Welcome to the 72Nd Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society Welcome to the 72nd Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society I am very pleased to offer a personal welcome to this annual meeting. Our theme, “Christianity and Islam,” could scarcely be more relevant and urgent. The Christian encounter with Islam can now be traced through a millennium and a half of engagement. As evangelical scholars, our responsibility is to be ever faithful to Christ and ever more truthful in our commitment to the gospel. We are also called to truth, and to understanding the world around us more accurately and thoughtfully. That certainly includes our understanding of Islam, which has from the beginning represented an enormous challenge to Christian evangelism, apologetics, theology, and cultural engagement. Three evangelical scholars will help us in this task through plenary addresses: Ayman S. Ibrahim, Bill and Connie Jenkins Associate Professor of Islamic Studies and Director of the Jenkins Center for the Christian Understanding of Islam at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, will speak on The Authority and Function of the Quran in Islam. Timothy C. Tennett, President and Professor of World Christianity at Asbury Theological Seminary, will speak on Through the Prism: The Trinity and the Islamic Metanarrative. Thomas S. Kidd, Distinguished Professor of History, James Vardaman Endowed Professor of History, and Associate Director, Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University, will speak on American Christians and Islam: From the Colonial Era to the Post-9/11 World. Another highlight will be the Presidential Address, brought by ETS President Craig S. Kenner, F. M. and Ada Thompson Chair of Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary who will speak on A Mind for the Body. I am very thankful for the devoted work of the ETS staff and leadership. As planning for this meeting began, Michael Thigpen was our Executive Director, and we are thankful for his years of commitment and service. Our new Executive Director, Ken Magnuson is providing excellent leadership for a new era. Bonnie Thigpen, our Meeting Planner, is indispensable. Together, they have demonstrated remarkable commitment and skill in a very diffcult season. As always, we look forward to the presentation of hundreds of other papers and the meeting together of evangelical scholars as the Evangelical Theological Society – every word in that name is signifcant. We are a society, and it distresses us that we cannot be physically together for this annual meeting. We will miss the social dimension of meeting together in one city for several event-flled days. But, I am very thankful for the technology that will enable us to meet together in a different mode. It is no small thing that we are able to hold an annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in the midst of a pandemic. This challenge adds further urgency to our meeting. I want to encourage you to take full advantage of the ability to participate fully in the meeting by digital means. The work of evangelical scholarship goes on, and so must we. Engage with energy, learn with eagerness, encourage younger scholars, support our sponsors, connect and converse as best you can, and help us make history together. We will not meet together in Providence, Rhode Island this year, but we will be meeting by the gracious providence of God. For that, we are thankful. Sincerely, R. Albert Mohler, Jr. ETS President-Elect and Program Chair President and Professor of Christian Theology The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary 1 Monday, November 16th All times listed are EST Virtual Annual Meeting Details The 2020 ETS Annual Meeting will be held November 16-20, with pre-recorded paper presentations available for viewing beginning Monday, November 9th.

Parallel sessions The parallel sessions are composed of fve different session types. P ︎ Program Unit Sessions are a combination of invited papers and proposed presentations which were selected by the program unit steering committees. ETS has three types of program units: Consultations, Study Groups, and Sections. Consultations are new program units which are responsible for one session of invited papers at the annual meeting. Study Groups are narrowly focused groups which require active, collaborative participation by the group members. ETS encourages Study Groups to publish the results of their work. Study groups are responsible for one session of invited papers at the annual meeting. Sections are broadly defned groups that represent general areas of interest. Responsible for one session of invited papers and one session of papers drawn from member submissions, the Sections offer the most access for unsolicited papers. A Afliated Society Sessions feature presentations that were selected and arranged by one of the three societies which join ETS each year: the Evangelical Philosophical Society, the Near East Archaeological Society, and the Adventist Theological Society. D Discipline Specifc Sessions are composed of presentations that were submitted by ETS members and rated by a panel of scholars who served under the direction of the program chair. These presentations have been grouped into basic disciplines: Old Testament, New Testament, Systematic Theology, Church History/Historical Theology, and Practical Theology. T Theme Sessions are composed of presentations submitted by members, which address the conference theme. These presentations were evaluated by a panel of scholars under the direction of the program chair. The theme presentations have been arranged into cohesive sessions based on texts, topics, and methods. 2 Monday, November 16th All times listed are EST Panelist: Aaron Hornkohl* (University of Cambridge) 11:45 AM – 12:35 PM ETS Plenary Session I Ayman S.

DAVID BECK 49 compared to the energy involved in the entire act of, say, raising one's hand to vote. When an engineer throws a switch to release the water behind Hoover Dam, the vast amount of potential energy unleashed by the moving water is overwhelmingly greater than that involved in the engineer throwing the switch. It may be the same with libeliarian acts. Perhaps the energy released in the exercise of active power is miniscule compared to the poten­ tial energy released in the body as part of the relevant causal pathway. I just don't lmow. Second, even if one opts for this second option (the release of energy is virtually undetectable), it doesn't follow that the resulting gap would not be detectable, since the effects of a libertarian act could still be quite different in a "gappy" way from what would have followed in the absence of that act.

  • Trinity, Subordination, and Heresy: a Reply to Mark Edwards
    2020 TheoLogica An International Journal for Philosophy of Religion and Philosophical Theology S. I. CONCILIAR TRINITARIANISM DOI: https://doi.org/10.14428/thl.v4i2.52323 Trinity, Subordination, and Heresy: A Reply to Mark Edwards R. T. MULLINS University of Edinburgh [email protected] Abstract: In this article, I offer some analytic reflections on Mark Edward's paper, "Is Subordinationism a Heresy?" I shall discuss the desiderata for a conciliar Trinitarian theology, the divine essence, and the different notions of subordination that Edwards identifies. Then I shall consider two arguments that certain accepted, conciliar notions of subordination lead to heretical notions of subordination. Thus raising the worry that conciliar Trinitarian theology might involve some internal incoherence between the homoousios doctrine and the subordination of the Son and Holy Spirit to the Father. Keywords: Trinity, subordination, eternal generation, analytic theology Mark Edwards has provided us with an excellent overview of the different notions of Trinitarian subordination throughout parts of church history. Some readers will be surprised to find that certain notions of subordination are affirmed in conciliar Trinitarian thought, whilst others are not. I for one greatly appreciate the clarity that Edwards brings to this issue in his essay. His essay is not intended to be historically exhaustive, but rather offers snapshots into different time periods. Edwards starts his survey with the biblical material before moving on to the debates leading up to the Council of Nicaea, and the continuation of those debates in the aftermath of the Council. After this, Edwards takes a glance at the Protestant Reformation, and then offers an interesting discussion of the Trinitarian thought of John Milton, Ralph Cudworth, and George Bull.

  • The Life- Changing Joke
    WINTER 2020 Our Family Has Grown! 3 Sharing Keys to THE LIFE- True Revival 8 CHANGING Pulled Over! 10 JOKE PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE Norbert Restrepo Our Great High Priest Focusing on Christ’s heavenly sanctuary ministry will draw us closer to Him. he earthly sanctuary was “a shadow of heavenly things.” Hebrews 8:5. Through Tits services the work of Christ as our High Priest and sacrificial Lamb was clearly portrayed. This vision was meant to captivate the minds of God’s people and draw them closer to Him. Let us pause for a moment to recapture that vision. “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Hebrews 2:9. “Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted.” Hebrews 2:17, 18. “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14–16 (emphasis supplied).

  • On Reading the Bible As Scripture, Encountering the Church
    Perichoresis Volume 18.5 (2020): 67–86 DOI: 10.2478/perc-2020-0029 ON READING THE BIBLE AS SCRIPTURE, ENCOUNTERING THE CHURCH * STEVEN NEMES Fuller Theological Seminary ABSTRACT. As an exercise in the ‘theology of disclosure’, the present essay proposes a kind of phenomenological analysis of the act of reading the Bible as Scripture with the goal of bringing to light the theoretical commitments which it implicitly demands. This sort of analysis can prove helpful for the continuing disputes among Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox insofar as it is relevant for one of the principal points of controversy between them: namely, the rela- tionship between Scripture, Tradition, and Church as theological authorities. It proceeds by analyzing both the objective and subjective ‘poles’ of the act, and it illuminates the presence of the Church and her Tradition on both sides. The Church—i.e., the community of God’s peo- ple—is both that which is immediately encountered in the text, as well as the factor which ena- bles scriptural reading in the first place. The article terminates with an application of the in- sights of the preceding discussion to the controversy about icons. KEYWORDS: phenomenology of Scripture, Tradition, Bible, ecclesiology, icons Preliminary Remarks on the Phenomenology of Scripture The quincentenary of the Protestant Reformation invites careful reflection on persistent divisions which characterize Christian existence in the modern world. Though typically the disputes between Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox are often addressed hermeneutically, through the careful inter- pretation of particular critical passages, there is a prior question to be an- swered, one which promises fruit for the resolution of the seemingly inter- minable exegetical debates.

  • Samuel Miller's Pastoral Theology
    Samuel Miller’s Pastoral Theology Posted on April 8, 2015 by Andrew Webb My own first contact with Samuel Miller, Old Princeton’s Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Church Government, came many years ago when I read an essay that had a quote from his “Presbyterianism The Truly Primitive and Apostolical Constitution of the Church of Jesus Christ.” The quote was just a paragraph or two from one of the chapters on worship, entitled bluntly “Presbyterians do not observe Holy Days.” After reading it, I remember being convinced of his position and thinking, I MUST find the rest of this! Eventually, I found a copy of the book from 1840 in the library at Westminster Theological Seminary; and I have to admit, I probably damaged the spine in the process of photocopying the entire work. It was that book, more than anything else I’d read to date, that convinced me of the truth of Old School Presbyterianism. It brought together church history with biblical exposition and a fervent piety, in a way that few men other than Miller have ever been able to. Those who are familiar with the works of Samuel Miller, will probably have noticed that while his works are all very biblical, there is a pronounced bent towards the historical, and towards facts rather than speculation. As John De Witt put it, “he lived intellectually in the sphere of the concrete.” 1 While he understood Reformed theology better than most, and could defend it admirably, he was not a Systematic Theologian like Alexander or Hodge. You can’t read most of his works and even sermons without very quickly beginning to encounter references to Eusebius or Tertullian or Clement.

  • A Conversation with Jonathan Edwards and William Alston
    Towards a Model of Indwelling: A Conversation with Jonathan Edwards and William Alston Ray S. Yeo Carolina Graduate School of Divinity Abstract: In this paper I attempt to provide a model for understanding the theological, psychological and metaphysical dimensions of the Spirit’s indwelling in sanctifying grace by synthesizing Jonathan Edwards’ theological psychology with William Alston’ model of indwelling. However, despite its promise, the Edwards-Alston synthesis faces substantial difficulties associated with a literal and direct union between divinity and humanity. Nevertheless, the difficulties could be avoided if we take the mediatory role of Christ’s humanity more seriously and conceive of indwelling grace as an infusion of Christ’s human unitive drive through the Holy Spirit’s abiding presence within his people. 1. Introduction Central to the thought of Jonathan Edwards is his theologically sophisticated psychology of grace or what is sometimes called his “religious psychology of the heart” (Walton 2002, 5).1 Discussion of this important subject can be found not only in his famous Treatise Concerning Religious Affections but also throughout his vast corpus of writings including his sermons and miscellanies entries. Edwards’ understanding of the psychological functioning of grace may not be entirely original; much of what he says can be found in some form in his Puritan and Protestant forbearers.2 However, his treatment of the subject is unsurpassed in the Puritan literature in terms of the level of precision, thoroughness and systematic sophistication.3 Hence, it remains one of the deepest and most fecund theological psychologies of grace in the Protestant tradition and the heart of his account comes 1 Harold Simonson (2004, 5) claims that the notion of the sense of the heart “summarizes Edwards’s whole system of thought”.
