Author Meets Critics: Responding to Daniel Castelo’s Pentecostalism as a Christian Mystical Tradition
No full textExcept: Daniel Castelo’s Pentecostalism as a Christian Mystical Tradition is a theological monograph, but, like the movement he seeks to categorize, Castelo’s work transcends traditional disciplinary lines. As a historian, my comments aim to show what Castelo’s categorical work does for historians seeking to explore and understand the movement. My response analyzes the categories present within Castelo’s title and explicated throughout the book: Pentecostalism, Christian mysticism, and tradition

The development of New Life Christian Academy: a resourceful K-5 to twelfth grade christian school established in a rural setting on St. Helena Island, South Carolina, 2013
No full textThis dissertation will address the implementation of New Life Christian Academy (NLCA), a Christian Education School, produced out of New Life Deliverance Temple (NLDT), in St. Helena Island, South Carolina. The desire was to target students who have a desire in educational and spiritual achievements regardless of race, creed or religion. Parents who have become disillusioned with the Beaufort County public school system will be presented the progress of the current students at NLCA, who have transferred from the public school setting. The researcher founded the school by merging a homeschool run by a parent of NLDT and a new school which had never been operational. The advantage the researcher has concerning this project is that he was responsible for the grassroots implementation orchestrating every step from changing the county code allowing a school to locating modular buildings to house the school. NLDT is not considered a mega ministry (2,000 or more membership) nor is the church located in a major metropolis, but on a dirt road in a rural section of St. Helena Island. Though the church possessed meager funds, this lack of capital did not prevent the pursuit of building a Christian school on church property. The researcher formed a board to assist in searching for rules and regulations so that the school will be in compliance. The first teacher hired by NLCA was Mrs. Mary Bolles who started her homeschool and was very well versed in Christian and secular education. NLCA has formed relationships between parent, teacher and student resulting in increased communication. The empirical data to assist in developing the foundation for the school will include: (a) Surveys conducted showing how the children have transitioned into the Christian/ Secular educational setting, (b) Showing how other Christian Schools operate within Beaufort Schools, (c) Data which will confirm the weaknesses of area county schools, and (d) surveys which will aid in satisfying the needs of students, staff and parents. Theologically, the Biblical basis for the school was discovered in Daniel the first chapter, showing four youths who had been forcibly removed from their native land and were successful in enemy territory, not compromising their Jewish values. The objective remains to parallel this Biblical past into a current motif which will allow the student to experience holistic curriculums of education, enabling them to meet lifes challenges, utilizing a Christian perspective
Church and state in religious education 1944-1984: a critical survey of trends in England from the point of view of the Christian parent with special reference to the Christian schools movement
No full textAt the end of the forty year period 1944-1984 a minority of Christian parents in England and Wales were expressing their disquiet at trends in Education in general, and Religious Education in particular. The five year research project 1979-1984 was primarily aimed at communicating their concept of events, and their aspirations, to those who, having had their attention drawn to the actions of the dissenting parents, wondered what sort of thinking inspired those actions. For those inclined to regard the parents as on the Christian fringe, evidence is presented to show that on the contrary they were mainly the orthodox, and in line with mainstream Christianity, as delineated by the historic creeds. The argument of this thesis is that the parents were a grass-roots reaction to a creeping revisionism that affected Christian thinking on education in the Protestant sector, but did not similarly affect the Roman Catholic sector
Indigenization of theology worship in the Anglican Church of Congo
No full textThis was submitted as a partial fulfillment of the award of the Master of Arts in Theology Degree of the Bishop Tucker School of Divinity and Theology, Uganda Christian UniversityFor J.M. Waliggo, inculturation means the honest and serious attempt to make Christ and message of salvation ever more understood by peoples of every culture, locality and time. In this dissertation the author presents indigenization of worship in the Anglican Church of Congo. In order to assess how African traditional music and prayer serve as a means to express the African traditional religious life, the author examines African traditional religious heritage. The author asserts that music and prayer are fundamental elements in divine worship and that they have been used in the biblical era and in the history of the Christian Church. The author recommends that if the Anglican Church of Congo wants to create worship which is relevant, authentic and meaningful to her Christians, she needs to indigenize her liturgy
Price Daniel: the life of a public man, 1910--1956
No full textSince first winning public office in 1938, Price Daniel has held more high state elective positions than any person in Texas history. He began as a state legislator, then in 1943 became speaker of the House of Representatives. Three years later he was elected attorney general and served three terms before winning a seat in the United States Senate. In 1956 he won the governorship and remained in office until January, 1963. Then in 1971 he became an associate justice of the Texas Supreme Court. During that portion of his career covered by this study Daniel never accurately fit any political label. He was characterized most clearly, however, by his devotion to principle, his penchant for taking firm stands. For example, as a state legislator he fought vehemently against a sales tax and, despite strong opposition from Governor W. Lee O'Daniel and some large business interests, refused to waver. Then, while attorney general, he waged influential crusades against price-fixing and organized gambling. Most important, however, was his defense of the Texas tidelands, his belief that the state, according to the terms upon which it entered the Union, was entitled to all submerged lands and minerals three leagues into the Gulf of Mexico. Although losing in the Supreme Court, he continued to fight for legislation which would verify the Texas claim and to oppose resolutely any form of compromise. In 1953, as a member of the Senate, he brought his struggle to a successful conclusion by co-sponsoring legislation which confirmed state ownership. Throughout his Senate years, especially as an advocate of stringent narcotics legislation, he continued to labor unswervingly for those causes which he deemed right. The author relied heavily on several primary sources. Contemporary newspaper accounts as well as numerous interviews with Daniel and other key people were invaluable. For attorney general and Senate information, the Daniel Papers in the Texas State Archives were especially helpful. In addition, Daniel's personal files at his Liberty, Texas residence proved indispensable in preparing the sections on tidelands and narcotics developments

The Iconography of Daniel Between the Lions on the Celtic Crosses
No full textThe author presents iconography of Daniel between the lions on the crosses, which were made in Ireland and Scotland in the period 8th-12th centuries. This scene is represented on eleven Irish crosses (Kells, Kilree, Moone, Casteldermot, Galoon, Clones, Arboe, Drumcliff) and on two crosses from Scotland (Iona, Maigle). The author divides all scenes with Daniel between the lions on three groups: Daniel with two lions, Daniel with four lions, Daniel with seven lions. The autor states that scene with Daniel symbolizes on the Celtic Crosses very important step of the spiritual ladder to the heaven. This idea was basic for the monastic live of Irish monks in Christian Ireland
The Bible in imperial Japan, 1850-1950
No full textThis thesis undertakes to apply some of the insights from postcolonial criticism to understand the history of Christianity in Japan, focusing on key Christian thinkers in the period since Japan’s national isolation ended in the mid 19th century.
It studies these theologians' interaction with the the Bible as a “canonical” text in the Western civilisation, arguing for a two-way connection between Japan’s reception of Christianity and reaction to the West. In particular, it considers the process through which Christianity was employed to support or criticise Japan’s colonial discourse against neighbouring Asian countries. In this process, I argue that interpretation of the Bible was a political act, informed not simply by the text itself, but also by the interpreter’s positionality in the society.
The thesis starts by reviewing the history of Christianity in Japan. The core of the thesis consists of three chapters, each of which considers the thought of two contemporaries. Ebina Danjo (1866-1937) and Uchimura Kanzo (1861-1930) were two first-generation Christians who converted to Christianity through missionaries from the United States, and responded to Japan’s westernisation and military expansion from opposite perspectives. Kagawa Toyohiko (1888-1960) and Yanaihara Tadao (1893-1961) spoke about the country’s situation in the years preceding the Asia-Pacific War (1941-1945), and again reached two different conclusions. Nagai Takashi (1908-1951) and Kitamori Kazo (1916-1998) were Christian voices immediately after the war, and both dealt with the issue of suffering. Each chapter explores how the formation of their thoughts was driven by their particular historical, economic, and social backgrounds. The concluding chapter outlines Christian thought in Japan today and deals with the major issue facing Japanese theology: cultural essentialism
The cultivation of bodily self-experience in the English early modern literary garden
No full textIn conversation with the early modern horticultural handbooks and new phenomenology studies, this project examines the literary garden to better understand how early moderns imagined the affective exchange between their humoral bodies and garden. Recently, new body scholarship has tended to emphasize an early modern embodied subject who is open to a continuously changing environment that wreaks havoc on the early modern subject and his or her embodied affectivity. It is argued that this supposed exchange did not confer a sense of an autonomous self, but rather an unstable self. However, one problem with these findings is their assumption that the environment was unmanageable. Studying the garden in early modern literature and guidebooks sheds light on the debate by showing the degree to which early moderns believed they could manage their environment and shape their embodied subjectivity. I maintain that the garden is central in this regard because it was envisioned as a highly cultivated environment designed to produce foreseeable humoral affects upon the embodied subjects who entered. To this end, I examine the gardens in three significant texts of the period, arguing that each author employs the garden in his or her work to demonstrate how one's self-experience can be shaped and managed through the garden to impact their sense of selfhood and contribute in the formation of a national and/or personal identity. Gender is also a focus throughout my discussion, and my final chapter looks at how Mary Wroth employs the garden in her sonnet sequence as a place to direct her internal climate and represent her embodied self. Included are chapters on Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene, William Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Mary Wroth's Pamphilia to Amphilanthus, concluding with a look at Milton's Paradise Lost in the epilogue--Abstract
