    1 A Short Anthology of Ralph D. Winter’s Key Writings Compiled and edited by Beth Snodderly 2 CONTENTS PREFACE PART ONE: OVERVIEW OF RALPH WINTER’S CONCERNS Mission and evangelism can be seen as a means of recruiting and renewing humans in a struggle which is not basically between God and man but between God-plus-redeemed- man against the kingdom of Satan and his works—Ralph Winter in “The Embarrassingly Delayed Education of Ralph D. Winter.” My Pilgrimage in Mission Are We Building an Enduring Christianity? A Summary of Winter’s Warfare Missiology PART TWO: UNREACHED PEOPLES Unreached Peoples: A people group among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians able to evangelize this people group—Ralph Winter in “Unreached Peoples: The Development of the Concept,” p.135. I Was Bombed by an Explosive Idea Unreached Peoples: The Development of the Concept Beyond Unreached Peoples PART THREE: HISTORY IN MISSIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE The “blessing” of God is, in effect, conditioned upon its being shared with other nations, since those who yield to and receive God’s blessing are, like Abraham, those of faith who subject themselves to God’s will, become part of His Kingdom, and represent the extension of His rule, His power, His authority within all other peoples—Ralph Winter in “The Kingdom Strikes Back.” The Kingdom Strikes Back: Ten Epochs of Redemptive History The Unfinished Epic in Five Acts Seven Men, Four Eras Churchless Christianity PART FOUR: KINGDOM ERA: RESTORING GOD’S REPUTATION BY DESTROYING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL This is a battle to restore in people’s minds the glory of God by helping people to see that not only human but angelic evil is to be identified with Satanic initiative and not God’s initiative —Ralph Winter in “The Embarrassingly Delayed Education of Ralph D.

  • “If God Meant to Interfere”: Evolution and Theodicy in Blood Meridian
    “IF GOD MEANT TO INTERFERE”: EVOLUTION AND THEODICY IN BLOOD MERIDIAN Christopher Douglas The kid spat dryly and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. A lizard came out from under a rock and crouched on its small cocked elbows over that piece of froth and drank it dry and returned to the rock again leaving only a faint spot in the sand which vanished almost instantly.1 The opening pages of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian introduce the character of Judge Holden at an evangelical tent revival meeting held in Nacogdoches in 1849. The anonymous protagonist of the novel, called only “the kid,” has slipped into Reverend Green’s “nomadic house of God” (6) to get out of the rain. He hears the preacher describe the constancy of God’s love—“Don’t you know that he said I will foller ye always even unto the end of the road?” including “these here hell, hell, hellholes right here in Nacogdoches” where the temptations of alcohol and prostitution await (6). This conviction of human sin coupled with God’s promise of constancy set the stage for a presumable altar call: Reverend Green will invite his tent revival audience to recognize their own sinfulness and need for redemption and that only faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, offers the salvation they need. This evangelical invitation to be born again is interrupted by the judge— perhaps the most enigmatic and terrifying character in all American lit- M L 45.2 (Summer 2013) 83 84 Religion & Literature erature—who steps into the tent to address the audience with charges of imposture and iniquity.

  • Prophecy, Cosmology and the New Age Movement: the Extent and Nature of Contemporary Belief in Astrology
    PROPHECY, COSMOLOGY AND THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT: THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF CONTEMPORARY BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY NICHOLAS CAMPION A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Bath Spa University College Study of Religions Department, Bath Spa University College June 2004 Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge helpful comments and assistance from Sue Blackmore, Geoffrey Dean, Ronnie Dreyer, Beatrice Duckworth, Kim Farnell, Chris French, Patrice Guinard, Kate Holden, Ken Irving, Suzy Parr and Michelle Pender. I would also like to gratefully thank the Astrological Association of Great Britain (AA), The North West Astrology Conference (NORWAC), the United Astrology Congress (UAC), the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR) and the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR) for their sponsorship of my research at their conferences. I would also like to thank the organisers and participants of the Norwegian and Yugoslavian astrological conferences in Oslo and Belgrade in 2002. Ill Abstract Most research indicates that almost 100% of British adults know their birth-sign. Astrology is an accepted part of popular culture and is an essential feature of tabloid newspapers and women's magazines, yet is regarded as a rival or, at worst, a threat, by the mainstream churches. Sceptical secular humanists likewise view it as a potential danger to social order. Sociologists of religion routinely classify it as a cult, religion, new religious movement or New Age belief. Yet, once such assumptions have been aired, the subject is rarely investigated further. If, though, astrology is characterised as New Age, an investigation of its nature may shed light on wider questions, such as whether many Christians are right to see New Age as a competitor in the religious market place.

  • General Index: <Em>Wesley and Methodist Studies</Em> Volumes 1–10
    General Index Wesley and Methodist Studies Volumes 1–10 (2009–2018) Christopher D. Rodkey Guide to the Index Tis index covers the frst ten volumes of Wesley and Methodist Studies, beginning with the frst volume (2009) and ending with volume 10/2 (2018). Te editorial team is grateful to the Revd Dr Christopher D. Rodkey for design- ing and drafing the index, and to Fernando Carvalho for his editorial work. Te creation and production of such an index is highly complex. While names, places, and events are relatively straightforward to reference, Wesley and Methodist Studies covers theological and related topics that can be concep- tually challenging to organize. And the indexer is called upon also to make a wide range of contestable judgements, for example, in defning key terms such as ‘Methodist’. Users should therefore see the index as a guide rather than a detailed route map. Given the range and scope of the journal, the index focuses on substantive references to topics in the main body of the text; in general, incidental men- tions, and topics that appear only in footnotes, are not referenced. We would welcome receiving notifcations of index errors and omissions from readers.

INTRODUCTION The death of revivalism has been frequently announced in the obituary columns of the religious press for the past half century. From time to time, solemn funerals have been conducted, processions formed and the corpse decently laid away. Often, a marker has been duly raised to indicate the final resting place of a feature of American religious life which was once vibrantly useful. All the while, there have been a few observers standing to one side who have viewed these obsequies with reservations. To them, there seemed a disquieting aspect about the corpse, an aspect which suggest­ ed that burial should not be proceeded with hastily-signs of life which called for therapy, rather than interment.

A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2016 ABSTRACT SANCTIFICATION AS VIRTUE AND MISSION: THE POLITICS OF HOLINESS Nathan Willowby, B.A., M.Div. Marquette University, 2016 This dissertation considers the political implications of the doctrine of holiness. I proceed by demonstrating the neglect of holiness in political theology, the viability of the holiness movement as an embodied witness of the political implications of the doctrine of holiness, and a biblical trajectory in Leviticus that extends into the New Testament. I describe this scriptural holiness as vocation for all of God’s people through personal formation and outward societal action to extend God’s holiness. With attention to the approaches of political theology and formation, I demonstrate that the holiness movement of the nineteenth century offers an example of holiness in practice that addresses societal problems (e.g., urban housing crisis, intemperance, and slavery). I then propose three theological issues that undermined the political vision of the holiness movement in the twentieth century.

  • Introduction
    ONE Introduction The Rise of New Religions in Modern America Each fall, my hometown of Columbus, Ohio, hosts the Universal Life Expo, a huge convention for alternative spiritual and religious practices held at our local Veterans’ Memo- rial Hall. Since most central Ohioans come from a mainstream Christian or Jewish back- ground, they are usually amazed to discover that right here, a few blocks from the Ohio Statehouse, we have one of the largest gatherings of New Age and alternative spirituality in the country. Featuring over 330 booths and vendors, the Expo describes itself as a “meta- physical extravaganza” off ering “herbs, crystals, jewelry, angels, musical instruments, wholesome food, incense, readings, wellness products, clothing, candles, art, healers, publi- cations, spiritual fulfi llment, and something for everybody, even your pets.”1 The various groups and individuals present include both established religious traditions, such as a group of Tibetan monks who create a large sand mandala, and a vast array of newer spiritual arriv- als, such as Spiritualists, Scientologists, channelers, Reiki therapists, psychics, crystal heal- ers, and professional ghost-hunters. The interested visitor can consult with a Spiritualist medium, have a tarot card reading, receive a quick “stress test” from the Church of Scientol- ogy, have her or his aura photographed, purchase any of the thousands of crystals and other objects on display, and fi nally relax with a stop by the “Cuddle Party.” In many ways, the Expo is a microcosm of religious diversity and of the complex role of spirituality in the con- temporary United States, where hundreds of new spiritual groups exist and compete along- side more established religions in a vibrant but at times chaotic marketplace of religious ideas, practices, goods, and services (fi gure 1.1).

  • Foundations Lectures
    1 Foundations of the World Christian Movement Lectures 1 – 20 by Ralph D. Winter 2 3 Lecture 1 Introduction Ralph Winter has proposed a story about the origins of evil on this planet that firmly attributes the source of this evil to spirit beings (Satan in particular and his many demonic followers), who chose to use their God-given gift of free will to rebel against God. The story places responsibility for overcoming that evil on the shoulders of humans—specifically those who are followers of Christ—who were created in the expectation that they would choose to use their gift of free will to say, “thy Kingdom come, thy will be done” and to participate with God in defeating the evil one and restoring creation to its intended state of displaying the glory of God. Under a burden of evil that God did not intend for it, creation groans as it waits for the Body of Christ to fulfill its mandate to work with God to defeat evil and demonstrate God’s character through participation with God in His mission in this world. Ralph Winter introduces each of the lessons in this course with thought-provoking comments and stories intended to prompt the reader/listener to search for answers to difficult issues. hile the Jewish people were in captivity in Babylon, Isaiah 49:6 was written to tell them “it is a light thing that I shall raise up the tribes of Jacob and W restore the preserved of Israel, I want my salvation to go to the ends of the earth.” I have preached on that verse for many years as a marvelous example of an Old Testament statement of the Great Commission.
