Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, 1967. 8 Foreword n 1984, as part of the extension courses of The King’s College at Albany Bible Institute, in Schenectady, New York, I had the privilege to teach a course on the History of Doctrine, 1650–1900. I was the Isenior pastor at an Orthodox Presbyterian Church in the city at the time, and on the extension faculty of The King’s College in New York State. My interest in the history of theology and doctrine came from a practical pastoral question as to why there had historically been so much resistance to evangelical thought and churches in that area. I learned that the particular region in which I was ministering was part of what was called the “burned over” district. It was a vast area in New England and New York that had experienced the Charles Finney revivals of the 1800s.1 While many so-called converts were added to the churches of the period through “hot seat” evangelistic methods,2 their children and children’s children resented and resisted such in-your-face evangelism and the evangelical movement in general. They ended up forsaking the church and allowing it to grow old and cold. (See the Appendix on Finney.) While historians may debate the summary statements above, I was personally told this history by an embittered family in the Amsterdam, NY area, as our church sought to plant a daughter church there. It was, without a doubt, tough going in seeking to establish a local base for an evangelical Presbyterian church in that town. When I had an opportunity to teach a historical theology course at a local Bible institute, I took on the task of seeking to understand the broader history of the evangelical church through the ages from the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation onward. I learned there is much reason for an aversion to evangelical thought and evangelical churches in New 9 England. That aversion, I was to learn later, resulted in very few major evangelical churches in New England. Those that were evangelically oriented were usually smaller and fighting for their existence in a region known for Unitarian universalism. Church growth experts from Fuller Seminary and other institutions in the 1980s would regularly avoid New England, preferring to focus their efforts and expertise on the southern and western parts of the country. I recall one church growth seminar in which I was explaining my woes of seeking to grow a gospel church in northern New York state. The seminar leader’s advice was brief and to the point — “Move!” It was just too hard to establish a significant foothold for the gospel in New England. The Puritan experiment of a “city on a hill” generally failed in New England, notwithstanding the revivals under Jonathan Edwards in Northampton, MA in the 1700s. Puritan scholars will greatly disagree as to the causes of this failure, but the fact that New England shows strong resistance to biblical, evangelical thought demonstrates and illustrates such widespread failure. Why all of this happened to the center of historic, old Princeton led evangelical thought and life demands a study of historical

    Course Syllabus Winter 2010 PENTECOSTAL THEOLOGY PENT 0505 Five Fridays: Jan 22 | Feb 5 | Feb 19 | Mar 5 | Apr 2 9am – 4pm INSTRUCTOR: William A. Griffin Email: [email protected] Course Resource Page: http://class.tyndale.ca Office hours: By appointment I. COURSE DESCRIPTION An examination of classical Pentecostal theology with references to the early evangelical influences that contributed to its formation. Attention is given to the manner in which various Pentecostal emphases have been appropriated and developed within different charismatic settings. Evangelical individuals and groups provided the roots of what developed in the 20th century as a distinctive Pentecostal Theology. The unique doctrines which distinguish Pentecostalism from its evangelical cousins relate to the person and work of the Holy Spirit, particularly the baptism in the Spirit, speaking in other tongues, and the gifts of the Spirit. The course also includes an examination of several offshoots of Pentecostal theology such as the “prosperity gospel” and “apostolic renewal.” The goal of this course is to provide a forum for Pentecostals and non-Pentecostals to consider and assess the essential features of Pentecostalism, its orthodox roots, and its offspring groups. -1- II. LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. identify the basic elements of orthodox theology which Pentecostals hold in common with other Christian groups 2. understand the distinctive features in the broad spectrum of Pentecostal beliefs 3. appreciate the integration of spiritual experience and doctrinal expression 4. recognize the essence of spiritual empowerment in Pentecostal evangelism and missions 5. employ the Scriptures in both a directive and corrective manner in addressing theological issues in Pentecostal / charismatic belief and practice III.

  • Patristic Exegesis and Theology: the Cart and the Horse
    WTJ 69 (2007): 1-19 HISTORICAL AND THEOLOGICAL STUDIES PATRISTIC EXEGESIS AND THEOLOGY: THE CART AND THE HORSE DONALD FAIRBAIRN his article grows out of two dominant perceptions that I have developed Tthrough my work with theological students and teachers. The first of these perceptions is that there is strong and growing interest in patristic interpretation of the Bible among evangelical biblical scholars and theologians. The second perception is that virtually all biblical studies students and professors I have encountered are working from a model for understanding patristic exegesis that is inadequate and does not reflect what patristics scholars have been writing about patristic exegesis for the last several decades. I have in mind the model that divides patristic exegesis into two competing—and largely mutually exclu- sive—schools, one based in Antioch and the other in Alexandria. Now I should hasten to add that the inadequacy of such a model is not some- thing that biblical scholars and theologians could necessarily have recognized themselves, and I hope that nothing I am about to write will be taken as a criti- cism of contemporary biblical scholars. Rather, the prevalence of this model is an unfortunate example of the way the scholarly arena sometimes works. What patristics scholars were saying seventy or eighty years ago about patristic exege- sis has worked its way into the historical theology, church history, and herme- neutics textbooks in the last forty or fifty years. As American patristics scholar Charles Kannengiesser recently pointed out, a great deal of work on patristic exegesis done by biblical scholars from about 1950 onwards treated the literal and figurative senses of biblical passages not as interpretive options for the texts under investigation, but rather as general exegetical methods, and these methods were bound to local ‘‘school’’ requirements.

    The Free Presbyterian Magazine Vol 110 April 2005 No 4 Which Version?1 he shelves of today’s bookshops carry an almost endless variety of Bible Tversions. But how should we assess them? And should we assume that the newer the translation the better? The book under review should give considerable help to those who are asking these and similar questions. In his Preface, Mr Macgregor gives his own experience: “As a young Christian I went to a church that used the Authorised Version (AV). However, on moving with my wife and family to a different area, we went to a church that used the Good News Bible (GNB) and the New International Version (NIV). This enticed me away from the AV for a while. At first these new versions appeared to be easier to read and understand. However, soon I began to notice serious discrepancies (that is, Old Testament references to Christ veiled or missing) in the GNB. This troubled me greatly. I stopped using it, but continued with the NIV, which seemed more reliable. However, as I studied it and compared it with the AV I had first used, I began to feel concerned. The NIV had verses missing, and later I found it had many words missing. Its rendering of some parts gave a completely different meaning. The more I read and compared, the more concerned I became. Also, like the GNB, the NIV was more difficult to commit to memory. I bought a Revised Authorised Version (called in the USA, and now here, the New King James Version (NKJV)).
