The Great Goddess: Her Vestiges Uncovered In Three Patriarchal Religions (Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism)., Janette Orr
The Great Goddess: Her Vestiges Uncovered In Three Patriarchal Religions (Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism)., Janette Orr
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Great Goddesses held real power in the Ancient World, whether in goddess-dominated religions or god-dominated religions, where the goddesses played subordinate roles. The feminine principle was always present, unlike in the three patriarchal religions under study: Judaism, Christianity and Buddhism. What happened to the Goddesses in these religions? The gods and male founders of these religions appropriated the Great Goddesses' powers of creating and sustaining life, and the Great Goddesses' powers over the process of death and renewal/regeneration/rebirth. They debased or subordinated the Goddesses' key symbols--the serpent, the tree, the earth, and the moon. By comparing goddess-dominant myths or …
The Biblical Book Of Ruth: A Feminist Literary Reading., Kaija Helena Anneli Ranta
The Biblical Book Of Ruth: A Feminist Literary Reading., Kaija Helena Anneli Ranta
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The book of Ruth has been widely accepted as being a positive text for and about women in the Hebrew Bible. Frequently described as being 'delightful' or 'whimsical', it is regarded as a fine example of a short story with full and complete characters. Naomi's perseverance, Ruth's faithfulness, as well as the deity's providence are examples of this view. The book is seen as one of only a few remnants of women's experience recorded in the patriarchal book of the Hebrew Bible. Through careful re-reading, I revealed hidden complexities contained within this text. In the process, inconsistencies of the characters, …
The Right To Life And Death: What Do Presbyterians Say?, Mary Templer
The Right To Life And Death: What Do Presbyterians Say?, Mary Templer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis describes the official positions of the Presbyterian Church in Canada on capital punishment, abortion and euthanasia, and the process the Church underwent to arrive at these positions. The theological and ethical principles upon which these positions are based are evaluated, and the work of the authors referred to by the Presbyterian Church in its research is discussed. Five ordained Presbyterian ministers and twelve lay Presbyterians were interviewed with a view to discovering their understanding of the Presbyterian Church's positions on capital punishment, abortion and euthanasia, their personal opinions and experiences of these issues, and their perceived role of …
Bereavement After Miscarriage: Implications For Pastoral Care., Catherine L. Mackendrick
Bereavement After Miscarriage: Implications For Pastoral Care., Catherine L. Mackendrick
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the dilemma women experience when they have a miscarriage. The tension between their perception of its significance and the perception of those around them, create difficulties for them as they attempt to integrate the event into their life-pattern. The social and psychological setting for miscarriage, the dynamics of perinatal bereavement, and models of care are reviewed. The theological and philosophical background of dualistic attitudes towards women and their bodies is examined in the work of traditional and feminist theologians. An examination of the results of interviews with twenty women who had miscarried within the previous four years …
Dignity: The Organization (Homosexuals, Catholic)., Diane R. Pawlowski
Dignity: The Organization (Homosexuals, Catholic)., Diane R. Pawlowski
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study examines Dignity, a voluntary organization comprised of gay and lesbian Roman Catholics, and their friends. The research project asks how Dignity can survive in the face of hostility from the Church hierarchy. This opposition has been expressed by the 1986 Vatican document, "Letter to the Bishops of the World on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons," and in the resulting expulsion of twenty-seven local Dignity chapters from their home parishes. Dignity's position on sexual ethics places it in opposition to traditional Church teaching. This study discusses Dignity's position on sexual ethics, examining Dignity documents and position papers, including …
Trimorphic Protennoia And The Wisdom Tradition: Protennoia And Sophia., Rosemary Halford
Trimorphic Protennoia And The Wisdom Tradition: Protennoia And Sophia., Rosemary Halford
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Coptic writing Trimorphic Protennoia (Nag Hammadi Codex XIII, 1) has a complicated literary stratigraphy that must be respected to permit a coherent thematic analysis. The writing contains superficial Christianization, several Sethian cosmological and baptismal sections and an aretalogical base layer. A comparative analysis shows that the aretalogical material demonstrates great affinity with writings of the Hellenistic Jewish sapiential tradition. Non-canonical sapiential speculation demonstrates an increasingly sectarian attitude toward Sophia which led to her outright gnosticization, as attested by Trimorphic Protennoia. The many parallels among Jewish Sophia, Protennoia as a wisdom figure, and the johannine Jesus confirm that the Fourth …

The S. P. G. In New England, 1760-1784: A Social Aspect Of The American Revolution, Irving Henry King
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The history of the religious organizations in New England during the American Revolution has been written largely in terms of the experience of the Congregational Church. That is natural, for the part played by the Congregational Church loomed larger there than that of any other denomination, and it was the Congregational organization which took some of the most important steps in initiating the colonial resistance which led to independence. But while the role of the Anglican Church in the crisis was not so significant as that of the Congregational it certainly was not trivial. It constitutes a story that deserves …

George Meredith's Ideas Of Religion., Mary Ellis Duncan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Every man is to a greater or less degree a product of the influences surrounding his life. The more commonplace minds of the race, no doubt, are chiefly affected; and occasionally we find a man or woman of so keen an intellect, so striking an individuality, that it is difficult to trace the influence of his age upon him. Rather he becomes a power in forming the opinions of the next generation, stands in advance of his own period. Of this individualistic type if George Meredith, one of the greatest of the nineteenth century writers, if not foremost among them.

History Of The Churches Of Louisville With Special Reference To Slavery., Homer E. Wickenden
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the one hundred and forty years of Louisville's existence, it has grown from a log cabin settlement with no churches to a city with 269 churches and church property valued at over $30,000,000. It is impossible to measure the moral and religious force that they have exerted on the city. It can best be appreciated when one thinks of what the city would be without them. Few of us would care to live in such a city. In the field of education, Louisville churches have contributed much. Some of the first schools in the city were conducted by ministers, …

The Religious Element In The Popular Ballads., Elizabeth Phillips Mcconathy
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present study of the religious element in the popular ballads is based largely on Mr. George L. Kittredge's edition of Mr. Francis J. Child's collection of English and Scottish popular ballads, the completeness of which, up to this time, has not been disputed.* Mr. Kittredge has printed in his volume one or more versions of every ballad which Mr. Child has given as an authentic folk ballad (omitting Nos. 33, 279, 281, 290 and 291), besides including a few of somewhat doubtful origin. It has not been judged necessary for the purposes of this article to discuss more than …
