The Groaning Of God: Jesus’ Sighs In Mark 7:34 And 8:12, Rachel L. Coleman
The Groaning Of God: Jesus’ Sighs In Mark 7:34 And 8:12, Rachel L. Coleman
The Asbury Journal
Mark’s use of sighing/groaning language ([ἀνα-]στενάζω) in 7:34 and 8:12, when set alongside the LXX and other NT use of the terms, provides a powerful glimpse of the mystery of the Incarnation, as the Son of Man groans in solidarity with humanity and creation and the Son of God groans in concert with the Father and the Spirit in the eschatological work of liberation, healing, and restoration.
A Deal With The Devil: Pragmatic Mission And Early American Methodism’S Complicity With Slavery, William Payne
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 …
“Exiles, Aliens, And Strangers”: Reading And Living In The Company Of The Global Church, Rachel L. Coleman
“Exiles, Aliens, And Strangers”: Reading And Living In The Company Of The Global Church, Rachel L. Coleman
The Asbury Journal
The use of “exile, alien, and stranger” language by New Testament writers in their descriptions of the church provides important insights into the appropriate self-understanding (identity) and the ultimate allegiance of Jesus’ followers. The lived experience of North Atlantic believers can make it hard to hear and internalize this apostolic language for the church; reading in the company of Majority World Christians can open up the possibility of deeper understanding and embodiment of these realities.
“Exiliados, Extranjeros Y Extraños”: Leyendo Y Viviendo En Compañía De La Iglesia Global, Rachel L. Coleman
“Exiliados, Extranjeros Y Extraños”: Leyendo Y Viviendo En Compañía De La Iglesia Global, Rachel L. Coleman
The Asbury Journal
El uso del lenguaje de “exiliados, extranjeros y extraños” por los escritores del Nuevo Testamento en sus descripciones de la iglesia provee percepciones importantes para el auto-entendimiento (identidad) adecuado y la última lealtad de los seguidores de Jesús. La vivencia de los creyentes en el Atlántico del Norte puede dificultar su recepción e internalización de este lenguaje apostólico para la iglesia; leer en compañía con los cristianos del Mundo Mayoritario puede abrir la posibilidad para un entendimiento y una encarnación más profundos de estas realidades.
Un Acercamiento, A La Historia De Las Misiones, De La Iglesia Del Nazareno En Cuba, Mirelys Correoso Calzadilla
Un Acercamiento, A La Historia De Las Misiones, De La Iglesia Del Nazareno En Cuba, Mirelys Correoso Calzadilla
The Asbury Journal
La historia de un una iglesia, es imposible contarla, si se obvia las crónicas de las misiones. Son estas últimas, las que le dan vida y continuidad. Este artículo, pretende hacer una breve reseña histórica, del desarrollo de las misiones, en la Iglesia del Nazareno en Cuba. Comenzamos, con la señorita Leona Gardner, misionera norteamericana, que llegó a la isla en el año 1902. La misma, predicó el evangelio, en la zona de Casilda, Trinidad, antigua provincia de Santi Espíritus, durante 25 años. El mérito estriba, que aunque no logró plantar una iglesia conocida o formalmente instituida, se entregó a …

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