This study of prevenient grace in the Wesleys opens new ground in
understanding the seminal doctrine of prevenient grace in Methodism. He does so by uncovering a diversity of sources used by John Wesley in his exposition of this biblical concept. He also includes an in-depth examination of the complementary role of Charles Wesley's poetical discourse on the theme, which results in a more
comprehensive presentation of its form and function in early Methodism.
Finally, Crofford demonstrates major ways in which prevenient grace was
deployed in the writings of selected Methodist theologians.
