  • Conclusions * Deism Is Commonly Regarded As a Major Religious Expression of the Enlightenment
    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/66795 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation. Author: Berg, J. van den Title: Thomas Morgan (1671/2-1743): from presbyterian preacher to Christian deist : A contribution to the study of English deism Issue Date: 2018-11-08 135 Conclusions * Deism is commonly regarded as a major religious expression of the Enlightenment. Much has been written about various aspects of Deism, including questions about the label as such, whether Deism covers a movement, or even whether it is a myth. Since David Hume there has been discussion about the so-called deist movement, and who belonged to it. Thomas Morgan called himself a Christian deist, but he did not belong to any organized group of deists. The literature since Leland brought them together as English deists. But an organized group of deists in England never existed. This notion has been questioned by various authors. As to the term deist, so much is clear that hardly any so-called deist wanted to be labelled as such since it was seen by many as a defamatory label. Only few used the term in a positive sense. Thomas Morgan was one of them. In contrast to other deists he was proud to call himself a deist. He even went so far as to call himself a “Christian Deist”. What did he mean with this particular label? What did it involve in this case? What are the differences between ‘Chistian Deism’ and Deism as such? These are questions which are central to this dissertation.

  • Natural Rights, Natural Religion, and the Origins of the Free Exercise Clause
    ARTICLES REASON AND CONVICTION: NATURAL RIGHTS, NATURAL RELIGION, AND THE ORIGINS OF THE FREE EXERCISE CLAUSE Steven J. Heyman* ABSTRACT One of the most intense debates in contemporary America involves conflicts between religious liberty and other key values like civil rights. To shed light on such problems, courts and scholars often look to the historical background of the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. But that inquiry turns out to be no less controversial. In recent years, a growing number of scholars have challenged the traditional account that focuses on the roles of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the movement to protect religious liberty in late eighteenth-century America. These scholars emphasize that most of the political energy behind the movement came from Evangelical Christians. On this revisionist account, we should not understand the Free Exercise Clause and corresponding state provisions in terms of the Enlightenment views of Jefferson and Madison, which these scholars characterize as secular, rationalist, and skeptical—if not hostile—toward religion. Instead, those protections were adopted for essentially religious reasons: to protect the liberty of individuals to respond to God’s will and to allow the church to carry out its mission to spread the Gospel. This Article offers a different understanding of the intellectual foundations of the Free Exercise Clause. The most basic view that supported religious liberty was neither secular rationalism nor Christian Evangelicalism but what contemporaries called natural religion. This view held that human beings were capable of using reason to discern the basic principles of religion, including the duties they owed to God and one another.

They now fear that Iraqi armoured troops, under pressure from Iran, will repeat their action of 8 April 2011, when they began killing and injuring the besieged civilians there, who lack food, fuel and medical supplies. Only if the USA agrees to let the UN take charge of the camp can a future massacre of these believers in freedom and democracy be prevented. See www.iranliberty.org.uk for further information.

  • Mauro Pesce the Beginning of Historical Research on Jesus in The
    Mauro Pesce University of Bologna [email protected] Tel +39 349 576 44 50 The Beginning of Historical Research on Jesus in the Modern Age 1. New Understandings of the Historical Figure of Jesus in Modern Age Is generally affirmed that the history of the research on the historical Jesus begins with H.S.Reimarus on the influence of Deism and Enlightenment (an idea that rests on a book published more than a century ago by A. Schweitzer1) and that is characterized by a series of phases or stages that culminate in the “last quest”. The aim of these pages is to present a critique of both these opinions. In fact, the tentative to reconstruct an image of Jesus independently from the theological interpretations of the Churches is already attested at the beginnings of the fifteenth century. Secondly, the history of the research must be understood not in the frame of a linear historical evolution that proceeds by subsequent phases, but in the light of a social history that takes into considerations the constant conflicting attitudes of different coexisting intellectual and academic institutions of Modern Age: Catholic theological Faculties, Protestant theological Faculties, and independent academic institutions and scholars. The first condition that made it possible a new historical research on Jesus was humanism which emphasized reading texts in the original language and which, starting at the beginning of the fourteenth century, influenced biblical research by bringing in a new understanding of early Christian concepts (for example metanoia versus poenitentia) in light of the Jewish and Greek cultures in which they were produced.

  • I. Aniol 2.2 (Final)
    DBSJ 22 (2017): 91–103 WAS ISAAC WATTS UNITARIAN? ATHANASIAN TRINITARIANISM AND THE BOUNDARY OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP by Scott Aniol1 Glory to God the Trinity, Whose name has mysteries unknown; In essence One, in persons Three, A social nature, yet alone. A more orthodox hymnic formulation of the doctrine of the Trinity would be difficult to find than one like this from the pen of the Father of English hymnody, Isaac Watts (1674–1748). Indeed, many of Watts’s hymns contain such Trinitarian language affirming the equal deity and praiseworthiness of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And yet, despite this legacy of rich, Trinitarian hymnody, Isaac Watts’s reputa- tion has been plagued since his lifetime with charges that he was less than orthodox in his doctrine of the Trinity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate thoroughly Watts’s mature thought concerning the Trinity to determine the purposes behind his thinking, and to assess whether any unorthodox views have been passed on through his most influential works—his hymns. Several of Watts’s biographers treat the subject at length, many without the benefit of all of the pertinent documents at their disposal.2 Other hymn textbooks or biographers of Watts either briefly mention his Trinitarian problems without any evidence,3 or they dismiss the charges without giving them the attention they deserve, mainly by cit- ing examples of his Trinitarian hymns written and published early in his life, before debates about the Trinity grabbed Watts’s attention.4 Watts 1Dr. Aniol is Associate Professor of Worship Ministry at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, TX, and is the director of Religious Affections Ministries (www.religiousaffections.org).

A few words about his life and work may be shed some light on the nature and range of John’s extensive collection. John was the only child of Welsh parents from Clydach in West Gla- morgan. They were Welsh speaking and Welsh was John’s first lan- guage until the age of five when his parents moved to Ashford. From his primary school in Ashford John gained a scholarship to the City of London School. From there he went to Sidney Sussex College, Cam- bridge, where he studied history, with an emphasis in Part 2 on the history of philosophy. He continued his studies at postgraduate level and was awarded an MLitt. Book collecting was in John’s blood for he had begun at the age of ten. On leaving Cambridge, He joined the John Rylands Library as a trainee in rare-book librarianship. He then had a short period of service with the Inland Revenue before joining, in 1977, Robin Waterfield’s Anti- quarian Booksellers as a cataloguer of rare books. John was always on hand there with helpful advice and encouragement especially for young scholars. Many a collection may have begun with a purchase from Waterfield’s, for John’s enthusiasm for book collecting was infectious.

    FIELDING'S CREATIVE PSYCHOLOGY: A BELIEF IN THE GOOD-NATURED MAN APPROVED: 1/l*sA a, Professo Minor (P^^ffessor LbcjUU^^ 7. Consulting Professor U>OJLc<Z<+r\ ~jh 1 Chairjjyzt of Graduate Studies in English Dearil of the Graduate "School ~ " Dundas, Doris K., Fielding's Creative Psychology; A Belief in the Good-Natured Man. Master of Arts (English)s December, 1972 , 124- pp., bibliography, 73 titles. The philosophy of Henry Fielding turns more upon a study of human nature than upon any stated adherence to a system of beliefs. The thesis of this paper is that he was a moderate law-and-order Anglican of his time, but strongly influenced by the deist Shaftesbury's studies of the psycho-, logical characteristics of men. These inquiries into moti- vations and Shaftesbury's advocacy of the social virtue of desiring good for others seem to have helped determine Fielding's philosophy. The first chapter of this paper shows Fielding's attitude toward Christianity and deism; the second examines in depth his antipathy to rigorism and cynicism; the third explains his considerable interest in Shaftesbury's psychological ideas; the last chapter illus- trates the art that Fielding created to serve his philosophy. Fielding's multilevel irony not only offers a wide range of interpretations, but its subtlety often allows the reader to choose whichever meaning he finds appropriate. The author is best understood, however, as not favoring Thwackum's rigid literalism, but not condemning the Anglican Church for har- boring him; not favoring the blind hypocrisy of the philoso- pher Square, but not condemning philosophy in general because of such "false philosophers." The worst of the false philosophers, in Fielding's view, combines religious extremism with a cynical philosophy to picture man as essentially depraved.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date / At^rUST (W7 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This essay presents an analysis of two eighteenth-century controversies on liberty and necessity of the will. The first debate between Anthony Collins and Samuel Clarke took place in the early part of the century, and that between Richard Price and Joseph Priestley in the second half. The bulk of the essay relates to Clarke and Collins. In Chapter One I introduce the question of liberty and necessity in the context of a challenge to traditional theism through the work of Thomas Hobbes; Hobbes' compatibilist arguments were later adapted by Collins.
