Pentecostal Theology for the Twenty-First Century PENTECOSTAL THEOLOGY FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY In our post 9/11 world where there is a growing religious fundamentalism, and when both exclusion and easy tolerance are inadequate options, this book offers a creative alternative, arguing that Pentecostalism has the potential to be a peaceful harbinger of plurality. The potential lies in its spirituality – a lively pneumatology and eschatology. The eschatological Spirit is seen as orientated towards the other, crossing boundaries in redemptive embrace, transcending exclusion and easy tolerance. This book’s non-Western perspective and the empirical contextual study of Singapore’s multicultural and multi-faith context are unique contributions to religion and society. This is a book for students, pastors, teachers, and theologians concerned for an approach to mission that is sensitive to their context, who want to learn from a creative theological voice from what has been perhaps the largest religious movement in history, and who see the immense potential in lively theology by Christians of the Chinese diaspora who can speak to the many millions of ethnic Chinese Christians. This book will also appeal to those outside Christianity who are interested in its attempts to engage with a complex multi-ethnic and multi-religious situation such as that in Singapore.

I wish to express my thanks both to those who assisted me in my doctoral work and to those who have helped in turning the dissertation into a book. It is said that behind every great man is a great woman. In my case, behind my accomplishment is an extraordinary and generous man, Derek, my late husband. I owe him the greatest debt. He embraced with generosity of heart and mind his role as an “academic widower”, and sacrificed more than should be asked of any husband, graciously enduring prolonged separation through those three-and-a-half years so that I could pursue my dream of doctoral studies at Cambridge. Without his protective generous love, steadfast support, and limitless patience, I would not have completed my doctoral research successfully. A special and particular debt is owed to my supervisor, Prof. David Ford, not only for his supervision but also for his gift of friendship. His supervision of my research was genuinely enthusiastic, critical, meticulous yet generous, and has provided me with space with which to develop my own theological voice vis-à-vis his own. His enthusiasm has been instrumental in my rediscovery of the richness of my own Pentecostal tradition and my ability to “drink deeply” from its well, for which I am especially grateful. Thanks are also due to my two examiners, Prof. Allan Anderson and Dr Christopher Cocksworth, for their enthusiastic, helpful and generous criticisms. I am also grateful to Prof. Ford, Prof. Anderson and Dr Cocksworth for their encouragement to get my dissertation to publication. Where deficiencies exist in this book, they are solely mine. During my research I have come to appreciate the generosity and friendship of “colleagues from both East and West”. Special thanks are due to Young-Hwan Ra, Jason Lam and Chung-Kwan Park, Ethna Regan, Eolene Boyd-Macmillan, Gemma Simmonds and Josette Zammit-Mangion for providing conditions of support, contexts for theological reflection, conversation, “indwelling the narratives of the other”, and many shared meals together; all of these are intimations of the eschatological joy. I owe a great debt to the Theological Centre for Asia and the Trinity Christian Centre for granting me time off to revise my dissertation for publication. I would be remiss, however, if I did not specifically mention three persons by name. Dr Liew Yoo Kiang, a colleague, was the first to encourage me to contact Ashgate for the publication of my dissertation. Dr Yee Tet Lim, another colleague, has generously given his time, expertise and helpful comments to bring my manuscript ready for publication. Kris Chong Hoi Kiew, my student who serves willingly as my research assistant, has put in many hours of hard work. My thanks are due also to friends, colleagues and students for their encouragement and support.

Biblical Exegesis and the Language of Community in Late Antique and Early Medieval Europe Gerda Heydemann Christians in late antique and early medieval Europe were accustomed to imagining their religious community as a people. The notion of the “chosen people”, the “people of God”, functioned as a governing metaphor for articulat- ing the sense of belonging to a community which was at the same time univer- sal and took multiple local forms, all-encompassing but exclusive in its special bond with God. Christian authors used the vocabulary associated with politi- cal or ethnic communities—populus, plebs, natio or gens—to describe and define their community and its coherence, or to delineate its boundaries. Christians encountered the metaphor of the people of God through their engagement with the text of the Hebrew Bible (“Old Testament”). The Old Testament narratives about Israel as God’s chosen people provided a powerful model for Christian communities. When Christian authors appropriated this model they had to explain the ancient biblical concepts to their contemporary audiences. In doing so, they linked the text of the Bible to the political vocabu- lary of their own present. They not only drew on a common-sense understand- ing of what it meant to belong to a people, but also sometimes explicitly reflected on the range of meanings and the usage of the relevant terminology.

Scott Bartchy, Co-chair Professor Ronald Mellor, Co-chair Prompted by recent research on “example” in the field of Classics, this dissertation sets out to better understand the various ways in which Jewish and Christian authors writing, for the most part, in the Imperial west participated in the ubiquitous Roman discourse of exemplarity as they contended for what they understood to be native ancestral leadership ideals. I first introduce the form, function, and broad popularity of the Roman discourse of exemplarity (chapter 1), and propose five prevailing characteristics of ideal Roman leadership (noble lineage, courage/martial prowess, eloquence, generous patronage, and piety), before testing them on multiple Roman works (chapter 2). ii My project then explores the ways in which both the rhetorical form and moral content of this ancient conversation were appropriated and redeployed in texts celebrating non-Roman ancestral leaders.

  • ABSTRACT Asceticism, the Sage, and the Evil Inclination
    ABSTRACT Asceticism, the Sage, and the Evil Inclination: Points of Contact between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity David W. Pendergrass, Ph.D. Mentor: Daniel H. Williams, Ph.D. In Jewish Christian comparative studies there exists a need to explore in more detail the ways in which Jews and Christians interacted religiously and socially in late antiquity. The thesis of this dissertation is that asceticism, the sociological and religious role of the sage, and the anthropological belief in the evil inclination are three aspects shared between predominate groups of Jews and Christians in late antiquity. So far no scholarship has joined these three, inter-dependent areas in Jewish-Christian comparative studies. Chapter Two examines the ways that Jews and Christians did not utterly “part ways” religiously or socially in late antiquity. Evidence of their interaction can be seen in adversus Iudaeos literature, catechetical material, liturgies, biblical exegetical practices, civic and ecclesial legislation, and various archaeological remains. Chapter Three examines the foundations of Christian asceticism and monasticism, especially in Egypt. This chapter critiques the traditional historical reconstructions of monastic origins, with special attention given to the theory that monasticism was an effort by ascetics to become living martyrs. Finally this chapter discusses how the Sayings are a product of the long tradition of ascetic wisdom made especially popular from the fourth through sixth centuries across the Roman Empire. Chapter Four examines the ways Jewish literature speaks to the practice of asceticism. The chapter is divided into three sections: pre-rabbinic Jewish ascetic practices, rabbinic ascetic practices, and the theological and sociological roles of the sage.

  • Plato, Philo and John—An Exercise in Triangulation1 Inaugural Lecture Lady Margaret’S Chair of Divinity on 19Th February, 2019 George Van Kooten, Cambridge
    THREE SYMPOSIA: Plato, Philo and John—An Exercise in Triangulation1 Inaugural lecture Lady Margaret’s Chair of Divinity on 19th February, 2019 George van Kooten, Cambridge Mister Vice-Chancellor, Head of the School of Arts and Humanities, Mister Chairman of the Faculty Board, Mister President of Clare Hall, Reverend Mister Charles Burch, Representative of the Kirby Laing Foundation, Dear colleagues and students, ladies and gentlemen, I am very grateful for the warm welcome that I have received. This started already in May, after my election, with a symbolic visit to the University Library on the initiative of the chair of the faculty board, Prof Ian McPharland, to see, together with my predecessor, Prof Judith Lieu, the Codex Bezae. This was by kind permission of the University Librarian, Dr Jessica Gardner, and the codex was shown to us by its curator, Dr James Freeman. The Codex Bezae is one of the great extant early codices of the New Testament, a 5th-cent. manuscript, kindly given to Cambridge University by Beza, Calvin’s successor at Geneva, in 1582, in the reign of the last Tudor, Elisabeth I, when (the consequences of) the first Brexit were still taking shape. I mean of course the Brexit of the Anglican Church from Continental Europe, although the imagery might be poor because—as one very senior professor of ecclesiastical history assured me—if they would have put up a referendum on that Brexit, they would have lost. The manuscript was probably given by Beza because it was such an important manuscript of the New Testament, which had only recently been used as a reference text at the Council of Trent (1545-63) but had fallen into Protestant hands, and was now sent by Beza to England to propel and support the protestantization of England.

  • Locating Matthew in Israel
    Locating Matthew in Israel by Roy Allan Fisher A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the Graduate Theological Union in Near Eastern Religions in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Daniel Boyarin, Chair Professor Paul Rabinow Professor Margaret Conkey Professor Jean-François Racine Spring 2018 © Copyright 2018 Roy Allan Fisher All Rights Reserved. Abstract Locating Matthew in Israel by Roy Allan Fisher Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the Graduate Theological Union in Near Eastern Religions University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel Boyarin, Chair “Locating Matthew in Israel” renders visible the Second Temple Jewish ethos of Matthew’s gospel, while at the same time producing a more ethical contemporary scholarly reading of the First Gospel. This inquiry is undertaken without recourse to the arborescent and epochal framings that characterize most scholarly inquiries of Matthew. Drawing on an eclectic mix of conversation partners – including the works of Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Bertolt Brecht – this reading begins the progress of remediating the epochal blockage pervasive in Matthaean studies through the introduction of the off-epochal. By off-setting epoch, new possibilities and space are opening in this reading. “Locating Matthew in Israel” demonstrates that Matthew’s composition is best described as Torah-formed. Additionally, this close reading centers on three key divine presence passages (Matthew 1:23; 18:20; 28:20) to provide an alternative non- incarnational figuration of Jesus. Functionally, Matthew’s bricolage presents Jesus as Torah-transfigured not as the incarnate logos.
