    Northern Baptist Theological Seminary TH 303 THEOLOGY OF CHURCH AND CULTURE Winter 2017 Monday 7:00-9:40 p.m. Geoffrey Holsclaw [email protected] 847.293.8140 Course Description and Objectives In this class, we will explore the church's relation to culture. This issue of the church's relationship to culture is important to one's pastoral vocation since all Christians must choose how to live and make moral decisions within a culture. The church must be able to communicate within and engage culture. Indeed, the very existence of the church depends on it. This class will study theological principles for guiding such an engagement between church and surrounding culture. It will guide the student through forming his/her own position on the church/culture relationship. This position should provide the basis for how each pastor will lead his/her congregation, shape the local congregation as a discerning people amidst the social and moral issues of our times, and provide strategies for witness, ministry and justice in the world. This class then will achieve the following goals: Understand the historical understandings of the church in relation to culture including those represented in Medieval Christendom, Magisterial Reformation and the development of the Enlightenment democracies and the separation of church and state. Articulate one’s own position and methodology for church engaging culture, utilizing several theologians of theology and culture as resources for understanding the issues. Read, discuss, engage and develop positions on several practical/moral issues the church must face today in its engagement with culture. Through this course the student will: 1.

  • Leftward to Scofield: the Eclipse of the Kingdom in Post-Conservative Evangelical Theology
    JETS 47/3 (September 2004) 423–40 LEFTWARD TO SCOFIELD: THE ECLIPSE OF THE KINGDOM IN POST-CONSERVATIVE EVANGELICAL THEOLOGY russell d. moore* The protagonist of Walker Percy’s novelThe Moviegoer would salve his depression by reading the liberal and conservative magazines in his neigh- borhood New Orleans library. The ideological conflicts in the pages were, to him, a “sign of life” in an otherwise lonely and impersonal cosmos.1 For some, the ongoing skirmishes between traditionalists and reformists over evangel- ical boundaries might seem to be a sign of life in a movement questing for an identity after Billy Graham and Carl F. H. Henry. For both sides of the divide, however, the issues raised by “post-conservative” proposals represent a challenge to the uneasy consensus of the postwar movement. For reform- ists, the post-conservative proposals are true to the heritage of evangelical theology as a movement initiated for the reformation of American fundamen- talism. And yet, recent developments reveal that the evangelical left may be pushing evangelical theology away from the theological consensus around the centrality of the Kingdom of God that the founders of evangelicalism sought to establish and saw developed into a full-blown consensus by the end of the century. And, in so doing, post-conservative proposals represent an ironic re- gression to the doctrinal reductionism of twentieth-century fundamentalism. i. post-conservative proposals and the development of evangelical theology Like evangelicalism itself, the “post-conservative” or “reformist” strands within the movement are difficult to define with precision. This is because reformist evangelicalism is less a “party” than a constellation of proposals seeking to reform various aspects of traditional evangelical theology.

Robinson A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Covenant Theological Seminary in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Ministry Saint Louis, Missouri December 11, 2018 Abstract The purpose of this study was to discover how pastors lead congregants to participate in God’s mission through their vocations. Pastors want to equip their people to be missional, but God’s mission is often not very well defined and the means for doing mission is often limited to church-centric programs or neighborhood outreach. Meanwhile, many Christians feel that they are living bifurcated lives, where Christian mission is separate from the rest of life. They are experiencing a “Sunday-Monday gap.” A pastor who wants to equip Christians to be missional sees that they are already participating in God’s mission through their various vocations. The researcher conducted qualitative research, interviewing eight pastors from various denominations who are leading their congregants to be missional in their vocations. A literature review explored the mission of God’s people and a theology of vocation. The interviews focused on what pastors attempted to help people be missional though their vocations, what challenges they faced, and their results.

    Amy Jacober, PhD Sonoran Theological Group [email protected] 2014 REA Annual Meeting, Nov. 7-9 Church and the Unmaking of Violence in the Experience of Those with Disabilities Abstract Violence comes in many forms for people with disabilities. It arrives in unwelcomed looks, unsolicited touches and unwanted taunts, name calling, and discrimination. The church has a role to unmake the violent climate surrounding all created in the image of God, in particular, those with disabilities. This paper will address the role of the church in the violent worlds of those with disabilities from the perspectives of practical theology and Anabaptism. It is a task to be carried out from the pulpit, Sunday school classes, small groups, and community involvement. “I have been concerned in recent years about war and peace. I am troubled by the wall that separates the powerful from the powerless. We are in a dangerous time when wars can break out and kill many. This leads me to ask, ‘What is the role of our communities in this wounded world?’ This question leads me to think about the cry of people with disabilities.”1 Jean Vanier wrote these words in response to a call for conversation around reconciliation. Being who he is, Jean Vanier naturally threw open the gates for the inclusion of all, including people with disabilities. While the scope of this paper is not military conflict, it is looking at a war of sorts that is waged all around the world, in every community. Every day, people around the world are locked in battle being abused and victimized at the hands of violent perpetrators.

Grand Rapids: Baker, 1999, 446 pp., n.p. This volume introduces 35 evangelical Biblical scholars from the 20th century. The editors “opted for a de˜nition somewhat more on the broad rather than the narrow side” (p. 8), although their precise de˜nition is left unstated. The editors’ six criteria for inclusion are: (1) scholars’ careers must have been at least in part in the 20th cen- tury; (2) representatives are included from both halves of the century (which means that a number of scholars included are still alive and active today); scholars must have had (3) some identi˜cation with the evangelical movement and (4) signi˜cant in˘uence on or in evangelicalism; (5) representatives from diˆerent denominational and confes- sional standpoints are included; (6) their major interest was in Biblical theology, rather than systematics. The essays are as follows. “John Charles Ryle,” by Peter Toon (pp. 13–21); “William Henry Green,” by Marion Ann Taylor (pp. 22–36); “John Albert Broadus,” by David S.
