THE investigation of the obedience of faith in Romans, commenced some three years ago, has thus far yielded two basic conclusions. (1) The phrase u[pakoh> pi<stewj (Rom 1:5; 16:26) embodies a twin idea: the obedience consisting in faith and the obedience arising out of faith. (2) Faith's obedience, defined in the first instance as perseverance, is the link between present justification by faith...

Obedience and disobedience have always been salient issues for both civil society and social psychologists. Since Milgram's first studies on destructive obedience there has not been a bottom-up definition of what obedience and disobedience mean. The current study aimed at investigating the social representations young adults use to define and to co-construct knowledge about obedience and disobe...

This article traces the history of obedience experiments that have used the Milgram paradigm. It begins with Stanley Milgram's graduate education, showing how some aspects of that experience laid the groundwork for the obedience experiments. It then identifies three factors that led Milgram to study obedience. The underlying principles or messages that Milgram thought could be extracted from hi...

Liberals and conservatives disagree about obeying authorities, with conservatives holding the more positive views. We suggest that reactions to conservative authorities, rather than to obedience itself, are responsible for the division. Past findings that conservatives favor obedience uniformly confounded obedience with conservative authorities. We break down obedience to authority into its con...

Jerry M. Burger's partial replication of Stanley Milgram's (1963, 1965, 1974) classic experiments on obedience to authority is considered from the viewpoint of a contributor and witness to the original obedience experiments. Although Burger's replication succeeded in terms of gaining the approval of his local institutional review board, it did so by removing a large portion of the stressful cir...

Professors Jessica Bulman-Pozen and David Pozen (BP&P) strikingly identify and intriguingly elaborate a new category of political dissent, uncivil obedience, which they propose serves as a complement to the betterknown political category civil disobedience.1 Civil disobedience familiarly involves law-breaking that aims not at impunity but rather legal reform and thus arises in the context of re...

Reciprocity norm in the U.S. Congress and state assemblies has been studied extensively. By contrast, obedience norms frequently observed in many legislative bodies outside the United States have received relatively little attention. We seek to provide an evolutionary account of obedience norms. Drawing on a detailed observation of the legislative game in the Korean National Assembly, we model ...

Event-related potentials (ERPs) were used in this study to explore the neural mechanism of obedience and conformity on the model of online book purchasing. Participants were asked to decide as quickly as possible whether to buy a book based on limited information including its title, keywords and number of positive and negative reviews. Obedience was induced by forcing participants to buy books...

ḥasan ṣabbāḥ’s specific leadership style and his followers’ specific style of obedience, because of his followers’ unquestionable and voluntary obedience to him, is one of the most outstanding examples for stylistics studies of leadership and unquestionable obedience. unquestionable obedience of the ismā‘īlīs to the leadership of ḥasan ṣabbāḥ in a totally voluntary condition and to the cost of ...

THE previous study of the obedience of faith in Romans was an attempt to determine exegetically the meaning of Paul’s unique phrase u[pakoh> pi<stewj. It was concluded that the phrase is deliberately ambiguous, denoting simultaneously the obedience which is faith and the obedience which is the product of faith. Because of its essentially two-sided character, it was suggested that the notion of...
