Paul and the Wrath: Divine Judgment and Mercy for Israel in Romans 9–11 Assistant Professor of New Testament Thomas P Dixon Baylor University Press, 2024

Romans 9-11 is one of the most controversial passages in Paul's corpus. Efforts to reconcile chapter 9 with chapter 11 are disparate, and the dearth of scholarly interest in the subject of wrath often perpetuates the Marcionite premise that wrath precludes mercy, a false antithesis that was foreign to Paul and especially skews interpretation of Romans. This presumed opposition leads scholars to find dithering dialectic, incompatible covenants, two Israels, or contradictory fantasy in Romans 9-11. How can a passage at the heart of the apostle's greatest letter have become so muddled? To help clear the fog, Paul and the Wrath replaces the simplistic wrath-mercy binary with a thicker, overlooked, and distinctly Jewish lens of remedial wrath, clarifying Paul's argument that God judges Israel in order to save Israel. To configure this lens properly, Thomas Dixon outlines a taxonomy of views on divine wrath and mercy around four ancient, representative interpreters, then surveys philosophies of wrath in Greco-Roman literature before examining a swathe of images in biblical and extrabiblical Jewish texts in which judgment advances mercy. The frequency of such imagery in these Jewish sources establishes a plausibility structure for finding similar theology in Paul, which leads Dixon to a new evaluation of Paul's argumentative logic in Romans 9-11 and elsewhere. This Jewish theology of judgment provides a wider window that can shed light on--and help resolve--a persistent division in Pauline scholarship over the apostle's understanding of mercy, works, and atonement. Paul and the Wrath offers clarity in a clouded arena of Pauline theology in order to foster more faithful reading of both Paul and Scripture as a whole.

Phenomenal Phenomena: Biblical and Multicultural Accounts of Spirits and Exorcism Vaughan, Joy L. Baylor University Press, PS, 2023

Today, the conception of spirits and demons has been mostly consigned to pop culture in films and novels. Any notion of supernatural possession is often derided as outdated belief or legend. The Western world has essentially "cast out" stories of exorcisms that persist throughout much of the world today. Consequently, Western Christians have a limited framework to interpret the exorcism accounts scattered throughout the Synoptic Gospels and Acts in their depictions of the ministry of Jesus and his followers. With Phenomenal Phenomena , Joy L. Vaughan maps the hermeneutical problem readers of biblical spirit possession and exorcism stories might face. Vaughan communicates how the intersection of Western and global perspectives is a fruitful frame through to compare modern stories of spirit phenomena compare to ancient accounts. She surveys interreligious and global perspectives through three relationships: spirit possession and illness; spirit possession and violence or extraordinary strength; and spirit possession and vocalic activity/alteration, demonic speech, and oracular activity. These global perspectives challenge reductionist readings that pervade Western scholarship and allow the actuality of spirits to contribute to our collective interpretive task. Considering the complexity of global experiences of spiritual and demonic activity, a variety of interpretive options are needed to understand the transcultural occurrences of these phenomena. Vaughan demonstrates that listening to global voices opens up a wide horizon of modern spirit possession and exorcism stories that have comparable characteristics to New Testament accounts. A fresh opportunity arises to read both sets of data as eyewitness testimony to extraordinary events.

lgli/Barbara J. McClure; - Emotions (2019, ).azw3

Emotions : problems and promise for human flourishing Barbara J. McClure; Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2019

"Emotions are two-sided. They contain deep truths about what it means to be human, but they also deceive, mislead, and manipulate. They are celebrated for the insights they provide, but they also are denied, repressed, and dismissed. Though many institutions recognize and study the power of emotion, its potential has yet to be fully realized. Barbara J. McClure seeks to rectify this. In Emotions: Problems and Promise for Human Flourishing, she examines how emotions can be properly engaged for health and healing both individually and corporately. Starting with the current understandings of emotion, she notes the limitations of current thought. She then draws on significant emotions theories from ancient philosophy, Christian theology, natural sciences, psychology, social theory, and contemporary neuroscience to create a more well-rounded understanding of emotions and their place in Western society. Ultimately, McClure argues that emotions, if understood and engaged correctly, can be a source of guidance for flourishing and a resource for nurturing the common good. With this wide-ranging multidisciplinary approach, McClure proposes an understanding of emotions that allows for a new model of human flourishing: one that does not dismiss emotions but utilizes them properly to engage life's challenges. Emotions should not be censored, silenced, or sidelined--they are important tools for discerning and cultivating what is good and resisting what is not."--Publisher statement

lgli/Icons of Christ - William G. Witt; (1).pdf

Icons of Christ : a biblical and systematic theology for women's ordination Associate Professor of Systematic Theology and Ethics William G Witt; William G. Witt Baylor University Press, 1, 2021

The pastoral office is one of the most critical in Christianity. Historically, however, Christians have not been able to agree on the precise nature and limits of that office. A specific area of contention has been the role of women in pastoral leadership. In recent decades, three broad types of arguments have been raised against women’s ordination: nontheological (primarily cultural or political), Protestant, and Catholic. Reflecting their divergent understandings of the purpose of ordination, Protestant opponents of women’s ordination tend to focus on issues of pastoral authority, while Catholic opponents highlight sacramental integrity. These positions are new developments and new theological stances, and thus no one in the current discussion can claim to be defending the church’s historic position. Icons of Christ addresses these voices of opposition, making a biblical and theological case for the ordination of women to the ministerial office of Word and Sacrament. William Witt argues that not only those in favor of, but also those opposed to, women’s ordination embrace new theological positions in response to cultural changes of the modern era. Witt mounts a positive ecumenical argument for the ordination of women that touches on issues such as theological hermeneutics, relationships between men and women, Christology and discipleship, and the role of ordained clergy in leading the church in worship, among others. Uniquely, Icons of Christ treats both Protestant and Catholic theological concerns at length, undertaking a robust engagement with biblical exegesis and biblical, historical, systematic, and liturgical theology. The book’s theological approach is critically orthodox, evangelical, and catholic. Witt offers the church an ecumenical vision of ordination to the presbyterate as an office of Word and Sacrament that justifiably is open to both men and women. Most critically Witt reminds us that, as all Christians are baptized into the image of the crucified and risen Christ, and bear witness to Christ through lives of cruciform discipleship, so men and women both are called to serve as icons of Christ in service of the gospel.

lgli/Christoph Markschies - God's Body: Jewish, Christian, and Pagan Images of God (2019, Baylor University Press).pdf

God's Body: Jewish, Christian, and Pagan Images of God Christoph Markschies, Alexander Johannes Edmonds Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2019

God Is Unbounded. God Became Flesh. While These Two Assertions Are Equally Viable Parts Of Western Christian Religious Heritage, They Stand In Tension With One Another. Fearful Of Reducing God's Majesty With Shallow Anthropomorphisms, Philosophy And Religion Affirm That God, As An Eternal Being, Stands Wholly Apart From Creation. Yet The Legacy Of The Incarnation Complicates This View Of The Incorporeal Divine, Affirming A Very Different Image Of God In Physical Embodiment. While For Many Today The Idea Of An Embodied God Seems Simplistic--even Pedestrian--christoph Markschies Reveals That In Antiquity, The Educated And Uneducated Alike Subscribed To This Very Idea. More Surprisingly, The Idea That God Had A Body Was Held By Both Polytheists And Monotheists. Platonic Misgivings About Divine Corporeality Entered The Church Early On, But It Was Only With The Advent Of Medieval Scholasticism That The Idea That God Has A Body Became Scandalous, An Idea Still Lingering Today. In God's Body Markschies Traces The Shape Of The Divine Form In Late Antiquity. This Exploration Follows The Development Of Ideas Of God's Corporeality In Jewish And Greco-roman Traditions. In Antiquity, Gods Were Often Like Humans, Which Proved To Be Important For Philosophical Reflection And For Worship. Markschies Considers How A Cultic Environment Nurtured, And Transformed, Jewish And Christian Descriptions Of The Divine, As Well As How Philosophical Debates Over The Connection Of Body And Soul In Humanity Provided A Conceptual Framework For Imagining God. Markschies Probes The Connections Between This Lively Culture Of Religious Practice And Philosophical Speculation And The Christological Formulations Of The Church To Discover How The Dichotomy Of An Incarnate God And A Fleshless God Came To Be. By Studying The Religious And Cultural Past, Markschies Reveals A Jewish And Christian Heritage Alien To Modern Sensibilities, As Well As A God Who Is Less Alien To The Human Experience Than Much Of Western Thought Has Imagined. Since The Almighty God Who Made All Creation Has Also Lived In That Creation, The Biblical Idea Of Humankind As Image Of God Should Be Taken Seriously And Not Restricted To The Conceptual World But Rather Applied To The Whole Person.

lgli/Richard B. Hays - Reading Backwards Figural Christology and the Fourfold Gospel Witness.epub

Reading Backwards : Figural Christology and the Fourfold Gospel Witness Hays, Richard B. Baylor University Press (LONGLEAF), Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2014

In Reading Backwards Richard B. Hays maps the shocking ways the four Gospel writers interpreted Israel's Scripture to craft their literary witnesses to the Church's one Christ. The Gospels' scriptural imagination discovered inside the long tradition of a resilient Jewish monotheism a novel and revolutionary Christology.Modernity's incredulity toward the Christian faith partly rests upon the characterization of early Christian preaching as a tendentious misreading of the Hebrew Scriptures. Christianity, modernity claims, twisted the Bible they inherited to fit its message about a mythological divine Savior. The Gospels, for many modern critics, are thus more about Christian doctrine in the second and third century than they are about Jesus in the first.Such Christian "misreadings" are not late or politically motivated developments within Christian thought. As Hays demonstrates, the claim that the events of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection took place "according to the Scriptures" stands at the very heart of the New Testament's earliest message. All four canonical Gospels declare that the Torah and the Prophets and the Psalms mysteriously prefigure Jesus. The author of the Fourth Gospel puts the claim succinctly: "If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me" (John 5:46).Hays thus traces the reading strategies the Gospel writers employ to "read backwards" and to discover how the Old Testament figuratively discloses the astonishing paradoxical truth about Jesus' identity. Attention to Jewish and Old Testament roots of the Gospel narratives reveals that each of the four Evangelists, in their diverse portrayals, identify Jesus as the embodiment of the God of Israel. Hays also explores the hermeneutical challenges posed by attempting to follow the Evangelists as readers of Israel's Scripture—can the Evangelists teach us to read backwards along with them and to discern the same mystery they discovered in Israel's story?In Reading Backwards Hays demonstrates that it was Israel's Scripture itself that taught the Gospel writers how to understand Jesus as the embodied presence of God, that this conversion of imagination occurred early in the development of Christian theology, and that the Gospel writers' revisionary figural readings of their Bible stand at the very center of Christianity.

Church in Color: Youth Ministry, Race, and the Theology of Martin Luther King Jr. Montague R. Williams Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2020

Congregational leaders are often unsure how to attend to the complexities of racism and racial division in the United States. One common response is to acknowledge that racism is wrong and then avoid the topic as much as possible. This is especially the case in youth and young adult ministries, as pastors and other youth workers attempt to foster a sense of community and identity that transcends race. While this method may seem helpful on the surface, it ultimately undermines the goal of offering young people authentically Christian mentoring, understanding, and pastoral care. There is a dire need for a practical theological framework that welcomes young people's experiences and questions regarding race into the work of theology and vocational discernment. In this groundbreaking ethnographic and theological account, Montague R. Williams unearths and examines the realities of race in multiracial and multiethnic youth ministries in the United States. Church in Color invites readers to consider stories of young people in three distinct congregations and witness their longing for a Christian discipleship that grapples with rather than avoids race. Williams further analyzes how young people communicate this longing and why it is difficult for congregational leaders to recognize and respond to it. Finally, placing these findings in dialogue with an in-depth and nuanced engagement of Martin Luther King Jr.'s theological aesthetics, Williams guides congregations to embrace a discipleship that recognizes, remembers, and wrestles with the realities of race, racism, and racial identity. Church in Color demonstrates the importance of including the questions and experiences of young people from diverse backgrounds in the work of theological construction. It also models how to bring various fields, such as congregational studies, youth ministry, race theory, pop culture, and Kingian theology, together within a broader practical theological conversation. Most significantly, Church in Color charts a path forward for the future of intergenerational Christian communities in a racialized world.

Popular music artists are intentionally unoriginal. Pop producers find their inspiration by sampling across traditions and genres; remix artists compose a pastiche of the latest hits. These "mashup" artists stretch the boundaries of creativity by freely intermingling old sounds and melodies with the newest technologies. Using this phenomenon in contemporary music-making as a metaphor, John McClure encourages the invention of new theological ideas by creating a mashup of the traditional and the novel. What emerges are engaging ways of communicating that thrive at the intersection of religion and popular culture yet keep alive the deepest of theological truths.

zlib/Religion & Spirituality/Bible/Daniel Daley/God's Will and Testament: Inheritance in the Gospel of Matthew and Jewish Tradition_28595048.pdf

God's will and testament : inheritance in the Gospel of Matthew and Jewish tradition Daniel Daley Baylor University Press (LONGLEAF), 1, 2021

"The Hebrew Bible expresses the Israelite belief that the Israelites were the people of God uniquely chosen from among all peoples of the earth, and that this status as elected people guaranteed them certain privileges not granted to other peoples. One of these privileges was the right to an inheritance granted by God himself - a birthright that provided a sense of God's protection and an awareness of Israel's relationship to God as a special nation. Details regarding the nature of that inheritance - what it is, who receives it, and how inheritance is obtained - appear in every strata and section of the Hebrew Scriptures, and this trajectory continues across many Second Temple Jewish texts. Yet surprisingly little scholarly attention has been focused on inheritance as a unique and crucial concept for Israelite and Jewish religious life and belief. This paucity of attention to inheritance concepts also extends to Matthew's Gospel, where inheritance terms appear on four occasions. With God's Will and Testament, Daniel Daley argues that these passages play a vital role in Matthew's overall narrative, especially concerning Matthew's depiction of true discipleship and relations between Jew and Gentile. Daley further demonstrates that numerous Jewish traditions antecedent to Matthew's Gospel influenced the writer's theology and linguistic choices, often in ways not previously appreciated by interpreters. As a relational term, inheritance signifies the beneficiary's relationship with God: because God is a father, he gives an inheritance, and because he is an eternal father, the inheritance takes on eschatological connotations to provide a hope for his children into the future. This concept is a thread that binds Matthew and his community to a wider Jewish discourse about what it means to be the people of God. In Matthew's Gospel, this inheritance, this identity as God's elect, belongs to "the ideal disciple," who commits to Jesus and his vision for 'greater righteousness.'"--Jacket flaps

Though Mercurial, Time Can Be Deadly For Those With Disabilities. To Participate Fully In Human Society Has Come To Mean Yielding To The Criterion Of The Clock. The Absence Of Thinking Rapidly, Living Punctually, And Biographical Narration Leaves Persons With Disabilities Vulnerable. A Worldview Driven By The Demands The Clock Makes On The Lives Of Those With Dementia Or Profound Neurological And Intellectual Disabilities Seems Pointless. And Yet, Jesus Comes To The World To Transform Time. Jesus Calls Us To Slow Down, Take Time, And Learn To Recognize The Strangeness Of Living Within God’s Time. He Calls Us To Be Gentle, Patient, Kind; To Walk Slowly And Timefully With Those Whom Society Desires To Leave Behind. In Becoming Friends Of Time, John Swinton Crafts A Theology Of Time That Draws Us Toward A Perspective Wherein Time Is A Gift And A Calling. Time Is Not A Commodity Nor Is Time To Be Mastered. Time Is A Gift Of God To Humans, But Is Also A Gift Given Back To God By Humans. Swinton Wrestles With Critical Questions That Emerge From Theological Reflection On Time And Disability: Rethinking Doctrine For Those Who Can Never Grasp Jesus With Their Intellects; Reimagining Discipleship And Vocation For Those Who Have Forgotten Who Jesus Is; Reconsidering Salvation For Those Who, Due To Neurological Damage, Can Be One Person At One Time And Then Be Someone Else In An Instant. In The End, Swinton Invites The Reader To Spend Time With The Experiences Of People With Profound Neurological Disability, People Who Can Change Our Perceptions Of Time, Enable Us To Grasp The Fruitful Rhythms Of God’s Time, And Help Us Learn To Live In Ways That Are Unimaginable Within The Boundaries Of The Time Of The Clock. - From Publisher.

lgli/Trexler, Melanie E. - Evangelizing Lebanon: Baptists, Missions, and the Question of Cultures (2016, Baylor University Press).pdf

Evangelizing Lebanon : Baptists, Missions, and the Question of Cultures Trexler, Melanie E. Baylor University Press, Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2016

In 1893, Said Jureidini, an Arabic-speaking Christian from the Ottoman Empire, experienced an evangelical conversion while attending the Chicago World's Fair. Two years later he founded the first Baptist church in modern-day Lebanon. For financial support, he aligned his fledgling church with American Landmark Baptists and, later, Southern Baptists. By doing so, Jureidini linked the fate of Baptists in Lebanon with those in the United States. In Evangelizing Lebanon, Melanie E. Trexler explores the complex, reflexive relationship between Baptist missionaries from the States and Baptists in Lebanon. Trexler pays close attention to the contexts surrounding the relationships, the consequences, and the theologies inherent to missionary praxis, carefully profiling the perspectives of both the missionaries and the Lebanese Baptists. Trexler thus discovers a fraught mutuality at work. U.S. missionaries presented new models of church planting, evangelism, and educational opportunities that empowered the Lebanese Baptists to accomplish personal and communal goals. In turn, Lebanese Baptists prompted missionaries to rethink their ideas about mission, Muslim-Christian relations, and even American foreign policy in the region. But Trexler also reveals how missionaries' efforts to evangelize Muslims came to threaten the very security of the Lebanese Baptists. Trexler shows how Baptist missionary theology and praxis in Lebanon had more to do with bolstering an insular Baptist identity in the U.S. than it did with engaging in interfaith relationships with Lebanese Muslims. Ironically, American Baptists' efforts to help ultimately spun out of control and led to unintended consequences. Trexler's study of Baptists in Lebanon serves as a warning for missional identity everywhere, Baptist or not: missionary insistence on a narrow and politically useful definition of what it means to be Christian can both aid and undermine, build and destabilize.

nexusstc/Divine Humility: God's Morally Perfect Being/d89a3ae80d09b65075152cd4d8cb5687.pdf

Divine humility : God's morally perfect being Matthew A. Wilcoxen Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2019

God is all-powerful. God is all-knowing. God is ever-present. But is God humble? Though the answer may seem obvious, humility is rarely identified as one of God’s attributes. Christianity has traditionally emphasized an array of divine attributes centering around omnipotence. In Divine Humility , Matthew Wilcoxen attempts to supplement traditional study of the godhead by focusing on God’s humility. Wilcoxen first examines how to refer properly to God’s being. Contending with those who say that human concepts cannot communicate God’s being at all, Wilcoxen articulates an account of theological concepts that holds together simultaneously both God’s objectivity―that he is "for us"―and God’s subjectivity―that he remains yet totally free. Wilcoxen argues that the concept best positioned to achieve this objective is humility, which, in the Christian tradition, has been considered the paragon of virtues and should thus fittingly be attributed to God’s character. Wilcoxen next explores divine humility through the work of three different theologians―Augustine, Karl Barth, and Katherine Sonderegger. Augustine, Wilcoxen argues, ascribes humility to God in a tantalizing way, but fails to explain further its doctrinal implications. Karl Barth articulates a more developed doctrine of divine humility by linking God’s divine being to his redemptive work. But Barth’s account ultimately suffers because it flatly equates humility with obedience and divides the divine will into the separate entities of the Father and the Son. It is the recent work of Katherine Sonderegger that best articulates an account of divine humility that carries forward Augustine’s mantle and overcomes the problems in Barth’s account. By connecting God’s humility to divine energy, Sonderegger shows how God can be near to creation without overwhelming it. Ultimately, Wilcoxen contends that humility’s importance as a divine attribute indicates that it should be fully considered in any Christian doctrine of God. Divine Humility serves as an important reminder to Christians that God, as powerful as He is, is also a God of great magnanimity and love.

lgli/John R. Levison - The Holy Spirit Before Christianity (2019, Baylor University Press).pdf

The Holy Spirit Before Christianity John R. Levison Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2019

The Holy Spirit has long been considered the exclusive possession of Christianity. The Church's trinitarian creeds exert a great influence, carefully and precisely defining the Holy Spirit in specifically Christian terms. But history isn't always so tidy. In The Holy Spirit before Christianity, John R. Levison leads readers back five hundred years before Jesus Christ and the church, back to the period of Israel's sojourn in Babylonian exile and their return to the land of promise. Levison argues that this crucial juncture in Israelite history witnessed unprecedented theological development that did not merely set the stage but even anticipated later Christian expressions of the Spirit. The prophet Haggai and the author of Isaiah 56-66, in their search for ways to grapple with the tragic events of exile and to articulate hope for the future, took up old exodus traditions of divine agents--pillars of fire, an angel, God's own presence--and fused them together under the language of God's Spirit. Since it was the Spirit of God who led Israel up from Egypt and formed them into a holy nation, now, the prophets assured, the Spirit of God would lead and renew those returning from exile. The revolutionary notion of God's Spirit, as expressed in Haggai and Isaiah, originated a full millennium before the era of the church councils that defined the Spirit's personhood and role in Christian faith. The insights of this book demand a full investigation--and reformation--of the origin and shape of our understanding of the Holy Spirit.

Christianity and Catastrophe in South Sudan: Civil War, Migration, and the Rise of Dinka Anglicanism (Studies in World Christianity) Zink, Jesse A., author; Zink, Jesse A. Christianity and catastrophe Waco, Texas: Baylor University Press, Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2018

Amidst a catastrophic civil war that began in 1983 and ended in 2005, many Dinka people in Sudan repudiated their inherited religious beliefs and embraced a vibrant Anglican faith. Christianity and Catastrophe in South Sudan chronicles the emergence of this grassroots religious movement, arguing that Christianity offered the Dinka new resources that allowed them to cope with a rapidly changing world and provided answers to the spiritual questions that war raised. Christianity and Catastrophe in South Sudan is rooted in extensive fieldwork in South Sudan, complemented by research in the archives of South Sudanese churches and international humanitarian organizations. The result is a detailed profile of what Christianity means to a society in the middle of intense crisis and trauma, with a particular focus on the roles of young people and women, and the ways in which the arrival of a new faith transformed existing religious traditions. Christianity and Catastrophe in South Sudan stakes out a new field of inquiry in African Christianity. Jesse Zink has written a must-read for all interested in the ongoing crises in Africa and, in particular, the vexed relationship between violence and religion.

Crippled Grace: Disability, Virtue Ethics, and the Good Life (Studies In Religion, Theology, and Disability) Shane Clifton Waco, Texas: Baylor University Press, Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2018

ix, 298 pages ; 24 cm Crippled Grace combines disability studies, Christian theology, philosophy, and psychology to explore what constitutes happiness and how it is achieved. The virtue tradition construes happiness as whole-of-life flourishing earned by practiced habits of virtue. Drawing upon this particular understanding of happiness, Clifton contends that the experience of disability offers significant insight into the practice of virtue, and thereby the good life. With its origins in the author's experience of adjusting to the challenges of quadriplegia, Crippled Grace considers the diverse experiences of people with a disability as a lens through which to understand happiness and its attainment. Drawing upon the virtue tradition as much as contesting it, Clifton explores the virtues that help to negotiate dependency, resist paternalism, and maximize personal agency. Through his engagement with sources from Aristotle to modern positive psychology, Clifton is able to probe fundamental questions of pain and suffering, reflect on the value of friendship, seek creative ways of conceiving of sexual flourishing, and outline the particular virtues needed to live with unique bodies and brains in a society poorly fitted to their diverse functioning. Crippled Grace is about and for people with disabilities. Yet, Clifton also understands disability as symbolic of the human condition--human fragility, vulnerability, and embodied limits. First unmasking disability as a bodily and sociocultural construct, Clifton moves on to construct a deeper and more expansive account of flourishing that learns from those with disability, rather than excluding them. In so doing, Clifton shows that the experience of disability has something profound to say about all bodies, about the fragility and happiness of all humans, and about the deeper truths offered us by the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love Includes bibliographical references and indexes

God, Neighbor, Empire : The Excess of Divine Fidelity and the Command of Common Good Walter Brueggemann, Tim A. Dearborn Waco, Texas: Baylor University Press, Baylor University Press, Waco, 2016

Justice, Mercy, And The Public Good All Find Meaning In Relationship -- A Relationship Dependent Upon Fidelity, But Endlessly Open To The Betrayals Of Infidelity. This Paradox Defines The Story Of God And Israel In The Old Testament. Yet The Arc Of This Story Reaches Ever Forward, And Its Trajectory Confers Meaning Upon Human Relationships And Communities In The Present. The Old Testament Still Speaks. Israel, In The Old Testament, Bears Witness To A God Who Initiates And Then Sustains Covenantal Relationships. God, In Mercy, Does So By Making Promises For A Just Well-being And Prescribing Stipulations For The Covenant Partner's Obedience. The Nature Of The Relationship Itself Decisively Depends Upon The Conduct, Practice, And Policy Of The Covenant Partner, Yet Is Radically Rooted In The Character And Agency Of God -- The One Who Makes Promises, Initiates Covenant, And Sustains Relationship. This Reflexive, Asymmetrical Relationship, Kept Alive In The Texts And Tradition, Now Fires Contemporary Imagination. Justice Becomes Shaped By The Practice Of Neighborliness, Mercy Reaches Beyond A Pervasive Quid Pro Quo Calculus, And Law Becomes A Dynamic Norming Of The Community. The Well-being Of The Neighborhood, Inspired By The Biblical Texts, Makes Possible -- And Even Insists Upon -- An Alternative To The Ideology Of Individualism That Governs Our Society's Practice And Policy. This Kind Of Community Life Returns Us To The Arc Of God's Gifts -- Mercy, Justice, And Law. The Covenant Of God In The Witness Of Biblical Faith Speaks Now And Demands That Its Interpreting Community Resist Individualism, Overcome Commoditization, And Thwart The Rule Of Empire Through A Life Of Radical Neighbor Love.

Christology, Torah, and Ethics in the Gospel of Matthew (Baylor-Mohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity) Matthias Konradt; Wayne Coppins (trans.) Baylor University Press ; Tübingen : Mohr Siebeck, Baylor-Mohr Siebeck studies in early Christianity, Waco, Texas, Tübingen, Germany, 2022

"Christology, Torah, and Ethics in the Gospel of Matthew, the tenth and final volume in the Baylor-Mohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity series, brings together seven of Matthias Konradt's most important essays on the Gospel of Matthew. Together they highlight key themes of this major early Christian text and demonstrate its formative role in shaping both the identity and theology of the growing Christian movement. The first chapter on the context of Matthew is foundational. It presents the main points of controversy in recent scholarship on the relationship of the Matthean community to Judaism, identifies the interpretive problems that underlie the disagreements, and sketches out perspectives for subsequent scholarship. The next two chapters deal with central aspects of Matthean Christology: chapter 2 with the Davidic-messianic aspects of Matthean Christology and chapter 3 with the character of the Son of God concept in Matthew alongside the controversial question of the meaning of righteousness in Matthew. With chapters 4 and 5, Konradt works out his sophisticated understanding of Matthew's Torah hermeneutic, giving special attention to the interpretation of the antitheses in the Sermon on the Mount and to Matthew's reception and interpretation of the decalogue. Finally, with the analysis of mercy in chapter 6 and the detailed interpretation of the invitation of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30 in chapter 7, the last two chapters show that Matthean ethics are not exhausted in the interpretation of the Torah. Rather, in the way the Gospel of Matthew brings together Old Testament and early Jewish heritage with an orientation toward the ethical potential of the Christ event, it proves to be one of the main testimonies of New Testament ethics." -- Front jacket flap

Toward a Jewish Theology of Liberation : Foreword by Desmond Tutu and Gustavo Gutierrez Marc H. Ellis Baylor University Press, Baylor University Press, Waco, Tex, 2004

"Turmoil still grips the Middle East and fear now paralyzes post-9/11 America. The comforts and challenges of this book are thus as timely as when first published in 1987. With new reflections on the future of Judaism and Israel, Ellis underscores the enduring problem of justice. Ellis' use of liberation theology to make connections between the Holocaust and contemporary communities from the Third World reminds both Jews and oppressed Christians that they share common ground in the experiences of abandonment, suffering, and death. The connections also reveal that Jews and Christians share a common cause in the battle against idolatry-represented now by obsessions for personal affluence, national security, and ethnic survival. According to Ellis, Jews and Christians must never allow the reality of anti-Semitism to become an excuse for evading solidarity with the oppressed peoples-be they African, Asian, Latin American or, especially, Palestinian"-- From publisher's website

Reclaiming joy : a primer for widows Prichard, Ella Wall, 1941- author Waco, Texas: 1845 Books, an imprint of Baylor University Press, Waco, Texas, 2018

Nearly a million women are widowed each year in the United States. Hardly anyone is prepared for the days, months, and years that follow the loss. New widows grieve, but they also battle psychological, spiritual, and social upheaval from all directions. From discovering a new identity to finding different ways to relate to old friends, life becomes unfamiliar. Practical changesboth legal and financialare inevitable. Just as theres no simple prescription that makes grief disappear, there is no clear way to address all the challenges widows face. In Reclaiming A Primer for Widows , Ella Wall Prichard writes the book she needed, but could not find, after her husband died. She recounts her turn to the Apostle Pauls letter to the Philippians, a letter that features joy as a source of comfort and hopeand that shapes Reclaiming Joy . Prichard offers practical advice on how to achieve joy. Each chapter focuses on a different trait needed to move from grief to joy. The primary narrative arc is spiritual, even though stories of struggle, conflict, and loss are recurrent themes. Reclaiming Joy is part memoir, part guide, part inspiration. It captures the pain felt in the first years of widowhood in the move from grief to joy. It offers encouragement and advice to women who seek the strength to rebuild their lives and reclaim their joy.

xi, 272 pages ; 24 cm Questions of belief, and agency over personal belief, abound as individuals claim to have the right to believe whatever they so choose. In a carefully constructed argument, Bruce Reichenbach contends that while individuals have direct control over belief, they are obligated to believe--and purposely seek--the truth. Though the nature of truth and belief is an oft-debated topic, Reichenbach moves beyond surface-level persuasions to address the very core of what constitutes a human right. These epistemic obligations are critical, as the influence of belief is evident throughout society, from law and education to religion and daily decision-making. Grounding his argument in practical case studies, Reichenbach deftly demonstrates the necessity of moral accountability and belief Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-268) and index The challenge of epistemic obligations -- Epistemic obligations -- Grounds for epistemic obligations -- Epistemic obligations and justification -- Belief voluntarism -- Belief -- Epistemic obligations and accountability

Baptist Identity and the Ecumenical Future : Story, Tradition, and the Recovery of Community Steven R. Harmon Waco, Texas: Baylor University Press, Baylor University Press, Waco, 2016

xiv, 345 pages ; 24 cm Baptists tend to be the "problem children" of the ecumenical movement. The Baptist obsession to realize a true church birthed a tradition of separation. While Baptists' misgivings about ecumenism may stem from this fissiparous genealogy, it is equally true that the modern ecumenical movement itself increasingly lacks consensus about the pathway to a visible Christian unity. In Baptist Identity and the Ecumenical Future, Steven R. Harmon explores the relationship of the Baptist calling to be a pilgrim community and the ecumenical movement. Harmon argues that neither vision can be fulfilled apart from a mutually receptive ecumenical engagement. As Harmon shows, Baptist communities and the churches from which they are separated need one another. Chief among the gifts Baptists have to offer the rest of the church are their pilgrim aversion to overly realized eschatologies of the church and their radical commitment to discerning the rule of Christ by means of the Scriptures. Baptists, in turn, must be willing to receive from other churches neglected aspects of the radical catholicity from which the Bible is inseparable. Embedded in the Baptist vision and its historical embodiment are surprising openings for ecumenical convergence. Baptist Identity and the Ecumenical Future urges Baptists and their dialogue partners to recognize and embrace these ecumenically oriented facets of Baptist identity as indispensable provisions for their shared pilgrimage toward the fullness of the rule of Christ in their midst, which remains partial so long as Christ's body remains divided Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-310) and index Part I.

Does the Devil lie at the heart of the creative process? In The Devil as Muse , Fred Parker offers an entirely fresh reflection on the age-old question, echoing William Blake's famous "the true poet is of the Devil's party." Expertly examining three literary interpretations of the Devil and his influence upon the artistMilton's Satan in Paradise Lost , the Mephistopheles of Goethe's Faust , and the one who offers daimonic creativity in Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus Parker unveils a radical tension between the ethical and the aesthetic. While the Devil is the artist's necessary collaborator and liberating muse, from an ethical standpoint the price paid for such creativity is nothing less damnable than the Faustian pactand the artist who is creative in that way is seen as accursed, alienated, morally disturbing. In their own different ways, Parker shows, Blake, Byron, and Mann all reflect and acknowledge that tension in their work, and model ways to resolve it through their writing. Linking these literary conceptions with scholarship on the genesis of the historical conception of the Devil and recent work on the role of "otherness" in creativity, Parker insightfully suggests how creative literature can feel its way back along the processesboth theological and psychologicalthat lie behind such constructions of the Adversary.

The Scandal of Having Something to Say : Ricoeur and the Possibility of Postliberal Preaching Lance B. Pape Waco, Tex.: Baylor University Press, Baylor University Press, Waco, Tex, 2013

The Christian sermon--once the chief symbol of authority in Western culture--often appears in the postmodern imagination as synonymous with irrelevancy, biased judgment, and a rejection of absolute truth. While Christian preachers mourn the cultural disintegration of their hallowed practice, Lance B. Pape believes this modern turn enables the preacher to rediscover the sermon. Proclaiming the gospel, he contends, lies not in the cultural acceptance of the message but in God's free act of self-communication. Using Karl Barth's theology of the Word, Hans Frei's hermeneutical method, and, chiefly, Paul Ricoeur's theory of narrative as threefold mimesis, Pape develops a homiletic that recaptures the scandalous intent of the gospel. The Scandal of Having Something to Say then casts the post-liberal preacher as a'surrogate reader'of the biblical text on behalf of the congregation and opens new avenues for practice through the analysis and critique of two sermons.

A dangerous parting : the beheading of John the Baptist in early Christian memory Nathan L. Shedd; Baylor University Press, Waco, 2021

Execution by beheading is a highly symbolic act. The grisly image of the severed head evokes a particular social and cultural location, functioning as a channel of figurative discourse specific to a place and time―dissuading nonideal behavior as well as expressing and reinforcing group boundary demarcations and ideological assumptions. In short, a bodiless head serves as a discursive vehicle of __communication__: though silenced, it speaks. Employing social memory theory and insights from a thorough analysis of ancient ideology concerning beheading, __A Dangerous Parting__ explores the communicative impact of the tradition of John the Baptist’s decapitation in the first three centuries of the Common Era. Nathan Shedd argues that the early memory of the Immerser’s death is characterized by a dangerous synchroneity. On the one hand, John’s beheading, associated as it was with Jesus’ crucifixion, served as the locus of destabilizing and redistributing the degradation of a victim who undergoes bodily violence; both John and Jesus were mutually vindicated as victims of somatic violence. On the other hand, as John’s head was remembered in the second and third century, localized expressions of the "Parting of the Ways" were inscribed onto that parted head with dangerous anti-Jewish implications. Justin Martyr and Origen represent an attempt to align John’s beheading and Jesus’ crucifixion along a cultural schematic that asserted the destitution of non-Christ-following Jews and, simultaneously, alleged Christians’ ethical, ideological, and spiritual supremacy. __A Dangerous Parting__ uncovers interpretive possibilities of John’s beheading, especially regarding the deep-rooted patterns of thinking that have animated indifference to acts of physical violence against Jews throughout history. With this work, Shedd not only pushes John the Baptist research forward to consider the impact of this figure in early expressions of Jewish and Christian distinction, but also urges scholars and students alike to contemplate the ethics of reading ancient texts.

Right by Her Roots : Americana Women and Their Songs Hight, Jewly Baylor University Press ; [Gazelle [distributor, Baylor University Press, Waco, Tex, 2011

In this day of digital delivery, more and more popular music arrives to its listeners in downloadable bits, giving away very little about where the songs come from or who is behind them. At the same time contemporary popular culture, with its ancestry-excavating Web sites and television shows, reveals that people are craving answers to those very same questions about themselves. Right by Her Roots is a book for this moment, a thorough and thoughtful exploration of the bodies of work of eight groundbreaking artists who acknowledge, in their songs and in their lives, their relationships to their roots--both musical and personal. Jewly Hight, a highly regarded and spiritually-savvy music writer, delves into the journeys and styles of eight of the most distinctive voices in Americana music: Lucinda Williams, Julie Miller, Victoria Williams, Michelle Shocked, Mary Gauthier, Ruthie Foster, Elizabeth Cook, and Abigail Washburn. Hight proves there is much to be gained from digging into the oeuvres of singers and songwriters who put something of themselves and their pursuits of meaning into their music. What she unearths, through vivid original interviews and perceptive analysis of their spirits, sounds, and styles--not just their lyrics--is rich insight into what animates their work and how they view and experience the world. Giving music-making women the serious attention they deserve but rarely receive, Right by Her Roots is an especially important and engaging account.

Aunting : Cultural Practices That Sustain Family and Community Life Laura L. Ellingson and Patricia J. Sotirin Waco, Tex.: Baylor University Press, Baylor University Press, Waco, Tex, 2010

Whether related by biology, marriage, circumstance, or choice, aunts embody a uniquely flexible familial role. The aunt-niece/nephew relationshipthough often overlookedis critical and complex, one that appears at the core of a resilient, healthy family life. In this engaging book, Laura Ellingson and Patricia Sotirin construct a consideration of "aunts" that moves from noun to verb. "Aunts" is more than a group of people or a role; instead, "to aunt" is a practice, something people "do." Some women "aunt" as second mothers, friends, or mentors, while others play more peripheral roles. In either case, aunts nonetheless significantly impact their nieces and nephews life choices. Drawing on personal narratives that represent a rich cross section of society, Ellingson and Sotirin construct a cohesive story of the diversity of aunting experiences in the contemporary United States. Skillfully written, Aunting recovers the enormous potential of this dynamic kinship relationship and offers a model for understanding and supporting the variety of families in society today.
