| Summary: | From the Wesley brothers onward, Methodism has been decidedly minimalist in its belief and practice regarding the Virgin Mary. The rise of the modern ecumenical movement has coincided with a variety of attempts by Methodists and others in the pan-Wesleyan tradition to reassess, and in some cases expand upon, their received Mariology. This article surveys and analyses the history and current state of this Mariological ferment in its devotional, doctrinal, and exegetical expressions while offering its own constructive proposals to facilitate the further development of a distinctively Methodist Mariology. |
