    'Giving honour to the Spirit' : a critical analysis and evaluation of the doctrine of pneumatological union in the Trinitarian theology of Jonathan Edwards in dialogue with Karl Barth

    No full text
    The extent to which the 'honour' of the Spirit influenced the theology of Jonathan Edwards is a hitherto underdeveloped theme. Against a backdrop of Patristic thought and in dialogue with the theology of Karl Barth, evaluation is made of pneumatological union in Edwards' Trinitarian theology as this centres on the nature and inter-relatedness of the 'three unions' that characterize his theology: the union of the three Persons of the Trinity, the union of the saints with God, and the union of the divine and human natures of Christ. Edwards' seeks to honour the Spirit as the mutual love of the Father for the Son within his Augustinian, Lockean model of the immanent Trinity, and as 'Person' in the economy. The challenges of doing so within the limits of this psychological model of the Trinity are evaluated in dialogue with the Cappadocian Fathers and Barth. In a manner patterned after union in the Trinity, Edwards gave prominence to the concept of the pneumatological union of the saints with God in Christ, in fulfilment of the self-glorifying purpose of God in creation and redemption. Edwards' experiential theology of conversion, and his elevation of subjective sanctification by the Spirit over objective justification in Christ, for assurance, is contrasted with Barth's greater emphases on the Christological union of God with humanity and objective justification in Christ. Barth's more contemplative approach is contrasted with the overly introspective spirituality of Edwards. Edwards' view of the role of the Spirit in the hypostatic union of God with humanity in Christ, which is reflective of the other unions, is also evaluated in light of Patristic, Reformed-Puritan and Barthian thought on the nature of the humanity Christ assumed, and the doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ. A more emphatic incarnational emphasis may have saved Edwards' Spirit- honouring spirituality from an anthropocentricity which is ironical given that the glory of God is his ontic doxological concern

    Difference and belonging, hopes and fears: parenting ‘mixed’ children and the implications for career development

    Rosalind Edwards, Professor in Social Policy and Director of the Families & Social Capital Research Group, at London South Bank University, discusses parenting issues and their implications for career development at the CeGS 10th Annual Lecture held at the University of Derby on 18th December 2007. Rosalind has researched and published widely on a range of issues concerning family policy, with a focus on the perspectives of family members themselves. Her recent book publications include: Assessing Social Capital (ed. with J. Holland and J. Franklin, 2007, Cambridge Scholars Press); Sibling Identity and Relationships: Sisters and Brothers (with L. Hadfield, H. Lucey and M. Mauthner, 2006, Routledge); Making Families: Moral Tales of Parenting and Stepparenting (with J. Ribbens McCarthy and V. Gillies, 2003, Sociology Press) and Children, Home and School: Resistance, Autonomy or Connection? (ed., 2002, Routledge Falmer). Rosalind's report (with C. Caballero and S.Puthussery) on 'Parenting 'mixed' children: negotiating difference and belonging in mixed race, ethnicity and faith families' will be published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation later this year. Rosalind is also co-editor of the International Journal of Social Research Methodology

    Four years' experience with the Edwards-Tekna bileaflet valve prosthesis

    Background and aim of the study: Although over 20,000 Edwards-Duromedics valves were implanted worldwide between 1982 and May 1988, use of the valve was voluntarily suspended by the manufacturer in May 1988 on the basis of reported leaflet escapes. In 1990, a modified version was introduced to the market, the Edwards-Tekna. The study aim was to evaluate the short-term outcome with this revised valve. Methods: Between 1994 and 1998, 137 patients (67 males, 70 females; mean age 36.3 +/- 9.1 years) underwent heart valve replacement with the Edwards-Tekna prosthesis. Among these patients, 72 had isolated mitral valve replacement, 59 isolated aortic valve replacement, and six double-valve replacement. Results: Early hospital mortality was 0.72% (n = 1). Follow up was 95% complete (1291136 patients discharged from hospital). Mean follow up was 24.9 +/- 10.5 months (range: 2 to 48 months); total follow up was 282.9 patient-years (pt-yr). Actuarial freedom from complications at two-year follow up and linearized incidence (%/pt-yr) of these events were: late mortality 87.8 +/- 8.5% (1.77%/pt-yr); thromboembolism 89.8 +/- 4.9% (2.12%/pt-yr); anticoagulation-related bleeding 97.8 +/- 1.5% (0.71%/pt-yr); prosthetic valve endocarditis 99.1 +/- 0.9% (0.35%/pt-yr); valve-related mortality 98.2 +/- 1.2% (0.71%/pt-yr); and valve-related morbidity and mortality 85.0 +/- 5.0% (4.24%/pt-yr). There was no structural valve failure such as leaflet escape in this series. Clinically significant hemolysis was not encountered (mean postoperative plasma LDH level 345 +/- 124 IU/l). Preoperatively, 69% of patients were in NYHA classes III/IV; at two years postoperatively 90% of survivors were in classes I/II. Conclusion: The Edwards-Tekna mechanical valve prosthesis has shown excellent overall clinical performance in the short term, though long-term data are needed to confirm its durability
