This resource displays the variety of ways in which the Wesleys'
concept of 'the religion of the heart' (that is, the affective
dimension of Christian faith) has been understood and embodied in
the Methodist tradition. The author then offers some practical
suggestions on how a livelier piety, a more deeply felt faith, can
be fostered in local congregations, without leading into
anti-intellectualism, fanatical emotionalism or maudlin
sentimentality. This part approaches theology, worship, preaching,
pastoral care, and educational ministry.
This theological commentary on 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus by
Robert Wall powerfully demonstrates the ongoing relevance and
authority of the Pastoral Epistles for the church today. Wall
uniquely employs an apostolic "Rule of Faith" methodology for
interpreting these texts as sacred Scripture. Three successive
historical case studies by Richard Steele vividly instantiate key
themes of the Pastorals. This innovative yet reverent volume will
help revive the interest of students, pastors, and other Christian
leaders in the Pastoral Epistles.
College and seminary students rarely have a voice in theological
discussions. True, there are many books written for them.
Introductions to the Bible, surveys of church history, anthologies
of theological classics, overviews of Christian doctrine, and
dictionaries of the various theological sub-disciplines abound. But
it is one thing for professional theologians to answer the
questions they think their students ought to be asking, and quite
another thing for them to listen and respond to the questions their
students are actually asking. This book does the latter. It
contains a selection of email correspondence, which the author
exchanged with his undergraduate theology students between the
years 1997 and 2005 on matters pertaining to Christian faith and
ethics. Most of the exchanges were triggered by questions that
occurred to the students while they were taking one of the author's
undergraduate courses in theology, ethics, or church history. But
the letters themselves are anything but academic exercises. They
are intensely personal and reveal what is going on in the depths of
the student soul. An exciting adventure of the human spirit as well
as a stimulating challenge to the critical intellect is waiting for
students and professors of theology or those on a lifelong study of
Christianity.
