Our Methodist Standards and Heritage : A Catechetical Commentary on the General Rules of the Methodist Societies and the Articles of Religion, as Well as the Other Beliefs of the Southern Methodist Church

Our Methodist Standards and Heritage calls all Methodist back the roots of Methodist teaching as shown in the General Rules of the Methodist Societies and in the Articles of Religion that John Wesley sent to America. The book can be divided into three parts. The first two parts are for all Methodists, regardless of denomination.

They cover the General Rules that governed the behavior of Methodists before the establishment of any Methodist church.

These rules were actually an evangelistic tool that demonstrated our need for the grace of God. The second part explains how the Articles of Religion are an expression of basic Protestant Christian beliefs and how they still apply today.

The last section begins by describing distinctive Methodist doctrines found in the Other Beliefs. Finally, Southern Methodist particulars are articulated and discussed.
