Sound Learning, Vital Piety: The Life And Legacy Of Charles Hodge, Steve Curtis
Sound Learning, Vital Piety: The Life And Legacy Of Charles Hodge, Steve Curtis
Steve Curtis
On a tombstone north of the campus of Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey, there can be found an epitaph that reads: Charles Hodge Beloved teacher of more than 3000 students He stood for sound learning and vital piety This is the legacy left by one of America’s first full-time academic theologians. It is not unreasonable to suppose that most are familiar with Charles Hodge primarily through his magnum opus, Systematic Theology. This is certainly a significant example of his “sound learning.” Many, however, because of the polemic nature of most of his writings, may not be as conscious of …
What Did Paul Really Mean? A Study Of Paul’S View Of Women In The Church, Steve Curtis
What Did Paul Really Mean? A Study Of Paul’S View Of Women In The Church, Steve Curtis
Steve Curtis
The issue of the role of women in church leadership has become increasingly divisive in modern evangelicalism and has seen strident propagation of polar opposite positions. While many arguments for or against women leadership in the church begin with Old Testament narratives or with the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ interaction with women, all such arguments must, eventually, interact with the writings of the apostle Paul in this regard. Some, of course, dismiss the authenticity (and, therefore, the authority) of much of the Pauline corpus; however, this paper assumes an audience with an orthodox doctrine of the authority of the entire …

The Spirit Of Calvin And The Synod Of Dordt, Steve Curtis
The Spirit Of Calvin And The Synod Of Dordt, Steve Curtis
Steve Curtis
Beginning in November of 1618, in the Dutch city of Dordrecht, the Reformed Church of the Netherlands convened a synod to examine and consider the positions being promoted by a group of pastors and theologians known as the Remonstrants. Chief among the disputed points were the doctrines of soteriology, though there were other, ancillary issues that had developed from this time as well, such as the proper relationship between church and state and church polity. A number of countries sent delegates to the synod which met over 180 sessions. In the end, the Synod denounced the Remonstrance and confirmed the …
The Old Perspective On Second-Temple Judaism: Covenantal Nomism, Justification, And Perseverance, Steve Curtis
The Old Perspective On Second-Temple Judaism: Covenantal Nomism, Justification, And Perseverance, Steve Curtis
Steve Curtis
Beginning with the seminal work of E. P Sanders, Paul and Palestinian Judaism, in 1977, there has been a concerted effort to redefine the Pauline references to the “works of the law” (mentioned explicitly five times in his epistles and implicitly several more times). It is the contention of those in this movement (most notably beside Sanders are James Dunn and N. T. Wright) that the Reformers, in their reaction against the multi-faceted errors of Rome and, particularly, in their defense of the doctrine of sola fide, read too much into Paul, and that first century Judaism in general was, …
Cakes, Rape And Power Games: A Feminist Reading Of Story Of Tamar (1 Samuel 13:1-19, Mussa Muneja
Cakes, Rape And Power Games: A Feminist Reading Of Story Of Tamar (1 Samuel 13:1-19, Mussa Muneja

This paper examines avidly the trends of male power and how it affects negatively the disadvantaged, who are mostly females. It uses the case of Tamar in the Old Testament to make its argument in relevance to people who live in the 2 I" century. The essay employs feminist methods of Biblical interpretation. This is the best assumed approach since it is a woman [Tamar] who was grossly abused sexually by a man [Amnon] to meet political ends. After that, the paper advances to dissect visible and invisible characters as they responded to the rape of Tamar by Amnon. Each …
