Angelomorphic Christology

Antecedents and Early Evidence

By: Gieschen

This study demonstrates that angel and angel-related traditions, especially those growing from the so-called "Angel of the Lord" in the Hebrew Bible, had a significant impact on the origins and early development of Christology to the point that an Angelomorphic Christology is discernable in several first century texts. Significant effort is given to tracing the antecedents of this Christology in the angels and divine hypostases of the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple Jewish literature. The primary content of this volume is the presentation of pre-150 CE textual evidence of Angelomorphic Christology. This religio-historical study does not spawn a new Christology among the many scholarly "Christologies" already extant. Instead, it shows the interrelationship of various Christological trajectories and their adaptation from Jewish angelomorphic traditions.

An Uncommon Conversation

By: Donald W. Gieschen

SET UP: Donald W. Gieschen is the author of this piece and, with the exception of the small talk, all of what Don says in the substantive conversations in An Uncommon Conversation is autobiographically true of the author in the sense that what Don says both accurately relates events in the author’s life and honestly expresses the authors thoughts on the subjects being talked about. The lunches are fictional. Paul is a fictional character created to be part of the conversation. Don is a self-professed atheist. The fictitious friend, Paul, is slightly younger than Don, and is a believer. They were close friends in their youth, almost like brothers, and have continued their friendship at a distance over the past years with letters and occasional visits. Paul, as he is portrayed, is rather easy going. He is married with a family and is here visiting. He is alone, staying with his son and the son’s family who have just recently moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Don lives in near-by Tempe. Paul is curious and is especially interested in other people and their lives, though not in an uncomfortable nosey way, as you will see. He graduated from the University of Michigan. From there he started up and ran a successful consulting business specializing in the field of health-care. Don and Paul both served in the U. S. Navy during World War II. We encounter them conversing over lunch at a local restaurant. Don, who does most of the talking, talks about his life and a great deal about his reasons for rejecting any form of religious faith. The conversation then takes up the question of moral values and morality in what according to Don is a Godless universe. Don’s views on faith and on ethics derive from his study and teaching of philosophy, though the areas of religion and ethics were not the areas of philosophy in which he concentrated his study and research or his teaching. The conversation between these two friends, with daily breaks, spans a five-day period.

Is Evolution Compatible with Christianity?

By: Christopher Gieschen

All of these statements are false: Christians are science-deniers when it comes to evolution. Real science actually lines up more with evolution than creation as found in Genesis. Fossils are evidence for evolution. The Genesis account is fully compatible with evolution. These questions need answers! What exactly is the difference between evolution right and evolution wrong? Is it possible to bend Genesis to fit evolution? How can one defend belief in a six-day creation from the onslaughts of the evolutionists? How about any questions you have? This book is a must for any Christian about to enter a public high school or university. Accepting evolution as true is the basis for three of the ten reasons Christians give up saving faith. It is time for you to arm yourself with the truth and stand your ground logically, philosophically, scientifically, and most important biblically! Ready? Let's go!

The Law in Holy Scripture

The Law in Holy Scripture

By: Charles a. Gieschen

There is a significant amount of confusion and diverse opinion in the church and among biblical scholars concerning "the Law" in Holy Scripture. This volume consists of essays delivered during the 2001 (16th) Annual Symposium on Exegetical Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary. Biblical scholars with expertise in the Old Testament, Jesus and the Gospels, and the Pauline Epistles offer a wide and representative portrait of the Law in Holy Scripture and its ongoing significance. These essays engage and critique current problematic perspectives on the Law as well as affirm faithful teaching from the past. A concluding essay evaluates and synthesizes the common issues raised in the symposium to present a solid biblical theology of the Law for the life of the church.

Heart of a Champion

By: Alison Gieschen

Janyck, a gentle giant, was the Christmas miracle for a group of equestrian vaulters looking for the perfect horse to help them win a national title. After winning the hearts of everyone who met him, Janyck plunged through the surface of an ice-covered lake. Dozens of rescue workers could not pull his 2,000 pound ice-covered body from the icy grip of the lake. Meanwhile, a second disaster loomed on the horizon. Having profoundly touched the lives of so many people, an entire nation prayed as only a miracle could save Janyck from the clutches of impending death.
