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

The Democratic State
No full textRoger Benjamin was president of the Council for Aid to Education (CAE) from 2005 to 2019 and was formerly provost of the University of Minnesota and the University of Pittsburgh. He has authored, coauthored, or co-edited nine books, including The Democratic Purposes of Education and The New Limits of Education Policy: Avoiding a Tragedy of the Commons.
Stephen L. Elkin is professor emeritus of government and politics at the University of Maryland and founding editor of the journal The Good Society. He is the author or editor of seven books, including Reconstructing the Commercial Republic: Constitutional Design after Madison.This Kansas Open Books title is funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Humanities Open Book Program.Edited by Roger Benjamin and Stephen L. Elkin. Contributors include Peter H. Aranson, Roger Benjamin, David Braybrooke, Stephen L. Elkin, Norman Furniss, and Peter C. Ordeshook.One outcome of the declining economic growth and rising political conflict of the 1980s has been a renewed interest in political theory and increased questioning about the durability of the capitalist state. More and more political scientists are critically assessing the prevailing pluralist vision of the relationships between the state and the economy. Is the capitalist state able to adjust to crises and contradictions? What is the role of the state in changing—deteriorating—economic circumstances? How should we understand competing interpretations on the relative autonomy of the state, the nature of property rights, the legitimation crisis?
This collection of five original essays by seven of the best-known political-economy theorists addresses the interconnections between the economy and the polity and embodies the leading theoretical approaches to the political economy of the state

Einstein-Yang-Mills black holes in anti de-Sitter space
No full textIn this thesis we consider Einstein-Yang-Mills black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space, in the presence of an su(N) gauge �eld. For a purely magnetic gauge �eld we de�ne a set of charges, namely the mass and N - 1 gauge invariant magnetic charges, and show that they characterize stable black holes.
We then go on to consider dyonic black holes which carry both electric and magnetic charge. We investigate spherically symmetric black holes and solitons, and �nd equations of motion for solutions with su(N) gauge �elds. These equations are solved numerically to �nd black hole and soliton solutions with su(2) and su(3) gauge groups.
We then turn to dyonic black holes with planar event horizons and investigate their suitability as gravitational analogues to high temperature superconductors under the AdS/CFT correspondence. We generalise a previously known ansatz for su(2) gauge groups to su(N), and show that there is a critical temperature above which non-abelian solutions do not exist. Below this critical temperature, we show that they are thermodynamically favoured over equivalent Reissner-Nordstr�om solutions, and have in�nite D.C. conductivity
