Law And The Danger Of Freedom, Steven D. Paulson Jul 2001

Law And The Danger Of Freedom, Steven D. Paulson

Faculty Publications

Proposing a “third use of the law”—a law for Christians after faith—arises from a fear of freedom. It is finally a christological problem, since Christ put an end to the law not only in himself but also in us.


Luther On The Hidden God, Steven D. Paulson Oct 1999

Luther On The Hidden God, Steven D. Paulson

Faculty Publications

It is not so much that God cannot be seen that concerns Luther, but that God actually and actively hides. God hides in order not to be found where humans want to find God. But God also hides in order to be found where God wills to be found.

No Trinity, No Mission: The Apostolic Difference Of Revisioning The Trinity, Gary M. Simpson

Faculty Publications

Moral and experiential monotheism, twin bequests of the enlightenment, have robbed recent doctrines of God of an essential apostolic difference. A revisioned formulation of the Trinity will provide good news for the modern world.

Labor Room Or Morgue: The Power And Limits Of Pluralism And Christology, Patrick R. Keifert Jan 1985

Labor Room Or Morgue: The Power And Limits Of Pluralism And Christology, Patrick R. Keifert

Faculty Publications

Professor Wilson is right, “Christological reflection is crossing a threshold...entering an unfamiliar room.” My response focuses his point by posing a question and proposing an answer. Is this new room a labor room or a morgue? Will christological reflection in this room labor and give birth to a new and vibrant orthodoxy and orthopraxis? Or will it die shy and embarrassed for lack of moral and spiritual fortitude, or intellectual and practical wisdom? The answer to the question of morgue or labor room lies in marking the powers and limits of christology and pluralism.
