The John Wesley Institute is honored that former Asbury Theological Seminary President Timothy Tennent is becoming a Distinguished Scholar of World Christianity with JWI. His roll will include an annual lecture in Washington, D.C. He currently is Distinguished Professor of World Christianity at Asbury Theological Seminary outside Lexington, Kentucky. In 2025 he will become the Methodist Chair of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, Alabama. JWI promotes Wesleyan theological education and witness in the church and in society.
Founded in 2021, the John Wesley Institute exists to make faithful scholarship accessible to the Christian faithful. Leading scholars from the broad Wesleyan tradition – Methodist, Anglican, Holiness, and Pentecostal – are committed to equipping the Wesleyan movement with the riches of its heritage and the scriptural witness of its founders. Now more than ever the message of Scriptural Christianity, the universal offer of salvation, and the promise of wholeness in Christ needs to be proclaimed with clarity.
With its in-person events, scholarly Summits, documents, videos, and teaching fellows program, the John Wesley Institute is here to equip the churches to carry out this mission with faithfulness and integrity.
The work of the John Wesley Institute can be seen in resources such as The Faith Once Delivered: A Wesleyan Witness and The Next Methodism: Theological, Social, and Missional Foundations for Global Methodism, among other documents, videos, and conferences.
The John Wesley Institute also holds in-person gatherings.
