Anything Against Anyone, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "He grieved her loss. Without a word, she'd walked out on him after eight years of marriage. He didn't even have a clue that the relationship had been growing intolerable for her. Sure, they had their problems, but didn't all relationships? It just caught him totally unaware, and now there was nothing he could do to retrieve, let alone rebuild the relationship. The way she left had not only put an end to what had been, but he felt it also closed the door to future possibilities. Her "No!" was final. Their future was nil. The investments they'd made …

A People Of Vision, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "It is an absolute delight to worship and serve among a people of vision. Evangelical Quakers attempt great things for God because we continually ask the question: 'What would God have us do?" And a great deal gets done because people earnestly desire to follow God's leadings and further His work in the world. That's an inspiration!"

On Following Jesus, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "Some Christian groups ask, "How can we be certain of our salvation?" Others ask, "How can we be sure we are right?" Still others ask, "How can we do good in the world?" The Quaker question, however, is, "How can we be, most radically and effectively, true followers of Jesus?" Interestingly, when this question is lived faithfully, the others tend to take care of themselves."

The Use Of Lament In Pastoral Care: Exploring Its Use With Those Working Through The Loss Of A Child, Cornelius J. Deboer

CTS Master of Theology (ThM) Theses

The general purpose of the thesis is to reintroduce an ancient Jewish/Christian tradition of lamenting which taps the anger and inappropriateness of death, destruction, and injustice. This ancient tradition has been lacking and has not been readily encouraged in the Christian community, even though lamenting can easily be understood as a vital part of our relationship with a covenantal God.

More specifically the thesis describes ministry to bereaved parents, and the important place of lament in this ministry. Although the psalms of lament are set forth as the main model, other creative avenues of lamenting are explored. Some prayers and …

Commentary On The Book Of Jonah: Haimo Of Auxerre, Deborah Everhart

TEAMS Commentary Series

Haimo of Auxerre's Commentary on the Book of Jonah was probably written as a study text for scholars in the monastery. His basic method is to present a verse from the Book of Jonah, then offer condensed versions of the diverse and occasionally contradictory interpretations of that verse that were available to him. For example, he displays familiarity with the commentaries written earlier by Jerome and Origen. He provides allegorical, literal, moral, and ecclesiastical interpretations. He moves freely between the language of his commentary and the language of the Bible, and he demonstrates the interrelatedness of his own text and …

The Ascetic Impulse In Early Christianity: Some Current Methodological Challenges, Vincent L. Wimbush

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

As a student of New Testament and Christian Origins, thus, of the earliest period in the history of early Christianity, I come to the study of asceticism very much in the middle, forced from the beginning to address methodological issues. Very little attention has been paid to asceticism by those scholars who deal with the earliest texts and periods; it is as though the phenomenon did non exist in the first three centuries of the common era. The bulk of the literature on asceticism comes from those scholars whose expertise is in the fourth centuries and beyond. Such literature rarely …

Calvin’S Jewish Interlocutor: Christian Hebraism And Anti-Jewish Polemics During The Reformation, Stephen G. Burnett

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

The nature of Calvin’s tractate Reponse to questions and objections of a certain Jew (Ad quaestiones et obiecta Judaei cuiusdam responsio) has long been a matter of some dispute among Calvin scholars. The nineteenth-century editors of Calvin’s works considered the book to be “meager and weak,” no doubt assuming that Calvin was responsible for composing both the questions and answers. In the twentieth century, scholars have been more inclined to see some evidence of an actual dispute between a Jew and a Christian in the book. Most notably Salo Baron suggested that the work reflects an exchange that Josel of …

A God Who Laughs... And Weeps, Paul N. Anderson

From Ichabod To Ebenezer, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "The notion of moving from Ichabod to Ebenezer may produce any of several images in our minds. We may meander mentally from Washington Irving's gangly Ichabod Crane to Charles Dickens's miserly Ebenezer Scrooge enjoying memories of their stories along the way."

A Member Of The Crew, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "When I was a high school senior seeking direction as to what to do with my lik my pastor, Joe Roher, said to me, "Paul, your direction in life is already decided for you:' Good! I thought. Will it be a law career or art? He went on. "You are to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Now, the way you invest your energies and earn your subsistence should be the means by which you are the most effective disciple possible." "

A Theology Of Presence, Paul N. Anderson

Hitting Evil From All Sides, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "Evil is not inert. It stalks its prey as a lion seeking whom to devour (1 Peter 5:8). It harasses and molests its victims with healthdenying consequences. It accuses the brethren with self-defeating lies (Revelation 12:10). It opposes all that is good, lovely, and pure; and the furthering of the Kingdom of God hinges upon its being confronted effectively."
