Understanding the Wesleyan Quadrilateral | 10 Bible Study Lessons + Projects

Understanding the Wesleyan Quadrilateral | 10 Bible Study Lessons + Small Group Projects | Grades 6–12

Help students move beyond simply learning about the Wesleyan Quadrilateral to actually using it as a framework for faithful Christian thinking and decision-making. This comprehensive bundle includes 10 engaging Bible study lessons, each paired with a meaningful small-group project that encourages students to explore, discuss, create, and apply what they learn.

Designed for Christian schools, Bible classes, youth groups, homeschool co-ops, confirmation classes, and theology courses, these project-based lessons help students understand how Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience work together to guide Christian faith and everyday life.

Throughout the series, students investigate each source individually before exploring how the four work together to answer theological questions, navigate daily decisions, understand global Christianity, and ultimately develop their own thoughtful model of Christian discernment.
