Theory, Theology, and Episcopal Churchwomen
Authors: Miles Margaret R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Questions surrounding a theory of women’s participation in past and present American Episcopal churches may take two foci. First, the particular question about the present: Why do—or, more pointedly, how can—women participate in the Episcopal Church? The second focus is more general; it assumes that work on a particular content—women in Episcopal congregations-may also yield the possibility of a critique or nuancing of more wide-ranging theoretical questions, such as why women support patriarchal institutions. No doubt there are many problematic reasons for doing so, but are there any “good” reasons, and how can legitimate reasons be recognized and theorized? This essay will consider the second set of questions first, exploring some theoretical approaches to women’s activities in established institutions. I will tum then to the particular question, asking whether the theories we have examined can contribute to understanding women’s contemporary situation in the Episcopal Church.
The New Humanism As A Hermeneutics Of A “Participatory Morphology” And As A Spiritual Vision
Authors: Cave David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Eliade’s new humanism is a hermeneutical program of what I call a “participatory morphology.’’ However implicitly or explicitly he articulated a methodology, Eliade lived out the full implications of his hermeneutical discoveries. He lived in a constant dialogue between experience and method. The importance of this relationship between experience and method is understood when placed within the context of the hermeneutical tradition. Out of this tradition Eliade contributed his own transformative and universal hermeneutics of a distinctive style and vision.
Deception and Personal Wholeness
Authors: Rue Loyal 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I have said that all human behavior can be construed in relation to a search for two goals, personal wholeness and social coherence, or as an expression of frustration at failure to attain them. This chapter explores the role of deception in the achievement of personal wholeness. The subject matter threatens to be complex and elusive, but at least the questions before us are simple and straightforward: What is a person? What constitutes personal wholeness? What is the role of deception in the achievement of personal wholeness?
Deception and Social Coherence
Authors: Rue Loyal 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I Have suggested that human survival is contingent upon the achievement of two penultimate goals, personal wholeness and social coherence. In chapter 3 we considered the nature of personality, the conditions for personal wholeness, and the role of deception in the achievement of those conditions. The present chapter will be developed in a parallel fashion. Here we will ask: What is the nature of society? What are the conditions for social coherence? What is the role of deception in the achievement of the conditions for social coherence?
Any contemporary social theory must begin by reconciling evolutionary biology with the fact of sociality. It is an axiom of evolutionary biology that organisms are programmed in such ways as to maximize their own reproductive interests. But if self-interest is a given, then one might suppose that even a modicum of social order would be an unlikely possibility. If individuals are essentially self-serving, then one might expect that interactions between them would be so thoroughly fraught with conflicts of interest that a sustainable social order would be out of the question. But of course examples of social order are everywhere to be found and cannot be denied.
The Saving Grace of Noble Lies
Authors: Rue Loyal 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The focus of this book is about to change. In the Introduction I indicated that the bulk of my argument would serve as a preface to a noble lie that might give us resources for reenchanting the universe despite the maladaptive truth of nihilism. Having done with the preface, we may now turn to the context and the substance of a noble lie for our troubled age.
In 1864 Pope Pius IX issued the Syllabus of Errors, a document listing eighty propositions which he condemned as unacceptable to faithful Christians. The document amounted to a wholesale rejection of modernity and a stern call to the Roman Catholic laity to hold fast to the conventions of medieval piety.
Conclusion
Authors: Lachmann Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Capitalism and nation-states were not created by visionaries or by grand strategists or by obsessive-compulsive Protestants. Elites and nonelites alike were rational in that they were aware of their own interests, they knew when they were endangered by enemies, they could accurately assess each party’s relative capacities, and they could chose allies in their struggles based on cold-blooded political considerations rather than sentiment or tradition. The new social relations and political institutions of early modem Europe developed step-by-step as cautious elites sought to preserve the privileges and powers they already enjoyed. The few elites whose series of mostly defensive maneuvers produced enormous and unanticipated changes in their societies never intended to create new social relations or new modes of production. They truly were capitalists in spite of themselves.
Prophetic Figures in Late Second Temple Jewish Palestine
Authors: Gray Rebecca 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Based on a revised Oxford University doctoral dissertation, this work examines the evidence from Josephus for prophetic figures in Jewish Palestine in the late Second Temple period, approximately 150 BCE to 70CE. Recent years have seen renewed interest in the question of how Jesus of Nazareth should be classified in terms of religious or social "type." Was he a teacher, prophet, miracle-worker, magician, charismatic or militant revolutionary? Although there is no real consensus among New Testament scholars on this question, "prophet" is probably the leading contender. If this designation is to be meaningful, however, a clearer picture of first-century Jewish prophecy in general is essential. The present work is intended as a contribution towards a better understanding of Jewish prophecy around the time of Jesus. Josephus is without question our most important source of information about events in Palestine in this period. Although Josephus is often cited in works on early Jewish prophecy, however, there has until now been no separate study of this material. Gray here not only offers the first comprehensive examination of Josephus' writings on specific prophetic figures, but also analyses in detail his general views on prohecy and the prohetic claim he makes for himself.
Translation from Arabic
Authors: Lewis Bernard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Until the Renaissance and the Reformation, that is, until the period when the great wave of translations from scriptures and classics began in the West, Arabic was probably the most widely translated language in the world, both in the number of books translated and in the number of languages into which these translations were made. Arabic was therefore also the language in connection with which the problems of translation had been most carefully and systematically considered. It may be noted in passing that the first book ever printed in England was the Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers, printed in 1477. This was an English version of an Arabic original, the Kitiib Mukhtar al-Hikam wa-Mahasin al-Kilam, written in about the middle of the eleventh or early twelfth century by a certain Mubashir ibn Patik. The first critical edition of the Arabic text appeared in 1958.
The Question of Orientalism
Authors: Lewis Bernard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Imagine a situation in which a group of patriots and radicals from Greece decides that the profession of classical studies is insulting to the great heritage of Hellas and that those engaged in these studies, known as classicists, are the latest manifestation of a deep and evil conspiracy, incubated for centuries, hatched in Western Europe, fledged in America, the purpose of which is to denigrate the Greek achievement and subjugate the Greek lands and peoples. In this perspective, the entire European tradition of classical studies-largely the creation of French romantics, British colonial governors (of Cyprus, of course), and poets, professors, and proconsuls from both countries-is a long-standing insult to the honor and integrity of Hellas and a threat to its future. The poison has spread from Europe to the United States, where the teaching of Greek history, language, and literature in the universities is dominated by the evil race of classicists-men and women who are not of Greek origin, who have no sympathy for Greek causes, and who, under a false mask of dispassionate scholarship, strive to keep the Greek people in a state of permanent subordination.
Other People’s History
Authors: Lewis Bernard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In his famous visionary poem “Locksley Hall,” written in 1842, the English poet Tennyson expresses a view, fairly common at that time, of the relative importance of European and Oriental history: “Better fifty years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay.” Cathay of course is China, and a cycle of Cathay implies that although the history of China is very long, it consists of meaningless repetition. Europe, in contrast, is a place where things happen, important things, and quickly.
The Return of Islam
Authors: Lewis Bernard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the great medieval French epic of the wars between Christians and Saracens in Spain, the Chanson de Roland) the Christian poet endeavors to give his readers or, rather, listeners some idea of the Saracen religion. According to this vision, the Saracens worshiped a trinity consisting of three persons: Muhammad, the founder of their religion, and two others, both of them devils, Apollin and Tervagant. To us this seems comic, and we are amused by medieval man unable to conceive of religion or indeed of anything else except in his own image. Since Christendom worshiped its founder in association with two other entities, the Saracens also had to worship their founder, and he too had to be one of a trinity, with two demons co-opted to make up the number. In the same spirit one finds special correspondents of European and American newspapers describing the civil war in Lebanon in terms of right-wing and left-wing factions. Just as medieval Christian man could conceive of religion only in terms of a trinity, so his modem descendant can conceive of politics only in terms of a theology or, as we say nowadays, ideology, of left-wing and right-wing forces and factions.
Religious Coexistence and Secularism
Authors: Lewis Bernard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The term “coexistence,” as it is used at the present time, implies a willingness to live at peace, and perhaps even in mutual respect, with others. It might therefore be useful to begin with a glance at the notion of “otherness,” which, no doubt as a result of the conspicuous failures of coexistence-religious, national, racial, social, ideological-in our century, has received a good deal of attention of late.
Diffusion Flames
Authors: Linan Amable , Williams Forman A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Unlike premixed flames, diffusion flames do not have a burning velocity. Interest therefore lies in their internal structure, in their rates of energy release, in rates of transport of fuel and oxidizer into the flame (burning rates), and in necessary conditions for their existence and extinction. For many purposes, diffusion-flame investigations become investigations of transport phenomena. Transport rates are of critical importance in the burning of fuel droplets, in the burning of liquid pools, and in the burning of solid slabs of fuel, for example; two distinct phases (states of matter) must be considered in these processes.
Flammability, Explosions, And Detonations
Authors: Linan Amable , Williams Forman A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There is both fundamental and practical interest in knowing what constitutes a combustible mixture capable of experiencing deflagration or detonation and in determining what it takes to ignite such a mixture or to make it produce the strong pressure pulses normally associated with explosions. These problems in flammability, ignition, and explosions are addressed in the present chapter. They involve the self-acceleratory character of combustion and the definition of critical conditions needed for self-acceleratory behavior to occur. Some of the experimental observations, as well as theoretical approaches that describe them, will be reviewed.
Turbulent Combustion
Authors: Linan Amable , Williams Forman A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In most practical combustion devices the flow is turbulent. Therefore there has always been strong applied interest in turbulent combustion. Thus far we have studiously avoided mentioning turbulence, except where absolutely necessary, because of the complications that it introduces. Important combustion principles can be defined and understood much more easily without considering turbulence. The presentation of these principles has now been completed, and the stage therefore is set to proceed to address questions of turbulent combustion. This subject is approached here keeping in mind the basic combustion ideas of the previous chapters. The orientation will stress fundamentals and the inherent scientific interest in this complex subject, paying less attention to seeking answers to practical problems.
Ambience and Embodiment of Transcendental Dreams
Authors: Versluis Arthur 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One significant influence on American interest in Asian religions was trade, for it was through trade and missionary accounts that most Americans in the nineteenth century encountered artifacts of or references to Asian culture. Of course, the Transcendentalists were literati, and their knowledge of Asian religious and philosophical teachings came largely through European scholarship and translation, which we consider primarily in the context of Transcendentalist books and articles. But the ambience within which Tran scendentalism appeared was conditioned by American trade connections to Asian countries. Although it is impossible to discuss here in any depth the history of American commerce with Asian countries, it is important to recognize the general patterns of American trade with Asia from the 1830s to the 1880s.
Transcendentalist Periodicals and the Orient
Authors: Versluis Arthur 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Throughout its history, the Transcendentalist movement generated periodicals in order to disseminate its various viewpoints. Although these journals at first seem remarkably diverse-ranging from the quasi-millennialism of The Harbinger to the literary elite published in The Dial to the liberal religious contentiousness of The Radical and The Index-in fact Transcendentalist periodicals maintained some continuity from the 1830s to the 1880s. With occasional exceptions, all the periodicals share a secular millennialism, a religious liberalism, and an editors’ and contributors’ attraction to what might be called nascent comparative religion. All of the Transcendentalist periodicals can be defined by their relation to Emersonian Transcendentalism, and all reflect, sometimes in peculiar ways, the characteristic American ideology of progress that conditioned virtually the whole of Transcendentalist Orientalism.
A Last Stern Struggle: Henry Highland Garnet and Liberation Theory
Authors: Stuckey Sterling 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At least one generation of Garnets had died in Maryland slavery and two more, by the time of Henry Highland Garnet’s birth in 1815, faced that possibility. Indeed, oppression in the Garnet family was aggravated as births and deaths took place, leaving an influence on Henry that he later drew on in formulating his strategy for making slaves aware of the consequences of continued degradation in slavery. His grandfather had gone through the whole process of captivity in Africa, the middle passage, and enslavement in America, where he also saw his offspring, Henry’s father, enslaved.
“I Want to Be African”:Paul Robeson and the Ends of Nationalist Theory and Practice, 1914-1945
Authors: Stuckey Sterling 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
With displays of scholarly and athletic brilliance, Paul Robeson won attention at Rutgers during World War I. After Columbia Law, he revealed such light as an artist that he was hailed as the finest bass-baritone in the world and as one of the leading actors of his time. All the while, he was fashioning a theory of culture to help liberate his people and, increasingly, to support the cause of the oppressed, irrespective of race. For nearly fifty years his devotion to peoples of African descent, mount ing even as his interest in other peoples gained ground, was the motive power behind his political and intellectual endeavors.
Paul Robeson’s Here I Stand
Authors: Stuckey Sterling 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A discussion of Robeson’s early life, “A Home in That Rock” goes far toward explaining why Robeson was later able to affirm, in remarkable measure, the revolutionary ethic at the heart of the song. Robeson’s roots were established in a religion that reveals African influences through musical creativity that allows virtually no break between the sacred and the secular; indeed, the sacred music could be said to contain seeds of the blues and jazz that bloomed in the first decade of Robeson’s life. The role of the Negro home in that process deserves attention, especially when that home was, as was Paul Robeson’s, headed by a minister: “Here in this little hemmed-in world where home must be theatre and concert hall and social center, there was a warmth of song.
Going Through the Storm: The Great Singing Movements of the Sixties
Authors: Stuckey Sterling 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Betty Mae Fikes recalled that the influence of her courageous grandmother was so profound that she felt she was “born into the movement.” With that special relationship to its past and present, she was keen that the movement not be misrepresented: “We are taking the place prepared for us by King; so we must get our history right. We must lay the foundation for others.” The importance of the movement in her life was unmistakable, and it brought back a rush of memories: “I see around me now all the beautiful people who made me what I am today. I could be calling names from now until midnight and still be calling them. The movement must be experienced before you can understand it.” As “Nobody Knows the Trouble I See” was being sung in the background, she confessed: “When I’m down and out, I hum it out, sing my Gospel, hug myself real tight, and look up. Someone greater than us understands. Gospel is our heritage.”
Working Without a Net
Authors: Foley Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this book Foley offers a major new theory of rationality. His aim is to escape the ‘doldrums of Descartes’ by lowering the standard for what is rational from his impossibly demanding level of certainty. Foley takes a belief’s being rational as a matter of its seeming from some perspective to be objectively likely to be true. This makes for an attractive mix of subjective and objective components in his concept of rationality. The subjective component makes rationality attainable; the objective component preserves the discipline of external constraint.
Women, Love, and Virtue in the Thought of Edwards and Franklin
Authors: Bloch Ruth H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As major American intellectuals in the midst of the transition from Puritanism to the new Protestant middle-class morality of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Jonathan Edwards and Benjamin Franklin stood at an important juncture in the development of ideas about women and marital love. Although neither of them wrote extensively about relationships between men and women, their often implicit ideas reveal difficulties they had reconciling traditional Puritan with newer points of view. Their shared preoccupation with human morality, as well as their personal relationships with women, unavoidably raised basic questions about the role of human attachment in the generation of virtue. Their often internally contradictory answers to these questions at once resisted and encouraged broader changes in the American cultural understanding of women and love. The Puritans before them, as many historians have shown, accorded marriage fundamental social value as the core of the “little commonwealth” of the family. Regarded as the basic unit of society, familial relationships served as the primary locus of religious education and the enforcement of the moral code.
Introduction
Authors: Colle Ralph Del 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Amid the renaissance of christologies proposed by Roman Catholic theologians since the Second Vatican Council there has been an important substream that we may identify as Spirit-christology. Spirit, Spirit-orientated, pneumatological or pneumatologically orientated christologies have all been mentioned as serious options for theological reflection and construction. As an alternative christological model, Spiritchristology can be proposed as a substitute for traditional Logos-christology; but for the most part, with only slight exception, Catholic theologians have envisaged Spiritchristology as a complement. to Logos-christology, hoping to enhance the older model with a much needed pneumatological element.
“A Good Enough England”: Foreign Relations in the Gilded Age, 1877–1893
Authors: Herring George C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
By 1882, many Americans insisted that their country must control an isthmian canal, and when Great Britain showed no willingness to scrap the 1850 Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, providing for joint ownership and operation, the ever brash New York Herald offered its trans-Atlantic cousin some gratuitous advice. If Britain felt compelled to impose its designs on other peoples, the Herald opined, it should “take another turn” at the Boers, the Zulus, or the Afghans. “She need not bother with this side of the sea. We are a good enough England for this hemisphere.”
Nixon, Kissinger, and the End of the Postwar Era, 1969–1974
Authors: Herring George C 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It was an act without precedent in the annals of twentieth-century U.S. diplomacy: the odd couple of President Richard M. Nixon and National Security Adviser Henry A. Kissinger devising and implementing a foreign policy imaginative in concept and radical in some of its essential elements. The two men perceived the dramatic changes that had occurred since the end of World War II and set out to craft what Nixon called a “new approach to foreign policy to match a new era of international relations.”1 Keenly aware of the relative decline in U.S. power, they adapted by exploiting the rivalry between their two Communist adversaries, scaling back commitments, and using regional powers to promote world order. These self-styled realists operated in the manner of the great nineteenth-century European diplomatists they so admired. Shutting out the foreign policy bureaucracy, Congress, and indeed the nation, acting in secrecy and often with great dramatic flair, they pulled off in 1972—their year of triumph— breathtaking achievements, grandly staged summits in Moscow and more incredibly in Beijing, and the possibility of peace in Vietnam, helping to seal Nixon’s smashing reelection victory in November.
