The 信仰 of the Outsider: Exclusion and Inclusion in the Biblical Story

文,2005

"If someone were going to invent a story designed to make a people look good and therefore deserving of divine election, the result would never have been the Old Testament depiction of Israel... Just as Israel did not deserve to be divinely elected, the world did not deserve to receive the benefits of God’s grace either; but in both cases God’s limitless and amazing grace was operative." (7-8)

Why I Taught at SPU

弗兰克脊柱, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament

“I taught at SPU because I love the life of the mind, intellectual stimulation, bracing academic arguments, the search for truth, the importance of logic and rationality, dealing with life’s most significant questions, the interchange with young minds, and the opportunity to teach Christian Scripture and foster theological deliberation.”
