Theology is concerned not only with historical doctrines or biblical interpretation, but with questions of ultimate reality, existence,…

The Disposable Society and the God Who Restores examines the tension between accountability and human dignity in a culture increasingly shaped by disposability. Drawing on Scripture, Wesleyan-Holiness theology, and the Salvationist tradition, the essay argues that Christian restoration begins with the conviction that…
Traditional systematic theology has often treated animals as secondary to humanity, mentioning them within creation and providence while rarely developing their theological and eschatological significance.
