In an ad dress to the 1982 Ox ford In sti tute of Meth od ist Theo log i cal Stud ies, Al bert C. Outler out lined an agenda for what he called “Phase III” of Wes ley Stud ies, pro pos ing a slo gan for Meth od ist the ol o gies: “Back to Wes ley and his sources, and then for ward—with his sense of her i tage and open ness to the fu ture as one of our mod els.” Sub se quently, much work has been done in the area of Wes ley Stud ies to il lu mine Wes ley and his sources. This has led to ques tions about the pos si bil ity of, and need for, what might be called a “Phase IV” of Wes ley Stud ies—mov ing be yond Wes ley Stud ies per se to ap ply the re sults of re search in the area more broadly to the con struc tive theo log i cal work that is now be ing car ried out in the life and thought of the body of Christ (and not only in those church tra di tions hav ing a his tor i cal con nec tion to John and Charles Wes ley). Some theo lo gians use Wes ley and Wes leyan themes in their work, but they may or may not self-con sciously iden tify them selves as stand ing in the broad Wes leyan (or Meth od ist) tra di tion. Some make spe cific ref er ence to or use of the the ol ogy of John and Charles Wes ley in their own con struc tive theo log i cal work; oth ers do not. The panel dis cus sion pre sented here, from a Wes leyan Stud ies Group ses sion at the 2008 An nual Meet ing of the Amer i can Acad emy of Re li gion, fo cused on the ques tion of whether a “Phase IV” of Wes ley Stud ies can yet be dis cerned by ad dress ing the ques tion “What makes the ol ogy ‘Wes leyan’?”
