In many ways, nonverbal as well as verbal, the New Testament gives a confident witness to the realities (some invisible, some visible) of God's action in creating a new heaven and a new earth. Exegesis of these texts should therefore focus on understanding those realities, even in spite of the many inherent difficulties. To explore both the opportunities and the difficulties, texts are selected from the Epistle to the Hebrews, the Apocalypse of J…
On Seeing the Good News
The Promise of Life in the Gospel of John
“We are now in a position to resolve the apparent contradiction in the two promises given by Jesus to Martha. As the life, Jesus promised believers that they would never die; as the resurrection, he indicated the kind of dying that would lead to resurrection. The death from which believers were promised immunity was the death in sin. ... Those who live 'in Christ' will never suffer that death. The death that followers of Christ would die was anot…
The Holy and The Sacred
“The sacred is found wherever religion is found; the holy wherever God is present. Accordingly, it is quite possible to consider many things as sacred but nothing as holy, or equally possible to treat many things as holy but nothing as sacred. Everything depends on the concept of God. Of the two terms, theistic religions view the holy as primary, the sacred as secondary.”
Bach and Today's Theologians
“One should distinguish between Bach's use of Scripture and proof-texting. The latter exploits the ancient story as a tool to sanctify present ideas and authorize present behavior, and is self-enhancing. Bach's music transports listeners back into that earlier time and views present behavior through the lens of the biblical story; it is inherently self-transcending.”
A Scholar's Scholar
The Bible's Authority in the Congregation
“How does the Bible actually exercise authority in any particular congregation? Suppose we think of congregations we know best, and allow me to begin with my own experience that spans a half-century, more or less, in the same place. But after I relate my own experience, I want to invite you, my readers, to take a simple test which you can apply to congregations you have known. The order is important because I believe your answers to the question …
Evangelism, Ecumenism, and John Seventeen
“I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory which you have given me I have given them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and …

Ecumenical Theology—Profession or Vocation
“ ‘Will we, in the coming years, do our work primarily as a church vocation or as an academic profession, and how will our answer to that question affect our contribution to the ecumenical movement?’ ... The academic theologian will probably continue to stress the importance of such agencies as AAR and SBL more than such agencies as NCC or WCC. Confining ourselves to our work as university theologians, then, I think that the trend is definitely d…

Communication and Community
“... conversation marks the voluntary opening of an invisible door that ends an inner isolation between persons. Their meeting and their conversation create for both a new situation out of which unpredictable developments may emerge. A genuine dialogue produces a new orientation for both participants. Two centers gravitate together, so that by standing at the same point each comes to see what the other sees. ... In speech, a common past is both d…
Ontology and Ecclesiology in the Apocalypse
You may be surprised at the first term in my topic: ontology. Should a biblical interpreter deal with such a topic? Is he obliged to clarif the ontological assertions and assumptions of the biblical writers? From our colleagues in other disciplines we hear differing answers to this question. Some philosophers demand from us greater concern with ontology. Others warn us against such concern. Still other philosophers, absorbed in the discoveries of…
Brahms' German Requiem
“We may perhaps best sense the temper of Brahms' faith by the whole body of his religious music. Schumann had said of listening to his music: ‘We stand in the wonderful view of the spiritual world.’ The best clue to his personal faith is provided by the texts which he adopted for the music. Most notable is the text of the Requiem itself.”
