A Dialogue between a Methodist and a Churchman
By William Law (1686-1761)

William Law (1686-1761) was an Anglican priest, Christian mystic, and one
of the most prominent, popular, and controversial theological writers of his
time. Law revolutionized the way in which 18th century Anglicans engaged
the spiritual aspect of their faith, and his popularity rivaled that of John and
Charles Wesley. Law adapted mystical practices from early church writings
to the practice and doctrine of the modern British church, with the
intention of equipping the Anglican layman to pursue intimacy with Christ.

A Dialogue Between a Methodist and a Churchman is one of Law’s purely
theological works. In it, Law engages what he sees as the most dangerous
doctrines of Methodism using a dialectic format. The dialogue focuses
especially on the Calvinistic doctrines of predestination and absolute
depravity, and is remarkable for its extrapolation of Calvinist proof texts to
refute the doctrines they allegedly prove. (Summary by Kirsten Ferreri)
