Killing And Making Alive As The Vital Work Of The Spirit In Preaching According To Martin Luther, Peter Kirby
Master of Sacred Theology Seminar Papers
The Protestant Reformation involved a recovery of just this distinction between primary and secondary discourse, and not only the distinction, but the priority of "primary" discourse, that is, the necessity of Gospel as the Word that forgives in the here and now.
Christology In Africa: Work In Progress, Carl Rockrohr
Christology In Africa: Work In Progress, Carl Rockrohr
Master of Sacred Theology Seminar Papers
Can Jesus Christ be preached, teached and confessed only through the worldviews, philosophies and languages of the writers of the Nicene and Chalcedonian creeds? Can Christology be faithfully understood only from traditional Western perspectives? Now in the life of the Christian church in Africa at the end of 20th century, this is a question being addressed by a variety of African Christian theologians.

Christology And The Cleansing Of The Temple: Integrating Biblical And Dogmatic Theology, Gerhard Bode
Master of Sacred Theology Seminar Papers

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the integration of dogmatic and biblical theology, specifically demonstrating how the findings of biblical theology can be implemented by dogmatic theology to enhance the understanding of the person and work of Christ.
