William Burt Pope

1822–1903

English Methodist theologian whose Compendium of Christian Theology succeeded Watson as the standard Wesleyan textbook.

In his own words

There is no more complete exhibition of the contest between the human mind and the unsearchable mysteries of Providence than in the prophecy which ends the Old Testament and anticipates the New. Similarly in the prophet Ezekiel the challenge of unbelief receives its answer: Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not My way equal? are not your ways unequal? The Divine ways are equal, when measured by all His attributes, unequal when measured by part of them. Our Lord's words to Simon Peter may bear the widest application: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
