Anti-Social Media: Communal Transformation And The Barriers Of Technology, A. Thornhill
A. Chadwick Thornhill
In light of the proliferation of social media consumption in the West and across the world, this paper considers the implications for communal participation and transformation, particularly for the Christian community. The paper argues that God intends for our formation as human beings in general, and as Christians in particular, to occur primarily in the context of interdependent relationships with others, and particularly within our faith family.

“Spheres Of Influence” In The Epistle To The Galatians, A. Thornhill
“Spheres Of Influence” In The Epistle To The Galatians, A. Thornhill
A. Chadwick Thornhill
Paul’s discussion of the Law and Christ in Galatians is framed in spherical language. This is seen in his use of three key prepositions (ἐν, ἐκ, and ὑπο). Paul’s chief contrast is between one operating within the Law or within Christ as their basic realm of belonging. Those who are tempted to return to the sphere of the Law as their fundamental relation to God are at risk of transferring out of the realm of Christ, which for Paul is the only place in which favor with God is found.

Emotional Doubt And Divine Hiddenness, A. Thornhill
Emotional Doubt And Divine Hiddenness, A. Thornhill
A. Chadwick Thornhill
This essay will seek to develop a possible model for addressing the existential problem of divine hiddenness and the emotional doubt that it might cause in the life of a believer. In doing so, it will identify several potential "root causes" for the experience of the existential problem of divine hiddenness and attempt to guide a hurting individual through dealing with their doubt by applying misbelief therapy.
To The Jew First: A Socio-Historical And Biblical-Theological Analysis Of The Pauline Teaching Of `Election' In Light Of Second Temple Jewish Patterns Of Thought, Anthony Thornhill
To The Jew First: A Socio-Historical And Biblical-Theological Analysis Of The Pauline Teaching Of `Election' In Light Of Second Temple Jewish Patterns Of Thought, Anthony Thornhill
A. Chadwick Thornhill
Paul's "doctrine" of election has remained a controversial and enigmatic topic for centuries. Few studies, however, have approached Paul's doctrine through the context of Second Temple Judaism. This study examines Paul's view of election through the lens of Second Temple Jewish texts written prior to 70 CE. In doing so, it is argued that the best framework through which to view Paul's discussion of election is through a primarily corporate model of election. While such a model is rooted in Judaism, Paul departs from his Jewish contemporaries in arguing that the locus of election is in God's Messiah, Jesus.
Paul & Judaism Revisited: A Study Of Divine And Human Agency In Salvation, Preston M. Sprinkle : Book Review, A. Thornhill
Paul & Judaism Revisited: A Study Of Divine And Human Agency In Salvation, Preston M. Sprinkle : Book Review, A. Thornhill
A. Chadwick Thornhill
The working of the puzzle of Paul and his relationship to Judaism seems a never ending task in the field of biblical studies. Across the spectrum, various Old, New, and Post-New Perspectives have been advocated. With a new contribution to the discussion, Preston Sprinkle's Paul & Judaism Revisited seeks to add some clarity to the picture by focusing specifically on the issue of divine and human agency in salvation. Sprinkle acknowledges that his contribution adds to the body of literature on the topic begun by E. P. Sanders and contributed to by scholars such as Krister Stendahl, Ernst Käsemann, James …
The Resurrection Of Jesus And Spiritual (Trans)Formation, A. Thornhill
The Resurrection Of Jesus And Spiritual (Trans)Formation, A. Thornhill
A. Chadwick Thornhill
What does Paul envision as the basis for the spiritual (trans)formation of the believer? Several key passages in the Pauline epistles reveal that Paul envisions a vibrant connection between the resurrection of Jesus and the expected character qualities and behaviors of those who are in Christ. In examining this connection between resurrection and Christian maturation, three distinct, though interrelated, emphases may be identified: 1) identification with Jesus in his resurrection, 2) submission to the lordship of Jesus and the expectations of his kingdom, and 3) hope in the future resurrection of those who are “in Christ.” While these form the …
