Square Peg: Why Wesleyans Aren't Fundamentalists

You've heard the old saying, You can't fit a square peg in a round hole. You can try to manipulate or force the peg, but really the only way you can make it fit into the round hole is by shaving some of the sides off. But once you do that, you change the nature of the peg.

In the same way, if we adopt tenets of Fundamentalism, we've inherently changed our Wesleyan faith we end up with something different. In Square Peg, well-respected educators, pastors, and ministry leaders demonstrate the distinct differences between Wesleyan theology and Fundamentalism through historical, biblical, scientific, and theological exposition.

In order to help the Wesleyan Church remain true to its theology and identity, it's important to understand how our tradition will never be able to fit into a Fundamentalist framework.
