Lecture nine of a series on the 'Doctrine of Atonement', delivered by Dr. Mildred Bangs Wynkoop during the fall of 1979 at Nazarene Theological Seminary.
Dr. Wynkoop was a remarkable voice in the Church of the Nazarene—a writer, pastor, missionary, and theologian whose influence continues to resonate today. Her most celebrated works are Foundations of Wesleyan-Arminian Theology and A Theology of Love: The Dynamic of Wesleyanism, both of which continue to shape contemporary Wesleyan thought.
Her ministry journey spanned the globe and the academy. She pastored churches in California and Oregon, taught at George Fox Evangelical Seminary, and served as the founding president of Japan Nazarene Theological Seminary. She also taught in Taiwan before returning to the United States to serve as Professor of Theology at Trevecca Nazarene College (1966–1976) and later at Nazarene Theological Seminary (1976–1979).
Throughout her century-long life and ministry, Dr. Wynkoop met Phineas Bresee, studied under H. Orton Wiley and Olive Winchester, and left a profound impact on generations of students and colleagues across four Nazarene institutions—having studied at Point Loma Nazarene University and Northwest Nazarene University, and having taught at Trevecca Nazarene University and Nazarene Theological Seminary.
*Lecture 8 could not be restored. These recordings, captured initially in 1979, have been substantially restored. While Dr. Wynkoop’s voice has been clarified, student questions during Q&A segments may be difficult to discern. Her responses, however, remain clear and impactful.*

Dr. Sunberg currently serves as a General Superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene, a global position of spiritual leadership and significant responsibility, helping to guide a denomination with a presence in over 160 world areas.
Before her election to this vital role, she brought her leadership and academic insight to Nazarene Theological Seminary, where she served as its president. Her career is marked by a deep commitment to service, including more than a decade as a missionary in the former Soviet Union alongside her husband, Chuck. They also provided oversight for the East Ohio District of the Church of the Nazarene as co-District Superintendents.
With a background that also includes time as a registered nurse and as a published author, Dr. Sunberg brings a rich and multifaceted perspective to her ministry and leadership. We're so grateful for her time and excited to learn from her experiences.
In this conversation, we discuss her journey of faith and her recent book, The Christian Life.To order this book click here

The Meaning of Christian Security - D. Shelby Corlett
Tuesday May 13, 2025
Tuesday May 13, 2025
In this episode, we present a special audio adaptation of a theological classic: “The Meaning of Christian Security”, written in 1939 by David Shelby Corlett. A respected theologian, editor, and educator in the Church of the Nazarene, Dr. Corlett was known for his clarity, depth, and passionate commitment to scriptural holiness and sanctification.
This work is a rich and thoughtful exploration of what it truly means to be secure in Christ—not as a passive guarantee, but as a dynamic, ongoing relationship rooted in faith, obedience, and divine grace. Drawing deeply from Scripture and the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition, Corlett offers a vision of salvation that is both hopeful and profoundly responsible.
The essay is organized into five chapters, each unpacking a vital dimension of Christian security:
Security: A Divine Provision
What Is Eternal Life?
Security: A Vital Relationship
Security Through Co-operation
Its Scope
Whether you're a pastor, a student of theology, or simply someone longing to walk more closely with Christ, this timeless message offers clarity, encouragement, and challenge.
