Restorationism developed out of the Second Great Awakening and is historically connected to the Protestant Reformation, [14] but differs in that Restorationists do not usually describe themselves as "reforming" a Christian church continuously existing from the time of Jesus, but as restoring the Church that they believe was lost at some point.

  • Restoring the Faith: the Assemblies of God, Pentecostalism, and American Culture
    106 SEMINARY STUDIES Since Baird is certain to replace Kummel as the standard text, it would be worthwhile to briefly compare the two. Kummel gives much more information on the pre-Enlightenment period (two chapters covering 27 pages rather than the 5-page section in the introduction allowed by Baird). Kiimrnel treats a considerably larger number of individual scholars but more briefly. Baird gives detailed discussions of only 64 individuals. Some of these figures Baird mentions in passing (e.g., G. C. Storr, G. T. Zacharia, and Albrecht Ritschl) and others he will treat in the second volume (e.g., H. J. Holtzmann and B. F. Westcott), but it is clear that his selection is rather limited. But this is not necessarily a weakness; discussing representative figures helps one see the forest, and an attempt to be more comprehensive and encyclopedic could lead one to lose sight of the forest for the trees. Kummel is also helpful in that he very frequently cites extensive materials from the author's works themselves. Baird, on the other hand provides more historical context and treats each author hi one place (the single exception is J. S. Semler) rather than in several places as Kummel sometimes does. Baird includes some conservative figures often overlooked (e.g., Neander and Hengstenberg), but his emphasis is clearly on figures important in the rise and development of the historical-criticalmethod. This represents, in my estimate, something of a weakness on Baird's part. Maybe it is inherent in the genre, but there is a decided historicist and positivist bias.

  • What Happened in the First Century -- Creation of New Testament Writings; Spread of Christianity; Rise of Persecutions
    What Happened in the First Century -- Creation of New Testament Writings; Spread of Christianity; Rise of Persecutions • The words and sayings of Jesus are collected and preserved. New Testament writings are completed. • A new generation of leaders succeeds the apostles. Nevertheless, expectation still runs high that the Lord may return at any time. The end must be close. • The Gospel taken through a great portion of the known world of the Roman empire and even to regions beyond. • New churches at first usually begin in Jewish synagogues around the empire and Christianity is seen at first as a part of Judaism. • The Church faces a major crisis in understanding itself as a universal faith and how it is to relate to its Jewish roots. • Christianity begins to emerge from its Jewish womb. A key transition takes place at the time of Jewish Revolt against Roman authority. In 70 AD Christians do not take part in the revolt and relocate to Pella in Jordan. • The Jews at Jamnia in 90 AD confirm the canon of the Hebrew Scriptures. The same books are recognized as authoritative by Christians. • Persecutions test the church. Jewish historian Josephus seems to express surprise that they are still in existence in his Antiquities in latter part of first century. • Key persecutions include Nero at Rome who blames Christians for a devastating fire that ravages the city in 64 AD He uses Christians as human torches to illumine his gardens. • Emperor Domitian demands to be worshiped as "Lord and God." During his reign the book of Revelation is written and believers cannot miss the reference when it proclaims Christ as the one worthy of our worship.

    January St. Dominic’s RCIA Program Disciple The Church: 15 History & Teaching 4 Goal • Having switched the Disciple 4 & 5 weeks, we looks at an overview of the Sacraments last week (Disciple 5), and explored the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. These Sacraments are two of the three that initiate us into the Church community, and into Christ’s body and mission. This week we’ll continue to unpack the meaning of Church by looking broadly at its history one the last 2000 years. We’ll also explore it’s role as Teacher. How does the Church function in and through history? How does God walk with the Church through it all? Agenda • Welcome/Housekeeping (10) • Questions & Answers • Introduction to the Rosary (15) Discussion (15): • If the Church is The Body of Christ, what does this mean for Christ’s presence in the world through history and in the world today? • What do I admire about the Catholic Church’s activity in history? Does any part of the Church’s activity in history disturb or upset me? • How do I (might I) listen to what the Church has to say today? What is my approach/attitude to the Church as “Teacher”? • Presentation: The Church: History (35) • Break (10) • Presentation: The Church: Teaching & Belief (30) • Discussion (time permitting): • What is special to this moment in history? • What is the Good News of Christ & the Church that speaks to this moment in history? • How can the body of Christ proclaim & witness the Gospel and walk with others today?

  • Marcion and the Corruption of Paul's Gospel
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Judith M. Lieu Marcion and the Corruption of Paul’s Gospel Abstract: That Marcion’s authoritative texts were a form of the canonical Gospel of Luke and a Pauline corpus is well established, yet the relationship between these is far less certain. Although it is widely assumed that Marcion identified or authorised his gospel through a reading of Paul’s defence of his gospel in Gal 1–2, this relies heavily on Tertullian who is driven by his own rhetoric and agenda. Tracing the different defences by Irenaeus and Tertullian of the authority of the gospel and of conflict between Paul and Peter alerts us to the complex negotiations involved in the textualization of the early Christian message, and in the attempts to hold together the Pauline revolution and the remembering of Jesus traditions. Marcion represents a different stage in this process, and although we can reconstruct for him a narrative, it is one which is fragmentary and remains allusive. Contemporary attempts to get beyond the rhetoric and special pleading must always be sensitive to the ideological framing that has accompanied narratives of the past from the start.

    Intro to the Bible: Session 4: The New Testament Cannon: Early Heresies 1) The early heresies forced the early church to define core beliefs and the core scriptures. 2) Marcionism a) Marcion was son of the Bishop of Sinope in Pontus, born c. A.D. 110, from wealthy parents. i) He is described as a ship owner. ii) Having fallen out with his father he travels to Rome, (1) Where, being a seafarer or ship owner and a great traveler, (a) He already may have been known (b) His wealth obtains him influence and position. b) Marcion was already a consecrated bishop. i) Probably an assistant or suffragan of his father at Sinope. ii) According to Tertullian he made the Roman community the gift of two hundred thousand sesterces soon after his arrival, a huge sum for those days, (1) The money was returned to him after his breach with the Church. c) Marcion is said to have asked the Roman presbyters the explanation of Matthew 9:16-17, i) Which he evidently wished to understand as expressing the incompatibility of the New Testament with the Old, ii) But they interpreted in an orthodox sense. d) His final breach with the Roman Church occurred in the autumn of 144, e) The Marcionites counted 115 years and 6 months from the time of Christ to the beginning of their sect. f) Justin Martyr in his first Apology (written about 150), describes Marcion's heresy as spread everywhere. i) These half a dozen years seem to many too short a time for such prodigious success and they believe that Marcion was active in Asia Minor long before he came to Rome.
