And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 2Pet1:1-3 The Apostle Peter assured the people in his time that he and the other disciples of Christ were not following some 'cunningly devised fable' when they made known the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but were Eye Witnesses of His majesty and hand-taught by Him. But he knew by prophetic warnings of the past that that many false teachers would soon move in and begin 'merchandising the Gospel to flatter and win the approval of men for personal gain. They would do so with 'feigned words (plastos; moulded forms) designed to create an 'image of reality in your mind contrary to fact and logic. And sadly the 'deceivers and deceived' won't even be aware they have been taken captive in the snare of the devil doing his will, following 'damnable heresies to the ruination of their souls. Paul also warned the Saints that the foundational teachings of the gospel would come under attack by opportunists even in his time, repeating Christ's own words calling them 'savage wolves' who will devour your soul: For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. Acts20:29-31 Unfortunately these and the many other warnings in our New Testament scriptures are ignored (for the most part) by present day pundits who follow a carefully crafted System of error dating back centuries in Professed Christendom that diabolically mixes truth with error 'molding' an image of perfection in the minds of the hearers that captivates them in a devilish snare, in which today, when they hear the unadulterated truth they call it heresy. It is unraveling these fallacies that our study is about, but it’s certainly not for everyone. If you believe you 'already have the truth and it is effectively 'saving souls in our current surroundings, you're not likely a person who will stand the reproof of scripture and admit you've fallen prey to error. On the other hand if you are beginning to realize that something is desperately wrong with the establishment Church System and the professed who follow it, this study is a good place to begin. We will begin with a summary of the foundational errors that nullify true redemption … meaning the 'release from bondage and purging of the root of iniquity from the heart in repentance that makes a person a Fit Vessel for the Master's use. In the complicated matrix of Systematic theology they have removed this vital element from Salvation and replaced it with a 'Positional exchange premised on a governmental satisfaction that is secured in Christ unconditionally. This of course is necessitated by the Chief fallacy infecting all of professed Christendom, on which the entire System of error is based, the 'born in sin myth, making human inability the central theme of everything they teach. Therefore regardless which flavor of doctrine you consider (which ISM) their house is built on the shifting sands of error and lack the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus. In view of this let's examine the following passage well known to professed Christians: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Rom3:24-26 We all Know that 'NO ONE can Save themselves, we all need Christ as our Savior. But what exactly do we mean by saying this; that no human effort whatsoever is required in Salvation beyond merely 'trusting in Christ … (faith alone) that's what most of professed Christendom has been taught due to their wholly indisposed Condition of being born in sin, God has to do it all in their place lest they become boastful in their efforts and 'think they have 'saved themselves. However that's NOT what the Bible teaches, I only point this out to make my point more clear. Of course we cannot 'Save ourselves', Eph2:8-9, its 'by Grace you are Saved, not of yourself, not of works, lest anyone boast', we all know the drill, 'By the works of the law no flesh shall be Justified, Blessed in the man that wortheth not, but believes on Him who Justifies the ungodly' Rom4:5. But what does this mean apart from the doctrines of men? It means that our Past sins cannot be remitted (forgiven-pardoned) by adherence to rituals, sacrifices, works of the law done toward Justification of our wrong doings. It does NOT mean that human effort and obedience to the truth is thrown out the window! Our past sins can ONLY be forgiven by the shed Blood of Christ as the passage says. 2 But because their theological premise forces them to view the death of Christ as some kind of Satisfaction- Substitution, done to balance the scales of God's Justice, they have passed over the most vital aspect of this free forgiveness, the 'Redemption that is in Christ Jesus!' You cannot be Justified freely apart from this Redemption and that's what's missing from evangelical teaching today. The RELEASE from Bondage that is in Christ Jesus! Expressed in such manner throughout Scripture: 'We have Redemption (release from bondage) through His blood, the Remission (pardon, forgiveness) of sin' Eph1:7, Col1:14. having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2Pet1:3 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin For he who has died has been freed from sin. Rom6:6-7 but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, Tit3:5 This is what Redemption is about, it’s PURPOSE, 'To Save His people FROM their Sins' Matt1:21, Not in them! You see, the passages are speaking of BOTH, the free gift of remission and the Redemption, wrought through Repentance and Faith Proven by deeds; 'That they should repent, turn to God and DO WORKS worthy of repentance', Acts26:20, Repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ, Acts20:21, that repentance for remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem Lk24:47, 'Bring forth fruit worthy of repentance', Lk3:8. Its always in a 'working together' concept the bible calls 'Synergy, 2Cor6:1, Js2:22, 24, synergeō, fellow-workers, fellow-labors, Man repents, comes clean, God responds in Kind and forgives. The opposite is 'Monergism, a made up theological term that means God does it all, man does nothing. This works a REAL, Genuine, actual Release from the bondage of Sin in Christ, not a gradual, dying out daily to the old man in a sin-confess, sin-repent cycle of ongoing failure.

  • Book Reviews & Short Notices
    MAJT 26 (2015): 207-279 BOOK REVIEWS & SHORT NOTICES Michael Allen and Scott R. Swain. Reformed Catholicity: The Promise of Retrieval for Theology and Biblical Interpretation. Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2015. Pp. viii + 168, including a general index. $19.99. In the history of Christian theology since the time of the Reformation, the respective roles of Scripture and tradition in the formulation of the doctrines of the faith have received considerable attention. On the one hand, the Roman Catholic Church―and the Eastern Orthodox Churches as well―has articulated an understanding of tradition as an organism, consisting of written (Bible) and unwritten tradition. In this view, the church as the body of Christ, indwelt and guided by the Holy Spirit, has the power to define authoritatively what the faithful must believe. The magisterium or teaching office of the church is regarded as the infallible source and judge of all matters to be believed and practiced (credenda et agenda) by the faithful. On the other hand, Protestantism, especially in its modern evangelical ex- pressions, has diminished the role of tradition in order to privilege the exclusive, supreme authority of the Word of God in Scripture. Under the banner of sola Scriptura, many evangelical theologians have relegated the church’s traditional reading of Scripture, includ- ing the codification of that reading in creeds and confessions, to a subordinate, even insignificant, role. The slogans, “no creed but Christ,” “no book but the Bible,” have become shorthand for an ap- proach to theology that is biblicistic and a-historical. Individual theo- logians, upon the basis of their exegetical engagement with the Scrip- tural texts, are free to articulate their understanding of the Christian faith in a way that is untethered from the rich inheritances of the church throughout history.

  • ABSTRACT Macdonald's Antiphon: Literary Traditions and the “Lost
    ABSTRACT MacDonald’s Antiphon: Literary Traditions and the “Lost Church” of English Worship Bethany Joy Bear, Ph.D. Mentor: Stephen Prickett, Ph.D. This dissertation examines the ways in which Victorian novelist and fantasist George MacDonald re-imagines Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ideas about the religious function of literary traditions. Each chapter of this project argues that Coleridge and MacDonald confront the problems of post-Kantian subjectivity with visions of literary tradition that, in turn, revitalize the idea of a universal Church in English life and letters. Chapter One begins with a study of Coleridge’s participation in the “reinvention of tradition” in the nineteenth century. Chapter Two argues that Coleridge’s Aids to Reflection (1825) is predicated upon the idea that literary recreations of the past can resolve many of the philosophical, historical, and moral challenges to the authority of the Bible. Thirty years after the publication of Aids to Reflection, MacDonald developed Coleridge’s ideas into a vision of literary traditions as “chapels” through which readers might enter the Church Invisible. In Phantastes (1858), MacDonald imagines reading as a form of baptism that can reconcile interpretive freedom and spiritual communion. Likewise, in England’s Antiphon (1868), MacDonald argues that England’s lyric tradition can restore unity among England’s divided Christians. Chapter Three considers why MacDonald writes fairy-tale “parables” in response to those who would reduce the Bible’s meaning either to the empiricism of textual criticism or to the “single plain sense” of plenary-verbal inspiration. Similarly, in Antiphon, MacDonald responds to Coleridge’s problematic theories of allegory with his own narrative of allegory’s importance in the English literary tradition.

  • PLAYS and PURITANS by CHARLES KINGSLEY the British
    PLAYS AND PURITANS BY CHARLES KINGSLEY THE British Isles have been ringing for the last few years with the word ‘Art’ in its German sense; with ‘High Art,’ ‘Symbolic Art,’ ‘Ecclesiastical Art,’ ‘Dramatic Art,’ ‘Tragic Art,’ and so forth; and every well-educated person is expected, nowadays, to know something about Art. Yet in spite of all translations of German ‘Æsthetic’ treatises, and ‘Kunstnovellen,’ the mass of the British people cares very little about the matter, and sits contented under the imputation of ‘bad taste.’ Our stage, long since dead, does not revive; our poetry is dying; our music, like our architecture, only reproduces the past; our painting is only first- rate when it handles landscapes and animals, and seems likely so to remain; but, meanwhile, nobody cares. Some of the deepest and most earnest minds vote the question, in general, a ‘sham and a snare,’ and whisper to each other confidentially, that Gothic art is beginning to be a ‘bore,’ and that Sir Christopher Wren was a very good fellow after all; while the middle classes look on the Art movement half amused, as with a pretty toy, half sulkily suspicious of Popery and Paganism, and think, apparently, that Art is very well when it means nothing, and is merely used to beautify drawing-rooms and shawl patterns; not to mention that, if there were no painters, Mr. Smith could not hand down to posterity likenesses of himself, Mrs. Smith, and family. But when ‘Art’ dares to be in earnest, and to mean something, much more to connect itself with religion, Smith’s tone alters.

THE FUNCTION OF RELIGION IN SELECTED NOVELS OF GEORGE GISSING by LAWTON A. BREWER Under the Direction of Paul Schmidt ABSTRACT George Gissing has experienced a fluctuating reputation among critics in the period of over one hundred years since his death in 1903. Curiously, during the last decade of his life, many critics put Gissing on a par with Thomas Hardy and George Meredith among writers living at that time. Early in his career, however, his reputation suffered from the notion that Gissing was simply a naturalist with a pessimistic, atheistic streak. To some extent, this appraisal has some merit. Gissing pronounced himself an unbeliever to family and to acquaintances such as Fredrick Harrison as early as 1880. Nonetheless, Gissing maintained an interest in religion throughout his life, a fact made plain by his use of religious material in his novels.
