The purpose of this dissertation is to examine John Wesley's soteriology, his teachings on the relationship between faith and works, and his "both and" theological methodology as providing possible directions in which the Korean Protestant Churches might move forward in remedying the situation.

To understand the Korean context, the Salvation Sect and its soteriology are examined. To accomplish this task, a historical-theological exploration of two of the Reformers, Martin Luther and John Calvin, are employed to understand the Reformation teachings on Justification and Sanctification as well as the relationship between faith and works. Relevant Biblical texts as well as the work of Professor Yon-Gyong Kwon, in particular, are examined, followed by an examination of the Wesleyan doctrine of salvation. By rediscovering Wesley and his theological methodology, the Korean Protestant Churches can realize a much needed correction by emphasizing the ethical dimension of faith and the necessity of sanctification without deemphasizing the need of God's justifying grace.
