Carl Jung And Yehuda Halevi: Imagination, Symbols And The Loss Of The Sacred, Jeff Robinson
Carl Jung And Yehuda Halevi: Imagination, Symbols And The Loss Of The Sacred, Jeff Robinson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this project, we offered an examination of the work of Yehuda Halevi and Carl Jung. The thesis for this project is that these two thinkers offer very similar perspectives on a number of ideas, central of which is the dichotomy between the use primacy of the intellect and the imaginative faculty of man. While other researchers in passing with one another frequently mention these two thinkers, a full examination of their works has not been offered before. This project will offer a unique exploration of the works of Jung and Halevi.

Scripture And Self In Origen Of Alexandria's Exegetical Practice, Micah David Saxton
Scripture And Self In Origen Of Alexandria's Exegetical Practice, Micah David Saxton
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation I examine the nature of scripture and the self as presented by Origen of Alexandria.

A Divine Round Trip: The Literary And Christological Function Of The Descent/Ascent Leitmotif In The Gospel Of John, Susan Elizabeth Humble
A Divine Round Trip: The Literary And Christological Function Of The Descent/Ascent Leitmotif In The Gospel Of John, Susan Elizabeth Humble
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The thesis of this dissertation is that the Descent/Ascent Leitmotif, which includes the language of not only descending and ascending, but also going, coming, and being sent, performs a significant literary and christological function in the Gospel of John. The Evangelist's Descent/Ascent Leitmotif becomes the Gospel's organizing principal, drawing together a constellation of verbs and a number of themes, including Jesus-Son's origin, identity, relationship to God, authority, signs and works, life, and glory.
In the introductory chapter, after providing a layout of the dissertation, the discussion turns to the spacial dimensions and christological importance of the vertical and horizontal depictions …
