Algunos Valores En El Teatro De Nelson Rodrigues., Enrique CortéS
Algunos Valores En El Teatro De Nelson Rodrigues., Enrique CortéS
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
Entre los dramaturgos contemporáneos del Brasil, Nelson Rodrigues, es acaso el más inquieto e inquietante. Vigorosa personalidad literaria, de permanente producción en géneros distintos, autor, periodista, próximo siempre al acontecer contemporáneo y a la angustia del hombre, su obra toda se teñirá a la ves de vitalidad actual y de búsqueda transcendental sin que haya contradicciónen ambos planos. El hecho de que sea la tragedia su modo de expression teatral preferido subraya aun más el interés del artista por la condición del hombre.
The Serpent Motif In Genesis 3: Some Systematic Implications Drawn From Its Place In The Thought Of Early Israel, John Gienapp
The Serpent Motif In Genesis 3: Some Systematic Implications Drawn From Its Place In The Thought Of Early Israel, John Gienapp
Master of Divinity Thesis
This paper will attempt to explore the meaning of the serpent in Canaanite culture to see if it is likely that the writer of Genesis 3 was opposing Canaanite religion. This paper will first mention some of them any parallels betoken Canaanite and Israelite religion, pointing out particularly the continuing syncretism among the Israelites. Then by an examination of archaeological materials from Palestine, supported by other archaeological data from the Mediterranean area, an attempt will be made to state the meaning of the serpent in Canaanite religion. If it can be shown possible that the serpent in Genesis 3reflects a …
Oscar Cullmann's Concept Of Time, John Fuchs
Oscar Cullmann's Concept Of Time, John Fuchs
Master of Divinity Thesis
In the foreword to the second edition of his book Christ and Time, Oscar Cullmann admits that this work is not intended to answer the questions raised by systematic theology. He goes on, to claim that the giving of such answers is not the real task of a New Testament scholar like himself, nor, in his opinion, should it be. In his own words: Is it not the most valuable service that the New Testament scholar can render to the systematic theologian that he permits the questions that are not solved in the New Testament itself to stand as questions? …
The Eastern Orthodox Doctrine Of Grace With A Lutheran Perspective, James Childs
The Eastern Orthodox Doctrine Of Grace With A Lutheran Perspective, James Childs
Master of Divinity Thesis
The intention of this study is twofold: In the first place, we are attempting to isolate the meaning of "grace” in the Eastern Orthodox Church - if indeed it can be stated in comprehensive form. In the second place, we are attempting to view the Eastern doctrine of grace in a Lutheran perspective. The primary purpose rests in the first phase, the investigation of the Eastern teaching of grace. This purpose is probably best-defined in terms of the writer’s personal enlightenment on the subject rather than in terms of a contribution of new findings. The subsidiary purpose, then, is in …
The View Of Language In The Theology Of Rudolf Bultmann, John Groh
The View Of Language In The Theology Of Rudolf Bultmann, John Groh
Bachelor of Divinity
Chapter I shall serve as a summary for this paper. I take the liberty of speaking in the first person in order to specify what my concern has been, and to summarize the conclusions I have reached, In this study I have attempted to determine what influence Rudolf Bultmann's theology has had upon his usage of language. This attempt has led, simultaneously, to the characterization of his view of language. Finally, I have attempted a critical evaluation of his theology, and with it a concurrent evaluation of the view of language which finds its genesis within that theology.

The Relationship Of The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ To His Work Of Reconcilliation In The Light Of The Covenant Idea, Kenneth Block
The Relationship Of The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ To His Work Of Reconcilliation In The Light Of The Covenant Idea, Kenneth Block
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The problem which this thesis investigates is the relationship of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to His work of reconciliation. The study of this .question is significant because the relationship of these two articles of faith has central importance in God's redemptive acts of salvation.
The author contends that the relationship between resurrection and reconciliation can be seen in the key idea of a covenant. The concept of a covenant is significant in the Old Testament. The Mosaic covenant is the most explicit example. The New Testament writers were thoroughly imbued with Old Testament concepts. To understand the import of …

The Orc Symbol In William Blake's Works, Michael James Finnigan
The Orc Symbol In William Blake's Works, Michael James Finnigan
Graduate Student Research Papers
A study of Orc, Blake's symbol for energy, suggests several different hypotheses. This paper intends to test the hypothesis that Orc is a force. With the use of illustrations and explications, Orc becomes more clearly a symbol of Blake's imaginative form. This energy will be seen at each level of Blake's visions, each different psychological stage, and at the highest level, poetic imagination. Thus, as the creator creates, the creation becomes the molded form of the creator's imagination.
An Analysis Of The Rules Describing The Use Of Subordination, Mildred Eastwood Mcbride
An Analysis Of The Rules Describing The Use Of Subordination, Mildred Eastwood Mcbride
Graduate Student Research Papers
Subordination is not Mt. Everest, but neither is it a molehill which can be covered in one easy step, and this is what our textbooks try to do. Unfortunately, there is no single easy way to teach the use of subordination, and this paper cannot offer any positive remedy for the inadequacies of our college handbooks. It will, however, discuss the varieties of opinions about the subject, explore several possible approaches, and offer some suggestions for a changed method of teaching subordination to our students.

An Investigation Of Italian Singing Practices Of The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Centuries, George C. White
An Investigation Of Italian Singing Practices Of The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Centuries, George C. White
Graduate Student Research Papers
Many contemporary documented sources have substantiated the claims of earlier scholars that singing in the eighteenth century reached such a high point of skill and virtuosity that it has never since been equaled. If the above is true, it would seem that an investigation of the early singing schools would be of value to contemporary teachers and students of singing, in as much as various vocal theories seem to advocate differences of opinion.
Ethical Values For Living: A Study Of The Ethical Teachings Contained In The Epistle Of James, Wayne S. Smith
Ethical Values For Living: A Study Of The Ethical Teachings Contained In The Epistle Of James, Wayne S. Smith
OBU Graduate Theses
The social and ethical concepts laid down by the early Jewish Christians have proved to be profound guides for churches and individual Christians. The Epistle of James, which is representative of first century Jewish literature, deals with significant social and ethical values. These social and ethical values are the very heart of the message of the Epistle of James.
Consequently, these values become a practical guide to the layman, who is not trained in theology, in applying Christian principles in daily life relationships. The primary problem in this study was to determine the significant ethical values in the Epistle of …

Polish Settlement At Yalta: An Act Of Betrayal Or An Act Of Realism?, Harold R. Mogg
Graduate Student Research Papers
With all of this apparent concern by the Big Three regarding Poland, why has there been so much criticism of the Polish settlement at Yalta? Did Roosevelt and Churchill actually appease Stalin in regard to the Polish settlement? What was this settlement at Yalta--an act of betrayal or an act of realism? This is the confusing question that the writer of this paper will attempt to answer.

Leisure Time In Eighteenth-Century Virginia, Andrew Jackson Johnson
Leisure Time In Eighteenth-Century Virginia, Andrew Jackson Johnson
Master's Theses
Eighteenth-century Virginia was strikingly agrarian. Tobacco planting on the plantations and farms created an ever-increasing need for new land. The growth of a dispersed rural society reacted against the formation of urban focal units and a middle class. This society did create, because of the endemic loneliness of the country, a people who desired companionship and proved to be gregarious and convivial.
The hospitality for which Virginians are well known was very much in evidence at this period and served in a subtle way to offer diversion to both guest and host. Travelers were invited to the plantations and farms …
Ailred Of Riveaulx The Consistency Of His Life And Writings With His Thought And His Profession As Cistercian Monk, Tyrrell Hughes
Ailred Of Riveaulx The Consistency Of His Life And Writings With His Thought And His Profession As Cistercian Monk, Tyrrell Hughes
Masters Theses
First paragraph:
The author confesses to a profound emotional involvement with AiIred of Rievaulx, Saint of the Church and man whose love was charity, the love that is like God's love. But this zealousness on his behalf was born after analysis of and reflection on Ailred's life and writings, comparing these judgments with the treatments he has received at the hands of various scholars, among them the fine names of David Knowles, F.M. Powicke, C. H. Talbot and Aelred Squire. The initial reaction induced by the comparison was indignation at the injustice done AiIred, but much more at the seeming …

Southern Expansion In The Caribbean Region, 1850-1860, Keith Ross Speiran
Southern Expansion In The Caribbean Region, 1850-1860, Keith Ross Speiran
Masters Theses
The Background: 1846-1850
The term "Fillibuster" has a different connotation in modern times than that of a hundred years ago. Today according to The American College Dictionary, the term means, "a member of a minority in a legislative assembly who resorts to irregular or obstructive tactics to prevent the adoption of a measure generally favored, or to force a decision almost unanimously disliked." The dictionary also gives the older definition, which will be used in this paper. This meaning is "an irregular military adventurer; a freebooter or buccaneer."
The purpose of this thesis is to describe a number of …

U. S. Gold Policy From April 1933 To De Facto Stabilization Of The Dollar Upon A Gold. Basis In January 1934, Robert A. Hageman
Masters Theses
Introduction
An inadequate banking system and an attachment to monetary panaceas are both characteristic of the American past. When the Revolutionary War began, the colonist were ill-prepared to meet the growing burden of financial stress in the newly formed Confederation. In order to bring some degree of organization to the unstable monetary system, the Continental Congress fixed the ratio between gold and silver at 15.3 to 1 and authorized the issuance of Continental notes redeemable in Spanish-milled dollars or their equivalent in gold or silver. But after 1780, "continentals" depreciated so rapidly they soon ceased to circulate, and coins replaced …
