Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT From the Wesley brothers onward, Methodism has been decidedly minimalist in its belief and practice regarding the Virgin Mary. The rise of the modern ecumenical movement has coincided with a variety of attempts by Methodists and others in the pan-Wesleyan tradition to reassess, and in some cases expand upon, their received Mariology. This article surveys and analyses the history and current state of this Mariological ferment in its devotional, doctrinal, and exegetical expressions while offering its own constructive proposals to facilitate the further development of a distinctively Methodist Mariology.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
