A relational model of Christ's impeccability and temptationMcKinley, John Elton 14 November 2005 (has links)
This dissertation explores the biblical and theological evidence for Christ's impeccability and temptation with the goal of formulating a contemporary model. Three specific problems of affirming both Christ's impeccability and temptation are (1) how Christ could be temptable despite his impeccability, (2) how Christ could experience temptation in a way that makes him empathetic for others, and (3) how Christ could resist temptation in a way that others can follow his example? The proposal of a relational model seeks to avoid the problems and maximize the advances of earlier theology by centering the relevant evidence around the concept of relationality.
The proposed relational model incorporates the biblical and theological evidence. Historical theology unveils four models of Christ's impeccability and temptation in the patristic period, and three models specific to the medieval, Reformation, and modern periods. Biblical theology yields several conclusions for testing the historical models and constructing a contemporary model.
The basic claim of the proposed relational model is that Christ was impeccable, but that he actually resisted temptation by means of the empowering grace. God provides empowering grace for all believers to resist temptation; thus, believers can copy Jesus' pattern of resisting temptation to sin. A prominent role of the Holy Spirit in the earthly life of Jesus is emphasized, following the recognition of this role in patristic and contemporary theology. Special attention to the relationality of temptation is included. / This item is only available to students and faculty of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Christo-centric reconciliation : being a dissertation considering reconciliation with particular reference to; the baptism of Jesus, the temptations of Jesus, the title of Son of Man as used by Jesus, and the Pauline texts which refer to reconciliationJeannot, Hugues Donald January 1973 (has links)
[From Introduction]. "God, ... through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation." "Among all churches throughout the world there is a growing conviction that God's great reconciliation in Jesus Christ is still the answer desperately needed by modern man." The United Presbyterian Church U.S.A.'s Confession of 1967 made "reconciliation the all-embracing category for describing God's work and man's response, including especially his response in social and political action".

Previous issue date: 2017-12-20 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The present work aims to understand the intertextuality present in the Lucan account concerning the temptations of Jesus in the desert. In addition, to emphasize the importance of reading the Scriptures in canonical form, without reductionism or fundamentalisms, vices of understanding that generate errors and even conflicts between people very influenced by extremist ideologies, therefore, closed in their understandings referring to the complex and difficult realities of the current time.
An appreciation for the tradition of the Scriptures is advocated, so that a correct understanding of the biblical text can be reached, avoiding, as it were, any effort to "twist" the Word of God, in order to make it say what, perhaps, never meant to say. By interpreting exegetically the teachings transmitted according to the Tradition of the inspired text, a new consciousness can be reached and it will allow an effective behavior in the fight against all that can represent evil and injustice / O presente trabalho visa entender a intertextualidade presente no relato lucano referente às tentações de Jesus no deserto. Além disso, ressaltar a importância de ler as Escrituras de forma canônica, sem reducionismo ou fundamentalismos, vícios de compreensão que geram erros e até mesmo conflitos entre pessoas muito influenciadas por ideologias extremistas e, por isso, fechadas em suas compreensões referentes às realidades complexas e difíceis do tempo atual.
Defende-se um apreço pela tradição das Escrituras, para que assim se chegue a uma reta compreensão do texto bíblico, evitando, por assim dizer, todo e qualquer esforço em “torcer” a Palavra de Deus, visando fazer com que esta diga o que, talvez, nunca se pretendeu dizer. Ao interpretar exegeticamente os ensinamentos transmitidos segundo a Tradição do texto inspirado, pode-se alcançar uma consciência nova e que permitirá um comportamento eficaz na luta contra tudo aquilo que possa representar o mal e a injustiça
