Here they are now articles for educational use by anyone who is interested. INTRODUCTION We study history here from a Biblical-Christian world-view. Thus, the presuppositions below are considered foundational for studying and truly understanding history, man and civilization. Oral Roberts’vision of Christ’s healing of mankind in every way included the creation of a university that would explore all realms of academic thought and inquiry and bring healing to the intellect. Oral drew academics from elite ivy leagues schools as well as many universities in the US and abroad. These academicians were and still are diverse, individualistic, gifted, talented, and never agreeable in all things. However, they all were drawn to ORU because of the vision or desire inside them to so their part in a Christian university. The purpose of man on earth is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. However, man fell and his relationship with God, others and ourselves became broken, twisted, distorted and irretrievably lost in sin and the sinful disposition. Jesus Christ became sin who knew no sin in history in order to forgive and pour out his grace and mercy and redeem all who would believe on His name and the one who sent Him, God the Father. The Holy Spirit became our counselor and through the work of sanctification helps all Christians to live in intimate relationship with God and to shed the learned and unlearned sinful tendencies of our hearts to become the glorious creations that we were intended to 3 be. We are meant to live in fellowship with God and to become more like Christ, depending on Him and not on ourselves as we live. He brings us into His purposes and the purposes for which He made us. We must recognize what history around us is all about and here we must recognize the true condition of man. The primary condition of man in history is the desire to be God; that is to replace him and make and remake humanity in a wholly human image and with the desires and purposes that are only and always man-made. Moreover, Satan and a host of spiritual forces underly the events of history and everyday life by influencing the mind of man to act contrary to God’s will or to compromise. For the Christian, God is our only effective weapon in this spiritual warfare. In the midst of this fallen history Christians are given a purpose to bring God joy by loving others as themselves and thus drawing others into His Kingdom. Thus, the Bible, our salvation experiences, and all of history tell us that the nature of our world is fallen. First, we must understand that the world is not the way it should be, it is not the way it was created to be, and it is not the way it is going to be someday when Jesus Christ returns. Therefore, we can expect to find ignorance, disease, illness, accidents, natural disasters, corrupt governments, false religions, and bills to pay every month. There is no perfection or true justice in this world. (Romans 1) Second, we are all fallen, broken, deprived and depraved. Our churches and denominations may use different words to describe these basic facts, but the reality is that we do not function the way we are supposed to. Our flesh wars against our spirit on the battleground of our wills and we are torn within ourselves. We are broken and we sooner or later betray our convictions. We fail to live up to our convictions and are disappointed 4 with our own performances. We do not function the way we want to. We can never be personally perfect. (Romans 7) Third, everyone else in the world is broken also. Even at their best, parents are not always right, wives and husbands are not always right and even one’s best friend is not always right. All saved people must understand the scriptural truth, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Fourth, God is with us. He is not just physically -invisibly with us in our hearts and all around us; He is emotionally with us. God rejoices in a unique relationship with every believer - even when circumstances in that relationship are strained and negative. Even if it means we sometimes hurt God’s feelings, and even when we disappoint Him. He is not like any earthly parent or friend relationship. His love is unconditional. He loves being in relationship with us and longs to forgive, and show His grace and mercy. There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God. Let hell or high water come, He is always there when nobody else is. (Romans 8) Thus, theologically and philosophically the world is a “sad world” because it is fallen and will never be perfect. The world is a “bad world” because I am a sinner. It is a “mad world” because all people are sinners. Because it is a sad, bad, mad world, ouselves and others can become “numbed,” because emotionally we can be tuned out, overwhelmed, inhibited and made dysfunctional. But, thankfully, in the midst of this world and its turmoil God shows up and thus we can be “glad” that God has planned that the story of our lives and of all of history has a good ending. Gary K.

Pranger Queen Victoria (1837-1901) reigned for 63 and one half years. She became the symbol of her age as she shared the qualities of the middle class: thrift, hard work, devotion to family and a supreme sense of propriety. She married German Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The aristocracy still governed English society and they were comfortable in their social conventions. However, they were beginning to lose economic and political power as the middle and industrial classes gained power. Power now was derived from “money” and not “privilege.” England remained essentially agricultural until the 1850’s. Many rural laborers lived at bare subsistence levels. The repeal of the Corn Laws (the protective tariffs of the old mercantilist policies) caused cheap grain imports that in turn caused an agricultural decline, the land clearances, and improved farming and yields for those who owned the land. For poor farmers and landless laborers it meant unemployment or going to the cities to work in the factories. The railway system started in the 1820’s and by 1881 there were 5,000 miles of track. The class system was rigidly maintained on rail coaches. First class had compartments containing up to four. Second class had “hard sleepers” or benches. Third class had to travel in open cars. Iron steamships replaced wooden sailing vessels. In 1866 the first Atlantic cable was laid by the Great Eastern. The first underground railway was opened at Baker street station in London in 1863.

    Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980 Robert L. Richardson, Jr. A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by, Michael H. Hunt, Chair Richard Kohn Timothy McKeown Nancy Mitchell Roger Lotchin Abstract Robert L. Richardson, Jr. Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1985 (Under the direction of Michael H. Hunt) This dissertation examines the origins and evolution of neoconservatism as a philosophical and political movement in America from 1945 to 1980. I maintain that as the exigencies and anxieties of the Cold War fostered new intellectual and professional connections between academia, government and business, three disparate intellectual currents were brought into contact: the German philosophical tradition of anti-modernism, the strategic-analytical tradition associated with the RAND Corporation, and the early Cold War anti-Communist tradition identified with figures such as Reinhold Niebuhr. Driven by similar aims and concerns, these three intellectual currents eventually coalesced into neoconservatism. As a political movement, neoconservatism sought, from the 1950s on, to re-orient American policy away from containment and coexistence and toward confrontation and rollback through activism in academia, bureaucratic and electoral politics. Although the neoconservatives were only partially successful in promoting their transformative project, their accomplishments are historically significant. More specifically, they managed to interject their views and ideas into American political and strategic thought, discredit détente and arms control, and shift U.S. foreign policy toward a more confrontational stance vis-à-vis the Soviet Union.

    Imagination Movers: The Construction of Conservative Counter-Narratives in Reaction to Consensus Liberalism Seth James Bartee Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought Francois Debrix, Chair Matthew Gabriele Matthew Dallek James Garrison Timothy Luke February 19, 2014 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: conservatism, imagination, historicism, intellectual history counter-narrative, populism, traditionalism, paleo-conservatism Imagination Movers: The Construction of Conservative Counter-Narratives in Reaction to Consensus Liberalism Seth James Bartee ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore what exactly bound post-Second World War American conservatives together. Since modern conservatism’s recent birth in the United States in the last half century or more, many historians have claimed that both anti-communism and capitalism kept conservatives working in cooperation. My contention was that the intellectual founder of postwar conservatism, Russell Kirk, made imagination, and not anti-communism or capitalism, the thrust behind that movement in his seminal work The Conservative Mind. In The Conservative Mind, published in 1953, Russell Kirk created a conservative genealogy that began with English parliamentarian Edmund Burke. Using Burke and his dislike for the modern revolutionary spirit, Kirk uncovered a supposedly conservative seed that began in late eighteenth-century England, and traced it through various interlocutors into the United States that culminated in the writings of American expatriate poet T.S. Eliot. What Kirk really did was to create a counter-narrative to the American liberal tradition that usually began with the French Revolution and revolutionary figures such as English-American revolutionary Thomas Paine.

  • Peter Viereck's View of Metternich's Conservative Internationalism

    Peter Viereck's View of Metternich's Conservative Internationalism

    wbhr 1|2012 Peter Viereck’s View of Metternich’s Conservative Internationalism GERGELY EGEDY Writing in 1849 a keen-eyed observer, Gustav von Usedom came to the conclusion that “Metternich was a principle”, “a banner which one part of the century followed while another took a stand against it”.1 Peter Vi- ereck, one of the most influential exponents of the “conservative renais- sance” in the United States after the World War II looked upon Metternich as the “principle” of true conservatism. He held that a political philosophy in the abstract is incomplete, its content can be grasped better if we con- nect it to a historical figure who tried to realize it. In his view it was Klemens von Metternich, the powerful chancellor and foreign minister of the Hapsburg Empire in the first half of the nineteenth century who is “an object lesson not only of short-run conservative action but of an enduring conservative philosophy”. To put it tersely, Viereck was of the view that Metternich had become “conservatism’s lasting symbol”, although in most modern eyes the symbol of conservatism at its most unpopular.2 One of the crucial components of the political principle represented by Metternich is “conservative internationalism”. Viereck had no doubt that the world needed conservative internationalism in the twentieth centu- ry even more than in the nineteenth century. In the foreword to the first, 1949 edition of Conservatism Revisited he expressis verbis stated: in order to reassess the present western crisis, the historian must revisit the earlier crisis most resembling ours. This requires revisiting the “unacknowledged ancestor of our Western union, Metternich’s Concert of Europe…”3 In the following study the present author will try to outline Viereck’s interpreta- tion of Metternichian conservatism, with a special emphasis on conserva- tive internationalism.
