    "The Jesus Movement" Luke 4:14-21; Luke 5:27-32; Acts 1:6-8 January 25, 2015 Rev. Kelly Love Davis United Methodist Church We are focused on Jesus this month. My sermons this month have been exploring various qualities we see in Jesus of Nazareth. My hope is that this close look at Jesus also helps us understand the impact Jesus Christ continues to have in the lives of Christians today – and especially the impact Jesus Christ has on you and me. I hope this sermon series will get you thinking and talking about who Jesus is to you. Because if you listen in on the public conversation about who this Jesus is and what it means to be Christian – the conversation as it plays out in the public sphere in the U.S. – if you listen to what is being said in the wider culture, you will hear a whole range competing or conflicting understandings of Jesus and the Christian faith. In the face of these varied understandings of Jesus and Christianity, I want to be able to say who Jesus Christ is to me and why I call myself a follower of Jesus. I want you to be able to explain confidently who Jesus Christ is to you, and why you call yourself a follower of Jesus. All the aspects of Jesus I am highlighting are heavily influenced by the work of scholar Marcus Borg. Marcus Borg died this week. It is impossible to measure how much Marcus Borg has done to help contemporary Christians think deeply about Jesus and the Christian life.

Watkinson Publications. 23. https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/exhibitions/23 Series Introduction A traditional focus ofcollecting in the Watkinson since we opened on August 28, 1866, has been American periodicals, and we have quite a good representation of them from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. However, in terms of "discoverability" (to use the current term), it is not enough to represent each of the 600-plus titles in the online catalog. We hope that our students, faculty, and other researchers will appreciate this series of annotated guides to our periodicals, broken down into basic themes (politics, music, science and medicine, children, education, women, etc.), all of which have been compiled by Watkinson Trustee and volunteer Dr. Leonard Banco. We extend our deep thanks to Len for the hundreds of hours he has devoted to this project since the spring of 2014. His breadth of knowledge about the period and his inquisitive nature have made it possible for us to promote a unique resource through this work, which has POLITICS already been of great use to visiting scholars and Trinity classes. Students and faculty keen for projects will take note Introduction of the possibilities! The Watkinson holds 2819th-century American magazines with primarily political content, 11 of which are complete Richard J.

  • Étienne Cabet
    Étienne Cabet (1788-1856) was a French radical whose utopian visions led him to write a book “Voyage to Icarie” and then founded a community called Icaria in the United States. There is no evidence that Cabet actually visited Ikaria though some of the practices he describes in his book were in use in Ikaria, Greece at the time. In Barcelona there is both an “Icaria Square” and an “Icaria Road” both named in honour of Étienne Cabet’s Utopian “Icaria” Étienne Cabet was born in 1788, a year before the fall of the Bastille. For the first forty years of his life he was the typical radical Jacobin of the post-revolutionary generation, untouched by the disillusionment of older men whose youth and young manhood was lived under the Terror, the Directory, and the Napoleonic Empire. In 1820 he gave up a law practice in Dijon and became a director of the French conspiratorial revolutionary organization, the Carbonari. In the Revolution of 1830 he was a member of the Insurrection Committee. Louis Philippe appointed him Attorney General of Corsica, but he was dismissed for his attacks on the government in his book Histoire de la révolution de 1830, and in his journal Le Populaire . He returned to Dijon and was elected Deputy, whereupon he was arraigned on a charge of lèse-majesté and was condemned to two years’ imprisonment and five years’ exile. He went to Brussels, was expelled, and emigrated to England, where he became a disciple of Robert Owen. In the amnesty of 1839, Cabet returned to France and in the next year published a history of the French Revolution, and Voyage en Icarie, a semi-fictional account of a communist society, which he considered a modern version of Thomas More’s Utopia, as improved by the economic theories of Robert Owen.

  • They Called It the Jesus Movement
    They Called It the Jesus Movement Story by Jessica Russell, Debra Smith, and Tom Price Photos courtesy of CC Costa Mesa No Shoes, No Problem “No bare feet allowed,” read Pastor Chuck Smith as he ap- proached the church door early one Sunday morning in the late 1960s. Angry and sad, Chuck removed the hand- written sign. Many in the fellowship he had been leading for several years were embracing their pastor’s desire to welcome streams of young people—mostly beaded, bearded, and barefooted—regardless of the counter- cultural individuals’ hygiene or lifestyle. But the sign indicated to Chuck that some congregants were focused on preserving the building’s brand-new carpet. At the following church board meeting, Chuck expressed his and his wife Kay’s vision to impact the next genera- tion for Christ. “We will love these kids and teach them God’s Word,” Chuck challenged the leaders of the fellow- ship, an independent church in Southern California sim- ply called Calvary Chapel. They had already taught the new believers James 2:1-4, he pointed out: “My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes ... have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?” How could the church discriminate against the shoeless and shower-less, Chuck asked, after teaching them that Scripture? The point was well taken.

    House Church: Why We Do It by David Webber A Message for the 1st joint house church jamboree, Saturday, Feb. 5th 2011, Williams Lake BC Text: "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. " (Acts 2:42, NASB95) 1 INTRODUCTION When Reg Steward asked me to take 15 minutes or so tonight to address the question, “Why We Do House Church” I excitedly said yes. I thought I would simply talk about how the Christian church in the New Testament was primarily a house church: how it was kindled in the upper room of a home (Lk. 22.12; Acts 1.13;), how it caught fire and took off in the upper room of a home (Lk. 2.1), how it spread like wild fire through out Jerusalem in homes (Lk. 2.46-47) and how it continued to spread from house to house through out Judea (Lk.5.42) and indeed all of the Greco-Roman world (Romans 16.5;23; 1Cor.16.19; Col. 4.15; Ph.4.22; Phil.2). I thought I would talk about how the house church meeting was so much the norm in the first century church, that not only does it get mentioned as the norm in Acts and most of Paul’s Letters, but Paul begins to refer to the church not only as “the body of Christ” but frequently as “the household of God” (Eph.2.19; 1Tim.3.15). This was what I thought would be the gist of my address tonight.

  • The Jesus Movement and the World of the Early Church Is a Solid
    The Jesus Movement and the World of the Early Church is a solid, sim- ple, straightforward introduction for the undergraduate or general reader to the Jesus movement in its complex cultural and histori- cal world. The people, places, and objects of that world are clearly explained in text and glossaries. This is an excellent resource for the beginning reader. —Carolyn Osiek, RSCJ, Archivist, Society of the Sacred Heart United States-Canada Province Sheila McGinn’s book [The Jesus Movement and the World of the Early Church] is a masterful example of an important and difficult genre: the scholar’s presentation, for an intelligent and educated but non- specialist audience, of . the development of Christianity from Jesus to the period of the apostolic fathers. [She treats] all the New Testament writings and some of the early noncanonical writ- ings in their sociopolitical, economic, and religious contexts. In the process she educates her readers in how to handle ancient historical writings. This will be a valuable text for beginning theology students, parish education programs, and independent lay readers. —Sandra M. Schneiders Jesuit School of Theology, Santa Clara University The Jesus Movement and the World of the Early Church is a fascinat- ing, decade-by-decade synopsis of earliest Christianity from Caesar Augustus through Emperor Trajan. Using visual and material culture alongside biblical, Greek, and Latin writings, McGinn has written a condensed version of the history from Jesus through Bishop Ignatius that summarizes most New Testament writings, the Didache, and 1 Clement. An especially notable aspect of her book is extensive use of information from the writings of Eusebius, as well as from Jose- phus and those Roman historians who wrote about this period of time.

Brook Farm: The Dark Side of Utopia (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2004). The inherent scandal that a subtitle such as The Dark Side of Utopia suggests will leave readers who pick up Sterling F.
