		Concludes: Theology, which is now beginning to develop freely in our country again, enjoys the environment it needs to develop, as such, a theology of the church which kill be the mediator of Christ's liberation to our nations, and in this sense to be a theology of liberation.
		Theology (so they say) cannot relay to us revealed truth, for there is no such thing; it can only describe, correlate, interpret, and criticize or justify intuitions and guesses about God that are found in the churches; and it is high time that, by facing this fact realistically, we cut theology down to size.
		The aim of this chapter is to challenge the pacifist tradition with the hermeneutical contributions of liberation theology and to similarly challenge liberation theology with the hermeneutical contributions of the Anabaptist pacifist tradition.

	Baptist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baptist theology teaches that the consequence of human sin is condemnation to eternal death in hell.
		In 1616, Henry Jacob led a group of Puritans in England with a Calvinist theology to form a congregational church that would eventually become the Particular Baptists in 1638 under John Spilsbury.
		Other Baptists accept the Protestant label as a demographic concept that describes churches who share similar theologies of sola scriptura, sola fide, the priesthood of all believers and other positions that Luther, Calvin and traditional reformers held in contrast to the Roman Catholic Church in the 1500s.

		Concludes: A correct theology of liberation ought to rest on a careful study which uses the disciplines used in biblical investigation, analyzing the facts of divine revelation, that God gives us in the Bible, in its efforts to redeem man, and it ought to be based on the infallible authority of Scripture alone.
		She offers an original interpretation of the development of the theology of Gustavo Gutierrez, from a primary focus on the transformation of history through the praxis of the poor to a new 'more radical and constructive' centering on the God of faithfulness and love, who is manifested also in captivity, suffering, and exile.
		Theology is not created in an isolated sphere but emerges in the context of a concrete struggle for survival and liberation in various aspects of personal and community life.

	Anabaptist Theology
		The question which is foremost in the present endeavor of formulating this "implied" theology of the Anabaptists is whether or not Anabaptists accepted by and large the theology of the Protestant Reformers (Luther or Zwingli, hardly Calvin), adding in addition only those aspects otherwise neglected.
		The Anabaptist, however, is prepared to accept it, what was aptly called the "theology of martyrdom," meaning the expectation of the cross for the disciple -- "cross," not as a marital event, but as a sign of one's own stand, challenging the world which will always contradict the path of Christ and his disciples.
		The idea of a suffering church is not really a "theology" in the strict sense of the word, just as the idea of "discipleship" is not theology proper (though part of it).

	Sacrament Analysis @ VariedTastes.com (Varied Tastes) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Some groups, such as Anglicans and Old-Catholics, consider the two dominical sacraments of the Gospel, Baptism and the Eucharist, to be the "precepted, primary, and principal sacraments ordained for our salvation," and consider the other five sacramental rites to be "lesser sacraments" that are derivative of these two.
		Occasionally, Christians who do not believe in sacramental theology will nevertheless refer to, for example, marriage as a "sacrament" in an effort to underscore their belief in the sanctity of the institution.
		Those who do not believe in sacramental theology refer to these rites -- or, at least, those rites which they use --primarily baptism and communion, as "ordinances." The sacraments are usually administered by the clergy to a recipient or recipients, and are generally understood to involve visible and invisible components.

	Anabaptist - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The word Anabaptism may be used to describe a Protestant group baptizing Christians who were baptized in infancy and/or who come to them from other bodies, any of the 16th century "radical" dissenters, or the denominations descending from the followers of Menno Simons.
		The older view among Mennonite historians generally held that Anabaptism had its origins in Zürich, and that the Anabaptism of the Swiss Brethren was transmitted to South Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and North Germany, where it developed into its various branches.
		Ritschl discerned in it the leaven of the Fraticelli or Franciscan Tertiaries.

	Theology Today - Vol 36, No. 1 - April 1979 - ARTICLE - Communal Ecclesiology: The Power of the Anabaptist Vision
		Anabaptism." Because of our minority status and theology of martyrdom, such acceptance evokes mixed feelings of both satisfaction and suspicions about our present witness when others speak this well of us.
		Anabaptist theology, at its best, offers an ecumenical style which opposes on the one hand any easy amalgamation and acculturation of traditions lest we lose distinctive gifts, while on the other hand the centrality of the great commission calls us from isolationism to dialogue and witness.
		In recognizing that the paradigm of the early church cannot be defined legalistically and precisely without violating its pluralistic and dynamic nature, one approaches Bonhoeffer's conjoining of act and being in seeing the church as something we might have but not manipulate.

		A reconstruction of evangelical Anabaptism would start by revisiting the thesis that Anabaptism was the logical conclusion of the Protestant Reformation, or as Bender put it, "the culmination of the Reformation." A reconstructed understanding of evangelical Anabaptism would be completely at home within the basic theological categories of Protestant orthodoxy.
		It is an appropriation of an Anabaptism which has high views of the scriptures, of Christ as savior and lord, and of the conversion and regeneration of humans through Christ, and which confesses the ancient beliefs of the Christian church.
		Their adherence to basic, orthodox church theology came not by default as is sometimes implied, but by deliberate documentation in that all the basic affirmations were massively biblically based.

	The Theology of Anabaptism by Robert Friedmann Part Three
		In the light of the preceding discussion it should not, be surprising that "soteriology," traditionally the very nucleus of all theology, is not and cannot be a major theme in Anabaptist thought.
		Now it was the ministers, trained in conventional theology, who were surprised and even a bit shocked.
		It was only natural that the soteriological question should arise frequently in debates and court trials, and the brethren had to clarify their stand concerning salvation, justification, and atonement.

		And then we will trace the story of God’s revelation throughout the record of his interaction with man. After all, Anabaptism is the theology of methods and of Christocentric theology/ethics.
		It is true that most theologies emphasize one aspect or truth to the exclusion of others (is it still truth then?).
		For example, the Calvinist TULIP theology is all built on the soveriegnity of God, that is the overriding theme that it emphasizes.

	Beyond Two- versus One-Kingdom Theology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Such a theology finds eminent precedent in the core biblical affirmation that our world is the meaningful creation of a God who continues to yearn over it lovingly, and shape its course providentially, even when humanity ignores the divine call.
		Anabaptist-Mennonite two-kingdom theology, however, insisted that the fruit of the gospel must be visible in the community of disciples.
		Luther's doctrine of the invisible church, and his corresponding interior two-kingdom theology of Christian loyalty to both orders, is not the only possible way to appropriate Augustine's theology of "the two cities." Augustine borrowed this idea from Tyconius, a moderate in the "schismatic" Donatist church of North Africa whom he respected.

		The churches of the "periphery" are now seeking to establish the importance of their own context in doing theology, and are evaluating the validity of the hegemony of the theology of the " center." Liberation theology, in particular, regarded as a "neo-orthodoxy", is developing what could be called a contextualised orthodoxy.
		I also seek to reflect critically on minjung theology from a feminist perspective by sharing points of convergence and difference that I consider important in the development of both rninjung and feminist theologies.
		Thus what we have called p'ung-ryu theology is a theology which finds in Christianity the way for the realization of the cultural ideal of our people It is the way of the resurrection.

	Leaving Munster : Thomas Finger's A Contemporary Anabaptist Theology - a review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		While Finger insists that he is looking for an implicit theology from the grass-roots, he generally only deals with leaders and their written works.
		In this sense, though he is seeking to give a voice to the implicit theology of a marginalized fringe, Finger runs the risk of giving priority to the public leaders and scholars and thus perpetuating the silencing of the laity.
		Aside from the questionable approach of placing the 'implicit' theology of Anabaptism alongside the explicit Constantinian theology of the Evangelical, Protestant, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions, it is unclear why the latter groups are given prominence.

		As Anabaptism spread in Switzerland and South Germany/Austria, its audience was mostly peasant-artisan, and largely illiterate.
		James McClendon, in his "baptist" theology, defines theology as "the understanding, and transformation of the convictions of a convictional community, including the discovery and critical revision of their relation to one another and to whatever else there is."-Systematic Theology: Ethics (Nashville: Abingdon, 1986), 23 [my italics].
		I treat Hubmaier mainly as representative of Swiss Anabaptism since much of his theology was formulated in dialogue with Zwingli, usually in support of Zwingli's Anabaptist opponents, in the movement's earliest phases.

		So, I bought and read a used book on the theology of Anabaptism (for those who don’t know, Mennonites are Anabaptists), and prepared to listen when Lonnie gave his first sermon.
		And it struck me how calmly he said it, that he could never be persuaded to feel ashamed of his compliment, while I could so very easily learn to feel ashamed of mine.
		I still have the book on the theology of Anabaptism, and occasionally use it as a reference.

		Colombia is one of the most violent countries in the world, in part because it produces or funnels most of the worlds’ supply of cocaine.
		In October, Master’s level Anabaptist teaching was brought to Colombia as Mark Baker, Assistant Professor of Mission and Theology at Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary and a former missionary to Honduras, moved his classroom to Bogota for one week.
		Baker’s assignment was to teach a three-unit, graduate level version of Christian Thought (Fundamentos Teologicos,), a course that focuses on Christian theology from an Anabaptist perspective.

	Deification and a Pnematological Concept of Grace
		The Charismatic theology of Lutheranism describes charismatic experience[65] as the presence of the Triune God through his Spirit.[66] The actual purpose of the Holy Spirit's work is to create faith in Christ and lead the believer into a "living union" with Christ.
		Explicitly using Luther's language, the Charismatic theology maintains that "in the faith itself Christ is present."[69] And: "Faith describes the whole action by which the Holy Spirit brings the living, redeeming presence of Christ into a living union with a human being.
		Therefore, Wesley was less interested than Reformation theology in the permanent justification of the sinner, and more interested in the process of a moral renewal.[89] This kind of orientation does, of course, bear the marks of Eastern Orthodox spirituality.

		Liberation theology, by the way, would predict as much.
		The process we have followed matches Juan Luis Segundo's "hermeneutical circle": We have insisted on beginning with the reality of personal experience with "the people." We have applied ideological suspicion first to ideology itself, and then to theology.
		That has then led to exegetical suspicion that we may need to reread the biblical text from a new vantage point.
