Fairly well done reading, but not faithful

This book was clicking along just fine until the author decided to reinterpret John Wesley in light of modern driftings of some camps within Christianity. Musings that Wesley would likely approve of various egalitarian positions or inuendos that he would are the exact sort of speculation that does not belong in a summarization of Wesley's teachings on holiness. I was very disappointed with this aspect of the reading. People do not pick up a book on John Wesley to hear your 21st century interpretive musings about what you believe he would say if he were alive today. Also, way too many reading of bibliographies at the end of each chapter. Some of the questions were well placed and provoking and the reading was pleasant to listen to.
