Religion And Politics In Nigeria From 1841-1845: An Essay On Church-State Relationship, Agbonkhianmeghe E. Orobator

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Il est souvent dit que religion, politique et économie s'allient. Emmanuel Orobator, dans son essai, tente de soutenir la thèse suivante: la religion fut le principal instrument qui permit d'asseoir les intérêts politique et économiques britanniques entre 1841 et 1885 dans la région qui, plus tard, se nommera Nigeria. Même si les missionnaires ne sont pas toujours considères comme agents de colonisation, il s'avère que leur collaboration fut largement bénéfique aux colons.

Quaestio Disputata: Delayed Hominization--A Rejoinder To Thomas Shannon, Mark Johnson

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Thomas Shannon's response to my article ranges over our disagreements, but the core disagreement, the one with the heaviest moral fallout, concerns the unity or individuality of the preimplantation embryo. One's position here largely dictates whether its manipulation or destruction is morally licit. That core disagreement is the focus of this rejoinder.

The Open-Ended Nature Of Luke And Acts As Inviting Canonical Actualisation, William Kurz

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Starting from generally accepted narrative insights, this article attempts to justify a canonical reading of Luke and Acts that actualises the Lukan text for contemporary theology and Christian life. It argues that one set of foundations for later actualisation was laid by the original author: that is, the text itself of Luke and Acts has built into it several invitations for its actualisation in later Christians' lives. Among these built-in occasions for canonical actualisation, this article focuses especially on the 'open-endedness' of Luke and Acts toward the future . It examines three specific openings toward actualisation and application: (1) an …

Effects Of Variant Narrators In Acts 10-11, William Kurz

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

One of the cruces interpretum regarding the Acts of the Apostles that continue to reappear in scholarly discussions is why some stories are repeated three or more times. Redaction criticism moved the solutions beyond the earlier theories of multiple sources toward a consensus of attributing repetition to Lukan redaction. One contribution from redactional approaches was the awareness of how emphasis is achieved by repeating accounts of events that are especially pivotal to the overall plot of Acts.

The Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral: Development In An Anglican Approach To Christian Unity, Robert B. Slocum

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

The Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral has served as the primary reference point and working document of the Anglican Communion for ecumenical Christian reunion. It identifies four essential elements for Christian unity in terms of scriptures, creeds, sacraments, and the Historic Episcopate. The Quadrilateral is based on the ecumenical thought and leadership of William Reed Huntington, an Episcopal priest who proposed the Quadrilateral in his book The Church.Idea:/In Essay toward Unity (1870) and who was the moving force behind approval of the Quadrilateral by the House of Bishops of the 1886 General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It was subsequently approved with …

Reassessing Canonical Attitudes Towards African Marriage Practices Based On A Study Of The African Synod, Agbonkhianmeghe E. Orobator

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

African theologians are virtually unanimous in pointing out that the experience and institution of marriage constitute a special test case for the process of inculturation in the Church in Africa. This article studies the problem as it was dealt with by the African Synod, that is, from the perspective of the Code of Canon Law in relation to extremely important issues such as grounds for nullity, consummation of marriage and marital consent. In the author's opinion the Synod opens the way for further discussion and examination of the issues involved rather than provide practical solutions. The pastoral problem of compatibility …

Christ-Our-Guest: A Liturgical Adaptation Of Guest Christology, Agbonkhianmeghe E. Orobator

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Several attempts have been made by African theologians to formulate Christological models for African Christianity. In the preceding issue we published a brief survey of these Christological models, pointing out as one of their deficiencies the lack of a pastoral dimension. This article attempts to remedy this deficiency by constructing a Christological ritual based on Guest Christology and the African understanding of guest. We would be interested in hearing from our readers on the applicability and suitability of this liturgical adaptation.

Christian Assurance In The Face Of Death: Anglican Witnesses, Robert B. Slocum

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Anglican writers from different centuries, continents, and cultures have shared in approaching the topic of death-in particular, their own death-with clarity, directness, and assurance. Such a topic is obviously not limited to Anglican interest or Anglican commentators, but a willingness to engage it is at the heart of much Anglican spiritual and theological writing. Although it is not my intent to identify a distinctively Anglican approach, I shall draw attention to the prominence of the theme in several Anglican writers, showing how they reflect on it with a faith and assurance that puts it in perspective.

These writers value life …
