The Temporal-Eternal Continuum Of C.S. Lewis, Paul Medford Knowles

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This thesis is a discussion of C.S. Lewis’s unique eschatological concept, the temporal-eternal continuum, primarily through detailed descriptions of his geographical metaphor, the borderlands of heaven. Lewis believed that he had discovered, both in his own experience and in the shared history of humanity, evidence of such a continuum, a direct path from the temporal to the eternal; a path that is followed in the present, and not merely anticipated as appearing at the climactic moment of one’s death. Each person has already taken his place on that continuum, and will hold that position unless a choice is made to …

Hosea's Contribution To Israel's Covenant Thought, Byron L. Wheaton

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Hosea’s Contribution to Israel’s Covenant Thought is an exploration of the unique contribution that Hosea made to the development of Israel’s covenant understanding. The study begins by surveying the meaning and development of covenant thought in the Old Testament with particular reference to the “gracious” and “conditional” divisions. It then examines Hosea’s understanding of covenant based upon the concepts of emet, hesed, and da ‘at Elohim concluding that Hosea perceived covenant as a relationship of steadfast love. This relationship originates in the incomprehensible love of God and is central to Hosea’s whole message. Hosea’s use of the marriage image to …

Philosophical Hermeneutics And The Analects: The Paradigm Of Tradition, Alan Kam Leung Chan

Research Collection College of Integrative Studies

Hermeneutics, as a philosophical enterprise, is not new; it can be traced back at least to Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) and Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911).1 Yet hermeneutics did not reach its philosophical maturity and acquire the worldwide recognition that it deserves until Hans-Georg Gadamer published his magnum opus, Truth and Method, in 1960.2 Here, with the help of Heidegger, hermeneutics is transformed from a general methodology of the "human sciences" (Geisteswissenschaften) into a full-fledged "practical" philo- sophy.3 With Gadamer, as we shall see, hermeneutics can no longer be under- stood as merely a theory of interpretation; rather, it is to be seen …

A Theological Assessment Of Paulo Freire's View Of Education In Terms Of The Perspective Of Juergen Moltmann, Janice Davies

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Education helps to shape the values and attitudes of students, and is therefore important in determining the values of society. For this reason, it is important for teachers to be aware of the philosophy of education which informs their teaching methods. It is also helpful if they are aware of other philosophies of education in order to get some perspective on their own views. To this end I have taken a critical look at the philosophy of Paulo Freire, an educator with excellent credentials who has some throught-provoking views on education. He is a Christian so he can provide a …

A Comparison Of The Theology Of Salvation In The Teachings Of Martin Luther And Joseph Smith, Jr, Gordon Frank Hodgins

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This thesis is a comparative survey on the teachings of Martin Luther and Joseph Smith, Jr. about salvation. Biographical material is also examined to understand the historic influences upon their teachings. A number of similarities in teaching are noted, including belief in Jesus Christ, the need for faith, God’s grace is unmerited, good works follow faith, and there will be a divine Judgment. Areas of disagreement include predestination vs free will, the means of confessing faith in Christ, importance of future life vs present life, personal vs social nature of salvation, and the nature of priesthood as related to salvation.

Emil Brunner's Theological Anthropology A Neo-Thomistic Critique, Arden Paul Schellert

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

1. This thesis is an examination and critique of Emil Brunner’s theological anthropology from the Neo-Thomistic perspective. Emil Brunner’s doctrine of man is examined under three thematic headings: first, man and knowledge (or theology and the philosophy of science), second, man and God (ontology), and third, man in the world (ethical implications). In the first section Brunner argues that man can only be properly understood in light of the complete revealed Christian system. This is because man is in some way separated from his origin in God and engaged in persistent rebellion against Him. Thus, the human quest for knowledge …

Mythos And Metaphor In The Apocalypse Northrop Frye's Literary Criticism Applied To The Book Of Revelation, Daniel Nightswander

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Northrop Frye’s book, The Great Code, published in 1981, drew attention to his interest in applying his own brand of literary criticism to the Bible. However, he did not comment in detail on any portion of the Bible in this book, choosing rather to make general statements about his approach and theories. The present thesis applies Frye’s theories to a single biblical book, namely the Apocalypse, after a brief review of Frye’s seminal works, Anatomy of Criticism and The Great Code. Two issues in understanding the Apocalypse are raised. They concern the structure, which is discussed in Frye’s category of …

American Fundamentalism And Nuclear Deterrence A Critique, Glen Robert Amy

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This paper is an attempt to deal with two trends which have recently received a great deal of attention. One trend is an increasing questioning of the role which nuclear deterrence plays in securing a better world for our own and future generations. The other trend is the rise of the New Christian Right and its mixing of religion and American patriotism. These two trends have come face to face in the New Christian Right’s emphasis on restoring American superiority in its relative position to the Soviet Union—a country which they believe is the source of a monolithic Communist threat. …

Imagining God A Critical Review Of The Theology And Method Of Gordon D. Kaufman, H. Victor Froese

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The first four chapters constitute a historical survey of Kaufman’s works. My thesis is that the development of Kaufman’s thought can best be understood as his attempt to take a consistently historicist position vis-à-vis the issues that present themselves to him. By “historicism” I mean that way of thinking that takes the categories presupposed in history (linear time, empirical space, human freedom and other derivative notions) as its primary ones as opposed to the classical terms of essence, nature, and substance. The survey involves a discussion of Kaufman’s Ph.D. thesis (ch. 1), his systematic theological efforts (ch. 2), his search …
