Tertullian And The Catechumenate: An Inquiry Into Tertullian's Justification For The North African Catechumenate In The Early Third Century, Loren Kerns
Faculty Publications - Portland Seminary
We live in a world entirely different from that of the early Fathers. This immediately confronts the reader who encounters them for the first time. Their unfamiliar world may both annoy and intrigue the modem student. The culture in which these men and women lived has long since passed away. The Church that they knew and were devoted to has weathered trials that they could have neither foreseen nor imagined. Indeed, the modem reader does not even share their basic presuppositions about the nature of reality. So much is different, yet they experienced an integrity and wholeness virtually unknown today. …
Masculinity And Femininity: Origins And Implications (Chapter Two Of Growing Strong Daughters), Lisa Graham Mcminn
Masculinity And Femininity: Origins And Implications (Chapter Two Of Growing Strong Daughters), Lisa Graham Mcminn
Faculty Publications - Department of World Languages, Sociology & Cultural Studies
Excerpt: "God could have made one sex, but he chose to create two distinct image-bearing creatures. Articulating conclusions about how women and men bear God's image differently is difficult, perhaps because we believe we must first figure out which differences to attribute to environment and which are knitted into our beings at conception."

Review Of James Tunstead Burtchaell's The Dying Of The Light: The Disengagement Of Colleges And Universities From Their Christian Churches, Ken Badley
Faculty Publications - College of Education
The thesis that colleges founded by churches eventually cut the cord and drift into secularity is no longer news in discussions of American higher education. And for that reason, one would hardly expect to enjoy yet another repetition of the thesis, especially one running over 800 pages. But James Burtchaell combines careful scholarship in primary sources such as faculty minutes and institutional histories with unpretentious, witty writing to present a highly readable treatment of the old theme. Many books that follow this thesis focus on the mass exodus of Protestant colleges from their churches in the second half of the …
Navigating The Living Waters Of The Gospel Of John: On Wading With Children And Swimming With Elephants, Paul N. Anderson
Navigating The Living Waters Of The Gospel Of John: On Wading With Children And Swimming With Elephants, Paul N. Anderson
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
The Fourth Gospel has been called "a stream in which a child can wade and an elephant can swim." John has long been used as a primer for newcomers to faith, and it continues to be a favorite devotional reading for young and old alike. On the other hand, John continues to be an ongoing storm center among the finest of Bible scholars and theologians. John's content, complete with its theological tensions, evoked three centuries of debate in the early church, and it continues to produce great torrents of diverse scholarly opinion on a great number of issues into the …

Foreword In George Fox's 'Book Of Miracles', Paul N. Anderson
Foreword In George Fox's 'Book Of Miracles', Paul N. Anderson
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
Most people who are familiar with the writings of George Fox know either his Journal or his letters. Some will have heard of his Book of Miracles, but few will actually have seen a copy of it, as the first two printings of Cadbury's edition were quite small, and until now, copies are found primarily in library collections.
