CHRISTIAN (SYSTEMATIC) THEOLOGY BOOK EVALUATION FORM· 206 BIBLIOGRAPHY. 209 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Fueled by a million man-made wings of fire the rocket tore a tunnel through the sky and everybody cheered. Fueled only by a thought from God the seedling urged its way through the thicknesses of black and as it pierced the heavy ceiling of the soil and launched itself up into outer space no one even clapped.l In an era today of rapid growth in knowledge, the average contemporary man has forgotten the Creator, applauding only the creations of his own mind. It has been and is the task of theologians, whether pastors or professors,. to keep alive the option of belief in the reality of God--to remind man to clap. In the theologian's field of knowledge, as in all arenas of thought, literary works have exploded, bombed, and even splintered in a mind-expanding wilderness of information. Access to this knowledge and its availability to theologians was the impetus for the following study. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM There was an apparent. lack of information concerning the availability and usability of Christian (systematic) 1 . Marc1e Hans, "Fueled," in Reflections on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle. and Other Modern Verse, Ed. Stephen Dunning (New York: Lothrop, Lee and Shepard Co., 1967), p. 83. 2 theology books used by professors of theology. Therefore, there was a need to obtain and compile information relating to such availability and usability. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of the study was to: (1) ascert"ain what Christian (systematic) theology books were available to professors ·of theology in A. T. S. schools, (2) evaluate the content and discern the theological perspective of selected available books, and (3) determine the usability of the above books in Christian theology courses. ~~STIFICATION OF THE STUDY A study of the proposed nature was to make available to professors of theology in evangelical schools a resource work containing: (1) a bibliog~aphy of available books in the discipline of systematics~ and (2) an individual evalua­ tion of each selected book concerning its content, theological position, and usability in the evangelical classroom. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY Because this study was of pertinence particularly to. professors of theology and because of the immense prolifera­ tion of graduate level Christian institutions, this study was restricted to: (1) professors of theology in accredited A. T. S. schools, (2) theology books used as texts by those professors in their courses, and (3) evaluations of selected 3 works in terms of their usefulness. Selected works were chosen on the basis of th~ii total content in relation to the entire spectrum of systematics and the frequency of their use by professors of theology. DEFINITION OF TERMS The Association of Theological Schools was abbreviated to A. T. S. Textbook This is a book, in the narrow sense of the term, used as the primary source of written information in a given class. Even though the book may not have been written for classroom use, a book is entitled a text if an instructor designates the book :or classroom study. In a.broader connotation, it is a book set aside for study, whet~er reference

    James H. Cone: Father of Contemporary Black Theology

    James H. Cone: Father Of Contemporary Black Theology RUFUS BURROW, JR. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this article is to provide pastors, laypersons, students and aca- demicians with a sense of the human being behind and in the thick of black lib- eration theology as well as his courage to both lead and change. I shall briefly discuss aspects of James Hal Cone's background, some early frustrations and challenges he confronted, and ways in which his theology has shifted. Since the late 1960s, Cone has been among the most creative and courageous of the contemporary black liberation theologians. Although he has been writing major theologi"tal treatises since 1968, there has been no booklength manuscript published on his work. There have, however, been a number of dissertations written on his theology since 1974, some of which are comparative studies. Cone has been the subject of much criticism by white theologians, although few of them have taken either him or the black religious experience seriously enough to be willing to devote the time and energy necessary to learn all they can about these in order to engage in intelligent dialogue and criticism. Considered the premier black theologian and the "father of contemporary black theology," it is strange that after more than twenty years of writing, lectur- ing on and doing black theology, no one has yet devoted a book to Cone's work.' To be sure, Cone's is not the only version of black liberation theology. However, it was he who introduced this new way of doing theology in a systematic way.

    Dr. Herman Bavinck 1854-1921 Theologian of the Word1

    page 1 Dr. Herman Bavinck 1854-1921 Theologian of the Word1 By Johan D. Tangelder hen I reflect on my spiritual pilgrimage, Reformed thinkers come to mind who became my mentors. The Dutch theologian Dr. Herman Bavinck heads the list. I was introduced to his theology through his magisterial work, the four-volume W Reformed Dogmatics (1906-1911), a gift from a generous host at whose place I stayed for a weekend during my studies at the Free University of Amsterdam. And over the years I have added to my Bavinck collection. He wrote not only on theology, but also on Christian politics and education, creation versus evolution, psychology and the family. His works are still relevant for the fierce spiritual battles raging in the 21st century. Writing at the turn of the last century, he stated: “...the twentieth century. .. [will] witness a gigantic conflict of spirits... between the old and the new worldview.” Bavinck foresaw the conflicts between the powers of darkness and the Kingdom of God we witness today. BAVINCK’S BACKGROUND Herman Bavinck’s father was a devout Secessionist minister, who lacked a complete formal theological education; however, he was well versed in Reformed theology. When Herman finished high school (gymnasium), he wanted to study at the university in Leiden. But his father urged him to study at least for one year at the Theological School in Kampen. Herman’s decision to study in Leiden, a centre of modernism, grieved many Secessionist leaders. Some believed that Jan Bavinck compromised both school and church by letting his son go to Leiden.

    Herman Bavinck Speaks English: a Bibliographic Essay

    MJT 19 (2008) 117-126 HERMAN BAVINCK SPEAKS ENGLISH: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC ESSAY by John Bolt TO COMMEMORATE the complete translation of Herman Bavinck’s magiste- rial four-volume Reformed Dogmatics into English1 and the centenary of his 1908 Stone Lectures at Princeton Seminary, The Philosophy of Reve- lation,2 this bibliographic essay will review Bavinck’s own writings that are available in English along with significant scholarly treatments of his thought in the English language.3 Like his Neo-Calvinist contemporary Abraham Kuyper, Bavinck was accorded attention and respect in the American theological world while in the prime of his own theological career. This is remarkable considering that, unlike German, for example, the Dutch theological tradition, espe- cially of a minor and conservative branch of the Reformed faith, did not command such attention readily. Much of the credit for this must be given to Geerhardus Vos who introduced both men to Benjamin Warfield and was influential in bringing them to Princeton to deliver the prestig- ious Stone Lectures, Kuyper in 1898 and Bavinck in 1908.4 What is not as well known about Bavinck is that 1908 was not his first visit to North America.
