Security Paradigms and Social Movements
Authors: Ogawa Akihiro 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In 2014, Japan’s cabinet approved a significant change to national security policy. Previously barred from using military force, except in cases of self-defence, a constitutional reinterpretation by the cabinet allowed “collective self-defence”—using force to defend itself and its allies. The decision was controversial, considering post-war pacifism is firmly entrenched in Japanese national identity. I analyse how national security has been portrayed in the policymaking process for reinterpreting the Constitution. Meanwhile, since the early 2010s, Japanese society has been rocked by demonstrations opposing this. I explore the rise of a new youth activist movement in response to the proposed legislation. In particular, I argue that new ideologies and strategies appealed to young people in the organising of various protests, focusing on how they interpret the national security discourse and locating these social movements in Japanese post-war peace activism.
Reflection on Political Representation
Authors: Kusche Isabel 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This article compares how Members of Parliament in the United Kingdom and Ireland reflect on constituency service as an aspect of political representation. It differs from existing research on the constituency role of mps in two regards. First, it approaches the question from a sociological viewpoint that emphasizes the process character of role-taking and its need for validation by others. Second, instead of relying on interviews and surveys it analyses how mps refer to aspects of constituency work in parliamentary debate. This choice of empirical material opens up a long-term view on reflections of constituency service that either validate or question understandings of the constituency role. Although mps in both countries are heavily engaged in constituency work, the analysis reveals important differences in this regard, with Irish mps recurrently criticizing their own role in the constituency, while British mps unequivocally see it in a positive light.
Rituals, Emotional Entrainment and National Identification
Authors: von Scheve Christian , Ismer Sven , Kozłowska Marta , Solms-Baruth Carolina 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Although the effects of nationalized mega-events on national identification have been theorized and examined by a number of studies, little is known about the specific mechanisms that bring about changes in people’s attitudes towards their country. The authors hypothesize that during nationwide rituals, in particular sports mega-events, participants experience collective emotional entrainment in the context of national symbols and practices that in turn increases their identification with their nation. The authors present results of a naturalistic quasi-experimental study around the 2012 uefa European Football Championship with participants from Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland. Using a multidimensional measurement of national identification, the authors show that the experience of emotional entrainment is associated with changes in symbolic, civic, and solidary facets of identification in ways specific to the different national contexts.
Still Influential: The Protestant Emphasis on Schooling
Authors: Feldmann Horst 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
From its beginning 500 years ago, Protestantism has been advocating and actively pursuing the expansion of schooling, including the schooling of girls. In many countries, it has thus helped to create a cultural heritage that puts a high value on education and schooling. This paper provides evidence that Protestantism’s historical legacy has an enduring effect. Using data on 147 countries, it finds that countries with larger Protestant population shares in 1900 had higher secondary school enrollment rates over 1975-2010, including among girls. The magnitude of the effect is small though. Using Protestant population shares over 1975-2010, the paper also shows that Protestantism’s influence on schooling has diminished and that contemporary Protestantism, in contrast to historical Protestantism, does not affect schooling. The regression analysis accounts for numerous other determinants of schooling.
Magie et politique : événements historiques et pensée politique dans le Šams al-maʿārif attribué à al-Būnī (mort en 622/1225)
Authors: Coulon Jean-Charles 
Published: June 2019

Résumé
À la fin de l’époque médiévale, les cercles du pouvoir se sont beaucoup intéressés aux sciences occultes. Que l’on étudie les civilisations chrétienne ou islamique, on constate que des gouverneurs, leurs conseillers ou leurs agents faisaient la promotion de l’astrologie, de l’alchimie, de la magie, etc. À titre d’exemple, nous trouvons des copies de l’ouvrage de magie le plus important de l’Islam médiéval, le Šams al-maʿārif wa-laṭāʾif al-ʿawārif, avec des dédicaces pour des personnalités de premier plan. Les origines de ce traité demeurent obscures, d’où la paucité des recherches sur son contexte historique. Attribué à Abū l-ʿAbbās al-Būnī, un soufi maghrébin que l’on suppose mort en 622/1225, il pourrait plutôt avoir été écrit à la fin du viie/xiiie siècle ou dans la première moitié du viiie/xive siècle, à l’époque mamelouke. La tombe d’al-Būnī était l’objet de visites en tant que lieu de pèlerinage soufi et le Šams al-maʿārif est réputé contenir les secrets de ce šayḫ, connu comme étant « celui dont les prières sont exaucées » (muǧāb al-daʿawāt). Notre propos ici est d’analyser ces éléments du Šams al-maʿārif qui contiennent une dimension historique ou politique afin de mettre en évidence des perspectives politiques et l’influence de la pensée politique sur cet ouvrage. Certains éléments peuvent nous informer sur le contexte historique de l’écriture de ce livre.
The Islamic Treatises against Imitation (Tašabbuh): A Bibliographical History
Authors: Patel Youshaa 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This bibliographical essay documents for the first time the treatises written on the Sunni Islamic doctrine of tašabbuh—the reprehensible imitation of others, especially non-Muslims. Since the formative period of Islam, tašabbuh has played an important role in shaping both Islamic orthodoxy and Muslim inter-religious relations. But due to a focus on the doctrine’s historical origins, existing scholarship has yet to identify the Islamic literary genre that I call “the treatises against imitation,” which was a post-formative development. To fill this scholarly lacuna, this study traces the genre’s historical evolution by creating an archive of available treatises against imitation, pre-modern and modern. Chronologically arranged and periodized, the bibliographical entries include descriptive summaries of each treatise, with references to published and/or manuscript editions and existing scholarship on the text and its author.
Dialogue and Toleration in Juan Luis Vives’s De Veritate Fidei Christianae: Vives on Muhammad and Islam
Authors: Havu Kaarlo Johannes 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The article argues that Juan Luis Vives’s (1492/1493–1540) conceptualization of Islam in De veritate fidei Christianae can be placed inside the Erasmian paradigm of toleration of error. De veritate presents a fictional dialogue between a Christian and a Muslim in which the flaws of Islam are systematically traced back to the unethical nature of Muhammad. In describing the initial failure of Muhammad to grasp universal law, Vives equates the Muslim prophet with a failed legislator or a tyrant. Vives’s strategy does not save Islam but it portrays the Muslim interlocutor as a victim of an error. In the dialogue the Muslim appears as a man of good judgment, he is adopted into the sphere of dialogue but only in order to overcome his error.
On the Execution of Investment Arbitral Awards in Recent Case Law
Authors: Sardu Alessandra 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThis article examines the peculiarities and points of criticism of the execution of investment arbitral awards. It specifically addresses the potential obstacles to the execution of investment arbitral awards based on recent case law. First, the article focuses on the differences existing between the phases of enforcement and execution of investment arbitral awards, with special regard to the procedural frameworks of investment arbitration that are most commonly utilized. Secondly, the issue of the interrelation between these two phases is addressed in the light of national case law, given that enforcement of an arbitral award has a preliminary function for the purpose of its actual execution, in addition to representing an obstacle to the latter. Before focusing on the legal defenses to forcible execution that can undermine the entire efficacy of an arbitral award, the article explores those defenses raised to avoid an award’s enforcement.

Data protection rules applies to biobanks’ activities to the extent that they fall under the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation, which is already susceptible to raising some difficult issues to solve. If subjected to it, biobanks’ activities will have to comply with the applicable substantive rules governing data processing, data subject’s rights, obligations of data controller and processor, without omitting the specific authorities and mechanisms ensuring data protection effectiveness.
Differentiated Human Rights of Migrant Spouses Based on Nationalities in Taiwan
Authors: Chien Te-Yuan 
Published: June 2019

In Taiwan, there were 530,512 migrant spouses in 2017 and, among them, 337,838 (about 63.7 per cent) came from China. However, Chinese spouses have to spend two years more than other foreign spouses to receive residency. Due to the political complexities between China and Taiwan, this differentiated treatment is a controversial issue. Nevertheless, some advocates have urged legislators to propose amendments, whereas others support raising the issue in the Constitutional Court.This article contends that the period it takes for Chinese and other foreign spouses to receive residency should be equal. Furthermore, the article suggests that it is more suitable for the legislative branch to use its plenary power in dealing with the political issues than the judicial branch, similar to how the United States (us) resolved disputes after the enactment of the Chinese-Exclusion Act 130 years ago.This article begins with the political and legal background to the differentiated treatment issue in Taiwan. The second part begins with the bills in Congress to eliminate the difference and outlines the interpretation of the Constitutional Court in Taiwan regarding the Chinese issues. The third part discusses the similar discriminatory treatment of the Chinese in the us after the Chinese-Exclusive Act in 1882 and how the Supreme Court dealt with those disputes. Finally, considering international treaties and the sensitivity of the political issues, this article suggests, similar to the us approach, introduction of the doctrine of plenary congressional power and the political question doctrine to resolve the disputes.
In Two Minds? African Experience and Preferment in umca and the Journey to Independence in Tanganyika
Authors: Mndolwa Maimbo W. , King Fergus J. 
Published: June 2019

This paper examines the role the Universities’ Mission to Central Africa (umca) played in the move towards independence in Tanganyika. It sees a paradox at the heart of the Society’s work and mission in its apparent affirmation of African experience but its seeming failure to promote African leadership. However, the lack of ecclesiastical preferment, due in part to circumstances beyond the control of the Society, could not quench its support for the value of African experience. Indeed, Christians formed in the umca tradition would go on to take key roles in government before and after independence, and eventually help to build a national church, the Church of the Province of Tanganyika (now the Anglican Church of Tanzania), which would embrace the African philosophy of Ujamaa (Unity) over narrow Anglo-Catholicism.
本篇文章检验 ‘中非大学宣教’ (umca) 在推动坦噶尼克独立过程中的角色。 本文发现此机构的工作与宣教核心中的矛盾，就是它一方面肯定非洲人的经验，另一方面它的失败却好像在于没能提拔非洲领袖。教会里的升迁， 一部分原因是超出了机构的控制范围。但是，这也不能熄灭机构对非洲经验价值的支持。的确， 从 umca 传统里出来的基督徒，独立前后在政府部门担当重职，而且最终帮助建立了一个本地教会，即坦噶尼克省教会（现为坦桑尼亚圣公会）。它包容了Ujamaa (合一) 的非洲哲学，而不是狭隘的圣公会高派教。
Este artículo examina el papel que la Misión de las Universidades al África Central (umca) jugó en el movimiento hacia la independencia de Tanganica. Puntualiza la paradoja existente entre el centro del trabajo y la misión de la Sociedad en su aparente afirmación de la experiencia africana, y lo que parece ser un fracaso en la promoción de líderes africanos. Sin embargo, la falta de puestos eclesiásticos, debido en parte a circunstancias fuera de su control, no apagó su apoyo a la experiencia africana. De hecho, los cristianos formados en la tradición umca tendrían papeles clave en el gobierno, antes y después de la independencia. Finalmente, ayudarían a la formación de una iglesia nacional, la Iglesia de la provincia de Tanganica (ahora la Iglesia Anglicana de Tanzania), que adoptaría la filosofía africana de la Ujamaa (Unidad) en lugar de un anglo-catolicismo con mentalidad estrecha.

“Life because of Righteousness”
Authors: Starling David 
Published: June 2019

This paper commences with an outline of the vision of the missio Dei that Paul offers to his readers in Rome, taking as a starting point the letter’s thesis statement in 1:16–17. The remainder of the paper traces the key pneumatological themes of the letter and orients them in relation to this overarching vision. The picture that emerges is one that highlights the close connectedness between the Spirit’s life-giving work and the saving righteousness manifested in Christ, proclaimed in the gospel, and at work within the church. Life without righteousness and righteousness without life are both, for Paul, equally unthinkable.
本文以保罗给他在罗马的读者提出的 missio Dei 异象的大纲为开始，用一章十六至十七节的论证作为起点，并在余下部分追溯此书信的关于圣灵论的课题，将其放在此书总括的异象之下。这样逐步出现的图画，即是赐生命的圣灵的工作与在耶稣基督里彰显的救赎的义之间紧密的联结，这救赎的义就是在福音里宣讲并在教会里运行工作的。对于保罗来说，没有义的生命和没有生命的义是同样不可思议的。
Este artículo comienza con un resumen de la visión de Missio Dei que Pablo ofrece a sus lectores en Roma, tomando como punto de partida la declaración de la tesis de Romanos 1: 16–17. El resto del artículo traza los temas pneumatológicos clave de la carta y los orienta en relación a esta visión global.
La imagen que surge es una que pone de relieve la estrecha conexión entre el trabajo vivificante del Espíritu y la justicia salvífica manifestada en Cristo, proclamada en el Evangelio, y activa en la iglesia. Una vida sin rectitud y una justicia sin vida son, para Pablo, igualmente inconcenbibles.

Apostolic Evangelism in the Postcolony
Authors: Yong Amos 
Published: June 2019

What does evangelism, the proclamation of the Christian gospel, look or sound like in a postcolonial era, a time in which there is a reluctance to assert a metanarrative that marginalizes the many voices of the pluralistic public sphere? Surprisingly, perhaps like how it may have originally gone forth in the first century via the apostolic followers of Jesus the Messiah. This essay suggests a re-reading of Luke-Acts, via what might be called a Pentecostal hermeneutic, one informed by foregrounding the Day of Pentecost narrative of the Spirit poured out on all flesh, in order to sketch an apostolic theology of evangelistic praxis for the contemporary post-colony.
一个后殖民的时代，是不愿对在多元的公共领域排斥多种声音的元叙事作出什么断言的。在这样的时代，宣教或者基督教福音的宣讲会是怎样的呢？令人惊讶的是，它可能就像早期透过弥赛亚耶稣的使徒追随者所传讲的那样。本文建议重读路加福音和使徒行传，或称为五旬宗式的阐释学，就是以圣灵浇灌所有凡有血气的五旬节的事件为前提，勾画出一个当代后殖民的宣教实践的使徒神学。
¿Cómo se ve o cómo suena el evangelismo y la proclamación del evangelio cristiano en una época postcolonial; una época en el que hay renuencia a afirmar una metanarrativa que marginaliza las muchas voces de una esfera pública pluralista? Quizás sea sorprendente analizar cómo pudo haberse originado en el primer siglo con los seguidores apostólicos de Jesús el Mesías. Este ensayo sugiere una relectura de Lucas y de Hechos de los apóstoles, utilizando lo que se podría llamar una hermenéutica pentecostal que pone en primer plano la narrativa del Espíritu derramado sobre toda carne en el Día de Pentecostés para esbozar una teología apostólica de la praxis evangelística para la época actual post-colonial.

Indian Christians from the Depressed Castes Background and Challenges to Their Christian Identity
Authors: Varikoti-Jetty Santha K. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This article discusses Indian Christians and the denial of justice in the form of government reservations and privileges. The birth of a new social consciousness among the depressed castes after their Christian conversion was attributed to the growth of education and occupational mobility where certain basic ideas of equality and upward social mobility worked in a progressive direction. However, upon achieving independence from foreign rule, and in subsequent political calculations, the welfare of Indian Christians has been hindered as they were not extended the same privileges that are enjoyed by depressed caste people from non-Christian faiths (Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist). Therefore, this article details the denial of social justice to Indian Christians from Dalit backgrounds and calls for a redefinition of the concept of social justice to remove all inequalities and provide equal opportunities for all citizens irrespective of which religion that they choose to follow.
Strengthening the Identity of Converts from Islam in the Face of Verbal Assaults: A Study with the Background of Turkish Society
Authors: Häde Wolfgang 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The study focusses on converts from Islam to the Christian faith in Turkey. Converts are confronted with special challenges. Based on Islamic theology and Turkish nationalism most Turks cannot think of positive reasons to choose Christianity. So verbal assaults with social consequences like ostracism, prejudice, suspicion, and very low esteem are very common. The First Letter of Peter provides advice for strengthening new Christians by defining their identity as chosen und loved people of God.
Personal caring for converts from Islam is crucial to provide a new “home” in assuring them of their new identity. They have to learn to evaluate accusations honestly, and from a faith-based position, and to integrate their new faith with their old environment. In the context of modern Turkey a fresh look at history can be meaningful: There were Turkish Christians before Islam, and there are still Christian Turkish people today. More important however is a genuine spiritual approach that understands verbal assaults within the framework of God’s history with his people. Converts should find their identity “in Christ”. At the same time, being in Christ must become practical in finding a new family in the local church and seeing themselves as part of the worldwide multinational body of Christ.
Worldviews in Myanmar: A Missiological Perspective
Authors: Curtis Steve 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Each of the many ethnic groups in Myanmar has its own unique worldview; however, these are all principally related, in some respects, to the three primary worldviews in Myanmar, as informed by the culture historically: animism, Buddhism, and, to a lesser extent, Hinduism.
For the purposes of this article, I am defining “worldview” as:

A culturally-informed, yet personal, system of thought, wherein are held existential beliefs, such as regards the existence or non-existence of a god or gods; evaluative beliefs, such as regards proper and improper expressions of social intercourse; and prescriptive beliefs, such as regards value and purpose.

In light of this definition, the worldviews in Myanmar will be explored as to their existential, evaluative, and prescriptive beliefs, with a summary statement, addressing the missiological challenges, which those worldviews present, in particular, to Christian unity.
Evangelism Through Happiness? A Case Study in Innovative “Pre-Evangelism” with Contemporary uk “Post-Christians”
Authors: Rooms Nigel 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The nature of evangelism in “post-Christian” societies, especially in the secularizing west is a problematized and contested area. A field research case study is presented by the author who was also the facilitator of an innovative pre-evangelism resource entitled The Happiness Lab which was the subject of the research. A small group of “post-Christians” in the United Kingdom was gathered to pilot the course which taught practices associated with increasing happiness from the positive psychology movement. Survey data, participant observation and semi-structured interviews create triangulated data which is analyzed to show the effectiveness of the course in increasing in small ways the happiness levels of the participants. The question of how the course is defined and offered ethically as pre-evangelism is examined. Critical reflection on the data is presented utilizing secularization and post-secular theory alongside theological categories such as imago Dei, incarnation and conversion. “Anticipatory evangelism” is suggested as an alternative nomenclature.1
Explaining Conception to Women?
Authors: Andreeva Anna 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Recent findings by Japanese and Western scholars specializing in Buddhism have cast light on a variety of theories of conception and gestation that were known within the religious and cultural milieu of medieval Japan. In the early fourteenth century, these ideas about the origins of life and the human body were incorporated not only into the esoteric Buddhist rituals and theological treatises that shaped the religious landscape of medieval Japan, but also into medico-religious writings focusing on women’s health. This article discusses the theories of conception and gestation seen in the Encyclopedia of Childbirth (Sanshō ruijūshō 産生類聚抄, ca. 1318), a hand-written manuscript preserved at Kanazawa Bunko, one of Japan’s surviving medieval temple archives. This manuscript is a rare source on women’s health from medieval Japan, which describes the issues of conception, infertility, and childbirth from the Buddhist and medical perspective. It explains conception through the ideas found in certain Chinese translations of Indian Buddhist treatises such as the Daodijing 道地経 (one of the extant translations of the Yogācārabhūmi) and Jushe lun 俱舎論 (Skt. Abhidharmakośa bhāṣya, Jpn. Kusharon), Buddhist scriptures, as well as Japanese Buddhist and medical treatises, including a collection attributed to the Tendai monk Annen 安然 (841–889?) and Tanba Yasuyori’s 丹波康頼 (912–995) Essentials of Medicine (Ishinpō 醫心方, ca. 984).
Spying in God’s House
Authors: Skiles William S. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThis article examines the reports of the Gestapo and SD regarding pastors’ criticisms of the Nazi state and its ideology from the authority of the pulpit. My research reveals a degree of public opposition to the regime within the walls of the German churches, especially in terms of Nazi racial ideology and the persecution of Jews. While pastors did not incite resistance to the Nazi regime or conspire to overthrow its leadership, they at times sought to undermine the legitimacy of Nazi claims to truth. The sermons reveal concern among pastors that National Socialism and Christianity are at odds, or even mutually exclusive believe systems. Furthermore, the evidence indicates that pastors were often drawn into the cross-hairs of the Nazi secret police by asserting that Christianity must be the standard and measure of Nazi racial truth claims.
