Preaching The David Story, Rolf A. Jacobson
Preaching The David Story, Rolf A. Jacobson
Faculty Publications
The David story is the longest and most complete biblical treatment of any one human life. This allows the story to speak to many stages of the faith journey. The story is not fully present in the pericopes, but the preacher can choose to use this material in a sermon series to address the spiritual and moral contexts of our age.

Was The Chronicler A Spin Doctor?: David In The Books Of Chronicles, Mark A. Throntveit
Was The Chronicler A Spin Doctor?: David In The Books Of Chronicles, Mark A. Throntveit
Faculty Publications
Yes, the Chronicler was a spin doctor—but a necessary one. He used the David story to address the needs of his postexilic community who questioned the value of God’s old promises to David in this new time of Persian domination, without a king, worshiping in a temple that was the mere shadow of Solomon’s glorious edifice.
"By The Dawn's Early Light": The Flag, The Interrogative, And The Whence And Whither Of Normative Patriotism, Gary M. Simpson
"By The Dawn's Early Light": The Flag, The Interrogative, And The Whence And Whither Of Normative Patriotism, Gary M. Simpson
Faculty Publications
Francis Scott Key, Abraham Lincoln, Emma Lazarus, and Martin Luther King Jr. define a normative American patriotism that embraces self-interrogation; equality, hope, and repentance; worldwide welcome; and justice and solidarity. In the aftermath of 9/11 can such patriotism now proceed to civic internationalism or will it resort to the internationalism of empire?
Denying Self, Bearing A Cross, And Following Jesus: Unpacking The Imperatives Of Mark 8:34, Matthew L. Skinner
Denying Self, Bearing A Cross, And Following Jesus: Unpacking The Imperatives Of Mark 8:34, Matthew L. Skinner
Faculty Publications
As we journey soon into the new beginnings of post-Labor Day autumn, what will it mean to deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Jesus? More, certainly, than giving up a few things; more than suffering as part of the human condition; more than moving forward on new paths—peering into autumn’s transitions, we belong to another.
Living As Gods On Our Skin: The Vigil Of Pentecost And Pentecost Sunday (John 7:37-39), David E. Fredrickson
Living As Gods On Our Skin: The Vigil Of Pentecost And Pentecost Sunday (John 7:37-39), David E. Fredrickson
Faculty Publications
What will it mean to “thirst” for Jesus? The “thirst” spoken of in John 7 is much more passionate than we have been trained to imagine. Thirst brings about fantasy. Fantasy takes me out of my everyday existence and opens me to the possibility that things are not as they appear to be.

Marriage On Tv, Mary E. Hess
Marriage On Tv, Mary E. Hess
Faculty Publications
While it is important for teachers of religion to consider how television portrays marriage, it may be even more important to consider how we use television and how we help people engage the media with critical perception. People of faith need to do a cultural intervention, providing a deep and sustaining vision of what marriage can be over time and in connection with community.
