Californication: The First Season by Natascha Mcelhone

This introduction to evangelical theology explains how connecting to five sources of Christian theology--Scripture, tradition, reason, experience, and community--leads to a richer and deeper understanding of the faith.

Clear and accessible, this book serves evangelical students and church people alike. This is a good introduction for any evangelical wishing to think more about the faith in which they so passionately believe.
--Tom Greggs, FRSE, University of Aberdeen

This book offers a helpful contribution to current discussions of theological method for evangelicals in their broadest historical sense. McFarlane offers an approach to integrated theology that not only is rooted in Scripture but is lived, tested, and proved in the real experiences of life in community. It calls for honesty and self-searching by all who would venture into such study, with a wholeness that mature wisdom brings to theology.
--Anna Robbins, Acadia Divinity College, Acadia University

McFarlane rehabilitates the Wesleyan Quadrilateral as an Evangelical Quintilateral, adding community to Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience, arguably bringing out what Wesley himself emphasized: that theology is only possible in the presence of God and of all others with whom we are formed and transformed. This is innovation on the theological tradition at its energizing best.
--Andrew Stobart, Wesley House, Cambridge

At a time when the word 'evangelical' is increasingly misunderstood or politicized, McFarlane's comprehensive and systematic account of an evangelical theological method is a breath of fresh air. This book will not only deepen your understanding of the foundations of your faith but also increase your love for the God of the gospel and his mission in the world today.
--Hannah Steele, St. Mellitus College, London

A preoccupation with theological method has been described as clearing one's throat. If that is true, McFarlane has accomplished this so well that those who read this book will speak with a more profound theological voice. McFarlane provides us with a truly evangelical prolegomena that goes further and deeper than anything that has been published, unpacking five dimensions of the theological enterprise in the company of a wide range of practitioners.
--Dennis Okholm, Azusa Pacific University; author of Learning Theology through the Church's Worship

McFarlane provides a much-needed critical-confessional model for evangelical theology revisited for the ecclesial realities of the twenty-first century. I highly recommend this book for students and individuals seeking a model for theology that is robustly evangelical and relevant for theological engagement today.
