A construção do Templo de Salomão intitulado neste trabalho como Novo Templo de Salomão foi anunciada no ano de 2010, pelo Bispo Edir Macedo, como um grandioso projeto a ser realizado na cidade de São Paulo pela Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus. Desde a sua inauguração, no ano de 2014, notou-se que, além de uma judaização da estética aplicada a este espaço sagrado com a utilização de objetos, paramentos e decoração com motivos judaicos , a práxis iurdiana passou por mudanças substanciais, que incluem aspectos doutrinários, discursivos, litúrgicos, arquitetônicos e simbólicos, que afetaram todos os templos da denominação. Tais mudanças refletem diretamente o sentido que a IURD está tentando construir em torno dos elementos que constituem o seu novo santuário. As origens, os motivos e o modo como se dá esse processo de ressignificação da simbologia judaica, realizado pela Universal, é o cerne para se compreender o que está por trás desse empreendimento único no mundo, que foi escolhido como objeto de estudo deste trabalho. O intuito desta pesquisa é mostrar que, além de ser um megatemplo construído na capital paulista e o símbolo máximo de poder da denominação fundada por Edir Macedo, o Novo Templo de Salomão se constitui em um projeto de expansão da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus para os próximos anos. / The construction of the Temple of Solomon - in this work named as New Temple of Solomon - was announced in 2010 by Bishop Edir Macedo as a great project to be held in São Paulo City by the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG). Since its birth in 2014, in addition to a convertion of its aesthetics (or appearance) applied in this sacred space with the use of objects, vestments and decoration with Jewish motifs , the UCKG praxis underwent substantial changes; which include doctrinal, discursive, liturgical, architectural, and symbolic aspects that affected all temples from this denomination. Such changes directly reflect the sense that the UCKG is trying to build around the elements that constitute its new sanctuary. The origins, motives and the way in which this process of resignification of the Jewish symbolism, realized by the Universal, is the core to understand what is behind this unique enterprise in world, that was chosen like the main study object of this work. The purpose of this research is to show that, besides being a mega temple built in the capital of the homonymous state of São Paulo and the maximum symbol of power of the denomination founded by Edir Macedo, the New Temple of Solomon is an expansion project from Universal Church of the Kingdom of God for the next years.

This is in many ways a limited study. The first limitation is that only four denominations, the Anglican, Congregational, Methodist, Presbyterian, are considered and nothing is said about the work of the Moravians, Lutherans, Roman Catholics and the Dutch Reformed Churches in the field of theological education. The second limitation is that it is a study of theological education as distinct from general, industrial and other forms of education. All the forms of theological education considered here were run at missionary institutions that offered other forms of education and prepared their students for public government examinations with certain government conditions to be met. Moreover, a certain standard of general education was required before candidates were admitted to the theological course. Therefore, theological education was constantly dependent upon and was influenced by secular education and government regulations concerning secular education. For that reason the first chapter is a very brief survey of White Education in the Cape and African education in all four provinces from the beginning to 1915, the year before Fort Hare opened its doors to students seeking 'higher' education. The second chapter discusses the educational programme of Lovedale because Lovedale generally determined the whole of African education in the Cape. When Lovedale and the Methodists transferred their training to the South African Native College at Fort Hare, theological students had to abide by educational and other regulations of the university College. Chapters III and IV deal with the Methodist theological schools and the courses followed at Fort Hare. The third limitation of this study is that it is a study of the theological education of Africans, which category includes Coloureds and Indians because in the four churches under review they were trained together with Africans. In all churches under review here the theological education of whites was done in an unsatisfactory and ad hoc way. Many men were ordained without a satisfactory theological education. They were given some training by their superintendents, bishops or other men appointed to do the job in addition to their own normal duties. A few were sent overseas and many went through some arrangement within this country. St Paul's Theological College for Anglicans was opened in 1902. A start was made with the training of white Methodist Candidates for the ministry in the buildings of the Wesleyan High School for Girls in Grahamstown, in July 1928, under the Rev. James Pendlebury, B.A. (a supernumerary). Dr. William Flint who started the Methodist College as Principal, at Bollihope, Cape Town, in 1929, was seventy-five years of age when he opened the new Sbllege. From 1948 white theological students of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches have been trained at Livingstone House, Rhodes University, Grahamstown. .The final limitation is that this study ends at the close of 1960 and thus omits some of the exciting developments in theological education that have taken place since then. These limitations and demarcations were, however, necessary in order to focus attention on a small area where the main problems could be seen clearly, unencumbered by lesser issues. Where the training was run on denominational lines, it seemed necessary wherever possible to give a chapter to each denomination, and to attempt to pull the threads together in a concluding chapter.

This study examines the growth of conservative Protestantism, or evangelicalism, in British Columbia from 1917, the beginning of open conflict with theological liberalism, to 1981. The period witnessed the development of evangelical institutions from rudimentary beginnings before 1920 to the rise of a complex network by the 1970's. Numerically, conservative denominations in British Columbia countered a national trend and nearly doubled their proportion of the population from 1921 to 1981. Towards the end of the period, weekly attendance at conservative churches surpassed that in mainline Protestant denominations. This study has a two-fold purpose. The narrative seeks to recount significant features of the denominational, institutional and numerical development of evangelicalism in British Columbia. At the same time, the crucial factors in its development will be analyzed, particularly those which explain its growth. Explanations which focus exclusively on socio-economic factors or American influences are rejected. Both played significant roles but neither are able to fully explain the growth and other factors must be considered in addition to them. Four are identified as playing particularly significant roles: 1. a loyalty to values and emphases which appeared endangered by modernism; 2. patterns of immigration which added relatively large numbers of evangelicals who soon identified with the wider evangelicalism, 3. larger than average family sizes and high rates of retention of children within conservative churches and 4. institutional factors, particularly the strenuous efforts spent in establishing large numbers of new congregations throughout the province. Common to all four factors is the sense shared by conservative Protestants that they were separate from the "world." Unlike religious liberals who sought to preserve Christianity by accommodating to modernism, conservatives were alienated by modernism and sought to preserve traditional evangelicalism in the face of massive cultural change. In British Columbia, which was characterized by an unusual degree of transiency, materialism and secularism, the conservative approach proved more successful. Neither branch of Protestantism grew as rapidly as the "no religion" segment of the population but, while mainline Protestantism declined proportionately, evangelicals evidenced a certainty and simplicity of conviction and action that appealed to an increasing minority of the population. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

When, at age forty-nine, B.B. McKinney becae the Music Editor for the Baptist Sunday School Board, he began a career as probably the most influential man in Southern Baptist music, setting in motion the machinery that has made the Southern Baptist church music program among the largest in the nation. After six years with the Board, McKinney was promoted to Secretary of the newly-formed Church Music Department. Through his leadership state conventions were led to employ music secretaries to help train and assist churches with their individual music programs. Besides his continued editorship and composing, he set up, with his associate Hines Sims, the Church Music Training Course, and began the publication of a monthly journal, The Church Musician.
