Heo Cheon-hoe: Wesley's Life and Theology

“The only original work in Korea containing the life and theology of Wesley, rather than a translation, has been published.” This is Dr. Heo Cheon-hoe’s *The Life and Theology of Wesley*. Spanning a massive 920 pages, it vividly portrays the journey of his life from birth to his final moments. The greatest benefit we gain from this book is a correct understanding of “Wesley.” Unless one is a theologian studying Wesley, many people harbor misconceptions about him. For instance, the statement, “Wesley was an Anglican priest until his death,” prompts us to reflect on the misunderstandings we hold when discussing Wesleyan theology. Many Christians claim that Wesley left the Anglican Church to found Methodism. I hope this becomes a time for you to learn about a devout life, encounter God through that life, and realize the true meaning of sanctification by encountering Wesley’s numerous writings and the many things we have misunderstood and been unaware of. I hope you will learn to emulate the life of Wesley through this book, who, despite his advanced age, rode a horse around the globe more than ten times for the sake of evangelism, running with the passion of the Gospel in his heart. If Reformed theology was formed as Luther and Calvin initiated the 16th-century Reformation, Wesleyan theology was formed 200 years later in the process of overcoming the limitations and contradictions of Reformed theology that emerged in 18th-century England. Furthermore, Wesleyan theology has become the theology that ushers in the 19th and 20th centuries, connecting to modern theology.
