The recapitulation theme, which focuses on Jesus as the obedient Second Adam, provides insight into many theological topics. When examined in relation to the atonement though, it is regularly deemed insufficient to construct a fully developed model because it emphasises Jesus’s obedient Incarnation and life, which seemingly makes his death insignificant. Consequently, recapitulation concepts are often combined with other atonement theories to gain validity. In contrast, this article argues recapitulation theology can create a fully-fledged atonement model that makes Jesus’s death on the cross essential because his willing obedience towards God is only complete when he endures unto death. Furthermore, the cross signals total rejection of the innocent Jesus, which makes his crucifixion the climax of the biblical pattern where God’s obedient messengers are rejected.

Theological analysis of the most popular worship song lyrics reflects that American Christians may be singing the American work ethic to the God who rested. Employing Brueggeman’s Sabbath as Resistance and Heschel’s The Sabbath alongside current discussions in evangelical liturgical studies, this article seeks to answer the following: 1) do the current most utilized congregational songs in America reveal a God who rests, and 2) what lyrical or musical possibilities exist to embody a theology of Sabbath rest. This analysis highlights liturgical and theological dissonance, while exploring musical and lyrical models that display a God who rests in an overworked culture.
对最流行的敬拜歌曲歌词进行的神学分析表明，美国基督徒可能正在把美国式的工作伦理唱给安息的上帝。本文运用布吕格曼的《安息日是阻力》（Sabbath as Resistance）和赫舍尔的《安息日》（The Sabbath）以及当前福音派礼仪研究中的讨论，试图回答以下问题：1）目前美国使用最多的会众歌曲是否揭示了安息的上帝；2）存在哪些歌词或音乐来体现安息日安息神学的可能性。这一分析强调了礼仪和神学的不和谐，同时探讨了在过度劳累的文化中展示安息之神的音乐和抒情模式。

The first two decades of the twenty-first century have manifested a large-scale revival of interest in John Calvin, Reformed Theology and popular forms of Calvinism. Journalists have scrambled to grasp the parentage of a movement which had so long been out of the public view. Sympathetic Christian writers have developed a range of hypotheses about the roots of this resurgence, with most concentrating on developments unfolding since the mid-twentieth century. This essay maintains that the actual roots of the contemporary Calvinist resurgence lie in the period following the Great War (1914–1918), when three distinguishable streams of Protestant thought found common ground and for a period of at least a quarter-century collaborated to draw attention to the resources offered in the broadly Reformed theological tradition.

From the structure of the book to its enigmatic law codes, Leviticus poses a number of interpretive questions for readers. This article aims to tackle a variety of these questions raised by the blasphemer narrative. I will consider especially the relationship between the nature of the crime committed and the legal decision that follows. I further intend to show how the internal concerns of this pericope cohere with the concerns of the H redactor and the passage’s immediate context between chapters 23 and 25. While no doubt a difficult task, coming to an understanding of the blasphemer narrative is vital for grasping the structure and argument of Leviticus. Furthermore, this narrative raises obvious questions concerning the justice of God. Does the punishment of the blasphemer fit the crime? Does this sentencing fit with general notions of justice in the ancient world, or even with the God of Israel’s own legal standards?

This article highlights the significance of social memory in Christian missions. Memory is a crucial phenomenon that shapes how individuals perceive reality and make decisions. Social memory, in particular, can aid anthropological researchers and Christian missionaries in engaging with people groups. The article summarizes the history of social memory studies and explores the effects of social trauma on group memory. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of a target people’s past for the success of the Christian mission. By examining a social group’s history, missionaries can gain insights into how the group is likely to respond to the Gospel message and how they are likely to interpret and apply it in their lives. Overall, comprehending the context is essential for the success of the Christian mission.
