<div dir="auto">I agree, Marshall. Glad you dived into chapter 1. Some years ago, I was working on the JWM archives on the first floor of Kemper preparing them to go to Wesley Theological Seminary, and I’m pretty sure they included a copy of Joe’s dissertation. Librarians are helpers by nature, and I’ll bet there’s an archivist in the WTS library who would be glad to text a photo of that item to us, especially if JWM’s archives are not in remote storage! The way I recall it, it may have been a bound book format. Does anyone volunteer to try? Or I could try. </div><div dir="auto">Nancy Trask</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 6, 2022 at 6:23 PM W.

<div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Friends, I actually read most of chapter 1 of JWM's dissertation, which is a long haul. (OK, so I speed-read the last part!)</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">So here are my thoughts and questions.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">First, does anybody know what happened to the actual boxed hard copy I saw in the Archives office?</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Second, does anybody know whether Wesley Theological Seminary has a hard copy in their JWM archive collection?</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Third, can anyone confirm, correct, or elaborate on the story I heard from Marge (I think) about how JWM refused to 'tweak' his dissertation, and thus never got his Ph.D. degree? Or tell us anything else they know about the origin and/or transmission of the manuscript?</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">I would love to hear about this from LiDonna, Sarah B., Fishel, Lingo, Gilles, Walters, Gene, Beret, Aimee, or any others still alive whose memory goes back as far as CFLC and the early days of EI. And anyone else who may have heard this story from Marge.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Fourth: My own somewhat vague memory is that JWM wrote this at Yale for H. Richard Niebuhr. Is that accurate? </div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">(see <a shape="rect" href="https://icaglobalarchives.org/collections/institutes-history/joseph-w-mathews/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" style="font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">The Founders – ICA Social Research Center</a>)</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Fifth, how can we date the completion/rejection/abandonment of JWM's dissertation? I would guess that it was while he was teaching at Colgate Rochester as an ABD faculty member. Is there a date on the ms. or some kind of documentation?</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Sixth, is there a copyright notice, and if so, who owns the copyright?</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Seventh, who added the running page header that says "Chapter one mathews"?</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">It just doesn't strike me as being part of the original typescript.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Now, for the icing on this cake!</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">I for one would vote to do all we can to reconstruct and correct the minutae of JWM's dissertation and produce a .pdf that could be widely available. Perhaps as a freely available document on a theological dissertation website. Or perhaps we could reformat the text with added section subheads (you know, they did that to English translations of the Bible! those subheads are not in the original Greek and Hebrew!) and even add a contemporary Forward.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Or even publish it on Amazon!</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">At age 82 I always contemplate the option of Doing Nothing! So we could just do nothing more with the JWM dissertation.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Plus, at 82 I'm aware of the mantra, 'Just do it now!' Or maybe later will be too late! </div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Because, starting many years ago, it was not considered exactly missionally relevant. Even by JWM. He just moved on. And perhaps he considered all that effort to complete his Ph.D. a misfire. Or a most unfortunate fire! Or whatever.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">But I encourage us to think in terms of this (admittedly bad) analogy: imagine that Picasso doodled a face on a napkin. It's still a Picasso!</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">(Please let me know if you have any of his napkins.)</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">So here's what I got from reading (more or less) chapter 1.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">We may not actually care very much about how John Wesley used his classical 18th century education and intelligence to understand and describe the human condition in relation to his grasp of the nature of the physical universe and his personal relationship with Ultimate Reality.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">But Joe Mathews did.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">So if you read his dissertation, what you get is Joe's 20th century theological lens applied to understand Wesley's theological world. </div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">I would venture to add that, IMHO, Mathews has added a significant voice or POV to Wesley scholarship, getting inside Wesley's construction of intimate human reality by placing Wesley's words in the context of his functioning intellectual universe of Western scholarship (from Hume to Descartes to Aquinas, etc.).</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Mathews is charting Wesley's understanding of epistemology (including his perception of divine activity in human experience) and his theological anthropology.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">It's Mathews' reading of Wesley's theological formulation of his personal process of his deepening, transformative experience of 'sanctification'. </div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">And, of course, it sounds more like Mathews' existentialist theological lingo than Wesley's 18th century theological formulations.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">For example, <font size="3" style="font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">"<span style="font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif;color:rgb(56,56,56)">the naked givenness of the impression" just doesn't sound like it was plucked from a Wesley sermon!</span></font></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">In a nutshell, Mathews is 'decoding' Wesley for twentieth century scholarly readers. (Who else reads Wesley's sermons? I ask. Raise your hands, please! I thought so.)</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Maybe that's why it didn't pass muster with HRNiebuhr!</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">Anyway, enough blah-blah-blah.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:16px;font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif">I vote for resurrecting this hidden/undiscovered gem for the few remaining authentic Wesley scholars to chew on.
