Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dissertation on Oaths "An oath," says Cruden, "is a solemn action, whereby we call upon God, the searcher of hearts, to witness the truth of what we affirm for the ending of strifes and controversies." Concordance, word Oath. "An oath," says Milton, "is that whereby we call God to witness the truth of what we say, with a curse upon ourselves, either implied or expressed, should it prove false." Christian Doctrine, p. 579. "Whatever be the form of an oath," says Paley, "the signification is the same: it is the calling of God to witness, that is, to take notice of what we say, and invoking his vengeance or renouncing his favour in case what we say be false, or what we promise be not performed." Moral and Political Philosophy, chap. 16. It is laid down by legal authorities that, "what is universally understood by an oath, is, that the person who takes it imprecates the vengeance of God upon him, if the oath he takes is false." Vide Atkyn's Chancery Reports, vol. 1, p. 19. Without further inquiry, it must be obvious that there are very serious objections to the customary use of oaths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation discusses the meaning of the prohibition of oaths in Matthew 5:33-37. In particular, this work examines why Matthew's Gospel presents the practice of oath-taking as a particularly reprehensible offense rivaling revenge, adultery, and murder. Matthew's view is especially complicated when one considers the ubiquity of oaths in antiquity, as they were used to conclude virtually any social, political, or business contract. Overall, the dissertation explores both the social disadvantages as well as the philosophical benefits that could result from the avoidance of oaths in antiquity. This work also focuses on the enlightening parallels found in the works of the moral philosophers who also encouraged their audiences to refrain from oath-taking. While these authors are not attacking the oath itself, they are arguing against the misuse or misapplication of oaths, which inevitably leads to dishonesty and perjury. Philosophers also argue that oaths put unnatural constraints on humans, limiting one's ability to live the philosophical lifestyle. Thus, these authors were calling for moderation in oath-taking so that the individual is not distracted away from the pursuit of philosophy or moral progress. Drawing on the antecedent literature it appears that Matthew did not create the anti-oath polemic on his own. Rather, his text is also a part of this widespread philosophical movement that sought to eliminate the swearing of oaths and promote "mental asceticism." Although there are similarities between Matthew and he antecedent texts, the Matthean polemic is unique because of the completeness of the prohibition and its deep integration within the Gospel as a whole. As such, the reader can gain a better understanding of Matthew's overall program by uncovering the purpose behind the author's extraordinary views on swearing. Matthew's anti-oath polemic functions as a highly charged piece of political rhetoric directed against his opponents, highlighting their misuse of oaths as a clear demonstration of their hypocrisy and immoderate nature. Alternatively, much like the moral philosophers before him, Matthew's text also indicates that avoiding oaths contributes to the development of an appropriate mental disposition, allowing the individual to remain focused and unfettered.
