The author, who in one of the editors of The Obedience of a Christian Man for the Tyndale Project, recalls first of all the begiiming of her own career at Yale, with Richard Sylvester as mentor, and Sister Anne O’Donnell as fellow student. The Tyndale Project was born in a sense from the More Project. Next she examines each of the twenty essays collected in the volume under review, using the words of its title as divisions in her text. She subdivides word into translation, hermeneutics, and pastoral applications. Church furnishes “old and new” and concerns, not the two testaments, but beliefs and the Church, and “Tyndale and More.” State is the domain where Tyndale reveals himself the most myoptic, particularly in his vision of a calculating Wolsey. Not content to extract the marrow of substance from these bones, the author engages in much close examination, enriching the work with many additions or suggestions. She does the same with communications posterior to the book she is reviewing. The approval she accords to the authors thus has ali the weight of her own expertise in the field.

Though a discredited scandal might best be forgotten, its reverberations may still have meaning. In 1537 England was cut off by the break with the Roman church from its Italian contacts outside of Venice; yet a scandal which was the talk of Rome and Florence in hat and following years not only made its speedy way to England but was soon recorded in print there.Cosimo Gheri, Bishop of Fano, died in Fano of an apparent long standing malaria or other fever in September 1537. A young man of twenty-four, he owed his bishopric to his late uncle, his predecessor as bishop. He was praised for both learning and devotion and was well known from his recent student days at Padua to many of new eminence in the church—Contarini, Cortese, Sadoleto, Pole, Cervini. A laudatory account of him was written on January 1, 1538, for Venetian friends by his fellow-student Ludovico Bcccadelli, then in the famiglia of Cardinal Contarini in Rome, and his good works in the short year of his incumbency at Fano have been recorded by the local historian.

Harold King, who died on 20 February 1956, was brought up in Wales, although he had no Welsh blood in him. His father, Herbert King, who, together with his wife, came of Lancashire farming stock, was a schoolmaster by profession; he had received his training at Carmarthen and had hence become specially interested in Welsh education. Harold, the eldest of four children, was born on 24 February 1887 in the village of Llanengan, Carnarvonshire, where his mother was headmistress of the church school, his father being headmaster of the church school at the neighbouring village of Llanbedrog. Soon after Harold’s birth the family moved to Llanystumdwy, where his parents were headteachers of the church school until 1891; in the latter year they moved again, this time to Bangor, the move being dictated by Herbert King’s desire to provide the best education for his children; the parents remained head teachers of the St James Church School in Bangor until their retirement in 1923. It was in this modest and serious-minded environment that Harold King grew to manhood, and the marks of his upbringing remained with him to the end of his life. His earliest education was received at the school where his parents taught; from this he moved to Friars’ Grammar School, Bangor, where he spent about five years, and in 1905 he entered University College,, Bangor, as the holder of two scholarships. King himself has recorded that at this time he had a general interest in science, but was quite undecided as to which particular branch he would pursue. At the end of his intermediate course he was still undecided, but at this stage he was influenced by the advice of a fellow student to choose chemistry as one of the subjects for his final examination. The advice that was given to King was based on the excellence of the teaching of chemistry by the late K. J. P. Orton who held the chair at Bangor; it was a fortunate circumstance that he accepted this advice, for as he himself said, under the inspiration of Orton’s teaching he found chemistry both interesting and easy; his period of indecision was over; he had found the chosen subject for his life’s work, and in 1909 he graduated with first class honours.

Main Street in Sarasota, Florida. A high-tech medical arts building rises from the east end, the county's historic three-story courthouse is two blocks to the west and sandwiched in between is the First Church of Christ, Scientist. A verse inscribed on the wall behind the pulpit of the church reads: “Divine Love Always Has Met and Always Will Meet Every Human Need.” This is the church where William and Christine Hermanson worshipped. It is just a few steps away from the courthouse where they were convicted of child abuse and third-degree murder for failing to provide conventional medical care for their seven-year-old daughter.This Article is about the intersection of “divine love” and “the best interests of the child.” It is about a pluralistic society where the dominant culture reveres medical science, but where a religious minority shuns and perhaps fears that same medical science. It is also about the struggle among different religious interests to define the legal rights of the citizenry.

AbstractThis paper examines the actions of one Salvadorean priest – Padre David Rodríguez – in one parish – Tecoluca – to underscore the importance of religious leadership in the rise of El Salvador's contentious political movement that began in the early 1970s, when the guerrilla organisations were only just beginning to develop. Catholic leaders became engaged in promoting contentious politics, however, only after the Church had experienced an ideological conversion, commonly referred to as liberation theology. A focus on one priest, in one parish, allows for generalisation, since scores of priests, nuns and lay workers in El Salvador followed the same injustice frame and tactics that generated extensive political mobilisation throughout the country. While structural conditions, collective action and resource mobilisation are undoubtedly necessary, the case of religious leaders in El Salvador suggests that ideas and leadership are of vital importance for the rise of contentious politics at a particular historical moment.
