  • How Can We Know the Way?
    How Can We Know the Way? Sermon for the Fifth Sunday of Easter The Ninth Sunday of Our Pandemic Crisis May 10, 2020 Bethany Congregational Church, United Church of Christ Foxborough, Massachusetts Rev. Bruce A. Greer, Interim Pastor Text: John 14:5 “Thomas said to [Jesus]: ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’” I. When Thomas asked Jesus “How can we know the way?” he wasn’t asking for directions. No Google Map or GPS device could answer his question. We ask questions like this when we are disoriented, when our resources are uncertain and the outcome is unknown. A question like this cries out for guidance and assurance, not directions from Point A to Point B. Put yourself in the context of the question. Jesus gathered his disciples for what would be their last supper.1 His death was imminent, so he said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be trou- bled. Believe in God, believe also in me.”2 He assured them of God’s presence and guidance on their way forward. He assumed that the disciples already knew this. Throughout John’s Gospel, we find the disciples consistently confused by Jesus, repeatedly miss- ing the point. What did Jesus mean? Where was he going? What will happen to him and to their movement? It was an anxious time filled with tension and concern. You can feel it in Thomas’s question: “Lord we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”3 We’ve all been in situations like this, wondering about the way forward.

  • THE CTU 50TH ANNIVERSARY Bible Land Tours with Fr. Don Senior, CP
    THE CTU 50TH ANNIVERSARY Bible Land Tours with Fr. Don Senior, CP From the very beginning of its 50th year life-span, Catholic Theological Union has had a deep connection with the lands of the Bible through its renowned Bible department. Each year CTU students and faculty have spent a semester abroad studying in Jerusalem and exploring the adjacent biblical sites in Jordan, Egypt, Greece, and Turkey. Beginning in 1988 and continuing every year since, Rev. Donald Senior, CP, professor of New Testament and President Emeritus, has conducted biblical tours designed for board members and friends of CTU. Nearly 800 people have participated in these special tours that include deluxe travel, five-star hotels, opportunities for worship at sacred sites, and expert biblical commentary on archaeological sites that form the historical foundations of our Christian faith. To celebrate its 50th anniversary year (2018–2019) as a premier school of theology, CTU will sponsor three special tours of the biblical lands: The Birth of Christianity: The Holyland: The Land of Egypt Greece and Turkey Israel and Jordan OCTOBER 5 – 20, 2018 FEBRUARY 8 – 18, 2019 JUNE 15 – 28, 2019 fr. donald senior, cp professor of new testament and president emeritus My work has focused on the study and interpretation of the Gospels, the Pauline literature, 1 Peter, and New Testament archaeology.

  • The Argument from Miracles: a Cumulative Case for the Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth
    The Argument from Miracles: A Cumulative Case for the Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth Introduction It is a curiosity of the history of ideas that the argument from miracles is today better known as the object of a famous attack than as a piece of reasoning in its own right. It was not always so. From Paul’s defense before Agrippa to the polemics of the orthodox against the deists at the heart of the Enlightenment, the argument from miracles was central to the discussion of the reasonableness of Christian belief, often supplemented by other considerations but rarely omitted by any responsible writer. But in the contemporary literature on the philosophy of religion it is not at all uncommon to find entire works that mention the positive argument from miracles only in passing or ignore it altogether. Part of the explanation for this dramatic change in emphasis is a shift that has taken place in the conception of philosophy and, in consequence, in the conception of the project of natural theology. What makes an argument distinctively philosophical under the new rubric is that it is substantially a priori, relying at most on facts that are common knowledge. This is not to say that such arguments must be crude. The level of technical sophistication required to work through some contemporary versions of the cosmological and teleological arguments is daunting. But their factual premises are not numerous and are often commonplaces that an educated nonspecialist can readily grasp – that something exists, that the universe had a beginning in time, that life as we know it could flourish only in an environment very much like our own, that some things that are not human artifacts have an appearance of having been designed.

It sailed away to the applause of the 600 pilgrims Chuck had led on this, his thirty-third trip to the Holy Land.

  • Authorship in the Strict Sense of the Term, the Fourth Gospel Is Anonymous
    Dr. Terren L. Dames Week 1 Authorship In the strict sense of the term, the Fourth Gospel is anonymous. No name of its author is given in the text. It was widely accepted through church history that John, one of the sons of a fisherman named Zebedee was the author. Polycarp (ca. A.D. 69 – ca. A.D. 155) spoke of his contact with John. Irenaeus (ca. 130 – ca. 200), the bishop of Lyons, heard Polycarp and testified that “John, the disciple of the Lord, who also had leaned upon His breast, had himself published a Gospel during his residence in Ephesus in Asia” (Against Heresies 3. 1). Polycrates, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and other later fathers support this tradition. Eusebius was specific that Matthew and John of the apostles wrote the two Gospels which bear their specific names (The Ecclesiastical History 3. 24. 3–8).1 Place of Origin Church history and tradition is strong that John came to Ephesus after Paul had founded the church and that he labored in that city for many years (cf. Eusebius The Ecclesiastical History 3. 24. 1) where he wrote the Fourth Gospel. Date Most scholars date the Gospel of John between A.D. 85 and 95. This Gospel has been known in the church as the “Fourth” one, and the early church fathers believed that it was written when John was an old man. Purpose The purpose of the Gospel of John, stated in 20:31, was to record Jesus’ “signs” so that readers would come to believe in Him. John 20:30-31 30.

  • Forum Preparation Reading Thomas S
    Forum Preparation Reading Thomas S. Monson, “Your Jericho Road,” Ensign, Feb 1989, 2 The reading below is an excerpt from a First Presidency Message. The word road is most intriguing. A generation ago movie moguls featured Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Doro- thy Lamour in films entitled The Road to Rio, The Road to Morocco, and The Road to Zanzibar. Earlier yet, Rudyard Kipling immortalized another road when he penned the lines, “On the road to Mandalay.” (Rudyard Kipling’s Verse, Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday and Co., 1946, p. 416.) My thoughts have turned to a road made famous by the parable Jesus told. I speak of the road to Jericho. The Bible enables us to relive the memorable event that made the Jericho Road famous for all time. A certain lawyer stood and tempted the Master, saying, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life? “He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? “And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. “And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. “But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? “And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. “And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

  • Who Was Jesus of Nazareth?
    WHO WAS JESUS OF NAZARETH? Craig L. Blomberg1 Jesus of Nazareth has been the most influential person to walk this earth in human history. To this day, more than two billion people worldwide claim to be his followers, more than the number of adherents to any other religion or worldview. Christianity is responsible for a disproportionately large number of the humanitarian advances in the history of civilization—in education, medicine, law, the fine arts, working for human rights, and even in the natural sciences (based on the belief that God designed the universe in an orderly fashion and left clues for people to learn about it).2 But just who was this individual and how can we glean reliable information about him? A recent work on popular images of Jesus in America alone identifies eight quite different portraits: “enlightened sage,” “sweet savior,” “manly redeemer,” “superstar,” “Mormon elder brother,” “black Moses,” “rabbi,” and “Oriental Christ.”3 Because these depictions contradict each other at various points, they cannot all be equally accurate. Historians must return to the ancient evidence for Jesus and assess its merits. This evidence falls into three main categories: non-Christian, historic Christian, and syncretistic (a hybrid of Christian and non-Christian perspectives). Non-Christian Evidence for Jesus An inordinate number of websites and blogs make the wholly unjustified claim that Jesus never existed. Biblical scholars and historians who have investigated this issue in detail are virtually unanimous today in rejecting this view, regardless of their theological or ideological perspectives. A dozen or more references to Jesus appear in non-Christian Jewish, Greek, and Roman sources in the earliest centuries of the Common Era (i.e., approximately from the birth of Jesus onward, as Christianity and Judaism began to overlap chronologically).
