Was The Chronicler A Spin Doctor?: David In The Books Of Chronicles, Mark A. Throntveit
Was The Chronicler A Spin Doctor?: David In The Books Of Chronicles, Mark A. Throntveit
Faculty Publications
Yes, the Chronicler was a spin doctor—but a necessary one. He used the David story to address the needs of his postexilic community who questioned the value of God’s old promises to David in this new time of Persian domination, without a king, worshiping in a temple that was the mere shadow of Solomon’s glorious edifice.
Preaching The David Story, Rolf A. Jacobson
Preaching The David Story, Rolf A. Jacobson
Faculty Publications
The David story is the longest and most complete biblical treatment of any one human life. This allows the story to speak to many stages of the faith journey. The story is not fully present in the pericopes, but the preacher can choose to use this material in a sermon series to address the spiritual and moral contexts of our age.

Denying Self, Bearing A Cross, And Following Jesus: Unpacking The Imperatives Of Mark 8:34, Matthew L. Skinner
Faculty Publications
As we journey soon into the new beginnings of post-Labor Day autumn, what will it mean to deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Jesus? More, certainly, than giving up a few things; more than suffering as part of the human condition; more than moving forward on new paths—peering into autumn’s transitions, we belong to another.

Living As Gods On Our Skin: The Vigil Of Pentecost And Pentecost Sunday (John 7:37-39), David E. Fredrickson
Faculty Publications
What will it mean to “thirst” for Jesus? The “thirst” spoken of in John 7 is much more passionate than we have been trained to imagine. Thirst brings about fantasy. Fantasy takes me out of my everyday existence and opens me to the possibility that things are not as they appear to be.

Claiming Jesus As Savior In A Religiously Plural World, Gabriel Fackre
Claiming Jesus As Savior In A Religiously Plural World, Gabriel Fackre
Journal for Christian Theological Research
Taking up the bold claim for the universal significance of christological particularity, this essay begins with a brief description of a range of contemporary perspectives on the relation of Jesus Christ to religious pluralism, using a ten-fold taxonomy rather than the popular but inadequate pluralism/inclusivism/exclusivism formula. Current perspectives are identified as: common core, common quest, common community, common pool, common range (all variations on a pluralist approach); anonymous particularity, revelatory particularity, imperial particularity, pluralist particularity and narrative particularity as types giving pride of place to Christian singularity. The heart of the paper is an exposition of the tenth perspective, a …

A Freedom That Is No Freedom: Jeremiah 34 And The Sabbatical Principle, Rolf A. Jacobson
A Freedom That Is No Freedom: Jeremiah 34 And The Sabbatical Principle, Rolf A. Jacobson
Faculty Publications
The “release” of the Hebrew slaves during the time of the Babylonian siege was a cynical affair, setting the slaves “free” from being provided food and shelter by their owners in a time of scarcity. The passage raises important questions about the nature of freedom: freedom from? freedom unto? freedom for?
Conversion, Conversation, And Acts 15, Lois E. Malcolm
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.

Jesus The Way, The Cross, And The World According To The Gospel Of John, Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
According to the internal logic of John's Gospel, Jesus' claim to be "the way, the truth, and the life" is a remarkably inclusive statement, with none of the exclusive character sometimes attributed to it.

Opening The Front Door: Designing A Usable Library Web Site, Andrew Keck
Faculty Publications
The library website is a significant access point to a library’s collections, resources, and services. A website can and should provide information about the library in a way that can be efficiently navigated and used by all library patrons. The usability of a library website can be improved through changes in organization and design informed by the experiences of real users. User expectations should be primary in determining the content, purpose, organization, and design of the site.

Testing Models Of The Incarnation: From Revelation To Historical Science, Alan G. Padgett
Testing Models Of The Incarnation: From Revelation To Historical Science, Alan G. Padgett
Journal for Christian Theological Research
Is it proper for the results of science to influence Christian theology? If so, on what grounds? I argue that science can and should influence theology, and give the example of historical investigation into Jesus (historical science) and Christology (theology). Proof, coherence and informal support are the three logical ways of relating data to theories. Abandoning proof, and assuming coherence, we look at the notions of abduction and retroduction (informal support á la C. S. Peirce) as models for the history-theology relationship. Among the theologians, I explicitly follow Basil Mitchell and Reinhold Niebuhr on the relationship between faith and history, …
