  • HOLINESS EMBODIED in the ASIA-PACIFIC CONTEXT Floyd T
    HOLINESS EMBODIED IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC CONTEXT Floyd T. Cunningham INTRODUCTION Growing up in the United States, I mistakenly believed that rice, when cooked, should be fine and fluffy. TV commercials tried to sell rice that was guaranteed not to stick together but, rather, would fall apart. Each rice grain would not stick to other rice grains. That is what I was taught rice should be like. Upon coming to Asia and the Pacific, I have changed my mind. Rice is eaten with chopsticks. Rice should chump together. Each grain should cohere or stick together with other rice grains. How tedious it would be to eat rice one grain at a time! Post-modernism, Asia-Pacific ways of thought, and a renewed reading of Scripture prompt us to see that the Western over-emphasis upon individuality was a mistake. Revivalism arose in a culture that sepa- rated individuals. Our hymns and our preaching reflect this centeredness upon self. Consequently, our church’s emphasis has been upon the entire sanctification of individuals alone without, sometimes, bal- ancing that with an equal call to responsible participation within community. Both our context and the Bible call upon us to seek ways by which our call to holiness may be received and embodied collectively. Our personal holiness cannot be conceived apart from what and who we are as one part of a body of be- lievers seeking to find out what it means, in this time and in this place, to be a holiness church.1 SPIRIT AND STRUCTURE Spirit and structure cannot be separated.

In question is the historical reliability of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Historical/biblical minimalism, the side in the debate which finds the Hebrew Bible almost completely unreliable as a source for history, has already received substantial bibliographic treatment.

Cline, Biblical Archaeology. A Very Short Introduction. Oxford: Oxford University Press 2009. Pp. xi and 156. Price £7.99. ISBN 978 0 1953 4263 5. Reviewed by Anna Gottschall University of Birmingham This text, as its title suggests, has selected the main issues in biblical archaeology from a vast and complex field of study and presented them in a simple and easy to follow chronological discussion. The production of this text, as a beginners guide to the role that modern science and archaeology can play in providing context for biblical accounts, was facilitated by a growing fascination with biblical archaeology which is described as at an ‘all time high’ (p.1). This book is part of the Very Short Introductions series which aims to cater to the needs of non-specialist and new readers. Cline succeeds in explaining the history of this discipline, the important sites and finds, the problems of potential forgeries and the prospects for future research in terms suitable to non-specialist readers. He successfully merges detailed descriptions of archaeological and methodological advances with his analysis of key sites and finds to provide a fuller picture of practical archaeology. Within the Introduction, Cline appropriately defines biblical archaeology (subset of Syro-Palestinean archaeology dating from the early second millennium BEC to the first millennium CE) and explains that archaeologists do not ‘deliberately set out to either prove or disprove’ the Hebrew Bible or New Testament, but investigate the material culture of biblical times to reconstruct the culture and history of the region (p.3).
