ABSTRACT

Chapter Five presents a biographical sketch of James F. White to the reader before making some general observations about White’s work in context. Because of extensive extant material, White’s study is traced alongside his career in the academy with a keen eye to how his liturgical convictions developed over time. It concludes by arguing that in spite of several shifts in his thinking, White remained steadfast in many of the ways he sought to mediate worship in the Wesleyan tradition.
