  • REVIEWS the Rhythm of Doctrine: a Liturgical Sketch of Christian Faith
    REVIEWS The Rhythm of Doctrine: A liturgical sketch of Christian faith and faithfulness John E. Colwell Paternoster, Milton Keynes, 2007; 135 pp; £12.99; ISBN-13: 9781842274989. The idea for this work came out of a conversation with a fellow theologian who posed the question, 'What structure would you follow if you were to ever write a Systematic Theology?' In response to this the author has produced a work that is constructed around the church calendar. Starting with Advent, he moves through the year with Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and concludes with All Saints Day. There is value in such an approach, but, allowing for the 'big themes,' Lent and All Saints Day are of human manufacture, (some would argue that all are synthetic), and so his argument is weakened by their inclu­ sion. John Colwell is Tutor in Christian Doctrine and Ethics at Spurgeons' (Baptist) College, in South London. His churchmanship is therefore evi­ dent as he works through his thesis. So too is his own personal experi­ ence: he claims that his devotional life was deepened as he came through, 'the crushing darkness of clinical depression'. So also are his own theo­ logical prejudices: he speaks favourably, for example, of the enthusiasms of the Charismatic movement. The author has attempted to present a case for the Christian Church to be more systematic in its worship and preaching, particularly in respect to the Christian diary that is used by some sections of the Church. By endeavouring to do this he will alienate some, but enthuse others, with the scheme he is proposing.

  • Prisons in Scotland
    ST. ANDREWS !'.3E •NEMOMEIMFUNE'tACESSIT- SCOTTISH HOME AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT Prisons in Scotland Report for 1980 Presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Scotland by Command of Her Majesty November 1981 EDINBURGH HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE Cmnd. 8421 £5-80 net REVIEW OF 1980BY THE DIRECTOROF THE SCOTTISH PRISONSERVICE 1. The main events and developments in the Scottish Prison Service in 1980, and the relevant statistics, are detailed in the various chapters and appendices which follow. This brief review picks out the most significant of these for special comment. Prison Population 2. The average daily population of the Scottish penal establishments in 1980 was 4,860—somewhat higher than in 1979, when the numbers were affected by industrial action in the Sheriff and High Courts, but broadly comparable with the position in the earlier years of the 1970s. The overall capacity of the system is over 5,000. There has been, therefore, no serious general overcrowding. The distribution of places does not, however, match requirements in all respects. In several establishments the number of places available for untried inmates and for inmates serving short-term sentences is far from adequate; and many long-term inmates classified as suitable for training cannot be accommodated in training halls because there are insufficient places for them. These short-comings in the system are a cause for serious concern. 3. The Bail (Scotland) Act 1980, which substituted for money bail a system of bail on conditions, came into operation on 31 March 1980. It is too early to say with any certainty whether the Act has had the effect of reducing the number of remand inmates but the impression is that it has not resulted in any dramatic reduction.

  • Rethinking the Acceptable Year: the Jubilee and the Basileia in Luke 4 and Beyond
    Rethinking the Acceptable Year: The Jubilee and the Basileia in Luke 4 and Beyond by Christopher James Luthy B.H.Sc. (Queensland University of Technology) M.Div. (Malyon College) M.Ed. (Griffith University) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Divinity 2019 1 Abstract This dissertation questions the presence of alleged Jubilary motifs in Luke-Acts and argues that such features are better understood within the broader and more explicit tradition of the Basileia of God. The study commences with an examination of the development of Jubilee and Kingdom (Basileia) of God interpretations throughout the Old Testament and Second Temple literature, in order to determine the likely way/s in which Luke (and his readership) would have viewed both the Jubilee and the Basileia of God. The study then addresses some fundamental issues which have informed recent exegeses, centered particularly on Luke’s use of the terms ἄφεσις and ἀφίημι, and the theme of the Basileia of God throughout Luke-Acts. Significant attention is then given to Isa 61; both the first-century traditions that may have influenced Luke, as well as how Luke employed the text throughout his two-part work. Every suggested Lucan textual and thematic reference to the Jubilee is then examined, with particular attention given to the Nazareth episode (Luke 4:16-30), which is often cited as the most explicit Jubilee reference. In examining the validity of suggested Jubilee allusions, Richard Hays’s methodology for interpreting the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament has been adopted.
