Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Theology – Systematic Theology, grade: 4.0, , course: Report to the Board of Trustees, language: English, abstract: A monograph by Dr. Michael A. Milton on the Biblical- theological support for partnerships to fulfill the mission of God in the world. The author notes the New Testament Greek word used by Saint Pail to describe coalitions for good is a derivative of the Greek root ‘koinonia, ‘ i.e., ‘fellowship.’ The author urges that partnerships are anthropomorphic extensions of the eternal triune Godhead. The author contends for three categories of partnerships: denominational partnerships, evangelical partnerships, and common grace partnerships. Each type of coalition is described. The third of the classes, ‘common grace, ‘ is compared to the late Francis Schaeffer’s ‘Co-belligerents.’ The monograph closes with the principle operating commitment of the prospective parties of a partnership: ‘cooperation without compromise.’ The author cited a historical example of common grace partnerships in the ministry of the Right Reverend Dr. Benjamin Morgan Palmer (1818-1902), pastor of First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans. The monograph includes a bibliography on the subject.
