Christian Theology

Description

Adam Clarke was born in 1762 and died in 1832. He was a popular preacher within Wesleyanism. While he is not without controversy, including the nature of the eternal sonship of Jesus and his adherence to the possibility of entire sanctification (as part of Wesleyanism) in this life, he was a diligent student and preacher of God’s word.

While specifically commenting on his six-volume commentary on the whole Bible, Charles Spurgeon said of him: “If you have a copy of Adam Clarke, and exercise discretion in reading it, you will derive immense advantage from it, for frequently by a sort of side light he brings out the meaning of the text in an astonishingly novel manner. I do not wonder that Adam Clarke still stands, notwithstanding his peculiarities, a prince among commentators.”

Here is his Christian Theology, which contains thirty-six main headings regarding various doctrines and theological concepts from a Wesleyan perspective.
