ABSTRACT

This introduction offers a brief summary of the foregoing discussion in Part II, noting the significant recurring theological themes inherent to the nature of resignation for the believer and their reflection of the resignation of Christ, which have emerged. The introduction also indicates the areas to be covered in the remaining three chapters: two significant conclusions drawn from the research of Part II in Chapters 5 and 6, which identify the nature of the relationship between sanctification and resignation for Charles Wesley; and the final chapter, which concludes the study with an examination of the implications of this theology and spirituality for a twenty-first-century context.
