  • 1- Course Syllabus Winter 2010 PENTECOSTAL THEOLOGY PENT
    Course Syllabus Winter 2010 PENTECOSTAL THEOLOGY PENT 0505 Five Fridays: Jan 22 | Feb 5 | Feb 19 | Mar 5 | Apr 2 9am – 4pm INSTRUCTOR: William A. Griffin Email: [email protected] Course Resource Page: http://class.tyndale.ca Office hours: By appointment I. COURSE DESCRIPTION An examination of classical Pentecostal theology with references to the early evangelical influences that contributed to its formation. Attention is given to the manner in which various Pentecostal emphases have been appropriated and developed within different charismatic settings. Evangelical individuals and groups provided the roots of what developed in the 20th century as a distinctive Pentecostal Theology. The unique doctrines which distinguish Pentecostalism from its evangelical cousins relate to the person and work of the Holy Spirit, particularly the baptism in the Spirit, speaking in other tongues, and the gifts of the Spirit. The course also includes an examination of several offshoots of Pentecostal theology such as the “prosperity gospel” and “apostolic renewal.” The goal of this course is to provide a forum for Pentecostals and non-Pentecostals to consider and assess the essential features of Pentecostalism, its orthodox roots, and its offspring groups. -1- II. LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. identify the basic elements of orthodox theology which Pentecostals hold in common with other Christian groups 2. understand the distinctive features in the broad spectrum of Pentecostal beliefs 3. appreciate the integration of spiritual experience and doctrinal expression 4. recognize the essence of spiritual empowerment in Pentecostal evangelism and missions 5. employ the Scriptures in both a directive and corrective manner in addressing theological issues in Pentecostal / charismatic belief and practice III.

  • Three Desert Ammas—Theodora, Sarah, and Syncletica
    COURAGEOUS WOMEN: THREE DESERT AMMAS-THEODORA, SARAH, AND SYNCLETICA A New Translation from the Greek Alphabetical Apophthegmata Patrum, with Introduction, Notes, and Comments' Tim Vivian INTRODUCTION Something like 90% of classical Greek and Roman literature is lost to us. This realization becomes acute, even heartbreaking, when we think of how very little of the little we have is by women. An exception that proves the rule is Plutarch’s “Sayings of Trojan Women,” in the Moralia.2 A unique manuscript of Catullus’ poems survived in a wine jar discovered in a monastery. How many of us would delight—exult—to have the complete poems of Sappho? This attrition continues into early Christianity: Paul names quite a few women in ministry; we have authentic writings by none of them.1 In the New Testament we also have T permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent.”4 In the decade before or after the turn of the fourth century, Bishop Theophilus of Alexandria ups the ante, even when he, seemingly, has all the chips: Tim Vivian is a retired Episcopal priest and emeritus professor of Religious Studies at California State University, Bakersfield. He is an expert on Coptic monasticism and has published widely on that subject in this and other journals. 1 A different version of this article will appear as part of a 2-volume translation of the Alphabetical Apophthegmata Patrum (The Sayings of the Desert Fathers), with notes and comments, forthcoming from Cistercian Publications. I wish to thank Kathleen Norris for reading a draft of this article, Joseph Trigg for things Origen, and Janet Gonzales and Chris Livingston at the CSU Bakersfield Walter Stiern Library for help with research materials.

    The Free Presbyterian Magazine Vol 110 April 2005 No 4 Which Version?1 he shelves of today’s bookshops carry an almost endless variety of Bible Tversions. But how should we assess them? And should we assume that the newer the translation the better? The book under review should give considerable help to those who are asking these and similar questions. In his Preface, Mr Macgregor gives his own experience: “As a young Christian I went to a church that used the Authorised Version (AV). However, on moving with my wife and family to a different area, we went to a church that used the Good News Bible (GNB) and the New International Version (NIV). This enticed me away from the AV for a while. At first these new versions appeared to be easier to read and understand. However, soon I began to notice serious discrepancies (that is, Old Testament references to Christ veiled or missing) in the GNB. This troubled me greatly. I stopped using it, but continued with the NIV, which seemed more reliable. However, as I studied it and compared it with the AV I had first used, I began to feel concerned. The NIV had verses missing, and later I found it had many words missing. Its rendering of some parts gave a completely different meaning. The more I read and compared, the more concerned I became. Also, like the GNB, the NIV was more difficult to commit to memory. I bought a Revised Authorised Version (called in the USA, and now here, the New King James Version (NKJV)).

  • 125 BOOK REVIEW J. Russell Frazier
    Methodist History, 53:2 (January 2015) BOOK REVIEW J. Russell Frazier, True Christianity, The Doctrine of Dispensations in the Thought of John William Fletcher (1729-1785). Eugene, OR: Pickwick Publications, 2014. 320 pp. $31.50. J. Russell Frazier has offered a comprehensive interpretation of John William Fletcher’s doctrine of dispensations. He appropriately entitled it, True Christianity. Frazier has provided the context for understanding the thought of John Fletcher, highlighting that in his mature theological understanding he developed a soteriology corresponding to the history of salvation. Fletcher shows that the development of God’s revelation as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit generally reflects the personal history of salvation. In this reckoning, each individual believer progressively transitions from a general awareness of God to a more specific knowledge of God as Father and Creator revealed in the Old Testament. The believer then progresses to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, whose life is distinguished between his earthly ministry entailing his life, death, and resurrection (Easter) and the outpouring of his Holy Spirit upon the church (Pentecost). Frazier shows that the most problematic feature of Fletcher’s theology of dispensations is the soteriological use that he made between the early followers of Jesus (pre-Pentecostal believers) and Pentecostal believers. This theology of dispensations, as Frazier so rightly pointed out, has nothing in common with the dispensational theology of Darby or Schofield. As Frazier showed, Fletcher understood Jesus’ earthly life as a brief period of time which represented a development of faith which was “singular” (as Fletcher put it) to John the Baptist and the early disciples of Jesus.

BELIEVE that no one ever reads his Bible with attention without being I struck with the deep beauty of the fourteenth chapter of St. John’s gos- pel. I suspect that few readers of that marvellous chapter fail to notice the wondrous saying of our Lord, “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.” Cold and dull must be the heart that is not roused and stirred by these words. This beautiful saying, of late years, has been painfully wrested from its true meaning. Men of whom better things might have been expected, have misapplied it sadly, and imposed a false sense on it. They have dared to say that men of all faiths and creeds will find a place in heaven at last; and that “every man shall be saved by the law or sect which he professeth, so that he be diligent to frame his mind according to that law and the light of nature.” They would fain have us believe that the inhabitants of heaven will be a mixed body, including heathen idolaters and Mohammedans as well as Chris- tians, and comprising members of every religious denomination in the world, however opposite and antagonistic their respective opinions may be.

O segundo e terceiro capítulos tratam de duas comédias em particular, Geritades (Geritadēs) e Convivas (Daitalēs). Nesses dois capítulos, a análise dos fragmentos está conjugada a um paralelo com comédias preservadas: no caso de Geritades, que tem por tema a crítica literária, Rãs; e Nuvens, no caso de Convivas, cujo assunto é o embate entre a nova e a velha educação.
