For The Renewal Of Repentence: The Lukan Texts In Lent, Gary M. Simpson
For The Renewal Of Repentence: The Lukan Texts In Lent, Gary M. Simpson
Faculty Publications
“When our lord and master Jesus Christ said, ‘repent,’ he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.” With these opening words of Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses, the Reformation erupted on the western Christian world. The renewal of repentance has often energized God’s mission and ministry. For instance, one might recall the mission of the eighth-century Hebrew prophets or of John the Baptist or of Peter on Pentecost or even of Jesus himself. The Lukan texts for Lent (Series C) in their distinctive way proffer a renewal of repentance for mission and ministry today.

“Names, Hypocoristic,” In Anchor Bible Dictionary, Dana M. Pike
“Names, Hypocoristic,” In Anchor Bible Dictionary, Dana M. Pike
Faculty Publications
A hypocoristicon is generally a single-element name resulting from the shortening of an originally longer one. Hebrew names and Semitic names in general, were often composed of two elements (or, as was often the case in Akkadian names and sometimes the case with West Semitic ones, three elements) which formed a nominal or verbal sentence.
Pentecost: Paul The Pastor In 2 Corinthians, David E. Fredrickson
Pentecost: Paul The Pastor In 2 Corinthians, David E. Fredrickson
Faculty Publications
To read 2 Corinthians is to watch a pastor at work. Paul practices, describes, defends, and commends to his audience his pastoral ministry. Something quite rare presents itself in this letter: an extended argument for the ministry of the gospel offered by a practitioner in the heat of the moment. My task is to disclose that heat. What does it mean to place pastoral practice at the center of the interpretation of Pauline epistles? Is this not anachronistic? There is indeed the danger of reading into the text what by habit has become pastoral practice in North America. Nevertheless, by …
Resurrection And The New Age, Patrick R. Keifert
Resurrection And The New Age, Patrick R. Keifert
Faculty Publications
As as a general indicator of developing religious sensibilities in American culture, the New Age bears continued Christian interest. It remains, at the very least, a very important resource for understanding trends in American culture and for identifying opportunities for Christian theology and mission. Among these opportunities that New Age movements provide for Christian theology and mission is the opportunity to address religious and metaphysical questions which for many years have been of little interest to a general audience. These metaphysical questions include popular discussion of cosmology, ontology, God, the soul, free will, and a renewed interest in religious experience.
The Passion And Resurrection According To John, Craig R. Koester
The Passion And Resurrection According To John, Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
The story of the passion follows the upward movement of the pendulum. It begins with Jesus in the posture of a slave, washing his disciples’ feet (chap. 13); but concludes when Thomas recognizes that Jesus is both Lord and God (20:28), bringing the story back to the high point where it began in 1:1. Each year John’s passion account appears in the lectionary for Holy Week and his story of the resurrection is appointed for Easter and the Sunday after Easter, providing an opportunity for sustained reading and proclamation of these texts. John’s narrative is masterfully told; the drama is …

Adventist Doctrines And Progressive Revelation, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Adventist Doctrines And Progressive Revelation, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
Progressive revelation has played an important role in the development of the Seventh-day Adventist church and its theology. By “progressive revelation” I mean God’s continuous unfolding of prior revealed truth.1 Without such progressive revelation, the unfolding of inspired truth building on truth previously revealed and never denying it, the Seventh-day Adventist Church would not exist.

Review: Theophoric Personal Names In Ancient Hebrew: A Comparative Study, Dana M. Pike
Faculty Publications
A revision of the author's doctoral dissertation (University of Liverpool, 1980), the main purpose of this volume "is to discover what concepts of the deity are revealed in Hebrew personal names, and to find out to what extent Hebrew ideas concerning the deity are distinct from those of other Semitic religions" (p. 19).

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ As Taught By The Nephite Prophets, Noel B. Reynolds
The Gospel Of Jesus Christ As Taught By The Nephite Prophets, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
Three definitional passages in the Book of Mormon define the gospel or doctrine of Christ precisely as the way or means by which an individual can come to Christ and be saved. Jesus Christ is quoted in all three passages teaching a six-part formula: All men and women who will (1) believe or trust in him, (2) repent of all their sins, and (3) witness to the Father that they have so repented and taken his name upon them, will (4) receive a remission of sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost, which will guide and sustain them as …

The Brass Plates Version Of Genesis, Noel B. Reynolds
The Brass Plates Version Of Genesis, Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
Phraseology occurring in Joseph Smith's "Book of Moses" matches Book of Mormon passages, but not the Bible. Given that the Book of Mormon claims a different source, the brass plates, this finding would be consistent with the conclusion that the Book of Moses and the brass plates versions of Genesis are more similar to each other than to the modern biblical version.
'The Savior Of The World' (John 4:42), Craig R. Koester
'The Savior Of The World' (John 4:42), Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4 draws on themes of Roman imperialism and Samaria’s colonial history. The Samaritan townspeople call Jesus “the Savior of the world” (4:42), a title used for Roman emperors from Julius Caesar to Hadrian. They go out to meet Jesus and welcome him to their town, a practice used to welcome emperors and other dignitaries. Using a title of empire-wide significance emphasizes that Jesus now transcends older national divisions. The Samaritan woman speaks as an individual and representative of her people. Her personal history with five husbands parallels her national history of colonization …
The Fourth Gospel In A Three-Year Lectionary, Craig R. Koester
The Fourth Gospel In A Three-Year Lectionary, Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
The Gospel of John does not march in step with the other gospels. Perhaps this is why the framers of the three-year lectionary now used by many Christian churches found it so difficult to domesticate John. The readings from Matthew, Mark, and Luke proceed in measured pace, one gospel per year, while the Fourth Gospel appears sporadically throughout the lectionary, claiming a premier role on festival days, dominating the Easter season, and making occasional guest appearances. Yet since there is no “Year of John,” those who preach from the lectionary face the formidable task of capturing this “maverick” gospel without …

How Much Is He Worth?, C. Mervyn Maxwell
"Minor" Prophets In The Midst Of Pentecost, Mark A. Throntveit
"Minor" Prophets In The Midst Of Pentecost, Mark A. Throntveit
Faculty Publications
The Old Testament lessons for Pentecost 18, 19, and 20 are drawn from the works of two of the so-called minor prophets, Amos and Habakkuk. In our first passage, Amos 8:4-7(8), the dichotomy of faith and life—compartmentalized religion that sees no reason to let the understandings and experiences of worship affect the activities of the rest of life—comes to the fore. Our second passage, Amos 6:1-7, depicts the incongruity of the way of the affluent: lolling around Samaria, totally oblivious to the “ruin of Joseph” (Amos 6:6) or to the judgment that God will soon visit upon them by means …

Opportunity To Do Good: The Letter To The Galatians, Craig R. Koester
Opportunity To Do Good: The Letter To The Galatians, Craig R. Koester
Faculty Publications
This message may have been attractive to the Galatians because they considered Paul’s gospel of freedom inadequate. The law would give them clear marks of identity, such as circumcision and distinctive rituals. Moreover, it would offer clear directives on how to deal with the Galatians as a form of neurotic legalism. The new preachers were apparently saying something like this: “the flesh with its passions and desires” (5:24), and what to do when someone “is overtaken in any trespass” (6:1). Paul accepts the challenges presented by these issues, as the modern preacher must do. His letter will argue for freedom—and …
