Theological
Study
Into
His Own: A tool for the historical study of Christian scriptures. 'Since
the works in the New Testament were composed in implicit and often explicit
dialog with first century champions of Jewish tradition, the bulk of the
passages included here have been excerpted from works written by Jewish
authors, especially those composed after the Hebrew scriptures that can
be found in any Christian "Old Testament." But there are also selections
from non-Jewish sources that help bring the writings of Christian authors
into a clearer cultural perspective. The world in which Jesus lived &
out of which Christianity emerged was not simply Jewish, but rather a
complex cultural cauldron in which the ideologies, social standards &
politics of Jews and non-Jews interacted, often with explosive results'.

'How the
West Lost Mysticism: When did Western Christians stop expecting mystical
union with God through Christ?' by Frederica Matthewes-Green -- http://www.beliefnet.com/story/43/story_4340_1.html
'The Opening
of the Evangelical Mind', by Alan Wolfe, in the October 2000 issue of
The Atlantic Monthly (US). 'Of all America's religious traditions,
the author writes, evangelical Protestantism, at least in the twentieth-century
conservative forms, has long ranked "dead last in intellectual stature."
Now evangelical thinkers are trying to revitalize their tradition. Can
they turn an intellectual backwater into an intellectual beacon?' A thoughtful,
interesting article. -- http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/10/wolfe.htm
