Banking and debunking
The rise of conspiracy culture and the growing influence of conspiracy theories have attracted the attention of scholars from a range of fields. In recent years, Daniel Jolley, Asbjørn Dyrendal, and others have noted the prevalence of conspiracy theories amongst adolescent schoolchildren in Scandinavia and the UK. This article draws on Paulo Freire’s concept of the ‘banking model’ of education to make the case against a ‘debunking’ approach to an…
Revelation 13
The text of the thirteenth chapter of the book of Revelation has provided a template for the development of many radical, political identities over the course of many centuries. The text describes an idolatrous majority, beholden to the power of a tyrannical and pseudo-theocratic ruler. It also describes an embattled minority, who are given an ‘insight’ which allows them to resist the thrall of this ruler. In more recent times, these images have …
Catholic and Protestant conceptions of secular education in Victorian England
In recent years, many scholars have drawn a distinction between procedural and programmatic secularism. Procedural secularists seek to build communities wherein ‘competing concepts of the good life’ are afforded opportunities for expression. Programmatic secularists seek to limit the influence of religion within the public sphere. The 1870 Education Act created a network of Board schools across England and Wales. In accordance with the Cowper-Tem…
Medical Popes’ and ‘Vaccination Protestants’
The anti-vaccination campaign of the late nineteenth century has attracted the attention of historians in recent decades. The campaign against compulsory vaccination for smallpox gained the support of hundreds of thousands of people in Victorian Britain. Many objected to vaccination on scriptural grounds. Many others claimed that it was contradictory to their belief in mesmerism, Swedenborgianism or hydropathy. Still others argued that the Vaccin…
Godly Judaizing and Godly Singularity in Thomas Tillam’s The Temple of Lively Stones
Thomas Tillam was one of the most noted Judaizers of the seventeenth century. Together with Christopher Pooley, he established a community of Jewish-Christians at Lobbach on the outskirts of Heidelberg. He argued for the restoration of the Saturday Sabbath, the rite of circumcision, the separation of meats and many other Jewish ritual practices. Typically, the phenomenon of Godly Judaizing has been ascribed to a wider, Protestant philosemitism, t…
British‐Israelists and the “State of Israeli” in the Twentieth Century
British‐Israelism was a significant movement in British culture in the twentieth century. At its high‐point in the mid‐twentieth century, card‐carrying members of the British‐Israel World Federation numbered in the tens of thousands. Several members of the royal family — including King George VI — publicly declared their adherence to British‐Israelist doctrine. They have shared this belief with lawmakers and generals, poets and television persona…
Soteriological Uncertainty and the Development of Religious Resistance Identities
In 1555, Pope Paul IV issued a bull entitled Cum nimis absurdum. The bull urged Christians to be more muscular in their condemnation of Judaism. It carried some legal injunctions. The Pope ordered
