- Publication'Black Nobbie Neville': A Case Study into How the Early Salvation Army in Australia Regarded First Nations Peoples(2025-01-31) Cairns, MatthewPlease note that this article includes descriptions and examples of racist and derogatory conduct and historical writing. They are included in their original form to provide an accurate portrait of the attitudes of the period this article is examining. Readers are cautioned to take care if this is disturbing for them. This article explores the commencement of The Salvation Army in Australia and in particular its relationship with the Aboriginal populations it encountered. Utilizing the account of an early encounter, the story of “Black Nobbie Neville,” published in late 1890, this paper examines the attitudes of early Salvationists toward Aboriginal people. The narrative provides a useful tool to contrast and compare with other early Australian Salvation Army writings in considering whether the attitudes, stereotypes, and language used in the account of Nobbie Neville was consistent with a wider mentality of The Salvation Army of the early 20th century. Further, it opens the discussion on whether these views influenced and continue to influence the place of Aboriginal Salvationists in Australia.
- PublicationStoicism and the Gospel of John A Study of their Compatibility(Mohr Siebeck, 2025-03) King, FergusThe Gospel of John and Stoicism share significant vocabularies and terms such as Logos and Pneuma . But do they indicate a shared understanding of God, the world and living well? Fergus J. King suggests that such claims become unlikely when detailed analyses of the two traditions are conducted and compared. The first step in his examination looks at evidence of potential engagement between the two traditions historically and geographically. Examinations of their different views on living well, God, and the world reveal worldviews which are far from identical. In particular, the two traditions differ radically in their depictions of the relationship between God and the world, and what one does to live well.
