The Theology of the Book of Amos John Barton Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-85577-8 - The Theology of the Book of Amos John Barton Frontmatter More information The Theology of the Book of Amos In modern times, Amos has come to be considered one of the most important prophets, mainly for his uncompromising message about social justice. This book provides a detailed exploration of this theme and other important elements of the theology underlying the book of Amos. It also includes chapters on the text itself, providing a critical assessment of how the book came to be, the original message of Amos and his circle, which parts of the book may have been added by later scribes, and the finished form of the book. The author also considers the book’s recep- tion in ancient and modern times by interpreters as varied as rabbis, the Church Fathers, the Reformers, and liberation theologians. Throughout, the focus is on how to read the book of Amos holistically to understand the organic development of the prophet’s message through the many stages of the book’s development and interpretation. John Barton is Oriel and Laing Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford. He is the author of numerous mono- graphs, including Amos’s Oracles against the Nations (1980), The Spirit and the Letter: Studies in the Biblical Canon (1997), and The Nature of Biblical Criticism (2007). © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-85577-8 - The Theology of the Book of Amos John Barton Frontmatter More information © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-85577-8 - The Theology of the Book of Amos John Barton Frontmatter More information Old Testament Theology General Editors Brent A. -
Jason Byassee, Vancouver School of Theology Th 6/780 Contemporary Trinitarian Thought Fall 2021, Tuesday Mornings 9 AM-12
Jason Byassee, Vancouver School of Theology Th 6/780 Contemporary Trinitarian Thought Fall 2021, Tuesday mornings 9 AM-12. The 20th century saw a remarkable revival of a doctrine once considered dead and deadly: the doctrine of the Trinity. This revival was kicked off by Karl Barth and continues to this day as theologians produce work of remarkable creativity and practitioners do likewise. This course will focus on the doctrine of the Trinity in both contemporary and classical exposition, since the former cannot be understood without the latter. Students will study one classical interpreter, such as Tertullian, Augustine, the Cappadocians, Julian, Karl Barth, Karl Rahner, Sarah Coakley, Sallie McFague (note: classical doesn’t have to mean dead!). You will present your findings on this figure in class. Students will also study a contemporary expositor of the doctrine, such as Richard Rohr, Cynthia Bourgeault, Miroslav Volf, John Zizioulas (like the first list this one could expand infinitely). These folks do something unique with the doctrine—trying to emphasize how it shapes our view of humanity, society, spirituality, politics, gender, or nearly any other created thing of your choice. We will also each read the material for class which reflects both classical and contemporary approaches. Students will take turns leading off discussion for the day. Students will conclude the course with an appropriate project to demonstrate what they have learned—an academic paper perhaps of some 15 or so pages, a series of sermons, a catechetical exercise, plans for a political gathering—the possibilities are nearly endless. Please clear your plans with the instructor first. -

Liberation Theology: Second Edition Edited by Christopher Rowland Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-68893-2 - The Cambridge Companion to: Liberation Theology: Second Edition Edited by Christopher Rowland Frontmatter More information THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO LIBERATION THEOLOGY Liberation theology is widely referred to in discussions of politics and religion but not always adequately understood. The new edition of this Companion brings the story of the movement’s continuing importance and impact up to date. Additional essays, which complement those in the original edition, expand upon the issues by dealing with gender and sexuality and the important matter of epistemology. In the light of a more conservative ethos in Roman Catholicism, and in theology generally, liberation theology is often said to have been an intellectural movement tied to a particular period of ecumenical and political theology. These essays indicate its continuing importance in different contexts and enable readers to locate its distinctive intellectual ethos within the evolving contextual and cultural concerns of theology and religious studies. This book will be of interest to students of theology as well as to sociologists, political theorists and historians. CHRISTOPHER ROWLAND is Dean Ireland’s Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford.

On the Triune God and the Christian Moral Life
Scriptura 79 (2002), pp. 93-103 THE GIFT OF PARTICIPATION: ON THE TRIUNE GOD AND THE CHRISTIAN MORAL LIFE Robert Vosloo University of the Western Cape Abstract This paper argues for an affirmation as well as a qualification of a relational understanding of the Trinity through the notion of participation. This suggests that the “analogy” between the Trinity and the Christian moral life is not merely about correspondence that requires imitation, or about the funding of the moral imagination with metaphors, images and stories, but about participation in the Triune life. This claim is developed mainly in conversation with two recent studies in trinitarian theology, namely These Three Are One by David Cunningham and Participating in God by Paul Fiddes. The paper also argues that participation in the Triune life is a participation through the Spirit. Without such a pneumatological focus – without the gift of the Spirit – the moral life is robbed of the resources that enable a life of freedom, responsibility, generous hospitality and joy. Participation is, however, not a vague “spiritual” notion, because the participation in the Triune life through the Spirit is a participation in Christ. This participation is, as suggested by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a participation in reality. It is a participation in life. 1. The promise of trinitarian theology for rethinking the Christian moral life There has been a remarkable renaissance or revival in trinitarian studies over the last few decades. It is not the intention in this paper to trace the genesis of this development or to highlight possible reasons for this revival, but rather to call attention to the promise and problems of relating the doctrine of the Trinity to the Christian moral life. -
The Pacific Journal
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ZENODO Pacific Journal of Baptist Research 2 EDITORIAL ANDY GOODLIFF Belle Vue Baptist Church Southend-on-Sea, England It is a privilege to be asked to write this brief editorial that seeks to highlight that this edition of the journal honours the contribution of Professor Paul Fiddes to Baptist life and theology. Three articles serve to engage with important areas of Professor Fiddes’ theology. Frank Rees offers a response to Fiddes’ (relatively) early work on atonement, Past Event and Present Salvation. Chris Tilling puts Fiddes’ work on the doctrine of the Trinity into conversation with the recent work of Wesley Hill on (the apostle) Paul and the Trinity. Finally, Andrew Picard picks up Fiddes’ work on covenant in the context of Baptists in Aotearoa New Zealand. If you visit Regent’s Park College in Oxford at the moment you will find down one corridor a set of photographs taken of the college faculty and students from the early 1970s up to the present day. Apart from noticing the growth in the size of the student body in the last forty years, the other thing you will see in every photo, save one, is Paul Fiddes.1 Here is an opportunity to see Paul age before your eyes (!), as through the years he has moved from being a Research Fellow, a Tutor, the Principal to his current role as Research Professor. It is a visual reminder that Paul has been at the heart of the life of Regent’s Park College from 1972. -

Sharing the Faith at the Boundaries of Unity
CENTRE FOR BAPTIST HISTORY AND HERITAGE STUDIES VOLUME 12 Sharing the Faith at the Boundaries of Unity Further Conversations between Anglicans and Baptists Paul S. Fiddes (Editor) Sharing the Faith at the Boundaries of Unity This book is quite unlike other reports of ecumenical conversations. In its conversational form it aims to give the reader a flavour of the cut and thrust of friendly debate, on the key theme of sharing the Christian faith today. How do we know what the faith is? How do we receive and grow in the faith? How do we celebrate the faith in worship? How do we share the faith beyond the walls of the church? The conversations reported in this book, seeking to answer these questions, follow up the report published ten years ago under the title Pushing at the Boundaries of Unity, which was widely recognized to have broken fresh ground in ecumenical dialogue. Once again conversation-partners commissioned by the Church of England and the Baptist Union of Great Britain produce a report which enables readers to stand on the borders of unity between Christian churches, as well as on the borders between the church and society around. Its purpose is to draw in readers themselves to share the conversation. “Throughout these conversation we accepted one another as Christians, we accepted each other’s churches as churches, we acknowledged (and rejoiced in) our unity as believers in Christ. We didn’t look for structural solutions to the patterns, traditions and beliefs that separate us. We sought to learn from each other, and to discover to what extent we could worship and witness together. -
