An Examination Of ΕαββατισμóΣ And ΚατáΠανσις In Hebrews 3:7-4:13 In Light Of Their Old Testament Background, Richard P. Belcher Jr.
An Examination Of ΕαββατισμóΣ And ΚατáΠανσις In Hebrews 3:7-4:13 In Light Of Their Old Testament Background, Richard P. Belcher Jr.

The Apostolic Tradition- A Study Of The Texts And Origins, And Its Eucharistic Teachings With A Special Exploration Of The Ethiopic Version, Eshetu Abate
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
This study will engage only one piece of the great body of material that is ours by way of the Ethiopic tradition. What we know of the inter-testamental period and of early Christianity would be poorer without what comes to us through the Ethiopic tradition, both where it overlaps with other traditions, and where it is unique. Among its unique witnesses of the inter-testamental period are Jubliees, 1 Book of Enoch and the Ascension of Isaiah. Of these the complete text is provided only by their Ethiopic versions. The traditions of the Early Church preserved in the Ethiopic tradition are …
A Theological Assessment Of Minjung Theology, Systematically And Biblically, Yong Wha Na
A Theological Assessment Of Minjung Theology, Systematically And Biblically, Yong Wha Na
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
It is imperative for the church of Christ Jesus to teach and preach all the contents of the gospel systematically and biblically (Matt. 28:20). Therefore, if the churches emptied of the material contents of the gospel, it cannot stand at all.
This thesis attempts to show how seriously minjung theology deviates from the true teachings of the Scriptures. And, at the same time, this thesis contrasts the teachings of minjung theology with the Scriptural meanings of the gospel, with the goal that we should be sure of the fact that the kingdom of God can be planted only by the …
Boudica: An Illustrated Narrative, Robin A. Ator
Boudica: An Illustrated Narrative, Robin A. Ator
Dissertations and Theses
I study painting and composition for its own sake, and in this program I am pursuing it from a narrative or pictorial stance, much as did earlier artists, and doing so in contemporary terms. Distinguished examples of illustrators could include such artists as Raphael, Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Rubens, and modern practitioners such as Wyeth and Baskin.
The illustrator needs not only control of his means, but also other qualities in addition to those of a studio painter. He needs an imagination that will allow portrayal of scenes and viewpoints that can't be arranged in a studio. The artist's memory and …
A History Of The 9th Florida Regiment, Gary L. Loderhose
A History Of The 9th Florida Regiment, Gary L. Loderhose
Master's Theses
The purpose of the paper is to record a history of the 9th Florida Regiment. It also traces the steps of William A. Hunter and his son Young Hunter through numerous letters they wrote while serving in the Confederate Army. The paper is based on military records of the 1,292 men enrolled in the 9th Regiment, and relies heavily upon the accurate and compelling Hunter letters. The Official Records of the War of Rebellion are also utilized. The paper focuses on the life of the 9th Regiment from muster dates of the companies in 1862 to the formation of these …
Woman's Exponent: Cradle Of Literary Culture Among Early Mormon Women, Alfene Page
Woman's Exponent: Cradle Of Literary Culture Among Early Mormon Women, Alfene Page
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this paper was to define and discuss the early Mormon women's newspaper, Woman's Exponent, and its editors in developing a literary culture among Mormon women. Woman's Exponent served as the primary source of research to show through its literature that the women of Utah were encouraged to express themselves freely, and present their way of life to a world that held a grossly distorted view of them. The Exponent provided the forum for skilled writers to polish their craft, and new writers to develop their talents. The literary influence of the Exponent encouraged the women writers …
Coyote Mail, John R. Salter Iii
Coyote Mail, John R. Salter Iii
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis consists of four short stories. They are traditional in the sense that each involves a conflict, and resolution of a conflict.

"Ambush" involves a young man who, after being pushed to the limit by a bully, decides to take drastic action. The third story, "Every Blue in the Sky" concerns a law enforcement officer who finds himself forced to think about his racial heritage. The fourth story, "Big Rabbit Sets Me Free," concerns a …

The "Ten Words", James R. Luck Jr
The "Ten Words", James R. Luck Jr
Honors Theses
One of the most exciting trends in the field of religion today is the continuing development of the late-in-coming Jewish-Christian dialogue. It is hoped that as the two groups continue to approach each other in open inquiry - emphasizing both those beliefs that unite the groups in spirit, as well as those which distinguish them as separate faiths - the resulting experience would enhance the lives of Jews and Christians alike.
One of the fields of academic study which naturally lends itself to this type of dialogue is the Hebrew Scriptures; more familiar in the Christian context as the "Old …
The Chimney Fireplace In Colonial Virginia, Catherine Howe Grosfils
The Chimney Fireplace In Colonial Virginia, Catherine Howe Grosfils
Institute for the Humanities Theses
The study of an architectural feature, the chimney fireplace, suggests changing social patterns in late colonial Virginia society. An examination of fireplace equipment in 175 room-by-room inventories, together with evidence from surviving buildings and documentary sources, reveals changes in chimney fireplaces which in turn signal deep-seated changes within this colonial society. To place the Virginia chimney within its broader context, a brief history of the chimney fireplace precedes the study of changing construction materials, fuel and fireplace equipment, and heated and unheated rooms. The social significance of the chimney fireplace, a status symbol in colonial Virginia, is discussed with relation …
Television And The Integration Of Europe In The Era Of Satellite Communications, John Erick Roos
Television And The Integration Of Europe In The Era Of Satellite Communications, John Erick Roos
Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations
The role television played in the integration of Europe through 1987 is examined in an analysis focusing on historical trends, integration theory, and the effect of satellite technology on the political environment in Europe. Television remained under the jurisdiction of national governments since its inception, satellite communications challenged the system of national control of television and changed television's role in Europe by introducing a revolutionary new delivery system. Integration theorists are cited to define the integration process and provide a foundation for a study of television's impact on European integration. Television policies in each nation are examined to document their …

An Analysis Of Early Woodland Pottery From Southwest Michigan, James W. Cogswell
Masters Theses
Significant amounts of Early Woodland pottery have been recovered from excavations in southwest Michigan. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence assays date this pottery from 590 B.C. to A.D. 10. This pottery is analyzed in great detail, providing evidence for attributes heretofore unreported in the Great Lakes area. Selected vessel attributes are presented in a chronological framework, and potential trends in the regional development of Early Woodland pottery are discussed.
A Study Of The Self In The Red And The Black And The Confessions Of Felix Krull, Confidence Man, Roberta Mowery
A Study Of The Self In The Red And The Black And The Confessions Of Felix Krull, Confidence Man, Roberta Mowery
Honors Theses
Although there are many reasons for reading and writing literature, perhaps the most compelling one is to gain knowledge of and access to the self. One of the most interesting aspects in the literary study of the self involves the individual's perception of his public and private self. This differentiation between the public an dprivate persona is developed in dept in Stendhal's The Red and the Black and Thomas Mann's The Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Man. The protagonists of these two works lead lives of duplicity and hypocrisy, each submerging his private personality in order to get ahead in …
William Courtenay's England : An Aristocratic Bishop In The Fourteenth Century, Michael P. Gwaltney
William Courtenay's England : An Aristocratic Bishop In The Fourteenth Century, Michael P. Gwaltney
Honors Theses
Despite religious controversy that threatened the church and
endangered the state, William Courtenay, as an aristocratic bishop,
succeeded in preserving the traditional structure of the medieval
English Church. During the second half of the fourtheenth century,
England sustained reversals abroad in the renewed war with France.
The military setbacks aggrevated the domestic unrest, which existed
under the uncertain leadership of senile Edward III and then young
Richard II. Church and state in medieval society were so closely
interwoven by means of a cohesive religion that "any substantial
alteration of the church system could have led to a revolution of a …
Factors Involved In Battered Women's Decision To Leave Their Abusive Partners: Shelter Research In The Southeast, Mary Ellen Miles
Factors Involved In Battered Women's Decision To Leave Their Abusive Partners: Shelter Research In The Southeast, Mary Ellen Miles
Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations
This paper is an examination of some of the factors involved in battered women's decision to leave their partners. A review of past literature on battering, suggests factors that account for the women's decision: 1. the more financially dependent (whether actual or perceived) the battered woman is on the batterer, the more likely the woman will stay in the violent relationship regardless of the shelter services offered; 2. women with a teenage child or children will be more likely to leave the violent relationship than women without teenage children; 3 . women who were abused as children will be more …
Lady Jane Grey The Nine Days Queen : A Study Of The Dynastic Questions, Religious Reforms, And Unique Personalities That Influenced Her Fate, Susan Elizabeth Plunkett
Lady Jane Grey The Nine Days Queen : A Study Of The Dynastic Questions, Religious Reforms, And Unique Personalities That Influenced Her Fate, Susan Elizabeth Plunkett
Honors Theses
Lady Jane Grey's short life was one of constant uncertainty, derogatory remarks from her parents, and manipulation; yet she retained her faith till the end. Her story was intriguing if not for its romance and pathos, then for the way in which it reflected the chaotic polltical, social, and religious tendencies of this period in English history. It was a time of intrigues and conspiracies where the true desire for nothing less than outright greed and a cut-throat willingness to employ any means to attain a goal ran rampant. Her llfe provided a unique perspective from which to view the …
Kingdom By The Sea: A Screenplay, John C. Jarvis Jr.
Kingdom By The Sea: A Screenplay, John C. Jarvis Jr.
Institute for the Humanities Theses
"Kingdom by the Sea" is a feature-length, theatrical screenplay, modeled on the surrealistic works of Bergman and Fellini. In this country the concepts of experimental theater have seldom been put into a full-length film. This work is intended to help fill that void.
Specifically, this is a love story set in a mythical place called Atlantic Beach. There, the protagonist is seeking the ideal, but when he finds it, he cannot free himself of materialistic desires or needs. In this sense he destroys his utopia and descends into a place called Mog, where the dark side of the ideal dwells. …
The Linguistic Affiliation And Phoneticism Of Teotihuacan Iconography, David Brown
The Linguistic Affiliation And Phoneticism Of Teotihuacan Iconography, David Brown
Art & Art History ETDs
This study examines one of the major issues of pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican history--the identity of the Teotihuacan culture--through a correlation of figurative art and iconography with writing and language. An examination of the last century of Mesoamerican scholarship points out the inherent shortcomings of reconstructing pre-Conquest history from Nahua ethnohistorical documents in the early-Colonial period. A re-evaluation of methodological assumptions used in the reconstructions of pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican history leads to the conclusion that the Teotihuacan culture should be studied as much as possible within its cosmopolitan context of the Early-Urban period. Further reassessment of previous iconographic studies reveals that many interpretations …
The Covenantal Significance Of Remembrance As It Is Used In Luke 22:19, Mark Steiner
The Covenantal Significance Of Remembrance As It Is Used In Luke 22:19, Mark Steiner
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
Remembrance, depending upon its subjects and objects, can have condemnatory as well as salvific ramifications. Secondly, there is not total agreement on who the subject of remembrance is in the Words of Institution. For some, God was intended to be the subject of the remembering rather than the disciples. The strengths and weaknesses of this position will be weighed.
Finally, a concluding word is in order. The purpose of this study is to present evidence which would support the thesis that remembrance does indeed have covenantal significance. Consequently, if the word has covenantal significance, then more attention must be paid …
