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.

    Oberlin Oberlin Historic Landmarks Historic Landmarks 6th Edition 2018 A descriptive list of designated landmarks and a street guide to their locations Oberlin Historic Landmarks Oberlin Historic Preservation Commission Acknowledgments: Text: Jane Blodgett and Carol Ganzel Photographs for this edition: Dale Preston Sources: Oberlin Architecture: College and Town by Geoffrey Blodgett City-wide Building Inventory: www.oberlinheritage.org/researchlearn/inventory Published 2018 by the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Oberlin Sixth edition; originally published 1997 Oberlin Historic Preservation Commission Maren McKee, Chair Michael McFarlin, Vice Chair James Young Donna VanRaaphorst Phyllis Yarber Hogan Kristin Peterson, Council Liaison Carrie Handy, Staff Liaison Saundra Phillips, Secretary to the Commission Introduction Each building and site listed in this booklet is an officially designated City of Oberlin Historic Landmark. The landmark designation means, according to city ordinance, that the building or site has particular historic or cultural sig- nificance, or is associated with people or events important to the history of Oberlin, Ohio, or reflects distinguishing characteristics of an architect, archi- tectural style, or building type. Many Oberlin landmarks meet more than one of these criteria. The landmark list is not all-inclusive: many Oberlin buildings that meet the criteria have not yet been designated landmarks. To consider a property for landmark designation, the Historic Preservation Commission needs an appli- cation from its owner with documentation of its date and proof that it meets at least one of the criteria. Some city landmarks are also listed on the National Register of Historic Plac- es, and three are National Historic Landmarks. These designations are indicat- ed in the text.

After considering the above filings, their attached or referenced exhibits, and for the reasons that follow, Defendants' Motions for Summary Judgment are granted in part and denied in part. I.

    History 308/708, RN314/614, TX849 Religious Thought in America Fall Term, 2018 MWF: 1:25-2:15 Jon H. 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.
