Book Description
Excerpt from Scriptural View of the Mode of Baptism: In a Letter to an Inquirer Nor does the language of the Evangelist in describing the baptism of Jesus, prove that he was immersed. Mat thew says (ch. 3: that Jesus when he was baptized, went up from the water. In our translation it is - he went up straight way out OF the water. Every Greek scholar knows that the word ano, here translated, out q, generally signifies from, and cannot mean out of, ex cept by accident. If the Evangelist intended to describe Christ's rising out of the water, he certainly has not used appropriate language. But if Jesus went merely to the edge of the river without stepping into the water at all, the expression of the Evangelist - he went upfront the wa ter - is perfectly natural. It describes his ascending the banks of Jordan, which were of considerable height above the water: Of course he ascended them when he left the margin of the river. There is, then, nothing in the ac. Count of this baptism, which proves, or even renders it probable, that Jesus was immersed all over in the water. The same remarks apply to the account of the baptism of the eunuch, recorded in Acts 8: 38. They went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch and he baptized him. And when they come-up out of the water, &c. The words translated into-wand out of -as every one knows, acquainted with the Greek lan guage, usually mean to and from. I know not why the translators have here rendered them, into and out of. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Theology in the Context of World Christianity

Book Description
Thinking more globally about the formation of theology enriches our understanding of what it means to be a Christian. It's no secret that the center of Christianity has shifted from the West to the global South and East. While the truths of the Christian faith are universal, different contexts and cultures illuminate new questions, understandings, and expressions. What does this mean for theology, as Western theologians understand it? Timothy Tennent argues that the Christian faith is culturally and theologically translatable. Theology in the Context of World Christianity is written to expand our "ecclesiastical cartography" by highlighting—within each of the major themes of systematic theology—studies that are engaging the global church, such as: Anthropology (with studies drawn from the different views of human identity between Eastern and Western cultures). Christology (with a focus on the emphases that African Christians place on the characteristics of Christ). Pneumatology (by looking at the role of the Holy Spirit in Latin American Pentecostalism). Eschatology (by focusing on how this branch of theology shapes world missions and evangelism). Each of the ten chapters examines traditional theological categories in conversation with theologians from across the globe, making this volume valuable for students, pastors, missionaries, and theologians alike. Theological reflection is active and exciting in the majority world church, and Tennent invites you to your own reflection and celebration of Christ's global church. These are perspectives that should be heard, considered, and brought into conversation with Western theologians. Global theology can make us aware of our own blind spots and biases and has much to offer toward the revitalization of Western Christianity.
