  • Christian Spiritual Formation
    Christian Spiritual Formation Wilson Teo Regent University The term spiritual formation has been used in many Christian contexts given its recent popularity and yet this term can carry different meanings in these various contexts. The history of this word is traced to Roman Catholicism, and yet it has a different meaning within the Christian evangelical world. This literature review will focus on the various dimensions of spiritual formation such as its definitions, the underpinning theological foundation, the formational elements and the desired outcomes. The paper will also suggest the possible gaps that will require further attention so that the concept of spiritual formation is beneficial to the formation of the Body of Christ. Spiritual Formation has gained much interest and attention in the last two decades. It has been a popular title in many publications and a frequently used term in Christian conferences. The popularity and demand for spiritual formation resources have led to the establishment of spiritual formation institutions to meet the growing requests for teaching and training in this area. Some of these institutions are set up by well-known authors and scholars such as Dallas Willard Center for Christian Spiritual Formation and the Renovare Institute for Christian Formation. The interest for spiritual formation has gone beyond pastors and believers in local churches to the academic sphere where graduate institutions have partnered with the Renovare Institute to recognize spiritual formation modules as part of their postgraduate level programs (Renovare, n.d.). These highly recognized academic institutions’ engagements in spiritual formation reinforced its current importance and value to the Body of Christ, especially for ecclesial leaders.

THE ROLE PLAYED BY SATAN IN THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST There are at least six recorded occasions when Satan specifically attacked the Savior: • “In Bethlehem, where he attempted to kill Him: “And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him” (Mt. 2:13). • “In the wilderness, where he tempted Him: A.

  • John Wesley – Practical Theologian?
    Wesleyan Theological Journal 23 (1988): 122–47 (This .pdf version reproduces pagination of printed form) John Wesley – Practical Theologian? Randy L. Maddox FOR: Dr. J. Kenneth Grider1 When one reads secondary treatments of Wesley they repeatedly come across disclaimers of him being a “systematic” theologian. If an alternative characterization is listed, among the more common is “practical” theologian. One of our goals in this paper is to demonstrate the warrant for such a construal of Wesley as a practical theologian. A more important goal is to overcome prevalent caricatures of what this entails. For example, it often appears that classification of Wesley as a practical theologian is intended to imply that he “dabbles” in theology when it fits his pastoral or evangelistic purposes but does not take doctrinal reflection seriously. We hope to demonstrate that this and related implications are distortions of Wesley’s practical theology. To make this case we must place Wesley’s practical theology in its historical context. Until recently, such a contextual consideration has not only been lacking but almost impossible. Given the dominance, in the modern era, of the Western university model of Systematic Theology—with its accompanying application-discipline of Practical Theology, earlier understandings of “practical theology” were largely forgotten or distorted. However, this reigning model of Practical Theology is being called into question in recent discussions of theological methodology. These discussions have spurred historical investigation into earlier understandings of “practical theology.” They have also spawned calls for reformulating Practical Theology and, perhaps, returning to a model of theology per se as a practical endeavour.

  • "APPLIED THEOLOGY" to "PRACTICAL THEOLOGY" This Article, Which Places Its Emphasis On
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Spring 1995, Vol. 33, No. 1, 85-101. Copyright @ 1995 by Andrews University Press. FROM "APPLIED THEOLOGY" TO "PRACTICAL THEOLOGY" A. G. VAN WYK University of South Africa Pretoria, Republic of South Africa This article, which places its emphasis on "practical theology" rather than "applied theology," was prompted by my experience in observing a considerable amount of-sermon delivery in both South Africa and North America. Although my focus is directed mainly toward concerns and developments (the "cutting edges," as it were) in the South African scene, the data which I present should have significance and application also in North America and elsewhere, where gospel preaching is an important element in the religio- sociological structure. 1. Introduction and Orientation Terminology In my use of the term "practical theology" rather than "applied theology," or even, to some extent, "pastoral theology," I am making a conscious and definite distinction between practical theology as a science and the training and technical equipping of pastors for the gospel ministry. For the best results, a proper understanding and use of the latter should-perhaps, must-be undergirded by the former. At this juncture I should make evident my definitions of "method" and "methodology," two terms that are frequently confused with each other (and thus wrongly used). By and large, a "method" refers to the way or the procedure by which certain aims and objectives are attained. "Methodology," on the other hand, denotes the scientific study of methods or procedures undertaken in the cause of research. Objectives In preparing this article 1 have had several objectives or goals in mind.

  • The Paradigm Shift of Practical Theology and Theological Practice to Overcome Modernism and Postmodernism
    + MODEL HOSTED BY Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Pacific Science Review xx (2015) 1e11 www.elsevier.com/locate/pscr The paradigm shift of practical theology and theological practice to overcome modernism and postmodernism Chul Min Jun Kangnam University, Republic of Korea Abstract This thesis will examine past research to study the postmodern era's core idea and shed light on how this idea relates to modernism, i.e., the previous era. The thesis will also consider the foundation upon which these eras are built and see what they have in common and what sets them apart. The eras have humanism in common, but conformism (or standardization) and pluralism separate them. Through the dualism of Greek philosophy and the fall story of the Old Testament, I will show the origins of conformism and pluralism and propose a path to overcome them. I will discuss how, as Christianity comes across Greek dualism, the field of practical theology and theological practice has trended toward prioritizing theoria over praxis. In the tradition of Hebrew beliefs and the good news of Jesus Christ, practice and life are one, and I will emphasize that if one was to be prioritized, it should be practice. Life in the early Churches, which began through Jesus Christ and his disciples, was based on the practice of the Triune God's love through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Hence, a newly reflected paradigm based on the threefold love of Trinity is required in the postmodern era.

The definitions here are simplified versions of the most likely uses in the context of AGTS classes, early in a student’s first semester, and are based on Dr. James Hernando’s Dictionary of Hermeneutics where possible, which is a recommended resource. The * indicates a word is defined elsewhere in the list. a priori: an assumption or presupposition* someone has before beginning a study or discussion. allegorical: not the literal sense but portraying spiritual truths metaphorically* without reference to any actual historical events or people. An allegory never actually happened, like Pilgrim’s Progress. The Bible stories did happen unless otherwise indicated and so cannot be allegories. However, they can be typological.* anachronistic: not using technically accurate terminology for the time period. An example is reading NT terms or place names back into the OT context. apocalyptic: a type of biblical literature that is a dramatic, visionary, depiction of the ultimate cosmic victory of God over evil, using imagery that is significant to that time and culture, such as is used in the book of Revelation. Apocrypha: books written in the Intertestamental Period considered authoritative scriptures (sacred writings) by Roman Catholicism but not by Protestants or Jews and are called deutero*- canonicals by the Catholics.

MISSION STATEMENT New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and Leavell College prepare servants to walk with Christ, proclaim His truth, and fulfill His mission. II. COURSE DESCRIPTION This course examines the distinctively Christian doctrine of the Trinity and its implications for belief and practice. Students will explore the biblical foundations of the issue, become familiar the historical development of trinitarian doctrine, interact with the thought of past and present Christian theologians, and construct their own understanding of this crucial doctrine. This course also has an apologetic focus, equipping students to respond to religious sects that deny or misrepresent this central tenet of historic Christianity.1 1 The professor recommends either Scott Swain, The Trinity: An Introduction (Crossway, 2020) or Gilles Emery, The Trinity: An Introduction to the Catholic Doctrine on the Triune God (Catholic University of America Press, 2011) as an introduction to the course contents. 2 III. COURSE TEACHING METHODOLOGY As an elective course, class time will consist primarily of seminar discussions of the week’s reading led by the professor. Select lectures on various topics will supplement these discussions throughout the term.
