Biographical Sketch Collection of Augustana Synod Letters, 1853–1927 |Page 1 of 11 Documentation included with the transfer makes the following assumption about the collection: “Miscellaneous Letters (Possibly originally part of the Norelius Collection) Group I. 1848-1869 These letters are by a variety of persons addressed in turn to several persons not all of whom are definitely identifiable. They are all related, however, to the founding and early history of the Ev. Luth. Scandinavian (later Swedish) Augustana Synod (later Church). Thus they also relate clearly to early Swedish immigration to the Midwest. -
1. John Colet Colet's View of Man's Nature John Colet (D
THE INTELLECT-WILL PROBLEM IN THE THOUGHT OF SOME NORTHERN RENAISSANCE HUMANISTS: COLET, ERASMUS, AND MONTAIGNE ERWIN R. GANE Pacific Union College, Angwin, California In an earlier essay I have dealt with the intellect-will problem in the thought of Nicholas of Cuss.' In the present article I will treat the same question in the thought of three other Northern- Renaissance humanists: Colet, Erasmus, and Montaigne. Finally in my "Summary and Conclusion" at the end of this essay, I shall endeavor to draw some comparisons and contrasts covering all four of the men. 1. John Colet Colet's View of Man's Nature John Colet (d. 1519), perhaps most famous as an English educator in Oxford and London, adhered to the Augustinian doctrine of original sin, involving inherited guilt and universal human depra~ity.~When Adam sinned the whole race sinned so that his descendants were born with depraved natures and per- verted intellects and wills, subject to the sentence of eternal death. Leland Miles suggests that Colet argued for a tendency to evil in fallen man with no "absolute obliteration of free will."3 Ernest Hunt quotes Colet to prove that his concept involved total depravity of reason and will in relation to spiritual matters: lSee AUSS 12 (July 1974): 83-93. The introductory section in that earlier essay (pp. 83-84) outlines more specifically the particular problem treated in both articles, and it may therefore be useful to reread that section as an introduction to the material being presented now. aLeland Miles, John Colet and the Platonic Tradition (La Salle, Ill., 1961), pp. -

The Historic Episcopate
THE HISTORIC EPISCOPATE By ROBERT ELLIS THOMPSON, M.A., S.T. D., LL.D. of THE PRESBYTERY of PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA tEfce Wtstminmx pre** 1910 "3^70 Copyright, 1910, by The Trustees of The Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work Published May, 1910 <§;G!.A265282 IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACADEMIC USAGE THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE PRESIDENT, FACULTY AND TRUSTEES OF MUHLENBERG COLLEGE IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION OF HONORS CONFERRED PREFACE The subject of this book has engaged its author's attention at intervals for nearly half a century. The present time seems propitious for publishing it, in the hope of an irenic rather than a polemic effect. Our Lord seems to be pressing on the minds of his people the duty of reconciliation with each other as brethren, and to be bringing about a harmony of feeling and of action, which is beyond our hopes. He is beating down high pretensions and sectarian prejudices, which have stood in the way of Christian reunion. It is in the belief that the claims made for what is called "the Historic Episcopate" have been, as Dr. Liddon admits, a chief obstacle to Christian unity, that I have undertaken to present the results of a long study of its history, in the hope that this will promote, not dissension, but harmony. If in any place I have spoken in what seems a polemic tone, let this be set down to the stress of discussion, and not to any lack of charity or respect for what was for centuries the church of my fathers, as it still is that of most of my kindred. -
The Stained-Glass Stories of the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul an Independent Study Project by Aidan Tait ’04
A Hundred-Year Narrative: The Stained-Glass Stories of the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul an Independent Study Project by Aidan Tait ’04 We are so fortunate to visit daily a place as sacred as this. -Rev. Kelly H. Clark, Ninth Rector of St. Paul’s School The Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul became the focal point of the campus upon its construction and consecration in 1888. Today the Chapel Tower pales only in comparison to the School’s power plant; its hourly bells can be heard from all over the campus. Both figuratively and literally, the building cannot be overlooked in the discussion of School history. And as St. Paul’s prepares to celebrate its 150th anniversary during the 2005-2006 academic year, the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul remains of utmost importance in the minds of alumni, faculty, and students alike. Each year the Rector receives new students to the School by welcoming into their Chapel seats; departing seniors use their last day in Chapel to sit in the very seats they occupied as new students. Indeed, the Chapel has a sort of aura about it—of both personal and School history—that makes it meaningful and unforgettable in the minds of those who live here. While taking photographs of the Chapel one Thursday during Spring Term, I met a man from Boston who commuted daily through the area and had decided that afternoon to tour the Big Chapel. He came up to me, his eyes wide with the experience of taking in the building for the first time. -
Historical Survey of Hermeneutics and Homiletics: a Summative Paper
HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS: A SUMMATIVE PAPER by Charles E. Handren B.A., California Baptist University, 1995 M.Div., American Baptist Seminary of the West, 1999 A POST-COURSE ASSIGNMENT FOR MN 9101-01 HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS Submitted to the faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MINISTRY Concentration in Preaching at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Deerfield, Illinois June, 2013 HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS: A SUMMATIVE PAPER In the spring of 2011, I took a Doctor of Ministry course at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School entitled, “Hermeneutics and Homiletics.” One of the required readings was Dennis Johnson’s fine work, Him We Proclaim: Preaching Christ from all the Scriptures. Part one of this book, and particularly chapter four, provides an overview of the history of hermeneutics and homiletics which both aided my understanding of the subject and exposed a significant gap in my knowledge. Specifically, Johnson helped me to see how little I knew about the interpretation and proclamation of the Bible over the last twenty centuries, and how significant a bearing this history has on current issues and debates. Since my Doctor of Ministry concentration is preaching, I thought this gap unacceptable and thus requested an independent reading course which was eventually entitled, “Historical Survey of Hermeneutics and Homiletics.” I set two objectives for the course. First, I aimed to develop a broad and general understanding of the history of the relationship between hermeneutics and homiletics in the Christian church. I have fulfilled this aim by reading a little over five-thousand pages of secondary material, and by building a basic mental framework which now needs to be clarified, strengthened, and built out. -

Unity, Ecumenicity, and Difference in the Augustana Synod
Unity, Ecumenicity, and Diff erence in the Augustana Synod by Derek R. Nelson uried beneath the headlines about human sexuality at the BEvangelical Lutheran Church in America’s most recent churchwide assembly in August 2009 was a little-heralded full communion agreement between the ELCA and the United Methodist Church. This was the sixth such bi-lateral agreement between the ELCA and an ecumenical partner (the others are the Presbyterian Church USA, the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ, the Moravian Church, and the Reformed Church in America), and the fi rst such agreement for the United Methodist Church. This is a signifi cant moment in the life of the Lutheran and Methodist communions, since no other country has seen such an agreement between a Lutheran and a Methodist church body, even though both are certainly regarded as international Christian churches.1 Further, while this is arguable, the full communion agreement with the United Methodist Church marks the greatest reach, doctrinally speaking, for the ELCA to date. Co-operation in signifi cant ways has long been a feature of Lutheran-Reformed and Lutheran-Episcopal life in the United States. But such mutual ministry as we may now see between the United Methodist Church and the ELCA would have been unthinkable to most in the days of the Augustana Synod. For example, even the otherwise ecumenically minded pioneer pastor Lars Paul Esbjörn refused assistance from the Methodist church in America after his immigration.2 He rebuked them for “the stain on its Christian name” -

I. /7 Abstract Approved: T/?1~T?·T ;Ri '- ______--, Kansas Is a State Blessed with Many Riches, the Greatest of Which Is Her People
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Thomas N. Holmquist for the Masters of Arts in History presented on January 3, 1994 Title: Pioneer Cross, Swedish Settlements Alanq The SmoKY Hl~ ~a--, , I. /7 Abstract approved: t/?1~t?·t ;rI '- ______--, Kansas is a state blessed with many riches, the greatest of which is her people. This state is made up of a patchwork of diverse cultures and ethnic groups. Many areas are notable primarily because they have retained the cultural identity that their pioneer ancestors brought with them from their countries of origin. One such area is the Smoky Valley of central Kansas. Here on the banks of the Smoky Hill River, Swedish pioneers settled just over 125 years ago. They brought with them their culture, language, and their love of art and music. Within a few years, they developed one of the largest Swedish settlements in the United States. Originally, two independent companies were formed to settle the Smoky Valley. The Swedish Agricultural Company of McPherson County, Kansas settled the land where the city of Lindsborg now stands. Its history has been documented in numerous scholarly writings, However, the equally important Galesburg Colonization Company has been ignored by scholars, The Galesburg Company was the larger of the two organizations and settled a much larger area. This company founded the Fremount and Salemsberg Lutheran Churches and subsequently the towns of Marquette, Smolan, and Assaria. The purpose of this thesis is to bring forward the history of the Galesburg Colonization Company and the extraordinary Swedish pioneers who settled within those communities.
