Themelios 45.2 (2020): 227–32 EDITORIAL Pursuing Scholarship in a Pandemic: Reflections on Lewis’s “Learning in War- Time” — Brian J. Tabb — Brian Tabb is academic dean and associate professor of biblical studies at Bethlehem College & Seminary in Minneapolis, an elder of Bethlehem Baptist Church, and general editor of Themelios. he first time I wore a facemask and plastic gloves to our local grocery story, I was struck by the reality that things were not “normal.” In January 2020, the world first learned about a “novel coronavirus” outbreak that infected thousands of people in China. But by March, this faraway Tepidemic had become a worldwide pandemic that had infected millions and killed thousands, caused dramatic upheavals in the global economy, and fundamentally disrupted business-as-usual for most societies.1 Church buildings were closed on Easter Sunday. Schools at all levels from preschool to post- graduate studies were forced to adopt online and distance learning options and to hold “virtual” com- mencement services for graduates. Many universities and seminaries also eliminated faculty positions and degree programs due to declining enrollments, significant budget shortfalls, and uncertain futures.2 Even as “stay-at-home” orders lifted and businesses and churches began to reopen, an article in The Atlantic offered the sober assessment: “There’s no going back to ‘normal.’”3 An eighty-year-old sermon by C. S. Lewis offers timely perspective for these abnormal times. T. R. Milford, the vicar of St. Mary’s in Oxford, turned to Lewis—a veteran of the Great War and well-known Christian lecturer at Magdalen College—to address the concerns of Oxford undergraduates at the beginning of World War II. So, on October 22, 1939, Lewis addressed a large, attentive crowd of Oxford students and faculty with the sermon “‘None Other Gods’: Culture in War-Time.” The address was initially published as a pamphlet entitled “The Christian in Danger” and later appeared in a collection of Lewis’s occasional messages as “Learning in War-Time.”4 1 See further Brian J. Tabb, “Theological Reflections on the Pandemic,” Themelios 45 (2020): 1–7. 2 For example, Liberty University laid off philosophy professors and cut its philosophy program. “Enrollment Trends a Factor in Ending Philosophy Degree Program,” Liberty University, 12 May 2020, https://tinyurl.com/ yd2kb729. 3 Uri Friedman, “I Have Seen the Future—And It’s Not the Life We Knew,” The Atlantic, 1 May 2020, https:// tinyurl.com/ydbhpda7. 4 Walter Hooper, “Introduction,” in C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses (1949; reprint, New York: HarperCollins, 2001), 17–18. 227 Themelios Lewis reminds us that “life has never been normal.”5 He explains why and how we should pursue serious learning for the glory of God—whether in war or peace-time—and highlights three acute challenges that distract or discourage such scholarship. This article seeks to glean wisdom from Lewis’s “war-time” address to inform and encourage pastors, theological students, and other readers who labor during what the apostle would call “the present distress” (1 Cor 7:26). 1. The Need for Serious Learning Why would any sane person undertake serious study in theology, humanities, or the arts in the middle of a world war or a global pandemic? Such pursuits may seem futile and misguided: an unwise investment of resources and time given the uncertain job market. Some pundits might even proclaim it socially irresponsible to have one’s head in the books when the lives of millions of people hang in the balance. We might be tempted to think that engaging in patient, careful scholarship at such times is analogous to “fiddling while Rome burns” (p. 47). Lewis addresses these sorts of objections to traditional university studies due to the uncertainties and urgencies of World War II by arguing that we must attempt to “see the present calamity in a true perspective” (p. 49). A war—or a pandemic—does not really create a “new situation”; rather, it forces us to recognize “the permanent human situation” that people have always “lived on the edge of a precipice” (p. 49). “Normal life” is a myth; if people wait for optimal conditions before searching out knowledge of what is true, good, and beautiful, they will never begin. Lewis reminds us that past generations had their share of crises and challenges, yet human beings chose to pursue knowledge and cultural activities anyway. It’s not possible to suspend our “whole intellectual and aesthetic activity” during a crisis (p. 52). We will go on reading even in war-time—the question is whether we will read good books that challenge us to think deeply and clearly or whether we will spend our time on shallow, banal distractions. Lewis argues that we should not sharply distinguish between our “natural” and “spiritual” human activities since “every duty is a religious duy” (pp. 53–55). Whether someone is a composer or cleaner, a classicist or carpenter, their natural work becomes spiritual when they offer it humbly “as to the Lord” (pp. 55–56).

  • Torah Texts Describing the Revelation at Mt. Sinai-Horeb Emphasize The
    Paradox on the Holy Mountain By Steven Dunn, Ph.D. © 2018 Torah texts describing the revelation at Mt. Sinai-Horeb emphasize the presence of God in sounds (lwq) of thunder, accompanied by blasts of the Shofar, with fire and dark clouds (Exod 19:16-25; 20:18-21; Deut 4:11-12; 5:22-24). These dramatic, awe-inspiring theophanies re- veal divine power and holy danger associated with proximity to divine presence. In contrast, Elijah’s encounter with God on Mt. Horeb in 1 Kings 19:11-12, begins with a similar audible, vis- ual drama of strong, violent winds, an earthquake and fire—none of which manifest divine presence. Rather, it is hqd hmmd lwq, “a voice of thin silence” (v. 12) which manifests God, causing Elijah to hide his face in his cloak, lest he “see” divine presence (and presumably die).1 Revelation in external phenomena present a type of kataphatic experience, while revelation in silence presents a more apophatic, mystical experience.2 Traditional Jewish and Christian mystical traditions point to divine silence and darkness as the highest form of revelatory experience. This paper explores the contrasting theophanies experienced by Moses and the Israelites at Sinai and Elijah’s encounter in silence on Horeb, how they use symbolic imagery to convey transcendent spiritual realities, and speculate whether 1 Kings 19:11-12 represents a “higher” form of revela- tory encounter. Moses and Israel on Sinai: Three months after their escape from Egypt, Moses leads the Israelites into the wilderness of Sinai where they pitch camp at the base of Mt.

  • Resourcing Sustainable Church: a Time to Change - Together
    RESOURCING SUSTAINABLE CHURCH: A TIME TO CHANGE - TOGETHER Transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 1 Foreword from The Bishop of Lincoln Returning to Lincoln after almost two years’ absence gives me the opportunity to see and evaluate the progress that has been made to address the issues we face as a diocese. Many of the possibilities that are placed before you in this report were already under discussion in 2019. What this report, and the work that lies behind it, does is to put flesh on the bones. It gives us a diocese the opportunity to own up to and address the issues we face at this time. I am happy strongly to recommend this report. It comes with my full support and gratitude to those who have contributed so far. What it shows is that everything is possible if we trust in God and each other. Of course, this is only a first step in a process of development and change. Much as some of us, including me at times, might like to look back nostalgically to the past – the good news is that God is calling us into something new and exciting. What lies ahead will not be easy – as some hard decisions will need to be taken. But my advice is that there will never be a better opportunity to work together to uncover and build the Kingdom of God in Greater Lincolnshire. I urge the people of God in this diocese to join us on this journey. +Christopher Lincoln: Bishop of Lincoln 2 Introduction Resourcing Sustainable Church: A Time to Change - Together sets a vision for a transformed church.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.

  • GOD SAVES a PEOPLE the EXODUS May 22, 2019 Pope
    GOD SAVES A PEOPLE THE EXODUS May 22, 2019 Pope Damasus requested Jerome to revise the Latin translation of the Four Gospels. Jerome did not give a new translation but revised the Latin text in accordance with Greek MSS. In 383 Jerome also revised the Psalter according to the Septuagint. In 387 Jerome became interested in the Hexapla of Origen. He revised the Latin text of the Old Testament according to the Hexaplarian Septuagint. In 390 he translated the Old Testament directly from the Hebrew (took sixteen years). Modern Vulgate is composed of the following parts – Gospels were revised according to the original Greek. Other books of the Old Testament were probably revised but no clear documentation about it. Proto-canonical books (except the Psalter) were directly from the Hebrew. Deutero-canonical books – Tobias and Judith were from the Aramaic. Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, and Maccabees I and II remained from the Septuagint. Additions in Daniel were from Theodotion and those of Esther were from the Septuagint. ______________________________________________________________________________ Four major theological themes in Exodus 1) Liberation (Exodus 1-15) Social transformation occurs through the intentionality of a new God. 2) Law (Exodus 19-23) Announcement of the will of God affects all aspects of their personal and public life. God who liberates does not limit himself to religious matters. Ten Commandments come directly from the mouth of God. All the rest of the laws in Exodus are given by Moses (designated mediator). Israel devises a stable arrangement to follow the will of God and his purpose. 3) New Covenant (Exodus 32-34) Proclamation of the Law leads to the making of a new or renewed covenant.

  • Dynasty, Many Canaanites Were Allowed Into Egypt Again but Under Strict Governmental Control
    3.1 DESCRIBE THE ROLE OF CANAANITES IN THE NILE DELTA DURING THE 12TH AND 14TH DYNASTIES. ANSWER: In the second half of the Egyptian 12th dynasty, many Canaanites were allowed into Egypt again but under strict governmental control. Few among the Canaanites found job in Egyptian household as servants other worked in the Egyptian temple state and even served as dancers. Some Canaanites were also brought to Egypt as captives. 3.2 WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CLIMATE AND CULTURE OF EGYPT AFTER THE REIGN OF SESOTRIS III? WHY WOULD THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN A THREAT TO THE CONTINUATION OF PHARAOH’S RULE? WHY WOULD THIS MAKE A PHARAOH APPRECIATE JOSEPH’S WARNING? ANSWER: After the reign of Sesotris III, many things began to fall apart in Egypt. Nile flood level became erratic. In some years, flood level rose between 12ft and 24ft above the normal food level. Other years the annual flood levels were very low. Low Nile flood level brought famine while high Nile flood level brought great abundance. The Egyptians even taxed people on the basis of high the flood was. However, high Nile flood level brought death and destruction. This erratic food level of Nile brought threat to Pharaoh because he claimed to be in control of Nile food. So a destructive flood levels were a threat to his reign, they question the validity of Pharaoh’s rule. This may have accounted for the reason why rulers followed rulers during these years. Pharaoh lost influence in Canaan and resulted into magic to try to influence events in the North.

  • How Christian Leaders Interact with the Twitter by Zachary Horner — 59
    How Christian Leaders Interact with the Twitter by Zachary Horner — 59 How Christian Leaders Interact with the Twitter Zachary Horner* Print/Online Journalism Elon University Abstract This paper explores the relationship between Christian leaders and Twitter. Twitter’s founding resulted in an outburst in the use of the social media platform. Christian leaders quickly caught on, and today they use Twitter for a number of different purposes, seeking first and foremost to challenge and inspire their follow- ers. Through the study of 30 different leaders’ tweets, as well as different blog posts, articles and interviews outlining different approaches to Twitter and other social media, the study concluded that pastors were most concerned with getting across the basic message of Christianity while adapting their methods to include the new medium of Twitter. I. Introduction Since its launch in 2006, Twitter has been a leader in the Internet socialization of the world, greatly fulfilling its mission: “To give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.” With 500 million Tweets sent per day by 241 million monthly active users, it has penetrated modern society to a degree once known only by MySpace and Facebook.1 Christian pastors, to a degree, are no different. And some of them get more interaction on Twitter than pop star Justin Bieber. In June 2012, Amy O’Leary published a story in The New York Times titled “Christian Leaders Are Powerhouses on Twitter,” writing about how influential pastors and Christian speakers such as Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen and Max Lucado were generating more reactions on Twitter than Bieber.

The Eschatology of the Dead Sea Scrolls J. Randall Price, Ph.D. Center for Judaic Studies Liberty University [email protected] Recent unrest in the Middle East regularly stimulates discussion on the eschatological interpretation of events within the biblical context. In light of this interest it is relevant to consider the oldest eschatological interpretation of biblical texts that had their origin in the Middle East – the Dead Sea Scrolls. This collection of some 1,000 and more documents that were recovered from caves along the northwestern shores of the Dead Sea in Israel, has become for scholars of both the Old and New Testaments a window into Jewish interpretation in the Late Second Temple period, a time known for intense messianic expectation. The sectarian documents (non-biblical texts authored by the Qumran Sect or collected by the Jewish Community) among these documents are eschatological in nature and afford the earliest and most complete perspective into the thinking of at least one Jewish group at the time of Jesus’ birth and the formation of the early church.

  • Edwards and the Next Generation of Evangelicals
    EDWARDS AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF EVANGELICALS Piper is coming to Sydney this year, and will draw massive crowds. Driscoll isn’t coming to Sydney this year, but it is estimated that a million of his sermons will be downloaded in Australia anyway. Many of us would like Keller to visit, but he is not especially the travelling sort. These men, the Holy Trinity (as they have been called) of neo-Calvinist church-planting energy, are getting our attention, and redrawing the map of contemporary evangelicalism, not just in Australia but all around the world. Of course, they are just the tip of the iceberg. We don’t hear as much in Australia about CJ Mahaney, or Ligon Duncan, or Mark Dever, or Ed Stetzer, or Josh Harris, or Rick Holland, but they are all influential in Reformed circles in the US, and represent what Collin Hansen, journalist for Christianity Today, has dubbed the young, restless and Reformed generation. Their mega-conferences which go under the titles of “Together for the Gospel,” or “Resolved,” “Passion” or “Next,” bring together thousands of pastors and lots of wannabes to hear expository preaching and to sing contemporary music with seriously theological lyrics. What is perhaps more significant, they all drink at the same well: Jonathan Edwards. I am unabashed apologist for Edwards, a great enthusiast for understanding the eighteenth century revivals, and especially the impact those revivals have had on the foundations of Christianity in Australia, but I am nevertheless amazed by the resurgence of interest in Edwards amongst Gen Y believers. I came to Edwards by reading about Methodism and Pietism.
