Bambara problematica Darby, E 2014
No full text? Bambara problematica Darby 2014 (Fig. 4E) Remarks: A single specimen possibly of the very variable B. problematica Darby originally described from Madagascar and not known from any other country. The short arm of the receptacle appears to be longer and more pointed than that of B. problematica but this could be the result of air being trapped inside the adjoining duct (Fig. 4E).

A Critical Examination of the Ecclesiology of John Nelson Darby
No full textThis thesis examines the ecclesiology, or doctrine of the church, of John Nelson
Darby (1800-1882), who was one of the leading and most prominent members of the
Plymouth Brethren in the nineteenth century.
The thesis systematically outlines the structure of Darby's thought on the subject of
ecclesiology. It explains how Darby defined the church and understood its nature.
His ecclesiology is shown to be foundational to the system of Dispensationalist
theology in that the church is seen in occupying a period of time unforeseen in
biblical prophecy. Darby's ecclesiology is also shown to be an ecclesiology of crisis
in that he believed that the church had fallen into such a state of ruin that no bodies
existed that could truly be described as churches.
The thesis considers Darby's solution to the ruin or failure of the church found in
'meeting in the name of the Lord.' It examines how Darby's view of how the church
should meet successfully synthesized the conflicting concepts of unity and separation.
It suggests that other writers have not always recognized how Darby distinguished
between separation from individuals and separation from institutions. Nevertheless
while arguing that Darby's ecclesiology achieved a stable synthesis between unity and
separation, it presents a number of practical problems with Darby's ecclesiology.
Attention is given to Darby's teaching on discipline, ministry, church government and
sacraments.
The thesis considers his ecclesiology within a number of contexts. First, its place
within the development of ecclesiology in theological history and in relation
specifically to modem ecclesiologies. Second, in his life and involvement with the
Brethren movement. Third, his role in the development of American fundamentalism,
a major proportion of which has adopted significant aspects of his theology,
particularly Dispensationalism, a form of millennial theology that makes a strong
distinction between the church and the nation of Israel within salvation history. This
thesis argues that while some American fundamentalists adopted Darby's
dispensational views, they found very different practical applications for them in their
ecclesiastical activity. A number of reasons are considered as to why they did not
adopt Darby's ecclesiology in its entirety. Fourthly, the thesis considers the place of
Darby's ecclesiology in relation to other ecclesiastical movements in nineteenth
century Britain. It argues that Darby's ecclesiology shared similar themes to three
ecclesiastical movements
