Für viele ist Theodor Christlieb (1833-1889) heute ein unbeschriebenes Blatt. Das war nicht immer so. Zu seinen Lebzeiten und etliche Jahre danach galt er als einer der Champions der späten Erweckungsbewegung. Mit seinen Ideen hat er maßgeblich den Neupietismus und damit auch die Anfänge der evangelikalen Bewegung geprägt. Hinzu kommt, dass sein Interesse vor allem einer Frage galt, die heute immer drängender wird, nämlich: Wie können Menschen Christen werden? In seiner 1893 erschienenen Homiletik erörtert er diese Frage intensiv. Dabei zögert er nicht, dem evangelischen Theologen Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) zu widersprechen. Denn der hatte sehr wirkungsmächtig dafür plädiert, alle Gottesdienstbesucher möglichst immer für Christen zu halten.Arndt Schnepper ist Professor für Praktische Theologie an der Theologischen Hochschule Ewersbach.
Send us a textWith the appointment of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury, debates around “liberal Christianity” have reignited—but most people misunderstand what the term actually means. In this video, I trace the roots of liberal Christianity back to nineteenth-century thinkers like Schleiermacher, who, inspired by Kant, reimagined faith as an inner moral and spiritual experience rather than a set of metaphysical claims. I then contrast this historical movement with the modern political label often used in today's culture wars, showing why many arguments about “liberal” versus “conservative” Christianity miss the deeper theological questions at stake.Support the show--------------------------If you would want to support the channel and what I am doing, please follow me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/christianityforall Where else to find Josh Yen: Philosophy YT: https://bit.ly/philforallEducation: https://bit.ly/joshyenBuisness: https://bit.ly/logoseduMy Website: https://joshuajwyen.com/
Please turn in your Bibles to Malachi chapter 2. Our sermon text is verses 1-9. That can be found on page 953 in the pew Bible. Last week, we learned that the people had been bringing polluted offerings to the temple. They were supposed to bring unblemished offerings for the sacrifices. Instead, they brought lame and sick and blind animals. By doing so, they were dishonoring the Lord. I usually don't spend a lot of time on sermon titles. But last week's title and this week's title are connected. Last week's title was The Polluted Offerings and the Pure Offering. This week, it's The Polluted Priests and the Perfect Priest. That is because last week's passage and this week's passage are connected. The problem was not only that the people were bringing impure offerings. The problem was also that the priests were allowing it. And not just allowing it, supporting it and failing to lead the people in God's way and will. Let's now come to God's Word Reading of Malachi 2:1-9 Prayer In 1794, a young man was ordained to pastoral ministry in Berlin. He was brilliant and eloquent. This man had studied theology and philosophy at a Protestant university named after the great Martin Luther. As a young pastor, he witnessed the younger generation in Germany walking away from the church. That greatly grieved him, as it should. But, to win them back, he developed a new kind of theology which he hoped would make Christianity more attractive to modern minds. He began to teach that the essence of faith was not trusting in God's revealed truth, but feeling God's presence within. The Bible, he said, was not divine revelation itself, but a record of human experiences with the divine. Repentance gave way to sentiment, and the cross of Christ became a symbol rather than a saving act. His name was Frederich Schliermacher. Sadly, his sermons and teaching spread across Germany. Even worse, after he became a professor at the University of Berlin, his influence spread to all of Europe and into America. In the last two centuries, Schleiermacher's beliefs have led thousands of churches and millions of Christians astray. Few men in modern history have done more to undermine the Gospel while claiming to defend it. I bring this up as an example of what Malachi 2:1-9 warns against. The priests were supposed to lead the people. They were the ones who were to direct the people to the Lord and were to faithfully teach his truth. But they failed. Look down at verse 7. I know we are jumping ahead. But this is an important verse about the role of priests. It says, “For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.” The priests were not only to oversee the temple and sacrificial system, but they were to faithfully teach God's truth. By the way, that is different from a prophet. A prophet was given new revelation from God. A priest was to teach what God had already reveled. Does that make sense? Well, as you know, we do not have priests today. No, the priestly function in the Old Testament has been fulfilled in Christ. That is why there are no priests in the New Testament. There are no more animal offerings, because, as a reminder from last week, Jesus offered himself for us as the ultimate offering for sin. However, there are some parallels between priests and pastors… or priests and teachers of God's Word. Both are to direct people to God, and both are to faithfully teach his Word and live out his ways. So, a big part of the application of these verses today is about preachers and teachers. And as you will see, the stakes are high. Now, you may be tempted at this point to check out. Maybe you are thinking, “I'm not called to teach the Bible, so this doesn't really apply to me.” Well, I want to say a couple things. · First, one of the passages we read earlier in the service was from 1 Peter 2. In 1 Peter 2:9, God's people are called a royal priesthood. Maybe you've heard the phrase, “priesthood of all believers.” In some ways, we are all to teach and model God's Word. You may not have a formal teaching role in the church, but you may be called to disciple others at some point in your life. Or if you are married, you have a responsibility to lead or participate in leading your family. · Second, this passage teaches us to know what to look for in a Godly leader in the church. In the Old Testament times, the priests were descendants of Levi, one of Jacob's 12 sons. However, in the New Testament, elders and pastors in the church are appointed by the church. So, we have a responsibility to seek Godly men to lead. I'm just saying that these verses apply to everyone in the church. Which brings us to Malachi 2. We're going to look at three things: #1. The Curse. #2. The Corruption. And #3. The Covenant. 1. The Curse So, number 1. The Curse. Briefly look at verse 1. It says, “And now, O priests, this command is for you.” It's referring to the command in chapter 1 to bring pure offerings. Last week, our focus was on the people bringing their offerings. But the bigger problem was that the priests were letting them. The priests were not rejecting the offerings that the people were bringing. They were not reminding the people of God's command to bring unblemished offerings. Furthermore, the priests were taking the people's polluted offering, and they were the ones sacrificing them on God's altar – polluting God's altar. Also from last week, we saw that the end of chapter 1 was all about honoring the Lord. The people were dishonoring him by bringing inappropriate offerings. But it was the priests who were leading the people to dishonor God. That is why, in chapter 2, verse 2, God warns them. He says, “If you will not listen, if you will not… give honor to my name… then I will send the curse upon you.” That word “curse” is used three times here. God is warning of their damnation if they do not repent. “IF you will not listen or… honor me, THEN I will send the curse upon you.” Well, what was the curse? Three things would happen. · Number 1 – God would curse their blessing. In fact, verse 2 says that he has already cursed their blessing. The priests blessing was their blessing on God's people. Quite often at the end of our worship, Coleman or I will use the Aaronic blessing from Numbers 6. You probably know it well, “may the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.” Aaron was the first High Priest – he was from the tribe of Levi. And he and the priests were to bless the people. Well, God had taken away their blessing. In fact, he had turned their blessing into a curse. Instead of blessing the people… through their words and actions, they were cursing the people. That's very sad. · Number 2 – The Lord also says that he would “rebuke their offspring” – their seed. This is about the Levitical line. You see, these priests were priests because their fathers were priests. Their fathers were priests because their father's fathers were priests. The priests in Malachi 2 were part of the priestly succession going all the way back to Levi. God was saying that their particular branch of the Levitical line would end with each of them. It was a devastating warning for them. · And Number 3 – this one was the worst… and most graphic. Middle of verse 3. “I will spread dung on your faces.” It's referring to the contents of the entrails of the offerings. When the people brought the offerings, the priests prepared the offering. They would remove the inner digestive system. You know, intestines and such. Those things were to be carried off and burned outside the temple area. It was all unclean. God was saying that the priest's acts were so shameful that God metaphorically would spread the unclean intestinal dung on their faces. They were to be carried off like the innards to be burned. It's a stinging warning they would be cursed like the dung. Add those three things together and it is a pretty condemning curse upon them. #2. The Corruption Which brings us to point #2, The Corruption. We're going to move down to the second half of our passage next. We'll come back to the middle section in a minute. We've already looked at verse 7 which is about their responsibility to teach. But now look at verse 8. It begins, “you have turned aside from the way.” The priests own lives did not display the godliness and wisdom of God. They were not living out God's commands. And that makes sense, doesn't it. It stands to reason that if they were not directing the people to fulfill God's commands then they themselves were not doing it. Not in every case, but often a pastor who begins to teach false doctrine or who does not direct his people in righteousness, has himself fallen from the way. And the result of turning aside is found in the second half of verse 8. “You have caused many to stumble by your instruction.” I want you to think of the gravity of what they were doing. The priests were leading people to destruction. That is why the curse, as we just considered, was so condemning! Their sin not only impacted them, it impacted many. A friend once said to me, “you know, all sin is the same before God.” He was trying to argue that his sexual sin was the same as telling a white lie. But that is not true. Yes, each and every sin deserves God's judgment. Our sin, no matter what it is, condemns us before our holy God. No matter our sin, we need Christ. That is all true. However, there are degrees of severity with sin. It is not the same to think of murdering someone in your heart as it is to actually murder someone. Some sin, like actual murder, is more heinous. Some sin is more grievous in God's eyes. All sin deserves God's judgment, but some sin is more severe. And one of the worst sins in all of Scripture is when the leaders of God's people abuse the sheep or lead them astray. Malachi 2 here is just one of several Old Testament judgements against godless and morally corrupt leaders. Ezekiel 34, Isaiah 56, Jeremiah 23, and Zechariah 10 all speak of God's condemnation of the “corrupt” and “worthless” so-called “shepherds” and “watchmen” of Israel. Think of Jesus anger against the Pharisees. Or in James chapter 3, verse 1, it says “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” Now, if you're a math or science or English teacher, the Lord is not necessarily talking about you. Rather, his greater judgment will be upon teachers in the church. That is why the hammer is so heavy here in Malachi 2. They, themselves, had fallen from the way and they were leading people astray. You need to fire me… the moment I begin to teach false doctrine. If I ever start teaching things contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ or in direct contradiction to the Word of God, I should no longer be allowed to be a minster. I think you know this, I'm talking about tier one things that are very clear in Scripture. Things that we share with the Bible-believing Protestant world. For example, that salvation is found in Christ alone. There is no other way. Jesus death on the cross satisfied the wrath of God, for those who believe in him. We receive Jesus' righteous when we come to him by faith and in repentance. And furthermore, that the Bible is the very Word of God. It testifies to its own authority. You should boot me out if I ever undermine essential doctrines like those. You also need to fire me… the moment I commit a sin that undermines my responsibilities… like abuse or infidelity or a pattern of ongoing sin that is not being delt with or of which I will not repent. Obviously, like any elder, I sin and need the grace of God. However, just like the priests of old, a leader in the church should model faith and repentance. 3. The Covenant Which brings us to that very point. #3 The Covenant In the middle verses here, verses 4-6, we are given the picture of what a priest should be like! By the way, you'll see the word “Covenant” used several times in these verse. When I first saw that, I thought it was referring to the Covenant of Grace. You know the covenant that God had established with his people. The Covenant of Grace includes the covenant with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David. They all, in different ways, are part of the Covenant promises fulfilled in Christ. After all, verse 7 speaks of life and peace and reverent fear. Those are all benefits of God's Covenant with his people. However, I realized that the word Covenant here is actually referring to the specific responsibility that God had given to Levi and his descendants. Verses 4, 5, and 8, specifically refer to God's “covenant with Levi.” To be sure, the priestly order and responsibilities given to Levi directed God's people to the Messiah, so it's not unrelated. But it's different. By the way, there's not a single passage in the Old Testament which describes the covenant with Levi. However, we are given their priestly responsibilities in the book of Leviticus. That is why it is named Leviticus, of course. Also, we read from Deuteronomy 33 this morning which speaks of God's blessing upon Levi and his descendants. They were to keep the covenant; they were to observe and teach the word. The Levites were also to administer the offerings on the altar, and they were to protect the people from false teachers. And now look at the end of verse 5 into verse 6. “…he feared me.” As we talked about before, that's a reverent worship-filled fear of the Lord. “He stood in awe of my name. [verse 6] True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.” That description is the opposite of the priests of Malachi 2. It's the model. The priests were to give honor to God's name. They were to teach the truth of God's Word. Furthermore, walk with God in uprightness. And instead of leading people astray, they were to turn many people from sin. This is God's call for teachers and pastors in the church. I read a really good book last year. It's titled, Pastor as Leader. The author, John Currie, is a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary. He teaches and trains future pastors. The whole book is about the character and responsibilities of a pastor. The book is very rich and it's full of Scripture. Currie summarizes a pastor's role this way: “for the glory of God, a man of God, appointed by the Son of God and empowered by the Spirit of God, proclaims the word of God so that the people of God are equipped to move forward into the purposes of God together.” That's helpful, isn't it? Let me read that again… [repeat] That really captures the heart of Malachi 2:5-6. This is the kind of pastor that each and every church needs. A man who seeks God's glory and not his own. A man who leads his sheep in God's Word through his Spirit, and who cares for and loves them in Christ. I'll say, it's both sobering and inspiring to me. It's sobering because I know my own weaknesses and propensity for sin. I know I've failed at these responsibilities many times and perhaps even at times have hurt you without even knowing. I feel inadequate. But it's also inspiring because God doesn't call without equipping. He doesn't leave pastors to their own strength. No, God gives clear guidance to the role and responsibilities of a shepherd. His Word clearly reveals his salvation and clearly reveals his truth and his way. God furthermore gives his Holy Spirit to lead in righteousness and truth. And God provides earthly accountability in the process. And there's one more related thing. Look again at verse 6. “True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.” Who is this referring to? Is it referring to Levi? Well, Levi failed in many ways – he was vengeful and a murderer. What about Aaron, one of Levi's descendants? He was Moses's brother and the first High Priest. Is verse 6 referring to him? Well, don't forget that it was Aaron who led the people to melt their gold and create the idolatrous golden calf. He, at first, led many people astray. Verse 6 certainly doesn't describe Aaron's sons, who brought unauthorized fire and experienced God's immediate judgment. In Numbers 25 we are given the example of Aaron's grandson, Phinehas. He was identified as a faithful Levite who fought against unrighteousness. Perhaps verse 6 alludes to him. But in the end, there is only one who meets this description. He is the one in whom all the Levitical requirements are fulfilled. He is the perfect High Priest. Every single word he spoke was true instruction. Absolutely no wrong was found on his lips. He followed the way of God, keeping all the commandments of God. He not only walked in peace, as verse 6 describes, he bought and brought peace with God - peace beyond measure. And last, he turned many from iniquity. And the word “many” is a vast understatements. He had led billions in the way of truth and righteousness. Beloved, this is your Savior Jesus. In him is truth and righteousness, and through him is the only way to God. May each and every one of us as a priesthood of believers look to him for he is the way, the truth, and the life. And may every single pastor and teacher point to him as the great shepherd who laid down his life for his sheep… and may they point to his Word. And may we each follow his lead and model for he is the perfect priest.
Why doesn't prayer work the way we want? You pray for healing, peace, or even a new job…and instead of a clear answer, it feels like God left you on “read.” If you've ever wondered why God doesn't answer prayers, you're not alone.In this episode of Together for Good, Pastor Nate explores the purpose of prayer from a Lutheran perspective, with a little help from three German theologians (Schleiermacher, Tillich, and Martin Luther). Think of it as a crash course in “Prayer for Real Life,” with fewer halos and more honesty.✨ What you'll hear:Why prayer isn't a vending machine (sorry, no button for instant miracles).How Christian theology explains unanswered prayers.Why even Jesus prayed for something and didn't get it.What prayer is really about: connection, trust, and God's presence in suffering.Whether you're searching for “why doesn't God answer my prayers,” “Christian teaching on unanswered prayers,” or just curious about how prayer actually works, this conversation is for you.
The vast majority of work on Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel is academic: summaries, clarification, footnotes and so on. In this series of classes, I'm here to show you how to live Heschel's religious philosophy, not understand it. In this first lecture, I show how one begins this process by first gathering three philosophies: 1) Schleiermacher, 2) Pragmatism, and 3) Phenomenology. With these basics, one is ready to identify what connecting to God looks like, whether you've ever done it yourself, and how it creates and informs Judaism.
With Ascent to the Beautiful, William H. F. Altman completes his five-volume reconstruction of the Reading Order of the Platonic dialogues. This book covers Plato's elementary dialogues, grappling from the start with F. D. E. Schleiermacher, who created an enduring prejudice against the works Plato wrote for beginners. Recognized in antiquity as the place to begin, Alcibiades Major was banished from the canon but it was not alone: with the exception of Protagoras and Symposium, Schleiermacher rejected as inauthentic all seven of the dialogues this book places between them. In order to prove their authenticity, Altman illuminates their interconnections and shows how each prepares the student to move beyond self-interest to gallantry, and thus from the doctrinal intellectualism Aristotle found in Protagoras to the emergence of philosophy as intermediate between wisdom and ignorance in Symposium, en route to Diotima's ascent to the transcendent Beautiful. Based on the hypothesis that it was his own eminently teachable dialogues that Plato taught—and bequeathed to posterity as his Academy's eternal curriculum—Ascent to the Beautiful helps the reader to imagine the Academy as a school.

Jung était chrétien d'origine protestante. Bernard HORT, professeur à la Faculté universitaire de théologie protestante de Bruxelles, met en évidence et caractérise la culture protestante dans laquelle Jung baignait depuis son enfance. Il nous aide à situer Jung du côté de Schleiermacher, d'Otto et de Corbin et pas du côté de Ritschl, Barth, Bultmann ou même Schweizer. « Se souvenir de combats du jeune Jung pour l'émancipation spirituelle, relire les textes où il se fait critique et déplaceur de la tradition protestante, c'est donc souligner la capacité de distanciation sans laquelle il n'aurait pas été ce qu'il fut. Et c'est, du même coup pour la psychologie analytique, se remémorer la liberté et la lucidité qui font partie de ses racines. » Bernard HORTJung et le protestantisme par Bernard HORT – Editions Labor et Fides 2023 De la religion par Friedrich D.E.

Es geht weiter in der fulminanten Freiheitsgeschichte – Manuel und Stephan fragen sich, ob man denn eigentlich frei sein und sich zugleich an etwas oder jemanden binden kann… In der letzten Folge sind Manuel und Stephan bis zu Martin Luther gekommen – diese Folge setzt ein mit Immanuel Kants Ruf zur Autonomie des vernünftigen Menschen, der sich von der selbstverschuldeten Unmündigkeit befreit – und Jean-Jacques Rousseaus Idee der «Volkssouveränität», wonach die wahre Freiheit darin besteht, sich den Gesetzen zu unterwerfen, die man sich selbst gegeben hat. Und hier ist sie wieder: die eigenartige Verschränkung von Freiheit und Gebundenheit, von Unabhängigkeit und (freiwilliger) Unterwerfung – ein Miteinander, das bei Schleiermacher theologisch gefasst wird: Der Mensch wird wahrhaft frei, wenn er seine «schlechthinnige Abhängigkeit» von Gott anerkennt. Barth, ein eigentlicher Antipode Schleiermachers, bekräftigt diesen Grundsatz auf seine Weise: Wahre Freiheit gewinnt der Mensch nur im Gehorsam gegenüber Gott. Aber wie ist das zu denken? Stephan und Manuel diskutieren über die christliche Idee, dass der Mensch erst dann zu sich selbst und seiner Bestimmung (und damit zu seiner «positiven Freiheit») findet, wenn er in Beziehung zu Gott steht – zugespitzt (und mit Paulus) ausgedrückt: Wenn er sich unter die Herrschaft Gottes begibt. Aber ist das nicht ein übler Taschenspielertrick, mit dem Menschen doch wieder unter ein fremdes Gesetz gebracht und in eine bestehende Ordnung eingefügt werden? Gibt es nicht viele Christ:innen, welche den geistlichen Gehorsam gegenüber Gott und die lebenspraktischen Vorgaben christlicher Kirchen alles andere als befreiend erlebt haben?

Theology walks a razor's edge: it seeks to be true to God's revelation in history but it brings that revelation to each successive culture. German theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher did not like that his own 19th century culture was destroying Christian religion. So what'd he do? He made a very clever shift to invite that culture in for a conversation. It was a move that not only helped to burn the house of Christianity down to the ground, it established foundational roots for today's popular Christianity. In this episode I also unpack what NGOs do, what is down inside the Vatican's secret crypt, what Pope Pius XII did for the voiceless during the Holocaust, and what we've learned thus far in our ongoing series on God's beautiful Holy Spirit. Come laugh and think with me!

Disagree, agree, or have a question: Contact us through the contact page on our website; http://www.biblebulldog.com PART 3 of Chapter 1 - The Cultural Case against Creeds and Confessions by Dr. Carl Trueman with Pastor William Shifflett A world in which human nature is merely a construct put together by the individual or by the specific community in which the individual is placed is a world where historical documents, such as creeds, can have no transcendent significance but are doomed to be of merely local or antiquarian interest. Words, Mysticism, and Pragmatism. The current suspicion of words as reliable means of communication. Genesis 11:1- Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech. Psalm 127:1-2 - Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. Indeed, a whole school of literary theory has developed around the notion that words have become little more than tools to be used to marginalize and manipulate others. - Nazi propaganda film. That Christianity is a way of life and not a set of doctrines has become something of a mantra among younger Christians in the last ten years. There is also a popular strain of mysticism that pervades modern culture and that is profoundly suspicious of words. The notion that certain emotional sentiments or responses constitute truth, something that is often epitomized by the kind of statements made with remarkable regularity on TV talk shows, “I just know in my heart that it is true”. It it feels good. How can it possibly be wrong? There is no way you can refute this person's claim because it is not a claim expressed using public criteria commonly known as words and logic. It makes truth something mystical, something to be experienced, not something subject to normal criteria of public evaluation. In some churches preaching has been relativized and now stands alongside dramatic performances, candles, incense, and small group discussion. The authoritative voice of the preacher has been replaced by a more democratic dialogue. Schleiermacher offered an account of Christian theology which understood doctrine not so much as statements about the nature of God as a description of religious psychology. Doctrinal Christianity was exchanged for something mystical and experiential. Mysticism is alive and well within evangelical circles. Anyone that has been at a Bible study where the burden has been to explain “what the text means to me” has experienced it. Justin Peters - For those of you who may not be aware of what these Word of Faith teachings are, they believe that faith is a force, and your words are the containers for this force. They teach that you can create your own reality by speaking it into existence. They believe that God wants all believers to be healthy and wealthy, and if you're not, then there must be some unconfessed sin in your life, or you just don't have enough faith. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebulldog/message
Modern techniques and approaches to the discipline of history were inevitably turned on Jesus. But you may be surprised to learn that, at the origin, the desire was not to deconstruct but to shore up belief in Jesus, if not all the subsequent doctrinal accretions around him. In this episode, Dad walks us through the early history of the quest for the historical Jesus, its findings, what it gave and what it took away, and what any of it has to do with classic christology. Meanwhile, I essentially play the role of Waldorf and Statler, the grumpy guys up in the balcony of "The Muppet Show." Notes: 1.

This is the 100th anniversary of the publication of J. Gresham Machen's book, Christianity and Liberalism. Danny Olinger and Camden Bucey speak with Lane Tipton about the third chapter of Machen's classic, which addresses the relationship between God and man. In this chapter Machen responds to the theological views of Schleiermacher and Von Harnack, and how he invokes the category of “revealed rational theism” to unite a doctrine of God and man based on general and special revelation as the great “presupposition” of historic Christian orthodoxy. Machen argues that the doctrine of God and man revealed in Scripture is the basis for the gospel and forms the presuppositional substructure of Christianity, which modern liberalism is diametrically opposed to. He affirms a natural knowledge of God in conscience and history, but centers special revelation for doctrines of God and man. Jesus' use of the words of prophets and psalmists reveals the character of God and gives significance to the Old Testament heritage and Jesus' own teaching. Machen envisions this revealed theology as the “root of Christianity,” not a natural religion, and one that rests on the teaching of the Old Testament as interpreted by Jesus Christ and his apostles.

Mere Simulacrity, Session 2 Throughout the ages, theological and philosophical movements have been advanced based upon half-truths, false rhetoric, and equivocations championed as axiomatic principles. Theologians and philosophers, whether they are evangelical or non-evangelical, still use similar rhetorical devices to champion claims that undercut the concept of a universally valid approach to knowledge. They will say things such as: People have different perspectives, right? Clearly your background and personal biases influence your reading of the Bible or any other text, right? It would be overly prideful to claim that anyone particular person has the correct interpretation of the text, so why don't you take a humbler approach? Fundamental to these questions is a half-truth; namely, the fact that people do approach events, texts, or situations from different vantage points. However, underlying this approach is a philosophical commitment to the belief we cannot have universally valid frameworks of understanding. Many believe any commitment to a universally valid framework of understanding ought to be considered arrogant, white, western, patriarchal, or racist. Essential to this line of reasoning are one of many philosophical approaches to reality known as idealism, subjectivity, relativism, perspectivalism, or any other “ism” that affirms all we have are interpretations, not knowledge. Dr. Bill Roach traces the rise of different idealistic revolutions up to the present day embrace of the existential method by evangelical scholars and pastors. He addresses Plato's metaphysical idealistic, Kant's epistemological idealistic revolution, Schleiermacher's hermeneutical idealistic revolution, and Post-Modernism's linguistic idealistic revolution. Special emphasis is placed upon leading figures in philosophical hermeneutics and the various ways present-day scholars, whether secular or evangelical, have embraced one or more of the various expressions of philosophical idealism. Dr. Roach concludes with a call to embrace philosophical realism as a corrective to the varying idealistic revolutions throughout the history of ideas. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

We continue our series on Changing Minds... Let the Spirit move us sounds beautiful but it has a New Age spiritualists essence to it let alone the push to find Oneness with God is a view by the Emergent Church and their 4 Theologians they follow- Schleiermacher; Ritschl; Rauschenbusch; Tillich. We need to be very careful as what we say or accept as a tone of words when they may not think what you think they mean. Much of this Wordage is used in Worship to create the atmosphere of a Spiritual Flow or Wind that we may discover God so we can become ONE.

When we set several theologies next to each other, naming their core claims helps us to make sense of their relationships, even as we grant that more complexity rewards careful reading and study. So without necessarily reducing them, we can speak and write about Calvin’s theology of sovereignty, Schleiermacher’s theology of experience, Bultmann’s theology of kerygma, Thomas Aquinas’s theology of revelation, and so on. In his book Theology of Consent from SacraSage, Jonathan Foster proposes a certain notion of consent, borrowing elements from Rene Girard’s mimetic theory and others from Alfred North Whitehead’s process thought, to make a bid for our understanding of the ways in which we engage with God. Christian Humanist Profiles is glad to welcome Dr. Foster to talk with us about some of his ideas.
Lire, déchiffrer, interpréter. Considérer le déchiffrement est une occasion pour revenir sur ce que nous faisons quand nous « lisons » et, partant, sur ce qu'est l'écrit. Nous utilisons fréquemment des codes, nous parlons de déchiffrer pour indiquer une difficulté particulière de la « lecture », mais celle-ci ne trouve-t-elle pas l'accomplissement de sa dynamique dans une interprétation ? Situer la singularité du déchiffrement, c'est aussi réfléchir sur nos pratiques herméneutiques et interroger tout ce qui peut contenir ce petit mot de « lire ».Intervenant(s)Denis Thouard, CNRS, Centre Marc BlochDenis Thouard, directeur de recherche au CNRS (Centre Georg Simmel, EHESS/Centre Marc Bloch, Berlin), travaille sur la question de l'interprétation, la théorie herméneutique et l'épistémologie des sciences sociales.Il a publié notamment : Schleiermacher, Paris, Vrin, 2007 ; L'Interprétation des indices, Villeneuve d'Ascq, P.

Wir beschäftigen uns heute mit dem Konzept der Zeitbögen von Anselm Doering-Manteuffel. Dieser ordnet das 20. Jahrhundert entgegen der immer noch vorherrschenden Zäsuren von beispielsweise 1945. Genauer gesagt teilt er es in 3 Zeitbögen ein, die mehrere Jahrzehnte überspannen. Grundlage für diese Einteilung sind immer unterschiedliche Leitideen und Basisprozesse, die in den Einheiten gleich bleiben. Ob wir das Konzept sinnvoll finden, welche Zeiten und leitenden Ideen die Zeitbögen überhaupt umspannen und warum wir das Konzept wichtig finden erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge.

Stephanie and Robyn are joined by the Rev'd Teresa Kim Pecinovsky to discuss her gorgeous children's book Mother God . They discuss the importance of good theology and diverse representation in the church and in children's literature. Born in South Korea and raised in Iowa, Teresa had a brief stint as an ESL teacher in Japan, then landed in Houston, teaching early elementary and earning a Master of Education from the University of Houston. As a Vanderbilt Divinity School and Disciples Divinity House seminarian in Nashville, one of her most unexpected moments was reading Schleiermacher at 5 a.m. while pumping milk for her 4-week-old infant (don't ask her what she remembers about Schleiermacher now.) For the past three years Rev. Teresa has accompanied patients, families, and healthcare colleagues through hospice chaplaincy. Mother God is her debut picture book published by Beaming Books. Teresa is also excited to be a contributing writer for the upcoming Shine Story Bible through MennoMedia and Brethren Press. She and her spouse have two adorable and exhausting young children.

Another Schleiermacher episode? Yes, well sort of. This time with Dr. Eugene (Gene) Schlesinger. Gene is a scholar of ecclesiology (the understanding of the church) and someone Rev. Andrew knows from his time in the Episcopal Church. Gene came on the podcast to discuss his interests in ecclesiology which led him to be one of the only scholars to ever write work solely devoted to the ecclesiology of Schleiermacher. However, Schlesinger has a broad range of interests and also discusses his work on Henri de Lubac and the parallels he sees between Schleiermacher and de Lubac (maybe we need to forfeit our Protestant card now because of this episode!). Gene received his Ph.D. from Marquette University and currently lectures at Santa Clara University. He has taught courses at Marquette, Trinity School for Ministry, and Nashotah House Theological Seminary. He is the author of the book Sacrificing the Church: Mass, Mission, and Ecumenism: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XD6H6TD/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 He also has an upcoming book on Henri de Lubac (title to be announced!) Gene's article on Schleiermacher's ecclesiology is "Schleiermacher on the Necessity of the Church" published in Journal of Theological Study (Vol. 66, Pt. 1) The works from Henri de Lubac that Andrew referred to are Supernaturel and Medieval Exegesis, Vol. 2: The Four Senses of Scripture. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
A lecture with Q&A by Davenant Press Editor-in-chief (and Davenant Hall instructor) Onsi Kamel entitled "The Birth of Secularity: Henry More, Metaphysics, and the Battle for God's Spirit." In recent decades, intellectual historians have attempted to chart the development of “secular modernity,” generally locating its origins in medieval or Protestant metaphysics. Key claims of these genealogies crumble under scrutiny, not least of all blaming the Reformation for a metaphysical revolution. And yet the metaphysical gulf separating the medieval and modern periods is undeniable: the world of Kant and Schleiermacher is not the world of Albertus Magnus and Duns Scotus. If historians wish to better understand the development of secularity, a more helpful entry point is a seventeenth-century debate about the immateriality of the soul, the nature of space, and the spirit of God. Central to this debate was Henry More (1614 - 1687), a Cambridge Platonist philosopher now largely forgotten, but prominent in his lifetime. In this lecture, Mr. Onsi Kamel explores More's defense of traditional metaphysics against Cartesianism. This will both illuminate how intellectual change results as much from ideas failing as it does them succeeding, and explore the origin of a key shift within modernity: moving from an analogical understanding of God to a univocal one.

Dr. Daniel Pedersen joins us for a discussion on the 19th century German Reformed theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher. Schleiermacher is often called the 'Father of Modern Theology' or the 'Father of Liberal Theology'. Daniel explains what that term means and how he believes that term can mislead. Daniel takes a position that Schleiermacher is often misread and misinterpreted, and he sees Schleiermacher as more in line with the Great Tradition (and an important interlocutor in the Reformed Tradition). Daniel and Andrew also discuss some of the basic ideas of Schleiermacher as laid forth in his chief theological works On Religion: Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers and The Christian Faith. Daniel is a Research Fellow at the the University of Aberdeen. His interests run the gamut of modern theology and Protestant theology, from the Reformers to the 19th century and beyond. He earned his Ph.D. at Princeton where he studied under Bruce McCormack. He is the author of several books and articles on Friedrich Schleiermacher. Daniel's latest book Schleiermacher's Theology of Sin and Nature: Agency, Value, and Modern Theology is available at: https://www.amazon.com/Schleiermachers-Theology-Sin-Nature-Routledge/dp/0367188988 Daniel's article that we discussed on the Divine Attributes that argues for a strong continuity from the Reformed scholastics to Schleiermacher is "Schleiermacher and the Reformed Scholastics" from The International Journal of Systematic Theology 17: 413-431 Daniel's post "How to Understand Schleiermacher's Theology- A guest post by Daniel Pedersen" can be read at http://derevth.blogspot.com/2017/05/how-to-understand-schleiermachers.html *He advances his thesis further in an upcoming article for International Journal of Systematic Theology titled "‘A tragic destiny overtook him': Misunderstanding the Introduction to Schleiermacher's The Christian Faith and his Letters to Lücke'" Andrew discussed Gerhard Ebeling's comparison of Luther and Schleiermacher from Internationaler Schleiermacher Kongreß Berlin 1984.

Bien sabido es que la hermenéutica como temática de estudio y como herramienta esencial para la investigación ha sido ampliamente desarrollada a lo largo del siglo XX, representada en grandes pensadores como M. Heidegger, H. G. Gadamer y P. Ricoeur, quienes son antecedidos fundamentalmente por F. Schleiermacher y W. Dilthey. Pese a esto, en el siguiente trabajo nos proponemos rastrear los pasos que la hermenéutica o la teoría de la interpretación ocultamente fue dando a lo largo de la historia, sobre todo en el ocaso de la antigüedad y mucho antes de que estos filósofos la bautizaran como tal. Para ello nos adentraremos en el pensamiento de una de las figuras más importantes no solo de este período sino también de toda la filosofía cristiana: Agustín de Hipona. Por tanto, intentaremos exponer qué entendía el Hiponense por lo que hoy llamamos “hermenéutica”, qué lugar y valor le otorgaba dentro de todo su pensamiento y en la formación personal de cada hombre, y en qué rubros o ámbitos solía hacer uso de la misma como una teoría de la interpretación. Realizado esto, intentaremos mostrar cómo muchos rasgos agustinianos se encuentran implícitamente en la hermenéutica contemporánea

In our conversation we discuss: the nature and role of piety for Christian theology the historicity of religious traditions CS Pierce and the practice of musement how the enlightenment has shaped our engagement with the world the power of market & religious liturgies why Jonathan Edwards gets a bad wrap the task of being in a living tradition how monuments work with history theological anthropology reasons to keep a thick doctrine of sin why Schleiermacher is so awesome for thinking Christ & community thinking theologically about the fissures and tensions in the life of the church and culture how pastoral questions & challenges lead to economic and political critique the problematic relations between church & academy Previous Visits to the Podcast Douglas Ottati on a Liberal Christian Christology Why Write a Liberal Theology? w/ Douglas Ottati Liberal Christian Piety with Douglas Ottati The Genealogy of Liberal Theology Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community.

Michael Northcott is Professor of Religion and Ecology, Indonesian Consortium of Religious Studies, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia and Professor Emeritus at the University of Edinburgh. While he was in town between semesters in Indonesia we got to connect in his home office for energizing and nerdy conversation that covers quite a bit of ground including... how a factory job ruined systematic theology class consciousness and Christian socialism Schleiermacher, Barth, Tillich, and the socialist decision the Protestant problem with preaching scripture the birth of Radical Orthodoxy the religious predicament of modernity the task of being a member of a living tradition "Do Angels exist?" "the original sin is plant selection... the only life that is good on the planet is life we control, for we are the only beings with mentality and deserve the honor." "the biggest problem in systematic theology is its obsession with first cause and the inability to acknowledge multiple agencies" the connection between reductive accounts of agency and the political craziness in the US and UK why the bread at the Eucharist matters contemporary alienation from nature and community encountering nature anew and Jane Goodall the role of faith in ecological activism Michael mentions Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire If you are on twitter then you should follow Dr. Northcott.

Andrew Root is back on the podcast to talk about a cross centered practical theology. In his new book Christopraxis: A Practical Theology of the Cross he pushes back against his field avoiding robust interaction with systematic theology. In the podcast we cover Charles Taylor, Jungel, Kathryn Tanner, Kant, interdisciplinary studies, Schleiermacher, and other goodies. We also discuss his other new book Bonhoeffer as Youth Worker: A Theological Vision for Discipleship and Life Together. That's right, Bonhoeffer was a youth minister with a PhD. Andy is the Olson Baalson Associate Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Theological Seminary in Minneapolis. He also has a website and a podcast that you should check out. Here's his last visit to the podcast back in 2010 when we talked about despair. Enjoy! Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community.
