Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge my wife Robin. She especially helped me through the research and writing process, and kept me sane through the stress of having to spend so much time away from her while in graduate school. I wish that my late father Doug could be here, and I know that he would be thrilled to see me receive my PhD. It was his love of history that helped set me on the path I find myself today. My academic family has also been amazing during my time in graduate school. Good friends were always there to keep me motivated and stimulate my research. The professors involved in my project are also much deserving of my thanks: Marc Pierce, my advisor, as well as Sandra Straubhaar, Peter Hess, Martha Newman, and Troy Storfjell. I am grateful for their help and support, and for the opportunity to embark on this very interdisciplinary and very fulfilling project.

  • Apostles' Creed - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Apostles' Creed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostles%27_Creed Apostles' Creed From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Apostles' Creed (Latin: Symbolum Apostolorum or Symbolum Apostolicum), sometimes titled Symbol of the Apostles, is an early statement of Christian belief, a creed or "symbol".[1] It is widely used by a number of Christian denominations for both liturgical and catechetical purposes, most visibly by liturgical Churches of Western tradition, including the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, Lutheranism, the Anglican Communion, and Western Orthodoxy. It is also used by Presbyterians, Methodists, and Congregationalists. The theological specifics of this creed appear to have been originally formulated as a refutation of Gnosticism, an early heresy. This can be seen in almost every phrase. For example, the creed states that Christ, Jesus, was born, suffered, and died on the cross. This seems to be a statement directly against the heretical teaching that Christ only appeared to become man and that he did not truly suffer and die but only appeared to do so. The Apostles' Creed, as well as other baptismal creeds, is esteemed as an example of the apostles' teachings and a defense of the Gospel of Christ. The name of the Creed comes from the probably fifth-century legend that, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit after Pentecost, each of the Twelve Apostles dictated part of it.[2] It is traditionally divided into twelve articles. Because of its early origin, it does not address some Christological issues defined in the later Nicene and other Christian Creeds. It thus says nothing explicitly about the divinity of either Jesus or of the Holy Spirit.

  • Lars Levi Læstadius' Attitude to Saami Religion
    Lars Levi Læstadius' Attitude to Saami Religion BY CARL F. HALLENCREUTZ How Læstadianism became the "religion of the Saamis" is a process of church and religious history which has not been fully explained. It is a comprehensive development which includes most of Læstadius' entire ministry. But also included in it is not least his attitude towards to the old religion of the Lapps. It is this question which I propose to address in this paper. By this I mean not so much Læstadius' religious studies and interpretation of Saami reli- gion—or "Lapp mythology" as he preferred to call it. Rather, my approach is from the missionary perspective. I am interested in how Læstadius took account of—or afforded expression to motives from traditional Saami mythology when he formulated and adapted his own interpretation of Christianity to the Saami environment. This problem should naturally be studied in any study of how Læstadian- ism became the "religion of the Saamis". It can, however, also contribute to a better understanding of Læstadius' endeavours themselves. The fact that Læstadius inherited a knowledge of Saami language on his mother's side and Swedish on his father's—added to which he learned Finnish later in life—casts important light on this question. 1. The chronology of Læstadius' church work In a missionary study of Læstadius' place in the emergence of Læstadian- ism as the "religion of the Saamis'" it is important to delimit three periods in Læstadius' ministry, each of which expresses different aspects of his attitude towards the earlier beliefs of the Saamis.

  • The Making of Sámi Religion in Contemporary Society
    religions Editorial Introduction: The Making of Sámi Religion in Contemporary Society Trude Fonneland 1,* and Tiina Äikäs 2,* 1 The Arctic University Museum of Norway and Academy of Arts (UMAK), UiT-The Arctic University of Norway, P.O. Box 6050, N-9037 Langnes Tromsø, Norway 2 Research Unit of History, Culture and Communications, University of Oulu, FI-90014 Oulu, Finland * Correspondence: [email protected] (T.F.); tiina.aikas@oulu.fi (T.Ä.) Received: 30 June 2020; Accepted: 19 October 2020; Published: 23 October 2020 Abstract: This Special Issue of Religions approaches “Sámi religion” from a long-term perspective seeing both the past religious practices and contemporary religious expressions as aspects of the same phenomena. This does not refer, however, to a focus on continuity or to a static or uniform understanding of Sámi religion. Sámi religion is an ambiguous concept that has to be understood as a pluralistic phenomenon consisting of multiple applications and associations and widely differing interpretations, and that highlights the complexities of processes of religion-making. In a historical perspective and in many contemporary contexts (such as museum displays, media stories, as well as educational programs) the term Sámi religion is mostly used as a reference to Sámi pre-Christian religious practices, to Laestadianism, a Lutheran revival movement that spread among the Sámi during the 19th Century, and last but not least to shamanism. In this issue, we particularly aim to look into contemporary contexts where Sámi religion is expressed, consumed, and promoted. We ask what role it plays in identity politics and heritagization processes, and how different actors connect with distant local religious pasts—in other words, in which contexts is Sámi religion activated, by whom, and for what? 1.

  • The History of Discipleship in the Lutheran Tradition
    The History of Discipleship in the Lutheran Tradition Robert Kolb If we wished to be fundamentalistic, we could make this a very short lecture. Even though Luther used the words for “disciple” and “discipleship,” in his translation of Scripture, the word itself did not become a part of Lutheran theological vocabulary until much later, perhaps first in the twentieth century – Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Nachfolge (he did not think it was necessary to mention the cost in the title) being the first, or at least one of the first, major work promoting the vocabulary in our tradition. On the other hand, trying to survey in forty-five minutes, what Lutherans have emphasized in their teaching of the Christian life is an impossibly large task since different cultural situations and different eras have made a variety of demands on Christian leaders’ thinking about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. So this lecture will only try to use some examples and observations, mostly from the first two centuries of Lutheran history, to provoke our thinking about our own following in the footsteps of the one who has buried our sinful identities and raised us up to walk in his footsteps as trusting children of God. The lecture will offer some positive examples of faithfulness to Luther’s insights into the nature of the life of faith, fostered in repentance through the proper distinction of law and gospel, but negative examples of straying from Luther’s insights also abound. The lesson to be drawn from this historical picture admonishes us to remember that we stand always in the midst of the eschatological battle between God and Satan, between the truth of Jesus and devil’s deception, which seeks to weaken and misdirect the faith that creates the believer’s person as a child of God.
