BROOK, B.A., UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN MADISON M.A., UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SEATTLE Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Stephen Olbrys Gencarella This dissertation investigates the rhetorical constitution of a religio-political social collective which has come to be understood as Christian Reconstruction (CR). CR is guided by conservative Calvinism (Reformed theology) and upholds the ideas of theonomy, postmillennialism, and presuppositional apologetics. Some of the leaders associated with CR are R. J. Rushdoony, Gary North, Gary DeMar of American Vision and Doug Phillips of Vision Forum. A few of its key practices are homeschooling, the father ‘returning home,’ and having as many children ‘as God will allow,’ (a vision aligned with the Quiverfull movement). It is primarily a national movement within the United States, not limited to a singular geographical location or denomination. This study provides a comprehensive overview of CR, illustrating how the grammars of CR are animated, embodied, and upheld in peoples’ lives and practices. Through the observation of conferences and events, and the collection and examination of media materials, this analysis takes a constructivist approach to piecing together the discursive fragments that constitute CR. CR grammar is richly embedded in a web of interaction, media, technology, images, bodily adornment, performance, music, games, vi and consumer culture. My theoretical framework utilizes the work of critical cultural theorists (Gramsci, 1971; Butler, 1990; Hall, 1976, Laclau, 2005) in combination with theories of constitutive (Burke, 1950; Charland, 1987; McGee, 1975) and visual rhetoric and display (Olson, Finnegan & Hope, 2008; Prelli, 2006; Selzer & Crowley, 1999) to examine the types of social, cultural, and political subjectivities, practices and institutions that are constituted within the CR community. It focuses primarily on the patriarchal identities within CR families as well as the focus on nationalistic teaching about Christian American history as methods for changing the culture of America. I consider the hegemonic machinations of CR grammars in constituting these identities. Finally, this study makes available a methodology and method for the study of dispersed “peoples” and their discursive lives. I demonstrate that multi-sited ethnography, combined with the theories of constitutive and visual rhetorics and critical cultural studies provides a systematic heuristic with which to inquire into a people, its culture, activities, identities, and how they constitute themselves. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...................................................................................................v ABSTRACT....................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................... xi CHAPTER 1.

  • Rev 20 Classnotes 2020
    Revelation Notes 2020 - Laurelwood 85 "The Heart Response to a Perfect Earth" Revelation 20 After the tribulation on the earth and the return of the King to the earth to destroy all the kings of the earth, Jesus will set up His earthly kingdom and rule over the whole world in perfect conditions on the earth. JESUS CHRIST WILL REIGN ON THE EARTH FOR 1000 YEARS, 20:1-15 The transition between Revelation 19 and Revelation 20 is the transition to the fulfillment of the Abrahamic contract and the completion of the kingdom program of God. The kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our Lord (Revelation 11:15), the King of Kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16). He will reign for 1000 years and then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom up to the Father (1 Corinthians 15:23-28) so that God may be all in all. Excursus 1: Review of Eschatological Frameworks Three theological grids: the postmillennial, the amillennial, and the premillennial take their names and point of departure from Revelation 20:1-8, where Christ is said to reign 1,000 years, a period which has been called the “millennium.” The word “millennium” comes from the Latin word for 1000. The Greek word for “1000” is χιλιοι chilioi, from which chiliasm is derived. For further study of these three different theological positions, see J. Dwight Pentecost, Things to Come, chapter 22 (XXII). A. Postmillennialism The postmillennial school interprets the millennium to be a period (may be a distinct 1000 year period) of great spiritual blessing fulfilling millennial promises accomplished through preaching the gospel to everyone.

  • The One Thousand Year Reign of Christ
    Empowering People to Change the World The One Thousand Year Reign of Christ Steve Holt © Steve Holt | TheRoad.org The One Thousand Year Reign of Christ Prayer • All of us are called to pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” • Jesus wants us to request the kingdom on earth in our prayers. • We are longing for order, stability, joy and peace. But guess what church? It will not completely happen until Christ returns and Satan is cast into the Lake of Fire. • In chapter 20 we are gazing into the Kingdom Age, the 1000 year reign of Christ. o What is the kingdom of God? In the Greek it means “the rule and reign of Christ.” o This will be an earthly utopia in which God’s will, rule and reign comes from heaven to the earth. o This Kingdom Age is described as being for 1000 years and is mentioned 6 times. o The Latin phrase is “millennium.” The word millennium is not in the Bible. o The Greek word is chilia meaning, for 1000 years, and the church is divided on this issue. Three positions on this issue are held by reputable scholars on all sides of the issue: 1. The A-millennial position- this position does not believe that there will be a literal thousand year reign of Christ. © Steve Holt | TheRoad.org !2 a. They believe that this is completely a symbolic meaning for a long period of time. b. This view interprets Old Testament prophecies of a millennium as being fulfilled spiritually now in the church today.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

  • Contextualizing C. S. Lewis' Christian Libertarianism
    “Contextualizing C. S. Lewis’ Christian Libertarianism” (Urban) CONTEXTUALIZING C. S. LEWIS’ CHRISTIAN LIBERTARIANISM: ENGAGING DYER AND WATSON AND BEYOND David V. Urban1 Abstract: Analyzes C. S. Lewis’ Christian libertarianism by engaging important recent scholarship on Lewis’ natural law-based political thought and by considering both Lewis’ place within Christian classical liberal/libertarian thought since the late eighteenth century and how his insights are germane to contemporary political and ethical controversies. Keywords: C. S. Lewis, classical liberalism, political philosophy, Dyer, Watson, libertarianism, NHS, Madison, Bastiat, Acton, Machen, Tocqueville, homosexuality I. INTRODUCTION The notion that C. S. Lewis was effectively apolitical has remained the conventional understanding of Lewis’ admirers. Such a belief is no doubt understandable in light of the words of his closest relatives. Lewis’ brother Warnie, acknowledging Lewis’ reputed “contempt for politics and politicians,” spoke of Lewis’ enduring “disgust and revulsion from the very idea of politics.”2 In his biography of Lewis, Lewis’ stepson Douglas 1 David V. Urban (Ph.D English, University of Illinois at Chicago) is Professor of English at Calvin College. 2 Quoted in Justin Buckley Dyer and Micah J. Watson, C. S. Lewis on Politics and the Natural Law (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2016), 5. I would like to thank Calvin College, whose sabbatical release time benefitted the research and writing of this essay. Thanks also to Jamin Hübner and the anonymous readers at CLR for their helpful suggestions. Finally, 75 The Christian Libertarian Review 1 (2018) Gresham writes that “Jack was not interested in politics.”3 And less than a week before his November 1963 death, Lewis himself wrote to Mrs.

Criticisms of these two groups could often be found in the same northern evangelical journal, if not on the same page. Words such as “despotism” and “tyranny” described both the theological condi- tion of the Catholic Church and the political condition of the South. Slavery and Catholicism were labeled incompatible with republican insti- tutions and bereft of the virtues necessary to sustain a democratic people.

    ON THE DETECTION OF HATE SPEECH, HATE SPEAKERS AND POLARIZED GROUPS IN ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Dana Warmsley December 2017 c 2017 Dana Warmsley ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ON THE DETECTION OF HATE SPEECH, HATE SPEAKERS AND POLARIZED GROUPS IN ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA Dana Warmsley, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 The objective of this dissertation is to explore the use of machine learning algorithms in understanding and detecting hate speech, hate speakers and po- larized groups in online social media. Beginning with a unique typology for detecting abusive language, we outline the distinctions and similarities of dif- ferent abusive language subtasks (offensive language, hate speech, cyberbully- ing and trolling) and how we might benefit from the progress made in each area. Specifically, we suggest that each subtask can be categorized based on whether or not the abusive language being studied 1) is directed at a specific individ- ual, or targets a generalized “Other” and 2) the extent to which the language is explicit versus implicit. We then use knowledge gained from this typology to tackle the “problem of offensive language” in hate speech detection. A key challenge for automated hate speech detection on social media is the separation of hate speech from other instances of offensive language. We present a Logistic Regression classifier, trained on human annotated Twitter data, that makes use of a uniquely derived lexicon of hate terms along with features that have proven successful in the detection of offensive language, hate speech and cyberbully- ing.

  • Preterism and It’S Reconstruction Ally This Article Was Originally from Two Timely Editorials of the Standard Bearer Vol
    Timely Questions about Preterism and it’s Reconstruction Ally This article was originally from two timely editorials of The Standard Bearer Vol. 75; No. 10; February 15, 1999 (A Timely Question about Preterism), and Vol. 75; No. 16; May 15, 1999 (The Preterism of Christian Reconstruction). http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/eschatology/preterist.html Part I: A Timely Question about “Preterism” by Prof. David Engelsma A reader has asked about “preterism.” The question is occasioned by the series of editorials defending (Reformed) amillennialism (Standard Bearer, Jan. 15, 1995 — Dec. 15, 1996). The subject is worthy of editorial treatment. The question and my response follow. Question I have read your articles on amillennialism and have learned much. I have some dealings with people who hold to a postmillennial view. Lately, some people have come to our church who hold to a preterist view. Do you know much about this view? Do you know what good books or articles I could read? They deny the second coming of Christ and many other important truths. I hope that you can help me. Michael Mc Cullough Ripon, CA Response What “Preterism” is Your question is timely. “Preterism” is a heresy that, astonishingly, is creeping into Reformed and Presbyterian churches. That it does so is largely due to postmillennial Christian Reconstructionism. Against this error I was fighting in the series of editorials that occasioned your question. Your question is also timely because preterism is about time, specifically the time of Jesus’ second coming, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the renewal of the creation.

  • CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY and the LIBERATION of EVE a Thesis
    CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY AND THE LIBERATION OF EVE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Jennifer Emily Sims, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 1, 2016 CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY AND THE LIBERATION OF EVE Jennifer Emily Sims, B.A. MALS Mentor: Theresa Sanders, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Christian Patriarchy is a set of beliefs held by many conservative Christians that outlines gender roles based on a literal interpretation of scripture. These gender roles, also referred to as biblical manhood and biblical womanhood, dictate the hierarchy of authority where Christ is the head of the household, the husband is the head of the wife. Children are primed at a very young age to demonstrate the tenets of biblical manhood and biblical womanhood, but for young girls, their paths are strictly laid out for them to marry, birth many Godly children, and serve their husbands. The fundamentalist reading of Genesis 2-3 is used to justify female submission via Eve’s creation and subsequent role in the Fall of Humanity. This evangelical interpretation uses Genesis 2-3 as the foundational text to first justify women as subordinate based on creation order, and secondly justify women’s submission on Eve’s role in the Fall of Humanity. By using biblical interpretations to subordinate the woman’s position vis-à-vis her husband, women in these conservative Christian homes are locked into this role with little chance to follow a different path, and are often dependent on a dominant male figure for survival.

  • Critique of Theonomy: a Taxonomy — T. David Gordon
    T. David Gordon, “Critique of Theonomy: A Taxonomy,” Westminster Theological Journal 56.1 (Spring 1994): 23-43. Critique of Theonomy: A Taxonomy — T. David Gordon I. Introduction 1. Distinguishing Theonomy from Theonomists One of the most difficult aspects of polemical theology is being sure that what is being evaluated is a distinctive viewpoint, not the individuals holding the viewpoint. Of necessity, when evaluating a given view, one examines those dimensions that distinguish it from other views. It would inevitably be lopsided, then, to confuse a criticism of a view with a criticism of those who hold it. Presumably, those who hold a distinctive view also embrace many other views that are identical with those shared by the church catholic. Individual Theonomists are not intended to be the point of an examination such as this; rather, what is evaluated is the viewpoint that distinguishes Theonomy from other approaches to biblical ethics. 2. Distinguishing Theonomy from Christian Reconstruction As socioreligious phenomena, Theonomy and Christian Reconstruction are closely related. The individuals involved in the one are ordinarily involved in the other. However, theologically and religiously they can be distinguished. Christian Reconstructionists exist in a variety of forms, and are ordinarily united in their belief that the Western world, and especially the United States, has departed from the Judeo-Christian ethical basis that once characterized its public discourse, with devastating results. Positively, Reconstructionists wish to see the United States return to a more biblical approach, or even a more Judeo-Christian approach, to the issues of civil life. Theonomy is more specific than this, though it does not disagree with it.
