The Oxford Handbook of Seventh-day Adventism
Seventh-day Adventism is the largest religious group to have emerged out of the Millerite revivals of the 1840s. These revivals culminated in the expectation that Jesus would literally return to earth in 1844. After the hoped-for event did not materialize, Adventists searched for biblical explanations. They wove beliefs in the heavenly sanctuary, the seventh-day Sabbath, and Christian mortalism into a cohesive theology. Along with their premillen…
A Second Magna Charta of Highest Liberties
the history of the Magna Carta has a special relationship to the history of religious dissent; the waxing and waning of the Great Charter as a protector of liberties often coincides with the rise and fall of active religious revival and dissent. I think this correlation is no coincidence and that religious dissenters have a special sensitivity to the three areas described above. My area of specialty and focus in this essay is American Protestant …
Joseph S. Moore. Founding Sins
"Joseph S. Moore’s new book is a reminder that history is at its best when it punctures our assumptions about both the present and the past. To do only one or the other makes history appear either overly presentist and preachy or purely antiquarian and irrelevant. Moore’s work calls into question the current claims of many “Christian America” advocates by pointing out that American is actually more overtly Christian today than it was at the found…
The Crisis of Religious Liberty
Catholics are no strangers to religious discrimination and even persecution in the United States. During the nineteenth century, American Catholics endured much marginalization and even occasional violence. During that time, however, they were not known as great articulators of the principles of religious liberty. The Catholic hierarchy was not yet thinking in those terms. But a hundred years later, much has changed, given the openness to the cat…
Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? A Historical Introduction by John Fea
The Religious Roots of the First Amendment
This book argues that commitments by certain dissenting Protestants to the right of private judgment in matters of Biblical interpretation, an outgrowth of the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, helped promote religious liberty and religious disestablishment in the early modern West. This movement climaxed in the disestablishment of religion in the early American colonies and nation. It describes a continuous strand of this religious th…
Revolutionary and Governor
William Livingston, New York lawyer, revolutionary war leader, and eventual governor of New Jersey, was involved in opposing the Anglican control of the newly established King’s College, forerunner to Columbia University. He was unsuccessful in his immediate battle, but his writings on the importance of a public system of education free from the control of state-sponsored religion became the paradigm for the future. His writings provide an insigh…
