The American Peace Movement’s Use of Religious Influence and “The Pulpit” as a Public Relations Strategy in the Early 1800s
In response to calls for more public relations historical research in sectors outside business and before the 20th century, this research examines the communication efforts of American peace societies from the early to mid-1800s. It finds that peace societies demonstrated strategic intent, honored human agency, and employed full-time public relations practitioners. In addition, this research documents a nondenominational reform movement applying …
The Aids Memorial Quilt as Radical Public History
Radical public history relies on reflective practices that include formal and experientially acquired knowledge within a broad interdisciplinary framework. Using material culture methodologies from history and anthropology, we present the AIDS Memorial Quilt as an example of radical public history in action. We recount the history and meaning of the Quilt and share quantitative survey information based on college students’ responses to six Quilt …
The Shape of the Pauline Churches
This chapter considers what the Pauline epistles reveal about the nature of the Pauline churches and to this end looks at a range of issues: their genus; their formation; their composition; how Paul configures their identity; their leadership structure; their rituals; their meetings; the kinds of places in which they met. The discussion reflects the state of contemporary scholarship on the Pauline communities, but it also seeks to make a fresh co…

Does Awaiting ‘New Heavens and a New Earth’ (2 Pet 3.13) Mean Abandoning the Environment
This article assesses the environmental implications of the hope of a new heaven/s and new earth as we find it expressed in 2 Peter 3.5-13 and Revelation 21.1-22.5. Both texts present the environmentally problematic scenario in which the present creation is dissolved prior to the establishment of the new created order. It is argued, though, that the hope for a new cosmic creation in these passages is not wholly lacking in environmental appeal. ‘W…
Freedom from advertising
There have been several books about E.W. Scripps and his newspaper empire over the past 70 years, and the latest is Stoltzfus’s Freedom From Advertising, about the Chicago Daybook, an adless newspaper which began in 1911 and by 1917 closed its doors. Freedom From Advertising follows the title theme and treats the Daybook as a case study in what a newspaper could become when it isn’t beholden to advertisers for its economic support. By selecting a…
The Ancient Church at Megiddo
This article discusses the recently reported discovery of an ancient Christian structure at Megiddo in northern Israel and the controversy surrounding it. It begins with an account of the archaeological finds, in particular the mosaic floor and the inscriptions in it. A summary of the debate over dating follows, which focuses on the excavator's dating and the grounds on which it is reached, and challenges to that chronology. The rest of the artic…

‘Where is the Promise of his Coming?’ The Complaint of the Scoffers in 2 Peter 3.4
A close analysis of the report of 2 Pet 3.4, paying attention to its precise wording, and a careful reading of the author's response to it in the verses that follow show that the prevailing interpretation of the scoffers' eschatological mockery is unsound. The target of the scoffers' criticism was not so much the parousia of Jesus as the OT promise of a final, eschatological irruption underlying it. Their scepticism was founded neither on the fai…

Christianity at Corinth
First Corinthians provides a unique glimpse info the life of a young Christian community in a Greco-Roman environment during the early decades of emerging Christianity. It supplies a range and richness of information about the early church that is unparalleled by any other New Testament document. Much effort has gone into reconstructing Christianity at Corinth; more recently, attention has focused on the Corinthian community itself. The scholarly…
A Fifteen-Year Census of Gender and Journal Productivity
A census of refereed articles (N=6,535) in ten primary journalism and mass communication journals from 1986 to 2000 indicates that over the time period, women produced 28.6% of the journal scholarship. In recent years (1996 to 2000) women have produced 38.5% of journal scholarship. Women were found to collaborate on research at rates similar to men. Among women, assistant professors produced the most journal scholarship. “Non-faculty” women produ…

Calvin’s View of Natural Knowledge of God
For Calvin, the relation between God’s revelation in the sensus divinitatis and God’s revelation in his works is not reducible to the distinction between internal and external revelation. Adams’ contextual interpretation of Calvin’s treatment of the natural knowledge of God in the Institutes illumines some the subtle complexity of Calvin’s argument – an argument which is informed both philosophically and biblically. Both Calvin’s positive evaluat…
