The Engagement Of Newcomers In Church Attendance: Theological And Case Study Research From Australia, Ian Hussey

Great Commission Research Journal

Church attendance, as a percentage of population, is declining in Australia. However, the Australian National Church Life Survey (NCLS) has identified a number of churches that have large percentages of what the NCLS calls “newcomers”—those who have joined their church in the previous five years and had not previously attended a church.

A model of church engagement in the first century churches is identified and its effectiveness in twenty-first century Australia confirmed.

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Paul's Witness To Biblical Monotheism As Isaiah's Servant In Acts, William Kurz Jul 2012

Paul's Witness To Biblical Monotheism As Isaiah's Servant In Acts, William Kurz

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

The influence of the book of Isaiah on Luke and Acts has been widely discussed and generally admitted.' It has also become a consensus that Luke used the Septuagint (LXX) Isaiah rather than pre-Masoretic Hebrew texts. The Greek translations of Luke's time had already applied and modified the theology of Hebrew Isaiah in usually small but sometimes significant ways.' It is also important to realize that the Lukan author was not aware that the especially influential section, "Second Isaiah;' was a separate writing by a later author. Rather, Luke read the canonical Isaiah as a unified biblical book.
