  • The Word Made Flesh
    1 The Word Made Flesh et’s begin our study of the Gospel of John with what is called the LPrologue, one of the loftiest and most inspiring passages in the New Testament. It lays out the major premise of the Gospel, so it’s a good way to start our exploration. In spite of its weight and importance, the Prologue is actually quite short, consisting of just the first eighteen verses of John. However, because of their weight and importance, we could easily write an entire book just on these verses. Most scholars believe that portions of these first eighteen verses were an early Christian hymn influenced by Greek and Jewish philosophical ideas. John incorporated the hymn, reworking it a bit, because it captured profound ideas about who Jesus is and the meaning of his life. Before delving into the meat of this section, I want to point out what you no doubt have already noticed, that the Gospel begins 15 Copyright © 2015 by Abingdon Press.

Genesis 1:1 starts, “In the beginning. ” John’s use of these words is no accident. He is pointing back to the creation story. For now, I merely want you to notice the reference, and I’ll say more about it at various points throughout the book. The premise of the entire Gospel, so beautifully introduced in the Prologue, is that Jesus embodies God’s Word.

  • Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi: the Doctrine of the Theotokos As a Liturgical Creed in the Coptic Orthodox Church
    Journal of Coptic Studies 14 (2012) 47–62 doi: 10.2143/JCS.14.0.2184687 LEX ORANDI, LEX CREDENDI: THE DOCTRINE OF THE THEOTOKOS AS A LITURGICAL CREED IN THE COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH BY BISHOY DAWOOD 1. Introduction In the Surah entitled “The Table Spread” in the Quran, Mohammed, the prophet of Islam, proclaimed a long revelation from God, and in a part that spoke of the role of Mary and teachings of Jesus, the following was mentioned: “And behold! Allah will say: ‘O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say to men, ‘worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah’?’” (Sura 5:116).1 It is of note here that not only the strict mono- theistic religion of Islam objected to the Christian worshipping of Jesus as God, but it was commonly believed that Christians also worshipped his mother, Mary, as a goddess. This may have been the result of a mis- understanding of the term Theotokos, literally meaning “God-bearer”, but also means “Mother of God”, which was attributed to Mary by the Christians, who used the phrase Theotokos in their liturgical worship. Likewise, in Protestant theology, there was a reaction to the excessive adoration of the Virgin Mary in the non-liturgical devotions of the churches of the Latin West, which was termed “Mariolatry.” However, as Jaroslav Pelikan noted, the Eastern churches commemorated and cel- ebrated Mary as the Theotokos in their liturgical worship and hymnology.2 The place of the Theotokos in the liturgical worship of the Eastern Chris- tian churches does not only show the spiritual relation between the Virgin Mother and the people who commemorate her, but it is primarily a creedal affirmation of the Christology of the believers praying those hymns addressed to the Theotokos.

Four reasons have mainly weighed with me. The first is, that my experience as an examiner of candidates for Holy Orders has convinced me that many of them obtain their knowledge of the first principles of the religion which they propose to teach, in a very unsatisfactory and haphazard way. This is partly due to the absence, at least until lately, of satisfactory text books. Few candidates attempt to read Pearson's great standard work on the subject, and most of those who have attempted it find him very abstruse and difficult to follow. Moreover, it must be admitted that in a good many respects, in spite of the still inestimable value of the work, Pearson's manner and matter are out of date.

Maxwell: The Nicene Creed The Nicene Creed in the Church David R. Maxwell Pastors often introduce the recitation of the Nicene Creed with the phrase, “Let us confess our Christian faith in the words of the Nicene Creed.” But what do we mean when we identify the content of the faith with the words of the creed? And how does that summary of the faith actually function in the church? After all, if we are to be creedal Christians in any meaningful sense, we would like to see the creed play a more profound role in the church than merely as a text to be recited. But, from the position of one sitting in the pew, it is not always clear what that role would be. Therefore, I will identify and explore three of the ways the creed has functioned and still functions in the church.

  • The Nicene Creed
    THE NICENE CREED [TEXT] The Nicene Creed In the first three centuries, the church found itself in a hostile environment. On the one hand, it grappled with the challenge of relating the language of the gospel, developed in a Hebraic and Jewish-Christian context, to a Graeco-Roman world. On the other hand, it was threatened not only by persecution, but also by ideas that were in conflict with the biblical witness. In A.D. 312, Constantine won control of the Roman Empire in the battle of Milvian Bridge. Attributing his victory to the intervention of Jesus Christ, he elevated Christianity to favored status in the empire. “One God, one Lord, one faith, one church, one empire, one emperor” became his motto. The new emperor soon discovered that “one faith and one church” were fractured by theological disputes, especially conflicting understandings of the nature of Christ, long a point of controversy. Arius, a priest of the church in Alexandria, asserted that the divine Christ, the Word through whom all things have their existence, was created by God before the beginning of time. Therefore, the divinity of Christ was similar to the divinity of God, but not of the same essence. Arius was opposed by the bishop, Alexander, together with his associate and successor Athanasius. They affirmed that the divinity of Christ, the Son, is of the same substance as the divinity of God, the Father. To hold otherwise, they said, was to open the possibility of polytheism, and to imply that knowledge of God in Christ was not final knowledge of God.

  • The Apostles' Creed
    THE APOSTLES' CREED “I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.” † ϯ Commentary: Today the similarities between major Christian denominations far outweigh the differences. Except for the differences in style of worship and a particular emphasis on one “doctrine” or another, all Christians share a common belief. Our basis for agreement goes back to the time of the early church when leaders discussed, debated and settled a number of theological issues. The result is the famous “Apostles’ Creed.” Whether Presbyterian or Baptist, Congregational or Lutheran, United Methodist or Roman Catholic, virtually all Christians agree on the fundamentals of Christian belief in this Statement of Faith. Notes: “holy catholic Church.” One point that constantly causes difficulty is the phrase “holy catholic Church.” Note that the “c” in catholic is lower case, not capitalized. This is NOT the Roman Catholic Church. The word “catholic” means “universal.” We affirm a basic unity in one “universal” church made up of many particular denominations.

  • 1 Defining and Locating Evangelicalism TIMOTHY LARSEN
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-60974-6 - The Cambridge Companion to Evangelical Theology Edited by Timothy Larsen and Daniel J. Treier Excerpt More information 1 Defining and locating evangelicalism TIMOTHY LARSEN An evangelical is: 1. an orthodox Protestant 2. who stands in the tradition of the global Christian networks arising from the eighteenth-century revival movements associated with John Wesley and George Whitefield; 3. who has a preeminent place for the Bible in her or his Christian life as the divinely inspired, final authority in matters of faith and practice; 4. who stresses reconciliation with God through the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross; 5. and who stresses the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of an individual to bring about conversion and an ongoing life of fellowship with God and service to God and others, including the duty of all believers to participate in the task of proclaiming the gospel to all people. This definition has been specifically devised for this volume. As I have tried it out on colleagues, they have jokingly referred to it as ‘‘the Larsen Pentagon,’’ which is a compliment to the standard definition of evangelical- ism, the Bebbington Quadrilateral. The British historian, David Bebbington, in his seminal study, Evangelicalism in Modern Britain: A History from the 1730stothe1980s (1989), defined evangelicalism by identifying its four distin- guishing marks: conversionism, activism, biblicism, and crucicentrism – that is, evangelicals emphasize conversion experiences; an active laity sharing the gospel and engaged in good works; the Bible; and salvation through the work 1 of Christ on the cross.

  • WEEK 2 the Apostle's Creed
    WEEK 2 The Apostle’s Creed: Embracing Creedal Faith in the Midst of Pluralism The Catechetical lectures are given to those who are to be enlightened in baptism or confirmation and also to believers who are already baptized for edification. 1. What is a Creed? A creed is a statement of faith or belief from the Latin word ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ credo, meaning “I believe.” Latin root= ‘to place one’s heart in’; ‘to trust with the ​ heart.’ 2. Why does the Church use Creeds? a. Distinction. The first object of the earliest Christian creeds was to ​ distinguish the Church from the world, from Jews and heathen, afterwards orthodoxy from heresy, and finally denomination from denomination.5 b. Catechism. To instruct converts and baptized disciples as well. ​ c. Safeguard. The Church’s creeds correct ancient and modern heresies, ​ declaring and safeguarding God’s truth in Holy Scripture about Himself, ourselves, and the whole creation (1 Ths 2; 2 Tim 2; Jude 3). The faith is something to be jealously guarded, something that people might fall away to their spiritual peril.6 3. The Importance of Creeds. a. Creeds are necessary for at least 5 reasons: i. Creeds are summaries of what the apostles taught and what the ​ ​ Bible teaches. The Creeds, therefore, are both biblical and ​ ​ apostolic. ​ ii. Creeds proclaim the essentials of the faith. ​ ​ 1. The Vincentian Canon (AD445), written by St Vincent of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Lérins, lays out the test of catholicity: that “which has been ​ believed everywhere, at all times, and by all.” iii. Because Christians hold the essentials of the faith in the Creeds in common, Creeds also create Christian unity.

  • The Great and Holy Synod and Why It Is Important for Orthodoxy
    The Great and Holy Synod And Why It is Important for Orthodoxy Background Information—The Ecumenical Councils In the year 325, the Emperor Constantine convened the First Ecumenical Council in Nicea. Why? To put order where there was chaos. In the first three centuries of Christianity, the church was underground and persecuted. When Christianity became the legal religion of the Roman Empire in the early 4th century, as the churches of the various cities began communicating openly, there was disagreement, even scandal and heresy, because there was not agreement on basic tenets of the faith. The First Ecumenical Council gathered all the bishops of all the churches together, and after deliberation and prayer, the result of this Council was the Nicene Creed (our confession of faith) and the Canon of Scripture. Between 325 and 787, seven such Councils were held, which have given us the backbone of our Orthodox theology and praxis. For a Council to be truly “Ecumenical”, it means that all the churches are involved. Following the Great Schism in 1054, and now the further fracturing of Christianity into thousands of denominations, it is not possible to have a Council that is truly “Ecumenical.” The Autocephalous Churches In the Ancient Church, there were five “Patriarchates”—Rome, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria. It is not the Orthodox “tradition” to have one “pope” who speaks infallibly for the whole church. Rather, our system of governance is “collegial” or “synodical.” There were, in the beginning, five autocephalous, or self- governing churches, each being led by a “Patriarch.” The Patriarch of Constantinople is recognized as the “Ecumenical Patriarch.” While he does not have administrative authority over the “Autocephalous” Churches, when all the churches gather together, he sits as the “first among equals.” The Seven Ecumenical Councils, or Synods, were convened under the “synodical” system that was the “tradition” among the ancient Patriarchates.
