Why are some people poor and others are rich? Why do some countries grow economically, while others don't? Why are some regions poor, while others are highly developed? Or, put in the context of rural South Africa: Why do some people have big houses and big cars while others have small houses and no car? While these questions on the determinants of economic success and inequality have long been subject of debate in economic literature, various new approaches to explain economic performance have been developed in the past twenty-five years. According to BARRO and MCCLEARY (2003, 760) “one general conclusion is that successful explanations of economic performance must go beyond narrow measures of economic variables to encompass political and social forces.” SELINGER (2004, 524) even asserts that “the absence of the recognition of culture, and more specifically religion, in development theory and strategy” can explain “the failure of development.” In the wake of the broadening view on the causative factors of economic performance, economic research and development organizations such as the World Bank increasingly recognize religion as a factor that impacts on economic outcomes (GUISO, SAPIENZA, and ZINGALES 2003; NOLAND 2005; DE JONG 2011;

  • Beyond the Bosphorus: the Holy Land in English Reformation Literature, 1516-1596
    BEYOND THE BOSPHORUS: THE HOLY LAND IN ENGLISH REFORMATION LITERATURE, 1516-1596 Jerrod Nathan Rosenbaum A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Jessica Wolfe Patrick O’Neill Mary Floyd-Wilson Reid Barbour Megan Matchinske ©2019 Jerrod Nathan Rosenbaum ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jerrod Rosenbaum: Beyond the Bosphorus: The Holy Land in English Reformation Literature, 1516-1596 (Under the direction of Jessica Wolfe) This dissertation examines the concept of the Holy Land, for purposes of Reformation polemics and apologetics, in sixteenth-century English Literature. The dissertation focuses on two central texts that are indicative of two distinct historical moments of the Protestant Reformation in England. Thomas More's Utopia was first published in Latin at Louvain in 1516, roughly one year before the publication of Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses signaled the commencement of the Reformation on the Continent and roughly a decade before the Henrician Reformation in England. As a humanist text, Utopia contains themes pertinent to internal Church reform, while simultaneously warning polemicists and ecclesiastics to leave off their paltry squabbles over non-essential religious matters, lest the unity of the Church catholic be imperiled. More's engagement with the Holy Land is influenced by contemporary researches into the languages of that region, most notably the search for the original and perfect language spoken before the episode at Babel. As the confusion of tongues at Babel functions etiologically to account for the origin of all ideological conflict, it was thought that the rediscovery of the prima lingua might resolve all conflict.

  • Irenaeus Shed Considerable Light on the Place of Pentecostal Thought for Histories That Seek to Be International and Ecumenical
    Orphans or Widows? Seeing Through A Glass Darkly By Dr. Harold D. Hunter Abstract Scholars seeking to map the antecedents of Pentecostal distinctives in early Christendom turn to standard reference works expecting to find objective summaries of the writings of Church Fathers and Mothers. Apparently dismissing the diversity of the biblical canon itself, the writers of these reference works can be found manipulating patristic texts in ways which reinforce the notion that the Classical Pentecostal Movement is a historical aberration. This prejudice is evident in the selection of texts and how they are translated and indexed as well as the surgical removal of pertinent sections of the original texts. This problem can be set right only by extensive reading of the original sources in the original languages. The writings of Irenaeus shed considerable light on the place of Pentecostal thought for histories that seek to be international and ecumenical. Introduction I began advanced study of classical Pentecostal distinctives at Fuller Theological Seminary in the early 1970s. Among those offering good advice was the then academic dean of Vanguard University in nearby Costa Mesa, California, Russell P. Spittler. While working on a patristic project, Spittler emphasized the need for me to engage J. Quasten and like scholars. More recently I utilized Quasten et al in dialogue with William Henn in a paper presented to the International Roman Catholic - Pentecostal Dialogue which convened July 23-29, 1999 in Venice, Italy. What follows is the substance of the paper delivered at that meeting.i The most influential editions of Church Fathers and Mothers available in the 20th Century suffered from inadequate translation of key passages.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE RAPTURE Tom’s Perspectives by Thomas Ice One of the most often cited objections to pretribulationism is that it is a new teaching in church history having only come on the scene in the 1830s. It is often argued that if the pre-trib rapture were biblical then it would have been taught earlier and throughout church history. In the last decade, individuals have found a number of pre-1830 references to a pre-trib rapture. Here is a summary of that evidence. THE EARLY CHURCH Since imminency is considered to be a crucial feature of pretribulationism by scholars such as John Walvoord,1 it is significant that the Apostolic Fathers, though posttribulational, at the same time just as clearly taught the pretribulational feature of imminence. Since it was common in the early church to hold contradictory positions without even an awareness of inconsistency, it would not be surprising to learn that their era supports both views.

  • Pentecostal Aspects of Early Sixteenth Century Anabaptism
    PENTECOSTAL ASPECTS OF EARLY SIXTEENTH CENTURY ANABAPTISM By CHARLES HANNON BYRD II A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract Early sixteenth century radical Anabaptism emanated in Switzerland during Huldrych Zwingli’s protest against the Roman Catholic Church. Much like Martin Luther, Zwingli founded his reform effort on the Bible being the final arbiter of the faith, sola scriptura, and the sufficiency of the shed blood of Christ plus nothing for eternal salvation, sola fide. Based on these principles both adopted the doctrine of the Priesthood of the Believer which recognized every believer’s Spirit empowered ability to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. These initial theological tenets resulted in the literal reading of the Bible and a very pragmatic Christian praxis including a Pauline pneumatology that recognized the efficacy of the manifestation of the charismata. Radical adherents of Zwingli rejected infant baptism as being totally unbiblical and insisted upon the rebaptism of adults, but only on a personal confession of faith, thus the term Anabaptist.

  • Inquisition (Excerpt from Holy Horrors: an Illustrated History of Religious Murder and Madness, Prometheus Books, 1990) by James
    Inquisition (excerpt from Holy Horrors: An Illustrated History of Religious Murder and Madness, Prometheus Books, 1990) By James A. Haught Christians killed Muslims in the Crusades. Christians killed Jews in many massacres. Meanwhile, another dimension was added: Christians began killing fellow Christians as “heretics.” During the first millennium of the church, execution for doctrinal deviation was rare. In A.D. 385 at Trier, Germany, bishops put to death Priscillian and his followers for doubting the Trinity and the Resurrection. At Alexandria in 415, the great woman scientist Hypatia, head of the Alexandria library, was beaten to death by monks and other followers of St. Cyril, who viewed her science much as the church later viewed Galileo’s. At Constantinople around 550, the Byzantine Emperor Justinian killed multitudes of non-conformists to impose Christian orthodoxy. Otherwise, heresy was a minor issue. After the turn of the millennium, a few prosecutions occurred. King Robert the Pious burned 13 heretics at Orleans in 1022. At Goslar, Germany, a community of Christians - deviants whose beliefs made them unwilling to kill chickens - were convicted of heresy and hanged in 1051. In 1141, priest Peter Abelard was sentenced to life imprisonment because he listed church contradictions in a book titled “Yes and No.” Then, in the 1200s, a storm of heretic-hunting burst upon Europe. The first victims were the Albigenses, or Cathari, centered around Albi, France. They doubted the biblical account of Creation, considered Jesus an angel instead of a god, rejected transubstantiation (belief that the wine and host wafer miraculously become the actual blood and flesh of Jesus during communion), and demanded strict celibacy.

  • Politics of Polygamous People: How a Minority Religion Can Help Us Understand Religion and Politics in America2
    Trent A. Engbers1 Прегледни рад University of Southern Indiana UDK 279.16:32(73) USA POLITICS OF POLYGAMOUS PEOPLE: HOW A MINORITY RELIGION CAN HELP US UNDERSTAND RELIGION AND POLITICS IN AMERICA2 Abstract When Texas State Troopers invaded the Yearning for Zion Ranch occupied by polygamist Mormon’s in 2008, it was the third major raid in American history. Yet, fundamentalist Mormons represent a small and little understood element of the American religious landscape. Nonetheless their struggles in America repre- sent the evolving conflicts between politics and private religious life. This study introduces the doctrine of plural marriage as understood by Fundamentalist Mormons and uses it as a case study to consider five aspects of the relationship between religions and politics in America. This includes a discussion of when government chooses to intervene in the practice of religious groups and the re- sponses of those groups to government involvement, the impact of the federal system on religious actors, the dynamic justifications given for involvement and the constant tension between public concerns and private devotion. Keywords: Fundamentalist Mormons, Latter-Day Saints, religion and poli- tics, polygamy, religious policy Introduction State officials, concerned about women and children’s welfare, surround a community of Mormon3 polygamists4 intent on protecting families and the 1 Trent Engbers is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, IN.

  • Forbidden History of Europe Page Stamp.Qxd
    The Forbidden History of Europe - The Chronicles and Testament of the Aryan 801 opposition to the blinding light of their Elect.528 In this age, politics and religion were so deeply related, that an ideological attack on the Church became an attack on the state political apparatus. As defender of the faith, the state refused to sit idly by while such an unmottley crew of dissenters forged on unabated. State responses to such spiritual rebellion varied depending on the level of relations enjoyed between a given monarch and their Holy See. As time went by both sides turned to violence to defend their rights of belief and worship. It was a religious war rarely fought on the streets, but which proceeded with renewed atrocity, time without end, partitioning whole communities wherever heresy had taken root. The pyres of heretical martyrs, a growing conflagration, provided the eternal fuel for anti-Church sentiment. It seems the more who died, the bigger that hate became. What started out as a fight over the penetration of dualistic dogmas into Europe, ended up a protracted conflict over the execution of heretics by the state. For hundreds of years heresy and astrology had been cut out of Western Europe like a gangrenous sore and all MAGIC RETURNED TO but ceased to exist. But from the 10th Century AD, the timetable for the re-introduction of dualistic heresy, astrology EUROPE IN FULL and high magic was going ahead at some pace, the invasion had begun, with Magi, Manichees, Neo-Manichees, MEASURE Magian-Christians, and pagan gnostics pitting themselves against the Byzantine and Roman inquisitors and heresiographers.

YET, ANOTHER PRE-DARBY RAPTURE STATEMENT by Thomas Ice In the eight years that I have been working as Executive Director of the Pre-Trib Research Center, there have been three major discoveries of writings teaching some form of a pretribulational rapture. The most recent find has been brought forth from an unexpected source that I will reveal to you in this article. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Since many non-pretribulationists often formulate a historical argument against those teaching the pre-trib rapture, it is important to know that some did teach a rapture before the tribulation and distinct from the second coming. Rapture critic Gary DeMar says, “All attempts to find a pretrib Rapture any earlier than around 1830 do not stand up to historical scrutiny.”1 Of course, J. N. Darby himself first discovered pretribulationism from his own biblical studies during December 1826 and January 1827.2 But there are those who preceded Darby, as I have written about in the past.
