The Duke Divinity School Review (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Review This issue of the Divinity School Review presents several occasional pieces which have come out of the recent life of the Divinity School. Each of these pieces issues a call to faithful stewardship of our special responsibilities. At the installation of Dean Jameson Jones, Dr. Leon Pacala, the Executive Director of the Association of Theological Schools, challenged our institution to excellence. As an initial part of our response, we went to share Dr. Pacala's vision with our alumni and friends. Dr. W. D. Davies retired at the end of the 1980-81 academic year. He has brought distinction to Duke as a New Testament scholar of international prominence. He has also been a teacher, colleague, and friend to many in the Divinity School. In a sermon and an address, both delivered in his last year, Dr. Davies reflects on his time at Duke and, through recollection, set goals for the future. Dr. Robert E. Cushman has always served the church by active service and acute reflection upon its life. In the present article, he brings his unusual theological sensitivity to bear upon the practical organization of church life as he challenges Methodists to make their polity congruent with their doctrinal commitments. Dr. Cushman continues to teach the Spring Semester of each year in the Divinity school. The present time is, for the Divinity School, one of transition and renewal under the leadership of Dean Jameson Jones. It is appropriate that we heed the past and set clear goals for a distinctive future. These articles serve to remind us of and claim our efforts for our special tasks.
