A Comparison Of The Contentions Of The Value Of Existence In The Process Aesthetic Theory Of The Metaphysics Of Alfred North Whitehead And "The Plague" Of Albert Camus., Sarah J. Roebuck
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Jewish And Hellenistic Influences On Paul: A Case Study Of "Mysterion" (Saint Paul)., Christopher Gary Fraser
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This section will look not only at the use of the word mysterion within the mystery cults, but also at the way it developed in other areas. …
