William Law (1686-1761) was an Anglican priest, Christian mystic, and one of the most prominent, popular, and controversial theological writers of his time. Law revolutionized the way in which 18th century Anglicans engaged the spiritual aspect of their faith, and his popularity rivaled that of John and Charles Wesley. Law adapted mystical practices from early church writings to the practice and doctrine of the modern British church, with the intention of equipping the Anglican layman to pursue intimacy with Christ.

A Dialogue Between a Methodist and a Churchman is one of Law's purely theological works. In it, Law engages what he sees as the most dangerous doctrines of Methodism using a dialectic format. The dialogue focuses especially on the Calvinistic doctrines of predestination and absolute depravity, and is remarkable for its extrapolation of Calvinist proof texts to refute the doctrines they allegedly prove.

This document is of vital importance. Thank you to LibriVox and the volunteering readers for bringing it to light. I do, however, wish that it were David Barnes reading as William Law and Kirsten Ferreri reading as the Methodist; it would have been more...fitting!

William Law is always good. Methodist in this dialogue is a straw man that gets pummeled. Methodism believes faith and deeds are distinct but the same and is portrayed slightly different in Laws book. It is very entertaining with several "ah-ha" moments. It is deep and enlightening.
