This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The Duke Divinity School Review Vol 43 written by Duke Divinity School and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 43: Winter, 1978 Just a decade ago some Presbyterian executives in planning manuals for each of the stated committees of the Session (ruling board) of each congregation, expressed strong feeling that little prescription should be offered to the worship committees of each parish. How a congregation worships (they reasoned) should be left to the desires of the minister and the worship committee; as if no tradition in worship were more sacrosanct than a specific tradition. Although renewed interest over the past century in the historic liturgies of several Protestant denominations has produced denominationally approved service books with designated congregational participation, such established orders, litanies and prayers enjoy little popularity in free churches today. Offices of Worship and Music have had difficulty in getting started or supported in several such denominations because the need remains low on the list of denominational priorities. Until quite recently ministers and congregations simply have not felt the need to question what they have been used to doing on Sunday morning, nor have they sensed much desire within themselves to be informed and enlivened by their liturgical heritage. For all the liturgical experimentation over the past decade, the average Protestant parishioner still comes to worship expecting the sermon to be the main event. Calls to worship, prayers, responses and readings serve mainly for such worshipers as preliminaries that lead to the sermon. In my first pastorate a middle-aged woman each Sunday purposely arrived at worship a half hour late. She asserted that she had no intention of putting up with all that fol-de-rol before the sermon. Since the initial Puritan influence on American worship three hundred years ago the sermon has dominated most Protestant worship,24 creating in congregations the assumption that worship is mainly a matter Of sitting and listening. Some communions betray this bias by calling the sanctuary the auditorium, namely a place of hearing. As James White points out, The question we have been accustomed to hear from someone who missed church was, 'what did he say?' 25 indicating how closely identified free church worship has become with the sermon. With some Protestants attending worship is tantamount to going to preaching. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word; otherwise I did nothing. 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. The Word did it all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review, Vol. 33: Winter 1968 For the Convocation address of this morning, I believe I have a text from Scripture. It is the familiar line of I Corinthians 13 13: But now abideth faith, hope and love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. 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!

Download or read book The Duke Divinity School Review Vol 34 written by Duke University Divinity School and published by Forgotten Books. 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.

Book The Duke Divinity School Review  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Duke Divinity School Review Classic Reprint written by Duke University; Divinity School and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 146 pages. 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.

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 2017-12-09 with total page 234 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.

Download or read book The Duke Divinity School Review Vol 36 written by Duke University Divinity School and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 286 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.
