The church’s importance has waned in national, cultural and intellectual life. Christian faith doesn’t mean anything to vast numbers of people. In this situation, instead of creating an alternative community, we simply and unwittingly mirror the majority community. Like Judah in Jeremiah’s day, we are on the way to exile. We are a well-fed prison camp. We have everything we need materially . .. but inside we are isolated and empty Jeremiah says there’s a reason for Judah’s decline. God sees her as having given up on the gospel. I remember the devotion o f your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness. But when the people got into the promised land, they turned away from Yahweh. They did not say, “Where is Yahweh, who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us in the wilderness . into a plentiful land to eat its fruits and its good things[?]” They forgot the story of what God had done for them. The Sacrifice They had also given up on God’s written word. The priests did not say, “Where is Yahweh?” The people who handle the Father and son walked side by side Teaching, the Torah, did not acknowledge me.

We want to escape the inescapable by refusing to deal with the realities of a broken world, a world that says, “You by Dr. Al Dueck are just a step away from death.” When I listen to the way the war in Iraq is covered, I realize For weeks the pots have slept that the media makes little distinction between the war and a Super on their shelf waiting.

  • HISTORICAL JESUS” but NO BIBLICAL CHRIST (Part 2): Evangelical Participation in the Search for the “Historical Jesus”
    MSJ 24/1 (Spring 2013) 25–67 THREE SEARCHES FOR THE “HISTORICAL JESUS” BUT NO BIBLICAL CHRIST (Part 2): Evangelical Participation in the Search for the “Historical Jesus” F. David Farnell, Ph.D. Professor of New Testament The Master’s Seminary This is the second of a two-part series surveying the ongoing search for the “historical Jesus” that has been conducted the last 250 years. This article covers the growing, as well as alarming, evangelical participation in this quest. Central to the evangelical participation is the concept of postmodernist historiography where “probability” is the best that can be asserted about key Gospel events, while judgment about the historicity of other events in the Gospels must be suspended if they cannot be demonstrated through subjective application of criteria of authenticity. The number four (4) looms strategic in the difference between many evangelicals and liberals, for Part One of this series showed that while E. P. Sanders held to 8 events that may have probability in the Gospels, evangelical participants in the search hold to 12 key Gospel events that have “probability” of occurrence. ***** Introduction: Does the Evangelical Search for the “Historical Jesus” Demonstrate the Modernist-Fundamentalist Battle of History Repeating Itself? A wise old saying has warned, “Those who do not learn from the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.” Does history repeat itself? Pondering this question is important for current evangelical Gospel discussions, especially in reference to modern Gospel research. In terms of searching for the “historical Jesus,” history has repeated itself at least two, if not three, times as catalogued in Part One.

  • Redaction Criticism of the Synoptic Gospels: Its Role in the Inerrancy Debate Within North American Evangelicalism
    REDACTION CRITICISM OF THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS: ITS ROLE IN THE INERRANCY DEBATE WITHIN NORTH AMERICAN EVANGELICALISM by RANDOLPH TERRANCE MANN submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY in the subject NEW TESTAMENT at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: M T SPECKMAN JUNE 2007 I hereby declare that with the exception of the sources duly acknowledged in the text, this thesis is the original work of the author, and has never before been submitted to this or any other university for examination purposes. __________________________ Name Date ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sense of gratitude and thankfulness for the many who assisted and helped me in this endeavour. Many faithfully prayed for me as I sought to preserve in bringing this work to completion and I am thankful for the encouragement of those in the congregations I served as pastor during this period of time. The dear saints at both Bowmanville Baptist Church and Ajax Alliance Church, not only encouraged me in word and prayer but also provided me on several occasions an opportunity to devote a full week to writing when I desperately needed to complete work on specific chapters. My wife, my three children and I had the distinct pleasure of having my initial supervisor, Prof R Lemmer and his wife visit and stay with us in London, Ontario when I was in the initial stages of my doctoral program. It brings back pleasant memories as I recall our conversations about our differing cultures. Prof Dr Lemmer was a constant source of encouragement especially when I lagged behind in making significant progress and when I had doubts as to whether I should continue on in the program, although he did not know about my doubts.

Alexander, Second Reader J. Warren Smith, D.Min Director Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry in the Divinity School of Duke University 2017 ABSTRACT Towards a Reconciling Church in South Africa by Ralph Pieter du Plessis Duke Divinity School Duke University Date: 8/3/2017 Approved: William H. Willimon, Supervisor Paul R. Alexander, Second Reader J. Warren Smith, D.Min Director An abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry in the Divinity School of Duke University 2017 Copyright by Ralph Pieter du Plessis 2017 Abstract This paper seeks to locate the church as a role player in the ongoing discussion around reconciliation within the South African context. Seeing as reconciliation is understood and applied in different ways by different sectors of society, the paper starts by establishing a Biblical understanding on the subject. This is done by identifying central New Testament texts which it sees as primarily occurring in the Pauline corpus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Romans 5:8-11, Ephesians 2:13-16, and Colossians 1:15-23). The paper then turns to consider the possible contributions Pentecostal theology makes available to this discussion, focusing on eschatology, the empowerment of the Spirit, and social concern. The paper then contextualizes the conversation by considering the South African context, with focus given to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of 1996.
