He consistently plays out a polemical interpretation that prioritizes Whitman’s supposed this-worldly Vedanta strain of the Gita in contrast to Emerson’s promotion of an otherworldly Advaita strain of the same Hindu classic. Whitman’s worldview is interpreted in terms of a democratic ethics of oneness that is viable for our times. Arguably, however, Emerson’s doctrine of Over-Soul is grounded in mainstream concepts of Western Neoplatonism and post-Kantian strains of objective idealism, not in the Gita. Engels’s project increasingly aligns with the rhetoric of postmodernism and global ethics that is common coin in today’s academy. It plays out as a kind of monocultural ethics of equality in disagreement with the ethics of democracy based on the twin principles of liberty and equality in the open marketplace of performance, as represented by William James and the other classical Pragmatists.","PeriodicalId":45199,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45130205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"A Calvinist Confession? Interpreting the Thirty-Nine Articles and Writing the History of the Reformation in Eighteenth-Century Ireland","authors":"Simon Lewis","doi":"10.1086/725062","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/725062","url":null,"abstract":"In eighteenth-century Ireland, there were two competing historiographical traditions, fighting to tell their story of the Church of Ireland’s doctrinal heritage, as outlined in its confession, the Thirty-Nine Articles, which were formulated in the sixteenth-century Church of England. Article XVII: Of Predestination and Election—the most controversial article—contained no reference to the “reprobate.” Mainstream Anglican clergymen, who taught an Arminian soteriology, cited this omission as proof that the sixteenth-century framers had not intended Article XVII to be read in a Calvinist light. These “Caroline” historians also stressed the importance of the Laudian reforms of the 1630s, when the Irish Church’s original, ultra-Calvinist confession, the 1615 Articles, were virtually (but not officially) rescinded in favor of the English Church’s allegedly un-Calvinist confession, the Thirty-Nine Articles. There was, however, another, resolutely Protestant historiographical tradition, stressing the Irish Church’s doctrinal links with the continental Reformation. Proponents of this tradition argued that the Thirty-Nine Articles needed to be read in the light of the 1615 Articles, which, they claimed, remained an authoritative confession in the Irish Church. This essay explores how contemporaries interpreted and reinterpreted the Thirty-Nine Articles, thereby illuminating the ways in which the historiography of the Reformation was shaped by politico-theological concerns in eighteenth-century Ireland. It displays the eighteenth century as a fundamental period of transition, in which a largely dormant historiographical tradition was revived in the Irish Church by a small but growing faction of evangelicals, who sought to write Calvinism back into the history of their denomination.","PeriodicalId":45199,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47179219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Writing an Amish Theology","authors":"Christopher G. Petrovich","doi":"10.1086/724853","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724853","url":null,"abstract":"Theological writing is an art that is performed in community by persons of faith. In spite of the longevity of their tradition, the Amish have not inscribed their theology on paper. Until the mid-1990s, scholars in the field of Amish studies routinely noted Amish instruction about simplicity and humility, the logical conclusion being that the Amish lack a theology. This is the result of filtering the Amish through the lens of a modernity that values higher education, technical language, and theological tomes, turning this binary logic to reach the reverse conclusion that the Amish are a-theological because they don’t attend seminary, don’t write theological tomes, and don’t use technical theological language. In 1993, John Oyer conceded that the Amish have a theology, at least an implicit one. However, he brought a strongly neo-Lutheran reading to the discussion, questioning whether the Amish can write a genuinely Christian (Protestant) theology because of their understanding of tradition and the way they correlate faith and works in soteriology. Since then, scholars have more frequently addressed theological subjects. However, the topics are often framed with an Evangelical Protestant slant, and the literature itself—the majority published by Johns Hopkins University Press—has chiefly followed the theory laid down by Donald B. Kraybill in The Amish Struggle with Modernity that the Amish lack a formal theology because they resist Weberian-style rationalization. I aim to move beyond these interpretive paradigms, suggesting diverse ways that the Amish can fruitfully engage (and be engaged by) the wider Christian tradition.","PeriodicalId":45199,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43561445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
