Dowey is the Archibald Alex- ander Professor Emeritus of the History of Tradition : Presbyterians Christian Doctrine at Princeton Theologi- cal Seminary. He is the author of The and Mainstream Knowledge of God in Calvin’s Theol- ogy and A Commentary on the Confes- l Protestantism A Review sion of 1967 and an Introduction to the Book of Confessions. by Edward A. Dowey How to Read These Books he gargantuan “case study” of mainstream American Protestant de- Tcline called The Presbyterian Presence: The Twentieth-Century Expe- rience—the production of about sixty scholars over roughly five years—is now complete in seven unnumbered paperback volumes heavily and repet- itively documented, filling 2,300 pages. 2 Funded by the Lilly Endowment and edited by Louisville Presbyterian Seminary faculty members, Librarian Milton J Coalter, President John M. Mulder, and Dean Louis B. Weeks all historians of American Christianity— it is a path-breaking and a back- breaking achievement for authors and readers, respectively. Whatever the verdict on individual articles or critique of the whole, the mass of research and variety of subjects covered by competent professionals make it a land- mark work. The “Series Foreword” is repeated in each volume, and an introduction to each by the general editors summarizes in advance what one is about to read and offers an ongoing orientation. Nonetheless, it is only in the final volume, The Re-Forming Tradition, that there is even a table of contents of the whole sequence in proper order together with a listing of each chapter title and author (pp. 336-344). The place to begin, therefore, is at the end, with this map of the whole. Indices are both copious and capricious, and so it pays to make one’s own on favorite subjects. ' Edited by Milton J Coalter, John M. Mulder, and Louis B. Weeks, The Presbyterian Presence: The Twentieth-Century Experience (Louisville: Westminster/John Knox Press, 1992). 2 Edited by Milton J Coalter, John M. Mulder, and Louis B. Weeks, and published by Westminster/John Knox Press (Louisville), the volumes are: The Presbyterian Predicament: Six Perspectives (1990); The Confessional Mosaic: Presbyterians and Twentieth -Century Theology (1990); The Mainstream Protestant "Decline": The Presbyterian Pattern (1990); The Diversity of Discipleship: Presbyterians and Twentieth -Century Christian Witness (1991); The Organizational Revolution: Presbyterians and American Denommationalism (1992); The Pluralistic Vision: Pres- byterians and Mainstream Protestant Education and Leadership (1992); The Re-Forming Tradi- tion: Presbyterians and Mainstream Protestantism (1992). THE PRINCETON SEMINARY BULLETIN Individual articles appear to be assignments from the editors, and authors show little awareness of how the same or closely related subjects are treated by fellow contributors. The coherence comes from the overall plan—de- vised entirely in advance, it would seem—with no inter-issue debate and no effort to relate the works except by arrangement of proximity and by edi- torial comment. Methods vary among the chapters from arbitrary miscel- lany, to explicit and admirable analysis, to method-bound unreality. Such observations show the mountainous problems faced in organizing such a project, and one feels admiration for the editors for handling such unwieldy subjects, some appearing here for the first time and some well known. As one would expect, and the editors state candidly, there was not unanimous agreement among them, even in preparing their common text for this last book. A study guide is available, which the present writer has not seen. But I offer the above comments as the experience of one reader hoping to be of practical help to others. A General Critique3 For so large a project as The Presbyterian Presence series, either failure or success would seem likely to appear on a grand scale. And so it has hap- pened. Indeed, both are writ large with publication of the final volume, The Re-Forming Tradition. Here, the three senior editors, in deep personal agony as lifelong Presbyterians (p. 30), offer skillful summaries and evaluations, and then try mightily to produce something positive from the foregoing mass of negativity. Quickly put, (1) the successful, instructive result of the series is an im- mensely informative, dispassionate, and quite devastating “case study” of “mainstream” Protestant institutional decline in membership and cultural impact, along with confusion in mission and internal fragmentation of com- munity, message, and theology.

    MC 601K—Reformed Ecclesiology and Polity Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Instructor: Preston Graham Jr. Fall Semester 2007 (Fridays: 1:15-4:15) Course Description: No extent of space interferes with the boundless energy of the Spirit, which transfuses life into us from the flesh of Christ. John Calvin, Corpus Reformatorum A lofty conception of the sacramental nature of the church indeed! And yet it formed the basis for John Calvin’s conception of the church as the New Covenant temple of God, so much so that He would later declare, Beyond the pale of the Church, no forgiveness of sins, no salvation, can be hoped for... and hence the abandonment of the Church is always fatal? John Calvin, Institutes (4.1.4) This course will seek to construct an ecclesial and pastoral theology in conversation with the historic Reformed tradition together with its practical relevance to contemporary ministry. Divided into two parts, ecclesial and pastoral theology respectively, both topics will be explored beginning with a redemptive-historical analysis moving to a confessional analysis and then finally to a contemporary analysis. The theological premise reflected throughout the course concerns the sacramental nature of the gospel, or the mediated presence of God unto salvation, as this then is reflected in a “temple” theology of the church and a “priestly” theology of the pastorate, albeit reflected in the classic reformed tradition. Our theological construction will result in both a “High gospel” (gospel centered and missional) and a “High Church” (confessional, sacramental and communal) spirituality relevant to today’s emergent ministry. Course Structure and Requirements: Structure: The course will be set up as a readings course coupled with classroom discussions and presentations.

Daniel A. Betters ―The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.‖ Mark 2:27-28 (NIV) This project developed during my personal study for the ordination trials of the Presbyterian Church in America. I noticed that many candidates would take an exception to the Westminster Confession of Faith concerning the view on the Sabbath. Consequently, I began to wonder what my view would be concerning the Lord‘s Day. As I began to study the Scriptures concerning the Lord‘s Day I became more aware of the importance of the fourth commandment. I began to present my findings in my teaching and preaching opportunities. I found there was resistance to any observance of the Lord‘s Day in many church members for various reasons.

MORRISON' From the Enlightenment there has arisen the strong tendency in theological circles to bifurcate, to dualistically separate, the text of Holy Scripture from "the Word of God," which is something reckoned to be necessarily other than all texts as such, whatever" the Word of God" is understood to be. The chasm between text and "Word" grew through the nineteenth century as a result of philosophical developments and, especially, the further development of historical-critical approaches to the study of Scripture.

    REVIEWS The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church. Vol. 5. Moderatism, Pietism and Awakening Hughes Oliphant Old Eerdrnans, Grand Rapids, 2004; xviii+620 pp., £29.99; ISBN 0 8028 2232 0 Old's first volume in this multi-volume large paperback series issued from the press in 1998 when he was a member of the Centre of Theological Inquiry at Princeton. A Presbyterian pastor, he had already made a name for himself by well-received studies on worship. He is now Dean of the Institute for the Study of Reformed Worship at Erskine Theological Seminary in Due West, South Carolina. This well-produced volume maintains the standard set in the earlier ones, and will be of particular interest to Presbyterians, although it is by no means limited to them. The main focus of the book is the eighteenth century but coverage in some areas is much wider. Old divides the material into nine chapters arxl within each chapter has distinct sections on notable preachers. He begins with Moderatism. No doubt to the initial consternation of those who associate this term too narrowly with the worldly preachers of eighteenth­ century Scotland, he considers John Howe, John Tillotson and Matthew Henry from Britain, and Jean-Frederic Ostervald of Neuchatel, the eloquent Huguenot, Jacques Saurin, and the Zuricher, Johann Lavater. We have a geographical spread, and also a very helpful entree into the Enlightenment period and the approach of orthodox preachers. Old moves through Pietism, with sections on Spener, Francke, Wesley and Whitfield, among others. New England comes next with some 130 pages of coverage on leading preachers such as Thomas Shepard, Samuel Willard and, of course, Jonathan Edwards.

  • Hearing the Living Word of God Today?
    ` HEARING THE LIVING WORD OF GOD TODAY? A SYSTEMATIC-THEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE AUTHORITY AND INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE FOR CONTEMPORARY KOREAN PRESBYTERIANISM HYUNG-CHUL YOON Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Theology at the University of Stellenbosch Promoter: Prof D J Smit December 2011 University of Stellenbosch http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this dissertation is my original work and has not previously, in its entirety or in part, been submitted at any university for a degree. Signature: ____________________________________ Date:________________________________________ Copyright © 2011 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii University of Stellenbosch http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT In the face of the crisis of scriptural authority, an urgent systematic-theological task is to chart the way beyond that crisis by providing a more convincing, comprehensible, and promising way to reaffirm the significance, truthfulness, relevance, and authority of Scripture in our beliefs and lives. The overarching aim of this dissertation is thus to search for a more appropriate systematic-theological framework for talk of the authority and interpretation of Scripture. To this end, this dissertation engages with three key dimensions — epistemological, doctrinal, and hermeneutical — in a dynamically integrated, mutually dependent, and holistic way. To affirm the epistemological status of Scripture as God’s truth, we need a more nuanced epistemological model by which to avoid the extremity of the modern dogmatic foundationalism and the postmodern relativist nonfoundationalism.
