John And Mark: The Bi-Optic Gospels, Paul N. Anderson
John And Mark: The Bi-Optic Gospels, Paul N. Anderson
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
"The relationship between the Fourth Gospel (FG) and the Synoptics is often treated as "three against one," evoking distorted perceptions ofJohn and the Synoptics alike. Differences between the presentations and contents of these four books contribute to the flawed assumption that the Synoptics are "historical" while John is "spiritual." However, if Matthew and Luke indeed used Mark in constructing their gospels, differences in perspective between the Synoptics and FG may be rooted primarily in differences between the Markan andJohannine traditions. There may even have been contacts between these two traditions, and perhaps some of their similarities and differences originated within …
Navigating The Living Waters Of The Gospel Of John: On Wading With Children And Swimming With Elephants, Paul N. Anderson
Navigating The Living Waters Of The Gospel Of John: On Wading With Children And Swimming With Elephants, Paul N. Anderson
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
The Fourth Gospel has been called "a stream in which a child can wade and an elephant can swim." John has long been used as a primer for newcomers to faith, and it continues to be a favorite devotional reading for young and old alike. On the other hand, John continues to be an ongoing storm center among the finest of Bible scholars and theologians. John's content, complete with its theological tensions, evoked three centuries of debate in the early church, and it continues to produce great torrents of diverse scholarly opinion on a great number of issues into the …

The Sitz Im Leben Of The Johannine Bread Of Life Discourse And Its Evolving Context, Paul N. Anderson
The Sitz Im Leben Of The Johannine Bread Of Life Discourse And Its Evolving Context, Paul N. Anderson
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
The thesis of this study is that because the Johannine Bread of Life Discourse reflects an exhortative homiletical unit, connecting the ministry of Jesus with ongoing crises affecting the Johannine community of faith, an investigation into the rhetorical thrust of its message will illumine—and be illumined by—one’s understanding of the Johannine situation and its evolving context. More specifically, as the central exhortative thrust of the discourse is “Work not for food that is death-producing, but for the food that is life-producing—eternally, which the Son of Man shall give you” (v. 27), the misunderstanding dialogues between Jesus and four groups of …

Cassidy's "John's Gospel In New Perspective: Christology And The Realities Of Roman Power" - Book Review, Paul N. Anderson
Cassidy's "John's Gospel In New Perspective: Christology And The Realities Of Roman Power" - Book Review, Paul N. Anderson
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
Richard Cassidy's latest book builds on some of the previous work he has done regarding the socio-political background of Luke/Acts, but now he applies his historical investigation into the policies of Roman authorities —as enacted toward Christians around the turn of the first century CE —to an understanding of various motifs and emphases in the Gospel of John. His thesis is stated succinctly at the outset: "In depicting Jesus' identity and mission within his Gospel, the evangelist John was concerned to present elements and themes that were especially significant for Christian readers facing Roman imperial claims and for any who …
On Following Jesus, Paul N. Anderson
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 Member Of The Crew, Paul N. Anderson
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." "
On The Healing And Re-Deeming Power Of Jesus Christ, Paul N. Anderson
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
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
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
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
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."
