THE incomparable delicacy of this letter of Paul’s has often been the theme of eulogium. I do not know that anywhere else in literature one can find such a gem, so admirably adapted for the purpose in hand. But beyond the wonderful tenderness and ingenuity born of right feeling and inbred courtesy which mark the letter, there is another point of view from which I have been in the habit of looking at it, as if it were a kind of parable of the way in which our Master pleads with us to do the things that He desires. The motive and principles of practical Christianity are all reducible to one — imitation of Jesus Christ. And therefore it is not fanciful if here we see, shining through the demeanour and conduct of the Apostle, some hint of the manner of the Master. I venture to take these words as spoken to each Christian soul by a higher and greater voice than Paul’s. ‘I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto Me even thine own self besides.’ I. The first thing upon which I touch is our transcendent debt. The Christian teacher may say to the soul which by his ministrations has been brought back to God and to peace in a very real sense: Thou owest thyself to me. And the bond which knits any of us, dear brethren, of whom that is true to one another, is one the tenderness of which cannot be overestimated. I hope I am speaking to some hearts to whom my words come with a power greater than their intrinsic force deserves, because this sacredest of all human ties has, by God’s mercy, been established between us. But I pass from that altogether to the consideration of the

  • Towards a Truly Catholic and a Truly Asian Church: an Asian Wayfaring Theology of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) 1970-2012
    Department of Systematic Theology University of Helsinki Helsinki Towards a Truly Catholic and a Truly Asian Church: An Asian Wayfaring Theology of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) 1970-2012 Jukka Helle Academic dissertation to be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Helsinki in Auditorium XII, on the 23rd of May 2018 at 12 o’clock. FABC Ruby Jubilee Prayer (2012) God ever faithful, we praise you for your abiding presence in our pilgrimage in this land of Asia, hallowed by the life and mission of your Son Jesus Christ. We thank you for the mysterious presence of your Spirit in the depth and breadth of the spiritual quest of our people, in their enduring cultures and values, and in the struggles of the poor. We raise our hearts in gratitude for the gift of the Church in Asia, the little flock you tend with provident care in her mission of proclaiming your Gift, Jesus Christ the Giver of Life. Father, we thank you for the Federation of the Asian Bishops’ Conferences, an instrument of communion you have granted us for the past forty years. Your Spirit accompanied us in our common search for the paths of mission in our continent. As we celebrate your blessing, renew your Church in Asia with a fresh outpouring of your Spirit. Make us grow in greater unity; rekindle the fire of your Spirit to be credible bearers of the Good News of Jesus. Empower us as we “go” on the roads of Asia, that in inter-religious dialogue and cultural harmony, in commitment to the poor and the excluded, we may courageously tell the story of Jesus.

  • Julian, God, and the Art of Storytelling
    Godelinde Gertrude Perk Umeå Studies in Language and Literature 32 Department of Language Studies Umeå University, Sweden Celebrated for her compassionate theology and subtle, subversive imagery, Julian of Norwich (c. 1343 – c. 1416), the earliest known woman writer in the English language, is also an accomplished storyteller. This study explores and compares the narrative strategies found in her two accounts of her visionary experience, A Vision Showed to a Devout Woman and A Revelation of Love. Reading these two non-fiction texts as narratives, this analysis and the Art Julian, God, of Storytelling 2016 Umeå University, brings Julian’s stories into dialogue with the narratives of her own time, Middle English literary theory, modern narratology, and the texts’ attention to their own telling. This reveals that Revelation includes, expands and transforms the plot, point of view, and characterization of Vision, while Revelation simultaneously implo- des these narrative structures to hint at greater, divine structures. By creating a poetics of developing and enveloping in Revelation, Julian strategically depicts herself, God and the reader as charac- ters in each other’s narratives and as participating in each other’s storytelling: she authorizes her own story by making it God’s and the reader’s as well.

  • I Abstract the MISSIONAL THEOLOGY AND
    Abstract THE MISSIONAL THEOLOGY AND PRACTICE OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST DEMAND THAT GOD’S TRANSFIGURED PEOPLE FULFILL THE MISSIO DEI. MICHAEL GEORGE ELLIOTT Thesis under the direction of Professors Robert Hughes III and J. Neil Alexander The church’s purpose has always been to carry out God’s mission (the missio Dei) in the world, proclaiming, and working for the building up of the kingdom of God. As Robert Linthicum points out in his book Building a People of Power: Equipping Churches to Transform Their Communities , Jesus sought to initiate, in humanity, the reign or kingdom of God, God’s shalom ––God’s vision for human society. This kingdom of God is to be brought about by God’s people, seeking peacefully but shrewdly to re-form a society on the Jubilee principles of a reversal of fortune; where wealth is equitably distributed, poverty is eliminated, all politics are just, and all are reconciled to each other because all are reconciled with God (2 Cor. 5:19-20). As such, God’s people should personify and demonstrate by their lifestyle and behavior, their transfigured lives through their worship of and commitment to God. Our churches need to learn from Jesus, how he demonstrated the principles of the kingdom of God which he proclaimed and hence how tackled the power structures of his day that threatened the manifestation of that kingdom. When this is meaningfully and practically done by our congregations, then the proclamation of the gospel will find relevance in the lives of those outside of the church (and also for many within it).

    Southern Baptist ~on*ion A .M.s l'hur=iday, V*OTfice of Press Reprc!entative June 3, 1954 Mr. Albert McC lellan St. Louis, Missouri FOREIGN NISSION ADDRESS BY: H, W. Schweinsberg H . W. Schweinsberg is a Southern Baptist Foreign missionary to Colombia. It was Dr. Maddry who had the inspired vision of establishing a chain of Baptist Missions in all the republics of South America. As Dr. Everett Gill, Jr. came into his ministry he fell under the spell and inspiration of this challenging vision, Today this dream has become tnore than a reality, for not only is South America encircled by: a chain of Baptist Missions but this circle has been linked up through Central America and Mexico to our work here in the United States. The greatest tribute that can be presented to the sacred memory of our beloved late secretary Dr. Everett Gill, Jr., is the record of advance in Latin America from the year 1941, when he was appointed by the Foreign Mission Board to his passing away on April 25, 1954. In 1941 Southern Baptists had 169 missionaries working in .Latin America-- today there are 385. In 1941, Southern Baptis ts had es tabliahed work in six nations in wia area--today thirteen nations are feeling the impact of our New Testament message. In 1941, z?.c~c werk 70,000 members in 600 Baptist churches--today there are 150,000 members in1,500 churches. Up until Baptists began work in Colombia in 1941 no new field had been, entered during a period of 23 years.
