...the division was not recognized until 1742 and then popularized by mission agencies. ...I return to arguments for the three missionary journey model and argue that a dotted line, not a heavy line, ...should be drawn between the "second" and "third" journeys which reveals more unity between them. "3 Most argue that verse eight functions as the Table of Contents for Acts.4 The rest of the book details how Christ's people are witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and Rome.5 A distinctly geographical, theo-political, and ethnic presentation of the spread of the good news exists in Acts and the order is important.6 However, the difficulty comes in trying to figure out precise divisions within this broad view. ...while there are some good arguments to break the narrative at 19:20, the Ephesian ministry continues after 19:20. Because of these reasons, in the following sections I will no longer address the "summary statement" structural model, though there is some validity to it.
The paper investigates the controversy over the Lord’s Supper between Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Second Church of Boston. We studied the text of Emerson’s sermon against the Lord’s Supper ...ascertaining possible theological divisions among the church members on the issues of Christ’s true nature and authority, as well as the meaning of bread and wine of the Communion. We reveal how the pastor foreshadowed the assumed reactions of his listeners while working on the text of his sermon. Searching for adequate contexts for our interpretations we have demonstrated how “The Essay on the Lord’s Supper” by the Rev. F.W.P. Greenwood is related to Emerson’s stand against the rite.

This book explores how Mary is presented in the sermons of Lutheran pastors in the 16th century. It focuses on the treatment of Mary, the continuities and changes in theologies about her, and her ...presentation beginning with Martin Luther and continuing with clergy in the Lutheran tradition. It is shown that Lutheran preachers have transformed the traditional image of Mary — she no longer serves as the powerful Queen of Heaven, but is seen as a meek, pious, chaste and obedient girl. Because of the theological changes introduced by Luther and the Lutheran clergy, Mary could no longer be portrayed as an active figure, but must serve as a passive representative of the faithful Christian.
