Melbourne College of Divinity 1910-2010
This issue of <i>Pacifica</i> is dedicated to the centenary of the Melbourne College of Divinity (1910-2010), the major sponsor of the journal. It contains articles composed by a representative selection of teachers and scholars from across the College, headed by a selective overview of the history of the College composed by the current Dean, Professor Paul Beirne. As a tribute to the MCD from a fellow institution, the Adelaide College of Divinity, <i>Pacifica</i> is also happy to include an article by a leading scholar of that institution, Dr Denis Edwards.
Volume 23
The beginning of the academic year, as the first article in this issue reflects, is not only a time to gather but also a time when people and ideas are scattered in various ways for the sake of theological education. The subsequent articles in this issue indeed provide evidence for the variety and potential of theology, exploring the presence of God in scripture, culture, liturgy, and the tension between science and theology.
