The Impact

Charles Van Engen’s book Transforming Mission Theology is reviewed, highlighting the integration of biblical, theological, contextual, and personal domains in the development of mission theology. The book is noteworthy for its balance of diverse perspectives, its depth of insight, its awareness of the impact of globalization on the local church, and its balance of ecumenical and evangelical perspectives.

Descriptive Writing

The Great Commission of the Lord Jesus commanded every believer to go make all nations. This is an important mandate called an evangelistic mandate. But there is no denying that many of God's churches or believers are not serious about carrying out the mandate of evangelism which is God's desire to bring believers to Him. The author tries to contribute to the understanding of one of the methods in evangelism, evangelism explosion method as an evangelistic method is quite effective for the growth of the local church. In obtaining accurate and accountable data, the author uses descriptive writing methods of literature. The purpose of this writing is to convey how important evangelism is in the local congregation. Then through evangelism the evangelism explosion method became a very effective method of bringing people to accept Jesus as Lord, and the Savior personally. In addition, local congregations can play an active role in evangelism. The impact of the application of this method experienced the maximum growth of the congregation and evangelism into the lifestyle of believers.Keyword : Evangelism Explosion, Local Church AbstrakAmanat Agung Tuhan Yesus memerintahkan setiap orang percaya untuk pergi menjadikan semua bangsa. Ini merupakan mandat penting yang disebut mandat penginjilan. Namun tidak bisa dipungkiri, banyak gereja Tuhan atau orang percaya tidak serius dalam melaksanakan mandat penginjilan yang merupakan keinginan Tuhan untuk membawa orang percaya kepada-Nya. Penulis mencoba memberikan kontribusi pemahaman salah satu metode dalam penginjilan, yaitu metode evangelism explosion sebagai metode penginjilan cukup efektif bagi pertumbuhan gereja lokal. Di dalam mendapatkan data-data yang akurat dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan, penulis menggunakan metode penulisan deskriptif literatur. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah menyampaikan betapa pentingnya sebuah penginjilan dalam jemaat lokal. Kemudian  melalui metode penginjilan dengan evangelism explosion menjadi metode yang sangat efektif dalam membawa orang menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan, dan Juruselamat secara pribadi. Selain itu jemaat lokal dapat berperan aktif dalam penginjilan. Dampak dari penerapan metode ini mengalami pertumbuhan jemaat yang maksimal dan penginjilan menjadi gaya hidup orang percaya.Kata Kunci : Evangelism Explosion, Gereja Lokal

AbstractThis contribution offers a retrospective on the events of the year 2017 in Germany from the perspective of the Special Envoy for the Reformation Anniversary (of the EKD). It highlights individual climaxes such as the Kirchentag or the World Exhibition of the Reformation in Wittenberg and appreciates the spirit of ecumenical openness and the global horizon of the celebrations. It also discusses some challenges for present-day Christianity, namely preaching in an environment that is both secular and multi-religious. According to the author, it will be decisive to keep the impact of the anniversary alive in the local church communities beyond the year 2017.

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The Impact

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

The Impact

AbstractWhilst lithopanspermia depends upon massive impacts occurring at a speed above some limit, the intact delivery of organic chemicals or other volatiles to a planet requires the impact speed to be below some other limit such that a significant fraction of that material escapes destruction. Thus the two opposite ends of the impact speed distributions are the regions of interest in the bioastronomical context, whereas much modelling work on impacts delivers, or makes use of, only the mean speed. Here the probability distributions of impact speeds upon Mars are calculated for (i) the orbital distribution of known asteroids; and (ii) the expected distribution of near-parabolic cometary orbits. It is found that cometary impacts are far more likely to eject rocks from Mars (over 99 percent of the cometary impacts are at speeds above 20 km/sec, but at most 5 percent of the asteroidal impacts); paradoxically, the objects impacting at speeds low enough to make organic/volatile survival possible (the asteroids) are those which are depleted in such species.

The Impact

AbstractA large amount of CO has been detected above many SL9/Jupiter impacts. This gas was never detected before the collision. So, in our opinion, CO was released from a parent compound during the collision. We identify this compound as POM (polyoxymethylene), a formaldehyde (HCHO) polymer that, when suddenly heated, reformes monomeric HCHO. At temperatures higher than 1200°K HCHO cannot exist in molecular form and the most probable result of its decomposition is the formation of CO. At lower temperatures, HCHO can react with NH3 and/or HCN to form high UV-absorbing polymeric material. In our opinion, this kind of material has also to be taken in to account to explain the complex evolution of some SL9 impacts that we observed in CCD images taken with a blue filter.
