Religion Resource List William F William F. Doverspike, Ph.D., ABPP 1 Religion Course Resources Religion Resource List William F. Doverspike, PhD Bibliography Updated September 24, 2021 These reference entries include sources that may be cited in class. The purpose of this bibliography is to assist students in finding a source of information if the citation is not contained in the lecture notes or presentation decks. These sources vary widely in terms of their degree of scholarly value, ranging from publications in peer-reviewed scientific and professional journals to internet blog posts describing the personal experiences of individual authors. As a general rule when writing papers, students should cite only scholarly sources and peer-reviewed research. Although some entries include the author’s first and last names, most reference entries are listed in APA (2010) Publication Manual (6th ed.) style, which provides more detail for print publications (e.g., such as location of publisher). Other reference list entries are written in APA (2020) Publication Manual (7th ed.) style, which provides more detail for digital sources (e.g., such as name of website). Sometimes the distinction between online periodical types is ambiguous (e.g., blog hosted by a newsletter). To aid the reader, long uniform resource locators rather than short ones are used. For most blog posts, magazine articles, and newspaper articles (e.g., blogs, journals, conference proceedings) that have a parent or overarching publication other than the website itself, the style in this bibliography generally follows APA (2020, p. 320, Section 10.16) style. For webpages on a website with a group author or an individual author, in which there is no a parent or overarching publication other than the website itself, the style generally follows Example 111 or 112 in APA (2020, p. 351). Abercrombie, W. P. (2013, April 25). Whatever became of sin? https://bcinstitute.com/whatever- became-of-sin-4/ W.

Doverspike, Ph.D., ABPP 2 Religion Course Resources Adele, D. (2009). The yamas & niyamas: Exploring Yoga’s ethical practice. Duluth, MN: On- Word Bound Books. Deborah Adele examines the yamas and their complement, the niyamas, which are the first two limbs of the eight-fold path of yoga sutras—the basic text for classical yoga. They represent a series of ethical rules or “right living” within Hinduism and Yoga. These are restraints for Proper Conduct as given in the Holy Veda, which constitutes the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. The first five guidelines are referred to as the yamas—a Sanskrit word that variously translates to “restraints,” “control,” or “reining in” (i.e., “don’t do these”)—and encompass nonviolence, truthfulness, not stealing, nonexcess, and nonpossessiveness. The last five are referred to as the niyamas, or observances (i.e., “do these”)—purity, contentment, self-discipline, self-study, and surrender. These 10 principles have sometimes been called the “Yoga Ten Commandments.” Foundational to all yogic thought, these principles are considered to be the guidelines to the yoga way of living, in which individuals to take ownership of their lives; direct them toward the fulfillment they seek; and gain the skills to choose attitude, thought, and action.

The five books of Moses: A translation with commentary. New York, NY: W.W. Norton & Company. William F. Doverspike, Ph.D., ABPP 3 Religion Course Resources Robert Bernard Alter, Ph.D. (b. 1935) is an American professor of Hebrew and comparative literature at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has taught since 1967. He published his translation of the Hebrew Bible in 2018. Dr. Alter provides an enlightening translation of the Hebrew text of the Pentateuch—the Torah—where, according to reviewer Edward Rothstein (2004, p. 1), “pronouns are often ambiguous, words are compacted with multiple meanings and clauses can begin to make sense not in the ordinary sequence of reading but only in the course of doubling back and rereading.” See also Rothstein (2004). Alter, Robert. (2018, December 18). The Hebrew Bible: A translation with commentary [3 volume set]. New York, NY: W. W. Norton and Company. Described in reviews as “accurate, eloquent, and definitive,” Professor Robert Alter’s landmark translation of the Hebrew Bible strikes a graceful balance between illuminating the meaning of the Hebrew and conveying the musical cadence of the text. He provides insightful commentary for the Five Books of Moses, the Prophets, and The Writings. Baptist, Edward E. (2014). The half has never been told: Slavery and the making of American capitalism. New York, NY: Basic Books Americans in the U.S. tend to view slavery as a pre-modern institution—the nation’s original sin, perhaps, but isolated in time and divorced from America’s later success. To do so, however, robs the millions who suffered in bondage of their full legacy. As historian Edward E. Baptist, Ph.D., Professor of History at Cornell University, reveals that the expansion of slavery in the first eight decades after American independence drove the evolution and modernization of the United States. In the span of a single lifetime, the South grew from a narrow coastal strip of worn-out tobacco plantations to a continental cotton empire, and the U.S. grew into a modern, industrial, and capitalist economy. Told through intimate slave narratives, plantation records, newspaper article, and the words of politicians, entrepreneurs, and escaped slaves, The Half Has Never Been Told offers a new interpretation of American history.

  • Revelation and Inspiration and the Bible
    Revelation and Inspiration and the Bible REVELATION is that act by which God discloses Himself or communicates truth to the mind. We can talk about two kinds of revelation. First there is general revelation - the revelation of God in creation. Psalm 19:1-6 reflects this. Romans 1:19- 20 teaches us that God's attributes, power and divine nature are clearly seen, being understood from what is made. Creation will always wear the "fingerprints" of the Creator. However, Psalm 19:7-14 refers to the the form of revelation, whereby God reveals his will - which we call special revelation - nature cannot reveal moral and spiritual responsibilities - these are communicated verbally. Adam and Eve in the garden had both. Before the fall, they could see clearly God revealed in creation and had his spoken commandments (Gen. 1:28,2:16,17) . They were in personal communication with God. Romans 1:18-25 teaches us that general revelation is sufficient to leave man inexcusable for disbelief, but insufficient for salvation. This is due in part to the fallenness of man, his heart and reason darkened so he cannot understand and he has "suppressed the truth in unrighteousness." Professing wisdom, they became fools, exchanging God for created things- worshipping creation rather than the Creator. (Rom 1:25) As a result they live lives controlled by lusts and passions and darkened minds. (vs. 38) Further there was no need to "build" revelation concerning God's redemption into the creation of a perfect unfallen world. Now that man is fallen, and needs redemption- he needs that special revelation that reveals God's redemptive activity (Rom 10:8-17.) We need special revelation (God's spoken self-disclosure) to correctly perceive Him in the creation and as redeemer and Lord.

Thus I say: “Have mercy, have mercy O my Lord, the All-Merciful, upon my blameworthy attributes, my wicked deeds, my unseemly acts, and my deceitful and injurious words!” For the outcome of these is realized in the contingent realm as hell and hellfire, and the infernal and fetid trees, as utter malevolence, loathsome things, sicknesses, misery, pollution, and war and destruction.1 —BAHÁ’U’LLÁH It is clear and evident, therefore, that the first bestowal of God is the Word, and its discoverer and recipient is the power of understanding.

  • Who's Who at the Rodin Museum
    WHO’S WHO AT THE RODIN MUSEUM Within the Rodin Museum is a large collection of bronzes and plaster studies representing an array of tremendously engaging people ranging from leading literary and political figures to the unknown French handyman whose misshapen proboscis was immortalized by the sculptor. Here is a glimpse at some of the most famous residents of the Museum… ROSE BEURET At the age of 24 Rodin met Rose Beuret, a seamstress who would become his life-long companion and the mother of his son. She was Rodin’s lover, housekeeper and studio helper, modeling for many of his works. Mignon, a particularly vivacious portrait, represents Rose at the age of 25 or 26; Mask of Mme Rodin depicts her at 40. Rose was not the only lover in Rodin's life. Some have speculated the raging expression on the face of the winged female warrior in The Call to Arms was based on Rose during a moment of jealous rage. Rose would not leave Rodin, despite his many relationships with other women. When they finally married, Rodin, 76, and Rose, 72, were both very ill. She died two weeks later of pneumonia, and Rodin passed away ten months later. The two Mignon, Auguste Rodin, 1867-68. Bronze, 15 ½ x 12 x 9 ½ “. were buried in a tomb dominated by what is probably the best The Rodin Museum, Philadelphia. known of all Rodin creations, The Thinker. The entrance to Gift of Jules E. Mastbaum. the Rodin Museum is based on their tomb. CAMILLE CLAUDEL The relationship between Rodin and sculptor Camille Claudel has been fodder for speculation and drama since the turn of the twentieth century.

  • 'Solved by Sacrifice' : Austin Farrer, Fideism, and The
    ‘SOLVED BY SACRIFICE’ : AUSTIN FARRER, FIDEISM, AND THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH Robert Carroll MacSwain A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St. Andrews 2010 Full metadata for this item is available in the St Andrews Digital Research Repository at: https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/920 This item is protected by original copyright ‘SOLVED BY SACRIFICE’: Austin Farrer, Fideism, and the Evidence of Faith Robert Carroll MacSwain A thesis submitted to the School of Divinity of the University of St Andrews in candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The saints confute the logicians, but they do not confute them by logic but by sanctity. They do not prove the real connection between the religious symbols and the everyday realities by logical demonstration, but by life. Solvitur ambulando, said someone about Zeno’s paradox, which proves the impossibility of physical motion. It is solved by walking. Solvitur immolando, says the saint, about the paradox of the logicians. It is solved by sacrifice. —Austin Farrer v ABSTRACT 1. A perennial (if controversial) concern in both theology and philosophy of religion is whether religious belief is ‘reasonable’. Austin Farrer (1904-1968) is widely thought to affirm a positive answer to this concern. Chapter One surveys three interpretations of Farrer on ‘the believer’s reasons’ and thus sets the stage for our investigation into the development of his religious epistemology. 2. The disputed question of whether Farrer became ‘a sort of fideist’ is complicated by the many definitions of fideism.

  • Progressive Revelation
    PROGRESSIVE REVELATION THE Protevangelium, God's word of salvation to fallen man in Paradise, is the beginning of the special revelation contained in the Bible. Only in Eden has general revelation been adequate to the needs of man. Man having fallen, " God breaks His way in a round-about fashion into man's darkened heart to reveal there His redemptive love. By slow steps and gradual stages He at once works out His saving purpose and moulds the world for its reception, choosing a people for Himself and training it through long and weary ages, until at last when the fulness of time has come, He bares His arm and sends out the proclamation of His great salvation to all the earth " (Warfield). The whole history of salvation is one coming of God to His people, one speech of grace to man. It is an historical revelation given first through patriarchs and prophets and ultimately in the Son-a revelation essentially different from the general manifestation of God, e.g. in the works of His hands or in the rational nature of man, because it is redemptive in purpose and soteriological in character. This "word" of God is a revelation of grace and salvation. Under the old covenant men served as the medium through which this word was sounded, until finally the whole revelation is summed up in the one moment of incarnation, when the Word Himself became flesh. It seems quite evident, therefore, that God chose to give the revelation of His grace only progressively, or in other words through the process of an historical development.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. 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 material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations 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 through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Theologian Millard Erickson responds as follows: “But what of the judgment of man, spoken of by Paul in Romans 1 and 2? If it is just for God to condemn man, and if man can become guilty without having known God’s special revelation, does that mean that man without special revelation can do what will enable him to avoid the condemnation of God? In Rom. 2:14 Paul says: ‘When Gentiles who have not the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.’ Is Paul suggesting that they could have fulfilled the requirements of the law? “What if someone then were to throw himself upon the mercy of God, not knowing upon what basis that mercy was provided? Would he not in a sense be in the same situation as the Old Testament believers? The doctrine of Christ and his atoning work had not been fully revealed to these people.
