Public worship and practical theology in the work of Benjamin Keach (1640-1704)
No full textThe late seventeenth century was a critical and fruitful period
for the Particular Baptists of England. Severely persecuted following
the Restoration, toleration in 1689 brought its own perils.
Particular Baptists were fortunate in having several strong leaders,
especially the London trio of Hanserd Knollys, William Kiffin, and
Benjamin Keach. Such a small and severely persecuted group as the
Baptists could afford little time for academic pursuits, thus of
necessity most of their theology was practical in nature.
Benjamin Keach (1640-1704) was the most outstanding practical
theologian among the English Particular Baptists of the late
seventeenth century. This dissertation is a study of Keach, in
particular his writings on public worship and practical theology.
Although Keach was a prolific author, he has been almost completely
neglected by scholars.
After a biographical sketch of Keach, this study considers his
writings on public worship and practical theology. In the area of
worship, Keach made two outstanding contributions: First, he was the
most vocal apologist for Baptist views on Baptism of his period.
Secondly, and more importantly, his hymn writing and defense of hymn
singing broke new ground, not just for Baptists, but for English
Protestantism, in general. In addition to his contributions in these
areas, he also dealt with the laying on of hands and the sabbath day
worship controversy.
Keach's contributions to practical theology fall into two main
groups: his writings that concern religious education and those that
deal with polity. In addition to these, Keach's vigorous advocacy of
a high Calvinist soteriology are also considered under the rubric of
practical theology. Keach's most important (although not his most
positive) contribution in this area were his soteriological writings.
Although well within the bounds of orthodoxy, some of the tendencies
in Keach's soteriology were taken up by the following generation of
Baptist leaders and developed into a stultifying hyper-Calvinism that
handicapped Baptist evangelism and missions.
In the conclusion, Keach's contributions to a theory of practical
theology are considered

Some new thoughts founded upon new principles, concerning a threefold motion of the earth. [electronic resource] : The rectification of the Kallender. The flowing and ebbing of the sea. The nature of the magnet. The variation of the compass. The cause of sea currents, and trade winds. The various motions of all the clestial orbs. The finding out the true place of the moon. And facilitating the discovery of the longitude. Not before thought of, or not offer'd to the World in this Manner. Most Humbly propos'd, and offer'd to the Consideration of the Learned and Ingenious, as Subjects of further Contemplation and Improvement. But in a more particular Manner to the Honourable, the Learned, and Ingenious Gentlemen of the Royal Society. By B. H. J.

Time-window for sensitivity to cooling distinguishes the effects of hypothermia and protein synthesis inhibition on the consolidation of long-term memory
No full textThe effects of hypothermia on memory formation have been examined extensively, and while it is clear that post-training cooling interferes with the process of consolidation, the nature of the temperature sensitive processes disrupted in this way remain poorly defined. Post-training manipulations that disrupt consolidation tend to be effective during specific time-windows of sensitivity, the timing and duration of which are directly related to the mechanism through which the treatment induces amnesia. As such, different treatments that target the same basic processes should be associated with similar time-windows of sensitivity. Using this rationale we have investigated the possibility that cooling induced blockade of long-term memory (LTM) stems from the disruption of protein synthesis. By varying the timing of post-training hypothermia we have determined the critical period during which cooling disrupts the consolidation of appetitive long-term memory in the pond snail Lymnaea. Post-training hypothermia was found to disrupt LTM only when applied immediately after conditioning, while delaying the treatment by 10 min left the 24 h memory trace intact. This brief (<10 min) window of sensitivity differs from the time-window we have previously described for the protein synthesis inhibitor anisomycin, which was effective during at least the first 30 min after conditioning [Fulton, D., Kemenes, I., Andrew, R. J., & Benjamin, P. R. (2005). A single time-window for protein synthesis-dependent long-term memory formation after one-trial appetitive conditioning. European Journal of Neuroscience, 21, 1347-1358]. We conclude that hypothermia and protein synthesis inhibition exhibit distinct time-windows of effectiveness in Lymnaea, a fact that is inconsistent with the hypothesis that cooling induced amnesia occurs through the direct disruption of macromolecular synthesis
Degeneracy loci and G2 Flags.
No full textWe define degeneracy loci for vector bundles with structure group G_2, and give formulas for their cohomology (or Chow) classes in terms of the Chern classes of the bundles involved. When the base is a point, such formulas are part of the theory for projective homogeneous spaces developed by Bernstein--Gelfand--Gelfand and Demazure. This has been extended to the setting of general algebraic geometry by Giambelli--Thom--Porteous, Kempf--Laksov, and Fulton in classical types; the present work carries out the analogous program in type G_2. We include explicit descriptions of the G_2 flag variety and its Schubert varieties, and several computations, including one that answers a question of William Graham.
As part of our description of the G_2 flag variety, we prove some basic facts about octonions and trilinear forms, and give a natural construction of octonion algebra bundles which appears to be new.
Motivated by the relationship between symmetric matrices and the symplectic group, we define a new type of symmetry for morphisms of vector bundles, called triality symmetry. We explain the relation with G_2, and deduce degeneracy locus formulas for triality-symmetric morphisms from formulas for Schubert loci in G_2 flag bundles. We also give a proof of the formulas in terms of equivariant cohomology, by computing the classes of P-orbits in g_2/p for a parabolic subgroup P in G_2.
In five appendices, we collect some facts from representation theory; review the phenomenon of triality and its relation to G_2 flags; discuss a general notion of symmetry for morphisms of vector bundles; give parametrizations of Schubert cells, formulas for degeneracy loci, and the equivariant multiplication table for the G_2 flag variety; and compute the Chow rings of quadric bundles.PhDMathematicsUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
