Knowledge and Time; You and I; and this Wolverton Family History... Knowledge; One of Man's Greatest Possessions is His Individual ac­ cumulation of Knowledge. Knowledge can be defined as; "all that is known", or "all thai can be learned". Some men are con­ tent with a smattering of knowledge; others, spend the greater part of their lives, in the continuous search of knowledge. There is no end for knowledge; knowledge, in truth, is - in the relationship to time - the combined accumulations of all happenings, during an "age", which is in excess of three billion years in length. For those of you, who may expend this defined expanse of accum­ ulated knowledge; there is, for your perusal, the unnumbered cycles of immeasurable time - to catapult you back, through the unmeasured tracts of unknown time, to the very first beginning of the actual commencement of the creation. This, if it is ever accomplished, would awaken man to that very first, primeval, "morsel" of knowledge. Needless to say, no man's knowledge has ever carried him back, this far "in time"; nor, is man ever likely to accomplish "this feat" - only, would it be possible, with "dedication", "intelligence", and "Divine guidance". Time; A simple definition of time would be; "all the days there have " been", or "all the days there ever will be" - "the past, the present, and future". Does the following, sound familiar?; "There is not enough time; not enough time for me to do all the things, I want to do". How many more mountains, would we climb; how many more bridges, would we build; if only, we say, there were more time - and thus, with noble resolution, we determine to attack time, make it our slave, and bring it to its knees. Time has no beginning, no end, no dimension, no substance; it is, has been, and will be. "Time is the image of eternity", said Di­ ogenes Laertius. Time can not be harnessed, husbanded, or forced at lance point into the service of man. Time cannot be managed; but, we can manage our acts, and our's is the fault for not doing more. Time is neither ally, nor enemy; she cannot bestow the laurel or with­ hold it: our doing the thing, now, is the victory - or the defeat - which will be read in the book, tomorrow. We - each of us - guide the writing hand, not time; the book will never say, "He had no time" - the page, merely, will be blank. J_ have tried to do it "now", if I have not succeeded, the "fault" lies in me, not in "time". This Second Edition, so soon, had to be; because, I considered myself capable of a higher degree of perfection, than was evidenced by the First Edition. If you have enjoyed reading the foregoing, brief sampler, of the manuscript; then, you are in for a treat - because, there are, in the same or similar "vain", some one hundred thousand words to follow. If you are one of those, who will shout, "I have had enough"; then, I ask you, to read a few more lines and, then, close the book forever. An "Old" Turkish Proverb; "Fear an Ignorant Man more than a lion". Dr. Samuel Johnson; "Gratitude is a fruit of great cultivation, you do not find it among a" gross people". TaDie or contents cont, vu; Since you have turned the page, evidently, I can still count you, as being a portion of my audience; and, perhaps, I can.entice you into reading still further, by serving you with a generous help­ ing, from the same bill-a-fare, which is, yet, to be encountered: In Medieval England, the salt celler was a social boundary, at the dinner table. The high-ranking guest, sat above this ornate sil­ ver container; the lesser guests, sat below it. The laws of King Canute, provided, that a social climber (one. who placed himself in an exalted position) could be, at the discretion of the assembled company, "pelted out of his place" (made to move back down the table) "by a volley of discarded bones". Once upon a time, there were three men; these three men, from all outward appearances, looked to be alike. The three men, in company, made a long journey to a choice mountain spring, filled with the best of.all possible cool sparkling water. The first, carried a lone gourd; the second, carried a sheep-skin bag; and the third, carried a large cask strapped to his back. Each looked at the other and won­ dered what kind of a fool, he had straddled himself with, for a trav­ eling companion. At last, when the spring was encountered, each man proceeded to fill the container, which he had provided himself with; and seemed perfectly content, with its capacity. They, in the best of spirits, retraced their steps along the trail; each feeling that he was, in all truth, the best judge of the true worth of this spring of mountain water. You my readers, can fill your gourds, sheep-skin bags, or casks; but, please, I beg of you, hurl no bones my way.

  • The Preacher's Voice in Early Seventeenth‐Century Posthumous
    Page 1 of 30 Renaissance Studies 1 Recent studies in the early modern sermon suggest that preaching matters more than print. Peter McCullough, one of the most important sermon scholars working today (and the general editor of the Oxford edition of Donne’s sermons), argues, in the ‘Introduction’ to his volume of Launcelot Andrewes’ sermons, that ‘Sermons, although avidly consumed by Elizabethan and Jacobean readers, were first and foremost live, theatrical events. As Vickers has said of classical oratory, they are “performance-art”’ (xxxviii). In another article, McCullough suggests that ‘It is dangerous… to treat “sermons” as an undifferentiated category to which the same kinds of interpretation always apply. Early modern sermons – whether “elite” or otherwise – were radically occasional pieces of performed writing, contingent upon the contexts in and for which they were delivered. They suffer, in turn, from any interpretative engagement that does not attend carefully to the circumstances outside the remaining textual artefact that moulded and shaped it ab origine ’ (‘Preaching’ 213-4). McCullough is not wrong: it is often the case that sermons need to be studied in context with great care. Court sermons, McCullough’s specialty, especially repay the kind of embedded reading that pays attention to audiences, political and religious context, and other important influences. I take issue, however, with the assumption that our readings of the ‘remaining textual artifact’ need always to be embedded in the performance of the sermon in the pulpit. I certainly agree that we must not read all sermons as if Accepted Article they were ‘undifferentiated’ but that makes it all the more important to recognize when early modern sermons require other modes of reading to discern what’s at stake in their publication for their writers, editors, and readers.

Conaequently, Hooker, a radically conservative thinkert fastens upon the image of God the Father, the God of generative reason and Logos, in his approaches to the Trinityo It is argued that Hooker does this in order to confound the increasingly fideistic and pyrrhonistic notions of many of his contemporarieso Thus, he seeks to counteract a rising tide of Augustinian thought in English letters .

  • Historical Survey of Hermeneutics and Homiletics: a Summative Paper
    HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS: A SUMMATIVE PAPER by Charles E. Handren B.A., California Baptist University, 1995 M.Div., American Baptist Seminary of the West, 1999 A POST-COURSE ASSIGNMENT FOR MN 9101-01 HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS Submitted to the faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MINISTRY Concentration in Preaching at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Deerfield, Illinois June, 2013 HISTORICAL SURVEY OF HERMENEUTICS AND HOMILETICS: A SUMMATIVE PAPER In the spring of 2011, I took a Doctor of Ministry course at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School entitled, “Hermeneutics and Homiletics.” One of the required readings was Dennis Johnson’s fine work, Him We Proclaim: Preaching Christ from all the Scriptures. Part one of this book, and particularly chapter four, provides an overview of the history of hermeneutics and homiletics which both aided my understanding of the subject and exposed a significant gap in my knowledge. Specifically, Johnson helped me to see how little I knew about the interpretation and proclamation of the Bible over the last twenty centuries, and how significant a bearing this history has on current issues and debates. Since my Doctor of Ministry concentration is preaching, I thought this gap unacceptable and thus requested an independent reading course which was eventually entitled, “Historical Survey of Hermeneutics and Homiletics.” I set two objectives for the course. First, I aimed to develop a broad and general understanding of the history of the relationship between hermeneutics and homiletics in the Christian church. I have fulfilled this aim by reading a little over five-thousand pages of secondary material, and by building a basic mental framework which now needs to be clarified, strengthened, and built out.

  • Lancelot Andrewes' Life And
    LANCELOT ANDREWES’ LIFE AND MINISTRY A FOUNDATION FOR TRADITIONAL ANGLICAN PRIESTS by Orville Michael Cawthon, Sr. B.B.A, Georgia State University, 1983 A THESIS Submitted to the Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religion at Reformed Theological Seminary Charlotte, North Carolina September 2014 Accepted: Thesis Advisor ______________________________ Donald Fortson, Ph.D. ii ABSTRACT Lancelot Andrewes Life and Ministry A Foundation for Traditional Anglican Priest Orville Michael Cawthon, Sr. This thesis explores Lancelot Andrewes’ life and ministry as an example for Traditional Anglican Priests. An introduction and biography are presented, followed by an examination of his prayer life, doctrine, and liturgy. His prayer life is examined through his private prayers, via tract number 88 of the Tracts for the Times, daily prayers, and sermons. The second evaluation made is of Andrewes’ doctrine. A review of his catechism is followed by his teaching of the Commandments. His sermons are examined and demonstrate his desire and ability to link the Old Testament and the New Testament through Jesus Christ and a review is made through examining his sermons for the different church seasons. Thirdly, Andrewes’ liturgy is the focus, as many of his practices are still used today within the Traditional Anglican Church. His desire for holiness and beauty as reflected in his Liturgy is seen, as well as his position on what should be allowed in the worship of God. His love for the Eucharist is examined as he defends the English Church’s use of the term “Real Presence” in its relationship to the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist.
