PREFACE
he following bibliographic resource does not provide exhaustive coverage
of all areas of Wesleyan and Methodist scholarship. This 6th edition
presents a select list of resources for students and instructors of seminarylevel courses in United Methodist history, doctrine and polity. The resource also
presents a minimum suggested standard for libraries to support such courses.
In addition to standard texts, past and present, emphasis has been placed on
selecting contemporary critical interpretations in print and online. Following the
format of earlier editions the materials in this revision are arranged topically.
For additional resources, including topics and materials not included in this
edition, please consult Christopher J. Anderson and Kenneth E. Rowe’s 5th
revised edition of United Methodist Studies: Basic Bibliographies.
The compiler is in debt to Kenneth E. Rowe for his work on earlier editions
of the text. Rex Matthews, Kevin Newburg, and Robert J. Williams reviewed a
draft of the text and assisted with additional recommendations. Luther Oconer
assisted with the cover design of this resource. Any mistakes or omissions are
solely the responsibility of the editor. Corrections, additions and deletions for
the next edition of this bibliography are welcomed and should be sent to:
