How significant are the differences between Calvinism and the theology of John Wesley? Wesley claimed it was only “a hair’s breadth.” Yet many modern day “Wesleyans” are trying to run as fast and far away from Calvinism as they can. In this episode we discuss how Wesley actually called doing this “foolish and sinful.” Unfortunately running away from Calvinism has led many to question Inerrancy and deny important doctrine such as Penal Substitution and Meticulous Providence. In this episode we discuss the significant difference between Wesley and liberalized “Anglican Arminianism” and how he was much closer to the Evangelical Calvinists in his work for the Gospel.
