Michalson, G. E. "Moral Regeneration and Divine Aid in Kant." Religious Studies 25, no. 3 (1989): 259–70. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0034412500019843.

Abstract:

Kant is often viewed as the exemplar of the Enlightenment tendency to reduce religion to morality, to eliminate religious appeals to mystery or to supernatural action, and to insist – in Kant's own words – that we ourselves must make ourselves ‘into whatever, in a moral sense, whether good or evil’, we are to become. His entire philosophy in some ways epitomizes what Hans Blumenberg has called the ‘project of self–assertion’, the ‘essence of which [can be] formulated as the “program of antidivine self–deification”’. For if the centerpiece of Kant's philosophical vision is human autonomy, and i

Abstract:

Abstract The late Bishop S. F. Makalani-MaHee (1972–2017) was a minister, activist, actor/singer, composer, and spoken word artist. His essays, songs, poetry, plays, and sermons reflect his “Blackpentecostal” and Southern Baptist upbringing as well as his embrace of liberation theology, womanism, and Black feminist thought. This article analyzes his only published collection of poems, Don’t!, as a profound repertoire and theological manifesto with the aid of his autobiographical writings, performances, and eponymous archive housed at the Stonewall National Museum and Archives.

Abstract:

This article engages with the work of Oliver Davies to ask about the role of divine transcendence in Davies’ project of ‘Transformation Theology’. While Davies argues that a theology of transcendence paints a picture of a remote God, this article asks whether this is an accurate reading of the tradition of thinking about divine transcendence. The tradition, this article argues, has commonly depicted transcendence as that feature of divinity that enables, rather than hinders, divine agency in the world. As a result, the article asks of Davies whether a conscious positive engagement with the con

Abstract:

Political theorists have long disagreed about what Rousseau's account of conscience means. While most approaches to that account focus on the “Profession of Faith of the Savoyard Vicar,” this essay focuses on another aspect of Emile, the development of conscience in Emile himself. First, I argue that conscience is transformed from problem to solution when self-love is transformed, first into gratitude, then, with the aid of religion, rhetoric, and imagination, into duty. Those who insist that conscience is rooted in passion are right, though that passion is not necessarily low. Second, those w

Abstract:

Divine healing sometimes sparks fervent debates among Bible-believing individuals about its central role in the Bible. The undeniable fact is that divine healing occurred in both the Old and New Testaments, indicating that it is not in conflict with the teachings of the Bible. When Jesus healed someone, as He frequently did, His motive was never self-glorification but rather to aid those in need. He is a compassionate Healer, a Savior, addressing both physical and spiritual ailments. In Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 3, a divine healing event is recounted, and it holds significance for evangeli

Abstract:

Despite the relative scarcity of references to Hegel in Strauss’s published work, one can (with the aid of his 1958 seminar on Hegel’s Philosophy of History) begin to get a sense of how Strauss regarded Hegel. This paper deals with Strauss’s views concerning the Hegelian construal of faith and God. For Strauss, Hegel’s construal of divine personality as subject rather than substance amounts to something like a rejection of the divine personality (traditionally understood as calling forth religious faith).

Abstract:

In <em>Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason</em>, Kant claims that we may need to invoke divine aid in order to explain how a person can change from evil to good. Kant’s language is a bit curious; why does he not more clearly assert, either that we must posit divine grace, or that we may not? The explanation is this: if we affirm that God grants aid, then this could convince people to passively await it or to think, upon becoming good, that they are part of a special elect. On the other hand, if we affirm that God does not help, then some may despair of ever becoming good while thos

Abstract:

Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy can be read as a journey of human knowledge from the darkness of evil to the bright vision of God. In this sense, it is a journey that culminates in a divine contemplation for which the soul has to prepare itself by moving away from evil and cleansing itself of all imper-fections caused by sin. For this reason, before contemplating God in Paradise, Dante must know evil in Hell and purify himself of it in Purgatory. It is a journey that is at the same time, knowledge of oneself, that is knowledge of one’s own limits and possibilities, moral knowledge, that is kno

Abstract Christianity has been instrumental in fashioning the contemporary Western paradigm of humanitarian aid and development. However, as a secular agenda increasingly defines this space, the question of what difference a religious cosmology makes to Christian faith-based development organisations (FBDO s) becomes significant. While faith convictions initiated early humanitarian efforts, Christian FBDO s have arguably acquiesced to secular pragmatic rationales for their work, rather than allow theology to have explanatory and regulatory influence. In many ways, therefore, FBDO s are devoid

Comparable to rosaries or prayer nuts, this amulet conveys its assumed protective powers through specific devotional acts. Its textual program prefigures such pious practices, which include carrying the amulet above one’s heart, folding and unfolding it, reciting a profession of faith and the divine names,

Narrative identity, as explicated by Ricoeur and Frei, is a means of understanding a character within a literary plot, or real life, as displayed in a narrated sequence of events. A person's identity, especially within literature, is the constancy of the self in the tortuous events of a narrated sequence over time.

In contrast, the reaction to the global natural disasters of 2005 has been quite different.

Neither seeking to resolve legal details nor undertaking character studies is likely to aid our understanding of the book of Ruth. Rather, the work is a ‛story’ which begins with multiple problems in Moab and ends with abundance in Judah. The book thus deals with the theme of providence which is effected by the actions ofboth Yahweh and various humans, especially Ruth and Boaz. The intertwining of divine and human activity is emphasized in particular through the prayers of intercession and thanksgiving. These prayers are given particular attention in this article.

This paper refers to the history of the Huns in the period 420–440, with a special regard to the circumstances of King Ruga’s death.

The common source was the lost speech of Patriarch Proclus, in which he linked Ruga’s name to the people of Rhos, in Ezechiel’s prophecy. The Hun King suddenly died in 434, most probably before the start of his campaign against eastern Rome.

AbstractThe paper seeks to address three objections to pilgrimage practices – they are tied to superstitious beliefs (except where they are seen as simply an aid to the imagination), imply a crude experiential or emotional understanding of the nature of faith, and rest upon a primitive conception of divine localizability. In responding to these objections, I argue that the religious significance of places is not reducible to their contribution to religious imagination, experience or understanding. In this sense, relationship to God is not just a matter of thought, but of location.

Orthodox Jewish schools in Jerusalem, or yeshivot, take an orthopractic approach to religious education as informing all aspects of life, rather than a delimited set of doctrines or beliefs. As such, questions of security fall within the purview Jewish religious education. To look more closely at the

Abstract:

In April 1204, a Western crusading army on its way to the Holy Land attacked and occupied the Eastern Roman capital of Constantinople in the notorious debacle of the Fourth Crusade. Pope Innocent III had adamantly forbidden the detour but lost control over the army. After the siege was successful, he seems to have wanted at least to use the conquest to effect a forced reunion of the churches East and West. In this frame of mind Innocent later explained to Theodore Laskaris, Emperor of Nicaea, who had complained that an army commissioned to aid the Holy Land had instead turned their crusading s

Famines and food scarcities in the Highlands and Islands, apart from those of the 1690s and 1847, have been under-examined in Scottish historiography. This article considers an aspect of the serious famine of 1836–7: the public response to the famine as reflected by the committees set up to solicit public subscriptions, principally in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London and by the contemporary newspaper reportage. Three themes in particular are examined: the motive and role of the proprietors in seeking subscriptions; the extent to which the evangelical ethos of the day – that the most potent weapon

In July or August 1474 in Senigallia, a town on the coast of the Adriatic sea, a translation into Hebrew was completed of theArs brevis, a work by the medieval Christian philosopher, mystic, and missionary Ramon Llull. Within a couple of years, this translation had been copied a number of times, and from the colophon of one of these copies, it appears that this work was rated very highly by its Jewish readers as an aid for achieving mystical experience. Any interest shown by the adherents of one faith in the texts of another is important for shedding light on common intellectual interests and

The return of the Florentine republic (1527–30) ushered in a tense period of political upheaval. As the city faced an imperial siege and bouts of famine and plague, the government promoted a vibrant spiritual program to combat dangers to its independence. The motet flourished within this environment, but the connections between this repertory and civic life in early sixteenth-century Florence have yet to be fully explored. Since the mid-twentieth century, music historians have examined Florentine manuscript sources of the motet (the Newberry Partbooks and Vallicelliana Partbooks) and have arti

The current study investigates the concept of self- conflict in Kazantzakis’ movie version of the novel The Last Temptation of Christ from a critical stylistic perspective. The Last Temptation of Christ is selected as a sample of analysis since it clearly portrays the life of Jesus Christ who struggles with various forms of temptation including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance and lust. Assuming and implying, being one of stylistic tools listed in Jeffries’ (2010) framework, is the only tool examined in this study.

The words of Jesus on the cross serve as a model of forgiveness, a gift of the Spirit which is incarnated in the believer, and which transforms his psychology as a victim and his relationship with the executioner.

Evangelicals like Maclaurin endorsed the transatlantic evangelical revivals while still maintaining that such pervasive and multifarious spiritual awakenings were not a chaotic display of enthusiasm. Maclaurin supposed that God had created humanity with the ability to reason and could influence one's thinking to adopt epistemological assumptions about religion which some saw as

Like the Europeans who believed in a divine mandate to civilize the “backward” people of the world, the United States found that its financial capital and economic power gives it the authority to intervene in the affairs of the Global South and shape these emerging nations into a new image.
