Ahead by a Century
Paul Tyson's A Christian Theology of Science has convinced me that David Hume would not be able to affirm the Nicene Creed, though admittedly I didn't need much convincing. In fact, Tyson persuaded me of nearly all his claims about matters before, say, 1922. It is not as though I disagree with the rest, but that in telling the sweeping story of theology's fate in modernity—on which I agree with Tyson—he cuts off his story too soon: a hundred year…
Do objective data support the claim that problematic smartphone use has a clinically meaningful impact upon adolescent sleep duration
Sleep insufficiency is a risk factor for mental and physical ill-health. In recent years, research has attributed sleep insufficiency to problematic smartphone use (PSU). In addition, research has indicated a relationship between sleep and the construct of mental toughness (MT). However, previous research exploring the relationship between sleep, PSU and MT has relied on self-report measures. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the tentative l…
If the Gospel We Preach Disregards Human Rights, I Would Rather not Preach This Gospel”
Both pro-establishment Christians, who support ‘obeying the authority’ (Romans 13), and pro-democracy Christians, who participated in the 2014–20 protests, want what is best for Hong Kong and truest to their Christian faith, but they understand those aims differently. The former believe social stability is a way to create space for Christian faith to flourish, while the latter judge that we need to break the current unjust system for Christian fa…
Science-Engaged Theology
This Element presents science-engaged theology as a reminder to theologians to use the local tools and products of the sciences as sources for theological reflection. Using critiques of modernity and secularism, the Element questions the idea that Science and Religion were ever transhistorical categories. The Element also encourages theologians to collaborate with colleagues in other disciplines in a highly localised manner that enables theologia…
‘…To Read People Differently’
This article takes Margaret Meek Spencer’s 1988 pamphlet “How Texts Teach What Readers Learn” to frame a discussion about the purpose of English Literature in English secondary schools. The primary data informing this article is taken from original interviews with ten Heads of English departments in English secondary schools. Henri Lefebvre’s framework of conceived, perceived and lived spaces is used to analyse the data to understand how the Head…
A Jungian Formulation of Schizophrenia
In this paper published in the American Journal of Psychotherapy in 1956, John Weir Perry lays out a Jungian view of schizophrenia as an irruption of symbolic archetypal images and processes into the field of consciousness. These symbols represent the essence of the psychotic process and can point to a healing process. More specifically, the symbols of catatonic schizophrenia almost invariably are found to contain a death and rebirth pattern as i…
How are Heads of English responding to policy changes in the English school system
Changes to education policy in England since 2010 have led teachers to reflect on what and how they teach. This paper presents original data exploring how a small selection (n = 10) of Heads of English in some English secondary schools are accommodating policy changes. Ball’s analytic framework developed to explore neoliberal policy enactment in education is used to reveal how Heads of English might be at odds with recent policy changes, particul…

What is Science-Engaged Theology
Is there a journal less likely than Modern Theology to devote a special issue to the natural sciences? When we were in grad school, we would have said, "No and I hope they never descend to that. You see, Modern Theology does real theology." Real theology, we thought, should always be queen of the sciences. We had picked up the fads of our generation, and one such fad was the idea that whenever scientists were invited to the theological table, the…
Four puzzling paragraphs
In §8 of his Begriffsschrift (1879), Gottlob Frege discusses issues related to identity. Frege begins his most famous essay, "On Sense and Denotation" (1892), published 13 years later, by criticizing the view advocated in §8. He returns to these issues in the concluding paragraph. Controversies continue over these important passages. We offer an interpretation and discuss some alternatives. We defend that in the Begriffsschrift, Frege does not ho…

Vocation and Creation
One strand of the church's conversation about homosexuality compares present‐day acceptance of homosexuals to the church's acceptance of Gentiles in Acts 15. In a previous article, “Gentiles and Homosexuals,” I presented the history of that strand. In a reply to my article, Olson proposes to reimagine the analogy via the “radical new perspective on Paul” and argues that doing so exposes problems with my original analysis. I defend myself against …
Consciousness and the Self
'I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe any thing but the perception.' These famous words of David Hume, on his inability to perceive the self, set the stage for JeeLoo Liu and John Perry's collection of essays on self-awareness and self-knowledge. This volume connects recent scientific studies on consciousness with the traditional issues about the self explored by Descartes, Locke and Hume. Experts in th…
Two Questions for Wolterstorff
Much of Nicholas Wolterstorff’s argument in Justice: Rights and Wrongs is persuasive and helpful, especially his focus on perceiving instances of injustice as wronging, i.e., the denial of the goods to which one has a right. Two aspects of his theory are less persuasive, one historical and one theoretical. Historically, although he convincingly shows that the concept of rights is much older than some claim, he does not account for how the functio…
Gentiles and Homosexuals
This paper examines the argument that moral approval of homosexuality is analogous to the early church's inclusion of gentiles. The analogy has a long but often overlooked history, dating back to the start of the modern gay-rights movement. It has recently gained greater prominence because of its importance to the Episcopal Church's debate with the wider Anglican Communion. Beginning with the Episcopal Church argument, we see that there are five …

Iranian Nationality and the Persian Language
In this insightful study of Iranian cultural history and national identity, Shahrokh Meskoob, one of Iran's leading intellectuals, reviews the roles of three social classes, the courtiers and bureaucratic officials (ahl-e divan), the religious scholars (ulama), and the Muslim Gnostics (Sufi poets and writers), in the development and refinement of the Persian language during the past one thousand years and gives the reader a fresh perspective on I…

Language Reform in Turkey and Iran
Of all man's cultural badges, that of language is perhaps the most intimately felt and tenaciously defended. Even chauvinists who are prepared to concede under pressure that language, race, and culture are not the same thing—that their national ethnicity may be mixed, their religion imported, their culture synthetic to a degree—will still cling to the national language as the last bastion of irrational totemic pride. Hence, one of the most contro…

Toward a Theory of Iranian Urban Moieties
The Haydariyyah and Nicmatiyyah were Widespread, Mutually Hostile urban factions of Safavid and post-Safavid Iran, sparsely documented and virtually unstudied. From at least the middle of the tenth/sixteenth century up until recent decades, a number of cities and towns of Iran were perceived as being divided into two groupings of adjacent wards (maḥallah), one grouping known as the Ḥaydarī-khānah and the other as the Nicmatī-khānah, the respectiv…
Forced Migration in Iran During the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
“Forced migration” is defined for the purposes of this study as the transportation of a considerable number of a population group (whether nomadic or sedentary), normally in family units and accompanied by livestock and chattels, to be permanently resettled in a region remote from their home; and undertaken as an act of policy by the ruler or his agents. It does not refer to attempts to sedentarize nomads on lands adjacent to their pastures, or t…

A Sporting Chance? The “Dark Horse Strategy” and Winning in Professional Running
Professional running, derived from 19th century pedestrianism, is a gambling sport mostly confined to working men. Runners compete for prize money and, particularly, in the hope that they will win races as “dark horses” which should ensure substantial winnings from the betting ring. This sport involves handicapping athletes to level ability differences between them and, in theory, gives each competitor an equal chance of winning. Competitors conc…

A Short Method for Projecting Population By Age from One Decennial Census to Another
The logical basis and mathematical character of a short method for making population projections by age from one decennial census to another is discussed. The method is based on the assumption that age-specific vital rates and migration rates of the recent past will continue unchanged into the near future, i.e. from the last decade through the next decade. The method includes techniques for making projections of the population under 10 years of a…

The new theatre
The New Theatre (1909–11) remains one of American theater history's enigmas. Patterned after the great European national theaters and financed by millionaires, it was incorporated as a resident stock company that would play repertory instead of promoting stars and popular plays. Free from the pressures of commercialism, it was committed to the highest standards of literary and artistic excellence. Yet, the venture failed in two seasons. Why? The …
