Esuchando Al Oyente Hispano(A)/Latino(A) Del Sermón El Los Eeuu, Danny Román-Gloro
The Asbury Journal
Este ensayo presenta los resultados de un estudio etnográfico sobre la predicación entre la comunidad Hispana/Latina de los EEUU. El estudio exploró el evento de la predicación desde la perspectiva del oyente. En los EEUU el oyente Hispano(a)/Latino(a) del sermón representa un grupo único de individuos que tienen una experiencia particular de la predicación, que puede proporcionar ideas sobre cómo la predicación constituye un vehículo para dar forma y re-formar una comunidad religiosa y social. Una serie de características de un buen sermón fueron identificadas mediante el uso de entrevistas en profundidad a un grupo diverso de oyentes Hispanos(as)/Latinos(as) del …

The Vital Role Of The Laity In Revitalization: A Case Study Of Misión Cristiana Elim, Robert Danielson, Mario Vega
The Vital Role Of The Laity In Revitalization: A Case Study Of Misión Cristiana Elim, Robert Danielson, Mario Vega
The Asbury Journal
Immigration from Latin America to the U.S. is often seen as the movement of individuals across borders, but it often impacts communities as well, including religious organizations. Because of the cell-group focus of Misión Cristiana Elim in El Salvador and the large number of Salvadoran immigrants, it is not surprising that this movement is also growing rapidly as immigrants move into new areas. This case illustrates how one Hispanic church movement is growing transnationally through immigration.
Counseling: An Expression Of The Ministry Of The Church, Javier Sierra
Counseling: An Expression Of The Ministry Of The Church, Javier Sierra
The Asbury Journal
This introductory article is designed to introduce the concepts of pastoral counseling to the Hispanic community, which frequently does not have a developed ministry of pastoral counseling in their churches. This article discusses the biblical basis for this ministry and helps define it in light of the strong relational nature and existing practice of advice giving found within Hispanic cultures. Seeing pastoral counseling as an extension of community care and as more closely related to the informal practice of giving advice, helps make the ministry of pastoral counseling and pastoral care more accessible to ministries within the Hispanic community.
Conserjería: Una Expresión Del Ministerio De La Iglesia, Javier Sierra
Conserjería: Una Expresión Del Ministerio De La Iglesia, Javier Sierra
The Asbury Journal
Este artículo de introducción está diseñado para introducir los conceptos de consejería pastoral a la comunidad Hispana, la cual con frequencia no tiene un ministerio desarrollado de conserjería pastoral en sus iglesias. Este artículo discute las bases bíblicas para este ministerio y ayuda a definirlo a la luz de la fuerte naturaleza relacional y la práctica existente de dar consejos que se encuentra dentro de las culturas Hispanas. Ver a la consejería pastoral como una extensión del cuidado de la comunidad y como más estrechamente relacionada a la práctica informal de dar consejos, ayuda a que el ministerio de consejería …

Teaching As Formation: The Vision Of Ephesians 4:11-16 And Pedagogical Implications For Routine Teaching Tasks, Joy Ames
The Asbury Journal
This paper seeks to incorporate the vision of teaching in Ephesians 4:11-16 into an understanding of theological education that involves the holistic formation of students. First, a brief exegetical study of Ephesians 4:11-16 is presented in order to accentuate its vision for teaching as formation. Secondly, the task of grading is viewed as a major opportunity for student formation. Thirdly, an emphasis is placed on hearing the voice of the text for today in the task of teaching the text- based exegetical course.
Eden University—Nurturing Life For The Real World, Jordan Guy
Eden University—Nurturing Life For The Real World, Jordan Guy
The Asbury Journal
Teachers are responsible for equipping students with wisdom for survival in the “real world.” One method for fulfilling this task is to trans- port three essential elements from the Garden of Eden into the classroom environment. This means: 1) exposing students to every “tree” in the gar- den, 2) inviting “the serpent” into the classroom in order to make every decision tempting, and 3) reflecting together on the benefits/consequences of every decision. Students and teachers who explore, wrestle with, and reflect on real world problems first in a nurturing community are better equipped to survive and even thrive in the …
Teaching Through Guided Reflection On Short-Term Missions, Jeremy B. Griffin
Teaching Through Guided Reflection On Short-Term Missions, Jeremy B. Griffin
The Asbury Journal
This paper was presented at Asbury Theological Seminary on March 14, 2014, at the Interdisciplinary Colloquium. This work examines the three sections of a short-term missions trip: pre-trip, during the trip, and post-trip. These sections have unique opportunities for teaching, and each must be navigated with different types of teaching and guided reflection.
Contextual Theological Education In Africa As A Model For Missional Formation, Susan Murithi
Contextual Theological Education In Africa As A Model For Missional Formation, Susan Murithi
The Asbury Journal
This paper argues that teaching of contextual theological education in Africa can aid in missional formation of students, teachers, and their communities. Further, common African struggles are explored as a way of discovering how theological education can be used to address Africa’s unique situation. The paper further asserts that the only kind of education with the power to form humanity is the one that relates to them and addresses their unique situations, and answers their questions. To form missional Christians in Africa, we need contextual education in our training institutions.
The Faith And Praxis Of Women In Missions In The Early Pentecostal And Holiness Movement, Jody Fleming
The Faith And Praxis Of Women In Missions In The Early Pentecostal And Holiness Movement, Jody Fleming
The Asbury Journal
Women in the early years of the Pentecostal and Holiness movement played a very important part in the advancement of local and world mission. This paper examines not only the contributions women made during this time period, but also the balance they had between their faith and the practice of that faith. This study includes a select group of women chosen for their comprehension of Christian faith and how it impacted their understanding for reaching out to the world around them. Some are better known than others, but each of their stories represents the impact of women on Christian missionary …
Esau, Son Of Isaac And Grandson Of Abraham: The Model Of A Faithful Son, Moshe Reiss
Esau, Son Of Isaac And Grandson Of Abraham: The Model Of A Faithful Son, Moshe Reiss
The Asbury Journal
The story of Esau and Jacob, the two powerful sons of Isaac and Rebekah is one of the several conflicting families noted in the book of Genesis. Jacob, whose other name is Israel, is the father of the twelve tribes and thus the founder of the Jewish people. Rebekah may be the most pow- erful of the matriarchs; the one God talks to directly about her role in the covenant. The reconciliation of the brothers is one of the more powerful descriptions in the Bible.
Creatio Ex Amore Dei: Creation Out Of Nothing And God’S Relational Nature, Samuel J. Youngs
Creatio Ex Amore Dei: Creation Out Of Nothing And God’S Relational Nature, Samuel J. Youngs
The Asbury Journal
The opinion of many feminist thinkers and process theologians has been that Christianity needs to shed its allegiance to a God conceived in terms of omnipotent sovereignty. As an alternative, many of them have envisioned God in more relational categories, focusing on the metaphysically “limited” nature of God, with the first step along this path often being a refutation of the traditional doctrine of creatio ex nihilo. This essay summarizes such critiques before proceeding to argue that a robust understanding of creatio ex nihilo, viewed through the lens of kenosis, can actually speak more effectively to God’s relational nature and …

Listening To The Us Hispanic/Latino (Latina) Sermon Listener, Danny Román-Gloro
Listening To The Us Hispanic/Latino (Latina) Sermon Listener, Danny Román-Gloro
The Asbury Journal
This paper presents the findings of an ethnographic study on preaching within the US Hispanic/Latino (Latina) community.1 The study explored the preaching event from the experience of the listener. The US Hispanic/ Latino (Latina) sermon listener represents a unique group of individuals that have a particular experience of preaching, which can provide insights on how preaching constitutes a vehicle for shaping and re-shaping a religious and social community. Through the use of in-depth interviews of a diverse group of US Hispanic/Latino (Latina) sermon listeners a series of characteristics of a good sermon were identified.
Liberation And Engagement: Toward A U.S. Latino/A Diaspora Missiology, Angel Santiago-Vendrell
Liberation And Engagement: Toward A U.S. Latino/A Diaspora Missiology, Angel Santiago-Vendrell
The Asbury Journal
Diaspora missiology is emerging in some evangelical circles as the new paradigm that would complement traditional missiology. In this article, I will describe and analyze the writings of three first generation Cuban-American theologians and their understanding of how to construct theology in diaspora. First, I will present the multiple origins of the Latino/a population. Second, the metaphor of the Promised Land will be described and assessed though the lens of the prosperity gospel. Third, the writings of Ada María Isasi-Díaz, Justo González, and Fernando Segovia on theology in the diaspora will be described and analyzed. Finally, a Latino/a missiology of …
Lessons Of The Jerusalem Council For The Church’S Debate Over Sexuality, Bill T. Arnold
Lessons Of The Jerusalem Council For The Church’S Debate Over Sexuality, Bill T. Arnold
The Asbury Journal
The Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) gets widespread attention today as a model for decision-making in the church, especially with regard to the changing cultural mores related to same-sex practices. This study investigates hermeneutical assumptions in two scholarly treatments of Acts 15 in light of the literary and historical context of the Jerusalem Council, including a few exegetical details. The study focuses especially on the specifics of the Apostolic Decree in verses 28-29. The aim of the investigation is to evaluate the chapter’s use in current debates over sexual ethics, and to propose appropriate lessons of the Jerusalem Council based on …
New Testament Considerations On Unity And “Amicable Separation” In The United Methodist Church, Christopher T. Bounds
New Testament Considerations On Unity And “Amicable Separation” In The United Methodist Church, Christopher T. Bounds
The Asbury Journal
This paper explores the proposal of “Amicable Separation” in The United Methodist Church through the lens of New Testament teaching on Church unity and schism. First, the concept of ecclesial oneness is examined closely in the Gospel of John, Ephesians, and other related passages. Second, every instance of schism or threat of schism is studied in Acts, I Corinthians, Galatians, Colossians, I Timothy, and I and II John to see how separation is understood and addressed. After a summary of the study is given, application is made finally to the “Amicable Separation” proposal.
Faculty Psychology In The Holiness Theology Of Asa Mahan, Christopher P. Momany
Faculty Psychology In The Holiness Theology Of Asa Mahan, Christopher P. Momany
The Asbury Journal
As America awakened to a greater antislavery consciousness, Asa Mahan, president of the Oberlin Collegiate Institute, presented his seminal reflection on Christian Perfection. Mahan offered an unusually precise definition of perfection or holiness. The Oberlin president borrowed from Scottish Common Sense Realism to suggest an understanding of Christian Perfection that was both personally rigorous and socially prophetic. This conception of holiness was also rooted in a commitment to objective truth.
