Russian Orthodoxy And Human Rights, Paul Valliere Jan 1997

Russian Orthodoxy And Human Rights, Paul Valliere

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This essay describes the situation and orientation of the Russian Orthodox Church with respect co human tights. Along the broad spectrum of rights I focus mainly on the civil rights of individuals and nonstate associations rather than the subsistence rights and rights to social services that figure so prominently in socialist theories of rights.

Occupation As Spiritual Activity, Brenda S. Howard, Jay R. Howard Jan 1997

Occupation As Spiritual Activity, Brenda S. Howard, Jay R. Howard

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Although spirituality is rarely explicitly mentioned in the occupational therapy literature, it is implied as an interwoven part of the human system. This article explores the meaning of occupation in the context of sociological and Judeo-Christian theological frameworks and the meaning of spirituality in the occupational therapy clinic. A case is made for acknowledging spirituality in clinical reasoning as a centralizing component of the patients' motivation and assignment of meaning to life.

The Many-Headed Hydra Of Theory Vs. The Unifying Mission Of Teaching, Marshall W. Gregory Jan 1997

The Many-Headed Hydra Of Theory Vs. The Unifying Mission Of Teaching, Marshall W. Gregory

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

A persistent myth in departments of English posits a golden age when tweedy English professors humanized the world with thrice-weekly doses of literary instruction, exchanged witty conversation and recondite literary allusions at the Friday afternoon sherry hour, and generally agreed with each other about which books to teach, how to teach them, and the importance of teaching them. This golden age must have ended right before I entered the field. My whole history within the discipline suggests that getting English professionals to agree in large numbers about almost anything is nearly as difficult as herding cats or training king cobras …

Going Up And Coming Down In Johannine Legitimation, James F. Mcgrath Jan 1997

Going Up And Coming Down In Johannine Legitimation, James F. Mcgrath

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

In his study of Johannine christology Wayne Meeks stressed the importance of understanding the ascent·descent schema in any attempt to understand this christology or explain its origin. The work of sociologists Berger and Luckmann on legitimation has the potential to shed light on an ear her stage in this development. Key passages in John show that ascent-descent language is linked to the motifs of the Son of man and wisdom, and suggest that John has developed these two traditional aspects of christology in response to objections and conflict over Jesus' qualifications to be the revealer, and his relationship to God …

Uncontrived Messiah Or Passover Plot? A Study Of A Johannine Apologetic Motif, James F. Mcgrath Jan 1997

Uncontrived Messiah Or Passover Plot? A Study Of A Johannine Apologetic Motif, James F. Mcgrath

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

The aim of this article is not to weigh the merits of Schonfield's thesis in relation to the historical Jesus, but to suggest that the author of the Fourth Gospel was concerned to argue against similar claims being made by some of his Jewish contemporaries.

Capacities, Universality And Singularity, Stuart M. Glennan Jan 1997

Capacities, Universality And Singularity, Stuart M. Glennan

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

In this paper I criticize Cartwright's analysis of capacities and offer an alternative analysis. I argue that Cartwright's attempt to connect capacities to her condition CC fails because individuals can exercise capacities only in certain contexts. My own analysis emphasizes three features of capacities: 1) Capacities belong to individuals; 2) Capacities are typically not metaphysically fundamental properties of individuals, but can be explained by referring to structural properties of individuals; and 3) Laws are best understood as ascriptions of capacities.

Introduction: The Hindu-Christian-Science Trialogue, Klaus K. Klostermaier Jan 1997

Introduction: The Hindu-Christian-Science Trialogue, Klaus K. Klostermaier

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

As an enthusiastic practitioner of Hindu-Christian dialogue in India in the sixties, I noted how frequently my Hindu dialogue partners resorted to modern science to make their points. They either drew parallels between ideas held by classical Indian authors and modern scientific findings, or they claimed "Vedic" origins for contemporary scientific or technical developments. More often than not they would perceive complete harmony between Vedanta and twentieth-century Western science, detailing how contemporary physics was supporting Advaita Vedanta or how Darwin's theory of evolution had been anticipated by Samkhya. Having had a lifelong interest in the sciences I found this turn …

Science And Christianity: The Positive Attitude, C. Gordon Winder Jan 1997

Science And Christianity: The Positive Attitude, C. Gordon Winder

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The Judeo-Christian Scriptures have been considered by literalists as true in every aspect, including references to the sciences. Scripture states that earth has four corners suggesting that the earth is flat. The sun rises in the morning suggesting that the sun goes around the earth, and earth with humankind is at the centre of the universe. The six days in the Genesis account along with the genealogical chronologies were used by Irish Bishop James Ussher (1581-1652) to calculate that the earth's origin was in 4004 B.C. The Genesis account relates that the origin of humankind, and all the plants and …

Viewpoints: Hindu-Christian Dialogue During The Past Decade, S. Wesley Ariarajah Jan 1997

Viewpoints: Hindu-Christian Dialogue During The Past Decade, S. Wesley Ariarajah

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Perhaps it is not too much of an exaggeration to claim that future historians will consider the past decade to be one of the most crucial periods in the development of contemporary Hinduism, both in its native Indian subcontinent and in other parts of the world. In India itself, the expression of the collective Hindu political consciousness has never been more articulate and the goal of making India a "Hindu Nation" never before seemed a reality within reach. Even many Hindu intellectuals who keep close watch on the tenuous relationship between religion and politics in a multifaith India were taken …

In Memoriam: Richard De Smet, S.J. (1916-1997), Bradley J. Malkovsky Jan 1997

In Memoriam: Richard De Smet, S.J. (1916-1997), Bradley J. Malkovsky

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The passing away of Richard De Smet on 2 March 1997 marks the loss of one of the twentieth century's giants in Hindu-Christian dialogue. A Belgian by birth, Father De Smet, as he was generally known, or simply Father Richard, was a Jesuit priest and professor who established himself in India from the 1950s onward as a leader in the philosophical encounter of Hindu and Christian thought. His greatest area of expertise was in Sankara's Advaita Vedanta, and much of his life's work was devoted to reconciling what he considered to be the authentic teachings of Sankara with Christian thinking …

Vendanta And Modern Science: Some Demarcation Criteria And Commonalities, Varadaraja V. Raman Jan 1997

Vendanta And Modern Science: Some Demarcation Criteria And Commonalities, Varadaraja V. Raman

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

In the past centuries, Western scholars who studied the complexities of Indian thought had at least two motivations. First, there was a need to understand the alien mind-set which they were eager to ameloriate (convert), for they worked on the conviction that they were bringing truth, light, and salvation to a misguided lot. They felt that it was their evangelical responsibility to redeem lost souls. Some of them, whether overtly or subtly, wanted to give moral ammunition to the colonial governments which were summarily imposing Western values and worldview on the subject peoples.

From Vedic Science To Vedanta, Subhash C. Kak Jan 1997

From Vedic Science To Vedanta, Subhash C. Kak

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Vedanta has often been studied without relating it to the Vedic system of knowledge. The reason behind this situation is the fashionable but wrong view that Vedic thought is "pre-scientific" and at best it represents "archaic modes of thought". But recent scholarship has shown that astronomy was one of the bases of the design of Vedic fire altars and an astronomical code has been discovered in the organization of the Rgveda. It is now being accepted that the Vedic people knew considerable astronomy that included the knowledge of planet periods. Knowledge of astronomy and the concomitant sciences provides the backdrop …

How Should Religion And Science Be Creatively Related? A Christian Perspective, Robert John Russell Jan 1997

How Should Religion And Science Be Creatively Related? A Christian Perspective, Robert John Russell

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Each of us, Hindu and Christian alike, must seek each other's wisdom on one of the fundamental issues of our time: how should we relate religion and science? On the one hand, each of us has been formed and shaped by, and has inherited the wisdom and blessing of one of the world's great religions, and we should be committed to the dialogue between, and the mutual enrichment of, these religions. Through these religions, we are invited to practise compassion, to seek justice, to obtain enlightenment, to live in harmony with the natural world, and to find healing, forgiveness, and …
