In 1882, Ernest Renan declared that, ‘if the growth of Christianity had been arrested by some mortal malady, the world would have beenMithraic’ (On peut dire que, si le christianisme eût été arrêté dans sa croissance par quelque maladie mortelle, le monde eût été mithriaste) (Renan 1882, 579). Is it possible that, in the same way, the world could have become Baal-ist? In various monographs, Smith has explored why this did not happen (see Smith 2001; 2002, and 2004) (cited 11), yet as one of this volume’s contributors asks, ‘What would Baal do without Mark Stratton Smith to preserve and respect his memory in a monotheistic world determined to exclude and excoriate him?’ (160). For although ‘the very name evokes idolatry, and an alternative to the true God aptly called pagan’, yet ‘Baal is “The Lord,” a perfectly serviceable monotheistic title when rendered by the Hebrew ʾādôn or the Greek kurios’ and ‘biblical writers managed to let Yahweh and El “converge” into one, with Elohim (God) the common expression, but Baal could not join the convergence [...]’ (160). Even if not necessarily his ‘favorite’ deity, Smith’s ‘deep familiarity’ with Baal has kept scholarship on this god alive and thriving: in this sense, this collection of essays is both a tribute to a prolific scholar and itself a contribution to our understanding of God’s ‘early history’ – a God whose ‘death’, as Nietzsche reminds us (and as Georg Heym also recognized), still casts a shadow over us even today.","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"53 1","pages":"732 - 735"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47785995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Obviously, migration to the capital from outside the UK has been an important factor in this development, but other explanations are also significant, including the tendency of the metropolis to attract gifted and energetic religious leaders. Field’s evidence further indicates the need to recognize geographical diversity and specificity within the overall trend that he documents. For example, in 1881 the index of attendance – that is the total attendance at church services expressed as a percentage of population – ranged from 91.3 in Dysart (Fife) to 16.5 in Widnes (then Lancashire). These were the extreme figures, but Field’s tables show extensive variation within the 20 to 80 range, suggesting that the periodization of secularization looks significantly different in different communities. Moreover, such variation cannot be explained by simplistic generalizations about the size of towns or broad regional differences. A full understanding is likely to require close attention to the specifics of local economy and geography alongside human and spiritual factors, such as the positive or negative impact of particular religious leaders. Hence, despite Field’s herculean efforts, there remains much to be done. This book, however, is an important landmark in the study of secularization in Britain, bringing evidential rigour and balanced nuanced analysis to a scholarly inquiry in which such essential qualities have sometimes been lacking.","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"53 1","pages":"729 - 732"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47306669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are times that one wonders how the wider world of contemporary theological neighbors are dealing with these questions. Even so, the specificity of this delimitation allows for a helpful level of granular detail. It is a history of a theological understanding of an experience, which cannot hope to be comprehensive. It does, however, connect the dots between the past and present for this particular Christian line in a way that has explanatory power. On balance, Inward Baptism is rather Puritan-centric, but not in an unjustified way. Tipson has a wonderful ability to pull nuance out of theological positions in a precise manner and explain them with clarity. In the long history of Christian debates over the necessity of sacraments, infant baptism, predestination, and assurance of salvation, much of this theological ground has been burned over many, many times. Yet the particular questions Inward Baptism asks about how this flow of Christianity moved from a dependence on external baptism to an inward sense of salvation makes those sources and arguments come alive again. Inward Baptism is a worthwhile and well-supported work that adds to the conversations around the history of theology.","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"53 1","pages":"741 - 743"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44838122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
