It investigates the question of what happened to nationwide prayer days, which were ordered on royal authority, when Charles’s authority was challenged in the 1640s and two rival authorities began to order occasions. It then analyses their continuities and changes through the 1650s and re- emergence in the traditional model at the Restoration.

    SCARBERRY.DOC 2/11/2009 9:11:22 AM John Leland and James Madison: Religious Influence on the Ratification of the Constitution and on the Proposal of the Bill of Rights Mark S. Scarberry* Leland’s self-written Epitaph: “Here lies the body of John Leland, who labored 67 years to promote piety and vindicate the civil and religious rights of all men.”1 “He played a substantial part in molding [an] American tradition that is full of meaning to all of us today—the separation of church and state in the United States. Much of Leland’s sixty-seven year career as a Baptist evangelist was expended in fighting to remove [religious] disabilities—not only for Baptists but for persons of all faiths, Christian and non-Christian, and even for those who held no recognized religious faith. [H]e was as courageous and resourceful a champion of the 2 rights of conscience as America has produced.” * Copyright © 2008 Mark S. Scarberry, Professor of Law, Pepperdine University School of Law.

Draft: Sept. 12, 2008 Corruption of Religion and the Establishment Clause Andrew Koppelman* Government neutrality toward religion is based on familiar considerations: the importance of avoiding religious conflict, alienation of religious minorities, and the danger that religious considerations will introduce a dangerous irrational dogmatism into politics and make democratic compromise more difficult. This paper explores one consideration, prominent at the time of the framing, that is often overlooked: the idea that religion can be corrupted by state involvement with it. This idea is friendly to religion but, precisely for that reason, is determined to keep the state away from religion. If the religion-protective argument for disestablishment is to be useful today, it cannot be adopted in the form in which it was understood in the 17th and 18th centuries, because in that form it is loaded with assumptions rooted in a particular variety of Protestant Christianity.

For many weeks, crowds had milled around the town hall watching as others left offerings of milk, salt, and handwoven cheesecloth at the door. Inside, a cider mill was fitted with a large hoop, and the milk was pressurized while the people of Cheshire sang hymns and prayed over their labor.

While anti-mission Baptists maintained their distance from “worldly” non- Baptist society, missionary Baptists attempted to convert and transform “the world.” Anti- mission Baptists feared that large-scale missionary and benevolent societies would slowly accumulate money and influence, and that they would use that influence to infringe on the autonomy of local congregations and the religious liberty of the nation.

The word ‘reformation’ was widely used during these centuries, but its meaning changed in significant ways. By adopting a linguistic methodology, the dissertation studies reformation as a concept in motion; consequently, the English Reformation, a term widely used today, is treated not as an analytic category but as a historiographical label that developed contingently. The chapters fall into three roughly equal sections, each of which covers a distinct discourse of reformation. Chapters one and two cover the first discourse, which identified reformation as the work of a church council. This discourse began at the Council of Constance (1414 – 1418) and remained firmly in place in all Christian localities through the mid-sixteenth century, when it was challenged by a new discourse: reformation by armed resistance, which is introduced at the end of chapter two and discussed in chapters three and four.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Quartering the Wind: Early Modern
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Quartering the Wind: Early Modern Nature at the Fringe of Politics A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of English By Seth Swanner EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 © Copyright Seth Swanner 2017 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT “Quartering the Wind” explores the unorthodox, unstable, and seditious political values that undermined early modern English arguments for what is “natural” in human governance. I examine texts that expose a politically intricate natural world that serves no single model of orthodox politics. While ecocritical treatments of political analogies drawn from early modern nature often focus on Elizabethan visions of political and natural unity, this dissertation documents a post-Elizabethan history of political fracture, read with and through the natural world’s volatility. An array of seventeenth-century ruptures in the “natural” order of things— including the Gunpowder Plot, the 1625 plague, and the English Civil War—inspired alternative visions of “nature.” These visions seemed to justify not the “natural” monarchy of conventional Elizabethan analogy but, rather, subversive political categories such as treason, tyranny, and rebellion. By tracing the history of the corrosion of old analogies, I demonstrate how an unruly nature resists convenient human political ascriptions and how no coherent vision of human authority—whether over animals, natural resources, or other humans—is “natural.” 4 TABLE OF
