Osborne, Revelation Baker Academic, a division of Baker Publishing Group, © 2002. Used by permission. Revelation.book Page ix Tuesday, August 20, 2002 4:10 PM Series Preface The chief concern of the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Tes- tament (to be known as BECNT) is to provide, within the framework of informed evangelical thought, commentaries that blend scholarly depth with readability, exegetical detail with sensitivity to the whole, attention to critical problems with theological awareness. We hope thereby to at- tract the interest of a fairly wide audience, from the scholar who is look- ing for a thoughtful and independent examination of the text to the mo- tivated lay Christian who craves a solid but accessible exposition. Nevertheless, a major purpose is to address the needs of pastors and others involved in the preaching and exposition of the Scriptures as the uniquely inspired Word of God. This consideration affects directly the parameters of the series. For example, serious biblical expositors cannot afford to depend on a superficial treatment that avoids the dif- ficult questions, but neither are they interested in encyclopedic com- mentaries that seek to cover every conceivable issue that may arise. Our aim, therefore, is to focus on those problems that have a direct bearing on the meaning of the text (although selected technical details are treated in the additional notes). Similarly, a special effort is made to avoid treating exegetical ques- tions for their own sake, that is, in relative isolation from the thrust of the argument as a whole. This effort may involve (at the discretion of the individual contributors) abandoning the verse-by-verse approach in fa- vor of an exposition that focuses on the paragraph as the main unit of thought. In all cases, however, the commentaries will stress the devel- opment of the argument and explicitly relate each passage to what pre- cedes and follows it so as to identify its function in context as clearly as possible. We believe, moreover, that a responsible exegetical commentary must take fully into account the latest scholarly research, regardless of its source. The attempt to do this in the context of a conservative theo- logical tradition presents certain challenges, and in the past the results have not always been commendable. In some cases, evangelicals appear to make use of critical scholarship not for the purpose of genuine inter- action but only to dismiss it. In other cases, the interaction glides over into assimilation, theological distinctives are ignored or suppressed, and the end product cannot be differentiated from works that arise from a fundamentally different starting point. ix Grant R. Osborne, Revelation Baker Academic, a division of Baker Publishing Group, © 2002. Used by permission. Revelation.book Page x Tuesday, August 20, 2002 4:10 PM Series Preface The contributors to this series attempt to avoid these pitfalls. On the one hand, they do not consider traditional opinions to be sacrosanct, and they are certainly committed to do justice to the biblical text whether or not it supports such opinions. On the other hand, they will not quickly abandon a long-standing view, if there is persuasive evidence in its favor, for the sake of fashionable theories. What is more important, the contributors share a belief in the trustworthiness and essential unity of Scripture. They also consider that the historic formulations of Chris- tian doctrine, such as the ecumenical creeds and many of the docu- ments originating in the sixteenth-century Reformation, arose from a legitimate reading of Scripture, thus providing a proper framework for its further interpretation. No doubt, the use of such a starting point sometimes results in the imposition of a foreign construct on the text, but we deny that it must necessarily do so or that the writers who claim to approach the text without prejudices are invulnerable to the same danger. Accordingly, we do not consider theological assumptions—from which, in any case, no commentator is free—to be obstacles to bibli- cal interpretation. On the contrary, an exegete who hopes to under- stand the apostle Paul in a theological vacuum might just as easily try to interpret Aristotle without regard for the philosophical frame- work of his whole work or without having recourse to those subse- quent philosophical categories that make possible a meaningful con- textualization of his thought. It must be emphasized, however, that the contributors to the present series come from a variety of theolog- ical traditions and that they do not all have identical views with re- gard to the proper implementation of these general principles. In the end, all that really matters is whether the series succeeds in repre- senting the original text accurately, clearly, and meaningfully to the contemporary reader. Shading has been used to assist the reader in locating salient sections of the treatment of each passage: the introductory comments, the dis- cussion of structure, and the concluding summary. Textual variants in the Greek text are signaled in the author’s translation by means of half- brackets around the relevant word or phrase (e.g., {Gerasenes}), thereby alerting the reader to turn to the additional notes at the end of each ex- egetical unit for a discussion of the textual problem. The documentation uses the author-date method, in which the basic reference consists of author’s surname + year + page number(s): Fitzmyer 1981: 297. The only exceptions to this system are well-known reference works (e.g., BAGD, LSJ, TDNT). Full publication data and a complete set of indexes can be found at the end of the volume.

  • Gabriel Moran's Book Is a Tour De Force of Practical Theology. Beginning
    “Gabriel Moran’s book is a tour de force of practical theology. Beginning from a creative reappropriation of the meanings of ‘faith’ and ‘revelation’ as ‘believing in a revealing God,’ Moran establishes a lively and relevant theological basis for addressing problems of authority and responsibility in the Church, for identifying the distinctively Christian faith-response to divine revelation, and for questions of teaching and learning. This remarkably stimulating and thoroughly original approach to our ecclesial life today offers real guidance through the perils and pitfalls of today’s Christian believing. Written with a clarity and attractiveness that should give it a wide readership, the book charts its own distinctive course through some very well-traveled waters.” — Paul Lakeland Aloysius P. Kelley SJ Professor of Catholic Studies Director, Center for Catholic Studies Fairfield University, Connecticut “Gabriel Moran, master-teacher, teaches us anew about old topics. He has fresh, insightful things to say about the God who reveals, the humans who accept and respond to this revelation, and the community in which the revelation is mediated. When a master teacher speaks, there is always much to be learned by all who listen carefully, and that is abundantly true in this book.” — Michael G. Lawler Professor Emeritus of Catholic Theology Creighton University Omaha, Nebraska “Once again Moran has shown he is one of the most underestimated Roman Catholic intellectuals of our time. No work is more timely. No project more important. The book is the summit of his life’s work on the question of revelation. Moran’s intention here is to be deeply conservative.

Their method is to identify the problem, test alternative solutions that have been suggested in the history of Christian thought and, using a responsible hermeneutic, search the Scriptures in their progress of revelation.

Moody Bible Institute May, 2009 December 2019 Dr. Karin Heller, Faculty Advisor Dr. Joshua Leim, Reviewer Summary of Salient Points This research will demonstrate that bodily existence is essential to human nature and that Christian worship practices must go hand-in-hand with a sound understanding of human embodiment in order to be faithful to the essence of Christianity. The following thesis demonstrates that the biblical understanding is that humanity was created as a body enlivened by the breath of God and intended to be the sacred sanctuary where God’s presence will dwell. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ, God’s goal to make humanity the sanctuary for his presence is fulfilled. Jesus Christ is the image of God, who redeems and represents all humanity regardless of age, class, race, or gender. All humanity finds their ultimate destiny in union with Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, by which those who believe are transformed into God’s dwelling place.

Should Chris and Blaine be guilty of murder? What does the law do when its “reason” is called into question by a religious revelation that claims authority and moral certainty superior to and contrary to law? We seem to be living in a time when this question is a common one.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Channeling the Symbols of Divine Radiation: An Ethnographic Analysis of the Functions of Sacred Materials in Superetism A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Culture and Performance by Degenhart Maria Grey Brown 2019 © Copyright by Degenhart Maria Grey Brown 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Channeling the Symbols of God’s Radiation: An Ethnographic Analysis of the Functions of Sacred Materials in Superetism by Degenhart Maria Grey Brown Master of Arts in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Allen Fraleigh Roberts, Chair Despite mounting interest in the lives of objects across a broad swathe of academic disciplines, researchers often reduce the complex mediating role of religious materials among human and divine beings to categorical, social constructions. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the United States, Mexico, and Nigeria over a period of five years, this thesis explores the divine and agentive functions of sacred objects pertaining to the Los Angeles-based Holy Superet Light Church. Since the passing of the movement’s founder in 1957, Superet sacred objects have adopted Her role as mediator between humanity and God. As indexical representations for God’s Light, Superetists consider the movement’s religious materials to possess remedial qualities that transcend human agency. Ultimately, this project ii prioritizes an emic, collaborative perspective in exploring how members of the Holy Superet Light Church access spiritual and physical healing through an immersive, long-term interaction with the religion’s material culture. iii The thesis of Degenhart Maria Grey Brown is approved.

    The Philosophy of Revelation Author(s): Bavinck, Herman (1854-1921) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In 1908-1909, Princeton Theological Seminary invited Her- man Bavinck to deliver the renowned L.P. Stone Lectures. This volume contains these lectures, all of which concern theories of divine revelation. He details the importance of God's revealing himself in history, thought, nature, personal experience, and religious tradition, hoping to show that people cannot make sense of the world without acknowledging the divine revelation as foundational. The lectures remain relev- ant today, and give a more concise insight into early 20th century Reformed thought than some of Kuyper's and others' lengthier works.

Ragland’s rejection of the widespread theological claim that the earthly life is the sole sphere of choice, though central to Ragland’s argument, is never ar- ticulated, let alone justified. While it is tempting to vary the theological elements of a doctrine in order to solve philosophical problems, it should be remembered that theological claims need theological justification.
