The Place Of Theology In Diversity Efforts In Christian Higher Education: A Wesleyan Perspective, Esther D. Jadhav
The Asbury Journal
Theology is essential to diversity efforts in Christian Higher Education. In current culture there are at least two ways in which theology emerges in this work, as an afterthought and as foundational in some instances. In this article the author provides a discussion around the question: Does theology have a place in the work of diversity efforts in Christian higher education? This paper asserts that theology is a critical ...demonstrate how Wesleyan theology can speak into diversity efforts in Christian higher education.
Caring For The Sufferers Among Us: Job 3 Through The Lens Of Classical Rhetorical Theory And Modern Psychological Trauma Studies, Abbie F. Mantor
Caring For The Sufferers Among Us: Job 3 Through The Lens Of Classical Rhetorical Theory And Modern Psychological Trauma Studies, Abbie F. Mantor
The Asbury Journal
A lack of engagement with the theology of evil and suffering leads to immature responses when tragedy strikes our congregations and alienates the sufferers among us. I believe the best path forward is an interdisciplinary approach that is both intellectually honest and spiritually ...classical rhetorical studies and modern psychological trauma theories in order to demonstrate how Job’s deep lament offers the Church an example of how to give sufferers the space to work through their grief as they walk their path towards healing and hope.
Women On The Outside Looking In: Rahab And Ruth As Foreign Converts To The People Of God, Kelly J. Danielson
Women On The Outside Looking In: Rahab And Ruth As Foreign Converts To The People Of God, Kelly J. Danielson
The Asbury Journal
How does an outsider become an insider? This is a question that emerges from considering both the modern immigrant situation and the unique situation of non-Israelite women becoming part of the people of God in the Old Testament. The usual pattern in the Old Testament is to be born into the people of Israel, but for men there is the possibility to become part of the covenantal people through the physical act of circumcision. In this patriarchal society, women usually had no choice but to follow the decisions of their husbands. But what if there was no husband? The Bible …

Mujeres Desde Afuera Mirando Hacia Adentro: Rahab Y Rut Como Conversas Extranjeras Al Pueblo De Dios, Kelly J. Godoy De Danielson
The Asbury Journal
¿Cómo se convierte una persona de afuera en una persona de adentro? Esta es una pregunta que surge al considerar tanto la situación moderna del inmigrante moderno como la situación única de las mujeres no israelitas que se convierten en parte del pueblo de Dios en el Antiguo Testamento. El patrón habitual en el Antiguo Testamento es nacer en el pueblo de Israel, pero para los hombres existe la posibilidad de convertirse en parte del pueblo del pacto a través del acto físico de la circuncisión. En esta sociedad patriarcal, las mujeres generalmente no tenían más remedio que seguir las …

The Spirit Of Methodism: Missionary Zeal And The Gift Of An Evangelist, Philip R. Meadows
The Spirit Of Methodism: Missionary Zeal And The Gift Of An Evangelist, Philip R. Meadows
The Asbury Journal
The church does not need more vital congregations, but rather a few vital Christians, whose vitality is not measured in terms of institutional effectiveness, but by missionary zeal. This zeal is a hungering and thirsting for just one thing: the glory of God and the salvation of souls. It cannot be manufactured, but can only be caught from those who have been gifted by the Spirit to continue the charism of their founder, and fanned into flame. Without this type of Christian, there is no movement, and there is no Methodism. John Welsey's most important legacy was not his doctrine …

Advocating For Dreamers: A Wesleyan Approach To U.S. Immigration Reform, Rebekah Clapp
Advocating For Dreamers: A Wesleyan Approach To U.S. Immigration Reform, Rebekah Clapp
The Asbury Journal
This paper argues that Wesley's theology supports radical hospitality toward all U.S. immigrants, regardless of documentation. Specifically, the emphasis John Wesley placed on loving one's neighbor forces us to consider the immigrant's well being alongside our own. Additionally, his understanding of liberty calls for Christians to support human flourishing for all people. Further, Wesley's argument that all humanity is to be considered equal rejects any idea of superiority or supremacy as justification for withholding hospitality. Finally, in John Welsey's daily spiritual practices, he emphasized care for society's most vulnerable members- who must, in contemporary times, include the immigrant. In John …

Thus Sayeth The Matthean Lord: Exploring The Intersection Of The Quest For The Historical Jesus And The Proclaimation Of The Biblical Jesus, Edward T. Wright
Thus Sayeth The Matthean Lord: Exploring The Intersection Of The Quest For The Historical Jesus And The Proclaimation Of The Biblical Jesus, Edward T. Wright
The Asbury Journal
The themes of Biblical Studies and mission meet in a significant way at the intersection of the quest for the historical Jesus (an aspect of biblical studies) and the proclamation of the biblical Jesus (an aspect of the mission of the Church). This intersection undoubtedly occurs in the context we currently find ourselves, the evangelical seminary setting. This paper explores a passage, Matthew 4:-11, that has both significant theological content but also some rather difficult historical issues. When confronted with this type of problem, is it possible to navigate the passage in such a way that the historical Jesus and …

Growing Up In America's Segregated South: Reminiscences And Regrets, Mark R. Elliott
Growing Up In America's Segregated South: Reminiscences And Regrets, Mark R. Elliott
The Asbury Journal
In this personal essay, originally given as an address delivered at the Sakharov Center, a human rights NGO in Moscow, Russia, on June 2, 2017, the author contemplates a lifetime of experience in the Southern United States and the prejudices and racism that he saw during that time. He relates these experiences to similar issues in Russia today, adding a Christian plea for equality and fair treatment for all people by the Christian community, and also calling on the Church to stand in opposition to racism and anti-Semitism wherever it appears.

Ecclesia Semper Sanctificanda: Historic Models Of Catechesis And The Cultivation Of Social Holiness, Jonathan A. Powers
Ecclesia Semper Sanctificanda: Historic Models Of Catechesis And The Cultivation Of Social Holiness, Jonathan A. Powers
The Asbury Journal
This study aims to show how the maintenance of holy life and love in the church requires intentional and continual cultivation by the church. If the church is to be continually sanctified then it must intentionally invest in the sanctification of its members. The article examines three historic examples of catechesis in order to exhibit models whereby the church has taken seriously the task of forming disciples who display holiness of heart and life. This article looks at the Didache and On the Apostolic Tradition, as well a John Wesley's use of societies, class meetings, and band meetings to …

A Fresh Expression Of "And Are We Yet Alive?", George Hendricks, Kelli Taylor
A Fresh Expression Of "And Are We Yet Alive?", George Hendricks, Kelli Taylor
The Asbury Journal
The paper addresses the decline in membership and overall societal influence of The United Methodist Church. In response to these life-threatening developments, new forms of ministry are emerging within the church. Many of these new ministries are grouped under a program called "Fresh Expressions" which began in the Church of England and are effectively being implemented in American Methodism. Storefront churches are discussed, bi-vocational ministers are considered and the concept of the "Third Place" as a form of ministry is introduced. Three focused interviews are utilized to understand the need and necessity for changes in the way The United Methodist …
African Christians Or Christian Africans: Byang H. Kato And His Contextual Theology, Sochanngam Shirik
African Christians Or Christian Africans: Byang H. Kato And His Contextual Theology, Sochanngam Shirik
The Asbury Journal
Byang Henry Kato, a promising African Christian leader, passed away in 1975 at only 39 years of age. In spite of his brief career, he has left his imprint on the pages of African Christian history. He is not without his supporters and critics alike. It appears that while his critics have misunderstood him in some aspects, his supporters have not paid enough attention to his theological conviction and articulation. While this article aims at clarifying some of Kato's conviction, it also informs readers how, regardless of context and time, others can appreciate, learn, and even adopt some aspects of …
