Signature ______________________________ Date __________________________________ 3 4 Abstract This thesis examines the ‘Awakening movement’ (Erweckungsbewegung) in German Protestantism during the Vormärz period (1815-48) in German history. Many historians have noted that the Awakening was the last nationwide Protestant reform and revival movement to occur in Germany. This thesis interprets the Awakening movement as a product of the larger social changes that were re-shaping German society during the Vormärz period. Theologically, Awakened Protestants were traditionalists. They affirmed religious doctrines that orthodox Protestants had professed since the confessional statements of the Reformation-era. However, Awakened Protestants were also distinctly modern. Their efforts to spread their religious beliefs were successful because of the new political freedoms and economic opportunities that emerged in the early nineteenth century. These social conditions gave members of the emerging German middle class new means and abilities to pursue their religious goals. Awakened Protestants started many academic and popular publications, voluntary societies, and institutions for social reform. Adapting Protestantism to modern society in these ways was the most original and innovative aspect of the Awakening movement. After an introductory chapter, this study proceeds to discuss Awakened Protestants’ religious identity in relation to the history of the German Protestant tradition. Chapter one examines the historical development of the conception of religious ‘awakening’ within German Protestant thought from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Chapter two then analyses how the Awakening movement was animated by a particular set of objections to the eighteenth-century religious Enlightenment and to the Christianity of those who called themselves Protestant ‘rationalists’. Chapters three through six consider how the Awakening movement developed within four distinct areas of Protestant religious life: preaching, academic theology, organised evangelism, and pastoral initiatives. The thesis concludes that the Awakening movement represented the realisation of certain long-term reform goals that Martin Luther had defined in the 1520s. It was a type of Protestantism, whose appearance had previously been inhibited by the limitations of the social, political, and economic conditions of the early modern period. This thesis is the first substantial analysis of the Awakening written in English. 5 6 Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to a number of individuals and institutions whose support has made it possible for me to write this thesis. I first became interested in the ‘Awakening movement’ in early nineteenth- century German Protestantism when I was studying for my master’s degree. I wish to thank Professor Garth Rosell and Dr Adonis Vidu for their encouragement and helpful comments at an early stage in my research on this topic as they supervised my master’s thesis. I also wish to acknowledge the support that I received from the German Academic Exchange Service in the form of a German Studies Research Grant. These funds enabled me to research my master’s thesis in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin during the winter of 2010-11. I am very thankful for the opportunity that the DAAD provided me to go to Germany and examine many books, journals, and special collections that were not available in any American or British libraries. Their early support enabled me to develop a plan for my doctoral research. I owe my greatest debts to my doctoral supervisor, Professor Stewart Brown. I cannot thank him enough for the guidance and support that he has given to me during the past four years. I would also like to thank my secondary supervisors, Professor Paul Nimmo and Dr James Eglinton, for their thoughtful reading of my draft chapters and their helpful discussions. I am very grateful for the hospitality that I received during the seven months that I spent researching this thesis in Berlin, Tübingen, and Hamburg during 2012-13. I would like to thank those who opened their homes to me and I would like to express my appreciation to the Evangelisches Stift in Tübingen for the accommodation that they provided me. I wish to thank the following libraries that have admitted me as a visiting researcher during the past five years as well as those whose digitisation of eighteenth and nineteenth-century works has enabled me to access texts, which I otherwise could not have seen: the Andover-Harvard Theological Library, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, the British Library, the Library of Congress, the the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Düsseldorf, Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen, the National Library of 7 Scotland, the Sächsische Landesbibliothek, the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg, Stanford University Library, the Tübingen Universitätsbibliothek, the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Bonn, the University of Michigan Library, and the University of Toronto Library. I would like to thank the University of Edinburgh for the scholarships they awarded me to undertake my research. Without this support, I could not have written this thesis. Finally, I wish to express my thanks to my family, my parents, Kenneth and Donna, and my sister, Michele, for their love and encouragement over many years. 8 Abbreviations AanKG Archiv für alte und neue Kirchengeschichte ACDS Archives du christianisme au dix-neuvième siècle ADB Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, vols. 1-56, Leipzig, 1875-1912.

Anderson Abilene Christian University, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/etd Part of the History of Christianity Commons Recommended Citation Anderson, Matthew R., "Zealous until Death: "Voluntary Martyrdom" and the Martyrs of Lyons" (2016).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ ACU. ABSTRACT For decades, many scholars have been uncomfortable with the idea that some early Christians were eager to die. This led to the creation of the category “voluntary martyrdom” by which modern historians attempted to understand those martyrs who provoked their own arrest and/or death in some fashion. Scholars then connected this form of martyrdom with an early Christian movement called the New Prophecy, which came to be known as Montanism. Thus, scholars have scoured martyr accounts in an attempt to identify volunteers and, in some cases, label them Montanists. The Letter from the Churches of Vienna and Lyons and the martyrs it depicts did not escape such scrutiny. I contend that the martyrs in that account who have been accused of heresy are not only innocent of heresy but also should not be considered volunteers. This study surveys the role of the language of zeal and enthusiasm in the account of the martyrs of Lyons.

  • C. John Weborg, “Seeking an Interpretive Discrimen in The
    Seeking an Interpretive Discrimen in the Evangelical Covenant Church C. JOHN WEBORG he intent of this paper, voiced from the perspective of a theo- logian in the Covenant Church, is to focus on early Mission TFriends in the context of their history, especially as to how theological formation was taking place. Their Lutheran worship, bib- lical and catechetical instruction, and engagement with Pietism and Revivalism both clarified and, at the same time, made the formation of an interpretive discrimen a complex process. A discrimen, borrow- ing from David Kelsey, is a “configuration of criteria that are in some way organically related,” whereas a norm “is assumed to be absolute or by its very nature to exclude the acceptance of other theological norms.”1 The first part of this configuration of criteria lies in the Lutheran heritage of the Mission Friends. THE MISSION FRIENDS LIVED WITH A LUTHERAN MENTALITY BUT NOT A LUTHERAN METHODOLOGY By mentality I mean appeals to something like an ecclesiastical family identity, a body of writings used at various levels of authority to authorize, defend, explain, or exposit an idea or action, and to use words that nested in a specific tradition. The Oxford Dictionary of Word Histories dates the word “mentality” to the seventeenth century and notes its meaning as a “mental process.”2 The Mission Friends were not biblicistic, despite Waldenström’s question “Where is it written?” While seeking to be biblical, they employed a range of sources for their thought processes, none more valuable than Luther. This mentality worked itself out in the following three ways.

  • The Missionary Reality of the Early Church and the Theology of the First Theologians
    The Theology of the New Testament as Missionary Theology: The Missionary Reality of the Early Church and the Theology of the First Theologians Eckhard J. Schnabel Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Society of New Testament Studies, Halle, August 2-6, 2005 What we today call “theology,” the early Christians regarded as the proclamation of God’s saving acts that leads Jews and Gentiles to faith in Jesus the Messiah and Savior, that strengthens the faith of the followers of Jesus and that reinforces the relevance of the word of God in their everyday lives. The leading men and women of the early church were missionaries and evangelists: Peter in Jerusalem, in Samaria, in the cities of the coastal plain, in northern Anatolia and in Rome; Stephen and Philip in Jerusalem, in Samaria and in the cities of the coastal plain; Barnabas in Antioch and in Cyprus; Paul in Nabatea, in Syria, in Cilicia, in Galatia, in Asia, in Macedonia, in Achaia, in Illyria, in Rome and in Spain; Priscilla in Corinth, in Ephesus and in Rome; Timothy in Macedonia, in Achaia and in Ephesus; Phoebe in Corinth and in Rome; Apollos in Achaia, in Ephesus and on Crete; Thomas prob- ably in India, Matthew probably in Pontus, perhaps in Ethiopia, possibly in Syria; John Mark in Antioch, in Cyprus and in Rome; Luke in Antioch and in Macedonia; John in Jerusalem, in Samaria and in Ephesus. More names could be mentioned. You probably noticed that this list of names included all authors of the books of the New Testaments, with the exception of James, Jude and the unknown author of the Letter to the Hebrews.

George Fry and John M. Drickamer As Lutheranism enters the 1980's some theologians are already suggesting that the denominational "battle for the Bible" waged with such fervor in the 1970's was really a "departure from mainstream classical Protestantism." These scholars contend that "the Scripture ruckus" was caused either by "the importation of Fundamentalism into Lutheranism" or else it was "a peculiar distortion wrought by modern Missouri." Such opinions could hardly be further from the truth. Lest this view gain undue credence, we believe it is helpful to indicate that Lutheranism, when it has been true to its tradition, has always had a high regard for the Scriptures as the Word of God. Such a conviction, furthermore, was, in former times, not limited primarily to the Missouri and Wisconsin Synods. It was nearly universal among America's Lutheran bodies. An illustration of this thesis can be found by looking at the doctrine of Biblical authority in the theology of Henry Eyster Jacobs, a major Lutheran theologian of the start of this century, who had no organic connection with either of the Midwest Lutheran Synods that today uphold a "high view" of the Bible.
