PARADISE FOUND: RELIGIOSITY AND REFORM IN OBERLIN, OHIO, 1833-1859 A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of the Arts History by Matthew David Hintz May 2012 Accepted by: H. Roger Grant, Committee Chair C. Alan Grubb Orville V. Burton ABSTRACT Founded as a quasi-utopian society by New England evangelists, Oberlin became the central hub of extreme social reform in Ohio’s Western Reserve. Scholars have looked at Oberlin from political and cultural perspectives, but have placed little emphasis on religion. That is to say, although religion is a major highlight of secondary scholarship, few have placed the community appropriately in the dynamic of the East and West social reform movement. Historians have often ignored, or glossed over this important element and how it represented the divergence between traditional orthodoxy in New England and Middle-Atlantic states, and the new religious hybrids found in the West.

  • Charles Finney's Sanctification Model in Theological Context
    CHARLES FINNEY’S SANCTIFICATION MODEL IN THEOLOGICAL CONTEXT Gerald L. Priest, Ph.D. Charles G. Finney—colorful and controversial nineteenth century “father of modern evangelism.” Most responses to Finney fall into one of two categories—the highly critical and the highly complimentary.1 Unfavorable works usually attack Finney’s unorthodox doctrine and methods; the favorable defend him as a godly soul winner who is misunderstood or unjustly vilified by those who disagree with his “successful” methods.2 My contention is that a critical evaluation of Finney’s own writings will reveal that he is in substantial disagreement with the cardinal doctrines of Christianity, and that his revivalist methodology, when examined in that context, is a defective paradigm for evangelism and revival. I would also suggest that Finney’s teachings and methods have generally been harmful to evangelical Christianity. Fundamentalism was born out of intense opposition to theological liberalism, and so it would appear a mega-contradiction to even suggest that fundamentalists could ever be “taken in” by rationalism in any form. Yet, interestingly, George Marsden has suggested that one of the formative features of early fundamentalism was Scottish Common Sense philosophy, a moralistic rationalism which contributed to the evidentialist epistemology of early fundamentalist apologetics.3 One version of Common Sense, rooted in Princeton, did play a significant role in fundamentalism, as Ernest Sandeen and later Mark Noll sought to prove.4 But Finney’s “new 1Some works sympathetic to Finney include L. G. Parkhurst, Jr., Finney’s Theology: True to Scripture, True to Reason, True to Life (Edmon, OK: Revival Resources, 1990) and his article, “Charles Grandison Finney Preached For A Verdict,” Fundamentalist Journal 3 (June 1984), pp.

Roberts Office Hours: Mon. 3-5, Tues. 9-10, Office: 226 Bay State Road, Room 406 and by appointment 617-353-2557 (O); 781-209-0982 (H) [email protected] Course Description: Few concepts have proved more difficult to define than religion, but most students of the subject would agree that religious traditions commonly include rituals and other practices, aesthetic and emotional experiences, and a body of ideas typically expressed as beliefs. This course focuses on those beliefs during the course of American history from the first English colonial settlement to the present and on their interaction with the broader currents of American culture. Theology is the term often used to describe the systematic expression of religious doctrine. It is clearly possible, however, to discuss religious beliefs outside the context of formal theology, and it is at least arguable that some of the most influential beliefs in American history have received their most vivid and forceful expressions beyond the purview of theological discourse. Accordingly, while much of our attention in this course will focus on the works of theologians and clergy--the religious “professionals”--we shall also deal with religious strategies that a widely disparate group of other thinkers (e.g., scientists, artists, and other influential lay people) have deployed in attempting to account for the nature of the cosmos, the structure of the social order, and the dynamics of human experience. Most of the people whom we’ll be studying were committed proponents of Christianity or Judaism, but the course lectures and readings will also occasionally move outside of those traditions to include others.

  • Oberlin and the Fight to End Slavery, 1833-1863
    "Be not conformed to this world": Oberlin and the Fight to End Slavery, 1833-1863 by Joseph Brent Morris This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Baptist,Edward Eugene (Chairperson) Bensel,Richard F (Minor Member) Parmenter,Jon W (Minor Member) “BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD”: OBERLIN AND THE FIGHT TO END SLAVERY, 1833-1863 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Joseph Brent Morris August 2010 © 2010 Joseph Brent Morris “BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD”: OBERLIN AND THE FIGHT TO END SLAVERY, 1833-1863 Joseph Brent Morris, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of Oberlin (the northern Ohio town and its organically connected college of the same name) in the antislavery struggle. It traces the antislavery origins and development of this Western “hot-bed of abolitionism,” and establishes Oberlin—the community, faculty, students, and alumni—as comprising the core of the antislavery movement in the West and one of the most influential and successful groups of abolitionists in antebellum America. Within two years of its founding, Oberlin’s founders had created a teachers’ college and adopted nearly the entire student body of Lane Seminary, who had been dismissed for their advocacy of immediate abolition. Oberlin became the first institute of higher learning to admit men and women of all races. America's most famous revivalist (Charles Grandison Finney) was among its new faculty as were a host of outspoken proponents of immediate emancipation and social reform.

    Book Reviews Freedom and Grace: The Life of Asa Mahan, Edward H. Madden, and James E. Hamilton, Studies in Evangelicalism, No. 3, (Metuchen, NJ: The Scarecrow Press, 1982). 273 pp., $17.50. Since the appearance of Timothy Smith's Revivalism and Social Reform in 1957, historians of American religion have become increasingly aware of the central role Perfectionism played in the nineteenth century. Charles G. Finney, second President of Oberlin College, has been rightly recognized as the bridge via which the dominant stream of American religious experience crossed from the Puritan thought of the country's roots. In recent years, however, there has been a growing appreciation for the role which Oberlin's first President, Asa Mahan, played in that transformation. An accurate assessment of his impact has been hampered by the fact that, aside from his Memoirs published in 1882, no full-length treatment of his life has been offered. One hundred years later, Freedom and Grace has appeared to fill this gap. Mahan, born in New York State in 1799 to Presbyterian parents, was instilled with "Old Light" Calvinism during his youth. His conversion experience in young adulthood rendered this theology unconvincing. While at Andover Seminary in preparation for ministry, he accepted "New Light" Calvinism as the answer to his quest. Believing that nothing is either sinful or righteous unless it is a free act of the will, Mahan would, with Finney, go on to develop a concept of Christian Perfection within the Reformed Tradition that was very close to Wesley. They argued that since all sin is voluntary, it is inexcusable.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of trie original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Legacy of This Place: Oberlin Ohio
    THE LEGACY OF THIS PLACE: OBERLIN, OHIO Barbara Brown Zikmund, Ph.D. [This paper was prepared for a conference celebrating the 50th anniversary of Faith and Order in the United States “On Being Christian Together,” July 19-23, 2007 in Oberlin, Ohio. It is based on my doctoral dissertation: "Asa Mahan and Oberlin Perfectionism: 1835-1850" completed in 1969 at Duke University.] Beginnings Oberlin owed its beginning to a man named John Jay Shipherd; a Congregational minister with a keen desire to evangelize the West. Shepherd was working in Elyria, Ohio when he began dreaming of a religious colony where, as he put it, “consecrated souls could withdraw to Christian living in the virgin forest.” One of his students, named Philo Penfield Stewart, encouraged him and together Stewart and Shipherd conceived of a plan for a utopian colony and school. They proposed to name the colony after “John Frederic Oberlin,” a pious European pastor who was very popular with missionary minded American Christians, because in 1830 the American Sunday School Union published The Life of John Frederic Oberlin, Pastor of Waldback. Shipherd and Stewart were dreamers. In a providential sequence of events they obtained a tract of land southwest of Elyria and began convincing families to move to Oberlin. By March 1833 a small group began to clear the woods. Oberlin’s first resident, Peter Pindar Pesse, moved his family into a new log cabin a month later. By the end of 1833 approximately a dozen families called Oberlin home. [Robert Samuel Fletcher, History of Oberlin College (Oberlin: Oberlin College, 1943) 101-06.] About the same time Shipherd contracted with some teachers and made plans for a school.

Oberlin Perfectionism and Its Edwardsean Origins Abstract An impression has very generally prevailed," wrote James Harris Fairchild toward the end of his twenty-three- year presidency of Oberlin College, "that the theological views unleashed at Oberlin College by the late Rev. Charles Grandison Finney & his Associates involves a considerable departure from the accepted orthodox faith." It was an impression that Fairchild believed to be inaccurate, and he would probably be horrified to discover a century later that the prevailing impression the "Oberlin Theology" has made on historians of the nineteenth-century United States continues to be one in which Oberlin stands for almost all the progressive and enthusiastic unorthodoxies of the Age of Jackson, from Sylvester Graham's crackers to moral perfectionism.
