Anderson, for taking me under your wing, for reading hundreds of discarded dissertation pages that will never see the light of day again, and for the most amusing draft commentary that Word has ever known. I am forever indebted to you for your uncompromising standards, your steady encouragement, and your sympathy when I told you I needed to move home to Michigan. I simply could not have asked for a better adviser and mentor. Professors Jane Wickersham, Ronald Schleifer, Daniela Garofalo, and Kenneth Hodges for your insights, suggestions, and guidance.

My siblings, Ryan and Katie Wilmering; my sister-in-law, Amanda; and all my wonderful nieces and nephews: Reagan, Claire, Caroline, Andrew, and Annemarie.

Barnes, my oldest and truest friend. Through Ladywood, Michigan State, UNLV, and Oklahoma, my educational path is filled with memories of you (special shout-out to whoever moved the car. May God be with you.) The SKG philosophy was my guiding light during some dark grad student hours. I long for the day when we two can live in the same state once again. Until then, wherever you are, there shall my heart also be. **UPDATE** You have always been one of the best gift-givers I know, but no gift could possibly top the unexpected appearance of you and Hervé Duchemin at my defense. It was the biggest and best surprise of my life, and I cannot thank you both enough for it. Tom Weil, the man I was not expecting but that God knew I needed. Thank you for being the voice of reason when I presumed the worst about myself and this project, for rescuing me time and again with your tech and car knowledge, and for teaching me what true introspection and self-improvement looks like. Above all, thank you for showing me that words are love. Tingler, the only creature on earth who never tires of me. “And for Gilbert, who inspired me with the idea in the first place.” vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements v Abstract viii Introduction 1 Section I: Shakespeare and the English Catholic Individual 25 Chapter One: “I have an eye of you”: Hamlet and a Culture of Surveillance 26 Chapter Two: “Riveted with faith” and “flesh”: Corpus Christi in Merchant of Venice 83 Section II: Shakespeare, the English Throne, and the Church 131 Chapter Three: “The death of kings”: Richard II and Destabilized Kingship 132 Chapter Four: “Trust not my holy order”: Measure for Measure and Erastian Governance 182 Bibliography 220 vii ABSTRACT By the time Shakespeare’s plays first appeared on stage in the late-sixteenth century, the Elizabethan campaign against English Catholics had reached its peak. However, Roman Catholicism continued to influence the English throne, the English Church, and most especially, those men and women who remained devoted to it. Through Shakespeare’s works, we can see a sharper picture of the early modern English Catholic experience and gain a new respect for the individual, political, and ecclesial interests that contributed to it. I begin with the individual in Section I, examining the experience of those who had to determine the depth of their patriotism to a state that had criminalized their religion and eliminated many of its celebrations. In chapter one, I explore Hamlet and the psychological effects of the surveillance culture that Claudius implements and that others appropriate in order to investigate one another and protect themselves. I compare this “rotten” climate of suspicion in Elsinore to Elizabethan England and the anxiety suffered by recusant Catholics as a result of state surveillance into their religious practices. In chapter two, I turn to The Merchant of Venice and its implicit gesture towards Corpus Christi, the Catholic feast that once honored the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist but that had been eradicated from the English church calendar after the Reformation. The play’s clearest references to Corpus Christi occur in its fixation on flesh and in its marriage trope, but these elements then also thrust to the forefront the Jewishness of Christ’s flesh and the difficulties associated with conversion. Hamlet and Merchant of Venice reflect individual English Catholics’ desire to practice their religion peacefully, without state interference in the theological teachings they espoused or the feast days they chose to commemorate. In Section II of this dissertation, I shift away from the individual Catholic and towards the traces of Catholicism in the English monarchy and its state-run church. In chapter three, I discuss Richard II and the inherent instability of English kingship.

  • In Conversation with Christos Yannaras: a Critical View of the Council of Crete
    In conversation with Christos Yannaras: a Critical View of the Council of Crete Andreas Andreopoulos Much has been said and written in the last few months about the Council in Crete, both praise and criticism. We heard much about issues of authority and conciliarity that plagued the council even before it started. We heard much about the history of councils, about precedents, practices and methodologies rooted in the tradition of the Orthodox Church. We also heard much about the struggle for unity, both in terms what every council hopes to achieve, as well as in following the Gospel commandment for unity. Finally, there are several ongoing discussions about the canonical validity of the council. Most of these discussions revolve around matters of authority. I have to say that while such approaches may be useful in a certain way, inasmuch they reveal the way pastoral and theological needs were considered in a conciliar context in the past, if they become the main object of the reflection after the council, they are not helping us evaluate it properly. The main question, I believe, is not whether this council was conducted in a way that satisfies the minimum of the formal requirements that would allow us to consider it valid, but whether we can move beyond, well beyond this administrative approach, and consider the council within the wider context of the spiritual, pastoral and practical problems of the Orthodox Church today.1 Many of my observations were based on Bishop Maxim Vasiljevic’s Diary of the Council, 2 which says something not only about the official side of the council, but also about the feeling behind the scenes, even if there is a sustained effort to express this feeling in a subtle way.

  • A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy
    A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy The lengthy letter that follows was written by His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Piraeus, Seraphim, and His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Dryinoupolis, Andrew, both of the Church of Greece. It was sent to Pope Francis on April 10, 2014. The Orthodox Christian Information Center (OrthodoxInfo.com) assisted in editing the English translation. It was posted on OrthodoxInfo.com on Great and Holy Monday, April 14, 2014. The above title was added for the English version and did not appear in the Greek text. Metropolitan Seraphim is well known and loved in Greece for his defense of Orthodoxy, his strong stance against ecumenism, and for the philanthropic work carried out in his Metropolis (http://www.imp.gr/). His Metropolis is also well known for Greece’s first and best ecclesiastical radio station: http://www.pe912fm.com/. This radio station is one of the most important tools for Orthodox outreach in Greece. Metropolitan Seraphim was born in 1956 in Athens. He studied law and theology, receiving his master’s degree and his license to practice law. In 1980 he was tonsured a monk and ordained to the holy diaconate and the priesthood by His Beatitude Seraphim of blessed memory, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. He served as the rector of various churches and as the head ecclesiastical judge for the Archdiocese of Athens (1983) and as the Secretary of the Synodal Court of the Church of Greece (1985-2000). In December of 2000 the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarch elected him as an auxiliary bishop of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia in which he served until 2002.

  • The Equipping Church: Recapturing God’S Vision for the Priesthood of All Believers
    THE EQUIPPING CHURCH: RECAPTURING GOD’S VISION FOR THE PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS. A BIBLICAL, HISTORICAL, AND REFORMED PERSPECTIVE. A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF MINISTRY BY JUSTIN CARRUTHERS AUGUST 2019 Copyright© 2019 by Justin Carruthers All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Equipping Church: Recapturing God’s Vision for the Priesthood of All Believers. A Biblical, Historical, and Reformed Perspective Justin Carruthers Doctor of Ministry School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary 2019 Many protestant versions of believers’ royal priesthood, including the Christian Reformed Church in North America, are missionally inadequate: priestly functions are often monopolized by the Ministerial Priesthood,1 which leads to the defrocking of the ministry of the priesthood of all believers. In essence, the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers is treated as though it is a true, factual, and fascinating piece of Christian doctrine, but is not always practically lived out in local congregations. We believe in it in theory, but not in practice. A biblical and missional understanding of the church must root the priesthood of all believers in baptism, the initiatory rite that ordains all people into priestly service in the world. A proper re-framing of the priesthood of all believers will serve as the catalyst for a more robust ecclesiology and will be the impetus for the royal priesthood to commit to their earthly vocation to be witnesses of Christ in the world. Content Reader: Dr. David Rylaarsdam Words: 185 1 In the case of the CRCNA, there are four offices of the Ministerial Priesthood: Minister of the Word, Elder, Deacon, and Commissioned Pastor.

  • A Review O F the Literature
    CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE : A Review o f the Literature The John Jay College Research Team KAREN J . TERRY, Ph .D . Principal Investigator JENNIFER TALLON Primary Researcher PART I - LITERATURE REVIEW his literature review provides the reader with an overview of major academic works concerning child sexual abuse in the general population . This is a comprehensive review of the available literature, though it is not a meta-analysis (a synthesis of research results using various statistical methods to Tretrieve, select, and combine results from previous studies) . During the course of the past thirty years, the field of sex offender research has expanded and become increasingly inter-disciplinary . It would be nearly impossible to review every piece of information relating to the topic of child sexual abuse . Instead, this is a compilation of information pertaining to theories, typologies and treatments that have attained general acceptance within the scientific community. I In reviewing the literature concerning sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, the amount of empirical research was limited, and many of the studies suffered from methodological flaws . Additionally, much of the literature consisted of either anecdotal information or impassioned arguments employed by various researchers when characterizing the responses of the church to this incendiary issue . In providing the reader with a comprehensive review, it was necessary to summarize every point of view no matter how controver- sial. Any of the ideas expressed in this review should not be considered indicative of the point of view of either the researchers at John Jay College of Criminal justice, or the Catholic Church . One aim of this literature review is to put into perspective the problem of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church as compared to its occurrence in other institutions and organizations .

  • Richard Hooker, “That Saint-Like Man”, En Zijn Strijd Op Twee Fronten
    Richard Hooker, “that saint-like man”, en zijn strijd op twee fronten Dr. Chris de Jong Renaissance, Humanisme en de Reformatie hebben in Europa een intellectuele, politieke en godsdienstige aardverschuiving veroorzaakt, die geen enkel aspect van de samenleving onberoerd liet. Toen na ongeveer anderhalve eeuw het stof was neergeslagen (1648 Vrede van Westfalen, 1660 Restauratie in Engeland), was Europa onherkenbaar veranderd. Het Protestantse noorden had zich ontworsteld aan de heerschappij van het Rooms-Katholieke zuiden. Dit raakte de meest uiteenlopende zaken: landsgrenzen waren opnieuw getrokken, dynastieke verhoudingen waren gewijzigd, politieke invloedssferen gefragmenteerd als nooit tevoren en het zwaartepunt van de Europese economie was definitief verschoven van de noordelijke oevers van de Middellandse Zee naar Duitsland en de Noordzeekusten. De door Maarten Luther in 1517 in gang gezette Reformatie heeft de eenheid van godsdienst, cultuur, taal en filosofie grotendeels doen verdwijnen. Dat niet alleen, de verbrokkeling en uitholling van het eens zo machtige Rooms-Katholieke geestelijke imperium, die al in de Middeleeuwen begonnen waren, hebben mede de omstandigheden geschapen waardoor vanaf het midden van de zeventiende eeuw een nieuwe intellectuele beweging Europa kon overspoelen: de Verlichting. In Engeland werd de omwenteling in 1534 (Act of Supremacy) in gang gezet door Koning Hendrik VIII (*1491; r. 1509-1547), een conservatief in godsdienstige zaken die niets van Luther moest hebben. Bijgestaan door de onvermoeibare “patron of preaching” Thomas Cromwell (1485-1540) zegde hij in deze 16de eeuwse Brexit de gehoorzaamheid aan Rome op en maakte zo de weg vrij voor een wereldwijde economische en politieke expansie van Engeland. Ook met de vorming van een zelfstandige Engelse nationale kerk koos Hendrik zijn eigen koers, welk beleid na zijn dood na een korte onderbreking werd voortgezet door zijn dochter, Koningin Elizabeth I (*1533; r.
