Contemporary Hermeneutics: An Examination Of Selected Works Of John D. K. Ekem On Mother Tongue Biblical Hermeneutics For The African Context, Daniel Nii Aboagye Aryeh Jan 2017

Contemporary Hermeneutics: An Examination Of Selected Works Of John D. K. Ekem On Mother Tongue Biblical Hermeneutics For The African Context, Daniel Nii Aboagye Aryeh

The Journal of Inductive Biblical Studies

This essay examines the mother tongue biblical hermeneutics (MTBH) of selected works of the Ghanaian scholar, John D. K. Ekem. Contextual principles, approaches, and methods have been advanced by biblical scholars to elucidate the meaning of Scripture. However, many of the principles, approaches, and methods do not adequately address the socio-cultural context of Ghana (or Africa) since they are products developed in and for another context. Hence, Ekem’s assertion that biblical interpretation must critically engage and dialogue with local socio-cultural norms in the process of biblical interpretation in Africa. Not surprisingly, MTBH shares several principles with inductive biblical studies (IBS). …

The Role Of Hebrews 1:1–4 In The Book Of Hebrews, Rick Boyd Jan 2017

The Role Of Hebrews 1:1–4 In The Book Of Hebrews, Rick Boyd

The Journal of Inductive Biblical Studies

This essay considers the complex structure of Hebrews, focusing on the role of the opening statement of the book. The study finds causation with parallel instances of particularization, the author providing general statements in both the cause (1:1–4) and effect (10:22–25) which are then subsequently unpacked through the rest of each main unit of material. Emphasis is placed on the role of 1:1–4 in the context of the author’s argument regarding God’s eschatological revelation in the Christ-event. This revelation is made ἐν υἱῷ (1:2a), an expression long undervalued by scholars but one that provides the basis for and understanding of …

Conflict In The Small- And Medium-Sized Church, William D. Henard Jan 2017

Conflict In The Small- And Medium-Sized Church, William D. Henard

Great Commission Research Journal

One of the most difficult aspects of dealing with any church is conflict. Because of humanity’s fallen nature and because of the difficulty of initiating and accepting change, conflict is almost always inevitable. Conflict becomes detrimental when it is not handled correctly or when it remains unchecked and finds its source deep within the sinful nature and motives of people. Conflict in the church, though, does not necessarily have to be destructive. Many of those within the church reconciliatory ministry say that conflict is essentially neutral. When handled properly, it can actually result in some positive benefits for the church.


Rethinking The Term Missionary: Is Every Christian A Missionary?, Cecil Stalnaker Jan 2017

Rethinking The Term Missionary: Is Every Christian A Missionary?, Cecil Stalnaker

Great Commission Research Journal

In order to emphasize the missionary nature of the local church, a new expression has emerged in recent years: “Every Christian a missionary.” Is this valid? Should local churches be instructing and claiming that their church members are all missionaries? Although many mission leaders and writers claim that the Bible never uses the word missionary, an examination of fifty-two different English versions of the Bible shows otherwise. In order to respond to the main question, a number of avenues are explored in this paper—the identity, definitions, and origin of the term missionary, including old and new paradigms and their analyses. …

Vital Relations And Major Structural Relationships: Heuristic Approaches To Observe And Explore Biblical And Other Discourse, Fredrick J. Long Jan 2017

Vital Relations And Major Structural Relationships: Heuristic Approaches To Observe And Explore Biblical And Other Discourse, Fredrick J. Long

The Journal of Inductive Biblical Studies

In their book, The Way We Think: Conceptual Blending and the Mind’s Hidden Complexities (2002), Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner describe within Conceptual Integration Theory (CIT) a set of “vital relations” (VRs) at the core of meaning making that compress and blend ideas simultaneously. “Compression in blending networks operates on a surprisingly small set of relations rooted in fundamental human neurobiology and shared social experience. These vital relations, which include Cause-Effect, Change, Time, Identity, Intentionality, Representation, and Part-Whole, not only apply across mental spaces but also define essential topology within mental spaces” (xiii). Additional VRs include Role, Analogy, Disanalogy, Property, …

How Donald Mcgavran Has Impacted One Urban Church Plant And Indirectly Influenced Thousands Of Other Churches: An Analysis Of The Journey Church Of The City, Nelson Searcy, Matthew C. Easter Jul 2016

How Donald Mcgavran Has Impacted One Urban Church Plant And Indirectly Influenced Thousands Of Other Churches: An Analysis Of The Journey Church Of The City, Nelson Searcy, Matthew C. Easter

Great Commission Research Journal

This essay offers five specific principles from Donald McGavran that have directly influenced The Journey Church in New York City, San Francisco, and Boca Raton, Florida, and indirectly thousands of other churches (through the writing and coaching ministry of Nelson Searcy with Church Leader Insights). McGavran’s principles of missionary eyes, goal setting, assimilation, homogeneity, and a Great Commission focus have proven invaluable in this church plant and offer a similar value to other churches seeking to make a difference in their communities.


Technology-Based Oral Ministry Strategies: The Bridge Between Western Literate And Majority World Oral Contexts, Christina Toy Jul 2016

Technology-Based Oral Ministry Strategies: The Bridge Between Western Literate And Majority World Oral Contexts, Christina Toy

Great Commission Research Journal

Modern technology has ushered in a third era of communication—secondary orality. The literate West and oral Majority World represent two polarized societies. As awareness of orality grows, technology must be part of the developing approaches to ensure continued effective ministry. Technology-based oral ministry strategies are the best way to bridge the gap between the Western literate and Majority World oral contexts. This paper will discuss characteristics of the third communication era, including inadequacies of current ministry approaches, the biblical basis for technology-based oral strategies, and implications of secondary orality in alternative ministry strategies’ development and implementation.
