The Individual's Personality, His Exposure To E. G. White's Writings, And His Perception Of E. G. White, Rainer K. P. Isecke

White".

Mrs. Gaskell's Industrial Novels: Mary Barton And North And South, Yvette D. Marambaud
Mrs. Gaskell's Industrial Novels: Mary Barton And North And South, Yvette D. Marambaud
Master's Theses
Since 1910, when Mrs. Gaskell's centenary was celebrated, few articles have been written about her. Except for her Life of Charlotte Bronte, she is not really well known in America. Few people read her tales or her short stories, and her novels are quite neglected. Yet her industrial novels, Mary Barton (1848) and North and South (1855), were very successful when they were first published. Mary Barton was an immediate success - perhaps in part because of the controversies it aroused.
A Study Of Chaucer's Influence On English Literature Through Dryden, Elder Blair Apperson
A Study Of Chaucer's Influence On English Literature Through Dryden, Elder Blair Apperson
Master's Theses
Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the greatest poets of our English literature. If Shakespeare stands apart as our greatest, then it is John Milton who must dispute with Chaucer the honor of second place.

On one hand we have Chaucer, the grave and serious poet.always keenly conscious that "our human life is a shifting quicksand of mutability, that lasting happiness can never be our earthly portion;" whereas we have but …

The Influence Of Plato On Philo, Ephraim Shimoff
Master's Theses
Very little is known about the life of Philo-Judaeus of Alexandria, but from his writings we see that he was one of the most spiritually-minded thinkers of his time. He came from an influencial Jewish family and was trained in Greek as well as in Jewish learning. A citizen of the place which was at once the chief heme of the Jewish Dispersion and the chief censer of Hellenistic culture, he owes his position in the history of religious thought which we find in his voluminous writings, to that remarkable fusion of Judaism and Hellenism. He sought to bring harmony …
Kant's Idea Of The Origin Of Evil And Its Influence On Recent Theology, Wade Hamilton Boggs Jr.
Kant's Idea Of The Origin Of Evil And Its Influence On Recent Theology, Wade Hamilton Boggs Jr.
Master's Theses
Our problem is rather clearly and brlefly suggested in the title of this thesis. It is to ascertain and set forth Kant's idea of the origin of evil, and then to trace its influence upon recent theology. The problem is complicated by the act that there are contradictory positions set forth by Kant in different ones of his works. The problem is further complicated by the fact that while certain recent theologians of great contemporary influence have undoubtedly been influenced by Kant, they have been influenced only in certain particulars of their theology and not in others. lt is also …
