Abstract:

AbstractOn first examination, “muscular Christianity”—with its emphasis on manly vigor and physical strength—positions itself well afield of Christian Science teachings on the non-physical basis of existence, as propounded by founder Mary Baker Eddy. Nonetheless, both movements arose in the nineteenth century with a deep commitment to revitalizing Christianity and its practical value in an increasingly scientific and secular age, especially regarding bodily well-being. Both Eddy and advocates of muscular Christianity defended their respective systems on scientific and religious grounds, focusing on questions of health. At a time when the Young Men's Christian Association was a leading exponent of muscular Christianity, Eddy saw fit to give it significant philanthropic support. While her gift reflected civic goodwill as opposed to a close relationship with the Association, I argue that it was not anomalous to Eddy's overall values and vision for Christian Science. Like muscular Christians, Eddy was calling for a progressive Christianity that met the criteria of a pragmatic age. In giving attention to issues around manhood, Eddy was signaling the necessity as well as potentiality of Christian spirituality to be a source of health and empowerment for modern man.

Abstract : This study reveals the social history of transmigration's effects on the chirstianization of pasaman. This chirstianization took place in 1953, for the existence of christians who have settled in about the 20th century. These christians came from java, and it's mainly in transmigration resettlement areas. In progress until the end of 1980, chirstian activity look dinamics, so that christian could engage in various activity of life. The study uses historical science research methods of heuristic, critisim, interpretation, and historiography. Studies have found that, the social movement of christian resulted from transmigration trough all walks of life in the pasaman. The christian movement in the pasaman included education, place of worship, youth and art, and socioeconomic society. A propesive action is that without resorting to anarchy in a persuasive or inviting approach. This effrot has brough various froms of infrastructure to all sector of life.Keywords : Impact, Transmigration,Christianization, Pasaman.

Abstract:

One of the important questions of Christian geography was the location of Paradise on the inhabited Earth. Among the various theories provided by Christian authorities, none is as sophisticated as that of Philostorgius. Philostorgius put forward the proposition that Paradise was located in the eastern part of the inhabited world, on the equator, with a demonstration that was largely based on the classical non-Christian paideia.

Abstract:

Christians sometimes adopt a relativist theory of ethics called divine command theory (DCT). This ethical theory holds that ethical principles depend entirely on God’s revealed commands and that these commands can be broken so long as God commands it. A Christian realist alternative to DCT is natural law ethics (NLE). NLE claims that ethical principles are apparent through nature and logical because God is the creator and all humans share in the divine image. This paper looks at the theological basis for both theories and recommends that the latter has more support from the Bible, Christian history, secular and inter-faith sources, and science. Natural law ethics allows Christians and non-Christians to identify common values even when the philosophical ground of those values varies. Using consultation and working collaboratively with “one another” allows us to find consensus on complex ethical problems.

Abstract:

Science and religion both constitute vital dimensions of experience, but people differ in their views on proper relations between the two. In modern times, when science increasingly dominates the outlook of society, many regard science and religion as incompatible and strive to maintain them in watertight compartments. In 1972, for example, the National Academy of Sciences, responding to a demand that creationism be given equal time with the theory of evolution in biology classrooms and textbooks, adopted a resolution stating that “religion and science are … separate and mutually exclusive realms of human thought whose presentation in the same context leads to misunderstanding of both scientific theory and religious belief.” The battle over creationism continues, with the National Academy of Sciences and orthodox religious groups both insisting on the incompatibility of the two spheres.

Full text

Abstract:

Toward the end of the seventh century, Anastasius of Sinai took it upon himself to offer advice to lay Christians facing a new Umayyad world. For Anastasius, Christian identity needed simplification. In his Edifying Tales and Questions and Answers, he would de-emphasize theology, arguing that Christian identity was a more basic affair, involving baptism, the eucharist and the sign of the cross. For him, these were ‘rites of maintenance’, acts which sustained Christian identity in a fluid world of religious alternatives. Such actions warded off the demonic and drew a clear boundary between Muslim and Christian. This was important for Anastasius, who considered it his pastoral duty to offer uneducated Christians a tangible sense of their own identity (and superiority). His ritualistic simplification bears witness to an important shift in Palestinian-centred Christianity, as intra-Christian disputes were set aside in an attempt to maintain a ritualistic boundary between Christian and non-Christian.

Abstract:

AbstractAfter a bibliographic introduction highlighting various research trends in science and religion, this essay explores how the current academic and conceptual landscape of theology and science has been shaped by the history of science, even as theology has informed the philosophical foundations of science. The first part assesses the historical interactions of science and the Christian faith (looking at the cases of human dissection in the Middle Ages and the Galileo affair) in order to challenge the common notion that science and religion have always been at war. Part two investigates the nature of the interaction between science and Christian theology by exploring the role that metaphysical presuppositions and theological concepts have played—and continue to play—within the scientific process.

Abstract:

The Mixed Council is an especial form of political interaction of Christians with ofϐicials and diplomats of Ottoman and Russian Empires. The Council was formed in equal numbers form the representatives of hierarchs and seculars. The Council existed in all regions of Ottoman empire inhabited by Christian population. The sources show that the Mixed Council created in order and control all school Institutions as also the schools process was ϐirstly created in the Antioch patriarchy under the pressure of famous diplomat N.P. Ignatieff who was Russian ambassador in Constantinople in 1864–1877 years. The Mixed Council was considered also as a possibility to diminish or even to avoid the inner conϐlicts of Christian population in Syria and Palestine. The active participation of Russian empire in the inner problems of Christian patriarchates may easily be explained by the volume of ϐinancial investments of Russian Empire/ 80% of budget of Jerusalem patriarchate and 30% of Antiochene patriarchy was composed from the money of Russian origin.

Abstract:

Abstract: In Science and Health (1875), Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910) discouraged followers from reading “nauseous fiction,” that is, “[n]ovels, remarkable only for their exaggerated pictures, impossible ideals, and specimens of depravity” (195). This essay examines Eddy’s views on fiction alongside Christian Science novels written around 1900 by followers such as Clara Louise Burnham, Mrs. Georgie Sheldon, and Katherine Yates. Eddy tentatively supported these authors’ literary productions but refused to grant them the endorsement of The Christian Science Publishing Society. Had Eddy endorsed their fictions, she might have attracted more followers and strengthened her religion’s place in literary history.

This paper examines the main concepts of the history of the Early Christian apologetic from the second half of twenty century to the beginning of twenty one century. The author notes that interest to the problem of audience of the apologies is increased in the modern science, the researchers elaborate the new original approaches. Today two views can be distinguished concerning the addressee of the apologies. According to the first, the apologies were intended for non-Christian audience and also could address to the ruling persons. According to the second, the apologies were never read outside the Church and they were created for Christians themselves.

Abstract:

There has never been a social history of Christian Science, a distinctive and controversial new religious group that emphasized metaphysical healing. The group appeared in the United States in the 1870s and 1880s under the leadership of Mary Baker Eddy. This article examines the early rapid growth of Christian Science on the Pacific Coast, for the religion flourished to a greater degree in this health- conscious and socially fluid region than in any other section of the world. Analysis of the occupations of more than 1,000 members and spouses of six Christian Science churches in California, Oregon, and Washington for the years 1905-1907 provides detailed conclusions at variance with previous conjecture. The new evidence shows that Christian Scientists on the Pacific Coast were an ethnically homogeneous, uprooted, and energetic lot from all social levels, with a surprisingly large contingent from the working classes.

Abstract:

Abstract: Richard Dawkins openly declares that he is strongly against religion since religion destroys scientific works. This assumption is not something new. Since the end of the 19th century there was a development of a thesis that claims Christianity and science are two antagonistic poles. Although this thesis is now inadequate, many Christians are still holding on to this view. In realty, the development of Darwinism in the United States is also supported by Christian scientists. When we study Old Princeton theologians we find that they have different attitude about science. When they face pressure on the development of science (in this case evolution), they actually are not reticent in accepting the fact of evolution although they reject mechanistic and naturalistic interpretation of Darwinism upon those facts. Old Princeton theologians give examples on how Christian should take a stand on science. Evangelicals in Indonesia can learn a lot of from their history and tradition.

Abstract:

A Muslim View of Christianity features key texts on Muslim-Christian relations from the pen of Professor Mahmoud Ayoub, who is currently Faculty Associate in Shi‘ite Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations at the renowned Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations in the United States and who was born into a Shi‘ite family in Southern Lebanon. His authority in both the scholarship and comparative study of Islam and Muslim-Christian relations, as well as interreligious dialogue, is demonstrated by the national and international recognition he has received. Hailing himself from a multireligious kaleidoscopic setting - in Southern Lebanon, Shi‘ite Muslims have for centuries lived side-by-side with Christians of various denominations - Ayoub is perhaps particularly well suited when it comes to discussing Christianity from the perspective of Islam.

Abstract:

To eliminate racist prejudices, it is necessary to identify the root cause(s) of racism. American slavery preceded racism, and it was closely associated with genocide. Accordingly, we seek the unique cause of the unique event of genocide + slavery. This was initially justified by religious prejudice, rather than colour prejudice. This religious justification was weakened when many Blacks converted to Christianity, after the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The curse of Kam, using quick visual cues to characterize Blacks as inferior Christians, was inadequate. Hence, the church fell back on an ancient trick of using false history as secular justification for Christian superiority. This trick had resulted in a false history of science during the Crusades when scientific knowledge in translated Arabic texts was indiscriminately attributed to the early Greeks, without evidence. This false history enabled belief in religious superiority to mutate into a secular belief in White superiority. After colonialism, and the Aryan race conjecture, the belief in White superiority further mutated into a belief in Western civilizational superiority, openly propagated today by colonial education. Hence, to eliminate racist prejudice, it is necessary to engage simultaneously with the allied prejudices about Christian/White/Western superiority, based on the same false history of science.

Abstract:

Both Jürgen Moltmann and Arthur Peacocke have sought to address environmental concerns in their theologies. Moltmann espouses the traditional Western theology of history articulated by Augustine, which hinders him in using scientific information with credibility and respect. Peacocke, as a scientist, writes from a theology of history more akin to that of the ancient Greek and Roman history writers, and this makes it difficult for him to accommodate the unique and revelatory content of the Christian faith. This impasse may be resolved by loosening the theology-history nexus, and by allowing the cosmos a limited autonomy in its relationship to God.

Abstract:

Abstract This article considers the depictions of imperial officials and their interactions with Christian communities in the genre of ecclesiastical history. It focuses on one particular episode where the emperor Valens ordered his praetorian prefect Domitius Modestus to disperse an assembly of Nicene Christians at the martyrium of Thomas at Edessa. The four fifth-century Nicene ecclesiastical historians Rufinus, Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret offer the same basic narrative of the events which led to the prefect’s abandonment of his mission. Yet they construe the causes and implications of his reluctance to persecute in strikingly different ways. These adaptations reveal their differing views of the role of imperial officials in matters concerning the church and, more broadly, of what Christian communities might expect from the imperial state in a Christian empire.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTAt the turn of the twentieth century, Christian Scientists contended with ongoing allegations that their faith was more of a mental pathology than a religion. This article analyzes how the Church of Christ, Scientist, in particular its public relations branch the Committee on Publication, systematically contended with popular portrayals of Christian Science as a source or indicator of insanity. Two highly profiled court cases, both predicated on the purported insanity of a Christian Science woman and her attendant inability to manage her business affairs, are explored for their cultural effect on the promotion of the causal association between Christian Science and madness. This study employs newspaper clippings collected and archived by the Church's Committee on Publication as well as court records to argue for the salience of the insanity charge in shaping the early history of Christian Science and its public perception. As a religious tradition premised on divine healing and health, popular psychopathological interpretations of Christian Science were particularly subversive and functioned not only to discredit and undermine the religion's claims to healing but to forward societal fears that Christian Science study posed a unique threat to women's health. This examination draws attention to a dynamic historical exchange between the press and a new religious movement, as well as the polyvalent gendered presumptions embedded in popular charges of insanity in association with religion.

Abstract:

Microbiology’s ecological turn, as it shifts its gaze from the individual microbe to the entanglement and ubiquity of microbial life, is transforming conceptions of human nature and disease in the sciences and humanities. Both the fields of Christian theological anthropology and medical anthropology are tuning in to these microbiological shifts for their reformative possibilities. Meanwhile, practical resistance to these shifts in recent pandemic responses suggest that forces greater than just the “pure science” of microbiology are informing attachments to hyper-modern or Pasteurian epidemiologies and radically independent, buffered views of the self. This essay explores the roots of such resistance. It investigates the interplay of shifts in theological anthropology and disease theories. Cultural anthropology and critical studies offer accounts of epidemiology’s fraught relationship to a history of colonialism, racialization, and vilification of pathogens and pathogenicized humans. This essay adds a theological analysis of the historical entanglement of perspectives on disease and Christian doctrine, which bears on the present pandemic response. It illuminates the ways some Christians “benefit” from germ theory’s influence. Germ theory interrupts key Christian doctrine (especially theodicy) that makes Christian theology resistant to relational accounts of being human. Germ theory’s theological reshaping of Christian teaching may also encourage the current resistance to more relational pandemic responses known as One Health strategies. While reformative and more realistic possibilities of emergent and entangled multispecies accounts of humanity’s microbiality are ample and apt, they must account for the ways in which microbiology has never been epidemiological without also being colonial and theological. In other words, this essay explores the smallest and most reviled “animals” in relationship to Christian conceptions of sin, contagion, and evil as groundwork for engaging humanity’s micro-animality and diseases’ relational aspects. To conclude, I offer four modest suggestions.

Abstract:

AbstractThe interconnectedness of Atlantic West Africa and the Scandinavian Atlantic in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries exemplifies an entangled or shared history (histoire croisée). The present article maintains that in the context of the brutal transatlantic chattel trade this history manifests different historical trajectories as well as the temporality of episodic events and structural duration that are configured in the divergent itineraries of two eighteenth-century African Christians. Their texts and life histories reveal them as purveyors of intertwined Christian and non-Christian cultural codes and discursive fields, in one case according to a plantation-colony itinerary and in the other according to a world-port itinerary. The complex social realities of multiple texts and material cultures did not operate independently of socioeconomic structures intertwined with Atlantic world circuits.

Abstract:

The endeavour of science is to find unity in multitude, relatedness in diversity, continuity in discontinuity. By this way reality is simplified for scientific conception and description. With its reliance on observational data and logic, and with the scientific approach to understand the complexity, functionality, rationality and interrelationship of every aspect of reality, natural sciences do bring forward fascinating new insights on the concealed secrets in natural structures and processes. The crucial position of time in the laws of the universe followed from the work of Newton in the late seventeenth century. Newton gave time an abstract existence, independent from nature. Einstein restored time to its place in the heart of nature, as an integral part of the physical world. From the implications of Einstein’s time, scientists made one of the most important discoveries in the history of human thought: that time, and hence all of physical reality, must have had a definite origin in the past. Thus natural sciences have to accept the concept of origin. God formed man to glorify him as his earthly steward by giving him dominion over creation. Man is therefore responsible to God, also in his formation of science, by which a miraculous world of boundless diversity and interrelationship from the atomic scale to astronomical vastness is revealed. If we also take account of the transcendental revealed principle of creation, scientific thought becomes open, also in our ethical responsibility.

Abstract:

‘Faith’ is one of Christianity's most significant, distinctive and complex concepts and practices, but Christian understandings of faith in the patristic period have received surprisingly little attention. This article explores two aspects of what Augustine terms fides qua, ‘the faith by which believers believe’. From the early second century, belief in the truth of doctrine becomes increasingly significant to Christians; by the fourth, affirming that certain doctrines are true has become central to becoming Christian and to remaining within the church. During the same period, we find a steady growth in poetic and imagistic descriptions of interior faith. This article explores how and why these developments occurred, arguing that they are mutually implicated and that this period sees the beginning of their long co-existence.

Abstract:

“The Mother Church” analyzes the influence of literary sentimentalism on the writings and doctrine of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science. Having attempted a career as a sentimental poet in her early life, Eddy imported sentimental notions of motherhood and parent-child separation into Christian Science belief and iconography.

AbstractThe reception of the rational sciences, scientific practice, discourse and methodology into Arabic Islamic society proceeded in several stages of exchange with the transmitters of Iranian, Christian-Aramaic and Byzantine-Greek learning. Translation and the acquisition of knowledge from the Hellenistic heritage went hand in hand with a continuous refinement of the methods of linguistic transposition and the creation of a standardized technical language in Arabic: terminology, rhetoric, and the genres of instruction. Demonstration more geometrico, first introduced by the paradigmatic sciences-mathematics, astronomy, mechanics-and adopted by philosophers embracing the cosmology of Neoplatonism, was complemented and superseded by the methods of syllogistic demonstration. Faced with the establishment of philosophy as a demonstrative science, which claimed absolute and universal knowledge, even the hermeneuti

Abstract:

The concept of Christian theology departs from God as the ultimate reality but philosophy departs from the human mind which thinks critically, questions many things to their roots. This fact often makes many Christians today still have anti-philosophical attitudes, and this certainly has an impact on the development of Christian religious education. History has recorded that the birth of philosophers in the ancient Greek era emphasized how the beginnings of science developed. This happens because philosophy gave birth to a tradition of critical and logical thinking that breaks, liberates, guides and ultimately brings humans to enlightenment. The development of science cannot be separated from this philosophical tradition. The relevance of philosophy to the development of Christian religious education disciplines is if philosophy, first, the tradition of philosophy gets a portion in the practice of Christian religious education. Second, the practice of Christian religious education must provide space for freedom of thought. Third, the practice of Christian religious education is open and not exclusive. The discipline of philosophy should not be ignored, because it is a tool to describe the philosophical foundations of science, namely ontological, epistemological and axiological. Konsep teologi kristen yang berangkat dari Allah sebagai realitas utama namun sebaliknya filsafat berangkat dari pikiran manusia yang berpikir secara kritis, mempertanyakan banyak hal sampai keakar-akarnya. Kenyataan ini yang kerap menjadikan banyak orang kristen pada masa kini masih memiliki sifat anti terhadap filsafat, dan hal ini tentu berdampak pada perkembangan ilmu pendidikan agama Kristen. Sejarah telah mencatatkan bahwa kelahiran para filsuf pada era Yunani kuno menandaskan bagaimana awal mula ilmu pengetahuan berkembang. Hal ini terjadi karena filsafat melahirkan tradisi berpikir kritis dan logis yang mendobrak, membebas, membimbing dan pada akhirnya membawa manusia kepada pencerahan. Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan tidak bisa dilepaskan dari tradisi filsafat ini. Relevansi filsafat terhadap pengembangan disiplin ilmu pengetahuan pendidikan agama Kristen apabila filsafat, Pertama, tradisi ilmu filsafat mendapatkan porsi dalam praktik ilmu pendidikan Agama Kristen. Kedua, praktik pendidikan agama Kristen harus memberi ruang kebebasan untuk berpikir. Ketiga, praktik ilmu pendidikan agama Kristen bersikap terbuka dan tidak eksklusif. Disiplin ilmu filsafat tidak boleh diabaikan, karena ia merupakan alat untuk menguraikan pondasi ilmu secara filosofis yaitu ontologis, epistemologis dan aksiologis.

Abstract:

AbstractAs Jesuit missionaries in seventeenth-century China struggled to translate Christian theology into Chinese terms and categories, they embarked on a project of purifying the “political” from the “superstitious.” Their project was structured by the unmentionable: the proscribed luxury of silk robes that facilitated the encounters between the missionaries and the native elite they most sought to convert. This article examines the manifold functions of silk and the problem of “accommodation” by turning to theBrevis relatio de numero et qualitate Christianorum apud Sinas(“Brief report on the number and quality of Christians in China”), a booklet authored by the Jesuit missionary Martino Martini (1614–1661). Written for European circulation, theBrevis relatiotouted the triumphs of the mission by incorporating the conceptual imaginary of “China” into the cosmo-political confines of the Euro-Christian world. This article shows how the basic Christian metaphor of horticultural fruitfulness was used to interpret silk and sericulture as material evidence that the Chinese mission field prefigured and promised, both spiritually and commercially, a profitable harvest.

Abstract:

During the 1950s, the universal ideology of Chinese Christian churches clashed with the universal ideology of the Maoist party-state. Since Christian churches were autonomous moral communities (ideologically self-contained, with members collectively claiming authority to define and cultivate moral norms), they hindered the party-state’s ambitions for control. Christians, especially Christian leaders, experienced intense pressure to adopt the new code of Maoist speech. Documents from archives in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan and oral history interviews with members of the True Jesus Church in south China show how, despite the True Jesus Church’s native inclinations to resist, between 1948 and 1958 Maoist rhetoric and discursive patterns replaced biblical rhetoric and discursive patterns in the public life of the church. The contest between religious communities and the state to control the terms of public moral discourse demonstrates the significance of such discourse in demarcating and legitimating community authority.

Abstract:

God’s Crucible marks Lewis’ historical engagement with the major theme of the impact of Islamic civilisation upon the formation of Europe. Through his synthesis of secondary historical studies in English, French and Spanish Lewis paints a broad historical canvas portraying the rise and spread of Islam in South West Asia, its dramatic extension across North Africa into the Iberian peninsula and beyond under the Umayyad Caliphs, and the complex interaction and vicissitudes of Christian and Muslim powers in Hispania/ Andalusia. He ends his narrative with the start of the reconquista at the fateful Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, which was fought not far from Toledo in central Spain and which ended with the total victory of the combined forces of three Christian kings of Castile, Aragon, and Navarra over the Almohad caliph Muhammad III (r. 1199-1213): “the first war fought by Christians and Muslims exclusively as Muslims and as Christians - a war between civilizations” (p. 378). Lewis clearly has the contemporary ‘clash’ in mind when exploiting this much abused phrase.
