Liv sa a prezante Quadrilatè Wesleyen an, yon kad teyolojik yo atribiye bay John Wesley, ki genyen kat sous pou konprann lafwa kretyen: Ekriti Sentespri a, tradisyon, rezon, ak eksperyans. Pandan Wesley te konsidere Ekriti a kòm otorite prensipal la, li te kwè ke tradisyon, rezon, ak eksperyans kapab bay plis richès epi soutni refleksyon teyolojik la.
Olye pou li konstwi yon sistèm fòmèl, Wesley te devlope yon metòd rechèch pratik ak dinamik, ki mete aksan sou obsèvasyon, entèpretasyon, evalyasyon, ak korelasyon. Li te aplike metòd sa a sou divès doktrin, tankou peche orijinal la, kote li baze konklizyon li sou Bib la, pandan li konsidere tou pèspektiv istorik, rasyonèl, ak eksperyans pèsonèl.
Nan kè teyoloji Wesleyen an, te genyen konsèp yon “relijyon kè a,” ki mete aksan sou yon lafwa vivan ki eksprime tèt li nan lanmou pou Bondye ak pou pwochen. Dokiman an mete an valè fason Wesley te konbine pite pèsonèl ak angajman sosyal, paske li te wè lavi espirityèl ak jistis kòm bagay ki pa kapab separe. Ouvèti li te genyen pou diferan ekspresyon kretyen ak sansiblite li pou kontèks la te fè metòd li vin fasil pou adapte epi enpòtan nan diferan kilti ak sitiyasyon.
Kidonk, Quadrilatè a ofri yon modèl teyolojik fleksib ak balanse, ki rejte dogmatism ki rèd. Pou fini, Thorsen prezante metòd Wesleyen an kòm yon apwòch teyolojik ki santre sou lavi epi ki toujou itil pou mond jodi a.

Summary in English
This book introduces the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, a theological framework attributed to John Wesley that includes four sources for understanding Christian faith: Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. While Wesley considered Scripture to be the primary authority, he believed tradition, reason, and experience could enrich and support theological reflection.
Rather than constructing a formal system, Wesley modeled a practical and dynamic method of inquiry, emphasizing observation, interpretation, evaluation, and correlation. He applied this method to various doctrines, such as original sin, grounding his conclusions in Scripture but also engaging historical, rational, and experiential perspectives.
Central to Wesley’s theology was the concept of a “religion of the heart,” which emphasized a living faith expressed through love of God and neighbor. The document highlights Wesley’s integration of personal piety with social concern, viewing spiritual life and justice as inseparable. His openness to diverse Christian expressions and sensitivity to context made his approach adaptable and relevant across different cultures and issues.
The Quadrilateral thus offers a flexible, balanced model for theological exploration that resists rigid dogmatism. In conclusion, Thorsen presents Wesley’s method as a viable, life-centered approach to theology for today’s world.
