From: Robert Krapohl Does anyone out there have any knowledge of a new religious movement (NRM) called "The Rose and the Cross" or the "Order of the Solar Temple." This group is (was?--see below) supposedly from Quebec and led by a gentleman named Luc Jouret. A religious history prof at our school is interested on some background concerning this group. I'm afraid I'm clueless--none of our reference books on NRMs begin to touch this topic. According to this professor's secretary, the group was in the news recently because they committed mass suicide in Switzerland. I apologize to those in the know if my facts are not straight. Despite being a librarian, I have heard nothing about Jouret or his flock (and I don't have a T.V. either so no late breaking CNN coverage for me!).

RE: Update on last bulletin, "Raid in Papua New Guinea" Summary of last bulletin: In Papua New Guinea Rascals armed with home- made guns invaded a village where Wycliffe Translators have an outpost. They took hostage everyone gathered in a church for worship, then ravaged, destroyed, and stole, from the houses of the villagers. Some of the village men managed to escape and took on the rascals with their bows and arrows. For 1 1/2 hours they fought. Two rascals were wounded by the villagers' arrows, and the rascals escaped. The two injured men are reported dead, and the rascals were reportedly on their way back to the village for revenge. The following UPDATE just in... This message was passed through three radio stations, two phone calls, and two emails to get to STN. (Note: The full text of the information I recv'd is large, and includes many details, too long to send in a bulletin. This is serious stuff! ) "For several days there was no radio contact out of where the raid took place, thus the silence and lack of information. Thanks for your prayers. Nearly everyone has fled in fear, some by plane and some hiding in the bush. The "rascals" have not yet returned to wreak their havoc. The Kaluli translator feels there may yet be trouble. One villager, in an attempt to recover some items, was bitten by a death addler. No word if she lived or not, but at last word, there was no anti-venom available in the area.The Kaluli people recognized some of the rascals as men from a long-time rival tribe. Continue to pray for safety for the Kaluli people, and peace of mind for the Kalulis and translators with their two children. They (missionaries of concern are safely in the mission center in Papua New Guinea at the moment." From: HISTEC-2 (10/19/94) To: HISTEC-2BAYLOREDU , Subject:PBS Program on 19th C. Spiritualism From: Robert Krapohl For your information: FROM THE H-NET GROUP PBS is broadcasting an interesting program on spiritualism as part of their " American Experience" series; it's being put on this Tuesday night in my area. Here's the write-up from the PBS program guide: "Telegrams From the Dead >From 1850 to 1890, spiritualism affected the nation as no other social fad ever had. Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Horace Greeley, Frederick Douglass, Cornelius Vanderbilt, senators, slaves, royalty, scientists, judges, washerwomen and preachers all followed the "discoveries" of the spirit world as "revealed" through thousands of mediums, most of whom where female. It was a movement in which religion and politics intersected. There was a complex relationship between spiritualism and social reform. Divorce, vegetariansism, women's sufferage, anarchism, universal government and the eight-hour work day all became issues linked to the spiritualists. By 1880, as one spectacular fraud after another was revealed, the movement began to fade; the great age of spiritualism was over." Looks like there should be something here for just about everyone.

However, I was wondering how many of you teach, or have taught, college-level course(s) on Evangelicalism (its history, theology, or both)? A few years ago I had the privilege of stumbling into a sabbatical replacement position at a small Catholic college that afforded me the opportunity of teaching a course entitled, "The American Evangelical Tradition." Although I did not design the course, I was able to use my own approach while teaching it. Typically, I would introduce the course by emphasizing the diversity of American Evangelicalism and then I progressed on a historical analysis of this admittedly amorphous movement (is it Timothy Smith who called Evangelicalism a "mosaic?"). I examined the major convictions of the Protestant Reformers, the Puritans, Whitefield and Wesley, the "Evangelical Empire" of the 19th century, Finney, the Holiness Movement, and so on. I used texts by Smith, William McLoughlin, Marsden, and Hatch. Two of my favorites were _Women Called to Witness_ by Nancy Hardesty (now, out of print, I believe) and _Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory_ by Randall Balmer. It was extremely interesting and challenging to teach Evangelicalism to students who, overwhelmingly, came from rather traditional working class Irish and Italian Catholic backgrounds. Most of them had not the foggiest idea what an evangelical was, or had gathered their conceptions from cable TV (ugh!). The greatest thing, though was to lead them through the process of discovery, starting with Luther and moving forward. I usually received very good feedback from the vignettes in Balmer's book as well as the visit to the evangelical church that I required from all the Catholic students. It was a tremendous joy for me to teach the class--certainly I enjoyed it more than the students! Although I am not now teaching, I would be very interested in the experiences of the other professor/scholars on the list. What course did you teach? What kinds of texts, readings, and assignments did you use? This continues to be a fascinating subject for me as I continue to tinker with my syllabus (currently unused, but waiting for the next big opportunity!).

What effect did Brainerd, Jonathan Edwards, Wesley and others have on it. Later in the 19th century I read where some of the Connecticut Congregationalists were anti-abolition, but my personal study of Abolitionist diaries, has always shown Congregational members to be firmly in favor of abolition. Several years ago I received a good circular in the mail, several times; after browsing through it; I trashed it. Because I did not order, I was taken off their mailing list, can anyone give me contact of this mail order religious book place.

The British evangelicals probably set the example for the Americans (as they tended to in the late 18th and early 19th centuries). My own research has touched on the Naval and Military Bible Society whose origins go back to about 1780. Your own interests are along a similar line and I think that I recall some published work on "missions to seamen" - which is the way the British referred to such missions. I will have my t.a. do a search of the articles for a dictionary on evangelicals which I am editing to see what we can come up with. There are several historians who are particularly interested in naval chaplains both in the UK and the US and probably they could be of help as often those concerned with the navy were more broadly concerned with missions to seamen (Richard Blake in the UK and Timothy Demy in the US). Again I don't have my files to hand but I can give you their addresses and possibly the names and addresses of others who are interested in the areas. (We are on reading break this week so my t.a. is off and I am working at home.) I have a vague memory that someone has written up a history of missions to seamen in the UK -- the study may even have been more wide-ranging. Again I will see what I can find. For some background information to the British side see my "Lighten Their Darkness: The Evangelical Mission to Working-Class London, 1828-1860" (Greenwood, 1986). The dictionary referred to above will appear in April (?) 1995 in two volumes and be known as "The Blackwell Dictionary of Evangelical Biography, 1730-1860". It covers some 3600 individual evangelicals throughout the English-speaking world and involved some 350+ historians. Eventually I hope that it appears on CD-ROM as in that form it would be even more useful to historians than in its printed form (but don't tell Basil Blackwell's that I said it). More anon.

Probably he knows about the recent biography of Grenfell published by the University of Toronto Press by a Memorial University professor (Romney, I believe his surname is). What he (and interested others) probably don't know is that Barbara Robinson recently completed an M.A. thesis in our department on aspects of the thought of Grenfell.

In-reply-to: Message of Wed, 02 Nov 1994 11:09:49 +1000 (GMT+1000) from I must admit that I have been more faithful responding to inquiries on a list of history graduate students. By way of introduction, I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Connecticut in U.S. History. My dissertation field is in U.S. Evangelicalism from 1820-1920. I am specifically examining outreach to mariners in New England. In April I am presenting a paper at a conference in Liverpool on "The Mariner as the 'Deserving' Spiritually Poor". Outreach to mariners began in NYC among believers working among the poor following the War of 1812. The International Association for the Study of Maritime Mission is the only organization I know of committed to the study of this field. I would be interested if anyone out there knows of any other organizations or journals that deal with this area of inquiry (I realize it is pretty specific). I will cou ch my research in the larger picture of the 19th C. benevolent empire.

I also hold a theology degree (B.Th. in Old Testament) and a Master's in Classics (Greek/Latin/Coptic). My interest in this group centers around a research project that I am nearly through with: "A Bibliography of Religious Debates Associated with the Disciples of Christ and Related Religious Groups". I first became interested in published religious debates through my antiquarian bookselling business. I had (and still have) several customers who were interested in collecting any books of this type. I have subsequetly started collecting whatever information I could find on religious debates. So far I have identified 376 different published debates associated with the so called "Restoration Movement" (i.e., the Disciples of Christ/Independent Christian Churches/Noninstrumental Churches of Christ). If there is any one on this list who is aware of current research on religious debates (the published, verbatim records of these oral or written debates), I'd enjoy hearing from you. I would also enjoy hearing from others who are studying indigenous American Religion groups such as the Disciples of Christ, Mormons, American Universalists, etc. Cheers, Jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim McMillan, Owner, Always Books PO Box 378, Newman, IL 61942 (217) 837-2610 Email to: mcmillan@alexia.lis.uiuc.edu ****Dealing in Antiquarian, Out-of-Print and Used Religious Books**** From: HISTEC-2 (11/2/94) To: HISTEC-2 Subject:Re: HEY, Anyone Out There!!??

From: Tona Hangen Subject: Re: HEY, Anyone Out There!!?? Just to let you know that I am still getting this list, having cancelled my subscription to the way-too-busy ECCHST list. I was sorry to see the old histec pass away, especially since so many of the questions and answers dealt with the twentieth century. To follow up on Rex Trent's query (without changing my subject line, sorry) what do you see as the role/ impact of "old-time" evangelicals? Here's why I'm interested in his question and in hearing some thoughtful responses: I am keenly interested in early 20th C rural religious culture, both evangelical and mainline Protestant. It seems to me that the current historiographical consensus has mainline Protestants surrendering to "modernism" and the "forces of mass culture" (this is really over- simplifying the terrific arguments of folks like R. Laurence Moore and David Harrington Watt), with evangelicals beating some kind of retreat into cultural hibernation from which they emerged politically organized into the right wing in the 1970s. I suspect that the reality is more complicated and that evangelicalism provided a sustaining faith and was a major component of local rural culture throughout the 20th c. I am specifically interested in radio preaching aimed at rural markets, but my broader questions are similar to Trents: how did American evangelicalism survive the early 20th C & what have been the axes of transformation to today? Looking forward to a "revival" of discussion after Baylor calls us all to repentance.

From: JWARNOCK@delphi.com I am still here lurking in the middle of Salt Lake City. We moved from Denver to teach at the Regent College extension here, also known as the Utah Institute for Biblical Studies, which hopes someday to become an independent seminary/graduate school of theology. Regarding contemporary evangelists, in the 1970s Jews for Jesus did a tremendous amount of urban evangelism in Jewish communities (esp. New York and Chicago). Partly as a result, there are now dozens of "Messianic Jewish" congregations scattered across the country. I have also heard reports of awakenings among Russian Jews, though they're sketchy and hard to verify (at least from Utah). I did my dissertation on Protestant attitudes toward Jewish immigrants, 1880-1917. There was a small Jewish Christian community then, mainly centered around mission stations in Jewish neighborhoods. It didn't thrive largely because of lack of support among Protestants who wanted to Americanize immigrants. The current movement, by contrast, continues to grow. Jim Warnock From: HISTEC-2 (11/1/94) To: HISTEC-2 CC: HISTEC-2BAYLOREDU , Subject:Re: HEY, Anyone Out There!!?? From: Neville Buch Subject: Re: HEY, Anyone Out There!!?? Dear Robert, I am still here. May suggest what one discussion group did, and that was to ask subscribers to introduce themselves. I am a post-graduate student with a Ph.D thesis submitted and under examination in the Department of History, Univesity of Queensland, St. Lucia (Brisbane), Queensland, Australia. My thesis deals with the American religious influences upon the Protestant religion in Queensland between 1945 and 1985. My field is Australian and American religious history. My basic argument is that, in the twentieth century, the United States has become the cultural centre of the Protestant religion in a parallel to the way Rome was once an important cultural centre to the Catholic world. Hence, as Celtic Catholicism had to struggle against Roman hegemony, there are Protestant practices and interpretative styles which are now struggling against the American hegemony which comes out of the grip that American evangelical organisations have on Protestantism worldwide. See if this stirs the pot. Neville. From: HISTEC-2 (11/1/94) To: HISTEC-2BAYLOREDU , Subject:RE>Where Are All the Scholars? From: Robert Krapohl Subject: RE>Where Are All the Scholars? I think that John Stackhouse raises an excellent point and one that cuts to the heart of the whole notion of electronic discussion lists. I, for one, would like nothing better than to see some of the luminaries that Professor Stackhouse mentioned on the HISTEC-2 list. Of course, we could give any number of reasons why they are not (i.e. they are not Internet savvy; they are too busy being "scholarly" to waste their time with discussion lists which, granted, can eat up a lot of time; etc.). I have heard it said and I think it a truism, that electronic discussion lists can be as good (or bad) as the participants involved in them. As much as I would LIKE to have Marsden, Noll, Hatch, et al. involved in HISTEC, that has not happened (so far). Hence, I think it is up to those of us who have made a commitment to this list to make the discussions as scholarly and professionally enriching as possible. Who knows, although some of us (I speak for myself here) are clearly "pretenders" to scholarly greatness, I dare say that there are a few nascent Marsdens subscribed to HISTEC who have some valuable insights to share with the rest of the subscribers. Having said that, I reiterate my desire to see the "Marsden crowd" involved in this list. I would challenge those of you who call these individuals colleagues and friends to inform them of HISTEC and to urge them to get on the 'Net and get involved in our discussions--there is NO reason why this cannot happen. One of the reasons I am involved in electronic discussion groups is that I believe it is the wave of the future. The Internet can make communicating with faraway colleagues like strolling down the hall for an interoffice chat. There is no reason why the conversations on HISTEC cannot be informative and thought provoking. I can forsee a time when academic discourse is unthinkable without electronic discussion groups. Look at it this way--when Marsden, Noll, Hatch et al. finally wake up and get on the Internet, you can have the satisfaction of knowing that you were there first! Rob Krapohl Baylor University From: HISTEC-2 (11/1/94) To: HISTEC-2 Subject:HEY, Anyone Out There!!?? From: REX TRENT Subject: HEY, Anyone Out There!!?? In-reply-to: note of Tue, 01 Nov 1994 13:35:02 -0600 (Attached) from Robert Krapohl From: Rex Trent ED3 - 324 Ext - 2125 Robert, there are at least a few of us still out here. Let me respond to your last posting concerning courses on Evangelicalism with a question. As a lay- person, I have been serving as the chairman of the Board of Directors of Open Air Campaigners, USA for the past three years. While OAC does not teach the courses you had mentioned in your post, we do teach the 'nuts & bolts' of how to evangelize, especially in the open air (inter-city projects, subways, ship docks, etc). Over the past few years we have taught at Moody, Lancaster (Pa), PCB (Phila,Pa), Word of Life students, Washington Bible College and others. My question, to the scholars & historians on the list, is looking back at our era at some point in the future, what impact did the evangelists of our day have on Evangelical America? Did the evangelists of the 1990's have the same impact/role as did the evangelists of 'old' ? Thanks, Rex Trent From: HISTEC-2 (11/1/94) To: HISTEC-2 Subject:Who's on and who's not From: stackhs@cc.UManitoba.CA (John G. Stackhouse, Jr.) Robert Krapohl cries in the wilderness: "Is everybody dead or just deserted?" (or words to that effect). This plaintive cry reminds me of a phenomenon that I haven't checked against HISTEC's actual roster but see in this list's (and its predecessor's) postings. To my knowledge, very few of what I myself would call the leading scholars in the field are on this list--or on the net at all. Let me set out some members of my own hall of fame and you folks can tell me (a) if they're on HISTEC-2, or (b) if you've seen them on ANY list.
