...INTRODUCTION Church history has been filled with heated debates about speaking in tongues. This modern movement has been one of the most intriguing and apprehensive trends of the contemporary charismatic movement. Glossolalia (speaking in tongues) has been responsible for numerous divisions among Christians because advocates who observe and practice speaking in tongues take the matter seriously. The gap in this division is wide, ranging from accusations of mental instability and personal impairment to direct and holy communication with God. It is the purpose of this paper to show that biblical evidence demonstrates that glossolalia is irrelevant for today. We will first introduce a working definition of glossolalia, then look at some important historical facts revealed in Acts, the gospel of Mark, and 1 Corinthians, consider supporting arguments from each side of the debate, and finally conclude with a position that is supported by thoughts from informed theologians and more importantly, the Holy Bible (God’s word). DEFINITION Glossolalia is derived from the Greek noun glossa which is interpreted as “the tongue, a language,” and the verb laleo which is interpreted as “to speak”. Therefore, glossolalia is a literal translation of the Greek words “glosso” and “laleo” meaning “speaking in tongues”. Oxford Dictionary defines glossolalia as a phenomenon of (apparently) speaking in an unknown language, especially in religious worship. The most common usage for the phenomenon...

...A Revival: Transformation of Mevlevism in Turkey Hande DEVRİM KÜÇÜKEBE Ege University State Conservatory of Turkish Music Final Essay for IPEDAK- Erasmus Project- Intensive Programme 2010 Revival can be defined as a social movement aiming to restore and protect a tradition which is believed to be disappeared or partly neglegted. This essay will focus on how revival is discussed as a concept in the works written by Egil Bakka, Andriy Nahachewsky, Mohd Anis Md Nor and Ayhan Erol and the case of The whirling Dervishes in Turkey will be elaborated using this concept of revival. In his article ‘Whose dances? Whose authenticity?’ Egil Bakka, mentions folk dance revival in Norway as an ‘organized folk dance movement as opposed to popular tradition’. He presents two dance categories. The first one contains ‘dances staying alive because of their own strength and popularity’ and the second category consists of ‘dances being consciously cultivated, taught and sustained by a desire to preserve, nurture or utilize’ (60) In the first category there are the dances common in Norwegian rural areas and he states that there aren’t any systematic teaching and efforts to keep these dances alive. The dances in the second category are the ones which are subjected to the revival or ‘organised folk dance movement’ Bakka states that the revival process requires to move...

...gathered together for worship, which spread the early Pentecostal Movement. During this time the Pentecostal disregarded racial barriers. There were many Pentecostal churches that were interracial, regardless of any laws throughout the 1920s. Eventually Pentecostalism was influenced to segregate and divided into white branches and black branches. After the Civil Rights Movement the Pentecostals re-emerged and joined again for worship. The three year Azusa revival participants returned to their homes and spread the information and word about Pentecostalism. This was the main reason why Pentecostalism spread across the United States. After the beliefs were spread in participant’s home towns, some whole churches began to convert to the Pentecostal faith. Pentecostalism is a semi-popular denomination of Christianity. In the early 20th century, most people who practiced Pentecostalism were very expectant of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Charles Parham was a teacher in 1900, who preached that the speaking of tongues was true evidence that you had been baptized by the Holy Spirit of God. Due to a dispute regarding the doctrine of the Trinity, Pentecostalism has branched off into two sections: Trinitarian Pentecostalism and Non-Trinitarian...

...American Economy went through radical transformation periods during the Mid-19th century, so did the American social landscape. Campaigns for social reform began popping up all over America, with Ralph Waldo Emerson stating that there was not “a reading man who was without some scheme for a new utopia in his waistcoat pocket”. As the nation progressed through the 19th century reform movements attempted to, and sometimes succeeded at, reviving religion with religious reformation and the Second Great Awakening, moving away from materialism and greed, and addressing the multiple human rights issues going on in America at the time. Reformation in America started with religion and the religious revival movement of the Second Great Awakening. In the early 1800’s, America was beginning to show signs of going through an intense period of religious rejection and anticlericalism especially with the widely circulated book by...

...CLASS ASSIGNMENT For PAPER 2, SECTION 2: WESTERN METAPHYSICS On WILLIAM OF OCKHAM SUBMITTED BY: HARISH S PEDPAROLU MA PART 1 WEEKDAY BATCH ABSTRACT This write-up seeks to take stock of the philosophy of William of Occam , in the context of his position in the history of medieval philosophy and with reference to not just his ‘razor ‘ but also of his views on ethics, politics and epistemology as well. It begins with an account of medieval philosophy and its chronology followed by a brief survey of the problems central to medieval musings. The problem of universals and particulars is then brought in and is discussed with reference to the raging conflict between the realists, on one hand , and the nominalists on the other . The views of Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus ,in reaction to whom , much of the philosophy of William of Occam took shape , are related . What follows is an account of Occam’s razor, its being rooted in Occam’s position on the problem of universals and the distinction he draws between the knowledge capable of being reasoned and the understanding based solely on faith. His ethical and political views are touched and a few comments are made about the impact and relevance of his views in the Middle Ages. The beginnings of what has come to be classified as the ‘Medieval period ‘ in the historical discourse...

...Strategies for Reviving the Japanese Economy Introduction 1. Assessment of the Current Economy The Japanese economy has begun to show some signs of change as the effects of recent large-scale economic packages have gradually helped to stop the severe economic downturn. But despite this progress, private demand as a whole remains stagnant. Therefore, the economic prospects for self-supported recovery are still uncertain once the economic effects of the last packages have phased out. The fundamental problems pertinent to the weak economy are twofold. First, the true adjustment of the burst of the bubble economy is still insufficient. Second, against the background of the sharp decline in the number of births and the rapid aging of the population, the pace of which has not been experienced in other industrialized nations, the "Japanese system"--the engine of the country's astonishing high growth in the postwar era--has turned problematic with regard to economic growth. First, fears about employment prospects, future pension plans, and the sharp rise in government deficits are obviously restraining an economic turnaround. These fears are attributable to eroding sustainability in the Japanese-style wage and employment systems and the generous social security system. To cope with the situation, provisions of renewed safety nets are urgently needed. Furthermore, the rising fiscal deficits are restraining economic upturn by making people serious about future tax hikes...

...Assess the view that secularisation has been a feature only in modern European societies-33 marks The idea of secularisation implies that there has been disenchantment in social life, that sacred ideas are no longer of any relevance to people and practical matters are emptied of any spiritual significance. Secularisation according to Wilson is the process whereby ‘religious thinking, practice and institutions social significance,’ that people are more interested in leisurely pursuits and that society and religion has become more pluralistic as a result of globalisation. Exclusivists think that secularisation is definitely happening whilst inclusivists argue that it is not happening, rather that society is experiencing resacralisation, that there are other religions such as NRMS and New Age Spirituality which are equally valid. Woodhead and Heelas suggest that there are two versions of secularisation. Firstly the disappearance thesis states that modernity is bringing about the death of religion. This thesis tends to use Church statistics as evidence. Crockett found that in 1851 40% Church attendance and in 2007 2% attended. In 2002 2/3 attended a religious service such as weddings no more than once a year. However there are problems concerning the use of Church statistics, regarding their reliability and validity. Statistics tell us very little about the social meaning of religion as Davie suggests many people can believe without belonging. Bellah also notes that religion is...

...reasons behind it and semiotically decode their dress as intentional communication. In order to do this, I will firstly, conduct a semiotic analysis to an image, thereafter apply Hepdige’s theories on subculture lastly, I will further discuss and apply Maynard’s theory on the relationship between style and communication. Mieke Bal and Norman Bryson (1991:174) cited in (Rose 2001) explains that human culture is made up of signs, each of which stands for something other than itself. This statement makes you want to understand and make sense of those signs. Observing Yuna in figure01 who wears the hijab along western trends as a form of self-expression and her Islamic identity. Yuna’s iconic and idexcical sign is the head-scarf (hijab) as it is a performative agent through which the sense of common sociality is being achieved by practicing a dress code that is a visible identity maker, and that sends a message to outsiders. The syntagmatic signs according to Rose (2001) are those that gain their meaning from the signs that surround them in a still image. Yuna’s style and choice of ‘high street fashion’ and catwalk on trend make-up goes against the media’s stereotypical view on Muslim women. Hilal Plaza (2013) explains that most people who are unfamiliar with Islam are heavily influenced by the mass media,...

...source get the definition of the time wrong to such a far extent? In the Early Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages, various accomplishments, and innovations occurred within Europe. For example, during the mid 1100s, John, King of England began exploiting his authority against the nobles. At this time, the king’s power was nearly limitless; something John took advantage of by demanding large quantities of money without consulting nobles. Furthermore, John also began deciding court cases according to his own personal whims. Before long, the nobles began despising John’s actions. After losing a battle against the French, King John had to make sure he had the support of his nobles. Therefore, a year before his reign ended, John agreed to sign the Magna Carta, a royal charter created by the nobles to protect their...

...chip off. This caused Joseph Jr. to have a lame leg for the rest of his life. Once settled in Palmyra, Joseph’s family must have been caught up in the excitement of the religious camp meetings, which were a popular way to spread the word of God and worship, in the 19th century USA. Robert Bushman takes us back to the American frontier and discusses the religious revival, which was especially strong in the Northeast part of the country. Joseph Smith, Jr. at a very impressionable age experienced life filled with increased interest in religion and observed fist hand formation of new religions. His family’s spiritual believes seemed to be full of confusion, which R. Bushman describes as “religious melee” and continues to point out, “If there was a personal motive for Joseph Smith, Jr.’s revelations, it was to satisfy his family’s religious want and above all , to meet the need of his oft-defeated, unmoored father” pp. 25-27. He continues to point out the importance of this religious environment on Joseph, on page 37, “Smith began to be concerned about religion in late 1817 or early 1818, when the aftereffects of the revival of 1816 and 1817 were still being felt”. At a young age, Smith Jr. was searching for a place to belong, which would define him and his existence, a quest common to most young people. What weren’t ordinary were his restlessness and almost an obsession with religion. Maybe it was due to his home environment, as his parents struggled with their own religious questions...

...The Ten commandments Characters: Moses, Egyptian prince, Hebrew slaves Summary: Shortly after God brought the people of Israel out of Egypt, they traveled through the desert to Sinai where they camped in front of Mount Sinai. Mount Sinai, also called Mount Horeb, is a very significant place. There God met and spoke with Moses, telling him why he had rescued Israel from Egypt. For God had chosen these people to be made into a holy nation of priests for God, his treasured possession. One day God called moses to the top of the mountain and he gave him the first part of his new system of laws for his people - the Ten Commandments. (These Ten Commandments summarized the absolutes of spiritual and moral living that God intended for his people. For a modern-day paraphrase of the Ten Commandments visit: Ten Commandments - Paraphrase.) God continued to give direction to his people through Moses, including the civil and ceremonial laws for managing their lives and their worship. Eventually God called Moses to the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights. During this time he gave him instructions for the tabernacle and the offerings. When God finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him two tablets of stone inscribed by the very finger of God. They contained the Ten Commandments. Meanwhile, the people of Israel had become impatient while waiting for Moses to return with a message from God. Moses had been gone for so long that the people gave up on him and begged Aaron (Moses'...
