  • Capper 1998 Phd Karl Barth's Theology Of
    Karl Barth’s Theology of Joy John Mark Capper Selwyn College Submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy University of Cambridge April 1998 Karl Barth’s Theology of Joy John Mark Capper, Selwyn College Cambridge, April 1998 Joy is a recurrent theme in the Church Dogmatics of Karl Barth but it is one which is under-explored. In order to ascertain reasons for this lack, the work of six scholars is explored with regard to the theme of joy, employing the useful though limited “motifs” suggested by Hunsinger. That the revelation of God has a trinitarian framework, as demonstrated by Barth in CD I, and that God as Trinity is joyful, helps to explain Barth’s understanding of theology as a “joyful science”. By close attention to Barth’s treatment of the perfections of God (CD II.1), the link which Barth makes with glory and eternity is explored, noting the far-reaching sweep which joy is allowed by contrast with the related theme of beauty. Divine joy is discerned as the response to glory in the inner life of the Trinity, and as such is the quality of God being truly Godself. Joy is seen to be “more than a perfection” and is basic to God’s self-revelation and human response. A dialogue with Jonathan Edwards challenges Barth’s restricted use of beauty in his theology, and highlights the innovation Barth makes by including election in his doctrine of God. In the context of Barth’s anthropology, paying close attention to his treatment of “being in encounter” (CD III.2), there is an examination of the significance of gladness as the response to divine glory in the life of humanity, and as the crowning of full and free humanness.

  • Hermeneutical Resemblance in Rudolf Bultmann and Thich Nhat Hanh
    Hermeneutical Resemblance in Rudolf Bultmann and Thich Nhat Hanh Joel (J.T.) Young PhD Candidate, Theology, Global Center for Advanced Studies: College Dublin, Dublin, IE, jtyoung@gcas.ie ABSTRACT: Over the last several decades, academic theology in America has seen a resurgence of interest in the 20th century German-speaking theological movement known as “dialectical theology.” While primarily focusing on the theology of Swiss Reformed theologian, Karl Barth, there has also been a revival of curiosity in Barth’s academic rival, Rudolf Bultmann, who cultivated the controversial program of “demythologization.” Though the recovery of Bultmann’s work in English-speaking circles is historically valuable to our understanding of how modern theology progressed, the question still stands as to how it might aid our dialogue in an increasingly pluralistic world. Unpacking one such opportunity is the aim of this paper. Through dialogue with the Zen Buddhism of Thich Nhat Hanh, I show how different contours of Bultmann’s thought can aid us in understanding and approaching interreligious discourse through hermeneutical consistencies and resemblance. While this paper discusses several different aspects of Bultmann’s and Nhat Hanh’s religious thought, the consistencies and resemblance between the two individual thinkers are, no doubt, emblematic of greater Familienähnlichkeit between their respective faith traditions – a topic to be taken up at a later time. KEYWORDS: Rudolf Bultmann, Thich Nhat Hanh, Demythologization, Zen Buddhism, Christianity, Dialectical Theology, Hermeneutics, Interreligious Dialogue Introduction Academic theology in America has seen a resurgence of interest in the 20th century German- speaking theological movement, "dialectical theology", for the last several decades.

Douglas Mc. L. Judisch Two Significant Archival Collections ............................Lawrence R.

("Since You Asked," by Norma and Burton Everist, Lutheran Standard, September 1998, page 21). A layman or laywoman, in a query addressed to the Lutheran Standard, begins with these reasonable observations: "While teaching Sunday school I was surprised to read that Jonah was thought to be a parable. I see nothing in the text that suggests it couldn't be historical." The concerned correspondent then poses the obvious question: "How is it a parable?" A. A Critical View of Jonah In the response to this query the denial of the historicity of the Book of Jonah is, in itself, scarcely surprising. Both of the Everists, after all, are shown in a photograph above the column wearing clerical collars. The "Rev. Norma Cook Everist" is identified as a professor of church and ministry in Wartburg Seminary in Dubuque (Iowa), while the "Rev. Burton L. Everist is pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in East Dubuque (Illinois).

  • The Theology of Due Process: the Adjudication Cases of Robert Preus in the LCMS and Rolf Preus in the ELS
    1 The Theology of Due Process: The Adjudication Cases of Robert Preus in the LCMS And Rolf Preus in the ELS Sixth Annual ACELC Free Conference Redeemer Lutheran Church Nashville, Tennessee April 26, 2016 By Pastor Rolf Preus In asking me to speak about my father’s trials in the Missouri Synod and my trial in the ELS you are not asking for an objective analysis. How could I be objective? Nothing that happened to my father had more of an impact on me personally than his being fired as president and tenured professor at Concordia Theological Seminary in 1989, suspended from the Missouri Synod for trying to get his position back, and then denied his rightful position after prevailing in the church courts. My removal from the ELS and from River Heights Lutheran Church in East Grand Forks in 2006 was also a very significant event in my life.� I am by no means impartial in regard to these events. Justice must be impartial. This is why it re- quires due process. Due process is a given among Americans. We trace it back to the Magna Carta where the king was placed under the authority of the law. Nobody is above the law. The American Revolution – a righteous cause and a just war – was fought on this principle. History, reason, culture, civil law, and natural law all teach due process. It is enshrined in the American Constitution. Both the fifth and fourteenth amendments guarantee that no one can be deprived of life, liberty, or property except by due process of law.
