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."

Transforming Worship, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "Transforming worship is both impressive and expressive. As we receive God's love for us and return our love for God, we find ourselves changed, transformed, renewed from the inside out. New insights help us live in the newness of life. Greater sensitivities emerge as we come to view those around us through the eyes of Jesus. We receive power to overcome life's obstacles and temptations. All things indeed become new, and creation even takes on another smell."

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 …

Jesus And Peace, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Using recent biblical scholarship, this essay seeks to clarify Jesus' teachings on peace and their implications for those who desire to follow his way.

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!"

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."

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."

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

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "Do you think God laughs? Do you think God weeps? These are hard questions to answer with any certainty. But if Jesus indeed reveals to us what God is like, both of these questions may be answered with a "yes:' "

Queries On Radical Stewardship, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Radical Christian stewardship gets to the heart (the Latin word/ radix means "root") of the matter. Are you mindful in your meetings and in your personal lives that: Nothing we have is our own, we are called to be faithful stewards of all of our entrustments, Money is "frozen labor", The Lord calls us to give of our "firstfruits" not just our "leftovers", and The Lord calls us to give in response to need.

A Theology Of Presence, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "One Sunday morning after I had delivered a sermon on prayer, a woman came and shared with me about several unfortunate events in her life. "I tried God," she said, "it didn't work." "

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." "

The Doctrine Of The Two-Natures Of Christ: A Historical And Critical Analysis, Amos Yong

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

During the spring term of 1991 , while studying the develop­ment of Christian thought in the modern period under Dr . W. Stanley Johnson , I began research for my M.A. thesis on the Christology of Oneness Pentecostalism following a suggestion by Dr . Susie Stanley made in light of my background as a Pente­costal. Almost immediately , I came upon the definitive work of David Reed , "The Origins and Development of the Theology of Oneness Pentecostalism in the United States'' (Ph.d Diss. , Boston University , 1978), where in he identified Oneness Christology as primarily Nestorian in character …

On The Healing And Re-Deeming Power Of Jesus Christ, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "The healing and redeeming workings of Jesus Christ are amazingly interwoven. In fact, the same word in Greek is translated as "healing" and as "salvation" in English. Both healing and redemption are twin and central aspects of the Gospel of Christ, and yet, another connection exists, as well. It is the liberating power of Truth."

On Asking Better Questions... And Finding Better Answers, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "Asking better questions leads to better answers. A troublesome fact about the world Christian movement is that since the fourth century A.D., Christians have been divided on matters of war and peace. In fact, in the two World Wars of this century, more Christians were killed by Christians than had been killed in all the wars of the last two millennia combined. This is a troubling fact, to say the least, and a major contributor to the rejection of Christianity, from what I am told by non-Christians. So how did things come to be this way?"

When Tempted By Sanity..., Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "In the well-known musical Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote sets off as a knight-errant on a quest to right the world's wrongs and to fight for the truth no matter the cost. He is joined, of course, by Sancho Panza, who believes that he will profit from sharing the spoils of their adventures. Jousting at windmills and challenging passersby as evil knights to be dealt with, however, Quixote comes across as a poor fool who is out of touch with reality. His image has even been stamped indelibly upon the English language in the form of an …

On Christmas... And The Character Of Sacramentality, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "What makes something sacramental? Have you ever thought about that question? The classic answer, going back to St. Augustine, is that a sacrament is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual reality. During the Middle Ages, the church embraced as many as 30 sacraments, but Peter Lombard reduced them to the seven that are still a part of the Catholic faith. With Luther and the Reformers, the number was reduced to two- as water baptism and communion are the two most closely connected to New Testament practices. But what is it that really makes something …

On Spirituality... And Human Sexuality, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

Excerpt: "Spirituality and sexuality. An unlikely coupling. Many Christians assume that, like oil and water, the two simply do not mix. And yet, spirituality and sexuality occupy the most personal and intimate parts of our beings, and this is why they deserve to be addressed together instead of apart."
