OR ON THE GOSPEL OF CREATION AND RESURRECTION In his Theology of the Old Testament Gerhard von Rad follows the common conviction of his days, that it was Exodus that played pivotal role in the Old Testament.1 The story on how the Lord delivered his people from Egypt would be understood as a paradigmatic plot, ex- pressing ingeniously the “politics of God” towards Israel. Throughout modern history the power of this story was immense, be it for the Af- rican Americans in US, or the followers of liberation theology Latin America, or for Christians in – then – the communist part of the world. However, it was in those very sixties of the last century, that a shift occurred in the Old Testament theology towards more general anthro- pology. Wisdom literature, the accumulated experience of Mankind, became more frequented. The story about Creation, up to those days pushed behind as a mythological relic, was rediscovered. Does this shift represent a pendulum effect within the discipline, is it just a part of a broader tendency striving to balance the vigorous launch of the Dialectical theology? Diverse as the answers may be, it is clear that among the reasons for the theological shift the changing climate – not just in society (which then would be labeled Post-Modernism) but also literally throughout the globe (which then would be labeled global warming) – has its prominent place. Due to the capacities mankind has acquired it became capable to destroy the Earth. A new kind of global responsibility – and new love to God’s creation – is needed to challenge this threat. There is, however, quite a different voice on global warming, that can be heard form an unexpected edge. Czech Republic seems to be the only state in the world whose leading figure spends a consider- able amount of time denying the human responsibility for global warming. Twice in the year 2007 president Václav Klaus visited the US and repeated his warning against “unjustified alarmism of global warming activists.” If it reminds You of the false prophets in the days 1 Gerhard von Rad, Theologie des Alten Testament, München 19634, p. 135ff. 139 EDITORIAL of Jeremiah, who “have healed the wound of my people lightly, say- ing: Peace, peace,” then the resemblance may not be just accidental. The good thing about Biblical canon is, that it does not confront us with an exclusive alternative Gensis or Exodus. As the Midrash Gen- esis Rabba I,10 puts it: For twenty-six generations the letter alef complained before the Holy One, blessed be He, pleading before Him: ‘Sovereign of the Universe! I am the first of the letters, yet Thou didst not create Thy world with me (but with the letter bet in the word be-resheet)!’ God answered: ‘The world and its fullness were created for the sake of the Torah alone. Tomorrow, when I come to reveal My Torah at Sinai, I will commence with none but thee: I (anoki) am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.’ (Ex. XX, 2) Creation, Liberation and Covenant cannot be put one against the other – at least not in the Bible. In this edition the theme of creation and its function in theology will be discussed from different points of view. An essay on the concept of Creation and its inseparable con- nection to Resurrection in the Bible written by Jürgen Moltmann opens the issue. Retrospective and comprehensive studies written by Prague theologians Petr Macek and Ivana Noble contextualize Molt- mann within the debate of late 20th century (Macek) and introduce an Eastern Orthodox counterpart of him – the person and teaching of Dumitru Stăniloae (Noble). Rodney Holder, while winding his dou- ble expertise in both astrophysics and theology, introduces, interprets and defends the merits Wolfhard Pannenberg has for the new recog- nition of creation, history – and natural theology. Finally, Beat Zuber presents his daring hypothesis: if the main cantus of the Creation story in the Bible approves the earthliness of the Creation (repeated “good” after each day of it culminating in the “very good” on the sixth day), then the most intelligible context of this assertion – the position that the Bible argues against – is gnosis. According to Zuber, the era of gnosis of the late Greco-Roman period represents the ter- minus a quo of the Creations story. Much later dating of the text of Gensis is the consequence – a thrilling reading, indeed! Petr Sláma, Prague 140 THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST AND THE NEW EARTH THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST AND THE NEW EARTH Jürgen Moltmann, Tübingen 1. Creation is resurrection In the catholic liturgy for Easter night the reading of the first creation story in Genesis 1 is prescribed. This is a wonderful sign of a cosmic Christology: The world began with the resurrection out of the dark- ness of chaos to the light of a beautiful cosmos. “Already on the first day of creation the work of the new creation is flashing up: – in the midst of the old creation. With this the creation has from beginning on an eschatological character. We can perceive the creation as a great and real promise of God.”1 With the creation “in the beginning” its future in God’s kingdom is already inbuilt. All the creatures are real promises of their coming completion. Creation out of chaos is like a resurrection, and the resurrection of the dead out of the realm of death is like a new creation. God who awakens the dead is the same God, who “calls into existence the things that do not exist” (Rom 4, 17). God who raised Jesus from the dead is the creator of the new being of all creatures. Resurrection and creation belong together, because the resurrection of the dead and the annihilation of death are not only the overcoming of sin and its evil consequences but also the completion of the original creation. They are nothing less than the negation of the negative and the perfection of the positive. 1 Medard Kehl’s introduction to Pablo Carlos Sicouly, Schöpfung und Neuschöp- tung: “Neuschöptung” als theologische Kategorie im Werk Jürgen Moltmann, Pader- born 2007, p. 14. 141 JÜRGEN MOLTMANN 2. The Light of Easter From the beginning on Christians saw in the light of Christ’s Easter appearances the light of the morning of the first day of the new crea- tion. They called the dayspring of the resurrection of Christ on Sun- day the “eighth day,” the day after the Sabbath and the “first day” of the new week. In this light of the new creation Christ appears as the firstborn of creation (Col 1:15), reconciling with God “all things, whether on earth or in heaven” (Col 1:20). This is the starting point of the cosmic Christology, because in these dimensions we under- stand the resurrection of Christ not only as an “eschatological act of history” (“eine eschatologische Geschichtstal Gottes”), but also as the first act of the recreation of this transient world to its lasting and true form: the eternal creation, “world without end.”2 Resurrection is not only the meaning of history but also the meaning of nature. 3. Easter narratives of the disciples and the women To understand the cosmic aspect of Chriss resurrection from the dead more proficiently, we must pause for a moment to reconsider the New Testament Easter narratives:3 Jesus’ disciples were frightened and fled when Jesus, in whom they had placed their entire messianic hope, died on the cross power- less and abandoned by the God he had called abba, “dear father” in Gethsemane.

TOBEY Executive Editor, Princeton Theological Review Who am I to be a witness? Who are you? How can we even dream of being heard when addressing this wide world overcome by complexities, needs, doubts, and suffering? For Karl Barth, the answer is simple. He writes, “The point is, in general terms, that only on the lips of a man who is himself affected, seized and committed, controlled and nourished, unsettled and settled, comforted and alarmed by it, can the intrinsically true witness of the act and revelation of God in Jesus Christ have the ring and authority of truth which applies to other [humans]” (Church Dogmatics IV/3.2, 657). Darrell Guder is such a person, one whose witness is made indelibly clear as Christ’s compassion and conviction simultaneously shine through him. As he retires from his post as the Henry Winters Luce Professor of Missional and Ecumenical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, it is the great privilege of the editors at the Princeton Theological Review to present this issue in his honor.

ABSTRACT THE MARKAN “DIVORCE” PERICOPE: AN EXEGESIS by Carlos C. Camarena Adviser: Robert M. Johnston ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE MARKAN "DIVORCE" PERICOPE: AN EXEGESIS Name of researcher: Carlos C. Camarena Name and degree of faculty adviser: Robert M. Johnston, Ph.D. Date completed: April 2012 Problem Jesus pronounced one major saying on the question of "divorce" in the NT for which there are four independent reports: three in the Gospels (Matt 19: 1-9, Mark 10: 1- 12, and Luke 16:18) and one in Paul (1 Cor 7:10-16). The major accounts (Markan and Matthean)' though appearing to be similar, there are significant grammatical and syntactical differences and two vastly different ethnic foci (a Matthean-Jewish focus versus a Markan-Gentile one) so as to each merit independent analysis. Traditionally, however, the Church has mostly relied on the Matthean account to derive its theology on divorce and remarriage, even when Mark's account is widely considered to precede the lTbe Lukan account, though considered by many to be the most primitive, does not provide us with much context for it to warrant exegetical consideration.

    AN APOSTOLIC APPROACH FOR THE EVANGELIZATION OF POSTMODERN PEOPLE _________________________ A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the School of Theology Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Fort Worth, Texas _________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _________________________ Department of Evangelism _________________________ by Eric J. Thomas May 2002 ©Copyright by Eric J. Thomas 2002 All Rights Reserved INTRODUCTION Jesus Christ established the mission of the church through His command in Acts 1:8. This command to “testify to what they had seen, heard, and known of Him . is the principal task of every Christian.”1 To face the enormity of the task and the obstacles within the culture, Jesus promised power through the Holy Spirit sufficient for the fulfillment of the mission.2 As it was for the early church, so it is for the contemporary church. The Rise of Postmodernism Postmodernism represents one of the greatest obstacles to the mission of the contemporary church. Huston Smith describes postmodernism as a view of the world in which reality cannot be accessed.3 The influence of the postmodern perspective is prevalent in the culture today. 1Curtis Vaughan, Acts: A Study Guide Commentary (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1974), 15. 2See, Michael Green, Evangelism in the Early Church (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1970; reprint, Guildford, Surrey: Inter Publishing Service, 1995), 32-42. 3Huston Smith, Beyond the Post-Modern Mind, rev. ed.
