Gillespie is President of Prin- ceton Theological Seminary and author of Knowledge of God The First Theologians: A Study in Early Christian Prophecy. He gave this by Thomas W. Gillespie Opening Convocation Address in Miller Chapel on September 12, 1995. ATHAN Pusey, when president of Harvard, allegedly commented that the Nreason why the university is such an enormous reservoir of knowledge is that the entering class brings so much of it in and the graduates take so little out. Humor aside, institutions of higher learning are rich resources of knowledge. Seminaries differ only in the sense that we claim theological knowledge — the knowledge of God. And, like a university, the seminary engages in an educational program that entails both academic incomes and outcomes. My topic this evening, derived from the Letter to the Colossians (1:10), concerns the seminary as a resource of the knowledge of God that makes possible growth between what students bring in and what they take out. I The truth is, as Pusey noted, entering students do bring a great deal of knowledge with them into a college classroom. This is no less true of those in a new class of seminarians. You bring with you a remarkable amount of theological knowledge. I am not thinking now only of the few who come with baccalaureate majors or minors in religious studies. I have in mind all who are here as believers in Jesus Christ and members of his church, who know God in faith because of a Christian home or a nurturing congregation or a parachurch ministry. I mean that knowledge of God learned through lessons taught in Sunday School, hymns sung and sermons heard in divine worship, as well as scriptures read and experiences shared at summer camps. What I am focusing on is that knowledge of God that informs your belief in God and motivates your desire to serve God. It may not have academic credentials (yet), but it enjoys a privileged place in your minds and hearts. It is why you are here, and I wish to affirm its importance. Many people in the churches suffer from the illusion that it is the seminary that determines what ministers believe about God and the things of God. After all, the logic runs, doctors go to medical school to learn medicine, and lawyers go to law school to learn the law. So also, ministers go to seminary to learn theology. What is overlooked in this logic is the fact that seminary 2 THE PRINCETON SEMINARY BULLETIN students begin theological studies with a knowledge of their subject matter that is more personal and more passionate than is typical of their counterparts in medical and law schools. The knowledge of God concerns who we are and not merely what we hope to do. People in their right minds do not enroll in seminary without knowing God before they begin their course of studies. This existential knowledge of God that students bring with them into seminary is already ideologically shaped or doctrinally formed. You have already thought about the God to whom you pray and sing. Confessions of faith have been made. Convictions are molded. And this is both a blessing and 2 a bane. The upside is that it gives faith its vertebrate structure and provides a basis for theological development. The downside is that uncritical loyalty to what you now think can hinder the very growth in the knowledge of God that is essential to a theological education and a life in ministry.

TOBEY Executive Editor, Princeton Theological Review Who am I to be a witness? Who are you? How can we even dream of being heard when addressing this wide world overcome by complexities, needs, doubts, and suffering? For Karl Barth, the answer is simple. He writes, “The point is, in general terms, that only on the lips of a man who is himself affected, seized and committed, controlled and nourished, unsettled and settled, comforted and alarmed by it, can the intrinsically true witness of the act and revelation of God in Jesus Christ have the ring and authority of truth which applies to other [humans]” (Church Dogmatics IV/3.2, 657). Darrell Guder is such a person, one whose witness is made indelibly clear as Christ’s compassion and conviction simultaneously shine through him. As he retires from his post as the Henry Winters Luce Professor of Missional and Ecumenical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, it is the great privilege of the editors at the Princeton Theological Review to present this issue in his honor.

  • THE DIVINE PERFECTION of OMNIPRESENCE in the THEOLOGY of KARL BARTH the Reverend Elizabeth Jarrell
    A THEOLOGY OF SPATIALITY: THE DIVINE PERFECTION OF OMNIPRESENCE IN THE THEOLOGY OF KARL BARTH The Reverend Elizabeth Jarrell Callender A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. 1 July 2011 Abstract Throughout its history, the Christian Church has commonly assumed that God’s own being or nature is the opposite of ours. Human existence is conditioned by the spatial and temporal order of creation, so God is thought to be a-spatial and eternal. Yet this does not account adequately for the biblical witness concerning God. Karl Barth radically claims that God is not merely spatial but that God has His own space and even is His own space. Barth bases this assertion upon an actualistic epistemology instead of the metaphysical framework grounding much of the Christian Church’s conceptualizations of God. Barth defines spatiality as a characteristic way of lovingly and freely being personally present with another distinct being in a rightly ordered relation. Beyond the discussion on the perfection of omnipresence, Barth does not directly develop this perfection further. However, his theology of spatiality underlies much of his theology, evident in his use of spatial language. Additionally, apparently lacking in Barth studies or elsewhere is a comprehensive theology of space or spatiality that begins by concretely considering God’s own space and His perfection of spatiality. This thesis aims to develop an actualistic theology of spatiality through an expositional exploration of the spatiality of the triune God in the theology of Karl Barth, primarily from his Church Dogmatics.
