Some Reflections On The Field Of Sermon Studies, Robert Ellison Aug 2018

Some Reflections On The Field Of Sermon Studies, Robert Ellison

Robert Ellison

Multidisciplinary endeavours with the word ‘studies’ in their names have brought like-minded scholars together for over sixty years. Those specializing in certain parts of the world, for example, can join the North American Conference on British Studies (founded in 1950), the British Association for American Studies (1955), the African Studies Association (1957), or a host of other groups. Similarly, organisations for scholars interested in specific time periods include the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies (1983), the Society for Renaissance Studies (1967) and the European Network for Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies. Finally, students of politics, gender and other aspects …

Theological Foundations Of Pastoral Care In Catholic Universities, Thomas V. Gourlay Apr 2018

Theological Foundations Of Pastoral Care In Catholic Universities, Thomas V. Gourlay

Thomas V. Gourlay

One defining element of life in any Catholic educational institution, whether it be primary, secondary, or tertiary, is the focus on pastoral care for staff and students. This paper provides a distinctly Catholic definition of the term ‘pastoral care’ and briefly examines the theological foundations that underpin this concept, particularly, in relation to its application in the Catholic university. The paper traces the motif of pastoral care through the Scriptures and, building on insights from St. Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Constitution on Catholic Universities, Ex Corde Ecclesiae (1990) and the broader theological anthropology of the Vatican II Council. The …

When it comes to theological discussion concerning the day of the Lord's return, theologians and pastors will rebuke any theology concerning knowledge of the day of the rapture of the church. This paper rebukes the rebuker, because they have not exercised proper hermeneutics, when countering a theological perspective concerning knowing the day of the Lord's return, as well as the rapture.

A Scholarly Comparison Between Jesus Christ And Melchizedek.Pdf, Charles Sabo Feb 2018

A Scholarly Comparison Between Jesus Christ And Melchizedek.Pdf, Charles Sabo

Charles Sabo

In order to properly compare Jesus Christ to the Biblical Melchizedek, one needs to first investigate the historical person of Melchizedek. Because theologians only want to rely on the Bible for their theological perspectives, they fail to perform a proper exegesis of the biblical text, by not referring to the historical data available to them from reliable sources outside of the Bible. There are ancient history books available to review, in order to bring a more contextualized perspective; this can provide the proper hermeneutics for a more thorough and accurate interpretation of the Scriptures.

A Divine Selection: An Exegetical Analysis Of Vocational Calling, Timothy Nguyen Dec 2017

A Divine Selection: An Exegetical Analysis Of Vocational Calling, Timothy Nguyen

Timothy Nguyen

Within Christian circles, the ‘calling’ of the vocational minister is frequently abused and misunderstood and muddled by the lack of Scriptural evidence for the overused term. The focus of this research is to observe first, the current cultural climate surrounding the nature of calling, and second, to compare this understanding to the authoritative Scriptural teaching on the subject in both the Old and New Testaments. This analysis reveals that the “internal” vocational call to minister is absent from the Bible and must be replaced by an alternative the Scripture directly teaches. It is concluded that God gives man the desire …
