The Austerity Gospel of Gordon Fee

by

in Price, Robert M., Volume XVIII – (2017)

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 18, 2017 – Pages 171-190 I am a grateful student of Gordon Fee, having studied with him from 1974 through 1978.[1] He is a fine biblical scholar and a keen and powerful preacher. Theologically, he calls himself a “Presbycostal,” because, though committed to his home denomination of the Assemblies of…

A Unificationist Gospel

by

in Biblical Studies, Price, Robert M., Volume VII – (2006)

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 7, 2006 – Pages 129-199 I have for a very long time thought it might be helpful to have a direct, narrative version of the gospel events informed by the biblical theology of the Reverend Sung Myung Moon. In many of his speeches, key passages of which are compiled in…
The Marginality of the Cross

by

in Biblical Studies, Price, Robert M., Volume VI – (2004-2005)

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 6, 2004-2005 – Pages 23-38 Has the significance of the cross in the New Testament has been overrated? Can it be that, at least in significant portions of the New Testament, we have become used to reading familiar texts through the even more familiar lens of Western atonement theologies? It…
Was Jesus the Son of the Priest Zacharias?

by

in Biblical Studies, Price, Robert M., Volume V – (2003)

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 5, 2003 – Pages 1-16 Let no one think it a cliché when teachers say they are often the learners in the process of classroom discovery. I had the rare privilege of substituting for a friend on the faculty of the Unification Theological Seminary a few years ago when he…
Dynamics of Messianism

by

in Price, Robert M., Sociological Studies, Volume III – (1999-2000)

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 3, 1999-2000 – Pages 27-40 I am currently working on a comparative paradigm for messianism, a conceptual scheme drawn from the study of various messianic movements throughout world history. Such a typology may help us understand new messianic movements as they arise. What is a messiah? What is the difference…

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 2, 1998 – Pages 149-152 These essays allow the reader to participate at arm’s length in an Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace conference (August 20-27, 1995) on the theme “Realizing the Ideal.” The essays, despite their common denominator, fall into five rather different categories. The result is almost five different…
Amorous Archons in Eden and Corinth

by

in Biblical Studies, Volume II – (1998)

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 2, 1998 – Pages 19-34 A preoccupation with the textual minutiae of Scripture may stem from either a strict belief in verbal inspiration or simply the scholarly love of trivia, but in any case few Bible students can resist a good exegetical puzzle. One of the most intriguing of such…
Contextualization as Incarnation

by

in Price, Robert M., Sociological Studies, Volume I – (1997)

Journal of Unification Studies Vol. 1, 1997 – Pages 43-54 I have long been fascinated with missiological and theological debates over “contextualization” or “indigenization” because they seemed especially likely to illuminate the long-obscure “black box” of Christian origins. When theologians hold out for the right of Third World Christians to articulate their faith in their…
