Christmas Lights... And The Light Of Christmas, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "My views on the meaning of Christmas have undergone two major changes. The first came as a six-year-old when I realized that Santa Claus, reindeer, and Frosty the Snowman were different from baby Jesus, donkeys, and manger scenes. After all, Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth, not just a worldwide holiday filled with festivities and lights."

On Crossing Oceans And Mud Puddles, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "Cross-Cultural

ministry may be one of the most difficult kinds of ministry to grasp, and yet it can also be one of the most rewarding. Indeed, the crossing of an ocean for Christ often seems easier than crossing the mud puddle between our house and the neighbors'.

The world still needs this message today, at Easter time and always. As George Fox put it in …

Participation And Atonement, Roger Newell

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

How does the victory of Christ over sin and death impinge on my life nearly two thousand years later, so that, as Professor Torrance bas described it, his death becomes my death and his resurrection my resurrection? I will respond to this question by briefly discussing two 'subject-centred appropriation' models and concluding with an 'object-centred participation' model. The meaning of these phrases will be unpacked as the discussion progresses. However, at the outset it is important to note that the object-centred model is based on a more radical understanding of the incarnation which has been advocated by Professor Torrance and …
