El Gemir De Dios: Los Suspiros De Jesús En Marcos 7:34 Y 8:12, Rachel L. Coleman Jan 2024

El Gemir De Dios: Los Suspiros De Jesús En Marcos 7:34 Y 8:12, Rachel L. Coleman

The Asbury Journal

El lenguaje de gemir/suspirar ([ἀνα-]στενάζω) en Marcos 7:34 y 8:12, cuando se pone al lado del uso de los términos en la LXX y el NT, provee un vistazo poderoso del misterio de la Encarnación, cuando el Hijo del Hombre gime/suspira en solidaridad con la humanidad y la creación y el Hijo de Dios gime/suspira en concierto con el Padre y el Espíritu en la obra escatológica de liberación, sanidad y restauración.

“Chieftain, Farewell”: Bishop Matthew Simpson’S Funeral Address To Abraham Lincoln, Samuel J. Rogal Jan 2024

“Chieftain, Farewell”: Bishop Matthew Simpson’S Funeral Address To Abraham Lincoln, Samuel J. Rogal

The Asbury Journal

This article reflects back on the historic oration by Methodist Bishop Matthew Simpson at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois in 1865. Matthew Simpson was one of the most prominent orators of his day and had built up political connections during the Lincoln Presidency. Bishop Simpson in many ways represents the rising respectability of Methodism in the United States as its influence grew and Methodism became more acceptable among society and in political circles. Simpson even represents a form of Christian nationalism which emerges from his funeral address and the way he portrays the “martyred” president.

Santidad Y Misiones Pentecostales En El Salvador: El Ejemplo De Federico Ernesto Mebius, Robert A. Danielson Jan 2024

Santidad Y Misiones Pentecostales En El Salvador: El Ejemplo De Federico Ernesto Mebius, Robert A. Danielson

The Asbury Journal

A Federico Mebius se le atribuye el mérito de ser el primer misionero pentecostal en El Salvador, pero su historia es más complicada. Como misionero de la Alianza Cristiana y Misionera en Bolivia, Mebius formó parte del Movimiento de Santidad. El seguimiento de su historia revela una brecha de información desde 1903 hasta 1908, desde Los Ángeles, California, hasta El Paso, Texas. Mientras tanto, la historia oral sitúa a Mebius como fundador de iglesias alrededor de 1904 en El Salvador. Esta historia crea un espacio para explorar las misiones de Santidad que surgieron de Los Ángeles y especular sobre cómo …


A Deal With The Devil: Pragmatic Mission And Early American Methodism’S Complicity With Slavery, William Payne Jan 2024

A Deal With The Devil: Pragmatic Mission And Early American Methodism’S Complicity With Slavery, William Payne

The Asbury Journal

Early American Methodism inherited a staunch abolitionist position from John Wesley. Bishops Francis Asbury and Thomas Coke strongly opposed slavery. Under their leadership, the early minutes and disciplines included a series of rules that required preachers to free their slaves and ameliorate the effects of slavery. They also waged an ongoing “war” with the various state legislatures that allowed slavery. After a strong backlash threatened Methodism’s ability to minister to slaves, enter plantations, and work in the South, the church prioritized the evangelistic mandate over the cultural mandate. The compromise mitigated social hostility and allowed Methodism to become the largest …


A Plain Account Of Christian Purity: Berlin Walls, Dean G. Blevins, Marie Gregg Jan 2024

A Plain Account Of Christian Purity: Berlin Walls, Dean G. Blevins, Marie Gregg

The Asbury Journal

While theological definitions of holiness incorporate purity terminology among several metaphors, the challenges resident in using this language may well impede opportunities of engaging difference and reconciliation. Wesleyans need a “Plain Account” of Christian purity to guide both ecclesial discussions that stress not only strengths, but also limits, in purity thinking. Using an example involving the Church of the Nazarene and Pentecostalism, the writing reveals how purity thinking risks creating “Berlin walls” when engaging differences. The analysis argues that a moral fear of degradation, rather than an acknowledgment of difference, often pushes purity thinkers to oppose certain issues.


H.C. Morrison And The Holiness Union Of The South, Robert A. Danielson Jan 2024

H.C. Morrison And The Holiness Union Of The South, Robert A. Danielson

The Asbury Journal

Holiness history in the southern United States tends to view the movement as a collection of local or regional churches or institutions without a unified organization. This view often overlooks the work of H.C. Morrison and an organization he founded called the Holiness Union of the South. It began in 1904 and lasted through 1915 and sought to unite the Holiness work in a fashion similar to the National Holiness Association in the northern United States. The Union focused on the areas of mission, education, and publishing- areas which smaller organizations were ill-equipped to operate. While the Union was initially …


The New York Circuit And The City Missions Movement: Temporary Spaces, Quarterly Meeting Collaboration, And Rented Pews, Philip Hardt Jan 2024

The New York Circuit And The City Missions Movement: Temporary Spaces, Quarterly Meeting Collaboration, And Rented Pews, Philip Hardt

The Asbury Journal

It is well-known that, by 1850, the Methodist Episcopal Church had become the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. Indeed, camp meetings, dedicated itinerant preachers, and a democratic structure that utilized laypeople helped fuel this explosive growth, especially as Methodism moved westward. Yet, upon closer examination, the church’s growth occurred more slowly, especially in the long-established urban areas on the east coast. This is illustrated by the New York Circuit’s struggle to respond not only to the new “city missions” movement beginning in 1816, but also to new church construction in the other, more prosperous, parts of Manhattan. Although …


Why Did Disciples Anoint With Oil For Healing In Mark 6:13?, Craig S. Keener Jan 2024

Why Did Disciples Anoint With Oil For Healing In Mark 6:13?, Craig S. Keener

The Asbury Journal

This short essay explores the cultural meanings behind the practice of anointing people with oil for healing within the context of scripture. This work is the result of research which is not being published elsewhere due to space limitations, but is considered significant and of interest to many in the Global Church today. While it does not fit the full definition of an academic article, it remains an essay which can clarify and illuminate the issue of anointing with oil for many leaders and laity in the church.

The Hispanics: The Legacy From The Past And The Claim On The Future, Roberto Escamilla Jan 2024

The Hispanics: The Legacy From The Past And The Claim On The Future, Roberto Escamilla

The Asbury Journal

This article is a transcript from a chapel given at Asbury Theological Seminary on April 28, 1981 in Estes Chapel as part of the Freitas lecture series on Ministry Among the Hispanic People. This was one of the earliest lecture series devoted to the potential future of Hispanic ministry in the United States, and Escamilla lays out in a brief and engaging way, both the history and the potential influence of the Hispanic community on the culture and faith of the United States. Such an insightful review of the situation of Hispanic ministry from over 40 years ago, allows for …

An Approach To The History Of Missions In The Church Of The Nazarene In Cuba, Mirelys Correoso Calzadilla Jan 2024

An Approach To The History Of Missions In The Church Of The Nazarene In Cuba, Mirelys Correoso Calzadilla

The Asbury Journal

The history of a church is impossible to tell if the chronicles of its missions are ignored. It is the latter that give it life and continuity. This article aims to present a brief historical review of the development of the missions in the Church of the Nazarene in Cuba. We begin with Miss Leona Gardner, a North American missionary, who arrived on the island in 1902. She preached the gospel in the area of Casilda, Trinidad, in the former province of Santi Espíritus, for 25 years. The merit lies in the fact that although she did not manage to …


Strength In The Midst Of Loneliness: An Ecuadorian Christian Woman’S Experience Of Widowhood, Elis Damarys Carrión Flores, Christian Bermeo Valencia Jan 2024

Strength In The Midst Of Loneliness: An Ecuadorian Christian Woman’S Experience Of Widowhood, Elis Damarys Carrión Flores, Christian Bermeo Valencia

The Asbury Journal

In Ecuador, most cases of widowhood correspond to women, many of these believers. Although I cannot prove that this is certain in all cases, my experience has shown me that many widows feel alone and unprotected at some point in their life. This article reflects on the biblical affirmation that God is close to the afflicted and the weary to strengthen them (Ps. 34:18; 73:26), and focuses on the feeling of loneliness that accompanies widowhood, doing this in light of the Word of God and my own personal experience. The essay has four parts. In the first two, we contextualize …


Fortaleza En Medio De La Soledad. Experiencia De La Viudez De Una Mujer Cristiana Del Ecuador, Elis Damarys Carrión Flores, Christian Bermeo Valencia Jan 2024

Fortaleza En Medio De La Soledad. Experiencia De La Viudez De Una Mujer Cristiana Del Ecuador, Elis Damarys Carrión Flores, Christian Bermeo Valencia

The Asbury Journal

n Ecuador, la mayoría de los casos de viudez corresponden a mujeres, muchas de ellas creyentes. Aunque no puedo asegurar que esto sea cierto en todos los casos, mi experiencia me ha mostrado que muchas viudas se sienten solas y desprotegidas en algún momento de su vida. Este artículo reflexiona sobre la afirmación bíblica de que Dios está cerca del afligido y abatido para fortalecerlo (Salmo 34:18 y Salmo 73:26), enfocándose en el sentimiento de soledad que acompaña a la viudez, a la luz de la Palabra y mi propia experiencia. El documento se divide en cuatro apartados. En los …


Jesús, El Mártir Arquetípico Y Sus Seguidores En Apocalipsis, Bart Bruehler, Rachel Coleman Jan 2024

Jesús, El Mártir Arquetípico Y Sus Seguidores En Apocalipsis, Bart Bruehler, Rachel Coleman

The Asbury Journal

El elemento central del retrato juanino de Jesús en Apocalipsis es su identidad paradójica como el Cordero inmolado que ha vencido precisamente por su sufrimiento y como el martus (testigo) fiel y arquetípico. Los dos conceptos, mártir y testigo, se entrelazan en el retrato de Jesús y son paradigmáticos para los seguidores fieles del Cordero viviendo en medio de un contexto hostil.

‘Launched Upon Its God-Ordained Career’: The Founding Of The Holiness Association Of Texas, Ryan Kristopher Giffin Jan 2023

‘Launched Upon Its God-Ordained Career’: The Founding Of The Holiness Association Of Texas, Ryan Kristopher Giffin

The Asbury Journal

The Holiness Association of Texas was one of several local, regional, and state holiness associations established during the Holiness Movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Active from 1900 to 1910, the Holiness Association of Texas should rank among the most historically important of these para-church associations. Its work was significant and its membership was noteworthy. This article provides a historical account of the association’s founding. It offers a more extensive treatment than has yet been produced and corrects factual errors from previous accounts. Furthermore, unlike previous accounts, it engages with the original minutes of the association’s meetings.
