F.F. Bruce: A Life, By Tim Grass, Craighton T. Hippenhammer
F.F. Bruce: A Life, By Tim Grass, Craighton T. Hippenhammer
Faculty Scholarship – Library Science
Frederick Fyvie Bruce (1910-1990) was one of the most influential evangelical biblical scholars of the last half of the Twentieth Century within the UK and the United States at a time when highly respected evangelical academics were rare and almost non-existent. Over his lifetime he wrote over two thousand articles and reviews plus four dozen books, mostly about the Bible, biblical commentary and interpretation, and classical language translation. His approach was nonsectarian and inclusive, from the standpoint of insightful biblical translation rather than systematized theology. This biography is a fully realized, in-depth treatment, covering both Bruce’s academic career and personal …
The Enchanter's Spell: J.R.R. Tolkien's Mythopoetic Response To Modernism, Adam D. Gorelick
The Enchanter's Spell: J.R.R. Tolkien's Mythopoetic Response To Modernism, Adam D. Gorelick
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
J.R.R. Tolkien was not only an author of fantasy but also a philologist who theorized about myth. Theorists have employed various methods of analyzing myth, and this thesis integrates several analyses, including Tolkien’s. I address the roles of doctrine, ritual, cross-cultural patterns, mythic expressions in literature, the literary effect of myth, evolution of language and consciousness, and individual invention over inheritance and diffusion. Beyond Tolkien’s English and Catholic background, I argue for eclectic influence on Tolkien, including resonance with Buddhism.
Tolkien views mythopoeia, literary mythmaking, in terms of sub-creation, human invention in the image of God as creator. Key mythopoetic …
Review Of The Dead Sea Scrolls In Context: Integrating The Dead Sea Scrolls In The Study Of Ancient Texts, Languages, And Cultures, Edited By Armin Lange, Emanuel Tov, And Matthias Weigold, In Association With Bennie H. Reynolds Iii., Sidnie White Crawford
Sidnie White Crawford Publications
These two massive volumes comprise the proceedings of a conference of the same name held at the University of Vienna in February 2008. The purpose of the conference, and the proceedings volumes, in the words of the editors, is “to integrate the Dead Sea Scrolls fully into the various disciplines that benefit from the discovery of these very important texts” (vol. 1, p. x). As a result, the papers contained in these volumes are wideranging, written by specialists in the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) as well as in other disciplines. The volumes will thus appeal to scholars in a variety …

In 1623 artists in Italy witnessed the return of " tl1e golden age of painting." Fifty-five year old Maffeo Barberini had just been elected as the nev Pope, and claimed the name Urban VIII . Shortly after bis election the new Pope set out on a process of"beautifyin11 Rome," essential! continuing the path set b the popes that had preceded him; Urban VIII, perhaps feeling the pre ·ure to con ince the orld that Rome wa the spiritual capitol of the Catholic community, saw these building projects as a way to "stitle doubts within Italy itself," and saw the Baroque …
Evidence From Flaws: Hellenistic Ceramic Production At Podere Funghi (Vicchio Di Mugello), Robert E. Vander Poppen
Evidence From Flaws: Hellenistic Ceramic Production At Podere Funghi (Vicchio Di Mugello), Robert E. Vander Poppen
Faculty Publications
From 1996–2006, excavators of the Mugello Valley Archaeological Project documented two important contexts for understanding Hellenistic period ceramic production at Podere Funghi near the sanctuary at Poggio Colla: a kiln-waster midden, and a series of kilns located in the vicinity of a small residential structure. This article consists of the results of a visual and metric examination of the fineware material from the midden. The examination assessed the nature and prevalence of specific firing flaws associated with the productive process, and the data derived from this study are used to reconstruct some of the technical challenges faced by the Podere …
Client Prefects?: Rome And The Cottians In The Western Alps, Carolynn Roncaglia
Client Prefects?: Rome And The Cottians In The Western Alps, Carolynn Roncaglia
Classics
The Alpine Cottian dynasty offers a model of reaction to and manipulation of Roman authority. Through their monuments and benefactions, the Cottians presented themselves to a domestic audience in a manner that blurred the distinction between Roman and Cottian accomplishments and presented the new alliance in a positive light.

Domitian's Lightning Bolts And Close Shaves In Pliny, Thomas E. Strunk
Domitian's Lightning Bolts And Close Shaves In Pliny, Thomas E. Strunk
Faculty Scholarship
Pliny's portrayal of his public life under Domitian has often come under fire from both those who approach Pliny'sLettersfrom a historical perspective and those who study them as a literary production. This article reevaluates Pliny's experiences in five significant areas: public speaking,amicitia, political promotion, threats of political persecution, and survival and reconciliation. In all of these circumstances, Pliny is found to be an honest narrator of his own political struggles under Domitian and an eloquent voice for his generation's endurance.
To The Jew First: A Socio-Historical And Biblical-Theological Analysis Of The Pauline Teaching Of `Election' In Light Of Second Temple Jewish Patterns Of Thought, Anthony Thornhill
To The Jew First: A Socio-Historical And Biblical-Theological Analysis Of The Pauline Teaching Of `Election' In Light Of Second Temple Jewish Patterns Of Thought, Anthony Thornhill
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Paul's "doctrine" of election has remained a controversial and enigmatic topic for centuries. Few studies, however, have approached Paul's doctrine through the context of Second Temple Judaism. This study examines Paul's view of election through the lens of Second Temple Jewish texts written prior to 70 CE. In doing so, it is argued that the best framework through which to view Paul's discussion of election is through a primarily corporate model of election. While such a model is rooted in Judaism, Paul departs from his Jewish contemporaries in arguing that the locus of election is in God's Messiah, Jesus.
Polykleitos: A Canon Of Beauty And Perfection, Amy Schuman
Polykleitos: A Canon Of Beauty And Perfection, Amy Schuman
Student Scholarship
When one uses the term ‘antiquity’ they usually think of ancient Rome and ancient Greece. This usually comes to mind since they are the most referenced ancient cultures from history. The ancient Greeks are thought of as great innovators in all academic fields, making advances far beyond their own time. Ancient Romans, although, were a great influence but they borrowed from the Greeks. The surviving knowledge of the ancient Greeks is attributed to the Romans, for without their faithful copying and studies of prized Grecian sculpture most would have been lost to time. Most Greek ‘originals’ were lost but Roman …
The Contemporary Relevance Of The Iliad, Erwin F. Cook
The Contemporary Relevance Of The Iliad, Erwin F. Cook
Classical Studies Faculty Research
I initially balked at the request to talk about the contemporary relevance of Homeric poetry. I did so because I am of the camp that maintains great art does not need to be defended on these terms, which is to say its skill, beauty, and profundity give it all the relevance it needs to be of lasting relevance. But I do recognize that my justification, which also keeps me from studying ancient graffiti and medieval doorknockers, assumes that at some level of remove there are enduring qualities to these works that do indeed, and will always, give them contemporary relevance. …
Subverting A Mythology: Examining Joseph Campbell's Monomyth In The Fiction Of H. P. Lovecraft, Wesley Vandenbos
Subverting A Mythology: Examining Joseph Campbell's Monomyth In The Fiction Of H. P. Lovecraft, Wesley Vandenbos
Masters Theses
American horror author H. P. Lovecraft's tales of monsters and madness, collectively known as the Cthulhu Mythos, have exploded in popularity in the last few decades and attracted both critical and casual interest. Inspired by his childhood mythological readings, Lovecraft created these chilling stories as a more modern version of ancient myths, drawing upon yet subtly altering the sources that influenced him. The author of this thesis draws attention to the differences between classic myths and the Cthulhu Mythos, using the monomyth of Joseph Campbell as a framework through which to view both ancient mythologies and Lovecraft's tales. This thesis …

Asclepios, M.D.? The Ancient Greeks And Integrative Medicine, Anna T. Wiley
Asclepios, M.D.? The Ancient Greeks And Integrative Medicine, Anna T. Wiley
Honors Bachelor of Arts
The healing at the Sanctuaries of Asclepios in antiquity was thought to occur due to divine intervention, so it is often assumed in modernity that any healing which took place was product of ancient spirituality or had no legitimate medical foundation. The practices in the temples are cloudy, with Pausanias, Aristophanes, Aelius Aristides, steles, and votive offerings providing the bulk of the evidence. Due to the limited evidence available of what occurred in these sanctuaries, evidence of healing at Asclepieia is analyzed through a modern Integrative Medicine lens, specifically showing how techniques similar to optimal healing environments, hypnosis, and imagery …
The Psychopathology Of Everyday Athens: Euripides On The Freudian Couch, Brendan C. Chisholm
The Psychopathology Of Everyday Athens: Euripides On The Freudian Couch, Brendan C. Chisholm
Honors Bachelor of Arts
Freud’s theories suggest that authors often describe aspects of their own self-image, or their interpretation of the people around them, in individual characters or themes. Using this idea, I will perform a psychological study of characters and themes in four of Euripides’ plays, the Medea, Bacchae, Hecuba, and Trojan Women, then apply Freud’s Dream Work theory to conclusions about the plays in an effort to open a window into the psychology of Euripides himself.
The Application Of Second Language Acquisition Theory To New Testament Greek Pedagogy, Josiah P. Wegner
The Application Of Second Language Acquisition Theory To New Testament Greek Pedagogy, Josiah P. Wegner
Senior Honors Theses
The effect of outdated NT Greek pedagogy has left many seminary students ill-equipped to properly exegete using the NT Greek language. Many seminary students graduate with a firm knowledge of syntactic rules, but they are still unable to read the NT text without having to constantly consult a Greek grammar and dictionary. Even though the current style of teaching has been used for many years, research in second language acquisition has exposed that the traditional translation method has many flaws. One of these researchers, Stephen Krashen, has identified that the key to language competence is not learning vocabulary and grammar …
The Sacred Command Of The Lord My Brother The Emperor Should Have Come As Something Not To Neglect, Jacqueline Long
The Sacred Command Of The Lord My Brother The Emperor Should Have Come As Something Not To Neglect, Jacqueline Long
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Late Roman stereotypes assigned women certain powers.1 Thus for example, when the elder but not senior emperor Theodosius faced a choice between defending the interests of Valentinian II, his ineffective colleague from the previous dynasty, or acceding to the aggression of Magnus Maximus, his countryman, an unimpeachably orthodox Catholic, a proven effective general, and as an emperor one whose imperium Theodosius had recognized,2 Valentinian’s Arian mother Justina could be understood to have swayed Theodosius decisively by offering him her daughter Galla in marriage.3 This scenario enabled hostile interpreters to trivialize Theodosius’s decision as irresponsible appetite and to belittle its execution …

Nietzsche’S Zarathustra And Parodic Style: On Lucian’S Hyperanthropos And Nietzsche’S Übermensch, Babette Babich
Nietzsche’S Zarathustra And Parodic Style: On Lucian’S Hyperanthropos And Nietzsche’S Übermensch, Babette Babich
Articles and Chapters in Academic Book Collections
It is well-known that as a term, Nietzsche’s Übermensch derives from Lucian of Samosata’s hyperanthropos. I argue that Zarathustra’s teaching of the overman acquires new resonances by reflecting on the context of that origination from Lucian’s Kataplous – literally, “sailing into port” – referring to the soul’s journey (ferried by Charon, guided by Hermes) into the afterlife. The Kataplous he tyrannos, usually translated Downward Journey or The Tyrant, is a Menippean satire of the “overman” who is imagined to be superior to others of “lesser” station in this-worldly life and the same tyrant after his (comically unwilling) …

“Under The Seams Runs The Pain”: Four Greek Sources And Analogues For The Modern Monster In Anne Carson’S Autobiography Of Red, Joshua M. Carmel
Student Publications
This work seeks to explore the monster figure in its evolution from the Classical to the contemporary literary canons. Using Geryon, a three-headed and red-hued monster, as the central figure and Carson’s 1998 verse novel Autobiography of Red, it evaluates the underpinnings of the alienated “other” and attempts to shed light on its role in modern society.

Ideal And Ordinary Language In Plato's Cratylus, Franco Trivigno
Ideal And Ordinary Language In Plato's Cratylus, Franco Trivigno
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Interpreters of Plato’s Cratylus are faced with a puzzle. If Socrates’ etymologies (397a-421c) are intended to be parodies, as many have thought,[1] what is the status of the imitation theory of letters (421c-427d), which provides the theoretical foundation for etymology and, as some have thought, indicates Plato’s ambition to construct an ideal language?[2] In this paper, I focus on three questions: [1] whether Plato thought that imitation provided a suitable basis for an ideal language; [2] whether Plato thought that the development of an ideal language would be philosophical possible or desirable; [3] whether he thought that ordinary …

Ovid's Insight Into The Minds Of Abandoned Women, Rachel A. Bier
Ovid's Insight Into The Minds Of Abandoned Women, Rachel A. Bier
Honors Bachelor of Arts
Mythical heroines, such as Penelope of the Odyssey, often took minor roles in literature, ones in which their characters' complexities were not addressed. Ovid revived the heroines of tradition and gave them voices which expressed realistic feelings and thoughts in his Heriodes. In these fictional letters to absent lovers, Ovid creates realistic characters, each of whom reacts to her abandonment with an insightful feminine voice. By examining the heriones' voice and the ways in which the Heriodes differs from the literary tradition, and by considering the effects of the epistolary genre on the characters' voices, I argue that Ovid …
Augustine And John Paul Ii On The Goods Of Marriage: Proles, Fides, Et Sacramentum, Thomas Richard Finke
Augustine And John Paul Ii On The Goods Of Marriage: Proles, Fides, Et Sacramentum, Thomas Richard Finke
Honors Bachelor of Arts
As an example of the way in which the Church consistently presents her teachings on marriage, I intend to demonstrate the consistency between the writings of St. Augustine and John Paul II. Though they write in very different times socially and philosophically, their presentations on the good of marriage remain consistent in their conclusions. The framework for this presentation will be the three goods of marriage as defined by Augustine: procreation, fidelity, and the sacrament. Augustine defined these goods in his De bono coniugali, and John Paul II contains them in his writings: Familiaris Consortio, Mulieris Dignitatem, …

We Should Always Call The Receptacle The Same Thing: Timaeus 50b6-51b6, Christopher Buckels
We Should Always Call The Receptacle The Same Thing: Timaeus 50b6-51b6, Christopher Buckels
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Plato’s Timaeus is a challenge to understand and to interpret, but its central ontological innovation, a third kind in addition to the standard Platonic categories of Being and Becoming, is, even according to Timaeus himself, a murky and difficult topic. I endeavor to shed a meager light on this shadowy entity, the Receptacle of all Becoming, by examining an argument Timaeus gives for the claim that “we should always call it the same thing” (50b6-7).[1] This claim comes immediately after the famous gold analogy, about which I will say only a few words, and so it also closely follows …
