When William of Ockham lectured on Lombard’s Sentences in 1317-1319, he articulated a new theory of knowledge. Its reception by fourteenth-century scholars was, however, largely negative, for it conflicted with technical accounts of vision and with their interprations of Duns Scotus. This study begins with Roger Bacon, a major source for later scholastics’ efforts to tie a complex of semantic and optical explanations together into an account of concept formation, truth and the acquisition of certitude. After considering the challenges of Peter Olivi and Henry of Ghent, Part I concludes with a discussion of Scotus’s epistemology. Part II explores the alternative theories of Peter Aureol and William of Ockham. Part III traces the impact of Scotus, and then of Aureol, on Oxford thought in the years of Ockham’s early audience, culminating with the views of Adam Wodeham. Part IV concerns Aureol’s intellectual legacy at Paris, the introduction of Wodeham’s thought there, and Autrecourt’s controversies.

"In Acts 26:19 the apostle Paul said, 'I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.' In this book I am burdened that we would see six visions: the vision of Christ, the vision of the church, the vision of the Body, the vision of the self, the vision of the world, and the vision of consecration."

This issue of The Ministry of the Word contains the three messages from the Southern California Blending Conference and Messages 4 and 5 from the special conference held in Anaheim, California, respectively, on June 10-11 and February 17-19, 2017. The general subject of the blending conference is "The Vision, Ministry, and Ministers of the Age." In every age there is a particular vision given by God, a specific ministry of that age, and a minister or ministers used by God to fulfill their commission to bear, release, and trumpet the ministry of that age. In every age God gives a particular vision that guards, controls, and governs His people so that they may serve Him according to the vision of that age. The governing vision of the Bible is the Triune God working Himself into His chosen and redeemed people in order to saturate their entire being with the Divine Trinity for the producing and building up of the Body of Christ consummating in the New Jerusalem. The vision that the Lord has given to His recovery is an all-inclusive vision--the all-inheriting vision of the age. Our vision extends all the way from Adam's vision of the tree of life in the garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem with the tree of life. The ministry of this age builds up the Body of Christ, which is to build up the New Jerusalem; prepares the bride of Christ, which is to prepare the New Jerusalem because the New Jerusalem is the bride of Christ; and brings in the kingdom of God, the ultimate manifestation and consummation of which is the New Jerusalem. Therefore, the ministry of this age fulfills the direction of the Lord's move today. The ministry of the age ministers the present truth to God's people. The present truth, the highest peak of the divine revelation given to us by God through the ministry of this age, is the revelation of the eternal economy of God. God becoming man so that man might become God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead is the essence of the entire Bible, the "diamond" in the "box" of the Bible, the eternal economy of God. God and man will become one entity, and that one entity is the mingling of divinity with humanity, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem, the conclusion of the entire Bible. The ministers of the age are those who have the vision of the age and the ministry of the age and know what God is speaking and doing in the present age. The ministers of the age are patterns to the believers so that they may be perfected to do the work of the ministry for the building up of the Body of Christ. The ministers of the age have four characteristics: First, they are men who allow their natural ability to be terminated by the cross so that all their ability is in resurrection. Second, they are tree-of-life persons. Third, they know the central work of God. Fourth, they pay more attention to life than to work. The general subject of the special conference is "Special Fellowship concerning the World Situation and the Lord's Move." Messages 4 and 5 of this special conference were spoken in English and therefore are included in this issue. The following statement encapsulates the burden of the conference: The Announcements section at the end of this issue contains a list of upcoming conferences and trainings hosted by Living Stream Ministry and a website link for information related to similar events in Europe.

Over the course of six months during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Titus Chu shared twenty messages to the church in Cleveland on the topic of "Visions and Revelations." The messages were recorded and posted on the church website, allowing them to be enjoyed by other saints and local churches around the world. This sharing was meant not only to give spiritual supply and encouragement to the saints who were isolated and quarantined at home during this time, but also to be the core of the fellowship and spiritual pursuing of the church. Therefore, the context of these messages was not individual enjoyment alone, but a local church with saints pursuing the Lord together in fellowship. We editors feel this is also the best context for Jesus lovers and seekers enjoying these messages in the future. Though each message is quite high and heavenly, brother Chu's desire was that everything shared could be practically applied to our daily lives and today's need, in turn practically affecting our church life. The first eight messages of the series are presented in this volume as spoken, with only light edits to change them into readable form. We editors have done our best to maintain the flavor and character of the spoken sharing. Most direct references to the pandemic have been made more general for the benefit of future readers, although some specific examples have been kept for the sake of the point being made. We trust readers will find helpful applications in their own settings and environments.The messages in this volume cover the various visions God gave surrounding the birth of Jesus and the beginning of His ministry. At this time, the age of Law was turning to the age of grace, and God gave numerous visions to bring people into a realization of what He really desired. He is gracious, He longs to give grace and lead us and be with us in ways that are so much more intimate than the nation of Israel could experience under the Old Covenant. Consequently, these messages challenge us to leave our old ways, habits and old patterns, and call us to be brought into something new and fresh of God's heart through visions and revelations. By receiving fresh vision from God, we can follow Him more clearly, buoyantly, and with more reality than before.Visions and revelations demand a response from us. These stories from the New Testament demonstrate, on the one hand, the danger of a lack of proper response-seen in Zacharias's initial reaction and in the examples of the chief priests, the scribes, and even John the Baptist. On the other hand, they reveal the blessing to those who pay a price to gain the reality of their vision-seen in Zacharias's eventual realization and the examples of the shepherds, Mary, and the wise men. May these messages not only reveal more of God's heart to us, but also provide us with a supply of life and grace to respond and follow faithfully.We feel it is profitable to note not only the background and purpose of these messages, but also the man who gave them. Titus Chu is a man of vision, and his life and ministry have been marked by always fighting to see more and to labor accordingly. In this way, he follows in the pattern of the apostle Paul, whose Christian life began with a vision on the road to Damascus-a great vision of Christ and the church. Then, later in his life, Paul also wrote to the church in Corinth, "I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord" (2 Cor. 12:1b). The great heavenly vision had become, or produced, many more visions and revelations.
