Rhem Minister of Preaching and Theological Inquiry Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Published in The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, Volume XV, Number 2, New Series, 1994, pp. 230-231 This is an important volume because of its strong insistence on the necessity of executing the hermeneutical task in the preparation and delivery of the sermon. The insistence rules out a naive, “I simply preach the Bible.” Following an introductory chapter, “Hermeneutics: A Necessary Art,” by the contributing editor Raymond Bailey, there follow seven chapters, each describing a hermeneutical model, putting the model into practice in the interpretation of a biblical passage, issuing in a sermon on the passage exegeted, and concluding with a brief reflection on the whole process. The seven models described and put to use are as follows: historical, canonical, literary, rhetorical, African-American, philosophical, and theological. The format of these chapters is well conceived. Besides Bailey, six other writers contribute an essay and a sermon each. As is often the case in such collections, there is an uneven quality in the contributions. James Earl Massey executes the intention of the format most successfully with an excellent discussion of AfricanAmerican preaching and an equally excellent example of the hermeneutical perspective put into practice in the sermon. One hopes his review of black preaching might impact all preaching. The other sermons disappoint. Even though the volume as a whole and the individual contributions evidence a familiarity with hermeneutical theory and practice from Schleiermacher to Gadamer and Ricoeur, one fails to find the best insights of the respective models becoming fruitful in the sermons. Rather, the sermons for the most part smack of a kind of individualistic pietism that could be preached with little regard to the interpretive models set forth. The idea of the volume is excellent; the call to hermeneutical consciousness and responsibility imperative; the format is well conceived; the concrete execution is disappointing. © Grand Valley State University   � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Richard A. Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

In 1942 a Recognition School was established by the Navy at Ohio State University where the method of identification was developed. In 1943 the school was taken over by the US Navy. The importance of training in visual recognition of ships and aircraft became even more evident during World War II. Mistakes resulting in costly errors and loss of life led to an increased emphasis on recognition as a vital skill. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource United States.

In 1942 a Recognition School was established by the Navy at Ohio State University where the method of identification was developed. In 1943 the school was taken over by the US Navy. The importance of training in visual recognition of ships and aircraft became even more evident during World War II. Mistakes resulting in costly errors and loss of life led to an increased emphasis on recognition as a vital skill. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource United States.

Title A name given to the resource Insel-Bücherei Series Description An account of the resource The German publishing company Insel Verlag was founded in 1899 by Anton Kippenberg in Leipzig. In its early years the firm only printed expensive, beautifully-produced volumes, until demand led to the publication of the more modest Insel-Bücherei series in 1912. Relatively inexpensive but with the same careful sense of design and typography, these smaller-format books reprinted shorter works from a variety of German, European, and world authors. The series numbers considerably more than a thousand titles and is still being issued.

He is the oldest of four siblings.  Before he entered the service he had graduated high school and had taken one semester of college. He dropped out due to financial issues.  The pay that would come from the Army was very tempting, even though America was in the middle of the Vietnam War.  Because of the school he wanted to attend college on the GI bill, he decided to enter the Army. He was a volunteer, though the draft was very much in effect at the time.  He joined the Army because they had the lowest contract of time that he would have to served, at three years. The Army would also guarantee his education at the school of electronics, for radar. Training: (4:30)         The Army had two types of training: basic training and Advanced Infantry Training, or AIT. His basic training was at Fort Knox. When he trained there, Fort Knox was still focusing on training armored troops, so he would often see tanks and heavy weapons being used. It would often shake him up and distract him from his training. His AIT focused on combat engineering. It was cool for him because he got to blow stuff up. He worked with many different types of mines and plastic explosives while he was there. After his AIT training, he would then spend 8 months of electronics training at the Army Signal School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. As a volunteer in the Army he would spend a year in training that would later help him to get a job, and had two years left. Draftees had to serve two years. So even though he would spend as much time out in the field as draftees, he would have a year of training, which he found very beneficial. When he entered the Army at 19, he at first thought of it as an overgrown Boy Scout camp, so he found it very easy to adapt to military life. �   He said that because he knew when his end date was, it was easy enough to tolerate just about anything. One time while he was in basic training, his commanding officer had told him to “give him ten” which he would reply with a smart alack comment and had to give his CO 20 instead. It would be then that he would earn his “candy stripes” as a sergeant. Adapting to the food and barracks was never a problem for him either. In fact, he would have a certain appreciation for whatever he was given to eat and the bunk in the barracks was no different from his twin bed at home. Post Training: (9:55)     Before he had even joined the Army, he was engaged. The wedding plans were then wrapped around when he would be out of training. He would be married after his training at Fort Monmouth. His social life did not suffer so much. Although he did miss people back home, there were letters to keep in touch and he would make new friends in the Army. The first time he flew in a plane was during his basic training. At first he had taken a jet, which was smooth sailing, and then he had to transfer over to a prop plane, which was a completely different experience. When it was time to go to Vietnam, he would take the longest plane ride he had ever experienced, stopping at many places because there was not a big enough plane to get one halfway round the world at the time. Active Duty (12:55)           He arrived in Vietnam on New Year’s Eve. When he had first got off the plane, he thought to himself ‘Well time to pack up and go home, because it is too hot here.’ He then began looking for experienced soldiers who had been there a while to learn more about the area and what had been happening thus far. When they handed him an M-16, he had no idea what it was. He had trained with an M14 and a Carbine, but definitely not anything like this. When he went to practice with is new weapon, it would be the first time he would shoot a fully-automated weapon. He really enjoyed it. He would arrive in Vietnam the year of the Tet Offensive [1968]. Staying in the Saigon region, he considered himself relatively safe. As a trained radar technician, he would use search radar. He had to learn a little bit about the new radar gun, which was relatively small compared to earlier years. Some of the guys he had worked with lived differently than he had. He considers himself sheltered compared to some of the others. Some of the guys, especially the draftees, around him had trouble being away from home, or just being alone in general. These were hardships that never had bothered him, most likely because he was a volunteer. While he was there, he would also replace a technician who was supposed to test, calibrate and fix any of the equipment that needed attending too. Although this was not �                  the job he trained for, he had the most electronics training and his commander asked him to do this job as well. (19:00) The job itself was fairly simple enough to figure out and he had no trouble adjusting to his new job. The military manuals would be a great help. They worked relatively long days and with a two hour break after chow time that night. Usually they would play volleyball because of the confined space. After that they would go back to work for a couple of hours more. He would return from Vietnam early, near Christmas time. He would work in a machine tool company that creates control tools for different machines. It was a good job. Not long after his return he would have a baby. He would also go back to school for an engineering degree, which was about 9 months after he got back. Although he was in Vietnam for the Tet Offensive, he did not see any actual combat. The mortars however were always annoying. Cu Chi, the base camp where he would stay for most of his service. It was a very large base camp containing a small airstrip. The camp would contain battalion level maintenance. The camp itself was in a relatively safe area, maybe 25-30 miles away from Saigon. In fact, it would probably have been safe enough to travel without a rifle. (26:05) The night that the combat did start he was on bunker duty on the other side of camp, so he never really experienced it. Whenever he did get close to combat it would be the Viet Cong throwing mortars at them. Just when things would start to settle down, they would have more mortars thrown at them. Eventually, he would just sleep in the bunkers. When one of the firebases would need something fixed, he was always given a choice if he wanted to go out there or not. Usually he had the equipment brought to him, though a couple times he did go out there. For the most part it, the chances of being in actual combat were relatively low, unless you volunteered specifically for that. He recalls the ratio of 7 or 8 support units for every combat unit. While he was over there, he would make friends with some of the other electrical engineers, but did not make any lasting friendships. While there was some communication after he got back, there was very little. Communication with the people back home was kind of a joke for him. By the time the letter he sent had gotten back to his loved ones, and they get back to him, he could not really remember what he had written them. Because of the time between giving and receiving letters, it was useless to talk about problems because they were either so bad, there was nothing you could do, or they were solved. Instead it was easier to talk about things like the weather or future plans Receiving letters from home made him feel closer to home. For fun, there were mainly the volleyball games, but there were also card games. But after Tet, they were under a sort of lockdown. To escape the 5 mile camp walls he would volunteer to drive convoy into Saigon. �      On one of those rides, the vehicle in front of him blew up. They thought it was the Vietnamese, but it turned out to be a bad claymore in the trailer itself. (32:30) While he was there he had very little free time. When he did he would read a bit and there would be free time for chapel on Sunday. One of the things he remembers, is on the way to a firebase, his group passed by some Vietnamese working in the rice patties. They weren’t waving like normal so he was worried. Turned out there has been a fight there between the North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese the day before. When they got to the base, they were not allowed to drive out of there, so they had one of the big helicopters fly the truck out of there instead. He considers himself lucky because he has mostly good memories. The only odd jobs he did were in training, like blowing stuff up. He never would use that skill in the field though. Post War: (38:40)            When the war ended he was already out of the service. He had three kids by then and had other things to worry about. The war had become a thing of the past. His end date was a transition for him. Things are different now when it comes to the soldiers who came home from the war. Now they are appreciated for what they have done. Then the soldiers who came home were despised. There was a tremendous amount of racial strife due to the civil changes occurring in the States. It was not the reception that the guys get now. The family would celebrate, but the public opinion was quite different. Adapting back to civilian life was easy for him too. He got a job right away and things went fairly smoothly. The only problem he had was one night when a neighbor’s truck backfired and he hit the floor. It was embarrassing, but it never happened again. He does not maintain any veteran membership. He considered his military life a very positive aspect of his life. He provided him training and money to get him into a school and a job. Like civilian life, there are some things he did not want to do, but you had to do it anyway. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Insel-Bücherei Series Description An account of the resource The German publishing company Insel Verlag was founded in 1899 by Anton Kippenberg in Leipzig. In its early years the firm only printed expensive, beautifully-produced volumes, until demand led to the publication of the more modest Insel-Bücherei series in 1912. Relatively inexpensive but with the same careful sense of design and typography, these smaller-format books reprinted shorter works from a variety of German, European, and world authors. The series numbers considerably more than a thousand titles and is still being issued. The Digital Collection contains the scanned covers of 140 titles held by Grand Valley State University Libraries.
