MODERN THEOLOGY AND CONTEMPORARY LEGAL THEORY: A TALE OF IDEOLOGICAL COLLAPSE t John Warwick Montgomery Abstract This paper bridges an intellectual chasm often regarded as impassable, that between modern jurisprudence (philosophy of law) and contemporary theology. Ourthesis is that remarkablysimilar developmental patterns exist in these two areas of the history of ideas and that lessons learned in the one are of the greatestpotential value to the other. It will be shown that the fivefold movement in the history of modern theology (classical liberalism, neo- orthodoxy, Bultmannianexistentialism, Tillichianontology, andsecular/death- of-God viewpoints) has been remarkably paralled in legal theory (realism/positivism,the jurisprudence ofH.L.A. Hart,the philosophyofRonald Dworkin, the neo-Kantian political theorists, and Critical Legal Studies' deconstructionism). From this comparative analysis the theologian and the legal theorist can learn vitally important lessons for their own professional endeavors.

  • Chapter One Recent Developments in the Doctrine of Scripture D
    CHAPTER ONE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DOCTRINE OF SCRIPTURE D. A. Carson .......tr ___________ ~ CHAPTER ONE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DOCTRINE OF SCRIPTURE The pattern of Christian thought that emerged from the Reforma­ tion is often summed up under the three phrases: sola gratia, sola fides, and sola Scriptura. When I was a boy! I sometimes wondered how logic could be preseIVed if there were three statements each claiming that something or other was "sola"; but in due course I learned that grace is the sole ground of salvation! faith is the sole means of salvation! and the Scriptures are the sole ultimate authority for faith and life-all set in the context of the polemics of the Reformation period. Precisely because the Reformers' theological formulations were shaped by the controversies of their age! it is clear that the "faith and life" formula was meant to be an all-embracing rubric! not a limiting one. They claimed that the deposit of truth lies in the Bible! not in the church or in the magisterium of the church. Their concern! in other words! was to spell out the locus of authority in order to rebut their Roman Catholic opponents! not to restrict the range of the Bible's authority to religious life and thought! away from history and the natural world.l The modern disjunction would have seemed strange to them. This side of the EnlightenmenC debate over the Scriptures soon moved on to broader matters. Although the history of these debates has been chronicled many times!2 a great deal of detailed work still needs to be done.

  • Daniel Strange Clark H. Pinnock: the Evolution of an Evangelical Maverick
    EQ 71:4 (1999), 311-326 Daniel Strange Clark H. Pinnock: The Evolution of an Evangelical Maverick The theological debate awakened by the work ofDr Clark Pinnock has figured more than once in the EVANGEUCAL QUARTERLY in recent years. The submission oftwo arti­ cles on the topic, the one dealing with the general development ofPinnock ~ theology and the other with the specific question ofexclusivism and inclusivism, suggested that it might be worthwhile to publish them together and also give the subject the opportunity to comment on them. The author of our first article is doing doctoral research on the problem of the unevangelised in recent evangelical theology in the University ofBristol. Key words: Theology; religion; inclusivism; Pinnock. ! Some theologians are idealogues, so cocksure about the truth that they are willing to force reality to fit into their own system; others are not so sure and permit reality to ch~nge them and their systems instead. I am a theologian 1 of the latter type. ! ' In this paper I wish t~; give a biographical study of the Canadian Baptist theologi~, Clark H.iPinnock, giving a flavour of his pi~grimage in the­ ology WhICh has spar;ned five decades. In understanding the current work of a particular sC,holar, it is always helpful to understand the con­ text within which he or she works, the theological background from which they have come, and the influences that have shaped their thought. From this it may even be possible to predict where they will go next in their theological journey. Within the Evangelical community, especially in North America, Clark Pinnock is one of the most stimulating, controversial and influ­ ential theologians, and a study of his work raises important questions about the nature and identity of contemporary Evangelicalism.

  • God, the Bible and Spiritual Warfare: a Review Article D
    14-Carson_JETS 42.2 Page 251 Thursday, May 20, 1999 11:37 AM JETS 42/2 (June 1999) 251–269 GOD, THE BIBLE AND SPIRITUAL WARFARE: A REVIEW ARTICLE D. A. CARSON* Many readers of these pages will know Boyd through his earlier and im- pressive work, Cynic, Sage, or Son of God? Recovering the Real Jesus in an Age of Revisionist Replies (1995). Boyd’s most recent book, God at War: The Bible and Spiritual Con˘ict (InterVarsity, 1997), is less interested in re- sponding to various reconstructions of the historical Jesus largely grounded in an over-dependence on Greco-Roman background tinged by philosophical naturalism than in establishing a line of thought that Boyd judges to be central in Scripture and that is largely misunderstood or distorted in contem- porary evangelicalism. There are two agendas operating in this book. On the one hand, we are treated to a Biblical theology of God as warrior, in some ways formally rem- iniscent of the recent book by Tremper Longman, III, and Daniel G. Reid, God Is a Warrior (1995), though with a very diˆerent theology. On the other hand, Boyd oˆers an understanding of God and a related theodicy that are highly reminiscent of the “open God” theology advanced and defended by Clark Pinnock, Roger Olson, William Hasker and others. In his introduction (“The Normativity of Evil Within a Warfare World- view”), Boyd reminds the reader of Daniel’s experience. After praying and fasting for three weeks, Daniel was visited by an angel who told Daniel that his prayer had been heard immediately, and that the angel himself had been immediately dispatched.

  • Clark H. Pinnock on the Open and Risking God
    1 FROM TULIP TO ROSE: CLARK H. PINNOCK ON THE OPEN AND RISKING GOD by Barry L. Callen By the eighteenth century Calvinistic theology had solidified into dogmatic assertions about the being of a sovereign God and God's relations to the fallen creation. Formalized at the Synod of Dort (1618-1619), this "TULIP" solidification had become firm Calvinistic dogma. Hardly a fragrant flower lacking rigid and defensive thorns, this particular theological TULIP consisted of the five affirmed articles of Dort issued in response to the Anninian Remonstrance of 1610. These articles were: (1) Total depravity; (2) Unconditional election; (3) Limited atonement; ( 4) Irresistible grace; and (5) Perseverance of the saints. The five petals of this TULIP are tightly interconnected as the logical chain that would become standard theological thinking for much of evangelicalism in the twentieth century. John Wesley carried on a long debate with Calvinists, especially the Calvinist George Whitefield. He certainly endorsed the fundamental concepts of a sovereign God and a fallen creation, but his view of the relational and redeeming nature of the sovereign God disallowed any unqualified unfolding of at least points 2-5 of Dart's TULIP. In the North American evangelical community of the last half of the twentieth century, this debate has continued. Wesley's view managed to gain only a minority position. This now may be changing, at least to some significant degree. A school of thought sometimes called "Free-Will Theism" has been pioneered by theologian Clark H. Pinnock. Since the 1970s, the theological work of Clark Pinnock has taken up the task of renewing evangelical theology .1 In large part this renewal has proceeded by Pinnock' s often controversial effort to freshly champion on the contemporary evangelical scene key theistic and soteriological insights similar to those of John Wesley.

  • Open Theism and Pentecostalism: a Comparative Study of the Godhead, Soteriology, Eschatology and Providence
    OPEN THEISM AND PENTECOSTALISM: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE GODHEAD, SOTERIOLOGY, ESCHATOLOGY AND PROVIDENCE By RICHARD ALLAN A Thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Despite Open Theism’s claims for a robust ‘Social’ Trinitarianism, there exists significant inconsistencies in how it is portrayed and subsequently applied within its wider theology. This sympathetic, yet critical, evaluation arises from the Pneumatological lacuna which exists not only in the conception of God as Trinity, but the subsequent treatment of divine providence, soteriology and eschatology. In overcoming this significant lacuna, the thesis adopts Francis Clooney’s comparative methodology as a means of initiating a comparative dialogue with Pentecostalism, to glean important insights concerning its Pneumatology. By engaging in the comparative dialogue between to the two communities, the novel insights regarding the Spirit are then incorporated into a provisional and experimental model of Open Theism entitled Realizing Eschatology.

  • The Inerrancy and Authority of Scripture in Christian Apologetics
    The Journal of Ministry & Theology 50 The Inerrancy and Authority of Scripture in Christian Apologetics Lee Allen Anderson Jr. INTRODUCTION Scripture’s call to Christians to engage in the apologetic task is markedly obvious. For example, 1 Peter 3:15 instructs believers to always be “ready to make a defense (ἀπολογίαν) to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you.” Similarly, Jude 3 exhorts Christians to “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.” Here, the “faith” refers not to the subjective element of personal trust in the Lord God, but instead to that “body of truth that very early in the church’s history took on a definite form,” that is, the content of Christian faith—doctrinal truth (cf. Gal 1:23; 1 Tim 4:1).1 Implicit in this verse, therefore, is the acknowledgment of the fact that a certain body of doctrinal truth exists, which in turn implies a source or origin for that doctrinal truth. For the Christian, the principle, authoritative source of doctrinal truth is the “God-breathed” holy Scriptures (2 Tim 3:16). The reliability of Scripture as a standard for Christian doctrine hinges on the fact that, as the inspired word of the true God who does not lie (Num 23:19; Titus 1:2; Heb 6:18), it is wholly true (Ps 119:160; John 17:17). To echo the words of the longstanding affirmation of the Evangelical Theological Society, “The Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the Word of God written and is therefore inerrant in the autographs.”2 This affirmation is not a peripheral issue to Christian theology; it is germane to the life of the church and, of logical consequence, the upholding of the Christian faith.

  • The Rapture in Twenty Centuries of Biblical Interpretation
    TMSJ 13/2 (Fall 2002) 149-171 THE RAPTURE IN TWENTY CENTURIES OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION James F. Stitzinger Associate Professor of Historical Theology The coming of God’s Messiah deserves closer attention than it has often received. The future coming of the Messiah, called the “rapture,” is imminent, literal and visible, for all church saints, before the hour of testing, premillennial, and, based on a literal hermeneutic, distinguishes between Israel and the church. The early church fathers’ views advocated a sort of imminent intra- or post- tribulationism in connection with their premillennial teaching. With a few exceptions, the Medieval church writers said little about a future millennium and a future rapture. Reformation leaders had little to say about prophetic portions of Scripture, but did comment on the imminency of Christ’s return. The modern period of church history saw a return to the early church’s premillennial teaching and a pretribulational rapture in the writings of Gill and Edwards, and more particularly in the works of J. N. Darby. After Darby, pretribulationism spread rapidly in both Great Britain and the United States. A resurgence of posttribulationism came after 1952, accompanied by strong opposition to pretribulationism, but a renewed support of pretribulationism has arisen in the recent past. Five premillennial views of the rapture include two major views—pretribulationism and posttribulation-ism—and three minor views—partial, midtribulational, and pre-wrath rapturism. * * * * * Introduction The central theme of the Bible is the coming of God’s Messiah. Genesis 3:15 reveals the first promise of Christ’s coming when it records, “He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”1 Revelation 22:20 unveils the last promise when it records “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly,’ Amen.
