E983158983137983150983143983141983148983145983139983137983148 theology designates an aspiration and ambition not

a ait (or even a aith) accompli Te chie task o evangelical the-

ology is to say on the basis o Scriptures what God is doing in Christ and

then to indicate how to live it out Stated differently the purpose o evan-gelical theology is to help make communities o disciples people who come

to understand and correspond to the reality o the gospelmdashpeople who

become ldquolittle Christsrdquo and thus ulfill their vocation to live as images o

God Te hope o the gospel impels us to look orward (always renewing)

the knowledge that present-day Christians are not the first to receive the

gospel urges us to look back and learn rom the past (always retrieving)

Evangelical theology is both hope and heritage It is this dynamic position

poised between past and uture that makes the evangelical present a

moment charged with eschatological significance (always responding)

ldquooday i you hear his voice do not harden your heartsrdquo (Heb 9830911048631-1048632 1048625983093 9830921048631

c Ps 10486339830931048631-1048632) Te ambition o evangelical theology is to retrieve what Godrsquos

people have heard in the past to renew tired traditions and to respond with

alacrity and obedience to Godrsquos orward call in the present But we are

getting ahead o ourselves

either physical or psychological discomort that leads a patient to seek out a

doctor It is the most prominent sign that all is not well Te presenting

problem o evangelical theology is all too conspicuous it has no doctrinalbackbone Tis too is a public health issue insoar as it complicates the project

o preserving the unity o the body that is o the transdenominational Bible-

centered renewal movement that is modern global evangelicalism

Te problem stated Tis presenting problem is also a direct challenge to

our project o articulating a ldquomererdquo evangelical theology o be sure there

are amily resemblances between evangelicals and these can be described

in sociological terms According to imothy George ldquoEvangelicals are aworldwide amily o Bible-believing Christians committed to sharing with

everyone everywhere the transorming good news o new lie in Jesus Christ

an utterly ree gif that comes through aith alone in the crucified and risen

Saviorrdquo983089 David Bebbingtonrsquos description o modern British evangelicals has

become a useul point o reerence or defining evangelicalism in general

conversionism (emphasis on being ldquoborn againrdquo) biblicism (emphasis on

biblical authority) crucicentrism (emphasis on the saving significance oJesusrsquo death) and activism (emphasis on sharing the gospel by witnessing in

word and works o love)983090 Important as these emphases are we already saw

in the introduction that they are too broad to give rise to a single unified

theology983091 Tis should not be surprising when one realizes that evangelicals

can be ound in nearly all Protestant and Pentecostal denominations and

beyond Evangelicals have an ecumenical bent toward unity Te question is

whether they can reach unity as concerns the essentials o theological truth

A mere evangelical theology requires no less

Te story o twentieth- and twenty-first-century American evangeli-

calism is largely that o a struggle or the evangelical soul Speaking broadly

some (call them ldquopietistsrdquo or short) contend that the soul o evangelicalism

the uniying principle is spiritual and experiential rooted in love while

others (call them ldquopropositionalistsrdquo) contend that the uniying principle isdoctrinal rooted in truth Still others (call them ldquopeacemakersrdquo) contend

that the uniying principle is political rooted in justice983092 For Stanley Grenz

a pietist evangelicalism is at root a shared experience o conversion to

Christ an ethos rather than a system o belie983093 Many hasten to agree on the

ground that as concerns the evangelical movement spiritual experience

unites whereas doctrine divides

In line with our introductory sketch then there are several reasons whyany project that sets out to ormulate the doctrinal core o the evangelical

movement may be doomed in advance to ailure (1048625) there is no institutional

mechanism or magisterium to declare what is essential (983090) evangelicals in-

habit differing conessional traditions that reflect real theological disagree-

ments (983091) identiying a stable doctrinal core might actually work against

evangelicalismrsquos ability to serve as a transdenominational renewal movement

in the church (983092) no amount o sociological description o what evangelicalsdo believe is able to generate a theological prescription o what evangelicals

ought to believe

As Stephen Holmes observes with classic British understatement ldquoTe

standard definitions o evangelicalism are not doctrinalrdquo983094 While one can

identiy Roman Catholics Lutherans Presbyterians and so on by consulting

official documents (eg catechisms conessions) one can find evangelicals

all over the theological map hence ldquoDistinguishing lsquoinsidersrsquo rom lsquoout-

sidersrsquo can prove to be tricky businessrdquo983095 In the words o William Abraham

ldquoTere is no single essence or one particular condition that will be agreed

upon by all evangelicalsrdquo983096 In response to this inherent diversity Donald

Dayton has proposed a moratorium on the label ldquoevangelicalrdquo on thegrounds that it is ldquotheologically incoherent sociologically conusing and

ecumenically harmulrdquo1048633 D G Hart concurs ldquoEvangelicalism needs to be

relinquished as a religious identity because it does not existrdquo9830891048624

Te problem expanded Floating centers and fuzzy boundaries Te

evangelical empire has been quick to strike back Albert Mohler agrees that

a merely descriptive (ie historical or sociological) definition o evangelical

identity is not enough to ensure the theological integrity o the movementFor that we need a normative definition 983089983089 Whereas undamentalists

promote a static ldquobounded setrdquo with clearly defined doctrinal borders and

revisionists a dynamic ldquocentered setrdquo with members who are closer or arther

rom the center (but neither ldquoinrdquo or ldquooutrdquo) Mohlerrsquos conessional evangeli-

calism represents what he calls a ldquocenter-bounded setrdquo At the center is ldquode-

votion to Christ and joyul confidence in the gospelrdquo983089983090 Yet the center rightly

understood ldquodefines the boundariesrdquo and without boundariesmdashwithout adiscernible circumerencemdashit is impossible to say what affirming the evan-

gelical center rules out what evangelicals are not (eg not theologically

liberal not heretics) and what positions are not evangelical Te center o-

cuses on what the gospel is the boundaries on what the gospel is not ldquoAt-

tention to the boundaries is as requisite as devotion to the centerrdquo983089983091

Mohler worries that i evangelicalism is defined merely by the center it

will be at best a ldquouzzy setrdquo Yet his critics worry that Mohlerrsquos boundaries are

themselves uzzy Who gets to decide to draw the line that determines who

is ldquoinrdquo or ldquooutrdquo and how can such a line be other than subjective even arbi-

trary John Stackhouse comments ldquoTe notion o boundaries has to do with

whether there must be sharp definition at the edges not whether there is

clear definition at the corerdquo983089983092 Mohler understands the importance o having

more than arbitrary criteria or deciding which doctrines are essential andproposes a ldquotheological triagerdquo model that distinguishes first- second- and

third-level doctrines Only first-level doctrines make up the boundaries that

distinguish evangelicals rom nonevangelicals or without these doctrines

ldquowe are lef with a denial o the gospel itselrdquo983089983093

David Bebbingtonrsquos review o Four Views on the Spectrum of Evangeli-

calism rightly identifies the underlying conflict

Te conservatives speciy what evangelicalism ought to be the progressives ex-

plain what the phenomena is For the first pair a theological conviction o their

own trumps whatever anyone else may say or the second twosome the exis-

tence o other persuasions among sel-described evangelicals dictates that

nobody can make a firm prescription Tere lies the nub o the question at issue983089983094

Again we are aced with the difficulty serious and perhaps insurmountable

o deriving an evangelical ought rom an evangelical is983089983095

ldquoIn essentials unity in non-essentials liberty in all things charityrdquo983089983096 Evangelicals are not the first Christians who have struggled to define the

essentials Te challenge again is to do so in principled ashion Stephen

Holmes advances the discussion by answering the implied question es-

sential for what Holmes argues that what makes evangelical doctrine dis-

tinctive is not the content (all Christians agree about orthodoxy) but rather

its ldquoconscious and serious decision about the relative importance o

doctrinesrdquo9830891048633 Specifically the first-order or essential evangelical doctrines are

ldquojust those necessary to maintain a particular soteriological schemerdquo9830901048624 Te

soteriological scheme Holmes has in mind is associated with being ldquoborn

againrdquo namely ldquopunctilliar [sic] conversion and immediate assurancerdquo983090983089 Doctrines that do not have a direct bearing on this soteriological scheme

will ipso acto be secondary or tertiary Holmes thinks that this consequence

was only fitting ldquobecause the mission o taking the gospel to the world mat-

tered ar more than the task o upholding inherited doctoral distinctivesrdquo983090983090

He thereore concludes ldquoTat which does not serve the cause o mission is

necessarily not important in a truly evangelical theologyrdquo983090983091

Holmes is on to something A mere evangelical theology must be able tosay what the essentials are by answering the question ldquoEssential for what rdquo

However rather than limit our answer to what evangelicals may think is

necessary or salvation we find it more to the evangelical point to define

essential doctrines in terms o what is necessary or the integrity o the

gospel itsel as set orth in the Scriptures and by implication what is nec-

rule that would render first theology an exact science Such a claim would

indeed go against the need or prayerul wisdom and communal dis-

cernment that we advocate in these pages Mere evangelical theology is anaim not a possession it is a promissory note not money in the bank Never-

theless there is a ldquogood depositrdquo to be guarded (983090 im 10486251048625983092) Te good de-

posit is ldquothe aith that was once or all delivered to the saintsrdquo (Jude 983091) Te

church has been ldquoentrusted with the gospelrdquo (1048625 Tess 983090983092) hence the good

deposit is nothing less than the good news Mere evangelical theology takes

this trust with the utmost seriousnessmdashand passion We are zealous o this

trust we trust this trust more than anything else Tis trust is the apostolictestimony to the wondrous acts o God in the history o Jesus Christ

An anchored set Is the good deposit a bounded centered or center-

bounded set Te problem with a bounded set is that everything in it ap-

pears to be o equal importance onersquos identity is a unction o everything

the set contains Te problem with the centered set as Mohler points out is

that in lacking a circumerence it also lacks definition Te problem with

Mohlerrsquos center-bounded set though is that it ultimately lacks a clear prin-ciple or distinguishing essential rom nonessential doctrine inadvertently

giving license or each evangelical theologian to do what seems right in his

or her own eyes

I we must define evangelical in terms o set theory it will be in terms not

o a mathematical but a nautical model mere evangelical theology we

contend is an anchored set An anchor is like a center in that it is a fixed

point whose purpose is to restrict a vessel rom drifing Te church is not

the anchor but the vesselmdashan ark that the anchor holds ast It is only thanks

to the anchor that this ark is not tossed to and ro by the waves o secular-

ization and carried about by every wind o cultural doctrine (Eph 9830921048625983092) As

we know it is possible to make shipwreck o onersquos aith (1048625 im 104862510486251048633) While

an anchor is grounded (not bounded) there are indeed limits on the surace

as to how ar a vessel can drif An anchored set is thus defined not only by

its anchor but also by the limited range o motion that it allows on the

suracemdashand by the length o its rope on which we shall say more below

Scripture speaks o a certain hope as ldquoa sure and steadast anchor o the

soulrdquo (Heb 104863010486251048633) What is this anchor o hope In context it is Godrsquos promise

to Abraham a promise made even more certain by Godrsquos oath ldquoSo when




983093983090 983144983141983151983148983151983143983161 983137983150983140 983156983144983141 M983145983154983154983151983154 983151983142 S983139983154983145983152983156983157983154 983141

God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs o the promise the

unchangeable character o his purpose he guaranteed it with an oath so that

by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible or God to lie we whohave fled or reuge might have strong encouragement to hold ast to the

hope set beore usrdquo (Heb 104863010486251048631-10486251048632) Tis is a deep passage but or our pur-

poses the salient point is this the unchanging purpose o God is guaranteed

by the unchanging Word o God which in turn is guaranteed by the un-

changing nature o God Te ldquoanchorrdquo in question is thereore Godrsquos very

being which as we shall see below means his being true steadast and

aithul (Ex 9830919830921048630) We know that God is aithul and true because Jesus is theulfillment o the promise o salvation God has kept his word

Te rest o the present chapter explores the nature o this ldquosure and

steadast anchorrdquo or mere evangelical theology o the charge that evan-

gelical theology has no doctrinal backbone we shall respond that the gospel

itsel presupposes implies and entails it however in addition to being cru-

cicentric we shall argue that evangelical theology is essentially rinity-

centric

983090983094

It is unortunately telling that the doctrine o the rinity is ofenmissing rom lists like Bebbingtonrsquos that merely describe what evangelicals

believe and prioritize

Mere evangelical theology as an anchored set can initially be charac-

terized in terms o two principles one material (substantive) one ormal

(stylistic) each with three entailments As to substance mere evangelical

theology is (1048625) orthodox conorming to the early creeds (983090) catholic

spanning all the times and places where there has been a local church and

(983091) Protestant affirming o the Reormation solas As to style it is (1048625) radical

first because anchored in the root (radix ) o the gospelmdashthe triune Godmdash

and second because this rootedness leads it to conront the world with the

claims o the gospel (983090) irenic acknowledging that we need many perspec-

tives and people groups ully to appreciate the gospelrsquos wealth o meaning

and (983091) joyful first because it takes its bearings rom the best o all words

that can be heard and second because it takes its energy rom the Spirit the

minister o Godrsquos word and the giver o Godrsquos lie

26Both o the first two chapters begin with a statement o their respective presenting problems

which we then answer with a pair o mere evangelical ldquonotesrdquo rinitarian and crucicentric

(chap 1048625) biblicist and catholic (chap 1048626)





o anticipate mere evangelical theology is the constant source o renewal

at the heart o the renewal movement with which evangelicalism has been

identified a permanent revolution that under the authority o the word andin the power o the Spirit helps the church to renew retrieve and respond

to the gospel in every age culture and circumstance

In September 9830909830881048625983090 the Christian Century magazine published several au-

thorsrsquo best attempts at summarizing the gospel in seven words A ew stated

general principles or moral maxims without even mentioning Jesus ChristldquoWe are who God says we arerdquo ldquoLove your neighbor as yoursel rdquo (also known

as a summary o the law) Others mentioned Christ but do not qualiy as

news ldquoChristrsquos humanity occasions our divinityrdquo ldquoGod through Christ

welcomes you anyhowrdquo Still others tied the message o Christ to a particular

event ldquoGod was born We can be rebornrdquo ldquoTe wall o hostility has come

downrdquo None to our mind surpasses the apostle Paulrsquos ldquoIn Christ God was

reconciling the worldrdquo (983090 Cor 98309310486251048633)Te God of the gospel Te gospel (evangel ) is good news about what

God has done in Jesus Christ or the sake o the world As such it presup-

poses two key theological truths (1048625) God has acted (there is something

good to report) (983090) God has spoken (the news comes rom God and is thus

utterly reliable) Tat God has spoken and acted can never be the con-

clusion o natural theology and neither is it the kind o happening that

can be verified by investigative journalism On the contrary the gospel

presupposes divine speech and action revealed theology Godrsquos sel-

communication Tese divine initiatives constitute the doctrinal backbone

o mere evangelical theology

Godrsquos speech and act are on conspicuous display throughout the Scrip-

tures Indeed Scripture is to a great extent the mirror o Godrsquos words and

deeds Te Psalms are filled with passages praising God or his word or

speech (Pss 10486251048632983091983088 104862510486251048633) and his ldquowondrous deedsrdquo (Pss 10486331048625 983092983088983093) In particular

God makes himsel known to Israel as the One who ulfills his promise to

Abraham by delivering his descendants rom slavery in Egypt God is iden-

tified by what one scholar has called ldquothe gospel according to Mosesrdquo ldquoI am

house o slaveryrdquo (Deut 9830931048630)983090983095 God makes himsel known not through ideas

(ldquoI am the being than which nothing greater may be conceivedrdquo) but by

piercing words and mighty works not only by his act o deliverance but alsoby revealing his will (the law) and entering into covenant with Israel What

God did or Israel was unathomably good and unquestionably newsworthy

ldquoFor ask now o the days that are past and ask rom one end o heaven to

the other whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever

heard ordquo (Deut 983092983091983090)

Te later chapters o the book o Isaiah depict a ldquonew exodusrdquo event in-

volving a figure called the Servant o the Lord and having to do with therestoration o Israel rom exile in Babylon (see or example Is 983092983090 9830921048633 983093983090)

Te New estament authors appealed to this new exodus imagery to an-

nounce the good news o salvation in Jesus Christmdashto explain the deliv-

erance God makes not just or Israel but or the whole world on the cross o

Christ Te gospel is the news that God out o his own ree love has made

a people or himsel Te church like Israel is a chosen race (1048625 Pet 9830901048633)

chosen to be a kingdom o priests (Ex 104862510486331048630 c 1048625 Pet 9830901048633) Godrsquos treasuredpossession (Ex 10486251048633983093 Deut 10486311048630 1048625983092983090 983090104863010486251048632 c Rev 9830901048625983090) and his adopted

children (Deut 10486259830921048625 Rom 1048632983090983091 Gal 983092983093 Eph 1048625983093) Te gospel o Jesus Christ

does not introduce something entirely novel but is rather the continuation

and climax o the good news about the one true God God delivers

In the New estament the good news is particularly associated with the

announcement o the arrival o Godrsquos kingdom Matthewrsquos Gospel depicts

Jesus as proclaiming ldquothe gospel o the kingdomrdquo (Mt 983092983090983091 1048633983091983093 9830909830921048625983092) Te

term gospel (εὐαγγέλιον) also shows up in the Greco-Roman context where

it marked the birth o the emperor Augustus as a ldquogodrdquo who would bring

peace to the world Te term also reerred to announcements o victory in

battle and o what lie would now be like983090983096 Tis is how Irenaeus and other

church athers understood what has come to be known as the protevan-

geliummdashthe first intimation o the gospelmdashin Genesis 9830911048625983093

What Jesus proclaims in Matthew as ldquothe gospel o the kingdomrdquo Paul can

reer to as ldquothe gospel o Christrdquo (Rom 104862598309310486251048633 1048625 Cor 10486331048625983090 983090 Cor 9830901048625983090 10486331048625983091 10486259830881048625983092

Gal 10486251048631 Phil 10486259830901048631 1048625 Tess 983091983090) Tere is no contradiction when we see that the

kingdom has indeed come in the person and work o Jesus (ldquoLrsquo eacutetat crsquo est

moirdquo) N Wright has argued at length that the Gospels are not instruc-tions about how to go to heaven but rather announcements that heavenmdash

the reign o Godmdashhas come to earth Te story o Jesus is ldquothe story o Is-

raelrsquos God coming back to his people as he had always promisedrdquo9830911048624 Te

gospel is thus the good news that God has made good on his promise to

restore Israel and renew creation It is the good news that God has come to

set the world right yet with a different kind o exodus than Israel had been

expecting Tis exodus took place as Jesus expired on the cross (Lk 10486339830911048625) andwhat God parted was not the Red Sea but the curtain o the temple (Mt 98309010486319830931048625

Mk 10486259830939830911048632 Lk 983090983091983092983093) thus enabling new access to God983091983089 Te good news is that

through the cross and resurrection God has overcome the powers and prin-

cipalities o this world to establish his rule o justice administered by his

Prince o Peace (Is 10486331048630) on earth as it is in heaven983091983090 Again the gospel is not

about ldquogoing to heavenrdquo as much as it is bringing heaven to earth to renew

rightly grasp the meaning o the crucifixion scene on Golgotha only against

the narrative backdrop o creation and the covenants with Abraham and

David983091983091 For the good news is in large measure a unction not only o whatGod has done but also o who God is

Te gospel of God In addition to the gospel being ldquoo the kingdomrdquo and

ldquoo Christrdquo there are also reerences to the gospel ldquoo your salvationrdquo (Eph

10486251048625983091) and ldquoo peacerdquo (Eph 10486301048625983093) More striking still is a phrase that occurs

seven times and appears to make God himsel the content o the gospel ldquothe

gospel of God means the good news about God983091983092

o say ldquogospel o Godrdquo isto sum up how the gospel involves Christ the kingdom salvation and peace

Mere evangelical theology takes its undamental orientation rom this in-

sight that the good news about Godrsquos kingdommdashthe coming o salvation and

shalommdashhas largely to do with how God the Father has set things right in

God the Son through the cross and resurrection by the power o God the

Holy Spirit Te gospel is unintelligible apart from the rinity and the rinity

is unknowable apart from the gospel though how this is so awaits urtherexplanation below

Te gospel is the announcement that God has ulfilled his promise Paul

makes this perectly clear in Romans 10486251048625-983092 Te ldquogospel o Godrdquo was promised

beorehand ldquothrough his prophetsrdquo (Rom 1048625983090) Te ldquogospel o Godrdquo concerns

Godrsquos Son a descendant o David according to the flesh (Rom 1048625983091) Tis same

Son though he died in the flesh was declared to be the Son o God ldquoin

power according to the Spirit o holiness by his resurrection rom the deadrdquo

(Rom 1048625983092) Te good news is that God did what he said he would do through

his Son and his Spirit God is true to himsel as good as his word God does

what he says and he is as he doesmdashand what he does and is involves his

Son and Spirit

ldquoGod-breathedrdquo through the prophets and apostles) Interestingly though Ernest Best takes the

ldquoo Godrdquo in 1048625 Tess 10486261048626 to be a subjective genitive (Godrsquos gospel) he goes on to say that God is

Te good news is a narrative report God the Father o all things has

established his reign in Christrsquos death and resurrection and through aith

incorporates through his Spirit those who put their trust in the Son makingthem coheirs who share in his reign Behind this narrative reportmdashor

rather over and above itmdashis an ontological presupposition about the God

o this gospel

Earlier we cited the exodus rom Egypt as the gospel according to Moses

Tere is a long tradition o taking Godrsquos covenant name revealed to Moses

rom the burning bush as a metaphysical claim ldquoI am the one who isrdquo Tis

at least is the way the Septuagint translates Exodus 9830911048625983092 and it has generatedspeculation that God is being itsel and thus immutable We preer another

interpretive tradition that reads the divine name (ldquoI am that I amrdquo) in the

context o Godrsquos ongoing relationship with the children o Abraham In this

context at stake is not simply Godrsquos existence but Godrsquos identity Godrsquos name

is as much promise as proposition ldquoI will be who I prove mysel to berdquo Te

ontological implication o Godrsquos name is less metaphysical than covenantal

God is unchanging because he is steadast and aithul Te gospel is thegood news not that God is ldquothe one who isrdquo but that God is who he says he

is and has done something wonderul that proves it983091983093

We are now in a position to state and then explicate over several sections

the principal thesis o the present chapter concerning the God o the gospel

Te substance of mere evangelical theology is the God presupposed and

implied by the gospel Te task of mere evangelical theology is to understand

who God is what he has done and why it counts as good news Mere evan-

gelical theology depends on Godrsquos self-communication in Christ and the Scrip-

tures as the primary source and norm of this understanding Te God who

reveals himself in the person and work of Jesus Christ is from all eternity Father

Son and Holy Spirit Te gospel is thus grounded in and an expression of Godrsquos

triune being Te way God reveals himself in time is a dramatic representation

(a moving image) of the way God is in eternity Te good news of what God

has done in history thus has a counterpart in the way God has always been

disposed toward humanity Jesus Christ is the mirror of God and the gospel

mere evangelical theology is evoked sustained governed challenged and

judged by the good news that we can have union with Christ and thus eternalcommunion with God

Light and mirrors A mirror is a surace that receives and reflects light

Any kind o reflecting surace whether polished metal or glass can serve as

a mirror to the extent that it catches light and thus reflects the things beore

it Mirrors image the world outside their surace Richard Rorty roundly

criticizes the Enlightenment idea that the human mind is the mirror o

nature We can raise a similar concern about the human mind as mirror ograce Whence come our images o what God is like Mere evangelical the-

ology wants to avoid at all costs Ludwig Feuerbachrsquos critique that God is

nothing more than a projection o our best human thoughts on what would

otherwise be a blank heavenly screen983091983094 o the extent that it seeks to think

o God with its own resources only (eg ideas o perect being) the mind

is a mirror not o nature but o natural theology

Who is mirroring whom Contra Feuerbach mere evangelical theologyinsists that whatever source o light we have about God comes rom God

not ourselves Te light o reason projects only a aint glow compared to the

glorious light o Godrsquos sel-communication God is light (1048625 Jn 1048625983093) and

though creation reflects some o this light (Rom 104862510486251048633-983090983088) stubborn and

sinul human hearts distort the mindrsquos reflective surace (Rom 10486259830901048625-983090983090) Un-

aided reason cannot find out the gospel because the mind is a darkened

mirror ldquoTe god o this world has blinded the minds o the unbelievers to

keep them rom seeing the light o the gospel o the glory o Christ who is

the image o Godrdquo (983090 Cor 983092983092)

Te light o the gospel o the glory o Christ is the anchor o mere evan-

gelical theology We want to see the light we want to know the God who is

light we earnestly desire ldquothe light o lierdquo (Jn 10486321048625983090) Above all we want to

understand and participate in what we might call the ldquoeconomy o lightrdquo that

is the way God administers or distributes his sel-knowledge and the way

God delivers us rom the domain o darkness and transers us to his kingdom

the light in the triune God In the ollowing chapter our ocus will be on the

(epistemological) light o knowledge and the role that Scripture and its in-

terpretation play in the economy o light Mention should also be made othe role that the Holy Spirit plays in conorming us (ethically) to Christ

thereby making saints into ldquolittle lightsrdquo that reflect Godrsquos own light983091983095 But

we begin with the ldquotrue light [that] was coming into the worldrdquo (Jn 10486251048633)

Christ (revelation) not the mind (reason) is the mirror o grace Jesus

Christ is the revelation o God He is in the words o the Nicene Creed

ldquoLight o Light very God o very Godrdquo He is in his words ldquothe light o the

worldrdquo (Jn 10486321048625983090 1048633983093) Te author o Hebrews makes a connection betweenlight and mirror claiming that Christ is ldquothe radiance o the glory o God

and the exact imprint [Gk χαρακτὴρ] o his naturerdquo (Heb 1048625983091) We learn

thereore that the Father is ldquoessentially outgoing rdquo an extrovert so to speak983091983096

Jesusrsquo body the surace o his flesh mirrors God he is as it were the ldquospitting

imagerdquo o his Father not least because he is the Word that proceeds rom the

Fatherrsquos mouth ldquoIn these last days he has spoken to us by his Sonrdquo (Heb 1048625983090)

Te Son is an echo a verbal reflection o the speaker But we were speakingo mirrors

Te Son as mirror of the FatherTe Son is the Fatherrsquos sel-communicative

act an uttered Word that in taking flesh becomes the bodily reflection

(ldquoexact representationrdquo) o Godrsquos unapproachable lightmdashin a word an image

Calvinrsquos comment on the claim that the Son is ldquothe exact imprint o his

naturerdquo (Heb 1048625983091) is apt ldquoTe substance o the Father is in some way engraven

on Christrdquo9830911048633 Christ shares in the light that is God but reflects it in the mirror

o his humanity and flesh What Jesus does in his human orm mirrors di-

vinity ldquoHe displayed the nature (or orm) o God in the nature (or orm) o

a servantrdquo9830921048624 Te humanity o Jesus Christ is the polished (sinless) surace

in which we see reflected the very image o God (Heb 9830921048625983093) Tis is a rich

biblical theme and here we can only touch on two key passages the pro-

logue to the Fourth Gospel and the hymn to Christ in Colossians 10486251048625983093-983090983088

Te Word that in the beginning was with God and was God (Jn 10486251048625) the

ldquotrue lightrdquo (Jn 10486251048633) ldquobecame flesh and dwelt among usrdquo (Jn 10486251048625983092) Brooke FossWestcott is right to note that there was ldquowordrdquo (λογός) even beore Godrsquos

sel-communication to humanity983092983089 Tough no one has seen God this

WordmdashGod ldquothe one and only [Gk μονογενὴς = unique]rdquo (Jn 104862510486251048632 983150983145983158)mdashhe

has made him known ldquoWe have seen his glory glory as o the only Son rom

the Father ull o grace and truthrdquo (Jn 10486251048625983092) Tis ldquograce and truthrdquo that char-

acterizes the incarnate Son recalls the andחסד o Exodus 9830919830921048630 thatאמת

Moses saw when God passed beore him and proclaimed his name Tetruth pertains to revelation the grace to redemption perhaps even the gif

o sonship983092983090 As Jesus serves to mirror God so the prologue o the Fourth

Gospel ldquoserves as a mirror o what is ours in Christrdquo983092983091

It is because God is seen in the mirror o Jesusrsquo humanity that Christ is

called the ldquoimagerdquo (Gk εἰκών) o God (983090 Cor 983092983092) Te terminology is ini-

tially shocking afer all the Second Commandment says ldquoTou shalt not

make any graven imagerdquo (Ex 983090983088983092 983147983146983158) o God Such attempts to imagethe invisible God are idolatrous Feuerbachian projections In the ancient

Near East it was the custom or kings to erect images representing them-

selves when they could not be physically present (c Dan 9830911048625-1048631) Tis may

explain the purpose behind Godrsquos creation o men and women ldquoinrdquo Godrsquos

image (Gen 10486259830901048630-9830901048631) to rule over creation in his stead (Gen 10486259830901048632) Tis ap-

pears to have been the intended destiny or humankind to reflect God in

and to creation In the words o the psalmist ldquoYou have made him a little

lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honorrdquo (Ps

1048632983093) ragically the species has not lived up to its divinely intended purpose

We have not ruled rightly but rebelled against our design plan Consequently

we do not image God983092983092

41Westcott also says anticipating our next section ldquoTus the economic rinity the rinity o

revelation is shown to answer to an essential rinityrdquo (Brooke Foss Westcott Te Gospel Accord-

ing to St John [Grand Rapids Baker 10486259830971048632983088] p 1048629)42So Henri Blocher ldquoJohn 1048625rdquo in Teological Commentary Evangelical Perspectives ed R Michael

ability to reflect God ldquoTe likeness involved in being created in Godrsquos likeness-image is about

the likeness that God is intending at creation not a descriptive statement about the way people





Te true God the High King is immortal and invisible (1048625 im 104862510486251048631) As Paul

reminds the idol-mongering Athenians ldquowe ought not to think that the divine

being is like gold or silver or stone an image ormed by the art and imaginationo manrdquo (Acts 104862510486319830901048633) Nevertheless God has an image ldquoHe [Jesus Christ] is the

image o the invisible Godrdquo (Col 10486251048625983093) Te Son is not Godrsquos image because he

is a man but because he is the eternal template o which human beings are but

ainter tokens Tat God has an image who was with him in the beginning in

his own interior lie means ldquothat God incorporates otherness within Godrsquos own

lie and that God communicates the ullness o Godrsquos own being to this

otherrdquo983092983093

Te Son is the eternally reflecting image o the Father very God rom very God Humans created ldquoinrdquo Godrsquos image are thus created to be like Christ

to magniy Godrsquos glory by reflecting it even urther Tis is our human destiny

indeed our predestination ldquoFor those whom he oreknew he also predestined

to be conformed to the image of his Sonrdquo (Rom 10486329830901048633)983092983094

Te Son as mirror of God and the gospel Te Christ hymn in Colossians 1048625

suggests that Christ is the mirror image not simply o God but o the gospel

itsel and indeed o all reality

983092983095

Te good news is that God the Father hasenabled believers ldquoto share in the inheritance o the saints in lightrdquo (Col 10486251048625983090)

He has done this by transerring them into the kingdom o his beloved Son

(Col 10486251048625983091) In the hymn that ollows the stanzas move rom Christ being the

ldquofirstborn o all creationrdquo (Col 10486251048625983093) to his being the ldquofirstborn rom the deadrdquo

(Col 104862510486251048632) that is the firstruits o the new creation He is both agent and

goal o creation and redemption alike or ldquoall things were created through

him and or himrdquo (Col 104862510486251048630) and it is ldquothrough him [that God pleased] to

reconcile to himsel all thingsrdquo (Col 1048625983090983088) Accordingly this passage too like

the prologue to the Fourth Gospel acts as a mirror that shows us the riches

we have in Christ

Colossians 10486251048625983093-983090983088 is itsel a mirror o earlier Scripture inasmuch as it

draws on earlier Scriptures to describe Christmdashparticularly Genesis 1048625 and

perhaps Proverbs 1048632983092983096 Te figure o Jesus Christ best comes into ocus onlyagainst a canonical canvas as does the gospel itsel For example ldquofirstbornrdquo

alludes both to Israelrsquos divine election (Ex 983092983090983090) and to the divine ap-

pointment o Israelrsquos king (Ps 104863210486339830901048631) ldquo[Paul] is teaching the Colossians rom

the inherited scriptures who Christ is what he has done or them trans-

porting them into the dominion o David which is properly the Sonrsquosrdquo9830921048633

Te truly startling eature o this hymn to Christ written within living

memory o Jesusrsquo death is Paulrsquos assertion that Jesus Christ is not only theimage o God but actively imaged God in doing things that only God could

do namely creating heaven and earth9830931048624 As Richard Bauckham observes

ldquoWhat the passage does is to include Jesus Christ in Godrsquos unique relationship

to the whole o created reality and thereby to include Jesus in the unique

identity o God as Jewish monotheism understood itrdquo983093983089 God is not simply

ldquothe one who delivered Israel rom slaveryrdquo but also ldquothe one who created the

heavens and the earthrdquo and the Son whom Paul extols in Colossians 1048625 issomehow included in this identity

Christ is the mirror image not only o God the Creator but also o God

the Redeemer Paulrsquos Christ hymn celebrates the good news that the one

who made all things ldquogoodrdquo (Gen 10486259830911048625) has acted again to reconcile all

things to himsel through the blood o Jesusrsquo cross (Col 1048625983090983088) Christ is thus

the beginning o the beginning (creation) and the beginning (ldquofirstborn

rom the deadrdquo) o the end the remaking o creation (redemption) Christ

is the image o God and the mirror o the gospel because he is the pointmdash

the personmdashthat integrates creation and redemption

We come to know God by what he has said and done God has spoken

and acted or a purpose ldquowhich he set orth in Christ as a plan [Gk

divine strategy by which God communicates his goodness to the created

order Irenaeus saw Christ as the ldquorecapitulationrdquo o all Godrsquos creative and

redemptive purposes Every aspect o Jesusrsquo lie but especially his incar-

nation had cosmic significance or it was all part o the divine project to

ldquounite all things in himrdquo (Eph 10486251048625983088) Te gospel concerns the outworking o

Godrsquos saving purpose ldquothe ways and means o Godrsquos enactment o the newcreationrdquo983093983090 Creation itsel is but the beginning o a divine drama in which

the beginningmdashldquoall things were created through him and or himrdquo (Col

104862510486251048630)mdashalready anticipates the end

Christ is the image o God but in Christ there is a whole economymdashan

outworking o the divine purpose to share Godrsquos light lie and love with the

entire cosmos and the human creature in particular Jesus Christ is the rev-

elation o God what Jesus says and does makes God known and accom-plishes Godrsquos will Te incarnation thus becomes ldquothe lsquoplay within the playrsquo

o the whole economy o creation and salvationrdquo983093983091 Te good news is that God

has communicated his light and lie More to the point God communicates

his light and lie through himsel Hence the gospel o God is the God o the

gospel A mere evangelical theology to the extent that its anchor is Christ is

thus ultimately anchored in the whole economy by which God communi-

cates his light and lie to a world that would otherwise be dark and dead o

see how this is so we now turn to a brie exposition o the divine economy

Eternal Being o the Gospel Eventsrdquo983093983092 Tis eternal beingmdashGodrsquos perect lie

in semdashis what anchors the ldquosetrdquo o doctrines that comprise mere evangelical

theology Our contention is that the anchor is not simply the gospel of God

(the events) but the God of the gospel (the eternal being) Te image o Christ

in the mirror o the gospel is inextricably related to the reality o the triune

God Father Son and SpiritTe gospel according to Father Son and Spirit Te gospel is the an-

nouncement that God has made it possible or human creatures to enjoy el-

lowship with God orever because o the lie death and resurrection o Jesus

Christ Te main claim we wish to stake in the present section is that what

God has done in Christ (the gospel) is unintelligible unless Jesus Christ is

indeed part o the identity o God (ie the second person o the Godhead)

together with the Holy Spirit Why should the gospel be unintelligible unlessthe Son and the Spirit are part o the divine identity Because the gospel is the

good news that God the Father has reached out with both handsmdashSon and

Spiritmdashto a world lost in darkness in order to lif it up into the light o his lie

and hold it in a loving embrace Tis reaching out lifing and embracing is a

nontechnical way o reerring to the divine economy the shared work o

Father Son and Spirit to enlarge their amilial circle Te gospel then is thor-

oughly rinitarian ldquoTe good news o the gospel is that God has opened up

the dynamics o his triune lie and given us a share in that ellowshiprdquo983093983093

We understand both the person and work o Jesus Christ the Son in-

carnate only in relation to the Father and the Spirit Jesus was conceived

by the Spirit was anointed by the Spirit at his baptism did miracles by the

power o the Spirit and afer his ascension sent his Spirit to empower the

church But this does not go ar enough the gospel is not about a Spirit-

filled man We only understand the gospel when we come to see Jesus

altogether to the point o death (Phil 983090983093-10486251048625) becoming flesh (Jn 10486251048625983092) or

is a ldquomoving imagerdquo o the way God is in eternity Stated differently the

economic rinitymdashwhat the Father Son and Spirit do in historymdashis a dra-

matic representation o what Godrsquos eternal lie is (the immanent rinity) and

o his eternally gracious disposition toward the world For example the lovethe Father shows the Son during his sojourn on earth is the historical real-

ization o their eternal relationship ldquoYou loved me beore the oundation o

the worldrdquo (Jn 10486251048631983090983092) Te events o the gospel show us who and what God

eternally is Behind the good news (ldquoGod or usrdquo) thereore is the reality o

the perection o Godrsquos own lie (ldquoGod in himselrdquo)983093983095

Te economy as mirror of eternity We best see the way in which the

economy mirrors Godrsquos eternity by contemplating how what Jesus does in

his earthly ministry mirrors what the Father is always doing just as the

divine missions o the Son and Spirit mirror the eternal relations that make

up Godrsquos perect lie In John 983093 Jesus heals a sick man on the Sabbath much

to the consternation o the Jews Jesus answers them ldquoMy Father is working

until now and I am workingrdquo (Jn 98309310486251048631)983093983096 Te Jews (rightly) heard him as

making himsel equal with God thus prompting this response rom Jesus

ldquoruly truly I say to you the Son can do nothing o his own accord but only

what he sees the Father doing For whatever the Father does that the Sondoes likewise For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himsel

is doing For as the Father raises the dead and gives them lie so also the

Son gives lie to whom he willrdquo (Jn 98309310486251048633-9830901048625) Te Father ldquohas lie in himselrdquo

(Jn 9830939830901048630) but he gives lie in the Son and through the Spirit to others Hence

our thesis Godrsquos saving work in time (the economic rinity) mirrors Godrsquos

being in eternity (the immanent rinity) What lies behind the gospel of God

is the triune God of the gospel 9830931048633

What glimpse we have o the eternal God derives only rom the light o

his revelation For example we only know that Jesus is the Son o God and

that the Son o God is included in Godrsquos identity thanks to the events o

the gospel Yet rom these events and the experience o the earliest Chris-

tians we can reason back to what must be the case i revelation does

indeed reveal God From the act that the Son was ldquosentrdquo by the Father the

early church concluded that the Son must be ldquoeternally begottenrdquo In otherwords the temporal mission o the Son is groundedmdashanchoredmdashin an

eternal procession

Teologians are rightly reluctant to speculate about God-in-himsel In

no way do we wish to be heard as condoning such speculation However

while abstract speculation is one thing it is quite another to ask what must

be true o God or the gospel to be the good news that it is It is vitally im-

portant that the being o God lies ldquobehindrdquo (or above) the events o the

gospel In the first place this is the only way to preserve the Creatorcreature

distinction Some theologians in their zeal to celebrate the God o the

gospel collapse Godrsquos being into the gospel events In this case the eco-

nomic does not mirror or dramatically represent the immanent rinity but

simply is the rinity However to collapse the immanent into the economic

rinity in this way is to inscribe conflict (ie the cross) into Godrsquos very lie

thus subverting the good news9830941048624

proposal but with the events o the gospel See Vanhoozer ldquoAt Play in the Teodrama o the

Lordrdquo pp 1048631-10486251048625 C Scott R Swain ldquoI evangelical theology is to account or the pure gratuity o





A second point the economy begins with a primordial choice (Eph 1048625983092)

I God reaches out to the world it is not because he is obliged to do so on

the contrary God reely determines to extend his two handsmdashhence theldquoplanrdquo rom beore the oundation o the world to sum up all things in Christ

(Eph 10486251048625983088) Hence in reaching out to the world with both hands God is

simply being himsel God is love a ceaseless communicative activity in

which Father Son and Spirit share their light and lie in a never-ending

dance o mutual glorification (Jn 104862510486311048625-983093) In peering intently into the mirror

o the gospel we come to understand that the God who speaks and acts in

Jesus Christ is eternally sel-communicative In Jonathan Edwardsrsquos wordsldquoGod is a communicative beingrdquo983094983089

Te third and most important reason or anchoring the gospel in the

immanent rinity is that only the perect lie o the triune God preserves the

integrity o the gospel and the gratuity o grace Again the good news is that

God has graciously opened up his eternal lie to us and become our adoptive

Father Consider Jesusrsquo Father is ldquoour Fatherrdquo only i (1048625) Jesus is the eternal

Son o God and (983090) the Holy Spirit gives us a share in his sonship by unitingus to the Son Union with Christ is itsel the good news that God gives us

the gif o his Sonrsquos relationship to the Father and thus the means by which

we share in the very lie o the rinity itsel983094983090 Furthermore the gospelmdashthat

all those who believe in the Son may have eternal lie (Jn 98309110486251048630)mdashpresupposes

that there is eternal lie to be had Tere is the lie o God in himselmdashFather

Son and Spirit Te eternal lie o God is his ceaseless loving communication

o his lie and light in which all three persons communicate all that they have

and are to one another in glorious joyul inexhaustible communion It is

into this eternal ellowship that the Spirit incorporates those who put their

trust in and are baptized into Christ

Everything the Son does is testimony to the plan o God and the character

o the Father What we see returning to John 983093 is the Son engaged in the most

the relation between God and the divine acts o election incarnation and indwelling Godrsquos

triune identity must be wholly actual prior to the act wherein he gives himsel to us and

welcomes us into his trinitarian blissrdquo (Te God of the Gospel Robert Jensonrsquos rinitarian Teology

Te subject and substance of the gospel What is ldquoin Christrdquo Te gospel

is essentially the announcementmdashthe setting orth in speechmdasho what is in

Christ o all that Christ is and has done or us In secular philosophy meta-physics is the study o what is Metaphysics was first philosophy or the an-

cient Greeks By way o contrast a mere evangelical account takes as its first

theology what is in Christ Te study o what is in Christ is more serious than

metaphysics or beingmdashheaven and earthmdashwill pass away but neither Jesus

Christ nor his words will ever pass away (Mt 983090983092983091983093) Furthermore what is in

Christ is nonpartisan it does not belong to one single conessional tradition

or one denomination alone but rather serves as an anchor not only to thesoul but to evangelical soteriology983094983092

Te present chapter attempts to set orth the reality behind the mirror o

Scripturemdashthe reality reflected in the historical mirror o Christrsquos fleshmdashby

speciying the content o the gospel and what it presupposes and entails about

the God o the gospel ldquoWhat is in Christrdquo anchors mere evangelical theology

But this raises the question What exactly is in Christ How does God share

his light and lie with us in Christ How does God reconcile the world ldquoin hisbody o flesh by his deathrdquo (Col 1048625983090983090) In sum How does God love us in

Christ Let us count the waysmdashor at least begin to count the ways or as we

shall see there is ar more ldquoin Christrdquo than can be done justice in a ew pages

ldquoIn Christ God was reconciling the worldrdquo (983090 Cor 98309310486251048633) We know that ldquoin

himrdquo all created things are held together (Col 104862510486251048631) but the gospel is the good

news that things not only cohere but also have been made right with God

Te eternal Son is the ldquoplacerdquo where creation happens the incarnate Son is

the ldquoplacerdquo where sins are orgiven and creation made new As Jesus says on

the verge o his ldquodeparturerdquo rom earth (ie his crucifixion) ldquoNow is the Son

o Man glorified and God is glorified in himrdquo (Jn 10486259830919830911048625) As Calvinrsquos comment

on this text beautiully puts it

Jesus Christ were not the second person o the rinity union with him

these privileges is communionmdashriendshipmdashwith God and with all the

Te present chapter sets out the reality behind the mirror o Scripture Strictly

speaking Christians do not believe ldquoinrdquo Scripture but in Jesus Christ on the

basis o the Scriptures Yet there is an important sense in which Christians

do place their trust in Scripturersquos testimony the verbal anchor o our

knowledge o Christ Recall that the gospel is good news and news means

ldquoverbal reportrdquo Te integrity o the gospel thereore depends on the reli-ability o the sources We shall treat the Bible as a norm or evangelical

theology in the next section It will suffice or present purposes to give a brie

account o the ontology o Scripture and its place in the divine economy o

revelation and redemptionmdashin what we have termed the ldquoeconomy o lightrdquo

From one perspective the Bible is like any other book casting only a

weak light on the past It is possible to read it as one would any other hu-

manly authored text a text that may reveal more about its authors and theircontexts than about God or anything else Te language and literature that

make up the Bible are clearly on the creaturely side o the Creatorcreation

distinction In Karl Barthrsquos words ldquoTe secularity proper to Godrsquos Word is

not in itsel and as such transparent or capable o being the mirror o

Godrsquos Wordrdquo983095983093 From a aith perspective however one perceives the Bible

as it truly is a text that is authored (ultimately) by God with God (Jesus

Christ) as its ultimate content and with God (Holy Spirit) as its ultimate

interpreter God has deigned to address humanity in and through his ser-

vants the prophets and apostles who authored Scripture Peter likens the

prophetic word ldquoto a lamp shining in a dark placerdquo (983090 Pet 104862510486251048633) Te Bible is

ldquoa light to my pathrdquo (Ps 1048625104862510486331048625983088983093) but the true light it emits comes rom the

Spirit speaking in the Scriptures

autonomous oracle with powers o its own a well o revelation rom which

its users draw in order to glean supernatural knowledge or their own pur-

poses We must resist the temptation to make Scripture ldquoa static rational-izing norm divorced rom personal acceptance o the living Christ and rom

the active presence o Christrsquos Spiritrdquo983095983095 Instead we must see Scripture or

what it is part o a divinely administered economy o light by which the

triune God establishes and administers covenantal relations with its readers

Put simply the ontology o Scripture is a unction o what God has done in

and is doing with it not o what its human users do with it Webster rightly

observes ldquoHoly Scripture is dogmatically explicated in terms o its role inGodrsquos sel-communication that is the acts o Father Son and Spirit which

establish and maintain that saving ellowship with humankind in which

God makes himsel known to us and by usrdquo983095983096

Te salient point is that God has appointed the Scriptures to play a vital

role in the economy o light ldquoGod is lightrdquo (1048625 Jn 1048625983093) and only in his light do

we see light (Ps 98309110486301048633) Te triune God is Lord o his lighting we might say

God ldquothe Father o lightsrdquo (Jas 104862510486251048631) sends his Son ldquothe radiance o the gloryo Godrdquo (Heb 1048625983091) into the world to be ldquothe light o the worldrdquo (Jn 10486321048625983090 1048633983093)

Te gospel too enlightensmdashcommunicates light (983090 Cor 983092983092) Scripture is

verbally inspired (ie ldquoGod-breathedrdquomdash983090 im 98309110486251048630) triune discourse that

communicates in diverse ways ldquothe light o the knowledge o the glory o

God in the ace o Jesus Christrdquo (983090 Cor 9830921048630) Te Spirit inspires and illumines

light does not enlighten unless people have eyes to perceive it Te Spirit is

the one who enlightens ldquothe eyes o the heartrdquo (c Eph 104862510486251048632) J I Packer

perectly captures the place o Scripture in the triune economy ldquoGod the

Father is the giver o Holy Scripture God the Son is the theme o Holy

Scripture and God the Spirit is the author authenticator and interpreter

o Holy Scripturerdquo9830951048633

Scripture is holy then because God its ultimate author commissions just

these texts to play a vital and authoritative role in the triune economy o

covenantal communication whereby the Lord dispenses his light (ie rev-

Te gospel is good news or men and women individually but to identiy

the good news with the promise o my ldquogoing to heavenrdquo to be with Jesus

reduces its grandeur It is not simply that ldquoGod has a wonderul plan

or my lierdquo but that ldquoGod has a wonderul plan or all creationrdquo983096983089 In the

reduced version o the gospel the church is either a place rom which to

recruit new converts or an antechamber in which to share onersquos excitement

while waiting or onersquos ride to heaven Tese are admittedly poorly drawn

caricatures the church is ar more wonderul than these Yet the serious

point is that in the ramework o the reduced gospel it is difficult to see

why or even that the church is necessary

Te New estament presents a different picture So does Calvin In his

1048625983093983092983093 Catechism o the Church o Geneva the question concerning the line

in the Apostlesrsquo Creed ldquoI believe in the holy catholic Churchrdquo simply

reads ldquoIs this article necessary to be believedrdquo Te answer is worth pon-

dering ldquoYes truly unless we would render the death o Christ without effect

and account or all that we have said or nothing For this is the sole purpose

o all that there should be a Churchrdquo983096983090 Tough we cannot make a ull-

fledged biblical case or it here we believe that the church is part and parcelo the economy and yes perhaps the very reason or the economy itsel

In the first place the church is the ldquobodyrdquo o Christ (Col 1048625983090983092) and hence

what we could call the theater o evangelical operations Christ is the ldquoheadrdquo

o the body (Col 104862510486251048632) and everything we said above about the blessings the

saved enjoy ldquoin Christrdquo pertains to the church Te church too is a theater

o reconciliation not only a place o the orgiven but a place where or-

giveness happensSecond the coming-to-be o the church is an event in the drama o re-

demption Indeed the sending o the Spirit at Pentecost to create the church

is one o the key divine missions in the economy Something new happens

ldquoin Christrdquo through Pentecost Gentiles who were ormerly not-Godrsquos-people

ldquostrangers to the covenants o promiserdquo (Eph 9830901048625983090) have in Christ ldquobeen

brought near by the blood o Christrdquo (Eph 9830901048625983091) Paul goes on to say that

Christ is himsel our peace or he has made both Jews and Gentiles one ldquoandhas broken down in his flesh the dividing wall o hostilityrdquo (Eph 9830901048625983092) Te

church is the result o this wall coming down the Father in Christ through

the Spirit has created ldquoone new man in place o the twordquo (Eph 9830901048625983093) We see

here that the whole purpose o the cross was not only to reconcile sinners to

God but also to create a new humanity Te church is the eschatological

harbinger o this new reality a living demonstration o what is in Christ

Tird the church is neither an accident nor a parenthesis in Godrsquos plan

Arguably the central plot o the entire Bible is that God is at work ldquoto bring

into being a people under his rule in his placerdquo983096983091 God spent years orming

Israel into a holy nation that would reflect his holiness in the world just as

the first humans were created to be his εἰκών Israel was unable to become

Godrsquos people afer the flesh Significantly Paul calls the church the ldquoIsrael o

Godrdquo (Gal 104863010486251048630) and Peter identifies the church as ldquoa chosen race a royal

priesthood a holy nation a people or his own possessionrdquo (1048625 Pet 9830901048633) Te

purpose o this people moreover is to ldquoproclaim the excellencies o him

who called you out o darkness into his marvelous lightrdquo (1048625 Pet 9830901048633) Te

church is part o the economy o light

Te church is the place where Jesus now reigns and so is a oretaste oheaven on earth Note well we are describing the church not on sociological

but theological terms as it is in Christ through the power o the Spirit Te

church is a theological entity Paul several times reers to the ldquochurch o Godrdquo

(1048625 Cor 10486251048625983090983090 10486259830931048633 Gal 10486251048625983091 983090 Tess 1048625983092 1048625 im 983091983093) Tis is not to deny its earthly

particularity or Paul can also speak about its location ldquoo the church o

God that is at Corinthrdquo (983090 Cor 10486251048625) What this means is that the local church

is an instantiationmdasha reflection perhaps a mirrormdasho the universal churchWe can go urther Te local church precisely because it is ldquoo Godrdquo is

the reality o the new creation in the midst o the old Te churchmdashthe el-

lowship o the saints gathered in a particular placemdashis now the house

where God lives and where Godrsquos will is done Te church is a God-

ordained means o realizing his plan ldquoto unite all things in him [Christ]rdquo

(Eph 10486251048625983088) and thus create ldquoa dwelling place or God by the Spiritrdquo (Eph

983090983090983090) Far rom being an accident or appendix to Godrsquos plan o salvationthen the church is at its apex the church is part o the mystery made known

in Christ It is through the church that ldquothe maniold wisdom o God might

now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places

Tis was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ

Jesus our Lordrdquo (Eph 9830911048625983088-10486251048625) Te church is both part o the economy and

one o its chie dividends

Our intent in this chapter has been to address the of-heard argument that

evangelicalism lacks a distinct doctrinal backbonemdashthat there is no such

thing as a distinctly ldquoevangelicalrdquo theology or i theology is said to be

evangelical that this reers only to the energetic spirit in which it is done

not to any particular doctrinal ocus o recall the problem ldquoTere is no

single essence or one particular condition that will be agreed upon by

all evangelicalsrdquo983096983092

Definitions such as Bebbingtonrsquos insoar as they are descriptions o a

complex sociological group ocus not simply on shared belies but on values

and habitual practices as well By way o contrast our proposal distinguisheswhat we could call the material ormal and final principles o mere evan-

gelical theology Te present chapter has ocused only on the material prin-

ciple the theological substance o the gospel We believe that behind the

mirror o Scripture there are indeed theological realities without which the

evangel would no longer be good news What thereore gives mere evan-

gelical theology its distinct identity is passionately returning again and again

to its anchor in the gospel o God and the God o the gospelmdashand thereorein particular to the wisdom o God made maniest in the oolishness o the

cross (1048625 Cor 1048625983090983093) Indeed a concern to stay anchored in the gospel of God and

the God of the gospel and the biblical discussion that concern generates in

various times and places may be the defining characteristic o the mere

evangelical tradition

In the first place mere evangelical theology espouses ldquostrongrdquo rather than

ldquoweakrdquo rinitarianism

983096983093

An understanding o the rinity is ldquoweakrdquo when ittreats the rinity as simply one doctrine among others It is not We have

argued that the economic rinity is the necessary ramework or preserving

the integrity o the gospel and that the immanent rinity is the necessary

presupposition or preserving the integrity o the economy Mere evangelical

theology holds to ldquostrongrdquo rinitarianism that maintains the doctrine of the

rinity ontological and economic as the structure substance and summary of

the gospel Te rinity is Father Son and Spirit sharing their light and lie in

lovemdashin communicative activity oriented to communion Te debates in the

early church at Nicaea and Chalcedon about the ontology o the Son were

not idle metaphysical speculations but rather urgent soteriological sae-

guards What was ultimately at stake in these debates was not ldquosubstancerdquo

(ousios) but salvation

Tis leads second to a second hallmark o mere evangelical theology a

ldquostrongrdquo rather than ldquoweakrdquo crucicentrism ldquoWeakrdquo crucicentrism views the

85Tere is also ldquoradicalrdquo rinitarianism that mistakenly collapses the immanent rinity into the

historical interactions o Father Son and Spirit See urther Kevin J Vanhoozer ldquoTree (or

cross as an example o a universal principle either Godrsquos love or us or our

love or God983096983094 By way o contrast ldquostrongrdquo crucicentrism views the cross

as the event and place that becomes the hinge o history the decisive turningpoint in the God-world relationship Mere evangelical theology is first and

oremost ldquopassionalrdquomdashpassionate about the passion o Christmdashassuming

that we also take the resurrection to be part and parcel o the cross event o

be sure incarnation and Pentecost are absolutely vital yet their vitality

stems rom their relationship to the cross Te Son took on human orm in

order to humble himsel to the point o death (Phil 9830901048632) Moreover the risen

and ascended Son pours out his Spirit in order to conorm his disciples tohis cruciorm lie983096983095

Tough many aspects o the gospel deserve attention and adoration at its

heart is the message that because o God the incarnate Sonrsquos cross and resur-

rection people rom every tribe and nation can have filial ellowship with

God the Father through God the Holy Spirit Mere evangelical theology is

thus rinity-centric and crucicentric At the center o both these centers

stands the person o Jesus Christ

983096983096

Jesus Christ is the triune Godrsquos com-municative activity oriented to communion made flesh Tus implicit in our

two material principles is a third union with Christ Salvation and thus the

good news ultimately comes to a ldquoheadrdquo in him Jesus Christ is the uniying

principle in him all things hold togethermdashincluding the rinity-centric and

crucicentric principles For what the Son makes possible on the cross is

sharing in his own relationship to the Father filial communion with God

Te substance o mere evangelical theology then includes the material

first principles o the immanent rinity (the who) the cross and resurrection

o Christ (the what ) and union with Christ (the where) Mere evangelical

theology is a worldwide renewal movement within the one church o Jesus

86Tere is also ldquoradicalrdquo crucicentrism that under the rubric ldquothe crucified Godrdquo mistakenly

identifies the suffering o the incarnate Son o God with the suffering o God See urther Van-

hoozer Remythologizing Teology pp 1048625983088983097-10486251048626 or a critique o Juumlrgen Moltmannrsquos radical cru-

Christ a renewal not o a particular conessional statement but of the an-

choring framework itself Mere evangelical theology is the passion to keep

conessional and pietist theology strongly grounded in the rinity and thecrossmdashin a word in the person and work of Jesus Christ

We turn now to consider the ormal principle o mere evangelicalism and

the challenge o wisely discerning whether a particular doctrine practice or

orm o lie is in accordance with the Scriptures or whether it has broken

loose rom its anchor in first evangelical theology and thereby ailed to pre-

serve the integrity o the gospel Cultivating this wisdommdashand the wisdom

to discern which doctrines are essential or the preservation o the gospeland which are only expedient or expendablemdashwill involve ollowing the

economy o light into the domain o the Word namely Scripturersquos authority

and interpretation in the church
