This book provides an investigation into the role of theological
arguments in interpreting astronomical phenomena in the sixteenth
century.Beginning with an exploration of how the Reformers
conceived the relationship between natural and moral philosophy,
that is, physics and ethics, the author then investigates the
relationship between natural law and the order of nature in the
thought of Philip Melanchthon.These articles set the scene for a
discussion of the role of theological arguments, and in particular
understandings of God's Providence, in the interpretation of
astronomical phenomena in the late sixteenth century. A similar
interaction between theological, astronomical and political
arguments shaped Michael Maestlin's objections to the Gregorian
calendar reform. Johannes Kepler's arguments for the authority of
his astronomical theories show a tacit awareness that novelty was
to be equated with heresy also draw on theological motifs. The
strong parallel between his use of the theory of accommodation and
his understanding of hypothesis suggest that questions of theology
and questions of proof were closely related in his mind.A final
chapter considers critically Sachiko Kusukawa's thesis that
Melanchthon established "a Lutheran natural philosophy".

Since the apostolic age, Christian churches have seen a constant
dialectic between inspiration and institution: how the ungoverned
spontaneity of Spirit-led religion negotiates its way through laws,
structures and communities. If institutional frameworks are absent
or insufficient, new, creative and dynamic expressions of
Christianity can disappear or collapse into disorder almost as
quickly as they have flared up. If those frameworks are excessively
rigid or punitive, they can often quench the spirit of any new
movements. This volume explores the interplay between inspirational
movements and institutional structures throughout Christianity's
history, examining how the paradox of inspiration and institution
has been negotiated from the ancient world to the modern era,
tracing how different Christian movements have striven to hold
these two vital aspects of their faith together, often finding
creative or unexpected ways to institutionalize inspiration or to
breathe new life into their institutions.
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, this volume reflects on the
way that the Church, from the earliest times, has cared for the
sick and for the physical and spiritual health of society.
Anointing and praying for the sick have always been combined with
medical care. Religious foundations such as leper hospitals cared
for the diseased but also isolated them to protect the health of
society. The institutionalization of the Church's care for the sick
led to the foundation of hospitals and medical schools. Many of the
articles focus on the Church's response to sickness, especially
pandemics. Others explore the connection between the Church and the
medical profession, the clerical experience of sickness, and the
ways that sickness has served as a metaphor for understanding the
Church and its place in the world.
This volume brings together the work of a wide range of scholars to
explore the long and complex history of the relationships between
churches and education. Christianity has always been involved in
education, from the very earliest teaching of those about to be
baptised, to present-day churches' involvement in schools and
higher education. Christianity has a core theological concern for
teaching, discipleship and formation, but the dissemination of
Christian ideas and positions has not necessarily been an
explicitly didactic process. Educational projects have served not
only to support but also to question and even reconfigure
particular versions of the Christian message, and the recipients of
education have also both received and subverted the teaching
offered. Under the editorship of Morwenna Ludlow, this volume
explores the ways in which churches have sought to educate,
catechise and instruct the clergy and laity, adults and children,
men and women, boys and girls.
'The Church and Empire', the theme of Studies in Church History,
54, reflects the reality that from its beginnings, the Christian
Church has had close, often symbiotic, relationships with empires
and imperial power. Initially the Church engaged with the Roman
Empire, subsequently in Europe with the Carolingian, Anglo-Norman,
Genoese, Venetian and Holy Roman Empires, and later - through the
Church's global expansion with European empires in the Americas,
Africa and Asia - the Spanish, Dutch, French and British empires,
and the imperial structures it encountered there. Bringing together
the work of twenty-four historians, this volume explores the
relations of churches and empires, and Christian conceptions of
empire, in the ancient, medieval, early modern and modern periods,
as well as the role of empire in the global expansion of
Christianity.
Selection of the best outcome measures is a crucial step in
psychiatric research. There are excellent instruments available for
most areas of interest and researchers are often faced with a
confusing choice. Getting it right will save you time and money,
affect the validity and comparability of your results and,
ultimately, improve the impact of your publications. This booklet,
extracted from the third edition of Research Methods in Psychiatry
and with a new foreword and introduction, will help guide you
through the crucial process of selecting the rating scales to use
in your research. Crucially, each scale is listed with its citation
rate as a guide to its popularity among the research community and
the potential comparability of results.
Studies in Church History 59 addresses the historical development
of life events to which the churches have responded with specific
rites and ceremonies. The volume contributes to current discussion
in life cycle history and the ongoing debate about 'rites of
passage,' both ecclesiastical and secular. The major life cycle
events, such as birth, marriage and death, are considered; so too
are the churching or 'purification' of women after childbirth,
confirmation and first communion, and ordination, as well as less
widespread rites of passage, such as royal anointing and the
renunciation of wealth. The twenty-two papers span Christian
history and include contributions from Frances Knight, Thomas
O'Loughlin, Elisabeth van Houts and Alexandra Walsham. Taken
together, the articles offer clear evidence of the continuing
potency of ecclesiastical rites of passage, as well as of their
ability to be refashioned for the needs of successive generations
of believers.
Provides for a selection of texts, together with scholarly
introductions, from one of the world's great private libraries,
covering a period from Elizabeth I to the Church's involvement in
homosexual law reform. This volume of the Church of England Record
Society, published in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the
foundation of Lambeth Palace Library, is a tribute to the value of
one of the world's great private libraries to the scholarly
community and its importance for the history of the Church of
England in particular. Thirteen historians, who have made
considerable use of the Library in their research, have selected
texts which together offer an illustration of the remarkable
resources preserved by the Library for the period from the
Reformation to the late twentieth century. A number of the
contributions draw on the papers of the archbishops of Canterbury
and bishops of London,which are among the most frequently used
collections. Others come from the main manuscript sequence,
including both materials originally deposited by Archbishop
Sancroft and a manuscript published with the help of the Friends of
Lambeth Palace Library in 2007. Another makes use of the riches to
the papers of the Lambeth Conferences. Each text is accompanied by
a substantial introduction, discussing its context and
significance, and a full scholarly apparatus. The themes covered in
the volume range from the famous dispute between Archbishop Grindal
and Queen Elizabeth I, through the administration of the Church by
Archbishop Laud and Archbishop Davidson's visit to the Western
Frontduring World War I, to involvement of the Church in homosexual
law reform.
This volume explores the legal issues and legal consequences
underlying relations between secular and religious authorities in
the context of the Christian Church, from its earliest emergence
within Roman Palestine as a persecuted minority sect through the
period when it became legally recognized within the Roman empire,
its many institutional manifestations in the East and West
throughout the Middle Ages, the reconfigurations associated with
the Reformation and Catholic/Counter-Reformations, the legal and
constitutional complications, and the variable consequences of
so-called secularization thereafter. The engagement of secular and
religious authorities with the law and the question of what the law
actually comprised (Roman law, canon law, national laws, state and
royal edicts) are addressed. Bringing together the work of a wide
range of scholars, this volume deepens our understanding of
interactions between the churches and the legal systems in which
they existed in the past and continue to exist now.
The Town of Methuen Massachusetts in nineteen hundred and three:

celebration. An up-to-date booklet, for the visitor, the resident,
and for transmission to show something of Methuen, one of the most
attractive suburban towns of the Old Bay State.
This volume brings together scholars to explore the challenges of
translating Christianity. Christianity has been the impulse behind
the creation of more dictionaries and grammars of the world's
languages than any other force in history. More people pray and
worship in more languages in Christianity than in any other
religion. It is a religion without a revealed language; a faith
characterized by 'the triumph of its translatability'. Christianity
is also a translated religion in a very different sense. Many of
its ritual practices have been predicated on the translation of
material objects, such as relics. Their movement in time and space
reveals shifting lines of power and influence in illuminating ways.
Translation can be understood not only linguistically and
physically but also in ecclesiastical and metaphorical terms, for
instance, in the handing on of authority from one place or person
to another, or the appropriation of rituals in different contexts.
