Gandhi: The Spirituality And Politics Of Suffering, Charles R. Disalvo

Law Faculty Scholarship

This Article examines the 1982 film Gandhi. Although it took factual liberties with Gandhi's life, Professor DiSalvo concludes that it accurately conveyed Gandhi's dedication to self-suffering and philosophy of non-violence. The Article analyzes excerpts from the film which illustrate Gandhi's five fundamental beliefs on the spirituality and politics of suffering. Those beliefs are in suffering as a weapon, as empowerment, as self-interest, as propaganda, and as reconciliation. The film Gandhi also masterfully introduced millions to Gandhi's life, message, and legacy.

History, Action And Identity In "Upon Appleton House": Andrew Marvell And The New Historicism, Theodore Chen

Honors Papers

The present study on Marvell's "Upon Appleton House" has its genesis in an earlier explication of the 'Horatian Ode,' I was then fascinated by Marvell's isolation of the individual within the larger picture of the historical process and planned, when the opportunity arose, to explore this concern within the context of seventeenth-century historiography and political theory. Although the topic was solid enough on a practical level, it proved difficult to treat both individual texts and subjects as only products of their times on a theoretical level. My reservations were due not so much to any growing allegiance to a formalist …

Also presented in a skeletal outline of Marcuse’s analysis of one-dimensional society in order …

Filing And Indexing Methods For Students And Pastors, Palmer G. Ruschke

Bachelor of Divinity

Since the average pastor has available no one qualified to assist him in this task, he must do most of it himself. Aside from the task of reading and evaluating printed materials, the pastor must find some way of storing these materials and organizing them so as to have available the materials he needs, when he needs them. Dr. Elgin S. Moyer, librarian at Moody Bible Institute, reports a comment from one of his professors, “There are two ways of securing the information we need; one, having it in our memory, and the other, knowing where to find what we …

The Social Gospel, P. E. Kretzmann

''Why bother about the social gospel?" a man recently told the present writer. ''The social gospel is dead and buried. No one concerns himself about it any more. It has been superseded by the theology of Karl Barth in its various forms, by the religious philosophy of Kierkegaard, by the neo-orthodoxy of Niebuhr and others, and by a number of other movements and developments."
