Truth and Love is a tribute to the United Presbyterian Church of
North America 150 years after its founding and 50 years after it
merged with the Presbyterian Church, and a reference work
containing a directory of ministers and congregations.
This title presents theology of biblical interpretation, treating
both topics in light of their relationship to the triune God and
the economy of redemption. "Trinity, Revelation, and Reading (TRR)"
is a theological introduction to the Bible and biblical
interpretation. The overarching thesis is that neither the Bible
nor biblical hermeneutics can be understood or practiced properly
apart from an appreciation of their relationship to the triune God
and his gracious economy of redemption. Scott Swain treats the role
of the Word in the saving economy of the triune God, the role and
status of Scripture as the Word of God, the nature of biblical
reading as a covenantal enterprise, as well as a host of other
related topics. These topics are addressed by way of a constructive
appropriation, or ressourcement, of many of the themes of patristic
theology and early Protestant divinity (esp. Reformed Orthodoxy),
while building upon the work of important contemporary theologians
as well (e.g., Karl Barth, John Webster, Kevin Vanhoozer). The
ultimate goal of this study is that readers will appreciate better
the ways in which biblical interpretation is an aspect of their
covenantal engagement with the triune God.
PSALM 84 1 How dear to me is your dwelling, o God of hosts!* My
soul has a desire and longing for your courts; My heart and my
flesh rejoice in the living God 2 The sparrow has found her a house
and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young,* by the side of
your altars, O God of hosts, my Ruler and my God. 3 Happy are they
who dwell in your house;* they will always be praising you. For
several years, the sisters of The Order of Saint Helena, a monastic
community in the Episcopal Church, have been revising their
services of worship. The primary goal of the revision is opening up
the human vocabulary of prayer and expanding the ways in which we
name and worship God. This version of the Psalter, based upon the
translation in the Book of Common Prayer, softens the exclusively
male Hebrew terminology for the Creator God and recasts texts in
ways that avoid the need for a he (or she) personal pronoun.

This bibliography will facilitate research in the history of
American Presbyterianism in particular and American history in
general. Among the major areas covered are: autobiographies and
biographies; Presbyterian denominations; states; institutions of
learning, including academies, colleges, universities, and
theological seminaries; institutionalized forms of church work,
i.e., home and foreign missions, publications, Christian education;
urban work; polity; and ecumenism. There are also considerable
references to minorities. A thorough topical index to the entries
gives easy access to all of these areas of study.
Pilgrimage into Pentecost explores the life and legacy of Howard M.
Ervin, Th.D., chronicling Ervin's pilgrimage from his beginnings as
Baptist pastor to his global influence as a Pentecostal leader. His
exegetical theology led him to advocate a distinctively Lukan
theology of the Holy Spirit, and he became for a while the leading
scholarly apologist for the classical Pentecostal doctrine of
Spirit baptism. Ervin's scholarship spurred fruitful theological
debate on the contemporary work of the Holy Spirit, especially with
New Testament scholar James D.G. Dunn, while his extensive
ecumenical pastoral ministry demonstrated the Spirit's work of
unifying the body of Christ. Pilgrimage into Pentecost not only
pays well-deserved tribute to a pioneer of Pentecostal scholarship
but also offers his devout scholarship and distinguished forty-year
teaching career at Oral Roberts University (ORU) as an example for
others.
