THE MUGGLETONIANS: A PEOPLE APART by Juleen Audrey Eichinger A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan April 1999 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. THE MUGGLETONIANS: A PEOPLE APART Juleen Audrey Eichinger, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 1999 Muggletonians were followers of John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton, seventeenth-century London tailors who believed that they were the last two witnesses o f the Spirit described in Revelation 11:3. A dizzying array of religious and political groups flowered for a time in mid-seventeenth-century England, inspired by the establishment of the Church of England and the continental Reformation in prior centuries, and unleashed by the collapse o f the English monarchy in 1640. Muggle­ tonians were long considered to be heretics or lunatics, one example of the many religious eccentrics and fanatics who flourished in England during this period. The opportunity now exists to reconsider this perception of Muggletonians. In 1978, the British Library acquired a long-lost collection of primary-source materials that includes Muggletonian tracts, letters, songs, and minute books from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. These materials reveal the concerns of Muggletonian believers and document the evolution of Muggletonian belief and practice over three centuries. Unlike other studies, this dissertation focuses on the concerns o f ordinary Muggletonians rather than on the founders, and on the religious teachings of the group rather than its internal and external social relations. Furthermore, it notes Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Muggletonian links to the medieval heretical tradition rather than to the eighteenth- century antinomian tradition. It uses the archived materials, in concert with microfilm editions of original tracts, to examine Reeve and Muggleton’s claims to religious authority and believers’ responses to that authority. It investigates the Christology, soteriology, and eschatology expounded by Reeve and Muggleton and believers’ responses to those teachings. It identifies both the continuation and evolution of doctrine and practice among believers, particularly in the later seventeenth century, as they endured persecution by government and Church authorities, internal dissent, and the deaths of Reeve and Muggleton. It concludes that Muggletonians articulated a unique and coherent religious doctrine that set them apart from not only the Church of England but also from other seventeenth-century dissenting sects.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I owe many thanks and much gratitude to scores of people who have encouraged, led, and taught me through the years. While earning a Bachelor of Arts degree and two Master of Arts degrees from Western Michigan University, I studied with many fine professors who taught me, in class and by example, how to research and think and write. As an editor at Medieval Institute Publications, I have read hundreds of submissions from scholars around the world and have learned much about research, writing, and accuracy from those scholars. I am grateful to the professors in the Department of Comparative Religion who trained and supported me and continued to encourage me long after I had graduated: Dr. Byron Earhart, Dr. David Ede, Dr. Nancy Falk, and especially my mentor Dr. Guntram Bischoff. I am grateful to the medievalists in various departments who led me through my degree in Medieval Studies and, again, continued to encourage me long after I had obtained my degree: Dr. George Beech, Dr. Ernst Breisach, Dr. Otto Griindler, Dr. Tom Seiler, and Dr. Larry Syndergaard. Finally, I owe a heartfelt and hearty “Thank-you” to everyone whose help and encouragement enabled me to complete this dissertation: — Dr. T. L. Underwood, whose prompt and careful reading of every draft I sent him strengthened my arguments, clarified references, and saved me from several gaffes. Through our correspondence over several years, I not only have learned to appreciate his fine scholarship but also have been delighted to discover his wonderful ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Acknowledgments—Continued sense of humor. — Dr. E. Rozanne Elder, who agreed to direct my dissertation despite her own overwhelming workload. In addition, Dr. Elder shepherded me through several independent study courses and always found time to review my work. Her sharp editorial eye always strengthened my writing and clarified my thoughts. — Dr. Otto Griindler, who was ever supportive, enthusiastic, and ready to sit down and discuss the intricacies of Christian theology. When I was sure that I would never start to write a dissertation, never finish it, and never be proud of it, Dr. Griindler would take time to first commiserate with and then encourage me. — Dr. Larry Simon, without whose moral support and offer to direct my studies in the early days o f my pursuit of the Ph.D. I might never have completed this odyssey. Dr. Simon’s confidence in me never faltered, even when my own did. —Dr. Age Rydstrom-Poulsen, with whom I had the opportunity to study while he was a Visiting International Scholar and who agreed to endure the experience of being a member of my Comprehensive Exam committee. — Dr. Davis, chairperson of the History department, whose support, humor, and advice were invaluable. — Dr. Thomas H. Seiler, my supervisor at Medieval Institute Publications, who generously allowed me a flexible work schedule in order to write this dissertation. — My co-workers, including many graduate assistants over several years, iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Acknowledgments—Continued whose lives my weekly absences surely affected. They evidenced interest, admiration, and patience. I am particularly appreciative of their attendance at my colloquium, and the perceptive questions they raised. — Candace Porath, my co-editor at Medieval Institute Publications, to whose red pen I was terrified to submit this dissertation but for whose willingness to review it I am extremely grateful. — So many friends and even acquaintances, who expressed interest

    IDENTITIES BOUGHT AND SOLD, IDENTITY RECEIVED AS GRACE: A THEOLOGICAL CRITICISM OF AND ALTERNATIVE TO CONSUMERIST UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE SELF By James Burton Fulmer Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Religion December, 2006 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Professor Paul DeHart Professor Douglas Meeks Professor William Franke Professor David Wood Professor Patout Burns ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank all the members of my committee—Professors Paul DeHart, Douglas Meeks, William Franke, David Wood, and Patout Burns—for their support and guidance and for providing me with excellent models of scholarship and mentoring. In particular, I am grateful to Prof. DeHart for his careful, insightful, and challenging feedback throughout the writing process. Without him, I would have produced a dissertation on identity in which my own identity and voice were conspicuously absent. He never tried to control my project but rather always sought to make it more my own. Special thanks also to Prof. Franke for his astute observations and comments and his continual interest in and encouragement of my project. I greatly appreciate the help and support of friends and family. My mom, Arlene Fulmer, was a generous reader and helpful editor. James Sears has been a great friend throughout this process and has always led me to deeper thinking on philosophical and theological matters. Jimmy Barker, David Dault, and Eric Froom provided helpful conversation as well as much-needed breaks. All my colleagues in theology helped with valuable feedback as well.

BOWMAN, III* Introduction: Why British Impeachments Matter Impeachment is a British invention, employed by Parliament beginning in 1376 to resist the general tendency of the monarchy to absolutism and to counter particularly obnoxious royal policies by removing the ministers who implemented them. The invention crossed the Atlantic with the British colonists who would one day rebel against their mother country and create an independent United States of America. During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the delegates decided that presidents and other federal officers could be impeached, but they recoiled from the severe and occasionally fatal punishments imposed by Parliament, and they wrestled over what conduct should be impeachable.

  • Pius Ix and the Change in Papal Authority in the Nineteenth Century
    ABSTRACT ONE MAN’S STRUGGLE: PIUS IX AND THE CHANGE IN PAPAL AUTHORITY IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Andrew Paul Dinovo This thesis examines papal authority in the nineteenth century in three sections. The first examines papal issues within the world at large, specifically those that focus on the role of the Church within the political state. The second section concentrates on the authority of Pius IX on the Italian peninsula in the mid-nineteenth century. The third and final section of the thesis focuses on the inevitable loss of the Papal States within the context of the Vatican Council of 1869-1870. Select papal encyclicals from 1859 to 1871 and the official documents of the Vatican Council of 1869-1870 are examined in light of their relevance to the change in the nature of papal authority. Supplementing these changes is a variety of seminal secondary sources from noted papal scholars. Ultimately, this thesis reveals that this change in papal authority became a point of contention within the Church in the twentieth century.

  • I, Nebuchadnezzar Rich Nathan July 2 & 3, 2016 Strangers in a Strange Land Daniel 4
    I, Nebuchadnezzar Rich Nathan July 2 & 3, 2016 Strangers in a Strange Land Daniel 4 In case you haven’t heard, we are just five months away from electing a new president of the United States. I hope that doesn’t come as a shock to you. But as the presidential campaign heats up, one of the questions that I would love to ask each of the candidates is this: “What do you think the essential problem is with people in America right now? We have lots of problems and lots of issues. Candidate A, you think you deserve to be in the White House for four years and be the most powerful person on earth, tell me why you deserve to run this country by sharing with us your brilliant diagnosis. What is the ultimate problem in our country? Why aren’t we happier than we are? Why are our families breaking down? Why don’t people get along? Why so much division and gridlock?” What is the basic problem in our world? One side will tell you that the main problems in America are all around issues of equality. There’s a growing income gap between rich and poor – in other words, income inequality. There’s a wage and opportunities gap between men and women – gender inequality; a need for criminal justice reform – racial inequality. There’s an educational gap requiring free college for all. From one side of the aisle, the basic problem in America is a lack of equality. The other side will tell you that the main problem in America is that Americans are being kicked around by the rest of the world – by illegal immigrants flooding into our country taking our jobs, by Chinese imports and Chinese currency manipulation undercutting American manufacturers.
