Prologue
Authors: Balmer Randall 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
On the evening of May 31, 1972, at the graduation exercises of Hoover High School in Des Moines, Iowa, my father rose from his chair on the dais and strode purposefully to the lectern to deliver the invocation. I remember holding my breath, not at all certain what would follow. My father, an evangelical minister, had never prayed from a prepared text in his life. In the best Puritan tradition, he believed that prayer should be a spontaneous, unrehearsed conversation with God. But my father’s prayers, as I knew from long experience, could also be admonitory, addressed equally to his auditors as well as to the Almighty: “Lord, I pray most of all that my children will tum from their sins and embrace you as Savior, that they might live their lives uprightly before you.”
By the Numbers
Authors: Balmer Randall 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The numbers are staggering. In a very real sense Orlando, Florida, can reckon 1965 as the line of demarcation in its history. Before that, it was a pleasant, almost sleepy town in central Florida, but Walt Disney quietly began assembling parcels of swampland into a huge tract south of the city. The opening of Walt Disney World on October 1, 1971, quickly transformed Orlando into the theme park capital of the world, with such attractions as Epcot Center, Disney-MGM Studios, Universal Studios, Sea World, and Gatorland Zoo. In 1989, approximately thirteen million pilgrims found their way to Orlando, a town that boasts more motel rooms, nearly eighty thousand, than any other city in the United States.
“Creek Bank” Theology
Authors: Balmer Randall 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Just a few miles away the inner city of Memphis struggles to survive, and the contortions of that struggle are all too obvious. Desegregration prompted a white flight to the suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s, leaving unemployment and a patchwork of decaying neighborhoods. Closer to the center city, Memphis succumbed to the Nixonian theory of urban renewal: raze everything in sight and start over. Memphis followed the first part of that formula but apparently lost interest in the second, and the result is a sea of vast, open spaces interrupted occasionally by islands of buildings. Even the legendary Beale Street, birthplace of the blues, has an unreal feeling of Disneyland about it, lost among the urban fields and utterly out of context.
Quantum Interference Effects in Transport Properties, the Landauer Formulation and Applications
Authors: Imry Yoseph 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
GENERALITIES, REMARKS ON THE KUBO CONDUCTIVITY FOR FINITE SYSTEMS
The transport properties of mesoscopic systems display a wealth of interesting phenomena that are quite novel in respect to the usual macroscopic systems. Among these one can mention the nonadditivity of series resistances and parallel conductances, the periodic sample-specific oscillations (Gefen et al. 1984a,b, Webb et al. 1985a,b) in the magnetoresistance of a ring (i.e., two parallel resistors) as a function of the Aharonov-Bohm flux through its opening, and the analogous aperiodic conductance fluctuations (Blonder 1984, Umbach et al. 1984, Altshuler 1985, Lee and Stone 1985, Licini et al. 1985a, Stone 1985, Skocpol et al. 1986), in a fine singly-connected wire. These fluctuations have interesting universal aspects. As in the previous chapters, there is an important distinction here between the effects of elastic and inelastic scattering. Also, since the system is so small, its measured resistance may depend on the existence, type, and structure of contacts made onto it. Various other effects, familiar to varying extents from waveguiding systems, may also occur. For example, an open-ended branch can greatly change the resistance of the system (Gefen et al. 1984a,b); the resistance may be nonlocal in the sense that what is measured between a given pair of points may depend on things connected further away (Anderson et al. 1980, Engquist and Anderson 1981). Contact and spreading resistances, which are not always negligible, may play a role (Imry 1986b, see section 2).
Mesoscopics with Superconductivity
Authors: Imry Yoseph 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
1. INTRODUCTION
Much of what we have considered in mesoscopics has had to do with phasecoherent effects of normal electrons. Each electron retains phase coherence over the length L¢ and different electrons in the energy band of width kBT around the Fermi energy display a similar interference pattern over the length Lr. The superconducting state is characterized by having a macroscopic wavefunction, retaining its coherence ideally over arbitrarily large lengths. It is of great interest to enquire how these two (normal and super) coherence effects couple with each other. This is not an obvious issue, since in the normal conductor the active charge carrier is a single electron or a hole, while in the superconductor the coherence is of the wavefunction of the condensed Cooper pairs. It is known, however, that superconductivity can penetrate into a normal metal over a length-scale of Lr (which has been referred to in this context as “the normal metal coherence length, fN”1). This is the well-known proximity effect (e.g., Deutscher and de Gennes 1969).2 Two superconductors can quite generally be correlated with each other and exchange a supercurrent through a normal metal barrier which can be Lr (or L¢, see section 5) long.
Introduction
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
James Edward Lesslie Newbigin was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne on December 8, 1909, to Annie Ellen née Affleck, wife of Edward Richmond Newbigin, shipping merchant. According to Lesslie’s autobiography, his earliest memories were almost all happy ones. His mother, a gentle person and an exquisite pianist, loved her children with a strength and constancy from which Lesslie never ceased to draw life. His father, a devout and thoughtful Christian and a radical in politics, took part in family outings to moors and fells and beach, and he satisfied the children’s natural curiosity on all manner of subjects, as well as teaching Lesslie woodworking and model making. After local kindergarten and preparatory school, Lesslie went off to board at Leighton Park, the Quaker institution in Reading, Berkshire. From Bill Brown, the geography master, he learned to get to the heart of a big book so as to expound and defend its argument in debate.
The Confident Believer
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“Faith is the hand that grasps what Christ has done and makes it my own”; but first, “Christ has laid hold of me.” That expresses the intensely personal character of the faith within which Lesslie Newbigin’s own life was lived and in which all his more technical discussions must be situated. The particular formulation just quoted of what it is to be a Christian believer occurs in the book Sin and Salvation, which the bishop wrote in the 1950s for village teachers who, with little formal theological education, carried a heavy load in the pastoral care of several thousand rural congregations in the Tamil-speaking dioceses of the Church of South India. The book was begun in Tamil, and when pressures of time necessitated a shift to English composition, the author adopted a style that would lend itself to translation into the vernacular.
The Pastoral Bishop
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Lesslie Newbigin’s entire career may properly be regarded as pastoral in the broad and christological sense of the term: as he himself wrote of another great missionary to India, C. F. Andrews (1871–1940), his life “has reminded people in our day of the Good Shepherd himself.” More specifically and ecclesiastically, Newbigin served both local congregations and larger units of the Church as the ordained representative of Christ “the Bishop and Pastor of our souls” (1 Peter 2:24). In India, he first ministered pastorally as a district missionary in town and villages; and then as bishop in the largely rural diocese of Madurai and Ramnad, and later as bishop in the big city diocese of Madras when he functioned also as deputy moderator of the Church of South India, there fell to him “the care of all the churches” (2 Corinthians 12:28). In Britain, he spent most of his eighth decade as pastor of a small congregation of the United Reformed Church in the inner suburbs of Birmingham, immediately after having led the whole denomination for a year as moderator of its assembly. His theological reflections on the practice of ministry and on the ordering of the Church not only were shaped by his study of the Scriptures and the Christian Tradition but also grew out of his experience in such diverse capacities and circumstances.
The Missionary Strategist
Authors: Wainwright Geoffrey 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In September 1936 Lesslie Newbigin set sail from Liverpool to India for what proved to be the last decade of missions under the old regime. A world war later, in which soldiers from the subcontinent had fought on the side of the Allies against the Axis, India gained its independence from the British crown, on August 15, 1947. Six weeks afterward, on September 27, 1947, the Church of South India was inaugurated as a united and autonomous body resulting chiefly from the missionary labors of British Anglicans, Presbyterians, Methodists, and Congregationalists—and of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions—over the previous century and a half.
Exodus and Kingship
Authors: Dozeman Thomas B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The preexilic liturgy of the exodus is a holy war between Yahweh and Pharaoh that culminates in divine victory on the Day of Yahweh. A preexilic setting for such a liturgy is hardly innovative, since most scholars have argued for some form of a Yahwistic or JE account to the plague cycle and exodus.What is innovative is that the liturgy of the exodus described in this chapter lacks ties to the wilderness, Sinai, or conquest traditions. It is independent and thus not an episode of a larger history of salvation.
Divine Power and Presence as Themes in the Formation of the Pentateuch
Authors: Dozeman Thomas B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The perspective will change in this chapter from reading individual traditions within the Pentateuch to looking more broadly at the formation of the canonical Pentateuch as a whole. The aim in broadening the scope of study is to inquire what the organizing theme or themes of the Pentateuch might be. A quick reading of the canonical Pentateuch in conjunction with even the most recent interpretations of it suggests that the organization of Torah eludes a single solution with regard to its central theme or themes. Indeed, there are any number of successful modem interpretations that describe the organization of the Pentateuch.
Islam and Democracy
Authors: Esposito John L , Voll John O 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Religious resurgence and democratization have been two of the most significant developments of the last quarter of the twentieth century. Frequently they work together; other times they are at odds. In the muslim world, this relationship is of special importance because of the strength of the Islamic resurgence, and the intensity of muslim demands for greater popular participation in political processes Esposito and Voll use six case studies to look at the history of this relationship and the role played by new Islamic movements. At one end of the spectrum, Iran and Sudan represent two cases of militant, revolutionary Islam opposing the political system. In Algeria and Malaysia however, the new movements have been legally recognized and made part of the political process. The authors identify several important factors, such as the legality or illegality of the new Islamic movements and the degree to which they cooperate with existing rulers, as being key to understanding the success or failure of these movements. Still, the case studies prove that despite the commonalities, differing national contexts and identities give rise to differences in agenda and method. This broad spectrum of experience contains important lessons for understanding this complex and subtle relationship, and will also provide insight into the powerful forces of religion and democracy in a broader global context.

Abstract
Change at Work began as a conversation with the members of the National Planning Association’s New American Realities Committee about changes under way in the workplace. We were all interested in stories appearing in the media about how relations among employee and employer and workplace practices were changing, but, when pressed, we discovered that our evidence about what was happening was just anecdotal. And the anecdotes about change in the workplace seemed to repeat the same examples over and over-Motorola as the example of rising skill requirements and more intensive training programs, General Electric as the example of restructuring, Saturn as an example of empowered workers. We realized that we did not have a good sense about what really was happening in the typical workplace. Yet much of the policy debate, which was becoming increasingly elaborate, was based on assumptions about these changes in the workplace. Arguments like the following were common: Skill requirements were rising, the educational performance of students was falling, and education and training had to be given massive pushes in order to make up for the growing “skills gap.” Or employers were failing to introduce more effective “high-performance” work systems and needed somehow to be pushed into doing so for the national interest.
Protestantism, Voluntarism, And Personal Identity In Antebellum America
Authors: Howe Daniel Walker 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“Now That The Republic-the res publica-has been settled, it is time to look after the res privata-the private state.” So declared Henry David Thoreau in 1854. Many of his neighbors, on this much at least, agreed with the great iconoclast and undertook their own brave experiments with shaping a new personal life for themselves. In this respect, the individualism of Walden Pond may serve as a symbol for a mass movement: of innumerable quests for new identities, for new births, to reexamine past lives, to reshape human nature. Although many evangelists undertook to organize and collectivize this movement, it remained at heart voluntary and individual, a matter of personal choices.
The Declaration of Independence proclaimed that all men had an unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. In practice, Americans defined this pursuit not only in economic and political terms but also in moral and spiritual ones. The decades following the American Revolution and establishment of the Constitution witnessed an extraordinarily rich and varied experimentation by the people of the new nation with new lifestyles, faiths, and manners. Much of this seeking took religious form.
Protestants And Economic Behavior
Authors: Scott Robert Wuthnow Tracy L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“It Is Instructive To Trace ... the influence of religious ideas on economic development. It is not less important to grasp the effect of the economic arrangements accepted by an age on the opinion which it holds of the province of religion.” So wrote R. H. Tawney in his 1930 foreword to Max Weber’s Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. The half century since those words were written has witnessed a profusion of efforts to examine these reciprocal effects. The literature generated may not, as one recent review suggests, be as extensive as that concerned with, say, religion and politics, or revivals and religious movements. Yet, in another sense, it is considerably richer because virtually all these other topics also include discussions of how religion and economic conditions have intertwined. Indeed, it becomes necessary to focus on studies that specifically address questions about the impact of religion on economic behavior (rather than simply the reverse) in order to delimit the topic at all.
Protestant Success In The New American City, 1870-1920: The Anxious Secrets of Rev. Walter Laidlaw, Ph.D.
Authors: Butler Jon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Jesus wept over Jerusalem, wept because an exact knowledge of its conditions was in His mind; He weeps to-day over the conditions of our human institutions, because in His omniscience He is aware of their every detail, and the Church which is the organ to express His love to the world, must become equipped with His omniscience, so far as it can be, in order that His love may be a larger blessing.
From Missions To Mission To Beyond Missions: The Historiography of American Protestant Foreign Missions Since World War II
Authors: Robert Dana L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1964, Professor Of History of Missions at the University of Chicago R. Pierce Beaver wrote From Missions to Mission, a reflection book published by the YMCA. In his small book, this eminent American mission historian of the mid-twentieth century reviewed the early part of the century and saw a Christianity that had ridden to success on the coattails of Euro-American imperialism and prestige. Two world wars, however, had demonstrated to growing nationalist movements in the developing world that Christianity was not part of a superior culture, but was an agent of colonialism. Beaver went on to analyze the current climate for world missions-militant nationalism, urbanization, secularization, repudiation of the West, and revivals of non-Christian religions. To move forward in such a context, he said, missions must begin to cooperate among themselves and with younger nonwestern churches on behalf of Christ’s mission. Beaver saw embodied in the World Council of Churches the beginning of new approaches to mission that would stress reconciliation over competition, and peace and justice issues alongside proclamation. Missions from the west should become a common worldwide enterprise: pluralism must give way to unity.
Recent American Catholic Historiography : New Directions in Religious History
Authors: Carey Patrick 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Since At Least The late nineteenth century the major histories of American Catholicism and Protestantism have been influenced by many of the same historiographical canons and methodologies. My reflections here on the recent (post-1970) historiography of American Catholicism are governed by the convictions that historians of Catholic and Protestant traditions share similar diverse historical methods and goals, and that the subjects of their historical examinations have social and religious identities that are inextricably and historically tied together. Both convictions mean that what I say here and the questions I raise about the historiography of American Catholicism apply mutatis mutandis to the historiography of American Protestantism.
Antisemitism among Right-Wing Extremist Groups, Organizations, and Parties in Postunification Germany
Authors: Wetzel Juliane 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At the heart of the inflammatory rhetoric of far-right groups and organizations in Germany lies xenophobia, targeted mainly at foreigners (see chapter 1). In such circles, German Jews are considered “aliens” too, and antisemitism has always been a core element in right-wing extremist ideology and propaganda. In recent years, a new type of antisemitism has taken center stage as a result of opposition to current remembrance of the Holocaust past and its culmination in Auschwitz. This so-called secondary antisemitism does not rely on classic sources of prejudice arising, for example, from religious stereotypes or intergroup conflicts over equal rights, social integration, and political power such as those found in primary antisemitism. Instead, it is related to collective memories of a discredited past; thus it is causally connected with German guilt, shame, and responsibility toward Jews.
A New Conservative Revolution? Neo-Nationalism, Collective Memory, and the New Right in Germany since Unification
Authors: Neaman Elliot 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, a brief wave of optimism engulfed a large number of Western intellectuals who felt that the end of the Cold War would mean not just liberation for Eastern Europe but perhaps a new era of thinking beyond stale ideological confrontations, even leading to a realization of Immanuel Kant’s dream of universal world peace. Five years later, much of this early optimism has dissipated as ethnic wars have torn apart the Soviet Union, the Balkans, India, and a host of other countries. The breakdown of the Cold War order galvanized ultraconservative, nationalistic, and right-wing forces in the East and the West. Hans Magnus Enzensberger has recently argued, in a manner reminiscent of conservative cultural pessimism, that civil wars are the anthropological norm rather than a historical contingency that can someday be overcome. The end of the Cold War, of a bipolar world, Enzensberger observes, also means that the more predictable and orderly wars between states will be supplanted increasingly by the breakdown of internal order and the weakening of the monopoly on power claimed by the apparatus of the state (Enzensberger 1994).
Non-Syllable-Dependent Approaches
Authors: Woodard Roger D 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In contrast to the interpretations of Linear B and syllabic Cypriot spelling discussed in chapter 3, there are other analyses of these phenomena which are either not dependent upon syllable structure or, in one instance, only partially dependent upon such structure. It is this latter, “mixed system” of analysis which we shall consider first.
It appears that the earliest example of a non-syllable-based approach to interpreting the Mycenaean and Cypriot strategies for representing consonant sequences is found in a work by the Russian philologist and linguist I. M. Tronsky.
Santería, Catholicism, and Evangelization: Struggles for Religious Identity
Authors: Tweed Thomas A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
On a warm June day a middle-aged, lower-class black woman strode to the water’s edge just behind the shrine to Our Lady of Charity in Miami. This recently arrived Cuban exile, who dressed in the white of an iyawó or Santería initiate, placed a small faded statue of the Virgin on the concrete wall bordering the bay. Ignoring the interior of the shrine, where a priest was leading a hundred visitors in saying the rosary, Mirta faced the sea, raised both arms to the heavens, and began reciting the rosary aloud. She interspersed the stylized prayers with spontaneous and passionate “sermons” on various topics, as a crowd of twenty-five gathered around her. When she stopped, about fifty minutes later, visitors pressed in—asking her questions, writing her phone number, and thanking her enthusiastically.
In a by-path he is resolv’d to go: Introduction
Authors: Underwood T L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The period 1640-89 in English history was marked by turmoil and change. Civil war, the execution of a king, the establishing of a republican regime, the restoration of monarchy, plots against the government, and the Revolution of 1688 were among the political developments of the time. In the religious sphere, the ferment of ideas in the 1640s and 1650s, the abolition and restoration of episcopacy, the repression of Nonconformists, and the 1689 Act of Toleration were significant features. The two middle decades of the century witnessed the expansion of the Baptist sect as well as the rise and expansion of Quakerism. Although at its beginning the Quaker movement attracted some Baptist converts, hostility quickly came to characterize relations between the two groups. Public disputes took place and polemical tracts were exchanged. Such conflicts led John Bunyan to publish his first two works, in which he censured Edward Burrough as “anaemia to the Truth” and denounced the Quakers as “blind Pharisees.
