Phillips, Southwestern Baptist Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas Mary Linden Sepulveda, Seattle University, Seattle, Washington © 2008 American Theological Library Association Jennifer Lynn Woodruff Tait, Independent Scholar, Huntington, Indiana ii EDITORIAL “Quinquennial” – Reflecting on TL’s Fifth Anniversary It was during a Town Hall luncheon at the 58th Annual Conference of ATLA (held in Ottawa, Ontario) that the launch of the present publication occurred. There are two things I remember vividly about the occasion: • a sense of anticipation, goodwill, and enthusiasm • how in spite of our careful planning, the laptop on which were intending to press the “publish” button had timed-out when the moment of destiny arrived. All that was required to get TL past that minor glitch was a little throat-clearing and ingenuity. But it has taken a lot more than that to get the journal to where it is today, in July 2013. And this is a good time to give credit where credit is due (in somewhat random order): • to various successive members of ATLA’s Publications Committee, dating from about 2006 onward • to Jack Ammerman, (who while serving as ATLA Bibliography Series Editor) hatched the idea of a Journal of Theological Bibliography which, while it never came to fruition in its original format, was nevertheless a direct precursor to the publication you are reading now • to various iterations of ATLA’s Professional Development Committee, who did a good job of keeping this new venture well-integrated with other ATLA endeavors • to senior leadership (past and present) at ATLA • to those who have served on TL’s advisory Board (providing occasional advice and suggestions for peer reviewers) • to the Editorial Board • most of all to you, readers and/or ATLA members, who have played such a decisive part. We know a lot more now than we did in 2007 about how this journal can serve the theological library community, but your input is just as welcome and needful as ever. A final word: our longtime colleague as Columns Editor, Andy Keck, is stepping aside from his TL responsibilities with this current issue. His work goes back to when the journal was no more than an idea of the Publication Committee on which he served. Nobody has played a more important part, and nobody could have been such a steady and resourceful collaborator. We offer heartfelt thanks to Andy for his outstanding service. At the same time we are pleased to welcome Andy’s successor, Gary F. Daught (Milligan College, TN). Gary has been a thought-leader in the ways that Open Access publishing is changing our landscape, and is looking forward to the hands-on experience of being on T L’s Editorial Board. Thanks for reading, DRS Volume 6, Number 2 • July 2013 THEOLOGICAL LIBRARIANSHIP iii An Online Journal of the American Theological Library Association COLUMN DIKTUON: Drupal – CMS and Beyond By James Marion Darlack ibraries are continuing to broaden and develop their online presence. Patrons are no longer satisfied with static web pages detailing hours of operation, staff contact information, and services. Libraries have employed various tools to meet the ever-evolving needs of patrons. One such tool is the all-so-common “Content LManagement System” (CMS), with the most popular system known as Drupal (http://www.drupal.org). Simply stated, “Drupal is a free software package that allows you to easily organize, manage and publish your content, with an endless variety of customization” (http://www.drupal.org/about). Drupal was first developed by Dries Buytaert at the University of Antwerp in 1999 and was released into the open-source community under the name “Drupal” (an Anglicization of the Dutch word druppel or “drop”). Though Drupal is commonly referred to as a CMS, it is actually a “content management framework,” and, as such, it allows for extensibility and scalability through the addition of various user-created modules that build upon its core framework.1 Libraries have been employing Drupal in a number of ways, including managing the library’s web presence, extending the functionality of their online catalog, and providing a framework for digital collections. WHY DRUPAL? Drupal’s low cost, extensibility, and collaborative user community make it an attractive choice for those seeking to manage a library’s web presence. COST Drupal was released in 2001 as open source software, and as such there is no cost for licensing. Thus, the costs involved with running a Drupal site usually involve only the hosting costs and the expense of development and maintenance. Installation requirements are fairly inexpensive: a server running Apache 2.x, a database server (typically MySQL), and PHP (http://drupal.org/requirements). Apache, MySQL, and PHP are all open source and can be easily installed using the “prepackaged” installers such as WAMP (http://www.wampserver.com) or MAMP (http://www.mamp.info). EXTENSIBILITY A Drupal installation is comprised of three basic parts, the “core,” “user contributed modules,” and “themes.” The “core” refers to the basic group of modules that make up a standard Drupal installation. User contributed modules allow for nearly limitless customization of any site’s functionality, and the themes allow developers to adapt the “look” and “feel” of a site to the organization’s (and users’) needs. Evidence of the wide variety of functionality and appearance possible with Drupal is available at Dries Buytaert’s list of Drupal-run websites (http://buytaert.net/ tag/drupal-sites). Sites listed include the Whitehouse (http://whitehouse.gov),

  • Conversion in the Pluralistic Religious Context of India: a Missiological Study
    Conversion in the pluralistic religious context of India: a Missiological study Rev Joel Thattupurakal Mathai BTh, BD, MTh 0000-0001-6197-8748 Thesis submitted for the degree Philosophiae Doctor in Missiology at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University in co-operation with Greenwich School of Theology Promoter: Dr TG Curtis Co-Promoter: Dr JJF Kruger April 2017 Abstract Conversion to Christianity has become a very controversial issue in the current religious and political debate in India. This is due to the foreign image of the church and to its past colonial nexus. In addition, the evangelistic effort of different church traditions based on particular view of conversion, which is the product of its different historical periods shaped by peculiar constellation of events and creeds and therefore not absolute- has become a stumbling block to the church‘s mission as one view of conversion is argued against the another view of conversion in an attempt to show what constitutes real conversion. This results in competitions, cultural obliteration and kaum (closed) mentality of the church. Therefore, the purpose of the dissertation is to show a common biblical understanding of conversion which could serve as a basis for the discourse on the nature of the Indian church and its place in society, as well as the renewal of church life in contemporary India by taking into consideration the missiological challenges (religious pluralism, contextualization, syncretism and cultural challenges) that the church in India is facing in the context of conversion. The dissertation arrives at a theological understanding of conversion in the Indian context and its discussion includes: the multiple religious belonging of Hindu Christians; the dual identity of Hindu Christians; the meaning of baptism and the issue of church membership in Indian context.

  • The Church Club of New York Library by Jacqueline Rider
    ESSAY ESSAY The Church Club of New York Library by Jacqueline Rider Abstract: Organized in 1887 by religious, financial, and social leaders in Manhattan, the Church Club of New York holds a library of some 1,500 volumes. It documents the religious roots and theological framework of New York’s financial elite, the birth of the Episcopal Church, and mainline American Protestantism’s reaction to the Social Gospel movement in the early 20th century. This essay discusses how titles illustrate the challenges these gentlemen confronted to their roles and their church’s identity in a rapidly changing society. Industrialization, modernization, and immigration were all affecting their personal, professional, and spiritual lives. It also reflects on how the collection as a whole mirrors the evolution of one sector of 20th century American culture. INTRODUCTION iewers of the PBS series “Downton Abbey” might recall when Lady Cora’s mother, Martha Levinson, visits from America. With homes in New York and Newport, she could very well have been married to someone resembling a member of the Church Club of New York. V 1 In 1905, New York Episcopal layman John Cole described the Church Club of New York as “a club for suggestion.” That genteel understatement might also apply to the club’s library. Organized in 1887 by many of the city’s religious, financial, and social leaders, the Church Club of New York holds a library of some 1,500 volumes. It documents the religious roots and theological framework of New York’s financial elite, the birth of the Episcopal Church, and mainline American Protestantism’s reaction to the Social Gospel movement in the early 20th century.

  • The Oxford Encyclopaedia of South Asian Christianity
    CRITICAL REVIEW The Oxford Encyclopaedia of South Asian Christianity Roger E. Hedlund, Jesudas Athyal, Joshua Kalapati, Jessica Richard, and Mylapore Institute for Indigenous Studies, eds. The Oxford Encyclopaedia of South Asian Christianity. New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2012. 2 vols.: 762 pp. Rs 2,950 (about US $55.00). Hardcover. ISBN: 0198073852. Also available as an e-book through Oxford Reference: Oxford Quick Reference Online. he Oxford Encyclopaedia of South Asian Christianity (OESAC) provides an insider’s guide to church history on the Indian sub-continent, plus the neighboring countries of Afghanistan and Burma and the island nations of Sri Lanka and the Maldives. In a region with religious majorities of Hindus, Buddhists, or TMuslims, one can easily overlook the presence of over twenty-six million Christians belonging to more than twenty “denominations.” British India and Burma are well known in the West as the object of the church’s mission beginning with William Carey’s arrival in Northeast India in 1793; fewer know of the Danish mission begun in 1706 or of the work of the Portuguese Franciscans as early as 1504. Those outside the world ecumenical community may not know that South Asian Christians now have national leadership in evangelism, missions, social and medical services, and theological education. They certainly merit their own encyclopedia that “documents the presence and contribution of Christianity as part of the history and culture of the South Asian region” (xvi). They have also taken responsibility for its publication. As Chief Editor, Roger Hedlund, a “teaching missiologist,” resident in India since 1974, recruited a team of South Asian scholars and church leaders to serve either on its editorial board (seven), as country or regional editors (thirteen), as topical or South Asian consultants (twenty-nine), or as members of the advisory board (fifty-three).

  • Wheelersburg Baptist Church 3/27/16 Brad Brandt 1 Corinthians 15:20-24 “Because Jesus Lives”**1
    Wheelersburg Baptist Church 3/27/16 Brad Brandt 1 Corinthians 15:20-24 “Because Jesus Lives”**1 Main Idea: Because Jesus lives, there are three certainties we can affirm, as explained in 1 Corinthians 15:20-24. I. We know what Jesus did (20). A. He died. B. He has been raised from the dead. C. His resurrection guarantees ours. II. We know what Jesus undid (21-22). A. In Adam, we have a problem. 1. Through him, death came into the world (21). 2. In him, all die (22). B. In Christ, we have a provision. 1. Through Him, the resurrection comes (21). 2. In Him, all will be made alive (22). III. We know what Jesus will do (23-24). A. Phase 1: Christ was raised first (23). B. Phase 2: Those who belong to Him will be next (23b). C. Phase 3: Then the end will come (24). 1. Christ will destroy all rebels. 2. Christ will hand over the kingdom to the Father. Application: Because Jesus lives there is hope. 1. We can be right with God now. 2. We can be ready to meet God in the future. Scripture Reading: Luke 24:1-12 Today millions are gathering because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. That’s why we are here today. But as we celebrate I want to remind you that millions, even billions on planet earth, don’t believe in His resurrection. I saw a CNS news headline in 2013 that read, “Percent of Americans Believing in the Resurrection Drops To 64% From 77% Last Easter.”2 Another article begins, “A third of Church of England clergy doubt or disbelieve in the physical Resurrection.” And that was in 2002.3 So the unbelief isn’t just out there, but is meandering right into the church.

I’ve had many instances where people did wrong things to me, of course, but rarely anything traumatic. My parents loved me, brought me to faith in Christ, and taught me His ways. I had a relatively easy childhood. But some of you have suffered traumatic wrongs. You may have had parents who were emotionally, physically, or even sexually abusive. Some of you have suffered (or perhaps are currently suf- fering) in an abusive marriage. You live daily under a barrage of verbal and emotional attacks that include either threats of physical harm or actual physical abuse. Or, perhaps your mate was unfaith- ful and you struggle with bitterness over being betrayed. Some of you have been victims of major fraud or theft. A few may have been the victim of a violent crime, such as rape or as- sault.
