Instead I included in my outline some introductory thoughts and hoped it would suffice to address some concerns that a reader may possibly have about the terms Christian, Christianity, church, etc... However, there were still some that in their zeal for accuracy in terminology were troubled by the books use of these terms. I appreciate their fastidiousness to accuracy so I pray that in this introduction I may address two this issue in two points so that it will not detract from the material continued in this book. First, throughout this book there are references to “Christians” and “Chris- tianity.” These references do not always refer to those that have been obedient and added to the body of Jesus Christ as in Acts 2. These terms are accoom- adative to represent those that would profess themselves to be adherents to protestantism or believe in Jesus. A true follower of Christ is one that has an obedient faith (James 2:14-17). This requires his obedience in repentance (Luke 13:3), confessing Christ (Romans 10:10), putting Christ on in Baptism (Galatians 3:27), and living daily for Him (Romans 12:1-2). This type of faith can only be produced by the word of God. Second, throughout this book there are references that use the word “Church.” It is to be understood that there is only one church (Matthew 16:15- 19; Ephesians 4:4-6) which is the body of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:23-33). The Church belongs to Christ as the Head and does all things by His authority (Colossians 3:16-17). It is imperative to understand that in this book every reference to “church” is not a reference to “THE TRUE CHURCH OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.” It is an accommodative use where people have pervert- ed, confused and assaulted the Church of Christ. Finally, I would like to extend my appreciation to many groups of people. I start with my family that supports me in the work of NWFSBS, the Milestone congregation and in the Kingdom: the elders of the Milestone congregation for their oversight and support; the faculty and support staff of the school for their hard work; the students of the school for their dedication to God’s word and preparation for laboring in the Kingdom; the congregation for their support and patience; the many that have worked with the school since its in- ception in 1987; all the financial supporters that make this work possible; and finally to the speakers for their contribution to this book and lectureship. In Christ, Guyton E. Montgomery AN INTRODUCTION TO THE REFORMATION PERIOD GUYTON E. MONTGOMERY Introduction: A. In studying a topic, it is often beneficial to clearly state applicable presumptions to the study. For this cause the following presumptions are listed for expediency. 1. The Bible is inspired by God (2 Tim. 3:16,17) and is all sufficient (Jude 1:3; Gal. 1:8). 2. The church was promised (Mt. 16:18, 19), has been established and will not be prevailed against (Acts 2:36-47; Eph. 5:26-33). 3. Christ is significant and alone should be followed (Eph. 2:1-5; 1 Cor. 1:13; 11:1). B. This lesson should not be viewed as an exhaustive resource concerning the reformation period. C. Instead, this lesson is a brief overview and background for the studies that are contained within the pages of this book. Discussion: I. Acknowledging and Answering Objections to Studying the Reformation Period A. The Bible is all I need to study. 1. This author readily acknowledges that an individual can take the Bible alone, study it, apply it and become a part of the New Testament church, without any knowledge of history, including the reformation and restoration periods. 2. However, it is important to note that individuals do not live in “vacuums” and are not isolated from influences of the world around them. 3. As an individual studies God’s word, it is imperative to find an understanding how God’s word relates (as Supreme) to the influences in their lives. 4. Furthermore, it is important for teachers of God’s word to understand the background of those whom he is teaching so as to be ready to explain the answers to questions produced because of the influences upon them. 5. As a teacher of God’s word, this author desires to know as much as possible to help him untangle the web of confusion that has been created by men in the minds of men. 6. To illustrate the importance of studying history subsequent to the New Testament, consider the words of 2 Thessalonians 2:3, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” a. Without a study of history subsequent to the New Testament, one 10 An Examination of Religion 1500-1700 AD may have difficulty understanding this passage and teaching it to others. b. It is through this study that one can see the fulfillment of this prophecy through the departures of Roman Catholicism, protestantism and other efforts of men apart from the New Testament. 7. Finally, consider the words of T.W. Brents, “But he says: ‘I have the Bible to read, and that is better than any book of sermons.’ If you will show us a man who reads nothing but the Bible, we will show you one who reads and understands very little of that. He who is anxious to understand the Bible will want to read, not only the Bible, but every thing else he can get that will help him to understand it.” (Brents, 1918) B. The reformation period is irrelevant to the needs of today. 1. “Many people think of the Protestant Reformation as only a religious revolution. In reality, it was so much more. Yes, its beginning was religious in nature, but the Reformation progressed to transcend religion. So why is the Protestant Reformation a big deal? It was a social, political, and economic revolution in the truest sense. It laid the intellectual framework upon which the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment were built. The Protestant Reformation led to modern democracy, skepticism, capitalism, individualism, civil rights, and many of the modern values we cherish today. The Protestant Reformation impacted nearly every academic discipline, notably the social sciences like economics, philosophy, and history .” (Sullivan, 2019) 2. Americans owe their freedoms to the beliefs brought forth in the reformation movement. a. “…the great expereminent of the Cromwellian Commonwealth, short-lived though it was, by the momentum of its religious impulse opened the way for a new type of civilization based on the freedom of the person and of conscience as rights conferred absolutely by God and Nature.

  • Baptist Trail of Blood Theory)
    The Blood of Baptists “Losing the Trail” (Some Brief Comments on the Baptist Trail of Blood Theory) By Pastor Kelly Sensenig The Trail Theory The “Trail of Blood” was written by J. M. Carroll in 1931 and is published by Ashland Avenue Baptist Church in Lexington Kentucky. It is a small booklet of fifty-six pages containing a proposed timeline of Baptist churches back to the days of Jesus. By 1994 over 1,955,000 copies had been printed and it has gained great popularity among some Baptist Fundamentalist groups. The perpetuity view is often identified with this booklet called “The Trail of Blood,” which was a successionist pamphlet by J.M. Carrol that was published in 1931. In it the author contends that the Baptist brethren have a direct link back to the days of John the Baptist, Christ, the apostles, and the first churches. It’s alleged by some that John the Baptist was commissioned by Jesus to start the Baptist Church, that the true churches would eventually bear his name, and that John the Baptizer taught Baptist doctrine. The apostles and first churches followed in this same train and started a Baptist trail that independent Baptist churches have followed since the times of the apostles. In some Baptist books and colleges, it is taught that only independent Baptist churches are part of the true Bride of Christ. Other Baptist writers holding the perpetuity view are Thomas Crosby, G.H. Orchard, J.M. Cramp, William Cathcart, Adam Taylor and D.B. Ray. Some have suggested that this view was also held by English Baptist preacher, Charles Spurgeon, by his statement in one sermon in the “New Park Street Pulpit,” page 225.

The story of the Historic Families of Ayrshire is one of «xceptional interest, as well from the personal as from the county, as here and there from the national, standpoint. As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.

    HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 by Suzanne E. Gross Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1994 Advisory Committee: Professor Howard Serwer, Chairman/Advisor Professor Carol Robertson Professor Richard Wexler Professor Laura Youens Professor Hasia Diner ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 Suzanne E. Gross, Doctor of Philosophy, 1994 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Howard Serwer, Professor of Music, Musicology Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland As part of an effort to maintain their German culture, the late eighteenth-century Mennonites of Eastern Pennsylvania instituted hymn-singing instruction in the elementary community schoolhouse curriculum. Beginning in 1780 (or perhaps earlier), much of the hymn-tune repertoire, previously an oral tradition, was recorded in musical notation in manuscript songbooks (Notenbüchlein) compiled by local schoolmasters in Mennonite communities north of Philadelphia. The practice of giving manuscript songbooks to diligent singing students continued until 1835 or later. These manuscript songbooks are the only extant clue to the hymn repertoire and performance practice of these Mennonite communities at the turn of the nineteenth century. By identifying the tunes that recur most frequently, one can determine the core repertoire of the Franconia Mennonites at this time, a repertoire that, on balance, is strongly pietistic in nature. Musically, the Notenbüchlein document the shift that occured when these Mennonite communities incorporated written transmission into their oral tradition.

  • A Study of Early Anabaptism As Minority Religion in German Fiction
    Heresy or Ideal Society? A Study of Early Anabaptism as Minority Religion in German Fiction DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ursula Berit Jany Graduate Program in Germanic Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barbara Becker-Cantarino, Advisor Professor Katra A. Byram Professor Anna Grotans Copyright by Ursula Berit Jany 2013 Abstract Anabaptism, a radical reform movement originating during the sixteenth-century European Reformation, sought to attain discipleship to Christ by a separation from the religious and worldly powers of early modern society. In my critical reading of the movement’s representations in German fiction dating from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, I explore how authors have fictionalized the religious minority, its commitment to particular theological and ethical aspects, its separation from society, and its experience of persecution. As part of my analysis, I trace the early historical development of the group and take inventory of its chief characteristics to observe which of these aspects are selected for portrayal in fictional texts. Within this research framework, my study investigates which social and religious principles drawn from historical accounts and sources influence the minority’s image as an ideal society, on the one hand, and its stigmatization as a heretical and seditious sect, on the other. As a result of this analysis, my study reveals authors’ underlying programmatic aims and ideological convictions cloaked by their literary articulations of conflict-laden encounters between society and the religious minority.
