  • Holston Methodism
    HOLSTON METHODISM REV. THOMAS STRINGFIELD. HOLSTON METHODISM FROM ITS ORIGIN TO THE PRESENT TIME. By R. N. PRICE. VOLUME III. From the Year 1824 to the Year 1844. Nashville, Tenn.; Dallas, Tex.: Publishing House of the M. E. Church, South. Smith & Lamar, Agents. 1908. Entered, according to Aet of Congress, in the year 190S, By R. N. Pkice, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. The tardiness with which the successive volumes of this work have been issued has evidently abated somewhat the interest of preachers and people in it; but this tardiness has grown out of circumstances which I have not been able to control. There is more official matter in this volume than in its predecessors, making it a little less racy than the oth- ers; but the official matter used is of considerable historic value. Thus while the volume is heavier than the others as to entertaining qualities, it is also heavier as to historic importance. The chapters on Stringfield, Fulton, Patton, Sevier, Brownlow, and the General Conference of 1844 are chapters of general interest and thrilling import, not on ac- count of ability in the writing, but on account of the in- trinsic value of the matter recorded. I owe my Church an explanation for dwelling so much at length upon the life of Senator Brownlow. It is my busi- ness to record history, not to invent it. A Methodist preach- er who lived as long as Brownlow did, was constantly be- fore the public, took an active part in theological and eccle- siastical controversies, was so gifted and was such a pro- digious laborer, must necessarily have made much history, which could not be ignored by an honest historian.

  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.

  • Theological Criticism of the Bible

Capetz Professor of Historical Theology United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities New Brighton, Minnesota new era in Protestant theology was inaugurated with the publication of Karl Barth’s ground-breaking commentary ince Bultmann was a Lutheran on Paul’s Epistle to the Romans (1919, 1922).1 This his- Atorical judgment is in keeping with the impact that Barth himself Swhereas Barth was a Calvinist, their hoped the book would have on his contemporaries. Negatively, debate in the matter of Sachkritik can he intended it to signal a break with the regnant historical-critical method of biblical exegesis (“historicism”) that had characterized be viewed as a modern reprise of the liberal Protestant theology in the nineteenth century. Positively, he aspired to recover the sort of “theological exegesis” of Scrip- earlier difference between Luther and ture exemplified by Luther and Calvin in the sixteenth century. Calvin. Distinctively twentieth-century Protestant theology thus began with Barth’s critique of one approach to biblical exegesis coupled with his call for retrieval of another approach. Both critique and mann perceived an inconsistency in Barth’s practice, since Barth retrieval stood in the service of his overriding concern to make had opened the door to Sachkritik in his Romans commentary the Bible central again to the preaching and theology of his own (even if he himself refused to walk through it, a point to which day much as it had been to that of the Reformers.

  • Philip Melanchthon in the Writings of His Polish Contemporaries
    ODRODZENIE I REFORMACJA W POLSCE ■ SI 2017 ■ PL ISSN 0029-8514 Janusz Tazbir Philip Melanchthon in the Writings of his Polish Contemporaries Over thirty years ago Oskar Bartel, a distinguished scholar of the history of the Polish Reformation, bemoaned how little was known about the relations between preceptor Germaniae and the movement. In an article about the familiarity with Melanchthon, both as person and his oeuvre, in Poland, Bartel wrote: “wir besitzen einige Werke, meist Broschüren über Luther, Calvin, sogar Hus und Zwingli, aber ich habe keine über Melanchton gefunden”.1 Bartel’s article provided a recapitulation, if somewhat incomplete, of the state of research at the time, and essentially stopped at the death of the Reformer. There- fore, in this study I would like to point to the results of the last thirty years of research, on the one hand, and highlight the post-mortem impact of Melanchthon’s writings and the reflection of his person in the memories of the next generations, on the other. The new information about the contacts Melanchthon had with Poland that has come to light since the 1960s is scattered across a number of articles or monographs; there is to date no separate study devoted to the German Reformer. Only a handful of contributions have been published. No wonder therefore that twenty years after the publication of Bartel’s article, Roman Nir begins his study of corre- spondence between Melanchthon and Krzycki thus: “Relatively little 1 O.

  • Ordinary Time
    ORDINARY TIME January 18, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Between the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and Ash Wednesday, we celebrate Ordinary Time. Ordinary does not mean plain. Ordinary Time is called ordinary because the weeks are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo from which we get the English word order. Thus Ordinary Time is in fact the ordered life of the Church, the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in Christmas or Easter Season) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchful expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. Over the next few weeks, we will be experiencing the beginning of Jesus’ ministry from his baptism, to calling his disciples, and early healing miracles; The liturgical color of Ordinary Time is green, the color of growth and hope; The banners symbolize multi-colored stain glass windows using liturgical colors throughout the seasons. Beginning next week, we will describe the interior design of our church, such as the symbols used on the altar. May 31, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Ordinary Time We now return to counting or numbering the weeks, not days, of the liturgical year. Ordinary Time, which will take us through the summer and fall, comprises the thirty or so weeks that are not marked by major feasts. As we have stated before, the naming of this liturgical time is from the Latin word “ordo” which refers to a counting or numbering and an order.

  • Johann Tetzel in Order to Pay for Expanding His Authority to the Electorate of Mainz
    THE IMAGE OF A FRACTURED CHURCH AT 500 YEARS CURATED BY DR. ARMIN SIEDLECKI FEB 24 - JULY 7, 2017 THE IMAGE OF A FRACTURED CHURCH AT 500 YEARS Five hundred years ago, on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther published his Ninety-Five Theses, a series of statements and proposals about the power of indulgences and the nature of repentance, forgiveness and salvation. Originally intended for academic debate, the document quickly gained popularity, garnering praise and condemnation alike, and is generally seen as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. This exhibit presents the context of Martin Luther’s Theses, the role of indulgences in sixteenth century religious life and the use of disputations in theological education. Shown also are the early responses to Luther’s theses by both his supporters and his opponents, the impact of Luther’s Reformation, including the iconic legacy of Luther’s actions as well as current attempts by Catholics and Protestants to find common ground. Case 1: Indulgences In Catholic teaching, indulgences do not effect the forgiveness of sins but rather serve to reduce the punishment for sins that have already been forgiven. The sale of indulgences was initially intended to defray the cost of building the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome and was understood as a work of charity, because it provided monetary support for the church. Problems arose when Albert of Brandenburg – a cardinal and archbishop of Magdeburg – began selling indulgences aggressively with the help of Johann Tetzel in order to pay for expanding his authority to the Electorate of Mainz. 2 Albert of Brandenburg, Archbishop of Mainz Unused Indulgence (Leipzig: Melchior Lotter, 1515?) 1 sheet ; 30.2 x 21 cm.

    Methodist Hist01y, 42:2 (July 2004) DISCOVERY Edited by ROBERT DREW SIMPSON Robert Richford Roberts (1778-1843) - "The Log Cabin" Bishop The United Methodist General Commission on Archives and History possesses a treasure trove of priceless artifacts. Among the most popular items in the collection is George Whitefield's thumb, the original of John Wesley's death mask, and Bishop Francis Asbury's watch, his glasses, and his comb. However, there are many other artifacts which represent the world-wide reach of United Methodism. Personally, I especially delight in artifacts connected with Bishop Robert Roberts, affectionately known as the Log Cabin Bishop. In its vault the Commission holds Roberts' rocking chair (which he inay have made himself), two sets of his saddlebags, and his watch. These items date from the early 1800s. When I see them, I am prompted to remember some of the stories about this unusual circuit- riding bishop. Bishop Roberts was born in Frederick County, Maryland in 1778. His family moved over the mountains to the Ligonier Valley in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. They lived in the woods with little contact with the outside world until a Methodist circuit rider reached their settlement and converted Roberts, his mother, and sister to the Methodist understanding of Christian faith. When he embraced the faith, Roberts was fifteen years old. In 1795, young Roberts moved on to Mercer County, living off the land and sleeping under the trees for shelter. In 1800 he was given a license to preach. What expectation could there possibly be for such a ho1nespun character? But he was immensely successful, and was named Presiding Elder of the Schuylkill District which included Philadelphia.

    WELLESLEY COLLEGE BULLETIN ANNUAL REPORTS PRESIDENT AND TREASURER ^^ 191 6= J 8 WELLESLEY, MASSACHUSETTS DECEMBER, I9I8 PUBLISHED BY THE COLLEGE IN JANUARY, MAY, JUNE, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER Entered as second-class matter December 20, 1911, at the post-office at Wellesley. Massachusetts, under Act of Congress of July 16, 1894. SERIES 7 NUMBER 6 WELLESLEY COLLEGE ANNUAL EEPOKTS PBESIDENT AND TREASURER 1916-1918 PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT To the Board of Trustees of Wellesley College:— I have the honor to present in one the report of the two years from July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1918. Heretofore the annual reports of the President and Treasurer due June 30 have been published in the following March. It was decided to publish these hereafter in December. To avoid publishing two reports in the 1918 series, the report for 1916-17 was de- layed, and is here combined with that for 1917-18. The sup- plementary reports of the Dean, the Librarian, and the Chair- man of the Committee on Graduate Instruction will also cover two years. These two years have brought many losses to the College. On February 12, 1917, Pauline Adeline Durant, the widow of the founder of the College, died at her home in Wellesley. Mrs. Durant gave the heartiest co-operation to Mr. Durant's plan for founding the College, and throughout his life assisted him in every way. After his death in October, 1881, she accepted the care of the College as a sacred trust from her husband, and gave to it thought, time, and money. Mrs. Durant had been an invalid confined to her home for more than three years before her death, but until these later years no meeting of the Board of Trustees nor any college function was complete without her presence.
