Hyde Park, NY: New City, 2002. WTJ Westminster Journal of Theology ix PREFACE The first place to attack the Christian faith is at the foundation of Scripture— both for the skeptic and for the believer. God has chosen to reveal himself to us by way of a Book, a Book that is also a sword. I have had countless discussions with people who struggle with the Christian faith in our present milieu due to a lack of confidence in Scripture’s testimony. When I have doubt, it more often than not resides in my doubting God’s promises as revealed in Scripture. If I cannot trust God’s words to me, then I am left hopeless and lost. I have no interpretation for the world around me. I have no direction and basis for morality. My love for Scripture began from childhood when we sang, “Jesus loves me, this I know; for the Bible tells me so.” The ground for my knowing that Jesus loved me was the Bible telling me so. God has graciously told us that he is merciful and slow to anger. We would not know this, even though the heavens declare the glory of God. We would know his immensity, but not his intimacy, save for him graciously revealing himself. In light of this, I can think of no other doctrine to which I could dedicate myself for the work of being called a doctor. God has been abundantly kind to cause me to persevere and produce this dissertation. It is a privilege to be able to submit this dissertation to the faculty of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I am forever indebted to the investment made in my life both in theological training and practice. As the old adage goes, I have never had an original thought in my life; I hope to merely repeat the refrain of the Gospel that has x been parsed out from my teachers until I die. I hope to rehearse the beauty of that Gospel from the men I have learned it from at the seminary. This work would not have been possible without the labors of others who served the church and me by offering their time and talent in this work. Any discrepancies in this work, however, are wholly mine. Micah McCormick read rough drafts of each of the chapters and offered invaluable insight and critique for how to organize and strengthen this work. Toby Jennings was a constant encouragement and helped in thinking through style guide issues. Sarah Lewis tirelessly worked on each chapter to make sure that it cohered with Southern’s Style Manual—work worthy of a doctorate itself! Marsha Omanson tirelessly worked on several drafts of this dissertation, ensuring with her ever-capable eye, to make sure it followed the proper formatting required by The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. CrossPoint Church in Clemson, SC graciously blessed me with a financial gift for a semester so that I would feel less strain while studying full time and working full time. I pray that your labors as a church continue to train an ever-new generation of mature disciples. Sovereign Grace Ministries has been overflowing in encouragement and assistance toward my family and me so that this dissertation might be finished. I pray that God continues to bless this ministry, of which I am now a part. John Franke took the time both to read a very rough draft of my chapter treating his and Stanley Grenz’ post-foundationalism and to talked with me on the phone regarding his views of Scripture, culture, and tradition. Dr. Franke, I admire your charity and willingness to help someone that not only disagrees with you but critiques your view. xi That, truly, is an example of Christian love. Nicholas Wolterstorff graciously read the final three chapters of this dissertation to ensure that I understood his position well—a position from which I hoped to build. For no benefit of his own, but for the sheer dedication to scholarship in the church, he offered helpful insight into Reformed Epistemology. I count it the highest honor to have been able to know and learn from Stephen Wellum, as well as grow in my personal Christian discipleship by observing him. I have told many people that Steve’s hermeneutics class changed my life; and it became the impetus for this dissertation. I have also told many people that I pursued my doctorate at Southern because of Steve. I remember walking with him to his car one day talking about academia and pastoral ministry. He turned to me and said, “I don’t need the world to know my name. I just want to be a faithful husband and father.” I can attest that he is both, in addition to being a first-rate theologian. By God’s grace many people may not know your name, Steve, but your influence will extend to innumerable people as pastors and theologians have learned from you and will teach their families and congregations what you have imparted to them. Thank you for showing me what it means to forebear and serve in the midst of adversity. Thank you for showing me what it means to be faithful.

  • LAY APOSTOLATE * Lecture I
    AMERICAN PROTESTANTISM AND THE- LAY APOSTOLATE * Lecture I: THE THFES PERIODS OF ALBICAN CUtPCH HISTOPY Although Spanish Catholicism was planted in areas contained in the present United States before English colonization, it did not shape our national conscious­ ness in the early period. American church history may be divided Into three periods, each with characteristic movements, and personalities, and the first period was dominated by British Christendom. From 1607 until well into the 19th century, that is for more than half of our self-conscious history, the relations between Christ­ ianity and culture, church and state, were with minor and fleeting exceptions precisely those which characterized the homeland. Just as the governments of the fourteen colonies - Nova Scotia did not revolt but must be reckoned with the other thirteen until after the Revolutionary War - were but extensions of British sovereignty, in one form or another, so the dominant pattern of church life was like a mirror held to religion in the mother country. I'Jhen church historians finally emerge from the protectionist stance into which denominational and apologetic interests presently surround them, thev will certainly follow the political and economic and military historians to Europe and reconstruct the religious history of the colonial period from that vantage point. Up to a generation ago the professors of American History were still writing filial history, looking back through the long tunnel to forces but dimly perceived and often unin­ telligible. There then arose a generation which went ~to London, to the archives of the Colonial Office. In the not too distant future practitioners of American Church History, still a neglected discipline even in the seminaries, will study the first x period where the most important sources and the one vantage point may be found: in / the files of the Bishop of London and the home offices of SPn and SPCK.

Moreover it is our will that each year for all time in the cathedral church of Durham on the twenty-seventh day of January, solemn rites of the dead shall be held, together with mass on the following day, for the souls of our dearest ancestors and of all the founders and benefactors of the ancient convent of Durham, to which shall be summoned the dean, all the canons, and the rest of the ministers, scholars and poor men. Cap. 34 of Queen Mary’s Statutes of Durham Cathedral, 1554 Translated by Canon Dr David Hunt, March 2014 2 Welcome Welcome to the annual commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. This service gives us an opportunity to celebrate those whose generosity in the past has enriched the lives of Durham’s great institutions today and to look forward to a future that is full of opportunity. On 27 January 1914, the then Dean, Herbert Hensley Henson, revived the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. It had been written into the Cathedral Statutes of 1554 but for whatever reason had not been observed for centuries.
