Lotteries and Overlapping Providences in Early America 早期美国的彩票与重叠的天意

ABSTRACT What kind of world did early American men and women believe they were living in? Did God choose lottery winners or did intellectual, economic, and scientific insights engender more reasonable, skeptical, or secular formulations? Lotteries were a common and uncontroversial presence in early American economic and civic life, funding the construction of everything from bridges to churches. George Washington liked giving lottery tickets as gifts. Denmark Vesey purchased his freedom by winning a lottery. Although scholars have used the lottery and other forms of gambling to make important claims about class and culture in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, lotteries hold rich, untapped insights for American religious history. By offering a specific causal experience to explain, lotteries prompted answers from their participants, known as “adventurers,” about why things happened. Relying on firsthand accounts of lottery winners, correspondence among the managers who oversaw lotteries, promotional schemes designed to entice participation, and newspaper coverage, this article demonstrates providence's ongoing centrality to causality in eighteenth and early nineteenth-century America. Far from jettisoning an animated, meaningful universe with the aid of reason or in the face of debilitating doubt, lottery adventurers employed both longstanding and novel versions of providence to explain how the world worked and how God worked in the world.
早期的美国人认为他们生活在一个什么样的世界里?是上帝选择了彩票中奖者,还是智力、经济和科学的洞察力产生了更合理、更怀疑、更世俗的公式?彩票在早期美国经济和公民生活中是一种普遍而无可争议的存在,为从桥梁到教堂的一切建设提供资金。乔治·华盛顿喜欢把彩票当礼物送人。丹麦·维西通过彩票中奖获得了自由。尽管在18世纪和19世纪早期,学者们利用彩票和其他形式的赌博对阶级和文化做出了重要的主张,但彩票对美国宗教历史有着丰富的、尚未开发的见解。通过提供一个特定的因果经验来解释,彩票促使参与者(被称为“冒险家”)回答事情发生的原因。依靠彩票中奖者的第一手资料,监督彩票经理之间的通信,旨在吸引参与的促销计划,以及报纸报道,这篇文章证明了在18世纪和19世纪早期的美国,天意对因果关系的持续中心地位。在理性的帮助下,或者面对令人虚弱的怀疑,彩票冒险家们非但没有抛弃一个生动的、有意义的宇宙,反而采用了长期存在的和新颖的天意版本来解释世界是如何运行的,以及上帝是如何在世界上运行的。

“A verry poor place for our doctrine”: Religion and Race in the 1853 Mormon Mission to Jamaica “我们教义的一个非常贫乏的地方”:1853年摩门教派往牙买加的宗教和种族

ABSTRACT This article examines the first Mormon mission to Jamaica in January 1853. The missionaries, facing opposition from both black and white Jamaicans, returned to the United States after only a month on the island, having made only four converts. Latter-day Saints did not return to Jamaica for another 125 years. Drawing on the missionaries’ personal papers, church archives, local newspaper reports, and governmental records, I argue that the 1853 mission played a crucial role in shaping nineteenth-century Mormonism's racial theology, including the “temple and priesthood ban” that restricted priesthood ordination and temple worship for black men and women. While historians have rightly noted the role twentieth-century missions to regions of the African Diaspora played in ending the ban, studies of the racial restriction's early scope have been discussed in almost exclusively American contexts. The mission to Jamaica, precisely because of its failure, helped shape the ban's implementation and theological justifications. Failing to make any inroads, the elders concluded that both Jamaica and its inhabitants were cursed and not worthy of the missionaries’ time, which anticipated later decisions to prioritize preaching to whites and to scale back and ultimately abandon efforts to proselytize people of African descent.
本文考察了1853年1月摩门教第一次到牙买加传教。传教士们面对牙买加黑人和白人的反对,在岛上呆了一个月就回到了美国,只皈依了四个人。在接下来的125年里,后期圣徒都没有回到牙买加。根据传教士的个人文件、教会档案、当地报纸报道和政府记录,我认为1853年的传教在塑造19世纪摩门教的种族神学方面发挥了至关重要的作用,包括“圣殿和祭司禁令”,该禁令限制了黑人男女的祭司任命和圣殿崇拜。虽然历史学家正确地指出了20世纪向非洲侨民地区派遣使团在结束禁令方面所起的作用,但对种族限制早期范围的研究几乎只在美国的背景下进行了讨论。正是因为牙买加之旅的失败,才促成了禁令的实施和神学上的正当性。由于没有取得任何进展,长老们得出结论,认为牙买加及其居民都受到了诅咒,不值得传教士们花时间,这就预示着后来的决定是优先向白人传教,并缩减规模,最终放弃向非洲裔传教的努力。

Charts, Indexes, and Files: Surveillance, Information Management, and the Visualization of Subversion in Mainline Protestantism 图表、索引和文件:监视、信息管理和主线新教颠覆的可视化

ABSTRACT This essay explores how some Americans came to view the Federal Council of Churches (FCC) and, more broadly, ecumenical mainline Protestantism as a threat to the national security interests of the United States. By focusing on the efforts of various elements in the federal bureaucracy—including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Chemical Warfare Service, and Military Intelligence—and the work of average Americans to investigate the FCC, the essay examines how techniques of surveillance and information management helped shape the way Americans came to understand religion in the twentieth century. The essay develops three interconnected themes: first, the rise of America's national security surveillance establishment in the United States after World War I; second, the development of new methods of information management and visualization in corporate and state bureaucracies; and, third, the rise of voluntary, private surveillance in the wake of World War I. Through these three themes, the essay highlights how a network of federal bureaucrats, business leaders, and average citizens used graphs, indexes, and files to interpret mainline, ecumenical Christianity as a threat to domestic security in the United States. Ultimately, the project suggests that scholarly efforts to assess fissures in U.S. Protestantism have focused too much on controversies over belief and theology—especially those related to evolutionary theory, eschatology, and scriptural inerrancy—and paid far too little attention to the emerging bureaucratic systems of state and corporate surveillance that helped to document, visualize, and disseminate these accusations in the first place.
摘要本文探讨了一些美国人是如何将联邦教会委员会(FCC)以及更广泛的普世主流新教视为对美国国家安全利益的威胁的。通过关注联邦官僚机构中各部门的努力,包括联邦调查局、化学战服务局和军事情报局,以及普通美国人调查联邦通信委员会的工作,这篇文章探讨了监视和信息管理技术如何帮助塑造了20世纪美国人理解宗教的方式。本文提出了三个相互关联的主题:第一,第一次世界大战后美国国家安全监视机构在美国的兴起;第二,在公司和国家官僚机构中开发新的信息管理和可视化方法;第三,第一次世界大战后自愿私人监视的兴起。通过这三个主题,本文强调了联邦官僚、商业领袖和普通公民网络如何使用图表、索引和文件来解释主流普世基督教对美国国内安全的威胁。最终,该项目表明,评估美国新教裂痕的学术努力过于关注信仰和神学的争议,尤其是与进化论、末世论和圣经无误论有关的争议,而对新兴的国家和企业监督官僚系统的关注太少,这些系统有助于记录、可视化、,并首先传播这些指控。

How the Coronavirus Pandemic Will Change Our Future Teaching 冠状病毒大流行将如何改变我们未来的教学

Higher education has experienced pandemics and economic downturns over its long history. Recent events have invited comparisons to small pox scares, worldwide flu epidemics, and other moments of fear for student, faculty, and staff health. Campus leaders are nervously watching the bottom line while students and parents worry and contemplate different modes of learning, deciding whether they want to buy what colleges and universities can offer. Faculty, meanwhile, forged new sorts of relationships with their students during spring semester 2020 and wonder about how this environment might continue going forward. Among many in higher education, there is a sense that something has forever changed. For over a decade, we have talked about the differences between face-to-face and remote classes, debating their relative pedagogical and financial merits. With recent events blurring all forms of instruction into virtual classrooms and online assignments, Facebook pages and websites sprung up for faculty to share ideas, teaching modules, and assignments. Social distancing has, ironically, added a new appreciation for the larger learning community, reminding us of the value of quality online materials and revealing again that good teaching is as collaborative as good research. Having learned new things about teaching and learning, how will this experience be built into our courses going forward? In other words, how has the pandemic affected how we will teach in the future? What has forever changed?
高等教育在其悠久的历史中经历了流行病和经济衰退。最近发生的事件让人将其与天花恐慌、全球流感疫情以及其他对学生、教职员工健康的恐惧时刻相提并论。校园领导正紧张地关注着底线,而学生和家长则在担心和考虑不同的学习模式,决定他们是否想要购买高校所能提供的东西。与此同时,教师们在2020年春季学期与学生建立了新的关系,并想知道这种环境将如何继续发展。在许多接受高等教育的人当中,有一种感觉,有些事情已经永远改变了。十多年来,我们一直在讨论面对面授课和远程授课的区别,讨论它们在教学和经济上的相对优势。随着最近发生的一些事件,各种形式的教学模糊化为虚拟教室和在线作业,Facebook页面和网站如雨后春笋般涌现,供教师们分享想法、教学模块和作业。具有讽刺意味的是,社交距离为更大的学习社区增加了一种新的欣赏,提醒我们高质量在线材料的价值,并再次表明,良好的教学与良好的研究一样具有协作性。学到了关于教与学的新东西之后,如何将这些经验融入到我们的课程中呢?换句话说,大流行如何影响我们未来的教学方式?什么永远改变了?

White Evangelicals as a “People”: The Church Growth Movement from India to the United States 白人福音派作为“人”:从印度到美国的教会成长运动

ABSTRACT This article begins with a simple question: How did white evangelicals respond to the civil rights movement? Traditional answers are overwhelmingly political. As the story goes, white evangelicals became Republicans. In contrast, this article finds racial meaning in the places white evangelicals, themselves, insisted were most important: their churches. The task of evangelization did not stop for a racial revolution. What white evangelicals did with race as they tried to grow their churches is the subject of this article. Using the archives of the leading evangelical church growth theorists, this article traces the emergence and transformation of the Church Growth Movement (CGM). It shows how evangelistic strategies created in caste-conscious India in the 1930s came to be deployed in American metropolitan areas decades later. After first resisting efforts to bring these missionary approaches to the United States, CGM founder Donald McGavran embraced their use in the wake of the civil rights movement. During the 1970s, the CGM defined white Americans as “a people” akin to castes or tribes in the Global South. Drawing on the revival of white ethnic identities in American culture, church growth leaders imagined whiteness as pluralism rather than hierarchy. Embracing a culture of consumption, they sought to sell an appealing brand of evangelicalism to the white American middle class. The CGM story illuminates the transnational movement of people and ideas in evangelicalism, the often-creative tension between evangelical practices and American culture, and the ways in which racism inflected white evangelicals’ most basic theological commitments.
本文从一个简单的问题开始:白人福音派如何回应民权运动?传统的答案绝大多数是政治性的。随着故事的发展,白人福音派教徒变成了共和党人。相比之下,这篇文章在白人福音派信徒坚持认为最重要的地方发现了种族意义:他们的教堂。传福音的任务并没有因为种族革命而停止。这篇文章的主题是白人福音派教徒在努力发展教会的过程中如何处理种族问题。本文利用福音派教会增长理论家的主要档案,追溯了教会增长运动(CGM)的出现和转变。它展示了20世纪30年代在种姓意识强烈的印度创建的福音策略是如何在几十年后在美国大都市地区得到部署的。在最初抵制将这些传教方法引入美国的努力之后,CGM创始人唐纳德·麦加夫兰在民权运动之后接受了它们的使用。在20世纪70年代,CGM将美国白人定义为“一个民族”,类似于全球南方的种姓或部落。利用美国文化中白人民族身份的复兴,教会成长领袖将白人想象成多元主义,而不是等级制。他们信奉消费文化,试图向美国白人中产阶级推销一种有吸引力的福音主义品牌。CGM的故事阐明了福音派中人员和思想的跨国流动,福音派实践与美国文化之间往往具有创造性的紧张关系,以及种族主义如何影响白人福音派最基本的神学承诺。

Born Again Black Panther: Race, Christian Conservatism, and the Remaking of Eldridge Cleaver 《重生的黑豹:种族、基督教保守主义和埃尔德里奇·克利弗的翻拍》
IF 0.4 3区 哲学 Q2 HISTORY Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.1017/rac.2020.15
D. Wells
ABSTRACT When Eldridge Cleaver, the former Black Panther Party Minister of Information, returned to the United States in November 1975, he claimed to have surrendered his life to Christ and conservatism. Utilizing the Eldridge Cleaver Papers housed at the Bancroft Library, this article recounts the transformation of Eldridge Cleaver from radical Black Panther to born-again Christian and anticommunist crusader. Cleaver's story of transformation demonstrates the pervasive power of the twentieth-century crusade against communism and the manner in which American conservatism created distinct categories of race that were written on the mind, body, religious belief, and practice of Eldridge Cleaver. This article highlights how conservatives enacted a program of racial respectability, remaking Eldridge in the image of conservative, capitalist, Christian whiteness. Cleaver was stripped of his “blackness,” a conservative effort to distance him from the “volatile black figures” of the mid-twentieth century. If Cleaver held on to any vestige of his old life—his leather jacket, “regional euphemisms,” liberationist ideology, and even his Afro hairstyle—his new life would be useless to conservatives. This article illustrates how Cleaver participated in a global crusade that sought to maintain and extend the unifying commitments of twentieth-century religious conservatism. Those commitments included (1) the commercial, economic, and political interests that produced, funded, and policed conservatism; (2) traditional white, middle-class family values; and (3) political, racial, gendered, and religious understandings of the citizen subject. Eldridge Cleaver and his anticommunist crusade are windows into the distinct categories of religion, politics, and race—Christianity, conservatism, and white respectability—constructed and enacted by American conservatives in the twentieth century.
1975年11月,当前黑豹党新闻部长埃尔德里奇·克利弗回到美国时,他声称已经将自己的生命交给了基督和保守主义。本文利用Bancroft图书馆收藏的Eldridge Cleaver文件,叙述了Eldridge Cleaver从激进的黑豹到重生的基督徒和反共十字军的转变。克利弗的转变故事展示了20世纪反共产主义运动的普遍力量,以及美国保守主义如何创造了截然不同的种族类别,这些类别都写在埃尔德里奇·克利弗的思想、身体、宗教信仰和实践上。这篇文章强调了保守派如何制定了一个种族尊重计划,将埃尔德里奇重塑为保守派、资本主义、基督教白人的形象。克利弗被剥夺了他的“黑人”,这是保守主义者试图将他与20世纪中期的“反复无常的黑人人物”拉开距离的一种努力。如果克利弗还保留着他过去生活的任何痕迹——他的皮夹克、“地区委婉语”、自由主义意识形态,甚至他的非洲发型——那么他的新生活对保守派来说将毫无用处。这篇文章阐述了克利弗是如何参与一场全球运动的,这场运动旨在维护和扩展20世纪宗教保守主义的统一承诺。这些承诺包括:(1)产生、资助和管理保守主义的商业、经济和政治利益;(2)传统的白人中产阶级家庭价值观;(3)对公民主体的政治、种族、性别和宗教理解。埃尔德里奇·克利弗和他的反共运动为我们打开了一扇窗,让我们得以一窥宗教、政治和种族的不同范畴——基督教、保守主义和白人尊严——这些都是由美国保守派在20世纪构建和制定的。
{"title":"Born Again Black Panther: Race, Christian Conservatism, and the Remaking of Eldridge Cleaver","authors":"D. Wells","doi":"10.1017/rac.2020.15","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/rac.2020.15","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT When Eldridge Cleaver, the former Black Panther Party Minister of Information, returned to the United States in November 1975, he claimed to have surrendered his life to Christ and conservatism. Utilizing the Eldridge Cleaver Papers housed at the Bancroft Library, this article recounts the transformation of Eldridge Cleaver from radical Black Panther to born-again Christian and anticommunist crusader. Cleaver's story of transformation demonstrates the pervasive power of the twentieth-century crusade against communism and the manner in which American conservatism created distinct categories of race that were written on the mind, body, religious belief, and practice of Eldridge Cleaver. This article highlights how conservatives enacted a program of racial respectability, remaking Eldridge in the image of conservative, capitalist, Christian whiteness. Cleaver was stripped of his “blackness,” a conservative effort to distance him from the “volatile black figures” of the mid-twentieth century. If Cleaver held on to any vestige of his old life—his leather jacket, “regional euphemisms,” liberationist ideology, and even his Afro hairstyle—his new life would be useless to conservatives. This article illustrates how Cleaver participated in a global crusade that sought to maintain and extend the unifying commitments of twentieth-century religious conservatism.
