  • ISAIAH 40–66

Above all, here are prophetical reactions to the great political changes of the day. Further, here are changes in the way ...

  • JESUS CHRIST, HERMENEUTICS, AND SCRIPTURE
    HANS BURGER
    Soteriology, not epistemology, is the best entrance to theological hermeneutics and to the doctrine of Scripture. The triune God uses Scripture to make the community of believers live in Christ.

  • GLOBALIZING LINKAGES
    WANJIRU M. GITAU
    One of the important contemporary but unexplored themes for Christianity in Africa today is its ongoing connections to a broader Christian and non-Christian world. This is quite apart from the idea of mission connections or reverse mission from Africa to elsewhere, or any mission-themed global connection. In much existing scholarship, Africa seems to only have recently been dra...

  • THE PRISM OF TRUTH
    ANTHONY O'HEAR
    An ultimate God, being transcendent, is beyond description in literal terms; our knowledge of the divine nature must be indirect. A prime means of such an indirect approach to the divine is through the religious mythologies that have captivated humankind throughout recorded time, and even earlier. After considering the limitations of scientific thinking in dealing with question...

  • BOTH ONE AND MANY
    OLIVER GRIEBEL
    Meister Eckhart might have liked it. Indeed, many-one thinking is the idea that there is the one ultimate origin, coherence, spirit of it all . . . but not without a multitude and diversity emerging within, which is the evolving universe with planets like Earth, with its biosphere and humankind, with you and me living in it. The Many-One is thought of as the whole of the cosmos...

  • HAUNTED WORDS, HAUNTED SELVES
    COLBY DICKINSON
    We are all haunted by things we fear, repress, and those things of which we have no conscious knowledge. We are thus haunted by a variety of "ghosts" in our lives so that, at times, we might notice those things we have ignored, and so too allow the repressed elements of our world a chance to speak more directly to us. Being honest with ourselves means listening better to what h...

  • RHAPSODY AND REDOLENCE
    CAROL SCOTT / CAITLIN SMITH GILSON
    This is a work of doing, of poesis, an enacting philosophy and theology through immediacy. It seeks to call to mind our original interrogative stance in Being, as did the Eleatic poem, the dialogic power of Plato, even Heidegger's indwelling. Should the philosopher want to recover philosophical wonder, then this is the road to be traveled; thought needs raw unmanageable experie...

  • LAMB OF THE FREE
    ANDREW REMINGTON RILLERA
    Lamb of the Free analyzes the different sacrificial imagery applied to Jesus in the NT in light of the facts that (a) there is no such thing as substitutionary death sacrifice in the Torah--neither death nor suffering nor punishment of the animal has any place in the sacrificial system--and (b) there are both atoning and non-atoning sacrifices. Surprisingly, the earliest and mo...

    Christian sexual ethics operates from a place of privilege when it does not consider those impacted by its moral prescriptions. A large majority of publications on Christian sexual ethics consider choices and images abstracted from lived conditions of the people called to make these decisions. As such, it leaves out many for whom sex is neither welcome nor a choice. As such, th...

  • WORSHIP AND EUCHARIST
    DOUGLAS H. KNIGHT
    Worship is the fundamental form of Christian witness. It turns us away from the ideologies, cults, and gods of power that otherwise dominate our society and destroy lives. Since the church is the witness of God to the society to which it is sent, it worships out in the public square, where the world can watch and hear. In six themes of Gathering, Hearing, Singing, Praying, Euch...
