The Covenant Theology Of Francis Roberts, Won Taek Lim Jan 2000

The Covenant Theology Of Francis Roberts, Won Taek Lim

CTS PhD Doctoral Dissertations

The object of this study is to show how the covenant theology of Francis Roberts (1609-1675), an English Puritan, stands in the mainline of the Reformed tradition and assists in defining the seventeenth-century development of "covenant" or "federal" theology. In particular Roberts' covenant theology not only reflects the development and refinement of English covenant thought after the Westminster Assembly but also evidences the ongoing dialogue between the English Reformed writers, the Scottish Reformed writers, and the Reformed thinkers in Europe, particularly in the Netherlands. To judge the place of Roberts' covenant theology in relation to Reformed orthodoxy, the present study …


Divine Passibility, Peter H. Vande Brake Jan 2000

Analysis And Critique Of "Christ The Transformer Of Culture" In The Thought Of H. Richard Niebuhr, Michael Eugene Wittmer Jan 2000

Analysis And Critique Of "Christ The Transformer Of Culture" In The Thought Of H. Richard Niebuhr, Michael Eugene Wittmer

CTS PhD Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation examines the world view slogan, "Christ the transformer of culture," in the thought of its creator, H. Richard Niebuhr. Although the phrase is popular in Neo-Calvinist circles, this study finds that its meaning in Niebuhr's theology deviates from Reformed orthodoxy. In order to understand what Niebuhr intends by Christ transforming culture, we begin by outlining his understanding of the biblical narrative of creation, fall, and redemption. Niebuhr describes the triadic community that exists between God, individuals, and the rest of creation. Unfortunately, humanity has always broken this community by distrusting God and being disloyal to his cause. Such …
