It deals with reason and faith (Book II, Chapter ii, sections 16-18). To Calvin reason is the most excellent blessing of the divine spirit and `one of the essential properties of our nature.' God will punish those lazy believers, he says, who do not make use of the works of the ungodly in physics, symbiotics, mathematics and other similar sciences. To Calvin there is nothing inherently wrong with reason as such. His peer is the Renaissance. And yet the reasoning about God by philosophers `invariably savours somewhat of giddy imagination.' Some of them are `blinder than moles', he states, and if there is any light in what they say, it is as rare and useless as a single flash of lighting in a dark night. He hints that momentary insight is lost in the enveloping darkness of the night and falls short of an enduring comprehension of the entire landscape of existence. Yet reason and science are so precious to Calvin that in his interpretation of Genesis 1:16 he sides with the astronomers' view of creation and dismisses the Genesis account because Moses `being an ordained teacher as well of the unlearned and rude as of the learned, could not otherwise fulfil his office than by descending to this gross method of instruction (Calvin 37 sermon).' Calvin, following his hero St Augustine, regards God as representing order. It is rather central in his thinking. He interprets God `placing it in the heavens ¼ a habitation subject to no changes (exegesis of Psalm 119:89 in Calvin 40 sermon).' However Calvin does not want that separation to be so severe as to jeopardize its relevance; God's celestial order impinges on man's disorder, he thinks. To him the prophets in general and Jesus in particular bridge the gap. For instance in his exegesis of Acts 2:17 (sermon four) he calls them accurate observers of their times who spoke figuratively `before their time' and applied their `style unto the capacity of their time.' Science and reason are not comprehensive enough to Calvin's way of thinking. To achieve the state of enlightenment and comprehension of the entire landscape of existence one has to venture beyond the fleeting and vain power of the intellect and seek the foundation of truth. And to Calvin the only source of truth is God's grace without which God-given reason is vain. These sermons delivered at St Andrew's attempt to be true to the basic meaning of the scripture passages of the lectionary for each particular Sunday and to their interpretation in Calvin's forty-odd volumes of commentary in my library. Yet they are also strongly informed by what, I am sure, Calvin, if he were alive today, would call the social sciences of the twentieth century: ungodly. My vii CALVIN FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIUM forty years of academic writing and teaching in the social scientific study of religion will hopefully add patches of enlightenment. The sermons represent my fundamental understanding of biblical functionality. Yet they also prevent `slothful' neglect of up-to-date scholarship in the anthropological psychological and sociological disciplines. Hans Mol, 1 June 2008 viii CALVIN 01 PERFECTION and RESURRECTION All I want to know is Christ, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share his suffering ¼ (but) I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. Philippians 3:10-12 Today (2/4/1995) is a very special day for me personally. It is exactly fifty years ago that I was liberated by the Canadian armed forces. All relatives and friends had given me up for dead. Anybody taken to Nazi Gestapo camps for `undermining the German war machinery' was very unlikely to get out alive. Yet here I was, liberated and still alive. That day also happened to be Easter Monday in April 1945. Since that day Easter, or the resurrection in our text, has meant freedom and liberation to me. It meant and means to me, even now, that death has been left behind. I was twenty-one when the Gestapo picked me up and twenty-three when World War II finished. I had grown up on a bankrupt farm in a small Dutch village, where I occasionally played the organ in the mediaeval church. The minister there was a learned and powerful preacher. He would hold forth on sin and crucifixion, but it didn't mean much to me at the time. I went to church for the music. I felt that Bach's music reflected the anxieties and the turmoil of my teenage years. I attended a high school too demanding for my mediocre talents (the Gymnasium in Tiel failed thirty percent of students each year, mainly because it insisted on the mastery of six languages). Organ music to me was consolation, particularly when I could play it myself on our twelve-stop organ. But whatever was said from the pulpit went in one ear and out the other. To me it was drivel. What I lived by was the latent ideology in both high school and university; a philosophy built on reason and Jean Paul Sartre's existentialism. That fitted with my experiences of the humanistic liberalism of secondary education in the Netherlands and not at all with Christian theology. And then I was plunged right into the immense suffering of the Gestapo camps and prisons. It was not just physical survival I needed. It was also backbone and spine to face it all. It was then that the preaching of this learned minister came back to me. I began to realise that I could cope with all the pain and hurt and the problems that were part of living towards the end of the Second World War in German camps and prisons if I could see myself in the larger context of sin/breakdown and salvation/wholeness. Morale needed bolstering even more than ability to survive physically. Just as important, what I remembered of the 1 CALVIN FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIUM sermons in the village church of Ophemert fitted better with my war experiences than French existentialism. But I don't want to talk too long about my personal story. The excerpts of the crucifixion from Bach's St John's Passion before the sermon and of the resurrection from Handel's Messiah later are more important today. Yet this illustration of my own experiences fits in both with the music, and what St Paul says in the third chapter of the epistle to the Philippians.

FABC Ruby Jubilee Prayer (2012) God ever faithful, we praise you for your abiding presence in our pilgrimage in this land of Asia, hallowed by the life and mission of your Son Jesus Christ. We thank you for the mysterious presence of your Spirit in the depth and breadth of the spiritual quest of our people, in their enduring cultures and values, and in the struggles of the poor. We raise our hearts in gratitude for the gift of the Church in Asia, the little flock you tend with provident care in her mission of proclaiming your Gift, Jesus Christ the Giver of Life. Father, we thank you for the Federation of the Asian Bishops’ Conferences, an instrument of communion you have granted us for the past forty years. Your Spirit accompanied us in our common search for the paths of mission in our continent. As we celebrate your blessing, renew your Church in Asia with a fresh outpouring of your Spirit. Make us grow in greater unity; rekindle the fire of your Spirit to be credible bearers of the Good News of Jesus. Empower us as we “go” on the roads of Asia, that in inter-religious dialogue and cultural harmony, in commitment to the poor and the excluded, we may courageously tell the story of Jesus.

  • Julian, God, and the Art of Storytelling
    Godelinde Gertrude Perk Umeå Studies in Language and Literature 32 Department of Language Studies Umeå University, Sweden Celebrated for her compassionate theology and subtle, subversive imagery, Julian of Norwich (c. 1343 – c. 1416), the earliest known woman writer in the English language, is also an accomplished storyteller. This study explores and compares the narrative strategies found in her two accounts of her visionary experience, A Vision Showed to a Devout Woman and A Revelation of Love. Reading these two non-fiction texts as narratives, this analysis and the Art Julian, God, of Storytelling 2016 Umeå University, brings Julian’s stories into dialogue with the narratives of her own time, Middle English literary theory, modern narratology, and the texts’ attention to their own telling. This reveals that Revelation includes, expands and transforms the plot, point of view, and characterization of Vision, while Revelation simultaneously implo- des these narrative structures to hint at greater, divine structures. By creating a poetics of developing and enveloping in Revelation, Julian strategically depicts herself, God and the reader as charac- ters in each other’s narratives and as participating in each other’s storytelling: she authorizes her own story by making it God’s and the reader’s as well.

  • I Abstract the MISSIONAL THEOLOGY AND
    Abstract THE MISSIONAL THEOLOGY AND PRACTICE OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST DEMAND THAT GOD’S TRANSFIGURED PEOPLE FULFILL THE MISSIO DEI. MICHAEL GEORGE ELLIOTT Thesis under the direction of Professors Robert Hughes III and J. Neil Alexander The church’s purpose has always been to carry out God’s mission (the missio Dei) in the world, proclaiming, and working for the building up of the kingdom of God. As Robert Linthicum points out in his book Building a People of Power: Equipping Churches to Transform Their Communities , Jesus sought to initiate, in humanity, the reign or kingdom of God, God’s shalom ––God’s vision for human society. This kingdom of God is to be brought about by God’s people, seeking peacefully but shrewdly to re-form a society on the Jubilee principles of a reversal of fortune; where wealth is equitably distributed, poverty is eliminated, all politics are just, and all are reconciled to each other because all are reconciled with God (2 Cor. 5:19-20). As such, God’s people should personify and demonstrate by their lifestyle and behavior, their transfigured lives through their worship of and commitment to God. Our churches need to learn from Jesus, how he demonstrated the principles of the kingdom of God which he proclaimed and hence how tackled the power structures of his day that threatened the manifestation of that kingdom. When this is meaningfully and practically done by our congregations, then the proclamation of the gospel will find relevance in the lives of those outside of the church (and also for many within it).

Schweinsberg is a Southern Baptist Foreign missionary to Colombia. It was Dr. Maddry who had the inspired vision of establishing a chain of Baptist Missions in all the republics of South America. As Dr. Everett Gill, Jr. came into his ministry he fell under the spell and inspiration of this challenging vision, Today this dream has become tnore than a reality, for not only is South America encircled by: a chain of Baptist Missions but this circle has been linked up through Central America and Mexico to our work here in the United States. The greatest tribute that can be presented to the sacred memory of our beloved late secretary Dr. Everett Gill, Jr., is the record of advance in Latin America from the year 1941, when he was appointed by the Foreign Mission Board to his passing away on April 25, 1954. In 1941 Southern Baptists had 169 missionaries working in .Latin America-- today there are 385. In 1941, Southern Baptis ts had es tabliahed work in six nations in wia area--today thirteen nations are feeling the impact of our New Testament message. In 1941, z?.c~c werk 70,000 members in 600 Baptist churches--today there are 150,000 members in1,500 churches. Up until Baptists began work in Colombia in 1941 no new field had been, entered during a period of 23 years.
