Book Review: Review: Grassroots Asian Theology

September 11, 2015 by Bob Trube Leave a Comment

Grassroots Asian Theology: Thinking the Faith from Ground Up by Simon Chan. Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 2014. Summary: In contrast to the growing list of “contextual” Asian theologies out of academic “elitist” settings, Chan explores the Asian theologies implicit in the popular church movements and writers in the Asian context, and particularly the significance of Pentecostal theology. One of the healthy developments in our post-colonial setting is the increasing number of Majority World theologians … [Read more...] about Book Review: Review: Grassroots Asian Theology

QU4RTETS (Scholar’s Compass)

July 17, 2015 by Tom Grosh IV Leave a Comment

QU4RTETS from Pilar Timpane on Vimeo. In the winter,  Bruce Herman shared about this  "robust 'cross-pollination' . . . between visual, literary, and musical forms" through  Scholar's Compass: QU4RTETS: A Collaboration. As we're in the summer I thought  that it would be good to once again soak in the work.  May you likewise find  the video, paintings, and reflection  a blessing as you take  a time of rest.  To God be the glory! … [Read more...] about QU4RTETS (Scholar’s Compass)

Scholar’s Compass: QU4RTETS: A Collaboration

December 30, 2014 by Bruce Herman 1 Comment

Image: Bruce Herman, detail of QU4RTETS #4 (Winter) At the still point of the turning world’there the dance is’ T. S. Eliot, cf. “Burnt Norton” from Four Quartets Reflection When I began my art training in the early 1970s, among the relatively small circle of art cognoscenti it was thought that traditional observation-based painting was largely a moribund practice. Painting itself had been declared “dead” and literary or narrative elements in art were thought simply beyond the pale of current … [Read more...] about Scholar’s Compass: QU4RTETS: A Collaboration

Theotokos – Mary as the Mother of God. An Advent Devotional

December 13, 2014 by Michael J. Stell, MATS 2 Comments

In the history of theology, there have been many issues which for those who are not “professional” theologians seem rather abstract. I know that there are times when I drive my wife crazy talking about some minutia of theological detail which has no connection to her world as a pre-school teacher, and she has never had a taste for the kind of hypothetical speculation which makes systematic theologians so excited. She is, however, very patient and tolerant, and I can even get her to do final proof-reading of manuscripts … [Read more...] about Theotokos – Mary as the Mother of God. An Advent Devotional

The Legacy of Kuyper

October 10, 2014 by Dan Jesse Leave a Comment

The sixth and concluding post in a series  drawing from and interacting with Richard Mouw's  Abraham Kuyper: A Short and Personal Introduction  (Eerdmans, 2011). Stay tuned for additional series by Dan Jesse applying Kuyper's insights to our context in higher education. We must continue to move forward in the tradition put forth by Luther. The Reformation has a famous saying, Ecclesia reformata, semper reformanda! The church needs to reform, and forever be reforming.   What is not meant in this motto is that we … [Read more...] about The Legacy of Kuyper
