Te Asbury Journal 72/1: 6-7 © 2017 Asbury Teological Seminary DOI: 10.7252/Journal.01.2017S.01 From the Editor As the theological world at Asbury Theological Seminary continues to move and spin in odd unplanned trajectories, so this issue of The Asbury Journal has kind of landed in an odd eclectic mix of subjects. Sometimes themed issues are well planned and come off like clockwork, and other times… well, things fall apart and you are left with an interesting assortment of articles that refect the newest trends in mission and theology, but seem to be going off in all directions. Nathan Crawford opens this issue looking at understanding Augustine’s theology of preaching in the light of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, aiming to open up preaching to the importance of improvisation, while at the same time keeping scripture central. Samuel Law sends us on a creative dance as he seeks to understand traditional Chinese spirituality in Confucianism and Daoism and its affects on forming the Chinese Christian Church. Confucianism seemed to win the ideological dance, and he wonders if Wesleyan theology might not be the perfect dialogical partner to bring Chinese Christian Theology back into spiritual harmony. David J. Fuller critiques the current views of creation within Old Testament Theology, in order to clarify where new avenues of research need to be focused. Kelly Godoy de Danielson and Robert Danielson examine the issue of contextualized music and hymnody within the Latin American Church, and seek to offer recent music by the Pentecostal musician, Juan Luis Guerra, as an example of how the Latin American Church can revive its musical roots while still remaining true to its theological views. Samuel Lee seeks to understand how Business as Mission can measure its effectiveness, without being held hostage to traditional business metrics as the only or even primary measure of success. Finally, Shawn P. Behan examines Lesslie Newbigin’s critical theory of the congregation as a hermeneutic of the Gospel, which has played an important role in the Missional Church Movement, but often been inadequately understood. The From the Archives essay this issue looks back to the relationship between E. Stanley Jones, one of the great heroes of the faith in the last century, and Miss Nellie Logan, a quiet unknown prayer warrior, who was his frst grade teacher, and a key part of his conversion story. Through letters for most of her life, the two of them corresponded about issues of theology, politics, and Jones’ missionary adventures. It is a beautiful story of one of the people we often never Danielson: From the Editor 7 hear from, those quiet servants of God who pray for the Kingdom of God and work in their quiet ways, so that God might use someone else to become a spiritual giant. This is a lesson we often need to be reminded of. For everyone of the E. S. Jones’ or Billy Graham’s or Billy Sunday’s in this world, there is an army of Nellie Logan’s that support and sustain their ministries. Creative energy and theology is alive and well in The Asbury Journal for this issue, as we seek to go global and to go deep theologically in our research and writing. The Wesleyan-Holiness heritage continues to speak to Church History, Theology, Contextualized Theology, Missions and Music. It might be diffcult to tie this eclectic group of subjects together, but underneath them all is a passion for furthering the Kingdom of God and seeing the Church grow and prosper around the world! Robert Danielson Ph.D. Te Asbury Journal 72/1: 8-19 © 2017 Asbury Teological Seminary DOI: 10.7252/Journal.01.2017S.02 Nathan Crawford Improvising with the Quadrilateral: An Augustinian Approach to Recovering the Use of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral in the Theology of Preaching Abstract This article explores the improvisational nature of preaching through a closer examination of Augustine’s view of the theology of preaching in De Doctrina Christiana, and an exploration of the Wesleyan framework, known as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral as an additional, but key supplement to developing a theology of preaching which maintains the centrality of scripture, but permits the important addition of improvisation to meet the needs of changing times and congregations. Keywords: Augustine, Wesleyan Quadrilateral, preaching, improvisation, theology Nathan Crawford is an adjunct ExL Professor of Preaching at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. 8 Crawford : Improvising with the Quadrilateral 9 Introduction The question of what the preacher does should not be that complicated. For most, the preacher simply stands in front of a congregation and gives a message from God. However, this is overly simplistic. It does not take into account the reality of what the preacher actually does in order to preach a sermon, the prolegomena necessary to be one that can effectively communicate the Word of God. In this paper, I want to explore what the preacher ultimately does in order to stand up and preach the Word of God. My thesis is that the preacher is ultimately an improviser. Now, this may sound counter-intuitive as improvisation is usually thought of as an act that is purely spontaneous and only happens in a moment: the exact opposite of the kind of preparation that a preacher does. However, recent research on improvisation in music suggests that ultimately the improviser is one with a solid base of knowledge of a multitude of styles, keys, chords, etc. inherent to music. With this knowledge base, and through interaction with other traditions, experiences, and audiences, the musician makes music. The musician ultimately responds to the call that has been placed upon him or her. And it is this idea of improvisation that I think is ultimately at work in the process of preaching. In order to elucidate this thesis, I make two arguments. First, I examine the theology of preaching at work in Augustine’s De Doctrina Christiana.

    Introduction To Flamenco: Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment by "Flamenco Chuck" Keyser P.O. Box 1292 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 [email protected] http://users.aol.com/BuleriaChk/private/flamenco.html © Charles H. Keyser, Jr. 1993 (Painting by Rowan Hughes) Flamenco Philosophy IA My own view of Flamenco is that it is an artistic expression of an intense awareness of the existential human condition. It is an effort to come to terms with the concept that we are all "strangers and afraid, in a world we never made"; that there is probably no higher being, and that even if there is he/she (or it) is irrelevant to the human condition in the final analysis. The truth in Flamenco is that life must be lived and death must be faced on an individual basis; that it is the fundamental responsibility of each man and woman to come to terms with their own alienation with courage, dignity and humor, and to support others in their efforts. It is an excruciatingly honest art form. For flamencos it is this ever-present consciousness of death that gives life itself its meaning; not only as in the tragedy of a child's death from hunger in a far-off land or a senseless drive-by shooting in a big city, but even more fundamentally in death as a consequence of life itself, and the value that must be placed on life at each moment and on each human being at each point in their journey through it. And it is the intensity of this awareness that gave the Gypsy artists their power of expression.

  • Immigrant Musicians on the New York Jazz Scene by Ofer Gazit A
    Sounds Like Home: Immigrant Musicians on the New York Jazz Scene By Ofer Gazit A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Benjamin Brinner, Chair Professor Jocelyne Guilbault Professor George Lewis Professor Scott Saul Summer 2016 Abstract Sounds Like Home: Immigrant Musicians On the New York Jazz Scene By Ofer Gazit Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Benjamin Brinner, Chair At a time of mass migration and growing xenophobia, what can we learn about the reception, incorporation, and alienation of immigrants in American society from listening to the ways they perform jazz, the ‘national music’ of their new host country? Ethnographies of contemporary migrations emphasize the palpable presence of national borders and social boundaries in the everyday life of immigrants. Ethnomusicological literature on migrant and border musics has focused primarily on the role of music in evoking a sense of home and expressing group identity and solidarity in the face of assimilation. In jazz scholarship, the articulation and crossing of genre boundaries has been tied to jazz as a symbol of national cultural identity, both in the U.S and in jazz scenes around the world. While these works cover important aspects of the relationship between nationalism, immigration and music, the role of jazz in facilitating the crossing of national borders and blurring social boundaries between immigrant and native-born musicians in the U.S. has received relatively little attention to date.

  • THE UNKNOWN EROS by Coventry Patmore
    THE UNKNOWN EROS by Coventry Patmore. PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION. To this edition of "The Unknown Eros" are added all the other poems I have written, in what I venture--because it has no other name--to call "catalectic verse." Nearly all English metres owe their existence as metres to "catalexis," or pause, for the time of one or more feet, and, as a rule, the position and amount of catalexis are fixed. But the verse in which this volume is written is catalectic par excellence, employing the pause (as it does the rhyme) with freedom only limited by the exigencies of poetic passion. From the time of Drummond of Hawthornden to our own, some of the noblest flights of English poetry have been taken on the wings of this verse; but with ordinary readers it has been more or less discredited by the far greater number of abortive efforts, on the part sometimes of considerable poets, to adapt it to purposes with which it has no expressional correspondence; or to vary it by rhythmical movements which are destructive of its character. Some persons, unlearned in the subject of metre, have objected to this kind of verse that it is "lawless." But it has its laws as truly as any other. In its highest order, the lyric or "ode," it is a tetrameter, the line having the time of eight iambics. When it descends to narrative, or the expression of a less-exalted strain of thought, it becomes a trimeter, having the time of six iambics, or even a dimeter, with the time of four; and it is allowable to vary the tetrameter "ode" by the occasional introduction of passages in either or both of these inferior measures, but not, I think, by the use of any other.

  • LARRY NORMAN, JESUS ROCK, and an INTERVIEW with GREGORY ALAN THORNBURY Rupert Loydell Falmouth Univ
    WEIRD RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS: LARRY NORMAN, JESUS ROCK, AND AN INTERVIEW WITH GREGORY ALAN THORNBURY Rupert Loydell Falmouth University Keywords: Christianity, Larry Norman, Jesus Rock, CCM, Religion 'Christian rock is a genre that exists to edify and make money off evangelical Christians. [...] A Christian band , on the other hand is just a band that has more than one Christian in it.' – John Jeremiah Sullivan (2012: 17-18) Although The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Popular Music (Stewart and Abraham 2017) contains chapters such as Michael J. Gilmour's 'The Bible and Popular Music' (67-76) and Ibrahim Abraham and Francis Stewarts' 'Punk and Hardcore' (241- 250), there remains little informed academic consideration of the Christian music genre, especially punk and post-punk. John J. Thompson's Raised by Wolves (2000) and Mark Joseph's The Rock & Roll Rebellion (1999) offer insider histories, whilst Andrew Beaujon's Body Piercing Saved My Life (2006) is an hilarious, sceptical exploration of 'the phenomenon of Christian rock', focussed mostly on the early 2000s. Gilmour 's Call Me the Seeker: Listening to Religion in Popular Music (2005) is interested more in religious sources and themes; the nearest it gets to post-punk is Anna Kessler's consideration of Nick Cave (79-94) and J.R.C. Cousland's discussion of 'God, the Bad, and the Ugly' in the work of Nick Cave and Polly Harvey (129-157). Better, is Jay R Howard & John M. Streck's Apostle of Rock (1999), which takes a more sociological approach to what it calls 'The Splintered World of Contemporary Christian Music' and considers the tensions between ideas of ministry, entertainment, art and business for Christian musicians.
