Negotiating Identity: Exploring Tensions Between Being Hakka And Being Christian In Northwestern Taiwan, Henry Rowold Sep 2015

Negotiating Identity: Exploring Tensions Between Being Hakka And Being Christian In Northwestern Taiwan, Henry Rowold

Concordia Journal

Christofferson speaks of the Hakka people, he prefers more malleable descriptors such as “being Hakka” or “doing things in the Hakka way.” This, in turn, expresses the frustration Christofferson felt in his own ministry, working hard for fluency in the Hakka language, but discovering that not all of the Hakka he was speaking to were as comfortable in, or even loyal to, the ancestral language.

A Lighthearted Book Of Common Errors. By Don Hoeferkamp, Francis Rossow

Concordia Journal

Helpful as well as humorous is the author’s occasional practice of deliberately committing an error even as he simultaneously corrects it, thereby putting literacy and illiteracy side by side to facilitate the learning process.

Implications Of Brain Research For The Church:What It Means For Theology And Ministry By Allen Nauss, Bruce Hartung

Concordia Journal

It is certainly true that “seminaries and the church’s clergy in the field can certainly become more effective in their ministry as they combine emotion with cognition, work to balance the activity of both hemispheres, become aware of their biases and the virtues of Christ’s model, develop their empathy, translate their theology into meaning, and apply it in their worship and their lives”

Blood And Life: Sermons On The Old Testament By Michael Kasting, Francis Rossow Sep 2015

Blood And Life: Sermons On The Old Testament By Michael Kasting, Francis Rossow

Concordia Journal

Kasting’s sermons do more than delight—they are “the power of God for our salvation.” I sometimes quip to my homiletics students, “Anyone can write an occasional good sermon; the trick is to write a good sermon time after time.”

How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation Of A Jewish Preacher From Galiee By Bart Ehrman, John Genter Sep 2015

How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation Of A Jewish Preacher From Galiee By Bart Ehrman, John Genter

Concordia Journal

The key is to avoid letting the analogies steamroll the critical differences. This is what goes wrong in the opening chapters of How Jesus Became God. More attention is due to the actual religious life of the relevant practitioners in everyday life.
