They're forcing people to have children that they can't afford
Abortion is common but highly stigmatized in the United States, and the overturning of Roe v. Wade severely restricted abortion access in many states across the nation. Data reveal that maternal morbidity and mortality are already increasing, and research suggests existing inequities in abortion access across racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups will be exacerbated. Research has shown that social support (perceived and received aid from one's s…
Liberals, Modernists, and Others
My thanks to Maria Doerfler for organizing a session at the January 2020 meeting of the American Society of Church History on my book The Fathers Refounded: Protestant Liberalism, Roman Catholic Modernism, and the Teaching of Ancient Christianity in Early Twentieth-Century America , to the editors of Church History for suggesting that the (revised) papers from the session could find a home in print, and, especially, to the panelists for their ins…
Scripture and Asceticism
This chapter surveys some interpretative techniques employed by early Christian writers to encourage ascetic renunciation, especially renunciation of marriage and reproduction. These authors, gearing their messages to different audiences, sought to mine passages from both the Old Testament and the New to advance their cause. By use of different exegetical techniques (e.g. intertextual exegesis; appeal to ‘the difference in times’; ‘close reading’…

Jeremy Black. Clio’s Battles
Clio’s Battles: Historiography in Practice does not focus, as readers might expect from its main title, on “battles” among historians regarding the theory and method of their craft. Yet if they were aware that Jeremy Black has written over one hundred books on topics ranging from Western warfare from the eighteenth to the late twentieth century, political strategy in the eighteenth century, geopolitics, the Holocaust, British and American history…

From Italy to Harvard
Modernism: What was it? When was it? Does Modernism name "a break with the past," proclaim the present as "qualitatively distinct and new"-or is Modernism's self-representation as an "ideology of rupture, opposition, and anti-institutionality" over-hyped? And when was the "when" of Modernism? Do Modernism's origins trace back to the era of Romanticism? Or to the 1880s and Baudelaire? Or to 1913 and Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring"? Or to 1922: the p…

From Patristics to Early Christian Studies
Charles Kannengiesser's presidential address to the North American Patristics Society in 1990 was a lament originally titled ‘Bye, Bye Patristics’. Most of the classically educated French scholars who had revitalized patristics as part of what Kannengiesser termed ‘the spiritual and humanistic revival in Europe after World War II’ were dead, and educational support for these studies in Europe was dwindling. This article describes the passage from…

The Ascetic Impulse in Religious Life
To provide a summation of and response to a set of essays so rich and diverse as these is always a problem for the hapless commentator; to provide one for essays that posit highly divergent views of what constitutes asceticism (or even its characteristic features) seems even more daunting. As several participants wryly noted at the International Conference on the Ascetic Dimension in Religious Life and Culture, members of the group on The Ascetic…
Generation and Degeneration
This book is about the discourses that inform constructions of genealogies, whether we speak of genealogy in the biological sense of procreation and reproduction or in the metaphorical sense of heritage and cultural patrimony.It retraces generational fantasies and generational discords in a variety of related contexts, from the medical to the theological, and from the literary to the historical.It moves through a number of centuries, from Greco-R…
Women, Gender, and the Study of Christian History
Anglo-Saxonist Allen Frantzen, addressing fellow medievalists in 1993, dismissed fears expressed by female colleaguesthat adopting the designation "gender studies" would signal a reinstatement of "familiar male canons while crowding hard-won courses on women writers out of the curriculum." Such a regression, Frantzen retorted, was "inconceivable," since "a return to a prefeminist curriculum is as likely in most universities as a resurgence of the…

Reading Renunciation
Reading Renunciation
A study of how asceticism was promoted through Biblical interpretation, Reading Renunciation uses contemporary literary theory to unravel the writing strategies of the early Christian authors. Not a general discussion of early Christian teachings on celibacy and marriage, the book is a close examination, in the author's words, of how "the Fathers' axiology of abstinence informed their interpretation of Scriptural texts and incited the production …
The Lady Vanishes
History, Hayden White remarks, has no distinctively historical method, but borrows its models and methods from a variety of other disciplines. These disciplines, however, have varied over time. Latenineteenth-century German historiography looked to the rigorous procedures of the natural sciences to reconstruct the past "as it actually happened"; mid-twentieth-century historians turned to the social sciences, especially to anthropology and sociolo…

The Origenist Controversy
Around the turn of the fifth century, Christian theologians and churchmen contested each other's orthodoxy and good repute by hurling charges of "Origenism" at their opponents. And although orthodoxy was more narrowly defined by that era than during Origen's lifetime in the third century, his speculative, Platonizing theology was not the only issue at stake in the Origenist controversy: "Origen" became a code word for nontheological complaints as…

Claims on the Bones of Saint Stephen
As Peter Brown has so eloquently described in The Cult of the Saints: Its Rise and Function in Latin Christianity, bones became an avenue to power in late antiquity. Wealthy Christians who could lay claim to the bodies of the holy dead gained status through their willingness to share the gratia thus acquired with those lacking relics of their own; Paulinus of Nola, proprietor of Saint Felix's remains, affords an illuminating example. Patronage wa…

New Perspectives on the Origenist Controversy
The controversy over Origenism that erupted in the last years of the fourth century and the opening years of the fifth has puzzled many students of the period: no single identifiable theological issue seemed at stake. At the center of the Arian controversy lay a debate over the subordination (or nonsubordination) of the Son to the Father; in the fifth-century christological disputes Jesus' "nature" or "natures" prompted disagreement. But what was…
John Chrysostom and theSubintroductae
When physical affections are destroyed and tyrannical desire extinguished, then no hindrance will any longer stand in the way of men and women being together, because all evil suspicion will be cleared away and all who have entered the kingdom of heaven can maintain the way of life of the angels and spiritual powers, through the grace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom with the Father and the Holy Spirit be glory, honor, and dominion from…
