The fifth Global Theology Conference took place in Pilar, Argentina at the Theological Seminary of the Southern Cone earlier this month. Professors, pastors, and leaders from around the world attended three plenary sessions under the theme, the Holy Spirit. Representatives from each region presented papers on the Holy Spirit, Holy People, and the Hope of New Creation.

The conference was sponsored by the Board of General Superintendents, hosted by the church's International Board of Education, and co-convened by Education Commissioner Klaus Arnold and Nazarene Theological Seminary President Jeren Rowell. The event highlighted the global connectedness of the Church of the Nazarene, the international diversity of denominational leaders and scholars, as well as the depth of theological insight represented from Nazarene institutions and churches around the world.

Previous global conferences were held in the United States (2018), South Africa (2014), the Netherlands (2007), and Guatemala (2002).

Holiness Today had the privilege of attending this conference and will release audio recordings of these sessions, interviews with attendees, and sermons from the conference on our podcast channel throughout the next few weeks.

These sessions will be made available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French in the near future.

Throughout April, Nazarenes will be blessing their communities through various acts of service in the states of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Nate Gilmore from Holiness Today had the opportunity to discuss this service project with the North Central Ohio District Superintendent, Wendell Brown.

T. A. Noble considers the role given to Scripture in the New Testament church, in the patristic era, at the Reformation, during the Enlightenment, and in the nineteenth century. That will bring us to consider the Reformation/Evangelical view today, including the questions raised by historians, scientists, and by hermeneutics. The Wesleyan position will then be explored more specifically, including what has been called ‘the Wesleyan Quadrilateral’ and how that should be properly understood.

00:00 Intro

00:36 A Wesleyan Understanding of the Authority of Scripture Part 2

22:41 If Jesus is the self revelation of God, is it problematic to say that the Bible is the self revelation of God so that scripture becomes a quasi-fourth person of the Trinity? 

24:28 If the Nazarene view can be thought of as Soteriological inerrancy, does that not lead to picking and choosing what passages are really connected to salvation issues; thus picking what passages are authoritative for us, and what passages we can dismiss?

27:21 When we interpret scripture, how do we know when our interpretation is going off base? How do we test our interpretation?

40:51 What are the other alternatives to the historical critical approach? How many other approaches are there?

43:32 In interpreting scripture, what part does personal experience play?

47:26 Can you highlight some things that we've adopted in our social consciousness in the church that is influenced more by Reformed theology than Wesleyan or our Nazarene roots?

50:31 Resources you might recommend for adult classroom settings and discipling people related to the authority of scripture?

51:35 Do you have any writing, projects, or work that might address these types of things?

53:11 Discipleship Place: How to Study the Bible

54:27 Do you use science to interpret scripture? What does that look like?

00:36 Introduction of T. A. Noble

01:53 A Wesleyan understanding of the authority of the Bible

27:42 Thinking about Christological hymns that we have in the New Testament, and the example being 1 Corinthians 3:16; how widely and how early were they used in the word of preaching, or were they sung as an affirmation of the Gospel in those first 20 years? 

29:31 Would it be more proper to end our prayers in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit?

51:23 You've sketched the Bible's authority in its relation to the Gospel. How does the modern view of inerrancy in scripture as God's self-revelation disconnect from the historical view?

53:10 What is to be understood by "necessary for faith" when talking about plenary inspiration of scripture?

56:03 Can you speak about whether the Apocrypha should or should not be treated as authoritative? And also speak about the same question regarding the Gnostic Gospels that are gaining a hearing today.

01:00:07 Am I understanding your starting point that the authority of the Bible is based in the authority of the Gospel as transmitted to the apostles? What implications does that have on the idea of Apostolic Succession?

01:02:39 How can the church, especially the local church, help to rebuild these theologies (natural theology, liberal theology) upon a biblical foundation? 

01:06:40 Why is the Apocrypha not in our canon of scripture, and why are they not to be used to determine doctrine? 

01:07:55 Closing

01:08:49 Outro
