Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Theology Journal This present publication comprises Volume 2 No. 1 of Semănătorul (The Sower): The Emanuel Journal of Ministry and Biblical Research. It incorporates the Proceedings of the Bi-Annual International Theological Conferences of the Department of Theology held in Emanuel University, Oradea, April and November 2017. The titles of the Conference were: “The Theology of the Cross,” and, “The Doctrine of Justification and Related Themes.” The papers presented here include those given in person by various colleagues of the Emanuel Faculty; others via a Skype call or by invitation. The International Conferences held by the Department of Theology were made possible through the commitment of members of the Emanuel faculty, the collaboration of Emanuel University Press, the Emanuel “Ethics and Society” Research Centre, and the contribution of distinguished colleagues from the Hungarian Baptist Academy, Budapest, The Irish Baptist College, UK and the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas. The Journal includes a range of papers on the death of Christ and the truth of justification by faith. The Christ hymn (Phil 2:5–11) is here, as is the focus upon the invitation in John 6 to “eat the flesh of the Son of God” and to “drink his blood.” Also the whole theology of the cross in the Fourth Gospel is considered. Again the concept of redemption in all the Gospels is discussed, as is a paper on the Holy Spirit and the death of Christ from a Pauline perspective. The theme of the cross in the sermons of Philip Doddridge is highlighted, plus two articles on Luther’s doctrine of justification and the treatment of this theme by the Reformer in the Epistle of James. These articles include a range of affirmations on crucial doctrines and theological themes which must not be lost or neglected. One remembers the exhortation of 2 Tim 2:1–2 to hold to truths that are fundamental and to entrust them “to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” Hamilton Moore, Editor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Theology Journal This is the second issue of Volume 1 of “Semănătorul (The Sower): The Emanuel Journal of Ministry and Biblical Research.” It contains the proceedings of the Bi-Annual International Theological Conference. This was held in Emanuel University, Oradea, in November 2016. The title of the Conference was: “Aspects of Missiological and Theological Thought: Challenges in the Twenty-First Century.” The papers presented include some given in person by various colleagues of the Emanuel Faculty; others were given via Skype or by invitation. We are grateful for the commitment of members of the Emanuel faculty, the collaboration of Emanuel University Press, the Emanuel “Ethics and Society” Research Centre. We are also grateful for the contribution of distinguished colleagues from the Irish Baptist College and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. This second issue includes a range of papers on “Aspects” of Mission and Theological thought. The Journal opens with a paper on modern definitions of mission and a focus on Paul as a missionary apostle. It discusses his motivation, strategy and the mission churches he founded in Ephesus and Crete. The paper on the Eucharist in Romanian perspective reminds us that the celebration of the Lord’s Supper is memorial in character. It brings blessing through comprehending the risen Christ by faith. It also provides an opportunity for a visible act of proclamation of the Lord’s death. Theology Journal Papers Other papers in the theology journal focus upon Andrew Fuller, Secretary of the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792. His theological perspective made such an impact on missionary thinking in the nineteenth century. The life and work of Rodger Williams is examined, until his work on Rhode Island. One paper considers Alexander Carson’s use of the theme of the atonement as an apologetic tool. The essence of Carson’s argument is that the uniqueness of the Gospel with its focus on the atonement, could never have been worked out by the human mind demonstrates the truth of God’s existence. There are further papers on Melchizedek, with a particular emphasis of his relation to the pre-existent Christ. Plus a study of the doxologies of 1 Timothy, setting out Paul’s various reasons for including them in his letter. They would challenge the heretical teachings in Ephesus and particularly provide the believers with a true understanding of the only true God. Moreover, they would deeply influence their lives and lead them to witness and truly worship him. A further paper on the centrifugal and centripetal aspects of mission presents us with a challenge for reaching this generation. I hope the Proceedings Papers on Mission and Theology will challenge all who read them. Of course, it should be understood that the views presented remain those of the contributors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Journal This first volume of Semănătorul (The Sower): The Journal of Ministry and Biblical Research, has been produced through the collaboration of Emanuel University Press, the Emanuel “Ethics and Society” Research Centre and distinguished colleagues from the Hungarian Baptist Academy. The publishing efforts were aided by Dr. Almási Tibor, Rector, Hungarian Baptist Academy. The volume comprises the Proceedings of the International Theological Conference held by the Department of Theology on 6th May 2016 in Emanuel University of Oradea. The theme of the Conference was Hebrews: Its Historical Context and Theological Significance. For many scholars, Hebrews 13:22 gives some guidance concerning the nature of the epistle, “Bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.” The suggestion is that the background may be a sermon, given on a certain occasion and then later adapted into letter form with the addition of personal comments at the end. But what of its readers? It is thought that the first readers were Hebrews and the camp of 13:13, ancient Judaism. They were Jews attracted to the Christian community and who had identified with it. But Christianity had none of the “ritual trappings” they had known, no altar, no priests, no sacrifices. They were meeting ridicule, opposition, imprisonment and being disowned and disinherited by their families (10:32). Some had coped well with this adversity, but others were looking back to the temple from where they had come (10:32–39). Was not Judaism God-ordained? The author of Hebrews seeks to set before them the “better things” which have become theirs: a better priesthood, better sanctuary, better sacrifice, better covenant, true access to the very presence of the Most High (10:19–21). Also the “greater things,” that is: Christ greater than angels, Moses, Joshua, and Aaron. The Proceedings Papers in this Journal will touch upon some of the aspects of the situation outlined above. The significance of the opening verses of Hebrews for the whole epistle is outlined in the opening paper. Other papers focus on the themes endurance, pilgrimage, “echoes” in interpretation, a comparison of the epistle with Philo, the significance of “the time of reformation” for worship in Hebrews, a semiotic approach regarding Psalm 2 and the profile of the “Son,” the concept of repentance and critique of the perspectives of George Milligan regarding the importance of the epistle. Emanuel University continues to be a strong witness as a conservative university in all of Europe. It should be understood that the sources highlighted and the views presented in these papers remain those of the contributors themselves. Hamilton Moore, Editor.

Download or read book Biblical Spirituality written by Christopher W. Morgan and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is spirituality? For some, it means nothing more than vague self-improvement pulled from the latest best-selling self-help book. For others, it refers to some generic religious practice. Shedding life-giving light on what often remains ill-defined and unclear, this book sets forth a vision of biblical spirituality—“a renewed sense of the momentousness of being alive in God’s world as God’s people are led by God’s Spirit through God’s Word unto godly, Christlike character.” With careful exegetical work and theological reflection, the contributors—pastors and scholars such as Christopher W. Morgan, Paul R. House, Nathan A. Finn, and Gregg R. Allison—address spirituality from the perspective of the Bible, exploring topics such as the Trinity, divine sovereignty and human responsibility, the “already” and “not yet,” and the church. This book also addresses practical questions about spirituality related to the workplace, disciplines of the body, and more.

Download or read book Civil Enculturation written by Werner Schiffauer and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A team of seven European academics report findings from a joint research project examining how the identifications of young people from post-migration backgrounds are contextually constructed, and what factors account for this process. Centered around the civil cultures of four Western European countries--The Netherlands, Britain, Germany, and France--the project investigates ways in which the school curricula, texts, and pedagogical practices serve to transmit the ideals and preferred styles inherent in each of the civil cultures to the next generation students. The experiences of Turkish students in the four countries are compared, offering valuable insights into the changing dynamics of nation-state civil cultures in multicultural societies.

Download or read book Nation and Religion written by Peter van der Veer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does modernity make religion politically irrelevant? Conventional scholarly and popular wisdom says that it does. The prevailing view assumes that the onset of western modernity--characterized by the rise of nationalism, the dominance of capitalism, and the emergence of powerful state institutions--favors secularism and relegates religion to the purely private realm. This collection of essays on nationalism and religion in Europe and Asia challenges that view. Contributors show that religion and politics are mixed together in complex and vitally important ways not just in the East, but in the West as well. The book focuses on four societies: India, Japan, Britain, and the Netherlands. It shows that religion and nationalism in these societies combined to produce such notions as the nation being chosen for a historical task (imperialism, for example), the possibility of national revival, and political leadership as a form of salvation. The volume also examines the qualities of religious discourse and practice that can be used for nationalist purposes, paying special attention to how religion can help to give meaning to sacrifice in national struggle. The book's comparative approach underscores that developments in colonizing and colonized countries, too often considered separately, are subtly interrelated. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Benedict R. Anderson, Talal Asad, Susan Bayly, Partha Chatterjee, Frans Groot, Harry Harootunian, Hugh McLeod, Barbara Metcalf, and Peter van Rooden.
Download or read book The Age of Global Dialogue written by Leonard J. Swidler and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking beyond the absolutes Christians and other religious persons increasingly find "deabsolutized" in our modern thought world, Swidler reflects on the ways we humans think about the world and its meaning now that increasingly we notice that there are other ways of understanding the world than the way we grew up in. In this new situation we need to develop a common language we can use together both to appreciate our neighbors and enrich ourselves, what the author calls Ecumenical Esperanto, because it should serve as a common language without replacing any of the living languages of our religious and ideological traditions. Of course, such thinking anew about the world and its meaning must necessarily mean thinking anew about all of our religious beliefs--but this time, in dialogue.
Download or read book Television Ethnicity and Cultural Change written by Marie Gillespie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 'ethnic minorities' in Britain, broadcast TV provides powerful representations of national and 'western' culture. In Southall - which has the largest population of 'South Asians' outside the Indian sub-continent - the VCR furnishes Hindi films, 'sacred soaps' such as the Mahabharata, and family videos of rites of passage, as well as mainstream American films. Television, Ethnicity and Cultural Change examines how TV and video are being used to recreate cultural traditions within the 'South Asian' diaspora, and how they are also catalysing cultural change in this local community. Marie Gillespie explores how young people negotiate between the parental and peer, local and global, national and international contexts and culturess which traverse their lives. Articulating their own preoccupations with television narratives, they both reaffirm and challenge parental traditions, formulating their own aspirations towards cultural change. Marie Gillespie's in-depth study offers an invaluable survey of how cultures are shaped and changed through people's recreative reception of the media.
Download or read book Organizing Jainism in India and England written by Marcus Banks and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the first book-length studies of the Jains as a migrant group overseas, where they are studied in their own right rather than simply as an ethnic minority. The author describes the religious and caste organizations of the Jains. He also examines the use and transformation of urban space by religious and other groups, and he concludes with comments on the definition of religion and religious identity. The study will be valuable both for its documentation of a small but influential population and for its direct comparison of aspects of communal and religious organization in India and elsewhere.
