Introduction

Most people have a hodge-podge of knowledge of the old testament but no coherent structure. Richter suggests there are three reasons for this:

Never been taught the OT is their story. Both story and God different to the NT and to Jesus, even unnecessary.
OT is inaccessible for historical, geographical, cultural, linguistic etc. reasons.
The 'dysfunctional closet syndrome'.

OT as your story

OT is two thirds of the Bible and redemption story but treated as 'unfortunate preface'. Yet the characters are unknown to us as close relatives may be to an Alzheimer’s sufferer.

The Medieval Church in the West

We will attempt to cover nearly 1000 years in one session - obviously we have to be selective, so we’ll look at how Christianity survived the collapse of Roman rule in the West. We’ll look at how Ireland, Scotland and England were evangelized and also how Britain went on to help re-established Christianity in Europe through the work of missionary monks. We’ll look at the fortunes of the papacy, some key figures and some important developments in theology and culture.

Reading Topic: Christian Faith: Worship, Prayer and Church Order in the Early Centuries

This reading topic gives you a chance to look at how the Early Church worked, in terms of its core activities of worship, prayer and ministry. Patterns familiar in our day were in their earliest stages of development.

Key early thinkers

The purpose of this session is to give you a taste as to how the first generation of Christian 'theologians' tackled the issues of their day, arising from the existence and mission of the Church. You will be reading these writers in other modules, but this session is to introduce them and give you an idea of their overall context and thought.

Synopses

Chadwick, The Early Church

Chapter 1 from Jerusalem to Rome

Christians were first Jews so necessary to find continuity from Old Testament and old covenant
P9, 10 Jews 'a race apart' but 'ready to dedicate synagogues "to God in honour of the emperor"'
'A million Jews in Alexandria and Egypt' → influential. Often easier to let them have their own way in matters of religion
Admired for monotheism, morality and antiquity
Septuagint (work of 70 authors) dated from Alexandria in 3rd C BC under sponsorships of Ptolemy Philadelphus

Early Heresies and Movements

This session tracks the early developments in Christian, and not-so-Christian, thought. It looks at the emergence of 'heresy', the emergence of the concept of 'Catholicity' and 'orthodoxy', and the reaction to the increasingly structured nature of the Church.

Sources

After the Apostles

The death of the apostles; an increasingly delayed parousia; a growing Church; state-sponsored persecution and the rise of convincing, but 'false' teaching — all in the midst of a world which had very different ideas to those of the Bible and a culture which was deeply suspicious of monotheism and its implied challenge to the political and social ways of doing things. This was the entry moment for Christianity onto the wider world scene.

Anxious tribalism and the loss of the metanarrative seen in Daniel Everett's mission amongst the Pirahã

This article works with the notion of 'tribal anxiety' as being a concern over the maintenance of an overarching story and a pressure that causes new identity to emerge. It considers the loss of metanarrative in both the message of the Christian gospel and in its vehicle of universal grammar. The impact of this loss is considered by considering Daniel Everett’s encounter with the Pirahã. Anxious tribalism seen in the challenged Christian constructs of Everett is discussed in relation to the larger tribe (the missional perspectives of Everett). The apparent lack of anxious tribalism is discussed in terms of the unchallenged constructs of the smaller tribe (the Pirahã). The linguistic and theological issues arising for missiology are discussed.
