Holy Land is an approximately 13 minute long three movement work fororchestra and choir. It is essentially a large scale ternary form, with eachmovement comprising one part of the form. The work is inspired by thecomposer’s experience of growing up in Southern Illinois and by the presenceand influence of religion in the region, to which the title is a sarcastic reference.The first movement of the work, Golden Age, represents the simplicity andinnocence of childhood, and is characterized by long sustained harmonies and aprimarily homophonic texture. The second movement, Seeker of Truth, containsa setting of the E.E. Cummings poem of the same name, and represents anemotionally turbulent adolescence, characterized by fast, perpetual rhythms anda primarily contrapuntal texture. The third movement, A Better Resurrection,contains a setting of an excerpt of the Christina Rossetti poem of the samename, and represents a nihilism-tinged adulthood, with a return to musicalmaterial similar to that of the first movement.

ABSTRACT “THE BLESSED SPIRIT”: AN ANALYSIS OF THE PNEUMATOLOGY OF BENJAMIN BEDDOME AS AN EARLY EVANGELICAL Daniel Scott Ramsey, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2017 Chair: Dr. Michael A. G. Haykin The pneumatology of Benjamin Beddome, a Particular Baptist and early evangelical, provides the historian with a verifiable continuum between the theology of the Puritans and the early evangelicals with their common emphasis on the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and a latter-day outpouring of the Spirit with millennial implications. Serving over five decades as pastor in the town of Burton-on the-Water, Beddome was a prolific writer, producing hundreds of sermons and hymns. While he held many of the same views as his contemporaries, Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, his pneumatology bears the influence of earlier Puritans, and especially those of his Baptist forefathers. The typical Reformed emphases, such as preaching, the Word and the Spirit, and an expectation of periodic outpourings of the Holy Ghost, were carried over by early Baptists in London, after their birth from an independent Puritan church in Southwark. The seven original congregations multiplied rapidly, producing several confessions that aligned with other churches of the Reformed tradition. Beddome’s ontology of the Spirit reflects his strong Trinitarian views upholding His deity, along with His distinct personhood. His pneumatology bears all the imprints of classic Reformed theology, but along with other early evangelicals, gives special emphasis to its teaching on periodic outpourings, renewal, and conversions. These similarities show amazing continuity as Puritan pneumatology came to full fruition with Beddome and the early evangelicals.
