Wesleyan Quadrilateral
The Wesleyan Quadrilateral is a framework used in Christian theology to understand how beliefs are developed. It emphasizes four sources: Scripture (the Bible), Tradition (church history and teachings), Reason (logical thinking), and Experience (personal faith and life). These four influences work together to shape a person’s understanding of faith and morals, with Scripture often considered primary. The model helps believers thoughtfully explore and interpret their faith by balancing these different sources, ensuring beliefs are well-rounded and grounded in both ancient teachings and personal experience.
