Acknowledgments Iam indebted to a number of people whose influence has helped make the writing of this book possible . In particular, I gratefully acknowledge Bruce Marshall, under whose wise and generous guidance I wrote the dissertation on which this study is based; William Abraham, Rebekah Miles, Reinhard Hütter, Stanley Hauerwas, and Randy Maddox for their feedback on various chapters; Geoffrey Wainwright for introducing me to ecumenism; Edgardo Colόn-Emeric for initial conversations on Aquinas and Wesley; and Richard Heitzenrater and Randy Maddox, coleaders of the 2007 Summer Wesley Seminar on History and Tradition in the Wesleyan Heritage at Duke Divinity School, during which I conducted research on chapters 2 and 6. I also express my gratitude to my wife, Molly, whose love and encouragement are among God’s greatest gifts to me; to the Catholic University of America Press; and to the people of Otterbein United Methodist Church of Spry in York, Pa., who have been understanding and supportive of my vocation to theological scholarship as well as pastoral ministry. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents, Mary and Jim Loyer, to whom I dedicate this book. ix ...
