Each volume has grown in size. Volume One has 150 pages, Volume Two (1966) has 200 pages, and Volume Three (1971), 250 pages. Volume Four (1976) has more than 400 pages.

At present we want the present material in Volume Four to get into the hands and hearts of those who have waited so patiently for its publication. Please notice the rather complete bibliography in each of the volumes. Such extensive publishing on the subject of the Holy Spirit should give some indication of His importance to many people. In the preparation of Volume Four, we have made ourselves acquainted with several books on each verse we have considered on the Holy Spirit. We want our readers to know of the splendid resources available. We quote from a rather large number of authors. Buy these books and read them.

McCarthy iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While the production of a dissertation is commonly idealized as a solitary act of scholarly virtuosity, the reality might be better expressed with slight emendation to the oft- quoted proverb, “it takes a village to write a dissertation.” This particular dissertation at least exists only in light of the significant support I have received over the years. To my dissertation committee Ann Taves, Kathleen Moore and, especially, advisor Juan Campo, I extend my thanks for their productive advice and critique along the way. They are the most prominent among many faculty members who have encouraged my scholarly development. I am also indebted to the Council on Information and Library Research of the Andrew C. Mellon Foundation, which funded the bulk of my archival research – without their support this project would not have been possible. Likewise, I am grateful to the numerous librarians and archivists who guided me through their collections – in particular, UCSB’s retired Middle East librarian Meryle Gaston, and the Near East School of Theology in Beriut’s former librarian Christine Linder.

The Working Class Perspective The histories of the welfare state have hitherto, on the whole, been written from above. Their searching eye has been firmly fixed on governments and Civil servants, and mainly with a view to looking into what the latter have contributed to the development of what from today's perspective appears to be the main feature of the welfare state, social insurance and large-scale income maintenance programmes. The best of these works embody an impressive scholarship, combining meticulous with imagination and subtlety.1 But their approach tends to preclude from the outset a full understanding of the emergent reality of the welfare state. After all, the latter arose as form of dealing with what was once called "the working and dangerous classes".

  • DSA's Options and the Socialist International DSA Internationalism
    DSA’s Options and the Socialist International DSA Internationalism Committee April 2017 At the last national convention DSA committed itself to holding an organizational discussion on its relationship to the Socialist International leading up to the 2017 convention. The structure of this mandatory discussion was left to DSA’s internationalism committee. The following sheet contains information on the Socialist International, DSA’s involvement with it, the options facing DSA, and arguments in favor of downgrading to observer status and withdrawing completely. A. History of the Socialist International and DSA The Socialist International (SI) has its political and intellectual origins in the nineteenth century socialist movement. Its predecessors were the First International (1864-1876), of ​ ​ which Karl Marx was a leader, and the Second International (1889-1916). In the period of ​ the Second International, the great socialist parties of Europe (particularly the British Labour Party, German Social Democratic Party, and the French Section of the Workers International) formed and became major electoral forces in their countries, advancing ideologies heavily influenced by Marx and political programs calling for the abolition of capitalism and the creation of new systems of worker democracy. The Second International collapsed when nearly all of its member parties, breaking their promise not to go to war against other working people, rallied to their respective governments in the First World War. The Socialist Party of America (SPA)—DSA’s predecessor—was one of the very few member parties to oppose the war. Many of the factions that opposed the war and supported the Bolshevik Revolution came together to form the Communist International in 1919, which over the course of the 1920s became dominated by Moscow and by the 1930s had become a tool of Soviet foreign policy and a purveyor of Stalinist orthodoxy.

  • An Analysis and Critique of Evangelical Approaches To
    Glyn Jones TH7025 – Research dissertation Chapter 1 An Analysis and Critique of Evangelical Approaches to Evangelism in the 21st Century 1 Glyn Jones TH7025 – Research dissertation Chapter 1 Contents Page Contents ii Introduction iii Chapter 1 Evangelism & Evangelicalism 1 Chapter 2 Outside of Church 18 Chapter 3 A Shift in Thinking 38 Chapter 4 An Emerging Church 52 Chapter 5 A Way Forward 63 Bibliography 71 2 Glyn Jones TH7025 – Research dissertation Chapter 1 Introduction In this thesis, I will explore how mission and evangelism are best conducted today. The investigation is important for two reasons: as well as training to become an Anglican minister, I lead a charity and a training programme which aims to ‘Demonstrate the Christian message in a relevant way and equip others to do likewise’ (The Light Project, 2011). As a consequence, it is of the utmost vocational significance. The second reason is more general: Christians all over the globe contend that the message and life of Jesus Christ is essentially good news. Consequently, it would seem strange, or even scandalous, that any good news should be communicated in a way which renders it ordinary, irrelevant or even bad. ‘Good news need to be understood as good news, otherwise it is no news, which is bad news.’ (Duffet 2009,121). Mission and evangelism are the church’s primary means of portraying this message to the world around it. There are several different lenses through which one can examine the question of what constitutes mission and evangelism. Bosch (1991) discusses the variety of understandings and Barret has listed over 79 definitions (Barret 1987 in Bosch 1991,409).

Abstract The admission of children to communion on baptism without confirmation introduced a debate about how to define membership in the Anglican Church of Canada. Declining membership raised concerns around attracting new members. Using a Grounded Theory approach the researcher interviewed individuals from three numerically growing Anglican Church of Canada parishes. The purpose of the interviews was to determine their understandings of parish identity, evangelism, membership and belonging. Analysis of the recorded and transcribed responses from the Rector, one long term member and two newcomers included identification of key words, repeated phrases and common themes.
