About Us
Welcome to the MWRC

The Manchester Wesley Research Centre promotes and supports research on the life and work of John and Charles Wesley, their contemporaries in the 18th century Evangelical Revival, their historical and theological antecedents, their successors in the Wesleyan tradition, and contemporary scholarship in the Wesleyan and Evangelical tradition. This includes areas such as theology, history, biblical studies, education, ethics, literature, mission, philosophy, pastoral studies, practical theology, and social theology.

The MWRC is located on the campus of Nazarene Theological College in the Manchester suburb of Didsbury and is affiliated with the Methodist Archives, housed in The University of Manchester John Rylands Library. These research centres provide magnificent resources for students and researchers in this field.

Isaac N. Hopper, M.Div. (Asbury Theological Seminary) 'Ontology and Incarnation in Trinitarian Theology: The Christological Implications of John Wesley's Doctrine of God'

Isaac began his doctoral research at Nazarene Theological College in January 2009 under the supervision of Dr. Allan Coppedge (ATS) and Dr. Tom Noble (NTC).  He currently lives in Wilmore, Kentucky with his wife Sarah and their two children.  Isaac's research seeks to identify John Wesley’s primary view of the ontological Trinity and to examine the implications of this doctrine for Wesley’s understanding of the person and work of Christ.  This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Wesley's Christology, which takes into account his presuppositions about the nature of God and pinpoints the Wesleyan distinctives.
