The Universal Tradition And The Clear Meaning Of Scripture: Benjamin Keach’S Understanding Of The Trinity, Jonathan W. Arnold
The Universal Tradition And The Clear Meaning Of Scripture: Benjamin Keach’S Understanding Of The Trinity, Jonathan W. Arnold
Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications
Leading Particular Baptist theologian Benjamin Keach (1640-1704) came to prom-inence just as an antitrinitarian theology native to England gained a stronghold. What had pre-viously been deemed off-limits by the Establishment became a commonplace by the end of the seventeenth century based on a strict biblicism that eschewed the extra-biblical language of trin-itarian orthodoxy. As one who considered himself a strong biblicist, Keach deftly maneuvered his theological writings between what he saw as two extremes: the one that refused to consider any language that moved beyond the mere words of scripture, represented by many of his Gen-eral Baptist contemporaries and the …

Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications
What are good sexual acts? It is not that surprising when cultural voices, without reference to God, argue for the inherent goodness of all “unharmful” sexual desires and acts. Regrettably, ethical pragmatism has influenced some Christian sexual ethics, and this influence is particularly evident with the issue of masturbation. What God defines as good sexual acts are those that fulfill his unitive and procreative purposes for sex within marriage. Given God’s unitive and procreative purposes for sex within the context of marriage, we argue that masturbation is a categorically impermissible act because it fulfills neither of these purposes, and we …

Muslim Insider Ecclesiology: Does Insider Movement Contextualization Produce Biblically Fatheful Churches Or A Mere Mosquerade?, Matthew A. Bennett
Muslim Insider Ecclesiology: Does Insider Movement Contextualization Produce Biblically Fatheful Churches Or A Mere Mosquerade?, Matthew A. Bennett
Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications
Contextualization is fundamentally the process of communicating the unchanging message of the Gospel within the changing contexts of the world. Until Christ returns, contextualization will always be an aspect of the missionary task. One contemporary approach to contextualization, the Insider Movement, has risen to the fore of missiological discussion due to its controversial embrace of existing religious forms and identities as potential conduits of biblical truth. Insider Movement advocates working among Muslims teach that one can remain identified socio-religiously as a Muslim while still faithfully following Jesus as savior. While the past two decades have played host to multiple layers …
Christ In The Scripture Of Islam: Remnantal Revelation Or Irredeemable Imposter?, Matthew A. Bennett
Christ In The Scripture Of Islam: Remnantal Revelation Or Irredeemable Imposter?, Matthew A. Bennett
Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications
The Qur’an endorses and reveres Jesus, providing Christian missionaries with communicative traction as they can lean into a shared Messiah. Or does it? This article compares the qur’anic Jesus (‘Isa) and the biblical Jesus (Yasua‘) in order to investigate whether or not the apparent similarity extends beyond superficial similarities. By employing Daniel Strange’s categories of “remnantal revelation” and “subversive fulfillment” as a helpful heuristic for assessment, this article contends that the two Jesus characters are not compatible. In fact, the Qur’an’s use of ‘Isa appears to be an attempt to subvert the message and work of the biblical Yasua‘. As …

Finishing The Task? A Cautionary Analysis Of Missionary Language, Matthew A. Bennett
Finishing The Task? A Cautionary Analysis Of Missionary Language, Matthew A. Bennett
Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, technological advances and transportation opportunities have made it conceivable for the first time in history that a single generation of Christians might be able to both access and evangelize all of the world’s peoples. To this end, missionary agencies have employed mottos such as “Finish the Task” to rally Christians to complete the work of world evangelization. Often such efforts are connected to Matt 24:14 where Jesus promises that the gospel of the kingdom will be preached to all nations before the eschaton. Such mottos imply that the missionary task is coterminous with …
Nehemiah’S New Shadow: Reading And Rereading The Ezra-Nehemiah Narrative, Ched E. Spellman
Nehemiah’S New Shadow: Reading And Rereading The Ezra-Nehemiah Narrative, Ched E. Spellman
Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications
Ezra-Nehemiah is sometimes interpreted as a positive portrayal of the return of Israel from exile. Ezra 1 begins with a prophetic expectation of return and restoration. However, the conclusion of the book in Nehemiah 13 emphasizes that although the people have rebuilt the temple, restored the walls, and repopulated Jerusalem, they have still failed to keep the demands of the Mosaic covenant. The sober tone of this final chapter prompts a rereading of the narrative as a whole. Rereading the book in light of the conclusion highlights a distinct pattern of tensions throughout the story. A central textual strategy of …

Living with cancer is associated with significant psychological strain. The prevalence and severity of this distress varies according to the time, type, and stage of cancer, as well as other variables including treatment regimen, side effects, and prognosis. More often than not, these struggles are neglected as part of the traditional cancer care plan. Yet, if left unaddressed, emotional strain can add to the suffering caused by cancer by negatively affecting treatment compliance. Faith communities, such as churches, provide an ideal atmosphere to serve and support individuals battling cancer. However, research indicates that spiritual care is often a neglected component …

The Scribe Who Has Become A Disciple: Identifying And Becoming The Ideal Reader Of The Biblical Canon, Ched E. Spellman
Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Publications
The literary notion of “implied reader” invokes a series of hermeneutically significant questions: What is it? Who produces it? and How can it be identified? These questions naturally lead to a further query: What is the relationship between this implied reader of a text and an actual reader of a text? This type of study is often associated primarily with reader-response theory and purely literary approaches. However, the concept can help uncover an often-neglected aspect of biblical interpretation, namely, the role of the reader. If biblical authors envision certain types of readers, then identifying the nature of this “implied audience” …
