As the next US presidential election approaches, immigration once again emerges as one of the most heated issues in US political debates. While ideological differences over immigration are not new, the existence of such differing positions between and within parties highlights the deep-seated divisions within US society. Even more problematic is the current predominant narrative of immigration, which tends to foster further division while ignoring the diversity of immigration patterns and immigrants’ experiences that require holistic approaches. The dominance of a monolithic interpretation of immigration, focusing on a specific pattern and accompanied by the reproduction of provocative images and rhetoric in the media, exacerbates societal divisions and reinforces a single narrative of immigration characterized by hate and fear. In the face of societal division over immigration, this article argues that immigration can be a source of reconciliation rather than division when its inherent diversity is recognized, and its humanness is reclaimed through the concept of imago Dei, the primary definition of all human identity.

Gerald Keown taught Hebrew Scriptures as living documents, relevant to our lives and applicable to our issues. Issues of social justice, about which Dr. Keown wrote and spoke publicly, should be addressed using the principles available in scripture. In Numbers 22, the figure of Balaam and his beating of the donkey teaches that Christians should be ready to hear truth from those who have been oppressed and to engage that truth to be aware of white privilege and to participate in acts of reparation.

Violence takes many forms in the book of Psalms: descriptions of violence against the psalm singer(s), violence inflicted by the wicked upon others, violence enacted by God against the psalm singer(s), and violence enacted by God against the enemies of the psalm singer(s). This study mainly examines the first two categories: human on human violence. Focusing on Psalms 55, 139, and 109, the work explores three types of human on human violence (direct or immediate violence, textual or symbolic violence, and structural and cultural violence), including interpretations from feminist scholars and voices from South Africa. The concluding discussion attempts to answer questions of how people might understand these psalms and incorporate them into their own language of freedom and faith.

The article chronicles the 45 years of connection between the author and Gerald Keown. The connection was four-fold: beginning as PhD students together at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS), followed by 14 years as colleagues on the faculty of SBTS, then working as colleagues in archeological excavation in Jordan, and finally (and the longest) as colleagues on the editorial board of Review & Expositor.

The work of family members raises important questions about the prophetic task, who might participate in it, and who might receive the designation “prophet.” This article explores questions regarding this designation. Is a prophet only the one who has initial, knowing access to divine knowledge and who receives and distributes it, or can a person who enables the transmission of divine knowledge through their identity, being, or body also be a prophet? Can a group, such as a family, function together to fulfill the role of prophet?

What happens when the fundamental “baptist”1 interpretation of freedom, once thought to be a radical notion, becomes largely mainstreamed and included in the constitutions of most Western democracies? What happens when, in relation to the church and the state, free-church baptist polity largely dictates the worldview of most, if not all, other Christian traditions, even if it has not yet influenced the very doctrinal and theological structures of those mainstream denominations? What happens when the four “fragile freedoms” of baptist life (soul freedom, Bible freedom, church freedom and religious freedom) are undermined by fellow-baptists and others who decry such freedom as too radical, “a figment of some infidel’s imagination,” or an ungodly paean to a “woke” culture gone mad? This article addresses those questions in the context of two “emancipation proclamations” in Scripture, that of the prophet Jeremiah (34:8-9) to King Zedekiah and of Apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians (5:1,13-16a). Still other historical moments of the “baptist” faith-heritage underscore such biblical liberties further undoing any notion that being “woke” in the current cultural and political setting is a new concept at all. Indeed, it is this very old, already “woke,” biblical “baptist” worldview that holds out the greatest promise for Christian witness in the twenty-first century and beyond.

This biography of Gerald Keown explores events in his professional and personal life, as well as their frequent particularly Baptist context. Those who knew Gerald Keown recognized the many qualities that made him so impressive: his personal charisma, his thirst for knowledge, his scientific training, his joie de vivre, his commitment to bettering his craft, his Baptist identity, his commitment to historic Baptist principles, such as freedom of conscience and the separation of church and state, and his deep abiding commitment to serving the church local and universal, even after some of the leaders of his own denomination sought to do him harm.
