Thesis (Ph.D.)--Regent University, 2024.

This dissertation focuses on inquiry regarding the revelation from those attending the first Church Council in Acts 15 that their decision seemed good to them and the Holy Spirit (Acts 15:28). Of particular focus is investigating and proposing how it is that they discern it seemed good to the Holy Spirit. To address this question, this study enlists scholars representing a broad spectrum of traditions within Christianity, and due to the intertextual nature of the assembly's arguments and backgrounds, employs several methodologies. The methods appropriated for this task significantly interrelate but fall under a broadly narratological approach. These methods, provide insight for a theological approach seeking to discern divine desires and purposes through germane Scriptural revelation. Through scriptural observation, theological and cultural analysis, and scholarly engagement, this work unearths the divine trajectories of God's word, God's Spirit, and God's community, all within a trinitarian framework. The investigation traces these trajectories discovering their convergence at the point of the Council's decision. Such a convergence strongly indicates their discernment of the divine; their decision does indeed seem good to the Holy Spirit. Additionally, certain implications are discussed regarding Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, hermeneutics, and revelation both for the Church as well as individual Christians. Also considered is the potential impact of this work regarding future Acts studies in general and studies into Acts 15 specifically. One recurring reality throughout the dissertation is the recognition of God's activity, particularly through the renewing work of the Holy Spirit, in and through Scripture and the Church. Such recognition of the Holy Spirit with a Christological focus through a trinitarian framework within the safeguards of Scripture aligns well with what is called{A0}"renewal theology." Such theology has much to offer in disclosing a greater dimension and hope regarding the question of how the voice of God is discerned amidst the sea of voices clamoring for attention.
