Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review This issue of the Divinity School Review presents several occasional pieces which have come out of the recent life of the Divinity School. Each of these pieces issues a call to faithful stewardship of our special responsibilities. At the installation of Dean Jameson Jones, Dr. Leon Pacala, the Executive Director of the Association of Theological Schools, challenged our institution to excellence. As an initial part of our response, we went to share Dr. Pacala's vision with our alumni and friends. Dr. W. D. Davies retired at the end of the 1980-81 academic year. He has brought distinction to Duke as a New Testament scholar of international prominence. He has also been a teacher, colleague, and friend to many in the Divinity School. In a sermon and an address, both delivered in his last year, Dr. Davies reflects on his time at Duke and, through recollection, set goals for the future. Dr. Robert E. Cushman has always served the church by active service and acute reflection upon its life. In the present article, he brings his unusual theological sensitivity to bear upon the practical organization of church life as he challenges Methodists to make their polity congruent with their doctrinal commitments. Dr. Cushman continues to teach the Spring Semester of each year in the Divinity school. The present time is, for the Divinity School, one of transition and renewal under the leadership of Dean Jameson Jones. It is appropriate that we heed the past and set clear goals for a distinctive future. These articles serve to remind us of and claim our efforts for our special tasks.

However, entering students are cautioned not to look to my example this morning for an instance of good expository form, for the bearing of the text will only become evident at the end, and that is very poor preaching indeed!

And then while I slept or drank Wittenberg beer with my Philip and my Amsdorf, the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that never a prince or Emperor did such damage to it. I did nothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 38: Winter 1973 What I did not know was that something like a candid camera experience was about to happen to me. It was the day for celebrating holy communion. I was not in the mood for it. I wanted to nurse my private thoughts. I did not want to consider the implications of being in community. I think I rather enjoyed the pangs of feeling lonely. We were using the Alternate Text, 1972. At the section for the Affirmation of Faith I began to read, along with others, and, while reading, to compare the phrases of the Alternate Text with the familiar ones I had recited thousands of times. I became so occupied with the exercise of comparison that I really did not consider the full meaning of the revisions. With considerable surprise (an experience not unlike being on candid camera) I heard on my own lips the last three lines of the Affirmation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 42: Winter, 1977 We thank thee, O God, that thou has called us to serve thee in the work of this school. We remember with gratitude our fellows who labored here to advance the training of young ministers of Christ. We thank thee for the tasks we have been given to do in our time of passage, and the strength to do what we could. Establish thou the work of our hands, according to thy Word; and to thee shall be the praise. Amen. As presiding minister that morning, I was struck by Dean Cannon's prayer. In retrospect, it seemed to me nothing could have been more appropriate. With terse eloquence it said: Sic transit gloria mundi. But, above all, it said: We are a cloud of witnesses in transit, and what it has been given us to invest looks beyond itself for its justification. So it is, and thine shall be the praise world without end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 36: Winter, 1971 Numerous attempts have been made in recent months to explain the lethargy, apathy, and outright apostasy of the Church in response to the great human issues which are before us as a society.1 It is my contention that the locus of the crisis in the Church is not to be found in the committees, boards and agencies of the denomination, but in the faith of its membership. The real issue before the Christian Church in our time is the crisis of belief in the churches and, until that is recognized and dealt with effectively, there will be little cause for hope that the Church will institutionalize a ministry of integrity in the world. The Church does what it believes, just as the individual finally makes his definitive confession of faith in and through his man ner of living in the world. The response made by the institutional Church to the issues of war, poverty, racism, and other forms of social injustice, is the direct expression of its apprehension, or lack of ap prehension, of the revelation of God in jesus Christ, for theology and ethics are one. To deal with the crisis in the Church as though it were of an organizational or institutional nature would be to miss the point. The Church never acts prophetically in the world unless there is in its life a prophetic faith that motivates it so to act. The real crisis of the Church, therefore, is the crisis of belief in the churches and the inevitable conclusion is that the ministry has failed in its function as teacher and theologian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 45: Winter 1980 Now to return - after an over-lengthy absence, you may well think - to the doctrine of Providence. What sort of picture emerges if we apply the notion of God's power as the power of 'persuasion' here? Clearly, it would mean abandoning for good the notion of a divine super-plan governing every detail of life and existence. 'persuasion' leaves too much room for creaturely freedom and spontaneity for that. But does any-one really want to preserve the idea of a such a divine plan any-way? Would not the evil we can, or could if we wanted to, see so evident in our world (if not in ourselves) be overwhelming evidence against such a plan? Or else a decisive indictment against the character of God, if he did plan it all? To do away with the idea of a divine plan does not, however, mean doing away with purpose. On the contrary, the divine per suasion presupposes it. Philosophical speculation and analysis such as Whitehead and Hartshorne engage in can give some delineation of this purpose. As I have indicated, it is conceived in terms of bringing into harmony the increasingly complex ele ments of the cosmos engaged in the on-going creative process. Yet there is surely no reason why Christian faith could not take this framework and, in the context of the experience of the Christian community, fill it out with dynamic content. More bluntly, and biblically, God's love, love for his creation, love in which he wants his creatures to share; love not as a sentimental make-believe or some noble ideal, but love as it has been defined, let loose in the world, in a life lived, incarnated in jesus Christ. And if this is the purpose - that Christ shall be all in all - then surely 'persuasion' is a much more fitting, appropriate and credi ble agent than force.

This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 34: Winter Autumn, 1969 The reason is manifest: Christian ministry is not something any one inaugurates; jesus Christ did that! And Christian ministry is always living participation With him in his ministry. Christian vo cation, then, is something received. It is a mission by which we are grasped. It is a tradition by which we may be fed and led in the measure that we comprehend it and partake of it or, in the language of the day, identify with it. If, then, we are to have a Christian ministry, I believe it must be by discriminating identification with the tradition of which we are heirs. Today, therefore, I venture a few re ections on the subject of tradition and in support of Tradition. I wish to think of it, basically, as heritage, even as the matrix and carrier of distinctively humane history. We may think of tradition as the thread of history. I myself would go so far as to claim that tradition is what makes the difference between nature and history, between process and vocation, between necessity and freedom, between compulsion and morality. Tradition is not just preface; it is destiny. To suggest that the subject of tradition is timely is, I recognize, not to say that it is in vogue or that the word tradition rates high among the in-words of our era. On the contrary, at no time since the Enlightenment has anti-traditionalism enjoyed wider patronage, either secular or religious. One may even surmise that at no time in recorded history has the tide of revolt against traditions risen so high. At no time have traditional mores, or religion, or politics, or just plain earning a living fallen under the reproach of so many anti - traditionalists.

This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 41: Winter 1976 This issue of the Review is about preaching. In recent years, preaching has been ridiculed, maligned, and dispossessed even by those whose ordination sets them aside for the ministry of word. The prologue of the gospel of John calls the chief actor in all things The Word, and the great reformers viewed this whole area as absolutely central in the life of the church. Yet preaching has seemed empty and futile for many persons in ministry, and they have hoped for more significant activities such as counseling, edu cation, community action, small groups, etc. These are vital minis tries, but they have not yet displaced preaching as an integral part of the life of the Church. There are many evidences of the enduring power and mystery of preaching and some suggestions that we are now in a renaissance of interest and purpose relative to true preaching. The articles that follow will encourage all those who have anything at all to do with the word preached and heard to lift high their expectations for the place of the pulpit in the Christian Church. Carlyle Marney, who has helped many preachers to discover a dialogical learning - teaching - preaching - being in the community of faith, describes vividly and helpfully The Fundaments of Com petent Ministry. He suggests that the word competent could be changed to pastoral or preaching (the Fundaments of Preaching Ministry). Some new resources for Biblical preaching are related to the ecumenical lectionary - (cocu Vatican Council 11 declared that at mass the treasures of the Bible should be opened up more lavishly so that richer fare might be provided for the faithful at the table of God's word. The development of a new Roman Catholic lectionary beginning in 1970 followed. American Protes tants, some of them consulted in the preparation of said lectionary, considered the Roman Catholic Lessons as they revised their own books of worship. There is sufficient unity in the resulting lection aries of several traditions to allow an inter-denominational publi cation of aids for interpreting the Lessons of the Church Year. This series of twenty-five books entitled Proclamation is reviewed by Lloyd Bailey, and the matter of lectionary preaching is addressed.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, 1975, Vol. 40 Can one be surprised that Harnack was concerned? That which he had spent his mature years on creating, a theology based on sound historical data, was in danger of being torn down, it seemed; no teacher likes to see that happening. Yet Harnack was a greater man than to go on the attack just because it looked as if someone was trying to demolish his work. He feared that theology would pass into the hands of gurus, would become the craft of occultists, of a new breed of gnostics, of a new Marcion redivivus. (this phrase comes from a footnote from the second edition of Harnack's still unsurpassed monograph on Marcion, on which he was working during this confrontation with Barth. In that footnote that phrase is quite clearly a description of Barth.) Elsewhere I have set out in detail what Harnack means by despising theology. A summary must suffice here: despisers of theology are, according to Harnack, metaphysical, speculative, unhistorical, gnostic and occult in their theological outlook. Instead of defending his own position, Barth counter-attacked. Again, that counterattack is analysed in detail in that work I just alluded In summary, it amounts to a charge of having lost what is determinative in Christian theology: the self-manifestation of God to man in the gracious condescension of the Christ event. Who was right? I am not inclined now to judge that issue; we are too close still to the protagonists. Yet we shall forever fail to assess either of the positions rightly if we make either this one or that one our own battle-station. But we can go on searching for an answer to our title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 29: Winter 1964 With what measure of satisfaction the Council fathers turned homeward a second time can only be a matter of surmise. It is fairly plain that all were weary, chastened, and yet hopeful. In two sessions, totaling seventy-nine General Congregations, only two schema of the originally prepared seventeen had been perfected. During the second session three others of central importance had been extensively debated. The fathers had listened to 596 speeches on the part of colleagues. They had heard approximately 24 reports from Council commissioners, charged with preparation, emendation, and re-drafting of decrees. Collectively, they had written thousands of proposed emendations for schemata which in turn had to be reviewed, assessed, and incorporated or rejected by the appropriate drafting committees. Eighty-nine secret ballots had been taken respecting the substance of decrees, not counting nine votes of cloture on further discussion. Each morning at 8 30 the Council fathers had celebrated mass. They had prayed together, endured together, hoped together, jostled one another in the press of the coffee bars - Bar-rabbas or Bar Jonah. N ow they would go home, some together, others singly to remote corners of the earth. They would resume their essential role in far flung places as pastors of pastors and shepherds of souls. And most, I think, would face with renewed spirit and devotion the varying exigencies which the Catholic Church confronts in widely differing parts of the world. There is no doubt in my mind that the devout and compassionate concern of John XXIII for the inner renewal of the Catholic Church has both inspired and released a latent and ripening response on the part of the Church's episcopal leadership, and that from widely differing areas of the world. Not unanimously but predominantly the mood of the Council is one of self-searching. Pastoral concern for the salvation of mankind seems to have replaced dogmatic arrogance or fearful self-defensiveness. There is a leaven of openness at work in the midst and a growing and devout concern for the recovery of essential Christian community, first among brethren within the Church and, secondly, with brethren outside the Catholic fold. It is this leaven and this predominant but not uncontested mood and spirit which, I believe, promises to make the Second Vatican Council, in the end, a fruitful as well as fateful milestone in the history of ecu menical Christianity.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 31: Bicentennial of American Methodism; Winter, 1966 Therefore, in summary, we believe that, at Duke, there is special justification for a focus upon the 200th anniversary of the Methodist Church in America, because Methodism played a decisive role in the University's founding, it continues to give something more than token financial support, and most of the key leaders in our great Fifth Decade campaign receive their spiritual nourishment in the Methodist Church today. What conclusion should we draw from this? What does it all mean? That Methodist students at Duke should be given better grades in Chemistry than Baptist students? That Methodists should be given preferred seats at home basketball games? That Methodist professors should receive higher salaries than Presbyterians? That Methodist Fords should be given better campus parking places than Episcopalian Cadillacs? Merely to express these questions in words is to reveal the im possibility and the undesirability of preferential treatment of Meth: odism on this intentionally interdenominational campus. What, their, should we conclude from the fact that the Methodist Church has played, and will continue to play a decisive role in the fortunes of the University? The only conclusion which I care to press here is that the students and faculty who have benefited and will benefit so largely from the influence of American Methodism should take a bit of time to become knowledgeable about that church. I suggest that enough time be spent in study that is free from negative bias, at least to dispel the worst mis-conceptions which some people have of Methodism. The actual shortcomings and the genuine weaknesses of Methodist people and of the Methodist Church are bad enough! They do not need to be made to appear worse than they are by distortion and out right fabrication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 37: Internships; Winter, 1972 Basically, however, I chose to spend a year on the overseas mis sion internship not because it afforded me the opportunity to go some where, but because it allowed me to go to Africa in particular. I contend that considerations about the relevance to my future ministry as a pastor in Mississippi played an important role in my decision to participate in the program. Many areas of Mississippi, the con text of my own pastoral work, are more than fifty percent black. It was my desire to have an extended period of contact on a close inter personal level wit-h men and women of the Negro race. I had black friends in America before I went to Africa, but I also felt that these friendships were formed and nurtured under peculiar circumstances. That is to say, I felt that my relationships with black people were always the result of structured attempts at being friends. A certain spontaneity and genuineness were lacking. Hopefully, the experience in Rhodesia would enable me, having successfully broken through racial prejudices and cultural barriers there, to do the same in my own homeland. I was Optimistic enough, and still am, to hope that soon a minister in Mississippi will have the freedom and the convic tion to consider himself a minister to all segments of the population. I did not want my ministry to suffer from isolation, provincialism, and ignorance; I wanted some experience in interracial and cross cultural relationships which my own environment had simply not af forded.
