  • Adventist Eschatology in Relation to the Religious Left and the Religious Right
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 23/2 (2012):190-242. Article copyright © 2012 by Michael F. Younker. Adventist Eschatology in Relation to the Religious Left and the Religious Right Michael F. Younker Ph.D. Student, SDA Theological Seminary Andrews University 1. Introduction It is commonly understood that Seventh-day Adventist eschatology predicts that a Sunday Law in homage to Papal authority will be enacted in the United States and other nations in the final period of earth’s history preceding the Second Coming of Christ.1 Furthermore, despite its ultimate inevitability according to the sure word of prophecy, prior to such an enactment we are obligated to do all we reasonably can to delay this law by uplifting the importance of religious liberty.2 I affirm these beliefs. The 1 For a collection of Seventh-day Adventist thought leader Ellen White’s comments on this, see Donald Ernest Mansell, The Shape of the Coming Crisis (Nampa, ID: Pacific Press Publishing Association, 1998), 58-82. As White herself put it, “The Sabbath question is to be the issue in the great final conflict in which all the world will act a part,” Ellen White, Testimonies for the Church Volume Six, 352. 2 “A time is coming when the law of God is, in a special sense, to be made void in our land. The rulers of our nation will, by legislative enactments, enforce the Sunday law, and thus God's people [will] be brought into great peril. When our nation, in its legislative councils, shall enact laws to bind the consciences of men in regard to their religious privileges, enforcing Sunday observance, and bringing oppressive power to bear against those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath, the law of God will, to all intents and purposes, be made void in our land; and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin.

  • Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) Had Only Seven Members but Influenced Many Other Artists
    1 • Of course, their patrons, largely the middle-class themselves form different groups and each member of the PRB appealed to different types of buyers but together they created a stronger brand. In fact, they differed from a boy band as they created works that were bought independently. As well as their overall PRB brand each created an individual brand (sub-cognitive branding) that convinced the buyer they were making a wise investment. • Millais could be trusted as he was a born artist, an honest Englishman and made an ARA in 1853 and later RA (and President just before he died). • Hunt could be trusted as an investment as he was serious, had religious convictions and worked hard at everything he did. • Rossetti was a typical unreliable Romantic image of the artist so buying one of his paintings was a wise investment as you were buying the work of a ‘real artist’. 2 • The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) had only seven members but influenced many other artists. • Those most closely associated with the PRB were Ford Madox Brown (who was seven years older), Elizabeth Siddal (who died in 1862) and Walter Deverell (who died in 1854). • Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris were about five years younger. They met at Oxford and were influenced by Rossetti. I will discuss them more fully when I cover the Arts & Crafts Movement. • There were many other artists influenced by the PRB including, • John Brett, who was influenced by John Ruskin, • Arthur Hughes, a successful artist best known for April Love, • Henry Wallis, an artist who is best known for The Death of Chatterton (1856) and The Stonebreaker (1858), • William Dyce, who influenced the Pre-Raphaelites and whose Pegwell Bay is untypical but the most Pre-Raphaelite in style of his works.

  • The Fragmenting of Apocalypticism Within a Denominationalizing Sect: the Case of Seventh-Day Adventism
    The Fragmenting of Apocalypticism within a Denominationalizing Sect: The Case of Seventh-day Adventism Ronald Lawson Paper Presented at the Meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, Nashville, November 1996. Introduction Research has shown that over time many religious sects reduce the tensions between themselves and surrounding society, and thus move from sect towards denomination. For a millenarian sect to follow this process, its apocalyptic must become less urgent: it must become less rejecting of the present society and put down roots there. However, the dynamics of this process, and especially the strains that emerge within the group as a result of the diversifying of beliefs about its apocalyptic during the long period of change have never before been the focus of detailed investigation. An excellent example of such dynamics is provided by Seventh-day Adventists [Adventists]. Adventists trace their roots to the Millerite Movement, which proclaimed that the Second Coming of Christ would occur on October 22, 1844. That is, their origins were urgently apocalyptic. In spite of the humiliation and heartbreak of what they called the "Great Disappointment," Adventist pioneers continued to expect the imminent return of Jesus, and regarded this belief as so important that they enshrined it in their name. In October 1994, Adventists celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Great Disappointment – and of a century and a half of believing and preaching that Jesus would soon return. This paper explores the responses of North American Adventists to the tension between their belief in an imminent apocalypse and the delay in its fulfillment.

  • Pre-Raphaelite Poetry
    Dr.Pem Prakash Pankaj Asst.Professor,English Dept Vanijya Mahavidyalaya,PU Mob-8210481859 [email protected] For B.A (English Hons.) Part-1/ English Alternative Part-1 (50 marks) PRE-RAPHAELITE POETRY The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (later known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets, and art critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner who formed a seven-member "Brotherhood" modelled in part on the Nazarene movement. The Brotherhood was only ever a loose association and their principles were shared by other artists of the time, including Ford Madox Brown, Arthur Hughes and Marie Spartali Stillman. Later followers of the principles of the Brotherhood included Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris and John William Waterhouse. Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB), founded in September 1848, is the most significant British artistic grouping of the nineteenth century. Its fundamental mission was to purify the art of its time by returning to the example of medieval and early Renaissance painting. Although the life of the brotherhood was short, the broad international movement it inspired, Pre-Raphaelitism, persisted into the twentieth century and profoundly influenced the aesthetic movement, symbolism, and the Arts and Crafts movement. First to appear was Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Girlhood of Mary Virgin (1849), in which passages of striking naturalism were situated within a complex symbolic composition. Already a published poet, Rossetti inscribed verse on the frame of his painting. In the following year, Millais's Christ in the House of His Parents (1850) was exhibited at the Royal Academy to an outraged critical reception.

  • 2. Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
    The paintings produced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood or PRB are today regarded as staid and irrelevant Victorian pictures. I will show that at the time there were controversial and even revolutionary. The brotherhood was founded in 1848, the year of revolutions across Europe. There was a very large Chartist meeting on 10th April in Kennington Common but luckily confrontation was avoided and the petition with six million signatures was handed in to Downing Street. House of Commons clerks estimated the true figure to be 1.9 million signatures and some joke signatures were publicized to undermine the credibility of the movement. John Everett Millais and Holman Hunt accompanied the crowd from Russell Square but at the Common they were careful to remain outside the rails. In September of that year they met in Millais’s parents house to form the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The term ‘brotherhood’ was later of concern to critics as it suggested anarchy and a revolution. 1 Top row, left to right: William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, (b. 1829 – d. 1896) John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, 1854, (1827-1910) William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1853, (1828-1882) Bottom row, left to right: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Thomas Woolner, 1852 (1825-1892, sculptor and poet), National Portrait Gallery James Collinson, self-portrait, undated (1825-1881, only 1848-50, a devout Christian who resigned when Millais painted Christ in the House of His Parents) John Everett Millais, Frederic George Stephens (1828-1907, art critic) Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919, writer and art critic) Seven ‘Brothers’ • The three years 1849-1851 were an exceptional event in the history of art because rarely do you find a group of artists who set out to radically change the status quo and who take on the leading art establishment – the Royal Academy.
