Author’s Abstract:
In what sense Prevenient Grace? For Wesleyans and other like-minded Christians, the grace of God is an apocalyptic reality that enables all of humanity to comprehend the risen Christ. While much has been written in favor of this doctrine (and against it), there has been little work done by Wesleyans in providing an exegetical basis for prevenient grace. Rather than engage in proof texting, the purpose of this article is to respond to criticisms and to offer a theological and exegetical reading of John’s Prologue that helps clarify and support the Wesleyan doctrine of Prevenient Grace.
