Home Mission Board Editorial Services Department Collection AR 631 – 8 1 HOME MISSION BOARD EDITORIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT COLLECTION AR 631 – 8 John Caylor, Home Missions magazine, November 1959. Prepared by: Dorothy A. Davis Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives June 2009 Updated November, 2011 2 Home Mission Board Editorial Services Department Collection AR 631 – 8 Summary Main Entry: Southern Baptist Convention. Home Mission Board Editorial Services Department Collection Date Span: 1955 – 1981 Abstract: The Editorial Services Department, part of the Communication Division of the Home Mission Board, produced Home Missions magazine and missions study books and tracts that were distributed through bookstores owned and operated by the Baptist Sunday School Board. The collection contains material in three series – one for each director of the Editorial Services Department: John L. Caylor, Walker L. Knight, and C. William Junker. Included in the collection are correspondence, interviews, and manuscript drafts. Size: 6.5 linear ft. (13 boxes) Collection #: AR 631 – 8 Historical Sketch As part of the Communication Division of the Home Mission Board, the Editorial Services Department published Home Missions magazine and other materials such as mission study books and tracts. The Department distributed these products through Baptist Book Stores, owned and operated by the Baptist Sunday School Board (now LifeWay Christian Resources). From its inception, the editorial section of the Communication Division helped provide the tangible products needed to fulfill the Division’s objective “to provide plans, materials, and information to churches, associations, state conventions, and other Southern Baptist Convention agencies in the support of and involvement in missions in the homeland.” For example, the mission study books were produced annually. The study books centered on a theme chosen by a committee and were often similar to a theme used by other Protestant denominations. The books targeted different age groups – adults, youth, intermediate, juniors, and primaries – and more people learned about the missions efforts undertaken by the Home Mission Board. John L. Caylor served as secretary of the department and editor of Home Missions from1945 – 1959. Walker L. Knight succeeded Mr. Caylor in 1960 following his retirement. Mr. Knight was editor of Home Missions from 1959 – 1983 and incorporated many social issues, such as race and gender, into the magazine’s content. C. William Junker took over as director following Mr. Knight’s resignation in 1983. 3 Mr. Caylor grew up in Alabama, and graduated from Howard College (now Samford University) in Birmingham, Alabama and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He died of cancer December 20, 1966 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Walker L. Knight graduated from Baylor University in 1949 and was the associate editor of the Baptist Standard from 1950 until becoming secretary of the Department and editor of Home Missions in 1959. After leaving the Home Mission Board in 1983, Mr. Knight founded a new independent publication, SBC Today, now Baptists Today, and served as publisher and editor until 1988. C. William Junker worked with the Baptist Sunday School Board from 1957 until moving to the Home Mission Board as director of the Promotion Department in 1980. Mr. Junker graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas. Scope and Content Note The Home Mission Board Editorial Services Department Collection contains six and a half linear feet of materials in thirteen document boxes. Materials include correspondence, interviews, and manuscript drafts. The collection has materials from the tenures of three directors for the Editorial Services Department: John L. Caylor, Walker L. Knight, and C. William Junker. There is a series for each director arranged by their chronological succession. Most of the collection is correspondence between John L. Caylor during his tenure with the Department. Topics within the correspondence relate mainly to his work as editor of Home Missions and other missions materials. In addition, there are a couple of manuscript drafts that Mr. Caylor edited for publication. The series containing Mr. Knight’s materials includes mainly interviews conducted with various missionaries and information related to missionary education and world missions conferences. Researchers should note that there is only one notebook with documents related to projects worked on by William Junker. Arrangement Arranged chronologically by series Provenance The North American Mission Board donated the collection to the Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives in 2004.

  • Colonial Contractions: the Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946
    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

  • Cleopatra II and III: the Queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII As Guarantors of Kingship and Rivals for Power
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Andrea Jördens, Joachim Friedrich Quack (Hg.), Ägypten zwischen innerem Zwist und äußerem Druck. Die Zeit Ptolemaios’ VI. bis VIII. Internationales Symposion Heidelberg 16.-19.9.2007 (Philippika 45), Wiesbaden 2011, S. 58–76 Cleopatra II and III: The queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII as guarantors of kingship and rivals for power Martina Minas-Nerpel Introduction The second half of the Ptolemaic period was marked by power struggles not only among the male rulers of the dynasty, but also among its female members. Starting with Arsinoe II, the Ptolemaic queens had always been powerful and strong-willed and had been a decisive factor in domestic policy. From the death of Ptolemy V Epiphanes onwards, the queens controlled the political developments in Egypt to a still greater extent. Cleopatra II and especially Cleopatra III became all-dominant, in politics and in the ruler-cult, and they were often depicted in Egyptian temple- reliefs—more often than any of her dynastic predecessors and successors. Mother and/or daughter reigned with Ptolemy VI Philometor to Ptolemy X Alexander I, from 175 to 101 BC, that is, for a quarter of the entire Ptolemaic period. Egyptian queenship was complementary to kingship, both in dynastic and Ptolemaic Egypt: No queen could exist without a king, but at the same time the queen was a necessary component of kingship. According to Lana Troy, the pattern of Egyptian queenship “reflects the interaction of male and female as dualistic elements of the creative dynamics ”.1 The king and the queen functioned as the basic duality through which regeneration of the creative power of the kingship was accomplished.

  • Lesson 28 - Luther’S Later Life & Theology - from Wartburg to His Death
    Church History Lesson 28 - Luther’s Later Life & Theology - From Wartburg to His Death 1. Introduction - Earliest Years of the Reformation 1.1. As we saw last time, humanists such as Erasmus had prepared the way for the Reformation. The recovery of Greek and Hebrew, and a desire to return to the original sources, along with the obvious need for reformation in the church, opened the door for great changes to come. 1.2. Luther was the one who was used by God to spark the Reformation. His personal struggles, experiences, and study of the Scripture opened his eyes to the Gospel over several years. This culminated in the nailing of the 95 theses on the door of the church in Wittenberg. 1.3. Although Luther had not intended to do anything other than debate abuses of indulgences and other practices of he church, a firestorm was ignited. As events continued, Luther came to see even more clearly the problems with the practices and beliefs of the church. He came to see that many of these - penance, a false sacramentalism, a wrong view of grace, the priesthood, the papacy, the cult of relics and saints, tradition as equal or more authoritative than Scripture, indulgences, etc. - actually obscured or outright denied the Gospel and the sufficiency of Christ. 1.4. This ended at the Council of Worms where Luther was declared a heretic. This meant that no one was to harbor him or give him aid. However, Frederick had foreseen this and surreptitiously set up to have Luther kidnapped in the woods on the return to Wittenberg.

  • The Book of the Holy Trinity] [Text Not Visible], Manuscript on Parchment Southern Germany Or Austria, C
    Three Alchemical Miniatures from Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit [The Book of the Holy Trinity] [text not visible], manuscript on parchment Southern Germany or Austria, c. 1450-1475 Three full-page miniatures with gilt borders, originally from the same manuscript, slightly rubbed, otherwise in good condition. Mounted on wood, in gilt frames; brief descriptions pasted on the verso of the frames, cut from a catalogue, stamps and seals, witnesses of earlier provenance. Dimensions, framed: 142 x 112 mm.; miniatures, c. 119 x 86 mm. These are three very attractive alchemical miniatures, of a quality that suggests they were once part of an unusually deluxe alchemical manuscript, still unidentified. They are of interest for their iconography, and as evidence of the existence of a deluxe manuscript of Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit, the first alchemical text in German, illustrated by fully-painted miniatures, rather than colored line drawings. PROVENANCE 1. Three miniatures from the same manuscript; since they are now mounted on wood, any script on the verso is inaccessible, but might be recoverable. A fourth miniature from this manuscript is now National Museum of Sweden, B 1587 (reproduced in Nordenfalk, 1979, cat. 32, pp. 116-117; and figs. 238-239, images of two of the miniatures described here, then listed as owner unknown). Given the iconography of these miniatures and their relationship to other manuscripts of the text, one can conclude with a very high degree of certainty that they were originally from a manuscript of Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit (Obrist, 1982, pp. 271- 275), probably from Southern Germany, or possibly Austria in the third quarter of the fifteenth century.

  • Local Dominance Was Complete, For, in the Course of Time, the Junker Had
    ”Local dominance was complete, for, in the course of time, the Junker had become not only an exacting landlord, hereditary serf master, vigorous entrepreneur, assiduous estate manager, and nonprofessional trader, but also the local church patron, police chief, prosecutor, and judge.

  • Ordinary Prussians: Brandenburg Junkers and Villagers, 1500-1840'
    H-German Spickermann on Hagen, 'Ordinary Prussians: Brandenburg Junkers and Villagers, 1500-1840' Review published on Friday, August 1, 2003 William W. Hagen. Ordinary Prussians: Brandenburg Junkers and Villagers, 1500-1840. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003. 712 pp. $100.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-521-81558-1. Reviewed by Roland Spickermann (Department of History, University of Texas-Permian Basin) Published on H-German (August, 2003) In concluding this work on rural history, William Hagen writes, "If [the study's] implications for German history seem far-reaching, so they are meant to be" (p. 654). He does not exaggerate; in researching one Rittergut and its environs, he has discovered that much of what we thought we knew about rural Prussia simply did not fit his data. Hagen had described the Rittergut Stavenow before, in an essay entitled "The Junker's Faithless Servants," but Ordinary Prussians reinforces and extends his original assertions from a few decades to over three centuries.[1] The "faithlessness" of the villagers was apparently not a product of a given era, but an inherent characteristic of their lives. A world we thought was peopled with servile peasants and autocratic, pre-capitalistJunker backed by a repressive royal bureaucracy, instead had litigious farmers challenging Junker in sympathetic royal courts, Junker searching for ways to make estates more profitable, and a dense web of community ties operating with little reference to the Rittergut, much as they would have elsewhere in Europe. Given how much interpretations of Germany's turbulent development rely on the political and economic backwardness of rural Prussia, discovering that Prussians were quite "ordinary" indeed has far-reaching implications for how we must interpret German developments.

  • Capital-Skill Complementarity and the Emergence of Labor Emancipation
    Capital-Skill Complementarity and the Emergence of Labor Emancipation Quamrul H. Ashraf Francesco Cinnirella Oded Galor Boris Gershman Erik Hornung CESIFO WORKING PAPER NO. 6423 CATEGORY 5: ECONOMICS OF EDUCATION ORIGINAL VERSION: MARCH 2017 THIS VERSION: MARCH 2018 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded • from the SSRN website: www.SSRN.com • from the RePEc website: www.RePEc.org • from the CESifo website: www.CESifoT -group.org/wpT ISSN 2364-1428 CESifo Working Paper No. 6423 Capital-Skill Complementarity and the Emergence of Labor Emancipation Abstract This paper advances a novel hypothesis regarding the historical roots of labor emancipation. It argues that the decline of coercive labor institutions in the industrial phase of development has been an inevitable by-product of the intensification of capital-skill complementarity in the production process. In light of the growing significance of skilled labor for fostering the return to physical capital, elites in society were induced to relinquish their historically profitable coercion of labor in favor of employing free skilled workers, thereby incentivizing the masses to engage in broad-based human capital acquisition, without fear of losing their skill premium to expropriation. In line with the proposed hypothesis, exploiting a plausibly exogenous source of variation in proto-industrialization across regions of nineteenth-century Prussia, the initial abundance of elite-owned physical capital that also came to be associated with skill-intensive industrialization is shown to have contributed to the subsequent intensity of de facto serf emancipation. JEL-Codes: J240, J470, N130, N330, O140, O150, O430. Keywords: labor coercion, serfdom, emancipation, industrialization, physical capital accumulation, capital-skill complementarity, demand for human capital, nineteenth-century Prussia.
