Sacrifice in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
Sacrifice is the cost of religion, paid in many ways, including donations, ascetic self-denial, prayer, fasting, mystical ecstasy, imitative suffering, ritual offerings, and martyrdom. Common religious discourse uses “sacrifice” to describe a wide array of events and actions that exhibit common features, such as reference to transcendence, conditionality of the offering, and an element of self-giving. For Judaism, Christianity, and Islam a guidin…

The Christian Science Textbook: An Analysis of the Religious Authority of Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy
A holy book arouses the greatest respect even among those (indeed, most of all among those) who do not read it... and the most sophistical reasoning avails nothing in the face of the decisive assertion, which beats down every objection: Thus it is written . It is for this reason that the passages in it which are to lay down an article of faith are called simply texts . The appointed expositors of such a scripture are themselves, by virtue of thei…
The Melancholy Saint: Jonathan Edwards's Interpretation of David Brainerd as a Model of Evangelical Spirituality
It often happens that the papers of a departed master are gathered and winnowed by a faithful disciple in search of one last harvest of truth: an act of respect mingled with a desire for reflected glory. But in Jonathan Edwards's editing of the diary of David Brainerd the elder served the younger
The Law as Gospel: Revival and Reform in the Theology of Charles G. Finney
The first book-length critical study of the theology of Charles G. Finney. Trained as a legal apprentice, Finney underwent a dramatic conversion to Christianity in 1821, at the age of 29. Throughout his long subsequent career as revivalist, professor, and president of Oberlin College, he produced an innovative evangelical theology that proclaimed religious revival and social reform as the legal means for establishing God's moral government on ear…

The Law and the Revival: A "New Divinity" for the Settlements
In the settlements of New York State in the early nineteenth century two movements of the American spirit converged toward the common end of the creation of a just social order for the happiness of man and the glory of God. The revival and the institution of legal order grew and flourished from a common root, the conviction that a renewed national community could be formed only on the basis of respect for law. The Biblical promise of millennial b…

Jonathan Edwards on Men and Trees, and the Problem of Solidarity
