Illuminating John’s gospel

Published on 4th March 2010

We warmly congratulate Paul Coxon , a WEST research student from Crewe, Cheshire.  On Wednesday 3 March he successfully defended his PhD thesis at a viva held at the University of Wales, Lampeter and was awarded his doctorate.  The title of his research was “Paschal New Exodus Motif in John 5 - 10”.  A few months ago Rev Kyung-U Ra was awarded a PhD for his similar work on chapters 1 - 4 of the same book.  There are other WEST researchers working on the remaining chapters of the Gospel, and all under the supervision of WEST’s New Testament specialist, Dr Tom Holland.

So what is the sigificance of this substantial Johannine project?  It shows clearly the Old Testament antecedents of John’s gospel.  The Exodus was the great salvic event of the Old Testament and the Passover was its climax.  The New Exodus was God’s deliverance from Babylonian exile.  In the New Testament, including John’s Gospel, we see the unfolding drama of Christ’s incarnation, his sacrificial death, resurrection, ascension and reign, described by its Jewish writers in New Exodus language.  Jesus is the long awaited Davidic king, God’s first born who at the very time of Passover delivers his people by his sacrificial death on the cross from the tyranny of Satan and God’s wrath towards sin, brings them into his kingdom and constructs his temple - people from every nation, language and ethnic group on earth.  This research series is path-breaking.  It establishes the unity of the Bible, the great theme of God’s salvation and the centrality of Christ. 


Registry marriages

Published on 17th February 2010

Both WEST academic registrars are engaged to be married.  Anwen Lewis, who is the registrar responsible for post-graduate students, is to marry Alun Davies on Saturday 17 April in Pontyclun near where they will live.  Louise-Joy Souillot, who is the registrar responsible for undergraduate students, is to marry Jim Day, a final year WEST student.  The wedding is planned for the autumn in South Wales.  Louise-Joy will then join Jim in Ingleton, North Yorkshire where he is to pastor from September. Of course, both weddings will be in church!  We pray the Lord’s rich blessing on both couples.


ETCW / WEST reunion

Published on 12th February 2010

On a bright, crisp Saturday in January, 34 people gathered at WEST to celebrate a common experience, that of being a former student or staff member at Bryntiron or partner of those who were.  The event provided the opportunity not only to meet people from a different student era, but reunited those who hadn’t met since graduation day. 

Whilst regrets at not being able to attend came in literally from around the world, folk who did attend travelled from as far as London, Sheffield and Scotland, with guests ranging from those who were at college in recent years to those who studied as far back as 1993. 

The time at the college with refreshments and activities rekindled old memories and presented the chance to re-explore the premises.  On display were photos of past students, information on what old friends are doing now and comical anecdotes from college life.  Following the afternoon at college, the group moved to a local venue for an informal evening meal together. 

The looks of pleasant surprise as faces from bygone years appeared throughout the afternoon were enough to know it was an experience worth repeating.

Report on Dick Gaffin’s visit

Published on 11th December 2009

A Day with Dick Gaffin
It is always a delight for a theological college to welcome a renowned, experienced scholar to share their knowledge and wisdom concerning a particular subject of great importance to the church. Should that delight bring with it a whole day of cancelled lectures then it is easy to imagine the anticipation surrounding such an event, particularly for those students who would normally have Greek first thing on a Friday! Such was the case on 6 November 2009 as students and staff at WEST, along with local church leaders, gathered to hear Dr Richard B Gaffin, Jr, the distinguished Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology Emeritus at Westminster Theological Seminary.

The theme for the day was Biblical Theology, the discipline of tracing the unfolding story of redemption through the whole Bible. In three clear and well-informed sessions, Dr. Gaffin directed our thoughts with great precision to the relationship between “Biblical” and “Systematic” Theology and also to the role that Biblical Theology plays in our interpretation of the New Testament in the light of the Old, focusing in particular on the themes of understanding Christ from the Old Testament and the resurrection in the theology of Paul. 
 
Biblical Theology and Systematic Theology
The day began with Dr. Gaffin proposing the thesis that Biblical Theology is the indispensible servant of Systematic Theology. This proposal was based on detailed discussion on the interplay between the two disciplines. Our hearts and minds were drawn to the wonder of the nature of God’s self-revelation as we considered the redemptive-historical nature of this revelation: God’s speech unfolding alongside his actions.

The nature and the methods of Systematic Theology were examined, bearing in mind that the context of any systematic theological expression is always a redemptive-historical one. Systematic Theologies must always be non-speculative and tightly exegetical. Dr. Gaffin drew on John Murray’s comment that “Biblical Theology prevents Systematic Theology from a tendency to abstraction,” especially from its historical context. Hence Biblical Theology is the indispensible servant in the theologizing process. If Biblical Theology is the epic drama of God’s redemption, then Systematic Theology is the plot analysis.
 
Biblical Theology and Hermeneutics
The middle part of the day was centered upon Luke 24:44-49, the famous conversation between the risen Christ and the disciples on the road to Emmaus. The question of how exactly the Old Testament reveals Christ was explored, focusing on the ways in which the Old Testament speaks of the fact that, “…the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:46-47)

This triad of death, resurrection and church (worldwide gospel preaching) was shown to be the centre that unifies the Lord’s teaching from the Old Testament concerning himself. This is taken up by the apostles’ preaching in the book of Acts with their focus on the death and the resurrection of Jesus and their call to repentance and faith in him.
With regards to the Old Testament revealing Christ, Dr. Gaffin highlighted the importance of asserting that the Old Testament scriptures are definitely about Christ. The Law, the Prophets and the Psalms all speak of him. In answering the question, “Is Christ in every sentence of the Old Testament?” we were encouraged to distinguish between a reductionist, atomistic answer and a redemptive-historical one. It is true that Christ may not be revealed clearly in every sentence of the Old Testament, but every sentence is part of a wider redemptive-historical context, with all its twists and turns, that does indeed clearly point to Christ and to salvation in his name. 
   
Biblical Theology and the Resurrection
To round off the day we were treated to some reflection on the resurrection in the theology of Paul, a theme that Dr. Gaffin has done a great deal of work to both explain and create awareness of through his seminal work “Resurrection and Redemption: A Study in Paul’s Soteriology” (P&R, 1987).

Topics that were covered included the unity between the resurrection of Christ and the resurrection of believers, and also the believer’s resurrection as a present reality. Themes from the New Testament that have their origin in the Old were highlighted to support these vital areas of understanding such as Christ being the “first fruits” of a larger resurrection harvest (1 Cor 15:20) and Christ as the “firstborn” from among the dead (Col 1:18). It was refreshing and encouraging to be reminded of our union with Christ in his resurrection, not to mention his death, and how central this union is to our salvation.

Throughout the day Dr. Gaffin spoke with great clarity and exactness and answered questions thoroughly and charitably. It is rare to find a scholar who attempts to combine the disciplines of Biblical and Systematic Theology in their work, let alone one who does so with such clarity and usefulness. It was a joy for those who attended to benefit from such a man in the brief time that we shared together.

Bernard Lewis

Published on 9th December 2009

Bernard Lewis is both a former master’s level WEST student and currently lectures here in Pastoral Theology and supervises student placements.  He and is wife, Linda, were UFM missionaries in Papua New Guinea for many years and a pastor before that.  Bernard has recently accepted a call from Emmanuel Evangelical Church, Newport to be their pastor in succession to Rev Graham Harrison who is retiring at the end of January 2010 after 47 years at the church.  Bernard will be inducted on Saturday, 27 February and will take up his ministry from Sunday, 28 February.  Please pray for Bernard and Linda in this new phase of their ministry and as they relocate from Bridgend to Newport.  WEST are glad to learn that Bernard will continue to come to us to lecture part-time.


“The Westminster Assembly” by Dr Bob Letham (WEST)

Published on 4th December 2009

“The Westminster Assembly: reading its theology in historical context” by Dr Bob Letham (P &R 2009)

“Typical of Letham’s writings, The Westminster Assembly is comprehensive. . . appeal(s) to theological professors as an ideal seminary text, to ministers as a handy guide for preaching and teaching and to lay people as a tool to become historically and theologically informed.” - Joel R. Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

“For those who revere the work of the Westminster Assembly, Prof. Letham’s comprehensive study is a blessed gift. Making judicious use of primary sources recently made available, and avoiding anachronistic and misleading attempts to make the Assembly’s work more “relevant” to our times, the author has positioned that work firmly and clearly in its own time, with the paradoxical result that the Assembly’s debates and decisions come to life again and speak powerfully to us today. When you next study or teach the theology of the Westminster Assembly, this will be the first book you will turn to.”
- Robert B. Strimple, President Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology, Westminster Seminary California

Gerald Bray writes:
“Letham has put us all in his debt by giving us a solid and thorough introduction to the Westminster Assembly that brings its debates to life and shows why the confession and catechisms it produced have become the touchstone of Reformed theology in the English-speaking world.”
- Gerald Bray, Beeson Divinity School

PhD success

Published on 24th September 2009

Rev Won Sang Lee, Washington DC, has just been awarded the degree of PhD by the University of Wales in the field of pastoral theology for his research . His chosen subject was:
A critical exploration and conversation across the centuries of pastoral leadership principles in John Chrysostom’s Antioch and Constantinople and Won Sang Lee’s Washington’s Korean Central Presbyterian Church.
This research interacts with a number of leading pastoral theologians and Patristic scholars. In the dissertation, Rev Lee aims initially to describe and then reflect on his own church ministry in the Korean Central Presbyterian Church( KCPC) in Vienna, Virginia near Washington DC over a period of 27 years.  His case study aims to identify and discuss four critical key principles of pastoral leadership which he developed during this ministry.
The case study is then followed up with reference to other possible models, especially the model adopted by the Emerging Churches. The latter attempts to remove any trace of a hierarchical approach to pastoral leadership and encourages maximum expressions of democracy and participation in church government. Even here, Rev Lee suggested that his four pastoral leadership principles have relevance to such churches.
He then enters into critical conversation with John Chrysostom (347-407A.D) who excercised significant and powerful ministries in both Antioch and Constantinople. Acknowledging the ‘gaps’ between his own and Chrysostom’s pastoral situations, he argues for genuine similarities which make the comparison and conversation meaningful. After providing an outline of Chrysostom’s life and work, Rev Lee majored on his early document “On the Priesthood” and also a sample of his New testament homilies in order to identify and discuss his pastoral leadership principles. He submits that there is substantial agreement between their pastoral leadership principles.
The dissertation closes with an extended critical comparison of these principles and ways in which these are relevant for Church leaders today.
The supervisor was Dr Eryl Davies (WEST), the internal examiner Andreas Andreopouos (University of Wales, Lampeter) and the external examiner was Dr David Bernard McLoughlin of Newman University College, Birmingham.

7th PhD success in 2008-09

Published on 26th May 2009

The Rev Shin Chul Lee has just been awarded the degree of Ph.D by the University of Wales. His research area in WEST related to Presbyterian Church Planting in Korea and was an historical and theological study with major implications for ecclesiology and missiology. We warmly congratulate him on this success. His main supervisor was Dr Eryl Davies (WEST) and supported as second supervisor by Professor D.P.Davies, Lampeter.
The contemporary situation concerning church planting in Korea is chaotic and usually undertaken by individuals rather than by churches. The result is unhealthy competition but sadly too the closure of a significant number of these church plants and also the considerable burden placed on individuals, often resulting in ill-health, financial difficulties and disillusionment. In this situation, the Rev Lee called on the Presbyterian denomination to undertake church planting in a more biblical and distinctively Presbyterian manner.
After a thorough study of Korean Presbyterian Church history over the past 120 years, he established that there had not been any distinctive Presbyterian model for church planting at all but that the Nevius Methods and, much later, Church Growth teaching had dominated approaches to church planting, even on the part of Presbyterian denominations. Further, there was no literature that described such an approach.
Turning to key Presbyterian documents and literature in the UK and America, Rev Lee established again that there was no such Presbyterian model available. Using Presbyterian Church principles and seeking to be as biblical as possible, he identified major principles by which to construct his own model for Presbyterian church planting in Korea.
The external examiner for the University of Wales was Professor John McIntosh (Edinburgh) and Dr Robert Letham (WEST). The examiners were extremely satisfied with this research and acknowledged its originality and that it represented a major contribution to Presbyterianism, especially in Korea but with relevance for Presbyterian denominations in the West also.
The Rev Lee teaches missiology in the Kosin Presbyterian denominational Seminary.

Other recent successful candidates are:

The Rev Paul G.Held, Los Angeles, who has served with East Europeans for over twenty five years. His main responsibility has been teaching theology in several Eastern European countries like Hungary, Romania, Russia and Ukraine.

His research subject was: ‘An historical and theological analysis of the doctrine of perseverance in some Eastern European Baptist Unions between 1890 and 2000 A.D with special reference to Hungary.  Dr Eryl Davies was his main supervisor.
Paul’s research area focused especially on the Baptist Unions in Hungary, Russia and Ukraine. He established that these Unions had moved theologically from a Calvinistic perspective on perseverance to an Arminian one. Communism was one major factor in this change through persecution, the imposing of church mergers and the weakening of doctrinal statements. Western theological influence, including Western trained Eastern Europeans, was also a significant theological factor in contributing to this theological move away from Calvinism.
Optimism is expressed in his Conclusion for the possibility and continuance of helpful dialogue regarding this doctrine within these Unions as it has huge pastoral implications as well as challenges for the unity and mission of the church.

Rev Levente Horvath, an ordained minister in the Hungarian Reformed church in Transylvania ( Romania), researched areas of historical theology and missiology and he was original and comprehensive in identifying and evaluating the changing concepts of mission in the Hungarian Reformed Church in Transylvania between 1895 and 1950. In 1993, the Rev Horvath was directed by the Bishop of Transylvania to become a missionary pastor in the district of Transylvania, specializing in ministry to alcoholics and people with other addictions as well. In this context, he established the Reformed Rescue Mission and he has a Therapy and Rehabilitation Centre near Kolozsvar. As a young man, Levente was involved with the underground church in Transylvania and when the Communist regime collapsed in Romania in 1991, he started a youth evangelistic ministry targeting University students. He also helped to found Koinonia Publishing at this time in order to communicate the Gospel to intellectuals. It was a privilege to fellowship with him in WEST. His supervisor was Dr Eryl Davies. We pray that Levente’s ministry will be even more fruitful in the coming years and that his research will contribute significantly to the life and witness of the Reformed Church in Transylvania.

Rev Kyung-U Ra , an ordained Presbyterian minister from South Korea, completed research under the title ‘An Investigation of the Influence of the Paschal-New Exodus Motif on the Description of Christ and His Work in the Gospel of John (Chapters One to Four)’.  His supervisors were Dr Tom Holland (at WEST) and Prof D P Davies (University of Wales, Lampeter).  This was a particularly valuable contribution to our understanding of the Old Testament underpinning to the apostle’s thinking and expression in these early chapters.  It forms part of a “project” spanning the whole of the Gospel of John under Dr Holland’s oversight.  We pray that the Lord will bless Kyung-U Ra and his family, who have been living in Bridgend, as he further serves the Church of Christ in the future.

Craig Sheppard (USA): American Church History
Roger Powell (England): The East African Revival and its Impact on English Evangelicalism

Giving

Published on 1st February 2008

We thank God for our loyal supporters without whom the work simply could not continue.  Student fees meet only 60% of our costs.  The financial crisis has inevitably adversely affected giving (the only other element in the absence of government or denominational funding).  We recently made it easier to donate to WEST through an on-line facility from the home page of the web site.  We have received several donations via this means, some which took up the option of boosting their giving through Gift Aid. Your gifts could help:
1. Needy students: they include applicants from abroad but increasingly are from UK - most British students at WEST have a first degree, and if they are typical, a hefty debt too from paying off loans.
2. Fund new staff appointments: we plan to develop our complement of full-time academic staff by one a year over the next 3 years. All will be godly conservative evangelicals with a wide range of pastoral or missions experience.
3. Develop the campus: we need more classrooms, a library twice the size of the existing and a large meeting room to cater for 200 or so.  A scheme already has planning permission.  We need the funds to proceed.
4. On-going running costs: this includes staff salaries, maintenance of the site, heat and light, etc.  This may sound mundane but it is nonetheless vital.
