Congratulations to Reverend Professor Glen O’Brien, Research Coordinator and Lecturer at Eva Burrows College, on a recent glowing review of his work John Wesley's Political World from Wesley and Methodist Studies 18:1 (2026): 91-93; probably the highest regarded journal in the field of Wesley Studies.
The reviewer, Ryan Danker, sees the book as a 'substantive' addition to the field and a 'much needed corrective' to other work. He writes, 'The quality of the work greatly outweighs my critiques... O’Brien’s scholarship is so solid and his research so adept that even if I retain my disagreement with his conclusions in [some of the] chapters, I had to assess my own perspective when faced with such high-quality scholarship.' He concludes, 'O’Brien’s work is so vital to any description of Wesley’s political theology ... a must-read for anyone serious about Wesley, early Methodism, the eighteenth century, or the development of political thought. I commend O’Brien for this solid work.'
This book is available to borrow through the Eva Burrows College library.
Glen is teaching the units Remembering and Forgetting in Christian History and God in Christ in Semester 2 2026. Contact us if you would like to come and learn directly from the man himself.
