The Churchman: Volume 99, Nos. 1–4
Overview
Upholding the Bible, supporting the church, and reaching society—the Church Society has been building on the evangelical foundations of the Church of England for over 100 years. Their theological journal, Churchman, provides intellectual leadership for evangelical Anglicans throughout the world. Gathering publications from as early as 1886, this collection contains 99 issues of Churchman that provide both insight into evangelical Anglican history, and cutting-edge articles on the evangelical movement in the Church of England today. Including ministry resources, discussion of pertinent theological issues, and historical analysis, Churchman is a vital tool for evangelicals in a time of rapid change and confusion in the Anglican Communion.
Top Highlights
“Jürgen Moltmann puts it, ‘Without the theodicy2 question, where is the risk of faith?’3” (Page 6)
“Nothingness, currently preferred to das Böse, indicates the adoption of an ontological perspective—the problem of evil is treated in terms of being, non-being, and negation.” (Page 121)
“The Thomists indeed offer consolation when they proclaim the reversal of evil through redemption: God’s using evil in the service of his glory and of the salvation of man—etiam peccata! Without doubt God’s plan, in its sovereign wisdom, takes into account even the perverse machinations of his free creatures and somehow brings about good from evil. But what if we follow out this line of thinking? Is the permission of evil justified by the wise, universal order encompassing it?” (Page 18)
“As for spiritual and moral evil, it is one thing to say that God is capable of using it for good once it has already established itself,88 and another to conclude from this that God permitted it with this good in mind.” (Page 18)
“They rest on a pagan idea of ‘nothingness’ (both real and effective) and on an equivocal notion of possibility” (Page 101)
