Christine Johnson, B.S. in Christian Ministries (Indiana Wesleyan), M.Div. (Asbury) 'The Theme of Death as it Relates to John Wesley's Theology of Holy Love with Special Reference to the Doctrines of the New Birth and Entire Sanctification'
Christine seeks to explore Wesley's appeals to the realities of both physical and spiritual death in relation to his core theology of holy love specifically in terms of the new birth (real Christianity) and entire sanctification. She proposes that a proper understanding of Wesley's variegated reflections on death is essential for appreciating fully his theology of holy love, especially in terms of the nature of sanctification (both initial and entire) as well as its actualization in the warp and woof of life. Christine is working as a full-time student in cooperation with Asbury Theological Seminary. Her primary Supervisor is Kenneth Collins, with Herbert McGonigle acting as secondary advisor. Christine currently resides in Wilmore, Kentucky where she works part-time at Asbury Theological Seminary.
