  • Modernism's Influence on Postcolonial
    MSJ 28/1 (Spring 2017) 77–94 THE VERNACULAR CONSCIOUSNESS: MODERNISM’S INFLUENCE ON POSTCOLONIAL CONTEXTUALIZATION Chris Burnett Th.M. Candidate The Master’s Seminary Case studies in postcolonial contextualization mark a forty-year-old missiolog- ical trend in evangelical scholarship. The largely unqualified support of indigenous theological expression by mission theorists represents an epistemological shift from a conservative bibliology toward felt-needs evangelization and religious roundtable dialogue methods. Evangelical contextualization theory today echoes German Ro- manticism’s early assessments of indigenous language and local religion, especially as seen in the works of pluralistic Johann Gottfried Herder (1744–1803). No study of postcolonial contextualization is complete without considering the enduring influ- ence of Herder’s “vernacular consciousness” on the current missiological mindset. * * * * * The Challenge of Contextualization The role of the evangelical missionary today remains in a perplexing state con- cerning the necessary attitude toward the use of the Bible in delivering the gospel to all peoples. Questions about the role of Scripture in defining evangelistic and theo- logical contextualization in the Third (or Majority) World remain largely unan- swered. Despite four decades of mounting research the most important discussions of postcolonial missiology have been left in a formative stage.1 Bibliological ques- 1 Missiologists struggle to match current contextual realities to their biblical counterparts.

  • Jesus with a Genius Grant
    http://www.latimes.com/news/education/la-tm-fuller47nov23,1,4077230.story a d v e r t i s e m e n t Jesus With a Genius Grant Fuller Theological Seminary is teaching that smart Christians can have it all--science and the Bible, body and soul, left and right. To some, that's apocalypse now. To others, there's no turning back. By Alan Rifkin Alan Rifkin is the author of "Signal Hill," a collection of short stories published by City Lights in October. He last wrote for the magazine about former UCLA football coach Bob Toledo. November 23, 2003 The woman behind the name tag nancey murphy looks marooned, albeit cheerfully. even in a swirling sea of misfits—a New York Academy of Sciences conference on Madison Avenue—she stands out. She has green eye shadow, dumpling features, eyes that hum on the edge of surprise. Eventually a scientist from Denmark wanders over to ask a collegial question, which she answers—but in a herky, Captain Kirk cadence, as if she's replying by satellite. Then the lights flicker and it's time for Murphy's presentation —the first slot on the day's program, which says she is a professor of Christian philosophy at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. No wonder she looks marooned. Usually Christian academics don't address international bodies of the scientific elite. If they do, they fly in from a liberal school of religion such as Claremont in Southern California or Yale, not from one of history's bellwethers of the born-again, conservative, evangelical Christian world—a place founded by a fundamentalist radio preacher, a place chartered to train pastors and missionaries and supply scholarly defenses of the Bible.

    For the personal use of teachers. Not for sale or redistribution. © Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture, 2004 Varieties of American Evangelicalism Course Syllabus Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture 2004 Robert E. Brown Course Overview Evangelical Protestantism has played a vital role in shaping American history, culture and religion. It is estimated that some 25-35% of the American population (c. 70-100 million) today identifies with this movement. Far from being a monolithic entity, however, the religious, ideological, and social allegiances of evangelicalism are quite diverse. In addition, evangelicals maintain a somewhat paradoxical relationship with American society, functioning simultaneously as a politically powerful interest group (insiders) and as cultural antagonists (outsiders). This course is designed to introduce students to the history of evangelicalism, its characteristic religious patterns, and its ongoing negotiations with contemporary American culture. Structure The syllabus is designed to provide a broad coverage of issues important to understanding evangelicalism, while providing flexibility to shape the course according to the teacher’s interests and priorities. Twenty topics are included, making it possible to rotate subjects in and out of the course as desired. The instructor may choose to devote anywhere from one lecture to several weeks of class time to any one topic, depending on his or her own interests and judgment of its importance. It is envisioned here as an upper level undergraduate course, and thus is probably best taught in a seminar style, with a significant component of reading and discussion.
