Principal Leadership in a Time of Change
Education is undergoing a period of sustained change from a focus on traditional skills and compliance to positional authority, to a focus on 21st century skills and more adaptable behaviors. In the light of this changing context, this study examined the role of school principalship and identified those attributes which teachers and students recognize as being desirable in a school leader today. Principals come in all shapes and sizes, have diffe…

Emotion
Barbarous Howling, Sonic Space, and Identity
During the 1720s Boston-area ministers and their allies argued that singing in rural churches had degenerated into vulgar howling. Fearful that the howling signaled the creeping Indianization of rural New Englanders they argued for reform that would require singing by note, a proposal strenuously resisted by rural congregations

Religion, Space, and the Atlantic World
Believing Within Business
This chapter reviews and extends prevailing methods of understanding evangelical Christianity and narrating its relationship with business. Traditionally, studies of evangelicalism have approached both evangelicalism and business as distinct spheres of social activity, and they have recounted how evangelicals variously have opposed or embraced business in service of their religious ideals or objectives. Such approaches have presented business pri…

Provoking critical thinking, this text addresses the cultural framework of religious meanings and explores the similarities and differences among Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as it e…
Space, Modernity, and Emptiness
One of the ways in which Christian groups responded to the challenges of modernity was by positioning themselves differently in space. In the interest of better understanding that process, let us think for a moment about the social system, the social space to be precise, within which groups exist. As one starting point for that, it is useful to acknowledge that social groups define themselves in relation to others. Specifically, groups define the…
From Unity to Locality
In 1932, Shirley Jackson Case, a recent president of the American Society of Church History, summarized the activities of the "The Church History Deputation to the Orient" by rehearsing some of the questions that the visiting scholars asked of their colleagues in Asia. Among those queries were these: "What service is the study of Church History as a whole rendering to Christianity today in your country? Could this service be improved, and, if so,…
Emotion and Religious Community in America
Emotion is an important component of religion in America. Different kinds of emotion have emerged in a wide variety of American religious settings. Wonder, hope, fear, hatred, love, anger, and other emotions are performed by Americans, individually and collectively, according to scripts provided by religious traditions. Contact with God or the divine typically is conceptualized as a matter of feeling, and for many Americans, ‘knowing’ comes from …

Catholick Congregational Clergy and Public Piety
The history of Congregationalism in early eighteenth-century Boston has long been dominated by the figure of Cotton Mather (1663-1728), the learned pastor of Boston's Second Church. From Benjamin Franklin's notice of Mather's "do-good" campaign of Christian charitable works to recent scholarly studies of Mather's closet piety, historians have measured the religious mood of the period by the yardstick of ideas, joys, and complaints in Mather's vol…

A Tribute to the Professor
At the recent meeting of the American Society of Church History in New York I was recollecting with a friend our common experience in a graduate seminar at the University of Chicago. In the course of that conversation we came to realize that the majority of the papers from the seminar eventually had found their way into print, in one form or another. We noted with satisfaction how seeds planted years ago had borne some fruit, but with that curiou…

Body and Soul
Our fascination with New England Puritans is never-ending. Poised on the brink of modernity, this small but determined band of seekers has been placed on the historical cusp between two worlds-the world we have lost (with its gentle agrarian rhythms and communal ethos) and the world we have gained (with its strident individualism and ruthless economic imperatives). From Max Weber to Sacvan Bercovitch, the tortured soul of the Puritan has come to …
