Baylor University Press William J. Abraham: A Theological Profile

One of the most prominent theologians in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries was William J. Abraham, affectionately known as "Billy" to many. The impact of Abraham's teaching and preaching within the larger Methodist and Wesleyan families has created a substantial legacy that will continue to shape the church as well as challenge a new generation of scholarship. William J. Abraham: A Theological Profile seeks to begin a critical assessment and appreciation of Abraham's contributions over the years and explore these contributions in a wide range of fields–mission and evangelism, philosophy of religion, epistemology, and systematic theology, to name a few. The contributors to this volume include scholars and practitioners from different disciplines and ministries. They provide helpful insights into Abraham's work as well as offer personal reflections on the relational sensibilities that marked Billy as a true friend of the gospel. Their collective insights honor Abraham's memory, solidify his legacy, and preserve a piece of his rich theological imagination for future generations of the church.
