Human flourishing is an ever-expanding concept that crosses geographic, ethnic, cultural, and religious lines as persons, both individually and corporately, seek to find happiness, fulfillment, and purpose. This book brings together well-established and burgeoning Wesleyan scholars to consider not only John and Charles Wesley's understanding of human flourishing but the broader Wesleyan perspectives on contemporary issues such as calling, creation care, healthcare, education, technological enhancements, death and dying, and more. Throughout these chapters the complexities and challenges of life, both past and present, are explored and grappled with, and we are reminded over and again that God is the ultimate source of flourishing.

Industry Reviews

"Smith and Fringer have assembled a number of engaging essays that will undoubtedly challenge readers to think about God, humanity, and the created order in refreshing and holistic ways. The upshot of this effort will be greater awareness of humanity's considerable responsibilities in the network of vital relationships of which it

is ever a part. I highly recommend this book."

--Kenneth J. Collins, Professor of Historical Theology and Wesley Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary

"What does it mean for humans to do more than just survive? This question receives a robust examination from an erudite group of scholars. . . . The essays reflect Wesleyan perspectives that are informed, bold, nuanced, and irenic. The volume presents a hopeful but not simplistic vision for human possibilities. The resultant volume is an important contribution to discussions of 'human flourishing' in all branches of Christianity. For Wesleyans, Pentecostals, and other spiritual heirs of John and Charles Wesley, it will be a standard work."

--David Bundy, Associate Director, Manchester Wesley Research Centre
