  • Beyond post-Christendom discipleship of the Evangelical Church in the United Kingdom: A study of the Gospel of Matthew in the transformissional and holistic perspective

    Open AccessDesmond Paul Henry, Max F SwartARTICLEVerbum et Ecclesia2021

    Discipleship has been, and continues to be, integral to the church’s strategy to simultaneously contribute towards the spiritual formation of its members and also fulfilling its mission. From the very outset of the church, Jesus demonstrated the centrality of discipleship through what he taught and practiced. However, as the United Kingdom moved into the post-Christendom era, the Evangelical Church has grappled with being effective in discipleshi…

  • Mystery and multiculturalism: Should the musterion of Ephesians 3 encourage multiculturalism in South African churches

    Open AccessDesmond Paul Henry, Alexander D SoalARTICLEVerbum et Ecclesia2021

    The objective was the examination of the musterion of Ephesians 3, whether it encouraged multiculturalism in South African churches. The knowledge gap was to find further biblical direction for churches experiencing cultural transitions and demographic changes. The research method was a qualitative analysis of biblical texts, as applied specifically in a South African setting, with global implications. The significance would be the cultural trans…

  • The reversal of Babel: Questioning the early church’s understanding of the gift of the Holy Spirit in Acts as a reversal of the curse of Babel

    Open AccessAlexander D Soal, Desmond Paul HenryARTICLEVerbum et Ecclesia2018References: 2

    This article questions whether a further gift of the Holy Spirit in Acts is the reversal of the curse of Babel and thus the rationale for multicultural local churches in an intercultural and globalised world. Using a non-empirical research design, including a literary survey of the Old Testament and New Testament texts and commentaries, the authors examine the significance of the division of language by God at Babel in the Genesis record. The inh…

  • Missional postures and practices for South African Baptist churches

    Open AccessDesmond Paul HenryARTICLEVerbum et Ecclesia2018References: 3

    This article enumerates the importance of a missional posture in our Baptist cultural moment and details various issues related to the author’s definition of the concept missio Dei. Moving to contextual practices among South African Baptists, the author deals with missional practices deployed in the Baptist context from a participant observer basis. Important principles for the effective implementation of those missional practices across the evan…

  • Considering the this-worldly religious focus of the African traditional worldview as found in South Africa

    Open AccessDesmond Paul Henry, Jacques MalanARTICLEVerbum et Ecclesia2017Cited by: 2References: 2

    Most articles evaluating the African traditional worldview focus an attack on the ancestor cult or highlight positive aspects of the worldview. In either case, mention of the this-worldly religious focus tends to be ‘in passing’. An evaluation of this aspect of the worldview is a gap in the research, which this article seeks to address. The findings should significantly affect evangelical ministry method to many people in the country. The this-wo…

  • Reflections on a missional ecclesiology for Africa's expressions of Christianity through the Tswana lens

    Open AccessDesmond Paul HenryARTICLEVerbum et Ecclesia2016

    The continent of Africa has indubitably shown exponential growth in the spread on the Christian faith since its introduction by colonial missionaries. It can thus be argued that a plurality of African Christianities thrive on African soil and are exported, through missionaries, to the developed world. This growth in Christian converts does not come without challenges to the future of the Church in Africa; these challenges abound and need to be ar…

  • Waves of mission amongst South African Baptists

    Open AccessDesmond Paul Henry, Nelus NiemandtARTICLEVerbum et Ecclesia2014References: 1

    Baptists in South Africa have developed along lines similar to other denominations of their day (e.g. the Dutch Reformed Church). However, there are six distinct waves of development within Baptist history in South Africa (including an emerging wave) that showcase the growth, development, digressions, limitations and transformation that has taken place in the Baptist denomination in South Africa. These waves are a tremendous help to the Baptist U…

  • A vision for the sending of the Church in Botswana

    Open AccessDesmond Paul HenryARTICLEVerbum et Ecclesia2011References: 1

    The purpose of this article was to present a vision (of a preferred future) for the southern African ecclesia, based on an accurate understanding of what can be termed a missional ecclesiology. This concept was explored using the current context of my ministry, that of the Republic of Botswana, as a primary interlocutor

  • Medieval Mereology

    Desmond Paul HenryBOOKMedieval mereology1991

    Mereology is the theory which deals with parts and wholes in the concrete sense, and this study follows its varied fortunes during the Middle Ages. Preliminary indications as to its metaphysical situation are followed by a brief sketch of Boethius' contribution. Peter Abelard, Gilbert of Poitiers, Clarembald of Arras, and Joscelin of Soissons are among the twelfth-century authors examined. The effect of the subsequent recovery of Aristotle's Meta…

  • That Most Subtle Question

    Peter King, Desmond Paul HenryARTICLEThe Philosophical Review1987

  • Universals and particulars

    Desmond Paul HenryARTICLEHistory and Philosophy of Logic1986

    The medieval version of the problem of universals centres around propositions such as ‘man is a species’ and ‘animalis a genus’. One of C. Lejewski's analyses of such propositions shows the semantic status of their terms by means of Ajdukiewicz-style categorical indices having participial or infinitive forms as their natural-language counterparts. Some medievals certainly used such forms in their corresponding analyses, thus avoiding the alleged …

  • Two Medieval Critics of Traditional Grammar

    Desmond Paul HenryARTICLEHistoriographia Linguistica1980Cited by: 1

    The converging criticisms of traditional grammar undertaken by Anselm of Canterbury and Boethius of Dacia involve their deprecation of the roles of usage and experience and their expulsion of substance from adjectival meaning. However, usage, experience, and fact turn out to be relevant in completing the truncated functors involved in their interpretation of adjectival meaning. The identification of these functors in terms of Leśniewski systems a…

  • The Logic of Saint Anselm

    Ernest A Moody, Desmond Paul HenryARTICLEThe Philosophical Review1970

    Saint Anselm, the 11th-century Archbishop of Canterbury, is well-known for his ontological argument for the existence of God. This book places his argument in the context of modal logic derived from Boethius, and also shows how linguistic analysis was developed extensively through Anselm's work
