ABSTRACT AN EXAMINATION OF PERSONAL SALVATION IN THE THEOLOGY OF NORTH AMERICAN EVANGELICALISM: ON THE ROAD TO A THEOLOGY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE by Robert F.J. Gmeindl The question under consideration is the effect of the belief in personal salvation on the theology of North American Evangelicalism, for the purpose of developing a theology of social justice. This study is a preliminary investigation of the history of Evangelical individualism and the potential influence that individualism might have on Evangelical theology. Certain trends toward isolation and separation, as well as a tendency to neglect what I have called systemic evil, are examined to see how they may result from the Evangelical stress on individualism.

  • Donald Macleod. "The Doctrine of the Trinity,"
    THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY DONALD MACLEOD FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND COLLEGE, EDINBURGH I must begin with a word of caution. This is indeed holy ground and I don't want to treat it as some kind of academic exercise. We do indeed have a barrage of technical terms to reckon with but these are always, I hope, tools of worship and adoration rather than equipment for mental gymnastics. The problem with which the doctrine of the trinity is concerned contains three basic elements. First, there is the unity of God. God is one. Amid all the emphasis on God's triune-ness this remains the most basic point in our faith. "Hear, 0 Israel, J ehovah our God is one J ehovah" (Deut. 6:4). We must never lose sight of that. Pagan religions had a multiplicity of deities, virtually one to each life-force. In Christianity we have one, exclusive Source of life and energy: one Creator, one elemental Power, one Monarchy. However we go on to define other elements in our doctrine, we have to keep this as our guiding principle: no proposition can be allowed to tamper with the emphasis on divine unity. The second element in the problem is the deity of Christ. This is a point on which the New Testament is emphatic. It is found in all strands of the tradition: Christ is the os, Christ is kurios, Christ is Son ofGod, Christ is Son of Man. He has all the attributes of God. He performs all the functions of God. He enjoys all the prerogatives of God.

The History of the Term Trinity and the heretical views 1B. Introduction – Theology Proper answers the question. What is God like? Heretical conflicts clarified our orthodox doctrines of Scripture. And there are two principles to determine orthodox doctrine. • God has revealed all we need to know through His inspired word. • The Holy Spirit will teach and guide the church into all truth. 1C. For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. [Rom 15:4 NASB] 2C. "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. [Jhn 16:13 NASB] 3C. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. [1Jo 2:27 NASB] 2B. 2nd Century – Conflict with Gnosticism 1C. The earliest extant usage is from Theophilus, ca. A.D. 170. 2C.

  • 1. the Nature of Theology Definition I) General
    1. The Nature of Theology Definition i) General Definition: The term theology comes from the combination of theos (Greek for god) and logos (Greek for word or dialogue). Theology is most broadly understood as a "discussion regarding God" (It is often said that theology may be defined as a "discussion of God" which intends the same meaning, though this is all too often misunderstood to mean "discussion by God") Thus any religion involving a god worthy of dialogue will require some form of theology. (Of course once you step out of western tradition, Greek terminology quickly loses its precision.) ii) Specific Definition: Christian Theology involves the entire study of God and His relation to man and the universe, while specifically incorporating all biblical doctrines. Difference between Theology and "Bible Doctrine" i) Bible Doctrine restricts itself to only what is taught in the Bible. ii) Theology goes to other sources of truth. Example: "Canonicity of the Bible" (Ie, The process through which the books of the Bible were decided upon) (a) Canonicity involves historical truths (as to how canonicity occurred) not recorded in the Bible. (b) One's stance on canonicity involves logical truths (as to what tests were used for canonicity) not recorded in the Bible. Example: Arguments for the Existence of God (a) Such arguments involve philosophical truths not expressed in the Bible. (b) Such arguments involve logical truths not expressed in the Bible. iii) Theology includes Bible Doctrine Theologians will at times study more than the Bible. (a) There is much truth not found in the Bible, such as in Science, History and Religion.

The primary research question is defined as: “To what extent do the dialogues under analysis relate to Arminian soteriology?” By seeking an answer to this question, new knowledge is sought on the current soteriological position of the Methodist-Lutheran dialogues, the contemporary Methodist theology and the commonalities between the Lutheran and Arminian understanding of soteriology. This way the soteriological picture of the Methodist-Lutheran discussions is clarified. The dialogues under analysis were selected on the basis of versatility. Firstly, the sole world organisation level dialogue was chosen: The Church – Community of Grace. Additionally, the document World Methodist Council and the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is analysed as a supporting document. Secondly, a document concerning the discussions between two main-line churches in the United States of America was selected: Confessing Our Faith Together.

  • Comparative Ecclesiology: Roger Haight’S Christian Community in History for Evangelical Resourcement Justin L
    Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies JBTSVOLUME 4 | ISSUE 2 Comparative Ecclesiology: Roger Haight’s Christian Community in History for Evangelical Resourcement Justin L. McLendon [JBTS 4.2 (2019): 317–333] Comparative Ecclesiology: Roger Haight’s Christian Community in History for Evangelical Resourcement JUSTIN L. MCLENDON Justin L. McLendon is Assistant Professor of Theology at Grand Canyon University and Grand Canyon Theological Seminary in Phoenix, Arizona. Introduction Due in part to its late arrival within systematic theological loci, ecclesiology remains fertile soil for wide-ranging investigative inquiries from academic scholars and thoughtful clergy.1 Paul Avis, doyen of academic ecclesiology, positions the discipline in the forefront of modern theological attention, even claiming, “during the past couple of centuries, ecclesiology became a major theological discipline; today, at the beginning of the twenty-first century of the Christian era, it is at the heart of theological research and debate.”2 Ecclesiology lies at the heart of modern theological dialogue because the identity, purpose, and power of the church are inextricably connected to all other biblical and theological emphases. One can hardly discuss any salient aspect of Christianity without acknowledging its connection to the church as God’s people, or explain in some sense how God uses this eschatological people as the conduit through which he presently engages human history.3 As research progresses to analyze global ecclesiological phenomena or specific issues within any longstanding church tradition, debates will persist as interlocutors grapple with multiform critiques and proposals.4 Broadly speaking, contemporary theological works fall within two approaches. One approach is decidedly categorical and/or descriptive.

  • Trinity Without Hierarchy
    “Written as a contribution to an important evangelical debate, this erudite volume deserves a readership across ecclesial divisions. All Thomists, for example, will find Tyler Wittman’s brilliant account of Aquinas’s Trinitarian theology to be necessary reading. May this volume’s Trinitarian reflections have a healing and unitive effect, not only among the evangelicals involved in the debate, but also across ecclesiastical lines so that we ‘may all be one’!” —Matthew Levering, James N. and Mary D. Perry Jr. Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary, and coeditor of The Oxford Handbook of the Trinity “This new collection of Trinitarian studies is theologically sensitive, biblically attuned, and historically concerned. Everyone interested in the future of Trin- itarian theology within evangelical Protestantism will find this book a good and encouraging guide.” —Lewis Ayres, Durham University and Australian Catholic University “In recent years, the waters of evangelical Trinitarian theology have been roiled and muddied by unfortunate debates about the subordination of the Son. The very fine essays collected in this volume make genuine progress in exegetical, biblical, as well as historical and systematic theology, and they will do much to help bring an end to this debate.” —Thomas H. McCall, Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Professorial Fellow in Exegetical and Analytic Theology, University of St Andrews “Orthodoxy matters. Who is the God we are confessing, worshipping, and living for in faith and obedience? Who is the God whom we long to share eternal communion with on the new heaven and the new earth? What theo- logical cultures are we receiving? It is incumbent upon the church to retrieve an orthodox confession and pass that down to the next generation.
