Uniting History and Theology argues that, for too long, Christians primarily have used the historical method to make historical claims. In doing so, they have used a method grounded in an incomplete understating of German historicism, thereby closing off investigation of the past from the aesthetic and God. The author contends that Martin K hler, Wolfhart Pannenberg, and N. T. Wright have been unsuccessful in their attempts to unify history and theology because they have not yet rejected the historical method as the primary way to think about past events. Unsatisfied with the various mixtures of history and theology, the volume looks to the contemporary philosophy of history for new approaches. After having examined these approaches and their critiques of the current historical method, the work proposes that an intentionally Christian method is needed. Setting out five cairns that mark the path forward for such a method, the author argues that narratives must be taken seriously; objectivity and neutrality do not exist in historical accounts; historians must find ways to unite the past, present, and future; aesthetics should be used to judge historical narratives; and Christians should write boldly Christian history.

From Clement to Origen addresses the engagement of a number of pre-Nicene Church Fathers with the surrounding culture. David Rankin considers the historical and social context of the Fathers, grouped in cities and regions, their writings and theological reflections, and discusses how the particular engagement of each with major aspects of the surrounding culture influences, informs and shapes their thought and the articulation of that thought. The social and historical context of the Church Fathers is explored with respect to the Roman state, the imperial office and imperial cult, Greco-Roman class structures and the patron-client system, issues of wealth production and other commercial activity, the major philosophical thinkers in antiquity, and to rhetorical theory and practice and the higher learning of the day.

From Jesus to the Internet examines Christianity as a mediated phenomenon, paying particular attention to how various forms of media have influenced and developed the Christian tradition over the centuries. It is the first systematic survey of this topic and the author provides those studying or interested in the intersection of religion and media with a lively and engaging chronological narrative. With insights into some of Christianity's most hotly debated contemporary issues, this book provides a much-needed historical basis for this interdisciplinary field.

From its beginning, despite its relatively small size, the Uniting Church has been convinced that it is a Church with a public role to play in Australia. This new book - from a variety of theologies and disciplines - is an important 'marker' of the Church's public role in Australia at the beginning of the twenty first century. The study examines topics rarely discussed in denominational studies or by the authors of the standard texts on Australian religious history. It deals honestly with themes that have newly emerged in the first decade of the twenty first century. These include the distinctive nature of Uniting Church spirituality; the tension between good management and theological faithfulness; the political involvement and ecological engagement of Uniting Church people; the Church's extraordinary cross-cultural and inter-faith commitment; and the rise of Progressive Christianity. The book also deals with topics that have received renewed interest and sometimes heated debate in recent years, including the weakening of the Church's commitment to ordained ministry, concerns over the Church's softening attitude to scholarship; the reception of the Uniting Church's founding document, the Basis of Union; controversy over Uniting Church schools; the complex place of the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress, the Aboriginal wing of the Uniting Church; and the struggles faced by Evangelicals within its life. The contributors, both lay and ordained, represent a broad range of disciplines (theology, history, social sciences, environmental studies, political science), bringing both scholarship and passion to their writing. They are scholars and academics who write out of personal and practical experience, and include leading lay scholars in the Uniting Church from Australia's most prestigious universities who offer fresh perspectives from outside the Church's own formal structures. Many of the chapters in An Informed Faith are supplemented with up-to-date data provided by The Uniting Church in the New Millennium' national survey of Uniting Church clergy conducted by Rodney Smith and William Emilsen in late 2013. The book is essential reading for all members of the Uniting Church, and for people - students, academics, leaders of other Christian Churches - who have a concern for the ministry and mission of the Uniting Church in Australia. It offers rare glimpses into Australian religious, political, social, environmental and educational history; and serves as an accurate witness of what is happening within the Uniting Church and many of the other Churches in Australia in our time.

"Christians form a worshipping community so learning how to worship is an important part of being a Christian. There is an important concern for practical relevance in the church today but worship should not be conducted in ways that are simply 'hip' or 'trendy' without first ensuring that they are also theologically well grounded. Pragmatic questions such as 'Does it work?' or 'Is it relevant?' must be preceded by the question 'Is it right?' Some worship services have the look and feel of entertainment and the focus seems not to be on God or the Gospel but on the congregation and its assets and preferences. Behind every act of worship there are theological ideas but such ideas are not always well grounded in the story of what God has done in Jesus Christ." -- back cover.

This pioneering study of Australian, New Zealand, and Pacific Christianity opens up new perspectives on Christianization and modernization in this richly complex region. The reception of Christianity into Pacific cultures has produced strongly Christian societies. Based on research in widely scattered archives, this book not only deals with regional interactions but pays careful attention to developments in microstates, and to the variety of indigenous religious movements, which were earlier regarded as deviations from Christian orthodoxy but are now seen as significant adaptations of Christian teaching. In Australia and New Zealand too, European Christian beginnings have been given local emphases, producing Churches with distinctive identities. Lay leadership is emphasized - not only in the Churches but as part of the Christian presence in the realms of politics, business, and culture. The broad liturgical, theological, constitutional, and pastoral developments of the 19th and 20th centuries are mapped, as a context for the striking changes which have taken place since the 1960s. The dynamics of religious change and conflict, the ambiguities of religious authority, and the destructive effects of Christian colonialism on indigenous communities, especially Australian aborigines, are all frankly dealt with. The decline of the institutional impact of the Churches in Australia and New Zealand is explored, as is the growth of partnership between government and Churches in education, social welfare, and overseas aid and development. Interchange in personnel and ideas is strikingly illustrated in the missionary activities of the regional Churches and their cultural impact. The author's involvement in Church and community leadership, ecumenism, and theological education makes this volume in The Oxford History of the Christian Church a valuable addition to the series, describing both continuities with world Christianity and little-known local developments.

How did the Christian Church originate, what journeys has it taken over two millennia, and how did it come to exist in its present, myriad forms? The answers to these questions form a tapestry of history that reaches from first century Palestine to the ends of the earth. This volume tells this rich story from an ecumenical perspective, drawing on both Eastern and Western historic sources in exploring the rise of Eastern Orthodoxy; the church across Asia, Africa, and the Americas; and the reformations of the Western Church; including the diversity of contemporary voices. The work benefits from many pedagogical features: - boxed text sections identifying central figures and points of debate - study questions for each chapter - chapter summaries - maps --charts --index Supplemented by over 400 illustrations, this book embraces the universality of historic and current Christianity, creating a single and comprehensive volume for students of Church history and systematic theology.
