   Alex Deasley, NTS professor emeritus, honored by seminary communityKansas City, MissouriFriday, April 22, 2005Holiness and Ecclesiology in the New Testament will serve as the working title of a volume of essays being compiled in honor of Alex R. G. Deasley, Nazarene Theological Seminary (NTS) professor emeritus of New Testament. Friends, colleagues, and former students of Deasley were in attendance in an NTS chapel on April 7, surprising him with the announcement of this work to be published by Eerdmans.
   ...
   Paul Bassett, NTS professor emeritus of the History of Christianity, wrote a special dedication to be read in the chapel service in honor of Deasley, his friend and colleague.
   ...
   Of Deasley and this volume of essays, Bassett shared, “Musicologists have long noted that at the end of his religious pieces, Johann Sebastian Bach almost always wrote the Latin words Soli Deo gloria â€"“to God alone be the glory.” I am sure that those who have done the honors in writing for this collection, and the one being honored by them, are no less firm in their yearning that while they have celebrated great gifts by exercising their own gifts it will be the God, from whom those great gifts come, who will indeed alone receive the glory!”
   ...
   The announcement of Holiness and Ecclesiology in the New Testament was a surprise to Deasley who, having been already honored as the NTS 2005 Preacher of the Year, was present in the morningâ€s chapel service to preach one of a week-long series of challenging sermons to the NTS community.»

He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees with honors from Cambridge University in 1958 and 1962, respectively, and his Ph.D. from the University of Manchester in 1972. Between his years of formal study, Deasley pastored congregations in Paisley, Scotland; Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; and Aston-on-Lyne, England.

He also has been editor of the Wesleyan Theological Journal, the official journal of the Wesleyan Theological Society.
