Fundamentalism
The belief that the basic claims of the Bible are fundamental to Christianity, that the miracles recorded therein are described without error, and especially that the Virgin Birth, Christ's Ressurrection, His atonement for mankind, and His imminent return must not be doubted. The recent fundamentalist movement in the American Protestant church probably has grown in reaction to "modern" Christians who find it embarrassing to insist on literal interpretation of Biblical stories. [eng]

Quietism
The system of the Quietists, a mystic Christian sect founded in the 17th century by Molinos, a Spanish priest. They maintained that religion consists of the passive contemplation of God and the submission to his will. Compare Augustianism. [eng]

Mithraism
An ancient mystery religion and the major competitor of Christianity during the 2nd and 3rd century A.D., this Persian cult worshipped Mithras, god of light and truth, and became the religion of much of the Roman Army in the region. [eng]

Mysticism
1. The belief or doctrine that knowledge can come from spiritual illumination that cannot be explained by reason. 2. In theology, a view that proposes direct communication between God and man through the inward perception of the mind. [eng]

Priscillianism
The doctrine of a Christian sect named for Priscillian, Spanish bishop of Avilla, killed for heresy in 385 A.D. in the first instance on record of execution for heresy under a Christian government (but certainly not that last!) The execution met with strong disapproval from Gregory of Tours and other distinguished eccesiastics. [eng]

Luciferianism
The doctrines of a 4th century sect called Luciferians, who taught that the soul was a carnal body transmitted to the child by its father. The Vatican has a manuscript of the Kabala with the full version of this esoteric doctrine. The Vatican, however, takes a dim view of lending rare books or publishing heresies, so it's unlikely that you'll be able to find out much more. [eng]

Doukhoborism
Beliefs of the Doukhobors (Russian for "spirit wrestlers"), a sect which split from Russian Orthodoxy in the 18th century. Exiled to Siberia for defying taxes and conscription laws, they emigrated to Canada in 1898 and are still there, where they practice communism, pacifism, and egalitarianism. [eng]

Mandaeanism
The system of religion of the Mandaeans, once a large group of believers in southern Babylonia or Mesopotamia, now limited to small parts of Iraq and Iran. They believe in Gnosticism mixed with a little Judaism and Parseeism. [eng]

Holy Rollerism
Members of a religious sect, a bizarre branch of Methodism who, when under religious fervor at their meetings, display great emotion, roll on the floor and over one another, babble in gibberish (glossollalia or "speaking in tongues") and often, in their excitement, remove their clothing. [eng]

Novationism
The principles of the Novationists, a sect led by Novatinius of Rome, who held that those whose faith or obedience had lapsed might not be received again into communion with the church, and therefore, second marriages were unlawful. [eng]

Illuminism
The doctrines of the Illuminati, a secret society founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, a law professor in Bavaria who sought a higher degree of virtue than that reached in ordinary society. The Illuminati were promptly suppressed by the Bavarian government in 1785. Pertaining to certain heretics such as the Alumbrados who appeared in Spain in 1575 and later in France. Their principle doctrine was that, through prayer, they had attained so perfect a state that they did not need ordinances, sacraments, and good works. [eng]

Mahdiism
Belief and advocacy of the doctrine that a messiah will appear as a great leader of the Islamic faithful. Among Muslims, the Mahdi is the name for a great temporal and spiritual director. Historically, some believed he had appeared but they were never sure because no leader claimed the title (as if that would prove it!) In Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini (1900-1989) probably had his eye on it, and Mahdiism explains much of his absolute power, even after his death. [eng]

Infralapsarianism
The doctrine of the Infralapsarians, a class of Calvinists who believe God planned the creation and the Fall, elected the chosen for redemption, and condemned the rest to hell. Opposite of Supralapsarianism. [eng]

Mennonitism
The practices and beliefs of the Mennonites, a anabaptist sect originating in Europe, now mainly found in North America. They oppose paedobaptism and marriage outside the faith, and are noted for their simplicity and plain dress (spiritual cousins of the Amish). [eng]

Episcopalianism
1. The doctrines and practices of the Protestant Episcopal church. Their teaching focusses on the Epistles (letters) of the Apostles. 2. A system of religion or ecclesiastical government in which bishops are distinct from and superior to priests. Bishops lead the Episcopal Church and have no superiors -- unlike Catholics, who, in addition to bishops, employ monsignors, cardinals, and Popes, all higher in rank. [eng]
