The founder of the Methodist movement, John Wesley, was an avid reader and student. In his prolific writings, he encouraged others to do the same. John Wesley focused on scripture, tradition, reason, and experience when he studied. These four areas of focus later became known as the Wesley Quadrilateral. Knowledge is critical to an informed faith. God has given us minds to use as we engage the world around us and seek to advance God’s love in all aspects of our lives.

We invite you to follow in our founder’s example of study and education in our efforts to resist harm.

We hope that you will find the suggested resources below helpful for personal, small group, or congregational study. Several of these resources also have discussion guides provided for your use.
