Welcome to
Catalyst Online! United Methodist (UM) seminarians have been receiving Catalyst
in their mail boxes since 1973. Since then our aims have remained
constant:
- to alert seminarians to significant resources within
the classical Christian tradition;
- to highlight evangelical perspectives on Christian
faith and practice;
- to stimulate serious consideration of classical
Christianity; and
- to encourage a seminary experience fully within the
Wesleyan tradition of uniting the two so long divided, knowledge and
vital piety
The current issue is volume 34.3,
March, 2008:
Rethinking the Role of Scripture in Christian Ethics: A Précis of Singing
the Ethos of God
