"What does it mean to be saved? Did God choose who would be his followers, or was it a personal choice? These are just some of the questions Paul addresses in the sixteen challenging chapters of his letter to the Romans. Reading Romans shows how some of the greatest minds in the history of the church have wrestled with, and even been changed by, Paul's words. For example, God used a passage from Romans to speak to the untamed heart of Au ..."

"While this system of ecclesiastical order created a dramatic sense of freedom for
individuals and churches to determine their own spiritual, theological, and
ministry-related approaches, such populism often ensured internal dissent,
disagreement, and the potential for schism. Nineteenth-century Baptists reflected
these divisions in controversies related to revivalism, mission, slavery, and
denominational connections. In her study o ..."

"1 Edward Burnett Tylor Certainly in a British context and arguably more widely,
Edward Burnett Tylor (1832–1917) is generally acknowledged to be 'the father of
anthropology'.1 In an oft-repeated phrase, Friedrich Max Müller (1823–1900),

the new discipline as 'Mr. Tylor's science'.2 While appreciations in festschrifts are
apt to be over-generous, they a ..."
