Pentecostal eschatology: Why amillennialism is a better fit
This comparison of premillennial and amillennial readings of key portions of Revelation concludes that, at each point, the amillennial approach uniquely affirms Pentecostal values. With its call for the church to embrace its identity as a Spirit-empowered, prophetic community in Revelation 11, its clear presentation of the finality of judgment in Revelation 14, its emphasis on the presence of the kingdom and realized eschatology in Revelation 20,…
The role of chronic disease in the disparity of influenza incidence and severity between indigenous and non-indigenous Australian peoples during the 2009 influenza pandemic
Higher rates of influenza infection was observed amongst those Indigenous compared to non-Indigenous Australians, and this difference was preserved amongst those with a chronic condition. However, there was no further increase in prevalence of more severe influenza outcomes amongst Indigenous Australians with a chronic condition. This suggests that the prevalence of chronic disease, rather than Indigenous status, affected influenza severity. Othe…
The Spirit in Luke-Acts: Empowering Prophetic Witness
A careful reading of Luke-Acts reveals that there was development in the early church’s understanding of the Spirit’s work. Luke’s pneumatology is different from that of Paul (and John). Unlike Paul, who frequently speaks of the soteriological dimension of the Spirit’s work, Luke consistently portrays the Spirit as a prophetic gift, principally directed toward others and understood as the source of power for service. The soteriological affirmatio…
Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality in Aboriginal Children Admitted to a Tertiary Paediatric Hospital
Background: Aboriginal Australian children have higher rates of mortality at younger ages than non-Aboriginal Australian children. We aimed to (i) calculate the case fatality rate (CFR) for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children admitted to children's hospitals in New South Wales (NSW) and (ii) identify predictors of CFR. Methods: We used a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of data from electronic medical records for in-patient admissions to…
Subsequence in the Pauline Epistles
Paul encourages every believer to experience a bestowal of the Spirit’s power that is theologically, and usually chronologically, distinct from the gift of the Spirit received at conversion. Paul typically describes this post-conversion infusion of spiritual power with the noun χάρισμα (“gift”). Paul speaks of this experience as “the gift of God” (2 Tim 1:6), “the gift in you” (1 Tim 4:14), and a “spiritual gift” (Rom 1:11), and the result of thi…
Transcarceration
A concept that originated with the revisionist social control and new penology literatures of the 1980s and 1990s (Lowman, Menzies, and Palys, 1987), transcarceration refers to the widespread profusion of regulatory institutions, practices, authorities, and human subjects of control systems across and beyond traditional boundaries of state governance. Sociological writings on transcarceration owe their intellectual allegiance, in large part, to M…

Contesting Canadian Citizenship: Historical Readings
Over the past 15 years, the citizenship debate in political and social theory has undergone an extraordinary renaissance. To date, much of the writing on citizenship, within and beyond Canada, has been oriented toward the development of theory, or has concentrated on contemporary issues and examples. This collection of essays adopts a different approach by contextualizing and historicizing the citizenship debate, through studies of various aspect…
Improving immunisation timeliness in Aboriginal children through personalised calendars
Personalised calendars can increase the timeliness of immunisations in Aboriginal children. This simple, low cost tool appears practicable and effective in an Aboriginal community setting in improving early childhood vaccination timeliness and has high potential for local adaptation to suit the needs of diverse communities
Forest Paradigms in Vrat Kathas
Vrat kathas (Hindu women’s domestic literature) present the forest as a place for the reception of religious knowledge. These stories place themselves on par with divinely revealed texts by emulating certain themes found there. The vrat kathas, moreover, present women as ritualists whose actions are more effective than are men’s. While the vrat kathas do seem to “emulate” the male models, they also posit superiority of both the woman as a rituali…

Anti-Charismatic Bias in the Chinese Union Version of the Bible
In this article, Robert Menzies asserts that the translators of the Chinese Union Version of the New Testament deviated from their guiding principles when they translated the verb prophesy (πρoητeω). They did not translate the verb consistently nor did they render it literally. The Union Version translators generally translate references to predictive prophecy with the phrase yu yan (to prophesy) or shuo yu yan (to utter a prophecy). Yet they tr…
Transcarceration
Commonly linked with the revisionist social control and new penology literatures of the 1980s and 1990s, transcarceration refers to the widespread profusion of regulatory organizations, practices, authorities, and subjects across and beyond traditional boundaries of institutional governance in contemporary western societies. The intellectual impetus for the transcarceration concept derived in large part from Michel Foucault's (1977) writings on t…
Of myth and mantra: The slippery taxonomy of printed and oral Vrat Kathas
This paper examines how printed vrat kathas (stories associated with Hindu women's domestic rituals) present categories of myth, mantra and their internal "oral logic." The paper will articulate three things: (1) that vrat kathas deserve to be included in the more elevated category of "myth" because of the way they function within the Hindu women's ritual structure and world-view; (2) these stories are modeled on an understanding of mantra as a s…

Governing Mentalities: The Deportation of ‘Insane’ and ‘Feebleminded’ Immigrants Out of British Columbia From Confederation To World War II
This paper chronicles the role of British Columbian provincial authorities and medical practitioners in engineering the deportation of psychiatrically disordered and cognitively disabled immigrants out of the province between Confederation and 1939. Approximately 750 mental patients were removed from BC during the 1920s and 1930s alone, and more than 5000 had been deported from the country as a whole by the outbreak of World War II. With the use …
