Charry provides a three-part overview of the role of doctrine to help cultivate a skilled life of excellence for a Christian believer. I believe these three sections, The Salutarity of Christian Doctrine, Renewing Sapiential Theology and Practicing The Theological Art to be the most practical areas of Charry’s work that can positively impact my church ministry. The Salutarity of Christian Doctrine Charry provides a great explanation and summary of her work by revealing how the primary…

Christian pacifism goes beyond opposing war. It represents more than being philosophically opposed to violence; it focuses on peacekeeping. Christian pacifism is spiritually founded in the scripture and the life of Jesus Christ, and his teachings of brotherly love and nonviolent coexistence. Jesus' words; "If someone slaps your cheek, offer him another, if someone demand your coat, offer him your shirt also", reflect the ideology behind Christian pacifism. Today, however, Christian pacifism…

With growing Christian populations in Africa, South America and Asia, the Church has quickly found the demographics of the body of believers is shifting from a majority in the west to a majority in the global south. While Christianity primarily associated itself with European and North American culture for the majority of the past two millennia, Christians now find the faith manifesting itself in cultures outside the traditional paradigm. Missions work claims a large responsibility for this…

things before, and based a reaction off of that fact. The article as if it is missing something, most likely more explanation from Trump's side or perhaps more quotes from his point of view. Overall the article is extremely well-written, it shows the Christian side of recent politics without combining church and state. It manages to give a religious leaders perspective without the religious leader criticizing the political leader: the pope simply asks the world to pray for world leaders and for…

Paul's Illustration of Self Denial In verse 26 Paul continues, "Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air. Paul uses the KJV Bible word "uncertainly" (Greek G84 ἀδήλως, adēlōs) to describe how he runs. The NASB translates the word "without aim." This is the only time the word is used in the NT. The word is used mostly by the classical writers of the day to usually mean obscurely. Paul reinforces his argument with the illustration of the boxing…

he observes Jewish customs and prayers. He is living as a Jew. One day, while Cornelius is praying, an angel of God appears and tells him to send some men to Joppa to talk to Peter. Frightened of the angel, he sends two of his slaves and a soldier right away. Meanwhile, the next day in Joppa Peter is on the roof praying when he sees yet another vision. He sees a sheet being lowered down from the sky with all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds running around on it. God tells him to go ahead…

In chapter one of Coleman O’Neil, OP’s book Meeting Christ in the Sacraments, O’Neil presents three important ideas which are: “Exodus,” “The Priesthood of Christ,” and “Members of the Priest.” (O’Neil pg. vii) O’Neil’s three points are so important that they are also echoed in the Magisterial document Sacrosanctum Concilium (hence forth referred to as S.C.). This paper will briefly examine why each of O’Neil’s ideas is significant, and this essay will also provide several quotes from the…

of the cruciform God is above all else love. The cross represents God’s deep love for us expressed in Christ Jesus dying for the ungodly to make a way for restored relationship. Likewise, Paul, in Romans 12:9-21 and 13:8-14, extols the marks of Christian character as most importantly an expression of love. Paul writes, “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor,” and later “Own no one…
