  • REINCARNATION- Did the Church Suppress It?
    REINCARNATION- Did The Church Suppress It? by Joseph P. Gudel, Robert M. Bowman, Jr., and Dan R. Schlesinger Toward the beginning of this century belief in reincarnation was restricted to such small groups as the Unity School of Christianity, the Theosophical Society, and Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment. (1) By the 1980s, however, not only had these groups gained well over a million followers, but celebrities such as Jeanne Dixon and Shirley MacLaine had popularized reincarnation for the masses. While fifty years ago relatively few Americans believed in reincarnation, today roughly one-fourth of all Americans accepts it, along with about one-half of the world population. (2) Virtually all modern proponents of reincarnation in the West claim that it "is in complete harmony with the true spirit of Christianity." The early church taught reincarnation, some say, until the sixth century when it was suppressed at a church council. In this article we will examine this claim that the church suppressed the doctrine of reincarnation. REINCARNATION DEFINED The doctrine of reincarnation derives from antiquity, originating in the East, but also found in ancient Greece. It "teaches that the soul enters this life, not as a fresh creation, but after a long course of previous existences on this earth and elsewhere . and that it is on its way to future transformations which it is now shaping for itself." (3) According to the Eastern concept of reincarnation, man depending on his deeds in his previous existence can come back in any type of life form, including various animals, as well as human form.

  • 410 Paul Avis in the Heyday of the Drafting of Ecumenical Documents – Notably Arcic I (1981), the Wcc 'Lima' Document
    410 book reviews Paul Avis In Search of Authority: Anglican Theological Method from the Reformation to the Enlightenment (London and New York: Bloomsbury T&T Clark, 2014), xix + 393 pp. isbn 978-0-5670-2648-4 (pbk). £19.95. In the heyday of the drafting of ecumenical documents – notably arcic I (1981), the wcc ‘Lima’ document Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry (1982), the Anglican-Lutheran Porvoo Common Statement (1993), the Lutheran- Roman Catholic Joint Declaration on Justification (1997) – scholars of many denominations summoned up sufficient courage and openness of mind to look behind the petrified shibboleths of centuries to the common ground of Scripture and the Fathers in order to recover the shared faith in a way that now united rather than divided them. There was abroad in those days an innocent excitement that corporate re-union of the churches was a matter only of time, and not a long time at that. As William Wordsworth put in a different context two centuries ago: Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very heaven!–Oh! times, In which the meagre, stale, forbidding ways Of custom, law, and statute, took at once The attraction of a country in romance! When Reason seemed the most to assert her rights, When most intent on making of herself A prime Enchantress–to assist the work, Which then was going forward in her name! Nevertheless the churches did not seize the kairos moment. The theological ‘famous stone that turneth all’ meagre and stale divisive custom and law ‘to gold’ never became the common currency of believers in the pew.

  • Edward Irving
    Edward Irving: Romantic Theology in Crisis Peter Elliott Edward Irving: Romantic theology in crisis Peter Elliott BA, BD, MTh(Hons.) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………… Peter Elliott Abstract In 1822 a young Church of Scotland minister named Edward Irving accepted a post in London and quickly attracted wide upper-class support. He numbered amongst his friends and admirers the political historian Thomas Carlyle and the Romantic poet-philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge. During the next decade, Irving developed views and practices that could be described as millenarian and proto- pentecostal; his interest in prophecy grew and his Christology became unorthodox. He was ejected from his church and hundreds followed him to begin a new group. Within a short period of time, he was relegated to a subordinate position within this group, which later became the Catholic Apostolic Church. He died in 1834 at the age of 42. This paper examines Irving’s underlying Romanticism and the influences on him, including his complex relationships with Carlyle and Coleridge, and then demonstrates how his Romanticism informed all of his key theological positions, often in tension with the more established Rationalism of the time. In ejecting Irving from his pastorate, the Church of Scotland officials were rejecting his idealistic and Romantic view of Christianity. It was this same idealism, with reference to the charismata, that alienated Irving from a senior role in the nascent Catholic Apostolic Church.

  • Ecclesiology and Ethnography: an Unresolved Relationship
    ecclesiology 14 (2018) 322-337 ECCLESIOLOGY brill.com/ecso Ecclesiology and Ethnography: An Unresolved Relationship Paul Avis Durham and Exeter Universities, uk [email protected] Abstract This article undertakes a critical exploration of the current relationship between ec- clesiology and ‘ecclesial ethnography’. It begins by proposing that ecclesiology should be a realistic, critical and practical discipline and that in these respects it can learn from ethnographical principles. It goes on to raise some questions about how the rela- tionship between ecclesial ethnography and ecclesiology is presented in some recent literature, pointing out instances of over-drawn distinctions, exaggerated claims and methodological naivety. It concludes by affirming the vital role of ethnographical study to the overall theological investigation of the church and suggests that this would be strengthened if the weaknesses mentioned above were addressed. Keywords Ecclesiology – empirical theology – ethnography – induction-deduction – practical theology – theology and science – theory and practice The interface between ecclesiology and ethnography is currently generating interest in the academy and giving rise to significant published discussion. But it seems to me that there are some aspects of the relationship that are prob- lematical Ideally the two disciplines should work in partnership, but, as it is construed in recent literature, their interaction involves certain tensions. This article is a contribution towards easing those tensions and clarifying the rela- tionship between ecclesiology and ethnography in a constructive manner.1 To 1 I am most grateful to Professor Paul Fiddes for commenting on an earlier draft of this article.

  • I. Background and Early Influences
    I. Background and Early Influences ‘our relation to God was a matter of the first importance’ On Monday morning, August 18, 1958, the Daily Mirror printed a picture of a packed queue of people, which stretched from a building on Holborn Viaduct, London, past the ancient parish church of St. Andrews, then rounded the corner and continued for several hundred yards along Shoe Lane. The picture was captioned with a question: ‘Can you guess what these people are queuing for?’ The answer, which the Mirror obviously regarded as extraordinary, was that they were waiting to attend the opening service of a newly re-built church, the City Temple, and especially to hear the church’s distinguished minister, Dr. Leslie Dixon Weatherhead. Unusual though this scene was in the late 1950s, such queues had been normal on Sundays on the Viaduct in the years before the church was destroyed by bombs in 1941. They became a regular sight once again when the church returned to its original home, and they continued to appear whenever Weatherhead preached, even well after he had retired, and long after the days of people flocking to listen to famous preachers were held to be over. The exceptional interest in this event (which attracted the attention not only of the national press in Britain but of newspapers in several other countries as well) is an indication of the remarkable international reputation that Leslie Weatherhead had acquired, and the influence of his ministry. From the mid- 1920s to well into the 1960s, he became established as the best known and most widely popular English preacher.
