“Soldiers Of Industry”: Women In The Canadian Labour Force, 1939-1951, Roslyn Louise Cluett

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The following paper is a study of the impact of World War II on Canadian women’s participation in the labour force between 1939 and 1951. The role which women played in the Canadian labour force prior to the outbreak of the war is discussed, as well as women’s experiences during the war years and the immediate postwar period. The paper demonstrates that, far from having the emanicipating effect which one might expect, women’s wartime experiences had relatively little lasting impact on their position in the labour force during the postwar period. The King government regarded women’s increased involvement in the …

A Theological Assessment Of Paulo Freire's View Of Education In Terms Of The Perspective Of Juergen Moltmann, Janice Davies

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Education helps to shape the values and attitudes of students, and is therefore important in determining the values of society. For this reason, it is important for teachers to be aware of the philosophy of education which informs their teaching methods. It is also helpful if they are aware of other philosophies of education in order to get some perspective on their own views. To this end I have taken a critical look at the philosophy of Paulo Freire, an educator with excellent credentials who has some throught-provoking views on education. He is a Christian so he can provide a …

American Fundamentalism And Nuclear Deterrence A Critique, Glen Robert Amy

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This paper is an attempt to deal with two trends which have recently received a great deal of attention. One trend is an increasing questioning of the role which nuclear deterrence plays in securing a better world for our own and future generations. The other trend is the rise of the New Christian Right and its mixing of religion and American patriotism. These two trends have come face to face in the New Christian Right’s emphasis on restoring American superiority in its relative position to the Soviet Union—a country which they believe is the source of a monolithic Communist threat. …

Imagining God A Critical Review Of The Theology And Method Of Gordon D. Kaufman, H. Victor Froese

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The first four chapters constitute a historical survey of Kaufman’s works. My thesis is that the development of Kaufman’s thought can best be understood as his attempt to take a consistently historicist position vis-à-vis the issues that present themselves to him. By “historicism” I mean that way of thinking that takes the categories presupposed in history (linear time, empirical space, human freedom and other derivative notions) as its primary ones as opposed to the classical terms of essence, nature, and substance. The survey involves a discussion of Kaufman’s Ph.D. thesis (ch. 1), his systematic theological efforts (ch. 2), his search …

Emil Brunner's Theological Anthropology A Neo-Thomistic Critique, Arden Paul Schellert

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

1. This thesis is an examination and critique of Emil Brunner’s theological anthropology from the Neo-Thomistic perspective. Emil Brunner’s doctrine of man is examined under three thematic headings: first, man and knowledge (or theology and the philosophy of science), second, man and God (ontology), and third, man in the world (ethical implications). In the first section Brunner argues that man can only be properly understood in light of the complete revealed Christian system. This is because man is in some way separated from his origin in God and engaged in persistent rebellion against Him. Thus, the human quest for knowledge …

Mythos And Metaphor In The Apocalypse Northrop Frye's Literary Criticism Applied To The Book Of Revelation, Daniel Nightswander

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Northrop Frye’s book, The Great Code, published in 1981, drew attention to his interest in applying his own brand of literary criticism to the Bible. However, he did not comment in detail on any portion of the Bible in this book, choosing rather to make general statements about his approach and theories. The present thesis applies Frye’s theories to a single biblical book, namely the Apocalypse, after a brief review of Frye’s seminal works, Anatomy of Criticism and The Great Code. Two issues in understanding the Apocalypse are raised. They concern the structure, which is discussed in Frye’s category of …

The Late Bronze Age Temple In Palestine, Thomas Glen Lee

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The purpose of this thesis is to study the temples of the Late Bronze Period found within the geographical area of Palestine. A number of previous studies have been done on this subject, but they have principally been all inclusive works, and have not dealt with any specific time period. In the present study, a number of factors have been considered. The ground-plans of the various temples, as well as their locations within the city plan, have been investigated both chronologically and geographically. The interior elements and objects have also been studied. The purpose is to try to discern if …

A Comparison Of The Theology Of Salvation In The Teachings Of Martin Luther And Joseph Smith, Jr, Gordon Frank Hodgins

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This thesis is a comparative survey on the teachings of Martin Luther and Joseph Smith, Jr. about salvation. Biographical material is also examined to understand the historic influences upon their teachings. A number of similarities in teaching are noted, including belief in Jesus Christ, the need for faith, God’s grace is unmerited, good works follow faith, and there will be a divine Judgment. Areas of disagreement include predestination vs free will, the means of confessing faith in Christ, importance of future life vs present life, personal vs social nature of salvation, and the nature of priesthood as related to salvation.

James Layton Ralston And Manpower For The Canadian Army, John Robinson Campbell

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This thesis is a study of one aspect of the public career of James Layton Ralston (1881-1948), soldier, lawyer, politician and Minister of National Defense 1940-1944. Ralston was a man known to all Canadians during the Second World War, but after his forced resignation from the Cabinet in the fall of 1944 he ceased to play a prominent public role and war largely forgotten. Historians, working within the traditional framework of Liberal-national unity historiography, have been content to stereotype Ralston as an Empire-minded conscriptionist whose policies threatened national unity. No biography of this major Canadian politician has been written and …

Forgiveness And Recidivism, Doris Donnelly

Doris Donnelly

The teaching of Jesus on limitless forgiveness is a difficult one with which to reckon, especially when an offense is repeated again and again (recidivism}, sometimes by the same offender. This article finds in the gospel of Matthew (Matt. 18:15-17} and Paul's letters to the Corinthians (I Cor 5:2-11 and II Cor 2:5-8} a model of forgiveness that is assertive, confrontative and direct in style, pastoral in application and reconciling in spirit.
