    ordained servant march 2018 islam revisited Ordained Servant Online A Journal for Church Officers E-ISSN 1931-7115 CURRENT ISSUE: ISLAM REVISITED March 2018 From the Editor Confronted daily with the growing presence of Islam in the Western world, it is incumbent upon Christians to understand Islam in all its complexity through serious study of accurate sources. As John Muether reminds us in the lead article this month, “The Reformed Faith and the Challenge of Islam,” unless we read more widely our view of Islam will be formed by the militant Muslims constantly in the news. Muether’s goal is to “supplement Dr. Estelle’s helpful article [“How Should the Reformed Church Respond to Islam?” published in Ordained Servant in 2008] by pointing out some strategies that are popular but may be counterproductive and even a hindrance to faithful Christian witness to the Muslim world.” Muether demonstrates the importance of the Reformed faith in missions to Islam by quoting missionary and Princeton Theological Seminary professor Samuel Zwemer (1867–1952), “only the Reformed faith can witness effectively to Islam.” Bryan Estelle reviews two important new books on Islam: Mindy Belz, They Say We Are Infidels and Darío Fernández-Morera, The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise. Belz presents a heart-rending, first-hand picture of the situation of Christians in Iraq and Syria. Fernández-Morera’s primary goal is to debunk the myth that has arisen in the modern world that the Muslim world in Medieval Spain, . was a space where Jews (mostly Sephardic), Christians, and Muslims lived in mutual tolerance and peaceful multiculturalism under Islamic rule.

  • This Is in Thesis Title Style
    Interpreting the Harmony of Reality: Jonathan Edwards’ Theology of Revelation William M. Schweitzer Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2008 To my fidelia. With love and joy. ii Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed by me, that it represents my own research, and that it has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. _______________________________ William Schweitzer June 2008 iii Abstract This thesis is believed to be the first full-scale study of Jonathan Edwards’ theology of revelation. The interrelated questions addressed in this work are ‘what was Edwards’ understanding of divine revelation,’ and ‘how did this understanding function in his larger theological project?’ The first question is answered by showing how Edwards’ theology of revelation flowed from a doctrine of the Trinity that featured the divine attribute of communicativeness, and from a doctrine of creation that theorised God created in order to communicate himself to intelligent beings noetically, affectionally and beatifically. Edwards’ theology of revelation was thus distinctively tri-dimensional in that Trinitarian communication contained noetic, affectional and beatific elements. This revelation encompassed the media of Scripture, nature and redemptive history, and Edwards’ understandings of each of these three media are explored in depth. The concept of harmony is shown to be key to Edwards’ use of all of these media. Edwards’ radical opposition to Deistic thinking, in which the media of revelation are alleged to be discordant, grounds the discussion in its eighteenth century context. The second of the questions posed above is answered by presenting a theory explaining Edwards’ great project as the pursuit of one objective: to interpret all reality as the harmonious self-revelation of the Triune God, so that human beings might better fulfil their purpose to apprehend and re-emanate this revelation.

Andrews, Ph.D. John S. McClure, Ph.D. Paul C.H. Lim, Ph.D. David H. Perkins, Ph.D. Copyright © 2015 by Sunggu Yang All Rights Reserved ii To my parents, infinitely supportive iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I give great thanks to the Graduate Department of Religion at Vanderbilt University and its doctoral program in Homiletics and Liturgics, which has extended tremendous support throughout my Ph.D. studies. Only with the Department’s generous financial support and the continual academic guidance of the program, could I produce this work. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Professor Dale P. Andrews, who from the beginning stages of this dissertation inspired critical thoughts in my academic consciousness and broadened my scholarly imagination. Through the very last moment of the completion of the dissertation, his academic care and guidance was enormous. Especially, I would not forget the precious three hours I had with him a day before the dissertation defense when he walked me through the whole writing for the clarification of my arguments. Above all, his scholarly excellence and homiletic and liturgical wisdom have formed me as an engaged scholar and teacher in preaching and worship. Furthermore, I confess, that he himself as a wonderful orator and preacher greatly and positively shaped my preaching practice.
