Historians rarely offer more than a brief biography and often neglect to mention at all his key role in the Great Schism. Yet, the very absence ofPope Benoit XIU from most historical narratives of medieval history itself highlights the active role that historians play in determining what gets recorded. In some cases, the choices that people make in determining what does, and what does not, get included in historical accounts reveals as much about the motivations and intentions of the people recording that past as it does about their subjects. This essay studies one example of this problem, in this case Europeans during the Reformation era who self-consciously manipulated sources from medieval history to promote their own agendas. We can see this in the sixteenth-century translation ofa treatise written by the medieval theologian Nicholas de Clamanges (1363-1437. Clamanges was a university professor and served as Benoit XIII's secretary during the Great Schism in Avignon, France. The treatise, entitled La Traite de fa Ruine de f'Eglise, was written in Latin in 1398 and was first distributed after Clamanges' death in 1437.

  • Geneva Revisited Or Calvinism Revised: the Case for Theological Reassessment ALAN CLIFFORD
    Geneva Revisited or Calvinism Revised: The case for theological reassessment ALAN CLIFFORD In recent years, the precise character of Calvin's 'Calvinism' has been extensively discussed. 1 Numerous scholarly contributions have been occasioned by Dr. R.T. Kendall's provocative monograph Calvin and English Calvinism to 1649 (1979). The discussion seems to suggest, on balance, that a significant theological gap does exist between Calvin and later Calvinists,2 although many remain unconvinced. Various factors might explain a widespread reluctance to revise what is regarded as the traditional view of Calvin, with all that this might entail for Reformed orthodoxy. (Could our venerated Calvin be wrong, or are we 'out of step' after all?). Tradition is a powerful obstacle to theological revision. The situation may be compounded by personal psychological factors; there is a sense of security in a clear-cut, unquestioned theological stance vis-a-vis the fluctuating uncertainties of much alternative theology. A generation of Reform­ ed scholars and preachers have established their reputations on the strength of their commitment to the 'Five Points'. and acceptance within the Reformed fraternity will not be lightly jeopardised. Whereas an idiosyncratic individualism, and a ·unity-at-any-price' ecumenism are alike to be shunned. the true scholar will ever be ready to reach new conclusions if the evidence is deemed sufficiently compelling. In addition to the 'truth-value' of any viewpoint, it will appear all the more attractive if it possesses a distinct tendency to reconcile opposing positions. Although truth, rather than deliberate compromise, must ever lead the way, the pursuit of an orthodox via media will ever be a legitimate concern for the evangelical scholar.

  • New Calvinism - the Merger of Calvinism with Worldliness
    New Calvinism - The Merger of Calvinism with Worldliness By Dr Peter Masters Church Issues | The Sword & Trowel December 2009 When I was a youngster and newly saved, it seemed as if the chief goal of all zealous Christians, whether Calvinistic or Arminian, was consecration. Sermons, books and conferences stressed this in the spirit of Romans 12.1-2, where the beseeching apostle calls believers to present their bodies a living sacrifice, and not to be conformed to this world. The heart was challenged and stirred. Christ was to be Lord of one’s life, and self must be surrendered on the altar of service for him. But now, it appears, there is a new Calvinism, with new Calvinists, which has swept the old objec- tives aside. A recent book, Young, Restless, Reformed, by Collin Hansen tells the story of how a so-called Calvinistic resurgence has captured the imaginations of thousands of young people in the USA, and this book has been reviewed with great enthusiasm in well-known magazines in the UK, such as Banner of Truth, Evangelical Times, and Reformation Today. This writer, however, was very deeply saddened to read it, because it describes the New Calvinism as a seriously distorted Calvinism falling far, far short of an authentic life of obedience to a sovereign God. If this kind of Calvinism prospers, then genuine biblical piety will be under attack as never before. The author of the book is a young man (around 26 when he wrote it) who grew up in a Christian family and trained in secular journalism.

  • Calvinism and Arminianism Are Tw
    K-Group week 3 Question: "Calvinism vs. Arminianism - which view is correct?" Answer: Calvinism and Arminianism are two systems of theology that attempt to explain the relationship between God's sovereignty and man's responsibility in the matter of salvation. Calvinism is named for John Calvin, a French theologian who lived from 1509-1564. Arminianism is named for Jacobus Arminius, a Dutch theologian who lived from 1560-1609. Both systems can be summarized with five points. Calvinism holds to the total depravity of man while Arminianism holds to partial depravity. Calvinism’s doctrine of total depravity states that every aspect of humanity is corrupted by sin; therefore, human beings are unable to come to God on their own accord. Partial depravity states that every aspect of humanity is tainted by sin, but not to the extent that human beings are unable to place faith in God of their own accord. Note: classical Arminianism rejects “partial depravity” and holds a view very close to Calvinistic “total depravity” (although the extent and meaning of that depravity are debated in Arminian circles). In general, Arminians believe there is an “intermediate” state between total depravity and salvation. In this state, made possible by prevenient grace, the sinner is being drawn to Christ and has the God-given ability to choose salvation. Calvinism includes the belief that election is unconditional, while Arminianism believes in conditional election. Unconditional election is the view that God elects individuals to salvation based entirely on His will, not on anything inherently worthy in the individual. Conditional election states that God elects individuals to salvation based on His foreknowledge of who will believe in Christ unto salvation, thereby on the condition that the individual chooses God.

The Ideology All rights reserved. © Conclusion INTRODUCTION1 Understanding the movement and the ideology la- belled Calvinism is a rather challenging topic. But none- theless it is an important topic to tackle. As important as any part of such an endeavour is deciding on a “plan of attack” in getting into the topic. The movement covered by this label “Calvinism” has spread out its tentacles all over the place and in many different, sometimes in conflicting directions. The logical starting place is with the person whose name has been attached to the label, although I’m quite sure he would be most uncomfortable with most of the content bearing his name.2 After exploring the history of John Calvin, we will take a look at a few of the more influential interpreters of Calvin over the subsequent centuries into the present day. This will open the door to attempt to explain the ideology of Calvinism with some of the distinctive terms and concepts associated exclusively with it. I. The Persons From the digging into the history of Calvinism, I have discovered one clear fact: Calvinism is a religious thinking in the 1500s of Switzerland when he lived and movement that goes well beyond John Calvin, in some worked.

  • Thomas Chalmers
    •; JDL 26 ini '^OfilCAL Sfc® The Princeton Theological Review JULY, 1919 THE CRISES OF CHRISTIANITY AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE As oppositions of contraries lend beauty to language, so the beauty of the course of the world is achieved by the opposition of contraries, arranged as it were by an Christianity is at a crisis. This does not mean that she is decreasing numerically. Over 570,000,000 2 persons avow themselves Christians. Neither does it mean that she is calling in her outposts. Every considerable country is being occupied by the missionaries of the cross. Nor yet does it mean that at home she is losing interest in social progress. As never before sociology is her study and philanthropy her passion. What is meant is that while developing her philanthropy, she is detaching it from the church and even from Christ. A constantly growing number of Christians are advocating and are themselves supporting “welfare work” which is intentionally and often ostentatiously non-religious. What could be more suggestive, more alarming? The bouquet of roses is both beautiful and fragrant. In a day or two, how- ever, its perfume will have gone and its beauty will have departed. It must be so with flowers that have been picked from the living bush. Can it be otherwise with social or charitable movements which have separated themselves from Christ, even if they have not in terms repudiated him? At best they are but flowers that have been picked. Again, the crisis of Christianity appears in this, that while her missionaries are multiplying, their gospel, it would seem, here and there, little by little, is being depleted and emas- culated.

  • Edwards and the Next Generation of Evangelicals
    EDWARDS AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF EVANGELICALS Piper is coming to Sydney this year, and will draw massive crowds. Driscoll isn’t coming to Sydney this year, but it is estimated that a million of his sermons will be downloaded in Australia anyway. Many of us would like Keller to visit, but he is not especially the travelling sort. These men, the Holy Trinity (as they have been called) of neo-Calvinist church-planting energy, are getting our attention, and redrawing the map of contemporary evangelicalism, not just in Australia but all around the world. Of course, they are just the tip of the iceberg. We don’t hear as much in Australia about CJ Mahaney, or Ligon Duncan, or Mark Dever, or Ed Stetzer, or Josh Harris, or Rick Holland, but they are all influential in Reformed circles in the US, and represent what Collin Hansen, journalist for Christianity Today, has dubbed the young, restless and Reformed generation. Their mega-conferences which go under the titles of “Together for the Gospel,” or “Resolved,” “Passion” or “Next,” bring together thousands of pastors and lots of wannabes to hear expository preaching and to sing contemporary music with seriously theological lyrics. What is perhaps more significant, they all drink at the same well: Jonathan Edwards. I am unabashed apologist for Edwards, a great enthusiast for understanding the eighteenth century revivals, and especially the impact those revivals have had on the foundations of Christianity in Australia, but I am nevertheless amazed by the resurgence of interest in Edwards amongst Gen Y believers. I came to Edwards by reading about Methodism and Pietism.
