H. Cook Hearing Voices, Demonic and Divine Experiences of hearing the voice of God (or angels, demons, or other spiritual beings) have generally been understood either as religious experiences or else as a feature of mental illness. Some critics of traditional religious faith have dismissed the visions and voices attributed to biblical characters and saints as evidence of mental disorder. However, it is now known that many ordinary people, with no other evidence of mental disorder, also hear voices and that these voices not infrequently include spiritual or religious content. Psychological and interdisciplinary research has shed a revealing light on these experiences in recent years, so that we now know much more about the phenomenon of “hearing voices” than ever before. The present work considers biblical, historical, and scientic accounts of spiritual and mystical experiences of voice hearing in the Christian tradition in order to explore how some voices may be understood theo- logically as revelatory. It is proposed that in the incarnation, Christian faith nds both an understanding of what it is to be fully human (a theological anthropology), and God’s perfect self-disclosure (revelation). Within such an understanding, revelatory voices represent a key point of interpersonal encounter between human beings and God. Christopher C. H. Cook is Professor of Spirituality, Theology and Health in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University, an Honorary Minor Canon at Durham Cathedral, and an Honorary Chaplain with Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV). He trained in medi- cine, at St George’s Hospital Medical School, London, and then undertook postgraduate training in psychiatry at Guys Hospital, London. He was an Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist with TEWV until 2017. Christopher was ordained as an Anglican priest in 2001. He has research doctorates in psy- chiatry and in theology and is Director of the Centre for Spirituality, Theology and Health at Durham University. He is the author of The Philokalia and the Inner Life (James Clarke, 2011) and co-editor of Spirituality and Narrative in Psychiatric Practice (with Andrew Powell and Andrew Sims, RCPsych Press, 2016) and Spirituality, Theology & Mental Health (SCM Press, 2013). He is a member of the core research team for the Hearing the Voice project at Durham University. “With expertise in both theology and psychiatry, Professor Christopher Cook is ideally placed to examine the complexities around the hearing of voices in spiritual and religious contexts. His book is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the scientific and theological research in the area. It is also a delightfully engaging read.” Charles Fernyhough, Director and Principle Investigator, Hearing the Voice, Durham University, UK “Hearing Voices, Demonic and Divine, is a careful and comprehensive account of the voice-hearing phenomenon. Unlike other such surveys, Cook takes seriously the possibility that voices communicate divine intention. Cook explores the vexed problem of discerning whether and when spirit speaks with thoughtfulness, empathy and wise caution.” Tanya Marie Luhrmann, Howard H. and Jessie T. Watkins University Professor of Anthropology, Stanford University, USA “The experience of hearing voices is something that is common to religious experiences and to those experiences that some determine as unusual or pathological. Untangling the complex origins and meanings of voice hear- ing is not an easy task, especially if we take into consideration issues around religion and theology. The dual temptation to under or over spiritualise voice hearing is alluring and difcult to avoid. Christopher Cook recognises this difcult tension, but also realises that it is not enough simply to parti- tion voices with some assumed to be the responsibility of psychiatrists and others open to the discernment of religion and theology. The phenomenon of voice hearing requires an integrated approach that takes seriously the insights that can be gleaned from disciplines such as psychiatry, psychology, biology and neurology, whilst at the same time taking equally as seriously the insights that theology and Christian tradition brings to the conversation. All of these perspectives in turn require to take cognisance of the profound importance of listening to the personal narratives of voice hearers. Voices do not occur apart from people. If we forget that we risk losing the soul of our therapeutic and scientic endeavours. It is within this crucial hospitable conversation that new insights and fresh possibilities emerge. This power- ful and well-argued interdisciplinary reection on hearing voices opens up vital space for re-thinking the phenomenon of voice hearing and opening up new possibilities for understanding and responding. This is a helpful and important book.” John Swinton, Professor in Practical Theology and Pastoral Care and Chair in Divinity and Religious Studies, University of Aberdeen, UK Hearing Voices, Demonic and Divine Scientific and Theological Perspectives Christopher C.

I am particularly grateful to all of my colleagues in the Hearing the Voice project at Durham University, and especially Charles Fernyhough, Ben Alderson-Day, Corinne Saunders, Pat Waugh, and Angela Woods. I have learned so much from them, and from the wider team, especially at Friday afternoon meetings of Voice Club, but also in collegial conversa- tions over coffee and in the many conferences and events on which we have worked together. Charles and Angela have kindly also read and commented on draft chapters of the book. This book has touched on a variety of areas of scholarship that are not my primary area of expertise. I have learned a lot along the way from my col- leagues in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University. Especial thanks go to Stephen Barton, Douglas Davies, Jane Heath, Karen Kilby, and Walter Moberly, all of whom read draft chapters and provided me with helpful comments and feedback. Collaborators and friends from far aeld have also helped in a variety of ways. Thanks go to all my col- leagues in the Spirituality and Psychiatry Special Interest Group at the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and especially to Andrew Powell.

    Navigating the Murky Waters: A Guide to Making Sense of Vocal Jazz Ensemble Charts Andrew N. Dahan [email protected] University of Miami Frost School of Music FMEA 2014 Professional Development Conference January 9, 2014 2:45 pm A Brief History of Vocal Jazz As jazz has evolved in our country, many vocalists have contributed to the art form. Many of us already know that singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday (to name a few) brought different ideas and styles to their performances, which in turn made them stand out in the jazz world. What many people may not know is Louis Armstrong is considered to be the person responsible for establishing singing as a part of the jazz scene. He also is the person responsible for setting the precedent that vocalists take a more “instrumental” approach when singing jazz. The post-war era brought the emergence of the jazz ensemble, or big band. Vocalists were often featured with these bands and shortly thereafter, small vocal jazz ensembles like Lambert Hendricks & Ross began to surface. By the 70’s, many small ensembles including the Singers Unlimited and the Manhattan Transfer really had established notoriety in the jazz world, and groups such as the New York Voices, The Real Group, and Vertical Voices continue the tradition today. The first school-affiliated vocal jazz ensembles as we know them today began in Community Colleges in the Pacific Northwest. Since music often wasn’t available for that type of ensemble, they sang actual jazz band charts that had been rearranged for singers.

Catherine was the youngest Sof twenty-fve children – a large family even by the standards of the day. However, her father was a well-to-do businessman and supported the family well. At an early age, Catherine spoke of visions; those visions sealed her vocation. Her parents coaxed her toward the usual interests of personal appearance and marriage, but she would have none of that. She cut of her golden-brown hair and dedicated her life to God. She was a fery, determined and, at times, pompous woman. She eventually joined the Dominican order – not as a vowed religious nun, but as a member of the “third order,” in which women dedicated their lives to God in the Dominican tradition but lived in their own homes and worked to support themselves. To keep the numbers of clergy at a sufcient number, little attention was paid to the quality of the candidates for C4 Meditation Nineteen priesthood.

  • The Role of Creatures in the Spiritual Life
    THE ROLE OF CREATURES IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE To what extent should the Christian love and use the good things of this world, and to what extent should he renounce them? This is the question at issue. It is the problem of the transcendent, supernatural vocation of the Christian and his existential condition in the world on the practical level of ascetical attitudes. It is the problem of engagement and detachment. We take the term creatures in a dynamic and not a static sense, as objects of human acts rather than entities existing apart from man. Creatures embrace the whole hierarchy of humanistic values, all human goods that are legitimate objects of man's love and effort.1 We include whatever natural and supernatural goodness that is found in these human values under the one notion of their created goodness and prescind from the controverted question of the objective permanent value in terrestrial realities.2 1 Created goods are personal, e.g. health, money, love and being loved or social, e.g. culture, civilization, temporal structures; they include the goods' of nature and of art and technology, whether these directly serve the body, like the comforts of climate or furniture, or the mind, like recreation or work! or the human spirit, such as knowledge and love. The classification of these goods and their objective relation to the supernatural economy of grace is the object of the theology of terrestrial reality; our viewpoint, that of spiritual theology, is their subjective repercussions in the spiritual life and ideal attitudes to be fostered toward them.

  • Embodiment, Phenomenology and Listener Receptivity of Nirvana’S in Utero
    ‘WE FEED OFF EACH OTHER’: EMBODIMENT, PHENOMENOLOGY AND LISTENER RECEPTIVITY OF NIRVANA’S IN UTERO Christopher Martin A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Jeremy Wallach Becca Cragin Angela Nelson ii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Despite the fact that listening to recorded music is a predominant form of human interaction with music in general, music scholarship often continues to classify listening as a passive form of reception in comparison to the “activity” of actual music performance. This thesis presents the idea that music listening is actually an embodied and agentive form of reception that varies according to different listeners, their listening strategies, and other surrounding contexts. In order to provide detailed analysis of this assertion, Nirvana’s 1993 album In Utero is the primary recording that this thesis examines, arguing that the album contains specific embodied properties that ultimately allow for embodied forms of listening and responses within the musical experience. Phenomenological reasoning and scholarship from popular music studies, history, cultural studies, and other humanities fields contribute to the central argument. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe an oversized thank you to the following friends and family for their support: Pat and Priscilla Martin, Veronica Martin, Linda Coleson, and my colleagues in the Popular Culture department. Aaron Weinacht and Patrick Blythe earn special thanks for their continuing willingness to participate in arguments and theories that, as always, range from prescient to ridiculous. Kandace Virgin also deserves my thanks and love for patiently tolerating my stubbornness and need to constantly work ahead, as well as my other idiosyncrasies.
