Quiz on Friday February 20th, 2009
I have received a number of anxious emails about the quiz coming up this Friday, so I thought that I would give a little guidance via the class blog. If you don't get this until too late, I do apologize.
First, the quiz starts right at 10AM, so please be on time. We will grade the quiz in class, so no late test takers.
Next. Where to find definitions? I would suggest going to the reference section of the library to look at the Pocket Dictionary of Theological Terms by Stan Grenz and friends. It is a good source for the majority of terms on the Vocab List.
Where to find the other terms? There are two different power point presentations from the first weekend of the class. Here is the first one. Here is the second one. Hopefully that will cover most of the Vocab. You can always check on-line dictionaries as well.
The quiz on Friday is multiple choice, so don't panic. It is just meant to help you learn the Vocab for the class. If you don't know your vocab, you can't follow a discussion on theology!
(What is pneuma anyway? Isn't that a kind of drill?)

Putting it together... with Pithy Statements...
OK, some of these descriptors are more 'pithy' than others, but it should at least help you to sort through who they are and what they think. Well, kinda. (That is my disclaimer!)
Peace,
Chelle
1. Augustine: The Spirit is the bond of Love between the Father and the Son.
2. Irenaeus: The Son and the Spirit are the two hands of God.
3. St. Basil: The Spirit is the perfecting cause.
4. Wolfhart Pannenberg: The Spirit is a force field. (NOT like on Star Trek!)
5. Jurgen Moltmann: "wherever there is a passion for life, there the Spirit of God is operating" (Karkkainen, Pneumatology, 126)
6. Karl Barth: the Spirit is always in relation to Christ, mediating Christ (the Word of Christ) to people's hearts OR the dude I wish had a more robust pneumatology...
7. Clark Pinnock: The Flame of Love OR The sex dude... (the definition from the group!)
8. John Zizioulas: Eastern Orthodox. The Trinity as an Ontology of Communion. The Spirit and the Son work in parallel: "The work of the Spirit is not the subordinate to the work of the Son, nor is Pentecost a continuation of the incarnation but rather its sequel, its result." (Karkkainen, Pneumatology, 109)
9. Mary Daly: Radical, separaratist, feminist; post-Christian. (Where is that ax aimed?)
10. Rosemary Radford Ruether: Sexism and God-Talk (throw in a little Feminist gnosticism and you got it.)
11. Karl Rahner: The Spirit has a universal orientation. He talks about 'anonymous Christians', as people who are Christians but just don't know it yet. In other words, the Spirit is at work in them.
12. Robert Jenson: Lutheran theologian who believes that the Spirit is moving Christianity back to being one Holy catholic/Catholic Church.
13. Stan Grenz: We are made in the image of God, therefore we have been created for community. The Spirit constitutes and dwells in the Community of God.
14. Elizabeth Schussler-Fiorenza: Feminist theologian/biblical scholar who rigorously and passionately argues for the recognition of women in the establishing and forming of the Christian tradition.
15. Mark I. Wallace: Green or Ecological Pneumatology.

Chelle
