Download or read book Hinterland Theology written by Alan P.F. Sell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Sell maintains that systematic and constructive theology are best understood as the product of a conversation with the biblical writers, the heritage of Christian thought and the current intellectual environment. The conversation will benefit if the voices of hinterland writers are heard as well as those of the theological and philosophical 'giants'. In this book ten hinterland theologians associated with English Dissent are introduced and their writings are discussed. Thomas Ridgley, Abraham Taylor and Samuel Chandler wrote in the wake of the Toleration Act of 1689; George Payne and Richard Alliott responded to the Enlightenment and the Evangelical Revival; D. W. Simon, T. Vincent Tymms and Walter F. Adeney took account of modern biblical criticism, and Robert S. Franks and Charles S. Duthie respectively lived through and followed the heyday of liberal theology. The study reveals both adjustments and time-lags in theology, and shows how hinterland theologians can stimulate the ongoing conversation concerning theological method, philosophico-theological relations, the Trinity, the atonement and ecumenism.

Download or read book Heresy Literature and Politics in Early Modern English Culture written by David Loewenstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-21 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume of essays brings together a team of leading early modern historians and literary scholars in order to examine the changing conceptions, character, and condemnation of 'heresy' in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Definitions of 'heresy' and 'heretics' were the subject of heated controversies in England from the English Reformation to the end of the seventeenth century. These essays illuminate the significant literary issues involved in both defending and demonising heretical beliefs, including the contested hermeneutic strategies applied to the interpretation of the Bible, and they examine how debates over heresy stimulated the increasing articulation of arguments for religious toleration in England. Offering fresh perspectives on John Milton, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and others, this volume should be of interest to all literary, religious and political historians working on early modern English culture.
Download or read book Persecution and Pluralism written by Richard Bonney and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With one exception, the papers collected here were first presented at a conference sponsored by the British Academy held at Newbold College, Berkshire, in 1999. This volume provides a historical perspective to the emerging literature on pluralism. A range of experts examine how Calvinists in early modern France, England, Hungary and the Netherlands related to members of other faith communities and to society in general. The essays explore the importance of Calvinists' separateness and potent sense of identity. To what extent did this enable them to survive persecution? Did it at times actually induce repression? Where Calvinists held political power, why did they often turn from persecuted into persecutors? How did they relate to (Ana)Baptists, Quakers and Catholics, for example? The conventional wisdom that toleration (and, in consequence, pluralism) resulted from a waning in religious zeal is queried and alternative explanations considered. Finally, the concept of 'pluralism' itself is investigated.

Book excerpt: The 1710s were tumultuous times in English political history as the last Stuart gave way to the first Hanoverian. It was not a totally smooth transition. This new political reality occasioned a reassessment of political fortunes and allegiances. In this context, the Dissenters hoped for greater recognition and status, whilst still feeling vulnerable. They wanted to be seen as good citizens. As survivors of the era of persecution grew older and died, many of the new generation of ministers had received a better education in the academies, although there was a difference in the three traditions - Presbyterian, Independent, and Baptists both Arminian and Calvinistic. The Salters' Hall debates were held in this climate. To some the debates were about freedom of conscience, to others doctrinal orthodoxy, and still others sought to parry a threat to Dissenters throwing off the reputation of being political and religious radicals. New theological thinking was set against old truths. By pressing people into taking sides, the debates would prefigure the differing trajectories of the three traditions that would contribute by the end of the century to the growing self-awareness of the distinctiveness of denomination. Using contemporary tracts and subsequent reflection, this volume rehearses the narrative of the events from the theological dispute in Exeter to the arguments in London. It aims to offer a wide-ranging analysis into the motivations and stances of the main participants and so uncover what was thought to be at stake. It also seeks to point beyond the bad-tempered and chaotic debates to see how the episode was viewed by contemporary readers.

Download or read book John Locke and the Eighteenth Century Divines written by Alan P.F. Sell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Where Christian apologetics are concerned, is Locke to be endorsed, repaired, modified, or forsaken?' The diverse answers given to this question by the eighteenth-century divines form the complex subject of this book, which offers the first detailed account of his influence upon the religious thinkers of the eighteenth century. The work is based upon a thorough search of relevant materials, many of them scarce and widely dispersed. But the question is still relevant three centuries after Locke's death, and Professor Sell's objective in this volume is not only historical. From this study of the reception of Locke by the divines there emerge pressing questions about method, reason, faith, revelation, and authority which need to be addressed by those who would attempt Christian apologetics as Christianity's third millennium approaches. Although this book stands in its own right, it can also be read as a companion volume to the author's Philosophical Idealism and Christian Belief (University of Wales Press, 1995). Together, the two books represent soundings taken in important Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment intellectual traditions. The question whether an apologetic method may be found which avoids the pitfalls exposed both by the examination of Locke and the idealists, and which circumvents latter-day embargoes upon Christian apologetics, will be addressed in a third and final volume.
