Description / Abstract
The challenge of re-expressing our tradition calls for the most careful theological consideration. As biblical scholars and historical theologians, we must strengthen our roots so that we remain firmly grounded in Scripture and ensure that new language and thought-forms are true to what Wesley called ‘the oracles of God’. As philosophical theologians and students of contemporary cultures, we must seek new ways of conveying the unchanging message. As practical theologians, we must listen to the pragmatic and doctrinal questions of today’s generation, and speak to the questions that they are asking. And as systematic theologians we must bring all this together in faithful but creative ways into a coherent, relevant and challenging formulation of doctrine.
This is an ongoing task which will never be finished until the kingdom comes in power and glory. But we see the invitation from the Thought Partners of the Board of General Superintendents to examine the wording of Article X of our Nazarene Articles of Faith as an opportunity to re-state the doctrine of sanctification concisely in faithful and creative language that will promote clear proclamation, deeper pragmatic understanding and enthusiastic identification with the message we were raised up to preach and embody.
