Dr. Joseph E. Coleson, Professor of Old Testament, Nazarene Theological Seminary and Fellow of Wesley Studies Research Centre, University of Manchester will be presenting four papers on what he considers to be the major exegetical/hermeneutical issues these chapters present, and a number of theoological/pastoral/incarnational conclusions he believes all Wesleyans should take seriously because they are Wesleyans. Dr Coleson has written a number of books and is the Editor of, and contributor to, four volumes in the Wesleyan Theological Perspectives series. His forthcoming works include the fifth volume of the WTP series,
Care of Creation: Christian Voices on God, Humanity, and the Environment; the Commentary on Joshua in Tyndale’s
Cornerstone commentary series and a volume on Genesis in the
NBBC series. There will also be paper presentations from other Research Fellows and Junior Fellows. For online registration and payment details visit our website:

The Master: The Life and Work of Edwrad Sugden, to which I contributed chapter 9, "Reading Wesley's Sermons in Edwardian Melbourne," has appeared in Melbourne University's e-newsletter. I have yet to see any reviews of the book. If anyone comes across one please let me know. Queen’s College archivist Dr Jennifer Bars, writes that, “The papers reflect the extraordinary range of Dr Sugden’s interests and involvements over his long life, and illuminate a fascinating period in the early history of Melbourne.”
