Hope In The Face Of Empire: Failed Patriotism, Civil International Publicity, And Patriotic Peacebuilding, Gary M. Simpson Apr 2005

Hope In The Face Of Empire: Failed Patriotism, Civil International Publicity, And Patriotic Peacebuilding, Gary M. Simpson

Faculty Publications

The patriotism of empire is a failed patriotism that longs for empire as the way to achieve security. America needs instead a repenting patriotism, in the tradition of Lincoln, that recognizes public accountability and moves toward peacebuilding.

Conversion, Conversation, And Acts 15, Lois E. Malcolm Jul 2002

Conversion, Conversation, And Acts 15, Lois E. Malcolm

Faculty Publications

Conversion and conversation converge in the light of trinitarian theology and in the book of Acts. The point of our moving beyond Jerusalem, of our outreach, is not to make others like ourselves, but to participate in an event that calls everyone involved out of themselves into something new and larger than themselves.

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.


The Return Of The Congregation: Missional Warrants, Patrick R. Keifert Oct 2000

The Return Of The Congregation: Missional Warrants, Patrick R. Keifert

Faculty Publications

The new era of mission in North America warrants the return of the congregation as the primal location of the study of theology at every level of theological education, including schools of theology.

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 Jul 1998

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.


The Trinity And Congregational Planning: Between Historical Minimum And Eschatological Maximum, Patrick R. Keifert Jul 1998

The Trinity And Congregational Planning: Between Historical Minimum And Eschatological Maximum, Patrick R. Keifert

Faculty Publications

Most members of congregations are inattentive to both the past and the future of their congregation. They live in a very present now. An adequate doctrine of the Trinity can liberate congregations from this imprisonment in the present; it will call for visioning and planning in congregational life.

Free Speech In Pauline Political Theology, David E. Fredrickson Oct 1992

Free Speech In Pauline Political Theology, David E. Fredrickson

Faculty Publications

Although it is generally recognized today that Paul’s faith was not a religion of subjectivity, some may nevertheless object to the notion that the apostle’s theology has a political dimension. Surely, it may be said, the sectarian communities which Paul nurtured with the stark contrasts of “outsiders” and “insiders” did not think that their task was to influence public policy in the cities of the Roman empire. While it is of course preposterous to think that the early Christians had Caesar’s ear, influencing public policy is only one way of engaging in politics.

The Gospel And Feminism: A Proposal For Lutheran Dogmatics, Lois E. Malcolm Jul 1985

The Gospel And Feminism: A Proposal For Lutheran Dogmatics, Lois E. Malcolm

Faculty Publications

The aim of this essay is to identify the theological, and deeply Christian, point of resonance between Lutheran and feminist theologies. It begins with a brief overview of themes in Christian feminist theologies; it then offers rationale and recommendations for why and how Lutheran dogmatics should critically engage feminist perspectives so that it can better serve the task of assisting Christians in their proclamation of the promise in Jesus’ gospel.


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.
