  • Puritans, Lawyers, and Politics in Early Seventeenth Century England
    REVIEWS PURITANS, LAWYERS, AND POLITICS IN EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ENG- LAND. By John Dykstra Eusden. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1958. Pp. xii, 238. $4.50. THE preface of this book reveals a scholar functioning in the best tradition of his profession. Aware that scholarship is fundamentally a cooperative enter- prise and yet that an author must ultimately "stand alone," Eusden acknowl- edges an indebtedness to many and modestly rates his own contribution to historical knowledge. Candidly, also, he confesses having had to abandon a conjecture which intrigued him, for "the evidence of Puritan influence on common law and vice versa did not materialize."1 He retreats to a relationship between Puritanism and common law which he is able amply to support, "one of ideological parallelism." His analysis concerns the substance of what men perseveringly wanted and manifestly expressed in the early seventeenth century, not with what the twentieth century might articulate for them. For his period of intensive study he takes the years 1603 to 1630, which were sketched in broader strokes by Notestein in his The English People on the Eve of Colonization.2 Although the first five chapters of the Eusden book deal with ideas and events familiar to students of the seventeenth century, the author engages in an organization of this material essential to his purpose. The Puritans of his study comprise three groups who worked together in their common predicament but were differentiated by their concepts of church organization-the Puritan Anglicans, the Presbyterians, and the Independents or pre-Civil-War "nonseparating Congregationalists," who favored an estab- lished but loosely federated church.

  • Through Gates of Splendor Book Discussion Guide
    Through Gates of Splendor Book Discussion Guide Chapter I: “I Dare Not Stay Home” Describe Jim Elliot. What was he like? What were some of the life experiences that shaped Jim into the man he was? How did Jim know that God wanted him to spend his life as a missionary in Ecuador? What kind of man was Pete Fleming? Pete Fleming wrote, “A call is nothing more nor less than obedience to the will of God, as God presses it home to the soul by whatever means He chooses” (page 22). Can you think of any times when you were absolutely sure of the will of God? What are some ways we can make ourselves more open to hearing God’s voice? Chapter II: Destination: Shandia Before you began to read this book, what did you know about the life and culture of Ecuador? Which elements of Ecuadorian culture do you think were most appealing to the missionaries? Which posed challenges? Based on the brief historical sketch of Ecuador given in this chapter, what might have been some of the Ecuadorians’ assumptions about foreigners, and vice versa? Chapter III: “All Things to All Men” The portrait of Venancio (pages 41-42) describes the daily life of a typical Quichua native. How does this compare with daily life where you live? In what ways does the Quichua birthing experience (pages 43-45) differ from a typical Western birth? What do you think this story signifies about Quichua attitudes toward children and family life? Toward medicine? Why is it so important—beyond basic communication—for missionaries to become as fluent as possible in the native language of those they are trying to reach? Chapter IV: Infinite Adaptability Describe Ed McCully.

  • Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF)
    MAF Youth School Resources www.maf-uk.org/school Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) MAF is a dynamic Christian aviation charity that flies over deserts, jungles and mountains, bringing help, hope and healing to the most isolated communities on earth. With a fleet of 135 light aircraft, we partner with over 1,500 other organisations such as Oxfam, Tearfund, the BBC, Save the Children and WaterAid, flying them to remote areas of the world, where access would either be impossible or would take days of arduous overland travel. MAF uses planes to transform the lives of the world’s most isolated people. Scheme of work introduction This resource, written specially for Religious Education teachers, features a selection of lesson plans and resources based around the story of the inspirational Christian martyr Nate Saint, an MAF pilot in the 1950s. It has been designed to meet the requirements of the Religious Education curricula for England and Wales. This scheme of work is based on Nate Saint’s exciting story. He flew as an MAF pilot in the 1950s, but was brutally martyred – along with four other missionaries – as they attempted to reach out to one of the world’s deadliest tribes in the Ecuadorian rainforest at risk of extinction. This inspirational story, brought to life through the lesson plans, is designed to explore, question and unpack the following themes: • Christian commitment to serving, worshipping and self-sacrifice • The incredible power of love, forgiveness and repentance • Inspirational Christians • Justice and fairness • Life after death • Martyrdom • Moral and ethical choices • Christian response to global issues worldwide.

  • Judaizing and Singularity in England, 1618-1667
    Judaizing and Singularity in England, 1618-1667 Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aidan Francis Cottrell-Boyce, Gonville and Caius College, June 2018. For Anna. Abstract In the seventeenth century, in England, a remarkable number of small, religious movements began adopting demonstratively Jewish ritual practices. They were labelled by their contemporaries as Judaizers. Typically, this phenomenon has been explained with reference to other tropes of Puritan practical divinity. It has been claimed that Judaizing was a form of Biblicism or a form of millenarianism. In this thesis, I contend that Judaizing was an expression of another aspect of the Puritan experience: the need to be recognized as a ‘singular,’ positively- distinctive, separated minority. Contents Introduction 1 Singularity and Puritanism 57 Judaizing and Singularity 99 ‘A Jewish Faccion’: Anti-legalism, Judaizing and the Traskites 120 Thomas Totney, Judaizing and England’s Exodus 162 The Tillamites, Judaizing and the ‘Gospel Work of Separation’ 201 Conclusion 242 Introduction During the first decades of the seventeenth century in England, a remarkable number of small religious groups began to adopt elements of Jewish ceremonial law.
