very good assessment and conclusions drawn
Refreshing breath of air
Changed the way I read the Scriptures Soulen demonstrates convincingly that supersessionism is not a new phenomenon, but permeates Christian theology almost from inception. While it is a bit discouraging to see that our most influential Christian theologians harbor crucial contradictions within their construal of the Biblical narrative, in this case it seems true that a problem well defined is a problem half solved. Soulen recontextualizes the economy of sin and redemption within the larger economy of creation and consummation, which enables a more coherent and consistent reading of the Biblical narrative, and holds great promise for the restoration of continuity between the Old and New Testaments. Taking note of the review above questioning Soulen's comments on the centrality of Christ in the Biblical narrative, I would contend that Soulen's recontextualization does not minimize Christ's work, but rather clarifies how Christ's redemption victoriously accomplishes God's original intentions for God's creation. The bold thesis is that sin did not thwart God's purposes for creation, or cause God to resort to "Plan B." This is not to say that Christ's crucifixion was part of God's original intentions, but rather that, while Christ's crucifixion and resurrection were made necessary by humanity's sin, our sin and God's redemption have been beautifully, mysteriously taken up by God into God's original creative purposes. Highly, highly recommended reading.
A Nice Explanation of Supersessionism
Unity at what price? I disagree strongly with Dr. Soulen's new interpretive scheme that accomplishes these goals, however.I do believe there is a way to unify the Scriptures, and to reconcile Old and New Testament, Law and Grace, Israel and the Church.But Dr. Soulen believes it is necessary to see God _primarily_ as consummator rather than redeemer, while I would propose that the secret to unifying the scriptures is to see him as the revelator. Anyway, the field is complex and would be difficult to cover in a short review.The following two quotes from the concluding chapter of Dr. Soulen's book will have to suffice to illustrate the implications of his approach: Page 172: "The church is commissioned to make disciples of all the nations... It has no comparable commission to seek the "conversion" of the Jewish people.This is especially true of the gentile church.Nothing in the Apostolic Witness [the New Testament] remotely suggests the validity of a gentile-Christian mission to non-Christian Jews.Christians should not hide or minimize their faith in conversation with Jews.But the church, above all in its gentile portion, should cease organized mission efforts among the Jewish people.Instead the church of the Gentiles should seek to live before the Jewish people in such a way that Israel can reasonably infer that here the nations of the world truly worhip the God of Israel and in this way manifest the truth of its gospel.(see Rom 11:13-14)." Page 175: "The unity of the Christian canon is not best unlocked by insisting that everything in the Bible points toward Jesus Christ... Without doubt everything turns on Christ, but not everything concerns Christ." I am trying to be fair in extracting enough of the above passages to show that Dr. Soulen is not completely one-sided.If I had left out some of those sentences, of course the passages would have seemed more extreme. Nevertheless, I disagree with Dr. Soulen on these specific points and several others.I do believe that the unity of the Scriptures is best unlocked by showing how everything points toward Jesus Christ.I believe the Scriptures document the gradual revelation of the nature of God, for his own glory.I believe that Hebrews 1:1-4 states that Jesus is the final Word of revelation of God's character. I think it is possible to see the Scriptures this way and still avoid the problems that Dr. Soulen (correctly) decries, those of triumphalism and latent gnosticism. Despite our disagreement, the motivation segment of this book is right-on, and I am glad that Dr. Soulen has exposed these problems as well as he did.I hope this can be the beginning of further discussion of ways to resolve these issues. ...

Hermeneutics aren't what they used to be. It is surprising to see how different the interpretaions by early theologians are from their counterparts today.Early interpreters saw different levels of meaning in the text.There was a literal surface level for the unspiritual, and a deeper level for the spiritual.Not all interpreters agreed on allegorical interpretation, but all acknowledged the divine author of Scripture put deeper meaning and hidden treasures of revelation in the sacred text. Translations of eight ancient authors are given in the rest of the book. Sifra I found the book very intresting and informative.Froehlich does a great job of describing interpretation during those early years. One just assumes the Bible was always interpreted in a literal fashion like it is today.I think this kind of knowledge is a little hard to find. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Roman Catholic pilgrimage sites in Western Europe range from obscure chapels and holy wells that draw visitors only from their immediate vicinity to the world-famous, often-thronged shrines at Rome, Lourdes, and F‡tima.These shrines generate at least 70 million religiously motivated visits each year, with total annual visitation exceeding 100 million.Substantial numbers of pilgrims at major shrines come from the Americas and other areas outside Western Europe. Mary Lee Nolan and Sidney Nolan describe and interpret the dimensions of Western European pilgrimage in time and space, a cultural-geographic approach that reveals regional variations in types of shrines and pilgrimages in the sixteen countries of Western Europe.They examine numerous legends and historical accounts associated with cult images and shrines, showing how these reflect ideas about humanity, divinity, and environment. The Nolans demonstrate that the dynamic fluctuations in Christian pilgrimage activities over the past 2,000 years reflect socioeconomic changes and technological transformations as well as shifting intellectual orientations.Increases and decreases in the number of shrines established coincide with major turning points in European history, for pilgrimage, no less than wars, revolutions, and the advent of urban-industrial society, is an integral part of that history.Pilgrimage traditions have been influenced by—and have influenced—science, literature, philosophy, and the arts. Christian Pilgrimage in Modern Western Europe is based on ten years of research.The Nolans collected information on 6,150 shrines from published material, correspondence with bishops and shrine administrators, and interviews.They visited 852 Western European shrines in person.Their book will be of interest to many general readers and of special value to historians, cultural geographers, students of comparative religion, anthropologists, social psychologists, and shrine administrators. |
