  • A Reponse to Andrew Purves' Paper
    A Reponse to Andrew Purves’ Paper­­ “‘I Yet Not I But Christ:’ Galatians 2:20 and the Christian Life in the Theology of T. F. Torrance” for the Thomas F. Torrance Fellowship Annual Meeting November 18, 2005 by the Rev. Dr. Jeannine Michele Graham I wish to thank Dr. Andrew Purves for a well­thought­out, clearly articulated, faithful rendering of such a fundamental Torrancian concept as the vicarious humanity of Christ, particularly as it finds expression in the theological implications which underlie Galatians 2:20. This is actually the second version of the remarks I originally wrote to be presented here. I suppose it might have been easier to respond to a paper with which I have strident disagreements. But inasmuch as I resonate so strongly with the theological insights of both Thomas and James Torrance, having had the privilege of studying with James in my postgraduate years, I found myself tending to reiterate what you had already said, though lacking your admirable conciseness. Thus, you have presented me with a delightful problem. Aside from my inclination to want to emit an “Amen! Preach it, brother,” I trust you would appreciate more than a hearty hurrah. So I have tried to consult my own life and teaching experiences to identify aspects of this subject which might invite further clarification or development, especially points which either my students or lay people in general have struggled to grasp as they have had occasion to become acquainted with this paradigm of the vicarious humanity of Christ. As I was engaged in rethinking what I might say here, I have at the same time been challenged to think theologically in the midst of a very disturbing event that occurred within the particular existential context of my life in Spokane, WA.

The dilemma is stated well by Ivan in Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov. In his argument with his saintly brother Alyosha, Ivan makes it clear that he is all too aware of the absurdity of believing in the providence of God in a world of needless suffering, especially the suffering of children. So, in disgust, he returns the ticket of “eternal harmony” to God. 2. Do we dare keep the ticket ourselves today? How can we do that in all honesty? My proposal, building upon Karl Barth’s argument that providence should proceed from Christology, considers the biblical emphasis of what T.

  • MC 601K—Reformed Ecclesiology and Polity Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Instructor: Preston Graham Jr
    MC 601K—Reformed Ecclesiology and Polity Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Instructor: Preston Graham Jr. Fall Semester 2007 (Fridays: 1:15-4:15) Course Description: No extent of space interferes with the boundless energy of the Spirit, which transfuses life into us from the flesh of Christ. John Calvin, Corpus Reformatorum A lofty conception of the sacramental nature of the church indeed! And yet it formed the basis for John Calvin’s conception of the church as the New Covenant temple of God, so much so that He would later declare, Beyond the pale of the Church, no forgiveness of sins, no salvation, can be hoped for... and hence the abandonment of the Church is always fatal? John Calvin, Institutes (4.1.4) This course will seek to construct an ecclesial and pastoral theology in conversation with the historic Reformed tradition together with its practical relevance to contemporary ministry. Divided into two parts, ecclesial and pastoral theology respectively, both topics will be explored beginning with a redemptive-historical analysis moving to a confessional analysis and then finally to a contemporary analysis. The theological premise reflected throughout the course concerns the sacramental nature of the gospel, or the mediated presence of God unto salvation, as this then is reflected in a “temple” theology of the church and a “priestly” theology of the pastorate, albeit reflected in the classic reformed tradition. Our theological construction will result in both a “High gospel” (gospel centered and missional) and a “High Church” (confessional, sacramental and communal) spirituality relevant to today’s emergent ministry. Course Structure and Requirements: Structure: The course will be set up as a readings course coupled with classroom discussions and presentations.

  • We Do Theology Because We Are Baptised Installation Address By
    WE DO THEOLOGY BECAUSE WE ARE BAPTISED Installation Address by THE REV. DR. ANDREW PURVES Jean and Nancy Davis Professor of Historical Theology Enclosed is a complimentary copy of the installation address of the Rev. Dr. Andrew Purves, the first occupant of the Jean and Nancy Davis Chair of Historical Theology at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. It has been printed for distribution to a wider audience because of its emphasis on the relation of theology to the church. Professor Purves asserts, “Theology is an expression of our baptismal identity in and of our belonging to God,…a work not just of the theologian but of the church as an historical theological community.” He continues by expounding on the implications of this affirmation for the faith, worship, and ministry of the church. We hope that you will find his address helpful as you pursue your Christian walk. WE DO THEOLOGY BECAUSE WE ARE BAPTISED Andrew Purves r. Chairman and members of the Board of Directors, Mr. President, Mr. Dean and faculty colleagues, members of the Seminary Madministration, students and guests, and members of my family, thank you for being here. And less formally, thank you Jack Isherwood and Bill Carl and the Board for installing me as the first Jean and Nancy Davis Professor of Historical Theology at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. This is now the fifth appointment I have had in my 31 years on this faculty. I began as the assistant professor of pastoral theology and spirituality. In due course I became the associate professor of pastoral theology, being deemed by all that I was no longer spiritual, as that word was dropped from my title.
