ABSTRACT One Christian's Plea: the Life, Ministry, and Controversies Of ABSTRACT One Christian’s Plea: The Life, Ministry, and Controversies of Francis Johnson Kenneth Scott Culpepper Mentor: William H. Brackney, Ph.D. Francis Johnson (1562-1618) served as pastor of the English Separatist congregation that became known as the “Ancient Church” from 1592 until his death in 1618. The congregation was first gathered in London under the guidance of Henry Barrow and John Greenwood before its members fled to Amsterdam in 1593 under Johnson’s leadership to escape persecution by English civil and ecclesiastical authorities. Johnson joined his flock in 1597 after being released from prison. His ministry was filled with strife and conflict as he sought to implement the Separatist ecclesiological ideal of a congregational polity. Despite the turbulence of his early years in Amsterdam, Johnson’s Ancient Church finally enjoyed a period of relative peace and growth from 1604-1608. Johnson caused a split within his own congregation in 1610. This fissure was created by his determination to pursue a more congregational rather than presbyterian polity in response to external conflicts with his former Cambridge pupil, John Smyth. After a self- imposed period of exile from 1613-1617 at Emden, East Friesland, Johnson returned to Amsterdam in 1617 to publish his final polemical work. He died at Amsterdam in 1618. In this research project, the author explored the evolving theological views, career, social context, polemical exhanges, controversies, and writings of Francis Johnson with two primary objectives. The first of these objectives was to analyze the course of Francis Johnson’s ecclesiological views as he transitioned from an early presbyterian position to congregationalism and back to presbyterianism before he finally came to moderate his original hard-line Separatism. The second major objective of this project was to assess Johnson’s contributions to the religious and social context of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Even though Johnson held such an important place in the development of English Separatism and Nonconformity, there has not been a major study of his ministry. Assessments of Johnson’s career have been scattered throughout various general studies of English Separatism that have contributed much to our knowledge of Francis Johnson, but have not focused primarily on him. The purpose of this research project is to fill that unfortunate lacuna with a comprehensive treatment of Johnson’s life, influence and theology.

Foremost among them has been Dr. William H. Brackney. Dr. Brackney has served as mentor, critic, and guide with commendable skill and grace. His contributions to Baylor University through his duties as Professor of Historical Studies and Director, the Program in Baptist Studies, have been invaluable. The author’s choice of this topic for his doctoral research project arose from the mileau of the Baptist Studies Program at Baylor University and hopefully will be a worthy complement to the other fine research and instructional initiatives that have emerged from the Baptist Studies Program. The author would also like to thank the Religion Department of Baylor University and Dr. W. H. Bellinger in particular for their offer of travel funds to aid the completion of this research project. Many thanks also to the second and third readers for this project, Dr. William F. Pitts and Dr. Jeffrey Hamilton, who offered several important suggestions and critiques that have improved the quality of this project. The staff of the Baylor University Library was always ready to meet any request, no matter how far they might have to reach to provide the materials needed. Thanks also to William Karlson, whose friendship and spiritual insight have been a constant encouragement through the course of the doctoral program as well as the completion of this research project. My wife Ginger deserves special thanks for her thorough copy editing and for her loving support. I also want to thank Micah, Josiah, and Hannah Culpepper for their love and support. v CHAPTER ONE Johnson’s Early Life and Cambridge Career 1. Introduction Two sorts of adversaries, the Church still hath among men. The one, of such as be without: the other, of such as arise from within the Church it self. Both heavie enemies: but the latter, far the more grievous, many wayes. By both of them haue we (as others before vs) ben exercised, a long time, and in straunge maner. Yet in and against them all, hath the Lord by his power and of his mercy hitherto preserved vs, and I trust will so do vnto the end.1 The quotation above, taken from the writings of Francis Johnson, provides an apt description of the perennial problem that shaped the contours of his pastoral ministry, polemical writings, and personal theological reflection. Francis Johnson (1562-1618) was conscious of those “adversaries” who dwelt outside the church, yet it was those potential enemies within who might seek to pervert the church who most attracted his attention. Like most English Separatists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Francis Johnson had come to believe that the Established Church of England was a thoroughly corrupt compromise between the pure doctrine and practice of the Protestant Reformers, defined by Johnson as the Reformed tradition, and the idolatrous practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Questions of ecclesiology were not mere matters of opinion for Johnson and his ilk, but rather matters of eternal importance. The proper organization of Christ’s church had been properly set forth by Jesus Christ Himself to His Apostles. Faithful adherence to that pattern of church order and discipline set forth by Christ, in 1Francis Johnson, An inquirie and ansvver of Thomas VVhite his discoverie of Brovvnisme, (Amsterdam, 1606). 1 2 Johnson’s opinion, was essential to the church’s mission of bringing the message of salvation to the elect. Much of Johnson’s career was spent on a quest to define the proper boundaries of the rightly ordered community of faith and bring that community into existence. Over the course of his life, Johnson’s opinions regarding the shape of the ideal Christian community changed, but his zeal to bring that community into existence never waned. Toward the end of his life, a more generous Johnson defined the community of faith in broader terms than he had defined it previously and extended the boundaries of that community to incorporate a larger body of Christians. 2. The Method, Matter, and Manner of This Research Project The purpose of this research project is to present a detailed analysis of the life, theology, context, and controversies of Francis Johnson, pastor of the English Separatist “Ancient Church” from 1592 until his death in 1618. Johnson’s life and ministry are significant and warrant investigation for many reasons that are described in more detail below. The

Mazza, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation examines the citational use of the Judeo-Christian Bible in two sociopolitical debates within the United States: first, the debate over the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century, and second, the contemporary debate over gay rights. This study incorporates two core theses. First, I argue that the contemporary religious right, in its anti-gay use of the Bible, is replicating the hermeneutical practices used by opponents of the abolitionist movement. My second thesis parallels the first: I argue that the contemporary activists who reclaim the Bible as a pro-gay instrument are standing in the same hermeneutical tradition as nineteenth-century Christian abolitionists.

  • Ascol, Thomas (Sep 2007)
    Tom Ascol September 04, 2007 Tom Ascol has served as Pastor of Grace Baptist Church since 1986. Prior to moving to Florida he served as pastor and associate pastor of churches in Texas. He has a BS degree in sociology from Texas A&M University (1979) and has also earned the MDiv and PhD degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas. His major field of study was Baptist Theology. He taught two years as an adjunct professor for New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in their SW Florida extension. Tom serves as the Executive Director of Founders Ministries, an organization committed to reformation and revival in local churches. He edits the Founders Journal, a quarterly theological publication of Founders Ministries, and has written numerous articles and contributed to several books. He regularly preaches and lectures at various conferences throughout the United States and other countries. He also authors the Founders Ministries Blog. 1. What do you see as the greatest strength of the Southern Baptist Convention right now? The greatest strength of the SBC that I see is our unashamed declaration that the Bible is God's infallible, inerrant Word of God. Without commitment to this formal principle of reformation, the many other good things that the SBC does would be undermined and eventually eroded completely. The convention has in place a wonderful structure that is ready to engage many spheres of culture through various ministries (NAMB, IMB, ERLC, Seminaries, LifeWay, etc.). For that structure to serve kingdom purposes as faithfully as it ought, the doctrinal and spiritual advanced that have been taken place over the last 25 years must be strengthened.

  • The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, C. 193 1-1951
    The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, c. 193 1-1951 ABIGAIL LOUISA BEACH University College London Thesis presented for the degree of PhD University of London June 1996 I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development and articulation of ideas of citizenship by the Labour Party and its sympathizers in academia and the professions. Setting this analysis within the context of key policy debates the study explores how ideas of citizenship shaped critiques of the relationships between central government and local government, voluntary groups and the individual. Present historiographical orthodoxy has skewed our understanding of Labour's attitude to society and the state, overemphasising the collectivist nature and centralising intentions of the Labour party, while underplaying other important ideological trends within the party. In particular, historical analyses which stress the party's commitment from the 1930s to achieving the transition to socialism through a strategy of planning, (of industrial development, production, investment, and so on), have generally concluded that the party based its programme on a centralised, expert-driven state, with control removed from the grasp of the ordinary people. The re-evaluation developed here questions this analysis and, fundamentally, seeks to loosen the almost overwhelming concentration on the mechanisms chosen by the Labour for the implementation of policy. It focuses instead on the discussion of ideas that lay behind these policies and points to the variety of opinions on the meaning and implications of social and economic planning that surfaced in the mid-twentieth century Labour party. In particular, it reveals considerable interest in the development of an active and participatory citizenship among socialist thinkers and politicians, themes which have hitherto largely been seen as missing elements in the ideas of the interwar and immediate postwar Labour party.

  • Ugly Rumours: a Mockumentary Beyond the Simulated Reality
    International Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Studies Volume 4, Issue 11, 2017, PP 22-29 ISSN 2394-6288 (Print) & ISSN 2394-6296 (Online) Ugly Rumours: A Mockumentary beyond the Simulated Reality Kağan Kaya Faculty of Letters English Language and Literature, Cumhuriyet University, Turkey *Corresponding Author: Kağan Kaya, Faculty of Letters English Language and Literature, Cumhuriyet University, Turkey ABSTRACT Ugly Rumours was the name of a rock band which was co-founded by Tony Blair when he was a student at St John's College, Oxford. In the hands of two British dramatists, Howard Brenton and Tariq Ali, it transformed into a name of the satirical play against New Labour at the end of the last century. The play encapsulates the popular political struggle of former British leaders, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. However, this work aims at analysing some sociological messages of the play in which Brenton and Ali tell on media and reality in the frame of British politics and democracy. Through the analyses of this unfocussed local mock-epic, it precisely points out ideas reflecting the real which is manipulated for the sake of power in a democratic atmosphere. Thereof it takes some views on Simulation Theory of French philosopher, Jean Baudrillard as the basement of analyses. According to Baudrillard, our perception of things has become corrupted by a perception of reality that never existed. He believes that everything changes with the device of simulation. Hyper-reality puts an end to the real as referential by exalting it as model. (Baudrillard, 1983:21, 85) That is why, establishing a close relationship with the play, this work digs deeper into the play through the ‘Simulation Theory’ and analysing characters who are behind the unreal, tries to display the role of Brenton and Ali’s drama behind the fact.
