Have any Wesleyan theologians compared Outler's Quadrilateral to PaRDeS?

Upvote:1

As a United Methodist pastor for nearly forty years, a contemplative mystic, I have found PaRDeS to be illuminating in all facets of spirituality. In short, PaRDeS points to four ways of seeing the world (i.e., worldviews).
The quadrilateral pertains to only one worldview.

Peshat: the worldview of followers, or the multitude;
Remez; the worldview of discipleship;
Derasha: the worldview of the prophets and apostles of the Spirit-led early Church
Sod: the mystics and those whose worldview is the kingdom of heaven.

Each of the Gospels emphasizes a particular perspective:
Mark: Peshat; Matthew: Remez; Luke: Derasha; John: Sod.

{I am currently writing commentaries on the Scriptures (the whole N.T. plus) based on PaRDeS}. The whole of Scriptures can be illuminated and understood by PaRDeS.
