  • Female Preaching in Early Nineteenth-Century America by Catherine A
    20 Copyright 2009 The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University Female Preaching in Early Nineteenth-Century America BY CATHERINE A. BREKUS In the Second Great Awakening more than one hundred women crisscrossed the country as itinerant preachers, holding meetings in barns, schools, or outside in fields. They were the first group of women to speak publicly in America. Why have virtually all of them been forgotten? ome argued that she was “bold and shameless,” a disgrace to her fami- ly and to the evangelical movement. Others insisted that she was the S“instrument of God,” a humble woman who had given up everything for Christ. Few women in early nineteenth-century America provoked more admi- ration, criticism, and controversy than Harriet Livermore. She was the daughter of a congressman and the grand-daughter of a senator, but after an emotional conversion experience, she renounced her privileged life in order to become a female preacher. Reputed to be a gifted evangelist who was also a beautiful singer, she became so popular that she was allowed to preach in front of Congress four times between 1827 and 1844, each time to huge crowds. According to a Washington newspaper, more than a thousand people assembled in the Hall of Representatives to hear her preach in 1827, and hundreds more gathered outside to catch a glimpse of her. President John Quincy Adams had to sit on the steps leading up to her feet because he could not find a free chair. Harriet Livermore was the best-known female preacher of her day, but she was part of a larger community of evangelical women, both white and African-American, who claimed to have been divinely inspired to preach Female Preaching in Early Nineteenth-Century America 21 the gospel.

  • Defending the 2520
    Defending the 2520 “The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us. Those who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. The contest is between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. In this time the gold will be separated from the dross in the church. True godliness will be clearly distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it. Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will then go out in darkness. Chaff like a cloud will be borne away on the wind, even from places where we see only floors of rich wheat. All who assume the ornaments of the sanctuary, but are not clothed with Christ's righteousness, will appear in the shame of their own nakedness.” Testimonies to the Church, vol. 5 page 81 The above warning should weigh heavily on our minds during these final hours we spend here on this earth. We are called over and over again, in the Bible and the inspired writings of Ellen G. White, to study the word of God for ourselves but sadly we live in a world of ease and entertainment and little time is devoted to personal study. “We are to receive the word of God as supreme authority. We must accept its truths for ourselves, as our own individual act.

  • Psychotherapy with Seventh-Day Adventists
    PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH SEVENTH0DAY ADVENTISTS CAROLE A. RAYBURN The world, though fallen, is not all sorrow and misery. In nature itself are messages of hope and comfort. There are flowers upon the thistles, and the thorns are covered with roses. -Ellen G. White The Seventh-day Adventist Church dates from the Millerite move- ment of the mid-1800s. Conservative on most matters of morality and ethics, it is one of the few Christian denominations to have begun in North America. Also, it is one of the few denominations to have a woman as one of its founders. With its belief in the Protestant tradition, Seventh- day Adventism has conservative standards and practices concerning dress, dietary habits, abstinence from sex outside marriage, smoking and drinking alcohol, and in selection of certain types of entertainment. The 1998 Yearbook published by the General Conference of Seventh- day Adventists notes that the worldwide membership of the Church is 9,470,718 people and 4,682 churches. With 865,187 members in North America, the largest concentration of Seventh-day Adventists (SDAs) is in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Hawaii. The second largest con- centration is in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and the third largest in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Ohio. A smaller number of SDAs reside in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, and Bermuda (General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, 1998). 21 1 The world conference of Seventh-day Adventists, the General Con- ference, is in Silver Spring, Maryland. The General Conference president meets with and advises church leaders from the 12 divisions of the Church (such as the North American Division), unions (made up of conferences or fields within a larger territory), and local conferences (comprised of churches within various cities).

George Fry and John M. Drickamer As Lutheranism enters the 1980's some theologians are already suggesting that the denominational "battle for the Bible" waged with such fervor in the 1970's was really a "departure from mainstream classical Protestantism." These scholars contend that "the Scripture ruckus" was caused either by "the importation of Fundamentalism into Lutheranism" or else it was "a peculiar distortion wrought by modern Missouri." Such opinions could hardly be further from the truth. Lest this view gain undue credence, we believe it is helpful to indicate that Lutheranism, when it has been true to its tradition, has always had a high regard for the Scriptures as the Word of God. Such a conviction, furthermore, was, in former times, not limited primarily to the Missouri and Wisconsin Synods. It was nearly universal among America's Lutheran bodies. An illustration of this thesis can be found by looking at the doctrine of Biblical authority in the theology of Henry Eyster Jacobs, a major Lutheran theologian of the start of this century, who had no organic connection with either of the Midwest Lutheran Synods that today uphold a "high view" of the Bible.

  • Donald Guthrie, "Biblical Authority and New Testament Scholarship,"
    Donald Guthrie, “Biblical Authority and New Testament Scholarship,” Vox Evangelica 16 (1986): 7- 25. Biblical Authority and New Testament Scholarship The Laing Lecture for 1985 Donald Guthrie [p.7] There can be no doubt that the subject of biblical authority is an important theme, perhaps the most important theme that faces the Christian church today. But the question of its meaning is confused because of the lack of precision with which the term is used. Indeed many scholars from widely differing schools of thought claim the authority of the Bible, but clearly mean different things by the same term. Our primary task must be to comment on the nature of biblical authority before discussing the various attitudes of contemporary New Testament scholars towards it.1 The basic idea behind authority is that of relationship. Before it can become a reality there must be one to exert authority and others to accept it. Such authority can exist in a derived sense in impersonal enactments, as for example in laws, but the real power rests in the executives who frame them and the enforcement officers whose task it is to ensure that they are kept and to punish offenders. Only in a limited sense can we speak of authority vested in statutes. This is an important consideration when we attempt to define biblical authority.2 Whereas it may appear that we are attributing authority to a book, which has given rise to the charge of bibliolatry, the Bible possesses authority only by virtue of its origin, ie by the authority of God.

  • Biblical Authority in Recent Evangelical Books
    321 Biblical Authority in Recent Evangelical Books Lee Gatiss Three recent books by leading evangelical Anglican scholars all address the issUe of the Bible’s aUthority. This article will review and analyse the approach taken in each of these works by writers John Stott, Alister McGrath, and James Packer. Each book will be examined in tUrn, followed by a brief conclUsion. John Stott, Evangelical Truth: A Personal Plea for Unity This book is conscioUsly strUctUred aroUnd the Trinity. The central chapters reflect Stott’s initial insistence that evangelical priorities shoUld be limited to: ‘the revealing initiative of the God the Father, the redeeming work of God the Son, and the transforming work of God the Holy Spirit.’ 1 This Trinitarian strUctUre is more a presentational device than a theological statement aboUt the Trinity. The place of the Son and the Spirit in the work of revelation are not ignored, and revelation is not seen as the work of the Father alone. 2 Stott’s discUssion of revelation begins by acknowledging that ‘[t]he primary qUestion in every religion relates to the topic of authority ,’ and seeks to answer the qUestion, ‘Why do evangelicals attribUte authority to ScriptUre?’ 3 This he answers with reference to three key words: revelation, inspiration, and aUthority. Some discUssion of perspicUity, sUfficiency, and inerrancy is also added after these major headings, bUt Stott’s concern is with qUestions of aUthority rather than with qUestions of epistemology: not how we know God bUt why we obey ScriptUre. The argUment is cUmUlative: ‘BecaUse ScriptUre is the revelation of God by the inspiration of the Spirit, it has aUthority over Us.’ 4 After establishing from ScriptUre 5 that God’s self-revelation is necessary if we are to know him, he considers foUr categories of revelation: general, special, progressive, and personal.

King 1 The Uneasy Pulpit: Carl Henry, the Authority of the Bible and Expositional Preaching Kevin King 1 Evangelical identity has been and continues to be something of a challenge to define clearly. One might think that with the founding of the National Evangelical Association (1942) and the Evangelical Theological Society (1949) that issues regarding modern evangelical identity would have long been settled. Unfortunately, that has not been the case and apparently still is not. In 1976, Carl Henry wrote a book entitled Evangelicals in Search of Identity . In this book, Henry addressed the missed and lost opportunities of the evangelical movement that threatened evangelicalism with becoming “a wilderness cult in a secular society” by the year 2000. 2 What had looked so promising in the early 1950s for the rising influence of evangelicalism in the United States when Henry characterized the movement, as a lion that had been too long in his cage, and now was ready to burst upon the American scene with a terrible roar and unsuspecting power, was little more, in the late 1970’s, than a lion that was on the loose that no one had to fear.

  • The Authority of the New Testament
    CHAPTER XVII THE AUTHORITY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT Robin Nixon I. Introduction The problems of the interpretation and the authority of the New Testa­ ment have always been closely related. It has been possible to profess accep­ tance of New Testament authority but to use such a system of interpretation that the New Testament itself becomes secondary and its message never bursts out spontaneously and freely but is allowed to run only along careful­ ly guarded canals. So different schools of thought within the church have argued for hundreds of years about the right method to use and about which methods are most true to the New Testament itself. 1 We have now moved into a much more fluid situation in theological debate than there has perhaps ever been before. Previously the lines of battle were more or less clearly drawn. There were accepted norms, even if different interpretation of those norms, and Scripture, church and reason battled with each other for the last word. In the last few years however two particular factors have changed the whole scene. First there is the growth of religious pluralism. This has many implications, and in some cases involves the denial of the uniqueness of Christianity, while in others it means that the Bible or the New Testament are not treated as norms. Related to this is the growth of ecumenism. Even where churches or individual Christians have not been concerned with denominational union schemes, they can no longer fail to be aware that ways of approaching the Bible can no longer run along purely denominational lines.
