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.

Authorship in Burroughs\u27s Red Night Trilogy and Bowles\u27s Translation of Moroccan Storytellers
Get PDFIn his article Authorship in Burroughs\u27s Red Night Trilogy and Bowles\u27s Translation of Moroccan Storytellers Benjamin J. Heal discusses Paul Bowles\u27s and William S. Burroughs\u27s varying interrogation of the constructed nature of authorship. In his study Heal focuses on the publication history of Burroughs\u27s Cities of the Red Night (1981), which was written with considerable collaborative influence and Bowles\u27s translation of illiterate Moroccan storytellers, where his influence over the production and editing of the texts is blurred as are the roles of author and translator. Through an examination of Bowles\u27s and Burroughs\u27s authorship strategies in parallel with an explication of the poststructuralist authorship theories of Barthes and Foucault, Heal presents an analysis of the extent of Bowles\u27s and Burroughs\u27s critique of the Western construction of authorship
Remnants and Revenants: politics and violence in the work of Agamben and Derrida
Get PDFThis is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Frazer, Elizabeth, and Kimberly Hutchings. "Remnants and revenants: politics and violence in the work of Agamben and Derrida." The British Journal of Politics & International Relations 13.2 (2011): 127-144, which has been published in final form at http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-856X.2010.00428.x. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving.Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben both consider the question of whether there can be politics without violence, offering contrasting responses. In the case of Agamben, the remnant (that which remains) is disruptive and destabilising of present institutions; in the case of Derrida the revenant, the spectre, promises a future that is open. This reading of the two theories suggests that Derrida's response to the question of politics and violence is more persuasive than Agamben's. But the abstraction of his argument, like the tensions and contradictions in Agamben's, means that we are not hereby furnished with the resources to think politically about violence
Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
Get PDFThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories
After storytelling: Walter Benjamin meets J. R. R. Tolkien in fairy-stories
No full textEste artigo faz um estudo comparativo entre o conceito de “contos de fadas” do filólogo inglês J.R.R. Tolkien e a noção de “narrativa” do crítico alemão Walter Benjamin, demonstrando uma relação de afinidade entre as duas ideias. Para tanto, são empregados dois textos como núcleo da reflexão: a conferência Sobre contos de fadas, de Tolkien, e o texto clássico de Benjamin intitulado O Narrador. A partir da análise das semelhanças e diferenças entre os contos de fadas e a narrativa, com enfoque na associação entre literatura fantástica e público infantil, na capacidade dessas histórias de aconselhar e em sua relação com as ideias de mito e natureza, foi possível determinar quanto esses termos se sobrepõem, muito embora os autores nunca tenham dialogado em vida. No fim das contas, ao contrário do que Benjamin afirmava em seu texto, a forma de comunicação engendrada pela figura dos narradores não desapareceu século XX adentro, mas experimentou uma renovação literária no trabalho de autores como Tolkien, que preservaram características da narrativa nos contos de fadas contemporâneos.This article consists of a comparative study between the English philologist J. R. R. Tolkien’s concept of “fairy-story” and the notion of “storytelling” employed by the German critic Walter Benjamin, demonstrating the degree of affinity between them. To do so, two articles constitute the core discussion: Tolkien’s conference On Fairy-Stories and Benjamin’s classic essay titled The Storyteller. From the analysis of similarities and differences between fairy-stories and storytelling — focusing on the association between fantastic literature and young readers, on the capacity of such stories to provide one with counsel and their relationship with the concepts of myth and nature — it was possible to determine how much these terms overlap, even though there is no evidence that either author influenced each other’s work. Therefore, it is demonstrated that contrary to what Benjamin claimed in his article, the form of communication contrived by the storyteller did not disappear in the 20th century, but experienced a literary renewal in the hands of authors like Tolkien, who preserved some characteristics of storytelling in contemporary fairy-stories
