Fathers series 2 ThQ Theologische Quartalschrift UR Unitatis Redintegratio ix INTRODUCTION Evangelical1 biblical exegesis suffers from a loss of equilibrium. A hallmark of evangelical Christianity is faith in the supreme authority of Scripture, often conveyed in the phrase sola scriptura. However, this conviction has not prevented a multiplicity of interpretations of the Bible, some of which flatly contradict others, and some outlying interpretations which clearly part from traditional Christian dogma. In addition, polemics over the best interpretation of Scripture has often resulted in deep divisions, even formal fragmentation of Christian unity. This dissertation argues that the lack of equipoise across evangelical exegesis is due largely to its underdeveloped hermeneutical framework.2 Specifically, it lacks clear ecclesial support. 1 The term “evangelical” is used variously. Carl Braaten gave one of the simplest and most direct definitions of the term when he described it as being “defined by the evangel, the good news of the gospel.” Carl E. Braaten and Robert W. Jenson, eds., The Catholicity of the Reformation (Grand Rapids, MI: W. B. Eerdmans, 1996), 55. In this work, the term will refer to “a large family of churches and enterprises” within Protestantism that exhibit a “consistent pattern of convictions and attitudes.” Cf. Mark A. Noll, American Evangelical Christianity: An Introduction (Oxford: Blackwell, 2001), 13–14. These markers include an emphasis on personal religious conversion, a reliance on Scripture as ultimate religious authority, an active concern for sharing the Christian faith with others, and a theological focus on Christ’s work on the cross. Evangelicals regularly worship in various denominations or independent groups. The evangelical indicators just listed apply to a wide variety of Christians, including revivalists with hardly any ecclesiology, and Reformed theologians, both modern ones and those found at such places as Princeton and Mercersburg Seminaries in the nineteenth century. It is understood that some of these groups might prefer other terms

  • Understanding the Bible Participant Guide
    UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE Opening Prayer Lord Jesus, you are the Word made flesh and the most perfect way in which God has revealed Himself to us. We ask you to help us understand Your word that we may know you better and become better disciples of You. We ask this in Your most holy Name. Amen. Scripture Reading Luke 4:14-21 In this Gospel, Jesus reads from the Sacred Scripture in the synagogue at Nazareth. He reveals that the prophet Isaiah prefigures His mission on earth and that He has come to fulfill the Hebrew Scriptures. What is important to read Sacred Scripture? The Church has always venerated the divine scriptures as it has venerated the Body of the Lord. Scripture is the “living word of God.” Access to the sacred scripture ought to be widely available to the Christian faithful. Taught by the Holy Spirit [the Church] strives to reach an increasingly more profound understanding of the Sacred Scriptures, in order to nourish its children with God’s words. Christianity is the religion of the “Word” of God, a word which is “not a written and mute word, but the Word which is incarnate and living.” If the Scriptures are not to remain a dead letter, Christ, the eternal Word of the living God, must, through the Holy Spirit, “open our minds to understand the Scriptures” (CCC, 108). “Ignorance of Scriptures is ignorance of Christ” (St. Jerome). Therefore, let them go gladly to the sacred text itself, whether in the sacred liturgy or in devout reading. Remember that prayer should accompany the reading of sacred scripture, so that it becomes a dialogue between God and the human reader (Dei Verbum 21-25).

C. en monedas, joyas, pinturas de vasijas y esculturas, que muestran el agotamiento físico de Heracles y su apoteosis divina. Luego de una extendida consideración de los principales trabajos académicos que abordaron el tema desde finales del siglo XIX, procuro mostrar que la representación iconográfica del agotamiento de Heracles y de su apoteosis da testimonio de la influencia de nuevas concepciones religiosas y filosóficas en su mito, fundamentalmente del pitagorismo, del orfismo y de los cultos mistéricos, así como del fuerte intelectualismo de la Atenas del siglo V a.

  • ADORATION of the BLESSED SACRAMENT Is This Something New? Isn’T the Celebration of the Mass Enough?
    ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Is this something new? Isn’t the celebration of the Mass enough? Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is not something new. It is a centuries-old practice rooted in an essential teaching of Catholic Christianity: Jesus Christ is truly and completely present in the Eucharist. Like many practices of our faith, however, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament developed gradually. In the earliest years of Christianity, consecrated bread would be brought home from the celebration of the Eucharist to be given to those not able to be present at the liturgy because of illness. It was also to be consumed by the faithful during the week to keep them connected to the Eucharist and the community they celebrated with. In about the fourth century monasteries began to reserve the Eucharist, and by the 11th century, reservation—still mainly for the sick and dying—was a regular feature of churches. While reverence was certainly given to Christ present in the sacrament, it was not yet customary to pray before the reserved sacrament. In the 11th century the French monk Berengar of Tours began to teach that the bread and wine in the celebration of the Eucharist could not change physically into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Pope Gregory VII demanded a retraction from Berengar saying that the body and blood of Christ were truly present in the Eucharist. This resulted in a refining of the church’s teaching on the real presence. In response, eucharistic devotion burst forth throughout Europe: processions, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, and other prayers focused on the reserved sacrament became part of Catholic life.

  • Shared Beliefs Between Roman Catholics and Protestants
    May 27, 2018 Shared Beliefs between Roman Catholics and Protestants Recommended Book • Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences by Norman L. Geisler and Ralph E. MacKenzie (Baker Books, 1995). • James Akin, Roman Catholic, Catholic Answers Senior Apologist “This book offers a comprehensive and balanced discussion and should retire older, sensationalistic works.” Summary of Agreements “What evangelicals have in common with Roman Catholics… this includes the great fundamentals of the Christian faith, including a belief in the Trinity, the virgin birth, the deity of Christ, the creation and subsequent fall of humanity, Christ’s unique atonement for our sins, the physical resurrection of Christ, the necessity of God’s grace for salvation, the existence of heaven and hell, the second coming of Christ, and the verbal inspiration and infallibility of Scripture.” (Geisler, Roman Catholics and Evangelicals, p. 155) Areas of Agreement Shared Beliefs on the Bible High View of Scripture • “The [Catholic] Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures.” (Vatican II) Scripture is inspired (“from God”) • Inspiration deals with the source of the Bible: it’s from God (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21). • Prophets were mouthpieces for God (2 Sam. 23:2; Heb. 1:1; Dt. 18:18; “thus says the Lord” x 1700). 1 • First Vatican Council: The Old and New Testaments were “written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit… they have God as their author.” Scripture is infallible (“cannot fail or be broken”). • Jesus said it has divine authority (“it is written,” Mt. 4:7). • Jesus said it cannot perish (“not on jot or tittle will pass away until all fulfilled,” Mt.

Spencer © Do not Copy without permission These notes are provided as a favor to students to help them follow the lectures and engage in discussion. They are a work in progress still needing some editing and correction. All suggestions for improvement and lists of errata welcomed. Hope you find them helpful nevertheless. They are required reading for the course. 2 THS 571 Theology of the Believers Church Tradition Session I Toward a Working Definition of the Believers Church Tradition Introductory Comments a) What do we mean by Believers Church Tradition - When I was first informed that I would be teaching a course called “Believers Church Theology” I was initially amused at the strange title. After some consideration, realizing that I myself stood in a “Believers Church Tradition” of sorts, I wondered what such a course would and should look like. You are probably wondering as well. What follows is an extended definition that draws on the history of theology, systematic theology and applied ecclesiology, which can be found, in various ways and shapes in the traditions represented here at ACTS. - Such a course, however, will always be taught from the differing perspectives within the ACTS consortium, and, while I will do my level best to be comprehensive across these traditions, it is a given that my perspective will often reflect the Baptist tradition in which I now stand. I make no apologies for this, but do wish to encourage the class to engage in dialogue with myself and other colleagues, from their own perspectives.
