interesting. It can be a lot of truth in this observation, butthere still seems to be a great interest for John Wesley even300 years after his birth and 265 years after his spiritualexperience in Alders Gate Street.I have myself not been so interested in thebiographical part pf Wesley, rather the problem orientedand systematic theological field as well as the philosophicaland logical studies. I must also mention the philosophy ofreligion as my field of Wesley-studies. I have also written amanuscript about John Wesley´ s systematic theology withthe title: “Rider with Love and Holiness”. In this work Itries to give a panorama picture of Wesley´ s theology,ethics and practical theology. My manuscripts are to befound in the United Methodist Library and Archives, DrewUniversity, Madison, New Jersey.There seems to be different interest fields amongmen and women even in Wesley- research. It is possible thatthe man psych is more interested in the theoretical andintellectual field while the woman psych is more interestedin the practical and the human relations that appear in thehistorical and biographical works.In John Wesley´ s Journals volume I, I saw apicture montage in three parts.At the top was a picture of the Parsonage inEpworth, which was called “The Rectory”. The Parsonagehas been bought by the Methodist Church, and is one of theHoly Places of the Methodist Church.In the middle are two pictures in round frames. Tothe left is a picture of the rector Samuel Wesley and to theright is a picture of Susanna Wesley. She is also lookingtowards the centre.101
