    HERODOTUS Volume XXX • Spring 2020 Stanford University Department of History HERODOTUS Volume XXX Department of History Stanford University STANFORD UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY HERODOTUS Herodotus is a student-run publication founded in 1986 by the Stanford University Department of History and the History Undergraduate Student Association (HUGSA). It bears the name of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, the 5th century BCE historian of the Greco-Persian Wars. His Histories, which preserve the memory of the battles of Marathon and Thermopylae, were written so that “human achievements may not become forgotten in time, and great and marvelous deeds . may not be without their glory.” Likewise, this journal is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the best undergraduate work of Stanford University’s Department of History. Our published pieces are selected through a process of peer review. As a final note, Herodotus’ volume numbering system erroneously begins at 1990 rather than at 1986. We have, however, chosen to retain the existing num- bering system for the sake of continuity.

  • Reincarnation As a Christian Hope
    REINCARNATION AS A CHRISTIAN HOPE Christian teaching about what the Creed calls 'the life of the world to come' is more muddled than is any other part of traditional doctrine. Professor Mac· Gregor notes at the outset the uneasiness that many of us in the West feel about the notion of reincarnation. It is often misunderstood in a primitivistic and magical way; even in its most ethical and developed forms it seems to fit Chris· tianity about as badly as would a stupa or pagoda atop a Gothic church. Yet the promise of resurrection, that most central and orthodox of all Christian doctrines, is the promise of a form of reincarnation. Most of the difficulties, philosophical and theological, that apply to the one (e.g. memory and continuity) affect the other no less. MacGregor also uses reincarnation as an interpretation of the Anglican doctrine of purgatory as a place of growth. Dr MacGregor proposes that a careful examination of the roots of rein· carnationist theory in the West and its immense and pervasive influence in Christian literature, not least during and since the Italian Renaissance, will show how reincarnation may not only fit into, but also immeasurably enrich, our Christian hope so as to make even educated conservative opinion hospitable to it. He asks both that theologians will consider his proposal with the seriousness he believes it merits and that the average Christian whom he has especially in mind will find it as exciting and rewarding as he does. Geddes MacGregor, D es L (Sorbonne), D Phil, DD (Oxford), LL B (Edin· burgh), is Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of Southern California, where he was Dean of the School of Religion.

  • JOHN KNOX AFTER FOUR HUNDRED YEARS by W. Stanford
    JOHN KNOX AFTER FOUR HUNDRED YEARS by W. Stanford Reid The year 1972 is the year in which we commemorate the death of John. Knox, the Scottish Reformer. For this reason it is probably a good thing to look back over the intervening centuries to gain perspective on his work. In estimating his achievements and attempting to understand them, we may well learn something, not only of him but also of ourselves. Indeed, we may even gain some knowledge that will help us in our own endeavours in the latter part of the twentieth century. Interpretations o f Knox since 1572 Ever since Knox's own day many different interpretations of him and his work have been made. Some have been strongly in his favor, apparently with the view that he could do nothing wrong. Others have been just as far in the opposite direction, with the attitude that he could do nothing right. A few have attempted to occupy a middle ground, but they have not been entirely successful in convincing either his foes or his friends, for Knox, as during his life time, has evoked strong emotions that incline to be extreme rather than moderate. In the case of the reformer, neutrality has been almost unknown. Those who were against him in his own day adopted this stance sometimes because of his very brusqueness, even violence of language and policy. As Sir Thomas Randolph reported to Sir William Cecil in 1562 when it was rumored that Queen Mary would become an Anglican: I have not conferred with Mr.

  • History and Theology of the Eldership Within the Church of Scotland
    AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY AND THEOLOGY OF THE ELDERSHIP WITHIN THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND DECEMBER 2015 REVD DR ALEXANDER FORSYTH HOPE TRUST RESEARCH FELLOW, NEW COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH 2 INTRODUCTION The Report of the Mission and Discipleship Council to the General Assembly of 2014 notes the creation of the Eldership Working Group following the 2011 Assembly, whose purpose is ‘to look at patterns and models of Eldership currently in use across the Church today and to bring to the attention of the General Assembly ways in which these could be shared, reflected upon and in some cases adapted to encourage appropriate practice in our changing contexts’.1 Deliverance 21 of the 2014 Report asks the General Assembly to commend the Kirk Sessions for their participation in widespread and detailed consultations nationally, and ‘their desire to enhance the effectiveness of the office of elder’. This paper has been commissioned in that context to set out an introduction to the history and theology of the eldership within the Presbyterian tradition in Scotland, in order to contribute to the process of reflection, assessment and potential reform of the role and duties of eldership. The paper seeks to highlight aspects of eldership which in times past defined its existence, a recovery of which may be beneficial. It also highlights the area of missional focus as a potential ‘supra-narrative’ for the future of the eldership, which might provide an lens through which to view decisions as to the purposes and duties of the office, beyond a concentration on narrower areas of contention, such as ‘spiritual’ status or ordination.

DIE CHRISTOLOGIE DES NEUEN TESTAMENTS. By Oscar Cullmann. Tiibingen: J. c. B. Mohr, 1957. viii and 352 pages. Cloth. DM 12. In this book Cullmann aims to go behind the church's later emphasis on the natures of Christ to the New Testament's interest in His activity. It is not so much a study in the locus of Christology as an attempt to determine exactly how the New Testament pictures the person of Jesus Christ. For convenient handling of the material Cullmann takes the principal titles of our Lord and treats them under four main headings: (a) those that apply to Jesus' earthly work (Prophet, Suffering Servant, and High Priest); (b) those that apply to Jesus' future work (Messiah, Son of Man); (c) those that apply to His present work (Lord, Savior) ; and (d) those that apply to His pre-existence (Logos, Son of God, God). This methodological approach is not without its hazards, but Cullmann overcomes the problem of overlap quite skillfully. His critical acumen, as well as his wariness of presuppositions of any variety, is evident on every page. His courageous insistence on a proper distinction between parallel and genetic phenomena, especially in connection with the %UQLO~ and ),6yo~ concepts, should prove heartening to all students who have sensed the weaknesses in presentations like that of Bousset, but have been unable to locate the Achilles' heel.

Emerson. Spiritual Laws In the course of my teaching and lecturing in universities and other institutions, I have discovered during the past decade or more an increasing interest in the concept of karma. It comes out in discussion at the slightest provocation and indeed sometimes with no detectable provocation at all. It is not always well understood. Too often it is so ill understood as to be taken for a kind of fatalism, which it certainly is not, being on the contrary a freewill doctrine, although it is much else besides. Yet, understood well or badly, it commands a lively interest, not least on the part of young people who twenty years ago would not have generally found it so challenging to their outlook on life.
