▼ With thousands of churches dying every year in North America, many pastors have started exploring the concept of
church revitalization. Methodology books are beginning to fill the shelves of Christian bookstores, and as many pastors find themselves at churches in need of revitalization, these resources are valuable tools. Nonetheless, merely reacting to finding oneself in a dying
church will not help stem the tide overall. A movement of revitalization is required if the large number of churches dying each year is going to subside. In order for a biblical movement to be cultivated and begin to flourish, the problem must be identified clearly in a biblical and theological argument, and motivation and zeal must flow from this biblical source. This dissertation seeks to provide a biblical and theological vision for the revitalization of churches for the sake of feeding a movement of
church revitalization. The primary basis for the vision is the nature of churches as worshipers of God, family with one another, and missionaries to the world.
Chapter 1 provides the purpose of this dissertation, the research questions, a definition of
church revitalization. Chapter 2 establishes reasons for revitalization through an exploration of the nature of churches as worshipers of God. Chapter 3 argues for revitalization based upon the nature of churches as family with one another. Chapter 4 demonstrates a vision for revitalization due to the nature of churches as missionaries to the world. Chapter 5 exhibits the biblical evidence for the ongoing necessity of revitalization through an overview of renewal in the Old Testament, Paul’s ministry, and Revelation. Finally, chapter 6 provides implications of this vision concerning legitimate and illegitimate reasons to stop pursuing revitalization and concerning the proper means and models to pursue the revitalization of churches.

Theology in the Ghetto: The Life, Work, and Theology of Nikolajs Plāte (1915-1983), Pastor and Theologian of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Latvian SSR.

▼ Abstract
Nikolajs Plāte (1915-1983) was one of the most prominent and prolific Latvian Lutheran pastors and theologians to carry the mission of the Church through the complicated Soviet period. The aim of this study is to extend a critical understanding of the Church s Soviet totalitarian history through the experience of one man and his silent heroics of Christian resilience and steadfastness in a hostile environment. The narrow focus of the study is on Plāte's life, work, and theology. The broader focus, however, is on church life in general, challenging struggles for survival, and the various means of coping with the emerging realities. As one of the pastoral generation serving the Church during these grueling times, the so-called old guard, Plāte provides a good case study to illustrate the troubled road of a Lutheran clergyman adjusting to a new ghetto-like environment. His intellectual exertions to respond to these challenges are here referred to as theology in the ghetto, where his theological thinking is better viewed in terms of an existential reaction than an academic discipline.
In the first part of this work (I- III), I offer a step-by-step historical narrative of Plāte's life and work. After his early education in the hopeful years of the first independence, the disastrous impact of the Soviet occupation and World War II transformed the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church and pastoral service into something unrecognizable. The primary focus of the study is on Plāte's ministry, first in the Pope, Rinda, and Selga congregations (1945-1953) and, second, in the parish of Rucava (1953-1983). Living under constant Soviet pressure, some painful adjustments had to be made. The work of the Church was increasingly isolated, degraded, and marginalized. Membership declined. The permanent condition of crisis drove people to live in survival mode, and the stagnation of the Church was difficult to reverse. While suffering abuse from the atheistic authorities, Plāte tried to stay active and faithful, to keep working where possible. However, his approach and mentality changed visibly. During this time, his ministry was increasingly dominated by defensive thinking and reactions. Even some antisocial traits became manifest. Thus, in this study I describe and analyze Plāte's inward-looking, conservative mindset, which resulted from the outer totalitarian environment. Only at the end of his life in the beginning of the 1980s was Plāte able to observe some hopeful signs of life for the depressed Church and start looking forward to a better future.
In the later part of the work (IV- V), Plāte s activities at the seminary and his theological production are analyzed. I describe the body of his writings in chronological sequence. Plāte's texts reveal him as a prolific writer who produced several thousand pages of theological material. I identify and examine his direct and indirect remarks and references concerning the Soviet conditions. At that time, when the Bible, faith, and the Church had come under furious attack…

▼ Throughout history churches have been concerned with the sharing of the gospel to those who do not know of the salvation received through Jesus Christ. Through history many churches have innovated liturgical operation using relevant language to reach as many souls as possible.
In this thesis the proposed design of a Pentecostal
Church departs from traditional
Church architectural forms to externalise the building as to reflect the church’s theological standpoint and focus: to be secular attentive. Traditional Christian Churches are designed to fully enclose the gathering of worshipers. This idea is challenged through this thesis by the theological standpoint of the Arise
church, the principal client of the design work of this thesis. Form, envelope, materiality and programme will resolve an architecture specific to arise
church.
This discussion is between the secular and sacred, focused through the design of permeable threshold, seeking to enable a dialogue from the
church to the secular and the secular to the
church.

Philip Melanchthon's Influence on the English Theological Thought During the Early English Reformation.

▼ This study addresses the theological contribution to the English Reformation of Martin Luther s friend and associate, Philip Melanchthon. The research conveys Melanchthon s mediating influence in disputes between Reformation churches, in particular between the German churches and King Henry VIII from 1534 to 1539. The political background to those events is presented in detail, so that Melanchthon s place in this history can be better understood. This is not a study of Melanchthon s overall theology. In this work, I have shown how the Saxons and the conservative and reform-minded English considered matters of conscience and adiaphora. I explore the German and English unification discussions throughout the negotiations delineated in this dissertation, and what they respectively believed about the Church s authority over these matters during a tumultuous time in European history. The main focus of this work is adiaphora, or those human traditions and rites that are not necessary to salvation, as noted in Melanchthon s Confessio Augustana of 1530, which was translated into English during the Anglo-Lutheran negotiations in 1536. Melanchthon concluded that only rituals divided the Roman Church and the Protestants. The five adiaphora issues are the disputed articles on the power of the bishops, the marriage or celibacy of priests, monastic vows, the Mass, and communion in both kinds in the Lord s Supper and to which he made a significant contribution. Melanchthon regarded these five as adiaphora (from the Greek indifferent things ) that is, as matters that were not essential to faith or salvation. Although English theologians never used the word adiaphora, they were familiar with the concept, as will be demonstrated in the historical presentation. These issues are examined within the framework of Scripture and Tradition and the doctrine of justification by faith. The idea of the Scriptures as divine mandate changed the concept of authority in matters of doctrine and practice. From the perspective of both the German Reformers and the reform-minded clergy in England, justification by faith belonged to Scripture and was necessary for salvation. For them, the remainder of Church law (adiaphora), such as ecclesiastical policies, had become secular issues and were not of divine authority. Whereas the Wittenberg Articles were intended as an agreement between the Germans and the English, they did not produce what was hoped for on adiaphora matters, so that the parties could formulate a practice they could defend against the pope s General Council. They did agree on what was necessary for salvation. The disputed articles in which adiaphora was a question were left open for further negotiations. – – – - The method employed in this study is historical-genetic; that is, the chapters are arranged in chronological order, and Melanchthon s contribution to the English Reformation is viewed in the historical context in which the documents were produced. The chapters begin with the supremacy crisis in England (1534) and end…

▼ Faith and spirituality widely exist in the virtual world of the Internet, spanning the continuum of expression from the traditional to the abstract. This religious presence online includes every religion, and included Christianity. Whether one believes the Christian church is capable of existing online has much to do with one's perspective of the Internet and one's definition of church. The author will address the use of the Internet to build Christian community and establish the church in a virtual environment. Arguments for and against the church online will answer the question, "Is church online truly the church?"

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to attempt to answer the question of whether a relationship exists between a historic
church congregation’s attitude towards it building and history and its pursuit of preservation efforts. The research focuses on one specific element in the field of preservation –
church buildings – and the way in which subjective preservation goals have been conceived and implemented by spiritual communities in Georgia. It is hoped that this research will prove helpful not only for those that are personally involved with preserving historic churches, but to the communities that sustain them and to the general public, to whom they serve as important cultural landmarks within our national landscape.

▼ This study examined how incivility is expressed in an informal
church organization and the impact relationships among those in the organization have on incivility. The researcher had staff members of the
church complete journals. The researcher also observed the staff for one week and then conducted interviews based on the observations and journals. The researcher then coded data and grouped it into overarching themes. Themes that emerged about displays of incivility included: interrupting or not respecting another's ideas and yelling and gossiping behind each other's backs. The researcher examined these themes in terms of the relationships that exist among these coworkers. Results demonstrated that the staff did not frequently escalate incivility because they valued relationships and were aware of external causes of uncivil behavior. Reasons for not escalating incivility were then explored and connected to existing incivility research. Finally, suggestions for further study and practical applications are offered.

▼ This thesis argues that Dietrich Bonhoeffer understands the church as a pneumatological and eschatological community in space and time. In understanding the church thus, the thesis contends that Bonhoeffer's ecclesial thought is built on pneumatological and apocalyptically eschatological foundations that give rise to a unique methodological approach to ecclesiological description – an approach that enables Bonhoeffer to proffer a genuinely theological ecclesiological account in which both divine and human agency are held together through an account of God the Holy Spirit: both God's own being and the being of the church's sociohistorical or human empirical form are spoken of appropriately with due concern for appropriate dogmatic ordering and proportionality in ecclesiological description. Critically, the thesis considers this pneumatological and eschatological 'both/and' ecclesiological methodology therapeutic to an endemic 'either/or' problematic present in contemporary approaches to ecclesiological discourse: that of attending in an account of the church either to the sociohistorical or human empirical church-community 'ethnographically', or to the life of God 'dogmatically'; and to each (problematically) at the expense of the other. The thesis suggests, therefore, that Bonhoeffer's ecclesial thought breaks open a necessary 'third way' in ecclesiological description between the Scylla of 'ethnographic' ecclesiology and the Charybdis of 'dogmatic' ecclesiology, and thereby establishes a programmatic theological grammar for ecclesiology per se. To substantiate these claims, chapter 1 diagnoses the endemic 'either/or' problematic in relation to contemporary ecclesiological literature. Chapter 2 then identifies the pneumatological and apocalyptically eschatological foundations of Bonhoeffer's ecclesial thought. Chapter 3 articulates how Bonhoeffer's 'both/and' ecclesiological methodology is built on these pneumatological and apocalyptically eschatological foundations and serves to treat the endemic 'either/or' problematic therapeutically. Chapters 4 and 5 together then outline the way in which Bonhoeffer's pneumatological and eschatological 'both/and' ecclesiological methodology further enables him to account for the socio-historical or human empirical church-community in a genuinely theological way. In both chapters, Bonhoeffer's theological conceptualization of spatio-temporality is explicated to demonstrate how, to account for the church's being in space and time, it is necessary to speak theologically about empirical phenomenology, both in accordance with and as a further exemplification of the 'both/and' ecclesiological methodology of Bonhoeffer's ecclesial thought.

▼ This work is concerned with the divergent opinions on
church government in the Anglican and Methodist Churches. At the 1999 Methodist
Church Conference, at which there was a resolution to adopt the episcopal system of
church government, the ‘laity’ admitted that they lacked adequate understanding about the systems of
church government. Also, a claim that was made by the Methodist
Church Ghana during and after the discussions to adopt episcopacy was that her episcopacy is more biblical. De-spite this claim, a former presiding bishop appealed at the 2002 Methodist
Church Conference that the
church considers the Anglican system where the bishop serves until retirement at the age of seventy. In the choice of titles, both denominations call their pastors Rev. Minister. In addition, the Anglican
Church uses deacon, priest and bishop whereas the Methodist
Church Ghana uses deacon, presbyter and bishop. Fur-thermore, the phrase ‘lord bishop’ is erroneously used in the Methodist
Church Gha-na. Also, after 2002, discussions seem to suggest that some people in the Methodist
Church Ghana prefer the federal system. It is obvious that the Methodist
Church is not certain of the system of
church government to practice.
This uncertainty and lack of adequate knowledge about the systems of
church government make it necessary for a study to be conducted to find out the nature and origins of the organisational structure of the
church. The study involves a survey of the New Testament and
Church History for the origins, nature and de-velopment of
church government.
The exegetical method is used to find out the nature and origins of
church government. A survey of
church tradition is also made to find out the development of
church government through the ages. Findings from the study show that people in decision-making bodies lack adequate knowledge of the nature of
church government. Also, the NT does not prescribe a particular pattern of
church govern-ment. Proponents of the various types of
church government give biblical basis to their type of
church government. The pattern of
church government in the Method-ist
Church Ghana is biblical but not more biblical than that of other denominations. The bishop in the New Testament is head of a congregation. Evidence even points to a college of presbyters, and the word ‘presbyter’ was sometimes used synony-mously for bishop. There was no record of a bishop serving a term of office. This may be due to the fact that the bishop in the New Testament may well be the equiv-alent of a pastor of a congregation today. From the traditions of the two churches, the title bishop came to be applied to the head of a cluster of churches (diocese). The priest in the Anglican
Church is the same as the presbyter in the Methodist
Church. The title Reverend originated in the 18th century for people worthy of honour. The title lord bishop is not used for every bishop of the Anglican
Church and cannot be applied to Methodists bishops.

▼ This dissertation examines how the encyclical Rerum Novarum was Pope Leo XIII's answer to the crisis posed to Catholicism by modern ideologies, particularly by socialism. By looking at Leo's intellectual and international influences, the dissertation establishes how and why Rerum Novarum was developed. It then looks to institutional reactions to the encyclical, and to the Catholic laity, to determine what effects the encyclical had on justifications for protest and resistance in the political and economic spheres in the Irish province of Ulster and the Prussian Polish province of Poznania. The dissertation examines the intellectual tradition of Thomism which underlies Leo's papacy and writings and establishes how Thomism serves as the foundations for Rerum Novarum. It then looks to Ireland and Prussia as two of Leo's main international concerns and demonstrates how his interests in political developments form his practical solution to the problems in society as a counterargument to the vision of society offered by socialism. Rerum Novarum is then analysed, to show how Leo XIII used traditional Thomistic principles to solve modern problems, and to establish where the Irish and Prussian situations influenced the encyclical's development. Finally, the dissertation examines responses to Rerum Novarum. It looks to a case study of the lower-class laity to show how the Thomistic principles presented by Leo in Rerum Novarum shaped the justifications of protest and resistance in Ulster and Poznania. By examining the Catholic Church from the pope to the laity, this dissertation demonstrates how Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum Novarum provided Catholics with a way to legitimize immoral actions within the scope of Catholic morality. In this way, Rerum Novarum changed how the laity viewed their status or participation in Catholicism, initiating a new type of lay Catholicism which shaped the Catholic Church well into the twenty-first century.

▼ The prospects of the church in Britain have been defined by an enduring narrative of regression for many decades, but this is changing. The landscape of Christianity in postChristendom British society is undergoing a seismic shift. The presence and influence of old and established institutions are undoubtedly waning, but many new and innovative groups are emerging to keep the heritage of the church alive in the modern era. Recent research suggests that, against the receding tide of faith and practice, new theories of growth and revitalization are beginning to emerge. This growth has been largely attributed to the formation of new churches and Christian groups, especially in some major urban areas in England. Using empirical research methods from the qualitative research tradition, together with a review of other secondary data sources, this thesis investigates the presence of new churches in the city of Glasgow, in Scotland to add to the growing body of knowledge on this emerging trend in contemporary British Christianity. The study discovered among other things that, 110 new churches have been created in Glasgow in just sixteen years. It indicates further that the composition of the church in contemporary Scotland and Britain in general, has altered significantly in recent years in terms of demographic and theological diversity, worship practices and social engagement.

▼ New Zion Baptist Church is a small Southern Baptist church in rural Northeast Texas. The church has been stagnant for approximately three decades. This project is a record of the journey that the pastor and people of NZBC have traveled towards revitalization. The researcher began this project intent on implementing a strategic plan. However about half-way through the process, after evaluating the culture of NZBC, an intentional shift in methodology occurred. NZBC is a small church and therefore not a rationally structured, task driven, goal oriented organization. Instead it is a relational, biological and organic community. Therefore the process of revitalization was adjusted to reflect this reality. This researcher has concluded that in a world informed by quantum thought, small churches should embrace this orientation rather than change it. In doing so, they can become strategic mission posts in a postmodern world.

▼ The purpose of this study is to suggest a church model that can raise up young adults based on a case study focusing on Busan Happy Church, which has experienced a great young adult revival amidst the reality of a decline in Korean churches. Korea has become an aging society due to a decreasing birthrate, and the Korean church is aging more rapidly than society is because young people continue to leave church. This researcher investigates reasons for the rapid decrease in the number of young adults in the Korean church, analyzing both the social and theological aspects in order to highlight the seriousness of this problem. In addition, the researcher examines the reason that existing and newly founded churches, which have a goal of ministering to the younger generation, are not able to meet the needs of that generation. Additionally, he will determine root causes of the issue through an in-depth analysis. Finally, in an effort to address such issues, the researcher will suggest a possible method of raising up young adults by performing a case study on Busan Happy Church.

▼ This thesis examines the contributions that emerging churches make to their parent communities’ understanding of church. As a work in practical theology, it is focuses on the theology that is deeply embedded within the everyday language, symbols, and practices of ordinary individuals and communities. Thus, the research in this thesis centres on two concrete emerging communities and employs qualitative methods to examine and analyse the actual practices, values, and beliefs of community participants—treating the data generated through the investigation of these emerging churches as theological material. The thesis is structured in six chapters, beginning in chapter one with a preliminary sketch of the wider emerging church phenomenon, a brief account of the researcher’s own earlier experiences with emerging communities, and an initial overview of the research already conducted on emerging church. Following this introduction, the thesis outlines the research methodology in chapter two, taking an approach to practical theology that moves beyond the prevalent models of correlation and recognizes the embodied nature of theology. Identified in this thesis as ‘theology in the vernacular’ or ‘local theologies’, this approach provides a mechanism for bringing two emerging churches into an impactful encounter with their parent communities’ understanding of church. This encounter unfolds through the remaining four chapters of the thesis. Chapter three provides the ecclesial context for this research by outlining the history and development of emerging church, and locating the two emerging communities within that narrative. Chapters four and five offer an in-depth portrayal and analysis of these two communities by depicting their ecclesial contexts and historical development, their weekly patterns, their physical and online spaces, their worship gatherings, the profiles and personal narratives of their participants, and the core practices of these communities. The findings from these separate sites of research are brought together in chapter six, where five key ecclesiological features are drawn from the common patterns present in these emerging churches. These are: (1) the prevalence of an ecclesial eclecticism, (2) the carving out of a space for theological discussion and intellectual enquiry, (3) a resolute fondness for their local cities, (4) the vital nature of the weekly gathering, and (5) a robustly verbal orientation in the worship gatherings. By bringing these five ecclesiological features into an encounter with the parent tradition of these emerging churches in chapter six, the contribution that these emerging churches are making to their parent communities understanding of church is explored. This thesis argues that these emerging communities are offering their parent communities two alternative ways of understanding church. The first is an understanding of church as a space for ecclesial borrowing and blending—which impacts on the formulation of a community’s ecclesial identity. The second is an understanding of…

▼ This research is a comparative evaluation between
leadership in business and leadership in the
Church to discover
principles of Christ-like leadership that would help leaders lead
effectively in any environment.
Church leaders distrust business
leadership and business leaders cannot see any relevance that the
Church has towards business. This research seeks to challenge this
thinking. To consider this the following hypothesis was made: If
business and
Church leaders are going to be exceptional in their
leadership, and live to their full leadership potential, they will
have to be faithful to, develop and live by Christ-like leadership
principles emerging out of the character, life, teaching and
leadership of Jesus Christ – principles that transcend the
differentiation often made between secular and sacred. Towards this
end descriptive research was carried out by drawing on a number of
sources. First, the aim was to determine the praxis by considering
the leadership practices of respected leaders in business and the
Church. It was discovered that there are definite crossover points
with common understandings of what it takes to be an exceptional
leader. It was also noted, however, that there are particular areas
that relate exclusively to spiritual leadership. Thereafter, theory
was considered by looking at literature that has been written about
business and
Church leadership. Again there was common ground,
which led to the description of three circles of leadership: the
inner circle, the middle circle and the outer circle. The next
chapter took a look at the Gospels, with particular reference to
Mark’s Gospel. Here principles were discovered that have a direct
or indirect bearing on leadership. Finally, quantitative research
was carried out to test praxis and theory. To accomplish this,
questionnaires were sent to leaders that hold or have held
leadership responsibility in business and the
Church. The overall
result was that 73% of leaders said that there was no substantial
difference between leading in business and leading in the
Church.
However, going deeper into the results, it was seen that there are
differences in emphasis between business and
Church leadership. In
conclusion, no changes were made to the hypothesis. The spiritual
dimensions of leadership as expressed throughout the dissertation
recognise that Christian leaders, in business and
Church, have the
same Spirit indwelling them to help them become exceptional
Christ-like leaders.

or indirect bearing on leadership. Finally, quantitative research
was carried out to test praxis and theory. To accomplish this,
questionnaires were sent to leaders that hold or have held
leadership responsibility in business and the
Church. The overall
result was that 73% of leaders said that there was no substantial
difference between leading in business and leading in the
Church.
However, going deeper into the results, it was seen that there are
differences in emphasis between business and
Church leadership. In
conclusion, no changes were made to the hypothesis. The spiritual
dimensions of leadership as expressed throughout the dissertation
recognise that Christian leaders, in business and
Church, have the
same Spirit indwelling them to help them become exceptional
Christ-like leaders.

▼ The main focus of this research is the unrelenting decline in both membership and attendance that began to affect the
church in Inglewood in the 1960s. The central argument is that after a very strong Christian influence in its establishment, growth and development, the town of Inglewood began to experience overwhelming changes which became a big challenge for the
church. The overall impact of these, social, cultural, economic, technological and demographic changes which came in discontinuous and unpredictable pattern was to alienate and fracture the long standing mutually symbiotic relationship between the
church and the community.
The town became a victim of progress as business and industry restructured and moved to the more affluent towns of New Plymouth and Hawera. population shifts occurred as employment opportunities and business prospects became limited in Inglewood. At the same time more and more young people left the town in search of tertiary education and employment opportunities elsewhere. The
church became a victim of these continuous demographic shifts. A non growing community is an aging community and an aging community creates an aging
church. This has been a major challenge for the
church in Inglewood.
Further to the transient nature of the town after 1960, this research identifies a number of conflicts, too many churches in a small town and the decision made by the churches to close down preaching places outside of the town as some of the causative factors unique to Inglewood.
The data used in the research is obtained through a triangulation of archival documentary analysis, individual interviews and a questionnaire survey that are brought together in a trilogy
The research recommends merger of churches to leave three churches and a change of approach from a spectator model to a more conversation based model.

▼ One of the concerns of the modern Christian
church and dissident groups is to
ensure that the
Church's fundamental doctrines, leadership, women's ministries
and religious practices conform with the early apostolic
church teachings.
In this study the writer offers a comprehensive and detailed evaluation of the
modern
church in the light of the early
church. The case of the modern Seventhday
Adventist (SDA)
Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and
worldwide is examined and compared, basing its survey on numerous published
and unpublished documents from a combined use of primary, secondary
materials and individual statements.
Setting the early history of the SDA
Church within the religious context of
nineteenth-century America, the writer describes how SDA doctrines, leadership,
women's ministries and religious practices link with those beliefs and practices in
the early apostolic
church, showing whether the SDA
Church has departed from
the early apostolic church’s Biblical, timeless principles or not.
Several pertinent issues however have stirred up as much controversy in recent
years within the Adventist dissident groups as that of the women’s ministries in
the
church, the righteousness by faith doctrine, the monarchical leadership, and
various religious practices. Nevertheless, in the light of the early apostolic
teaching, some enlightenment has been achieved, and several critical
accusations from dissident groups were illuminated and confirmed.The accusation regarding the deterioration of Biblical doctrines appears not to
have been confirmed by the Biblical evaluation and the lifestyle of the SDA
believers. Rather, concerning this issue, it is confirmed that in the DRC and
worldwide, the SDA
Church has not departed from the fundamental doctrines of
the early Apostolic
church.

▼ Since Kelley’s (1972) Why Conservative Churches Are Growing, scholars have
examined the relationship between congregational strictness and growth. This paper
seeks to further develop the strict
church thesis by suggesting that strictness leads to
growth when it addresses salient issues. Using binary logistic regression to analyze data from the 2000 Faith Communities Today survey, I find that, while overall strictness
continues to be positively associated with congregational growth, only prohibitions that
are salient within a religious tradition have an impact on congregational growth.
Therefore, this study supports a more nuanced understanding of strictness. Strictness
does not always lead to congregational growth. Instead, growth is contingent upon an
issue’s salience.

▼ Gustavo Gutiérrez is considered the father of Latin American liberation theology. Walter Rauschenbusch is considered the father of the Social Gospel in the United States. Although their circumstances differed greatly, both theologians made similar contributions to social Christianity, even though Gutiérrez does not seem to recognize it fully. Gutiérrez asserts that a theology of liberation must interpret the gospel in light of both the current reality and the values of the oppressed and then must use this theology to attack the social structures of oppression. This thesis asserts that Rauschenbusch did just that with his social gospel. Thus, the social gospel is a theology of liberation. The comparison between the two theologies is made by analyzing how each thinker centers his theology on the concept of the Kingdom of God. Once the centrality of the Kingdom is posited for both men, their understandings of three doctrines - soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology - are examined. Each theologian relates these three doctrines to the Kingdom in similar ways. After each system is discussed individually, explicit comparisons are made. The study demonstrates the methodological and doctrinal similarities between Rauschenbusch and Gutiérrez, but also notes the practical shortcomings of both theologies and how these failures are essentially linked to doctrinal formulations.

▼ This dissertation explores the relationship between Ambrogio Catarino's doctrine of a pre-fall covenant between God and Adam and reformed theology's somewhat later, similar doctrine (the 'covenant of works'). Catarino first advanced the notion of a pre-fall covenant in 1532 in order to provide a rationale for humankind's participation in the guilt and corruption ensuing from Adam's first sin. He argued that the covenant, rather than some natural or real (biological) relationship to Adam, established humankind's moral solidarity with Adam, and thus humankind's culpability for Adam's transgression and experience of the penalties for the same.

▼ This thesis seeks to provide a comprehensive study of the origins and early careers of the bishops consecrated to five dioceses – Greenland, the Faeroes, Orkney, and Skálholt and Hólar in Iceland – during the period 1230–1470. All five of these bishoprics belonged to the Norwegian ecclesiastical province, and all were situated in the skattlönd, the overseas territories of the Norwegian crown. The particular aim of this study is to apply methods of prosopographical analysis to establish what the 'profile' of a typical bishop was in these five dioceses, and what the standard career path was for an aspiring bishop. It does this by analysing various attributes of these prelates, such as their family backgrounds, social position, education, career path within the church, affiliations to monastic orders, and royal and papal service. Moreover it explores how the profile of a typical bishop evolved over time and how it varies both among these five bishoprics and between them as a group on the one hand and the five Norwegian mainland dioceses on the other. In addition the thesis also considers if and how these developments relate to the ways in which the system for the appointment of bishops changed during the Late Middle Ages, and also relate them to contemporary political developments in Scandinavia areas. Foremost among these phenomena were the staðamál conflict in Iceland, which permanently changed the balance of power between church and state in the country, the formation of the Kalmar Union and the irruption of English merchants and fishermen into Icelandic waters, all of which had drastic effects upon the Church in these far-flung territories of Latin Christendom.

▼ This thesis considers the financial development of the Catholic Church in Scotland between 1772 and circa 1890. In 1772, the Church was heavily reliant on external, normally insufficient sources of income. The dangers of this over-reliance became clear when the progress of the French Revolution destroyed the Church's foreign financial bases and saw the loss of its continental colleges. Consequently, and for the first time, the Church turned to the Catholic laity for financial support. This represented a significant cultural shift for a community which was unaccustomed to providing such support. But recognising the Church's financial needs, the laity responded generously to this appeal and in many places raised additional funds to support their priests. Very quickly this financial necessity was subsumed into a larger narrative of religious duty and idealism, so that to financially support the Church was now also crucial to an individual's spiritual and temporal well-being. By the early decades of the nineteenth century, financial voluntarism was well embedded in the Catholic community and ordinary Catholics had assumed responsibility for financing many of the Church's activities. As the century progressed, and as the Church responded to new pressures caused by famine migration, the bishops began to exert greater control over the Church's financial life. The rise of ultramontanism within the Church, with its focus on the parish church, ensured that the local church also became the locus for many of these new fundraising efforts. A sign of the Church's increasing maturation came in 1878 when Rome restored the episcopal hierarchy, which had a number of financial implications as the bishops sought to come to terms with ordinary ecclesiastical government - something that had been lacking for nearly three centuries. By c. 1890, most of the difficulties of these years had been resolved and the Church had put in place financial infrastructures that, in many ways, remain in place even today.

▼ Sufficient work has been produced by scholars on the Lumpa Church. However, very little is known about important church leaders who were instrumental in the development of the church.Most of the studies have focused on the founder of the church, "Prophetess" Alice Lenshina, at the
expense of subordinate leaders in the church. There is no doubt that some of the leaders who worked under the prophetess played a significant role in the development of the breakaway church. In view of this fact, this study is intended to examine the life history and role of one of the leaders, Alfred kapele Nkonde. Through this study, which is the first of its kind in the church, scholars would be afforded an opportunity to learn about some of the most important events in the church before and
after the ban of the church in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) on the eve of the country's independence in 1964. This study demonstrates Nkonde's contribution to the development of the church. It is argued that he was both a key figure in the church and very influential person.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the Catholic Church in the 2011 tripartite or general elections. The study was conducted in Lusaka and Mansa Districts of Zambia. The sample consisted of thirty (30) respondents. Twenty (20) of these were male and ten (10) were female. Three (3) of the thirty respondents were key informants. The remaining twenty-seven (27) respondents consisted of 5 non-Catholic, 7 Caritas Zambia workers, 10 clergy men and 5 politicians. The study used qualitative research design. The study was a narrative case study. Purposive sampling technique was used. Interview guides were employed in the collection of primary data from the respondents. In-depth interviews were conducted to help the researcher in getting the much needed data. Theme and content analysis structured around the research questions were used to analyse qualitative data. Employing this type of analysis technique, the researcher adhered to the following steps: Firstly, the researcher perused the collected data through interviews and identified information that was relevant to the research questions. Irrelevant information not related to the specific objectives and research questions was separated from relevant information. Secondly, the researcher identified themes from the respondents’ description of their experiences. All material relevant to a certain theme was placed together. Thirdly, verbatims were used to present the findings. Verbatims reflect the deep thoughts and feelings of the respondents on what their convictions were concerning the role of the Catholic Church in the 2011 tripartite elections. Results suggest that the Catholic Church played a number of roles in the 2011 elections. These roles included: the monitoring of elections, the provision of checks and balances on governance issues through collaboration with the Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ), Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ), among others. The findings also indicate that through Caritas Zambia, the Catholic Church recruited and trained 10 850 election monitors; provided civic education to the general public on their rights and duties as citizens and collaborated with seven other Civil Society Election Coalition (CSEC) members. Results also suggest that the Catholic Church presented to the nation a true reflection of the will of the people in the election as attested to by the Electoral Commission of Zambia’s announcement of the final results in September, 2011. The following were the recommendations: The Church should continue to play the critical role of advocacy on matters of social, economic and political developments in Zambia, the top leadership of the three Church Mother Bodies comprising priests, bishops, pastors, among others, should continue playing a non-partisan role in the political field. Finally, the Church in general should continue to play the critical role of providing checks and balances on matters of governance to any sitting Government with impartiality.

▼ Ecclesial ontology treats the origin, nature, existence, and destiny of the church. In the thought of T. F. Torrance, ecclesiology is derived from the doctrine of divine perfection. The church is given to participate in the fullness of God through the person of Jesus Christ. By framing his account in this way, Torrance issues a correction to the ecclesiological reductionism commonplace in the modern ecumenical movement. However, Torrance's particular construal of the Christ-church relation must be challenged. In his account, Christology is materially disproportioned in such a way that it threatens to absorb ecclesiological categories. Furthermore, Torrance undermines his ecumenical project, in which ecclesial unity is grounded in the mystery of the incarnation, by suggesting that the “mystery of iniquity” can prevent the actualization of this unity in space and time. Torrance's ecclesiology provides a rich resource for future constructive accounts to draw on, provided these accounts refine and revise said ecclesiology.

▼ When we want to talk about the religious policy of the Tudors, it is very important for us to understand what kinds of changes went on within the apparatus of the
Church at the beginning of the 16th century. It is obvious that these changes or the need of these changes were the result of a long process. The historians think that there was a pre-reformation period and the source of the need of these changes can be earsily connected to it. The different cultural movements, which can be connected to the names of, for example, Erasmus or John Wycliff, had a great influence on the reformers of the 16th century...

▼ More U.S. adults are members of Historically Black Churches than the combined total of those connected to Jewish, Muslim, Mormon, Buddhist, Orthodox, Jehovah's Witness, and Hindu religious centers (Pew 2008). In addition to its considerable reach, Historically Black Churches have long been a pillar of the Black community. The impact of the Black
Church is evident, not just in areas of religiosity, but firmly embedded in issues of economics and politics (Ellison and Sherkat 1995; Frazer 1964; Lincoln and Mamiya 1990; Morris 1984). Given their prominent engagement in spiritual and secular matters, and vital positionality as cultural symbols of blackness, effective implementation and delivery of marketing communication is an imperative for African American Churches. The purpose of this case study is to examine the ways in which the tools of marketing communication can be utilized within the context of a down economy by Historically Black Churches as a means of promoting their symbolic value and advancing their spiritually and secularly-based agendas. (Thomas, 2012) The average African American
Church, regardless of denomination, has financial difficulty even during good economic conditions. However, during this recent recession, the African-American
Church is facing huge challenges to survive. African-American houses of worship will need effective marketing and advertising plans to remain culturally relevant and compete for stable congregations. This case study explores the importance of culture, tradition, ethnic foundations, and importance of Historically Black Churches in diverse communities. These elements, in conjunction with results from observations of a local community , and a input from a minister , used in the development of a marketing and advertising framework that can be employed by Historically Black Churches. The framework also incorporates successful and transferable marketing communication methodologies used by other non-profit organizations. However, the framework can be altered to accommodate warranted contextual factors.

▼ This dissertation analyzes the role of English Catholics as a religious group in post-Reformation Europe and as vital actors within the ideological and political history of England during the late Tudor and early Stuart periods. Whereas previous studies of post-Reformation English Catholics have explored their place within the English religious landscape or looked at the political activities within a particular region or family, this study examines the political implications of both the worship life of Catholics and the religious thought of Catholic clergy and laity throughout England. It does this by drawing on illegally-published Catholic books, unpublished gentry manuscripts, clerical letters, government documents, and records of local ecclesiastical courts. From these sources, this study shows that from the reign of Elizabeth I, communication networks existed between Catholic clerics and laypeople, especially between the gentry from disparate parts of the kingdom. These networks, in turn, enabled the establishment of distinctive and consistent worship patterns among English Catholics, influenced both by the English Protestant context in which they developed as well as the changes that came from Catholic reformers on the Continent. Communication between clerics and laypeople also facilitated the spread of ideas and principles that drew them together. Among their beliefs was a sense of Christian persecution peculiar to England because of its connection to ideas about the ancient constitution. They also expressed a strong opposition to both the English Protestant
church and its ministry as heretical, false, and hypocritical, a position far exceeding criticism of puritans by their English Protestant brethren. This study concludes that both the religious practices and the ideological principles of post-Reformation English Catholicism implied a discernable, if divided, political engagement with the English Protestant state and
church. At the same time, English Catholics practiced a distinctive version of Catholicism in the post-Reformation world, a religion shaped by its interactions with Protestantism as much as from reform movements within. The members of this underground
church as a whole, therefore, played a more significant role in shaping religious politics in pre-revolutionary England than most narratives of the period suggest.
