This study explores the conversion theologies of Luke and Paul. For
Luke and Paul conversion played an important role in the early
Christian experience and Morlan offers a fresh look into how they
interpreted this phenomenon. Morlan traverses representative texts
in the Lukan and Pauline corpus equipped with three theological
questions. What is the change involved in this conversion? Why is
conversion necessary? Who is responsible for conversion? Morlan
presents theological and exegetical analysis of Luke 15, Acts 2,
Acts 17.16-34, Romans 2 and Romans 9-11 and answers these
questions, and, in turn, builds theological profiles for both Luke
and Paul. These profiles provide fresh insight into the theological
relationship between Luke and Paul, showing significant
similarities as well as sharp contrasts between them. Similarities
surface between Luke and Paul concerning the centrality of
Christology in their conversion theologies. While showing a complex
relationship between human and divine agency in conversion, both
Luke and Paul understand successful conversion to be impossible
without the intervention of an agency outside of the pre-convert.
The essays in this volume of the Bulletin of Ecclesial Theology are
drawn from the papers presented at the October 2012 and June 2013
theological symposia hosted by the Center for Pastor Theologians.
These two symposia brought together evangelical clergy from across
denominational lines, with a view to exploring the topics of
gender, sexuality, marriage, and sexual ethics-primarily through an
interaction with John Paul II's Male and Female He Created Them: A
Theology of the Body. Contributors include Matthew Mason, Gerald
Hiestand, Owen Strachan, Christopher Bechtel, and David Morlan.
Book reviews in this volume likewise focus on works associated with
the themes of sexuality, marriage, and gender.
