	Franz Liszt and the Sacramental Bridge
		Articulated most powerfully by eastern theologians during the iconoclastic controversies of the seventh and eighth centuries, the icon was seen as an artistic vehicle both protecting the physical reality of Christ's incarnation and communicating that incarnation to the people of God.
		Walker writes: “Art for Lamennais was God made manifest; it ennobled the human race; insofar as the artist was a bearer of the beautiful, he was like a priest ministering to his congregation.”
		Alan Walker comments on Liszt's belief in the healing power of music: “Music, for Liszt, was the voice of God.

	Christianity and Evolutionary Ethics
		In a world in which dualistic beliefs were common, as they were throughout the early Christian era, theologians construed the Fall as the event that enabled the devil to enslave humanity, and they asserted that humanity has to be purchased from its bondage.
		First, early Christian theologians were aware that a message packaged for Jewish audiences would not convince Greeks because of cultural differences.
		The appeal of humanists such as John Stuart Mill ([1863] 1987), Alan Gewirth (1978), and John Rawls (1971), who argue for a version of universal morality from diverse premises, suggests that the strong interpretation of the Love Command is an extension of human moral equipment.

	TO BE FRANK - Baptist World Alliance Heritage & Identity Commission Seoul 2004 F W Boreham Geoff Pound
		The theologian becomes an audience to the public domain because the public sphere is a vital source for the subjects and questions with which the public theologian must reflect.
		If the theologian is to be open to the many ways that the public sphere might source, shape and inspire a theology, it will require that the theologian develop the ability to listen and interpret the context of both time and place.
		If a theologian is respectful of the public audience it will mean that the needs and desires of the public are considered when determining the most effective way that theology might be communicated.

		In technical terms, books like Andrew Walker's Restoring the Kingdom, or Pete Ward's Liquid Church, are not theology, but sociology (although they both engage with some key theological areas).
		the minister is the theologian and the congregation are just empty vessels waiting to be filled; it is similar to feeding a baby.
		This is where I believe we need what Maggi refers to as "specialist" theologians within a congregation, BUT importantly also we need a broad congregational willingness to themselves become learners and generalists; to become a learning community that mixes specialist theological input and orthopraxy.

	Excerpt: The Prophet Puzzle
		Alan Taylor examines the "supernatural economy" that provided context for Joseph Smith's interest in magic.
		Jan Shipps's important contribution includes the admonition that "the mystery of Mormonism cannot be solved until we solve the mystery of Joseph Smith." She and Dan Vogel, who writes over two decades later in response, take up Smith's guessing game—his own cultivation of the prophet/fraud dichotomy.
		Steven C. Walker and Richard S. Van Wagoner focus on the translation of the Book of Mormon, a process that Richard L. Bushman examines in terms of Smith's sense of personal identity.

	READING WESLEY AS A THEOLOGIAN
		The reason for this importance is that early Greek-writing theologians tended toward a different understanding of the relation of creation, sin, and salvation than that which became dominant in the Western churches.
		Approaching this issue historically, Wesley himself was forced to respond to accusations that there were inconsistencies among his various published thoughts from nearly the beginning of his revival movement.35 He typically rejected such charges, often arguing that the supposed inconsistencies reflected simply the accuser’s failure to recognize variations in the audiences being addressed.
		Likewise, the defining task of “real” theologians was neither developing an elaborate System of Christian truth-claims nor defending these claims to their “cultured despisers;” it was nurturing and shaping the worldview that frames the temperament and practice of believers’ lives in the world.

		Lightfoot and Walker also expressed even more specific views on the days of creation; they wrote that creation must have occurred on the equinox, but Lightfoot claimed on the autumnal equinox, while Walker said on the vernal equinox.
		Fourth, the issue of the length of the creation days was apparently not taken up in any ecclesiastical council and never became a part of any of the early ecumenical creedal statements.
		The Dutch theologian Hermann Venema (1697-1787) opposed the view "that Moses speaks not of ordinary days but of years and of centuries," showing that such a view was held by some in his circles in the 18th century.

		For example, history, ethics, and theology will be introduced to students in a single team-planned and team-taught course-a course that will run the entire first year of the MDiv program.
		The rationale for this integrative approach is simple: these subjects were integrated in the actual development of the church and are applied in ministry today in an integrated manner; the pastor is not an ethicist here, a theologian there, and a historian somewhere else.
		These are upper level courses in biblical studies, theology, history, ethics, religion and society, the arts, ministerial practices, or spirituality that continue work done in required foundational courses.

	Understanding the Kingdom of God
		This mood has had its effect in theology, and while few theologians go so far as to accept the death-of-God position, there is a movement away from a transcendent God of kingly power to an immanent spirit or process moving in man and the natural world.
		In particular, the process theology, which conceives of God as working in tenderness and love to overcome the recalcitrant elements of evil and advance the world process by a continuous creation, is consistent with basic notes in Christian faith.
		Stated by Dr. Alan Walker of Sydney, Australia in an address at the School of Theology at Claremont, Nov. 5, 1973.
