The two English versions are necessary because the mentioned Greek and Latin versions there were others frequently, and sometimes significantly, differ one from another; and since some of the commentaries Norris renders are responding to the Greek and some to the Latin, it is essential for readers to have before them renderings of both so that the detailed discussions of verbal particulars often provided by the commentators might make sense. Norris divides his double translation of the Song into sections according to breaks in sense deciding when these occur is itself a difficult matter , and he follows each section with brief usually less than a page summary comments of his own on its themes and difficulties.
It is, rather, an attempt to evoke the intersection of the two, namely: Readers who wish to be schooled in early Christian interpretation of Isaiah will find in this volume a thorough collection, representative of the variety and breadth of patristic readings, chosen for their spiritual, exegetical, and theological significance, conveniently arranged according to the chapters of Isaiah.
While a surface reading will certainly provide the novice with a window to the varied world of early Christian interpretation of Isaiah, this is not how the work functions best. The necessary brevity of the chapter introductions, the variety of the selections, and their ordering within a chapter demand of the reader careful attention and even clarity of purpose in order for the volume to yield its rich results.
The integrity of the church and the coherence of Christian theology depend on a proper identification of Jesus Christ. He proposes that this essential refocusing should begin with an appreciation of the notion of the person as developed by the Cappadocians. Chief among the current advocates of this type of theological approach is John Zizioulas. In his book Time Exposure, the sociologist Richard Fenn argues that the haste characteristic of life in contemporary Western societies stems from a loss of belief in divine providence. This loss, which he notes is compatible with continuing belief in God, exposes human beings to pure time, with no guarantee of meaning other than that which they fashion for themselves.
It is this world, not some other, that holds the secrets behind our own existence.
Bereft of the shelter of institutions that transcend the passage of time, individuals have to seize their own times; time is indeed all they have. The awareness of the passage of time makes every one, in the end, marginal. Baptists need to discuss the normativity of tradition; yet, few Baptists have an adequate concept of tradition to carry on such a conversation. Reading Charles Taylor can be a frustrating experience. He has a penchant for writing large books with subtle but complicated theses that examine broad swaths of history.

Although his writing style is clear, both the genre and thesis of his works are not. Where do we place his work? It is not quite history, social science, political philosophy, cultural studies, or theology, but it draws upon all these disciplines. What is he saying to us, especially those of us who are theologians, about the relationship between faith and secularism?
To answer this question too quickly will surely be to misread him, for the theological significance of his work is complex and not easily discerned, largely because he often seems to be for and against something at the same time. Rather, justification refers to God's ioholly objective, wholly forensic judgment concerning the sinner's standing before the Law, by which forensic judgment God declares that the sinner is righteous in his sight because of the imputation of his sin to Christ, on which ground he is pardoned, and the imputation of Christ's perfect obedience to him, on which ground he is constituted righteous before God.
Christ's righteousness before God is in heaven at the right hand of God in Jesus Christ and not on earth within the believer. When the modern social theorist looks for explanations of the atrocities of the Shoah, or more broadly for an account of the deep mutual distrust that characterizes Jewish-Christian relations today, he turns naturally and correctly in search of historical antecedents and even, should it be possible, of the root causes of these tragic contemporary and yet to date perennial phenomena. And not surprisingly, his investigation often leads him to the texts of the New Testament.
The New Testament provides some of the earliest—and indisputably the most influential—accounts available of interactions between Christians and Jews, as well as the first sustained treatments by Christians of the vexing theological question of the true relation between the new and old covenants, between the old and new Israel, between the chosen people and the followers of Jesus of Nazareth.
From this modern and basically text-critical perspective, of the six to eight major New Testament witnesses, the author of Hebrews inevitably appears to be one of the worst culprits regarding the gradual deterioration of Jewish-Christian relations over the centuries.
Paul's letters or the Gospels, its authority even remaining in dispute for several centuries. Nevertheless, as to objective content, Hebrews seems at first blush to be enthusiastically "dispensationalist": Christ has entirely superseded Aaron as the high priest of the true religion e.

The old sacrificial system has been rendered utterly superfluous by the blood of Christ shed once for all Law has been supplanted cf. Der junge Luther und Aristoteles. In Martin Luther set forth a comprehensive program for the German Christian nobility to follow in reforming abuses in the church and Christian society.
One project was to overhaul the standard university curriculum by outlawing the study of certain works of Aristotle. The Physics, Metaphysics, Concerning the Soul, and Nicomachean Ethics were to be banned, while the Logic, Rhetoric, and Poetics were to remain in use, at least in abridged texts without commentary, because they contributed to improved speaking and preaching.
Luther felt such a ban urgent because the "blind, heathen" Aristotle had ruled higher studies, marginalizing the study of Scripture and the doctrines of faith. In the banned works Aristotle boasted about naturally acquired knowledge of the world while communicating nothing of value about the nature and work of the Holy Spirit.
