The Swamp Land Act In Oregon, 1870-1895, Richard Mark Pintarich

Dissertations and Theses

The Swamp Land Act of 1849, originally intended to give the state of Louisiana the unproductive swamplands within its borders and use the proceeds to construct the drains and levees necessary to reclaim these lands, was extended to Oregon in 1860. Oregon did not act on the matter until 1870, but once begun, it became a prolific source of political corruption, fiscal irresponsibility, fraud, and land speculation and monopolization. Even though the physiography of Oregon was much different than the states in the Mississippi Valley, millions of acres of "swampland" were filed upon and the state sold hundreds of thousands …

The History Of Community Theatre In Anchorage, Alaska, 1946-1976, Robert Pond

Dissertations and Theses

This investigation sets forth the history of community theatre in Anchorage, Alaska and proposes to define a future role direction made necessary with the advent of professional theatre in the community.

By 1976 the Community Theatre movement in Anchorage found itself in direct competition with the professional performing programs for the limited performing space, subsidies, and audience. For the Community Theatre to continue functioning, a re-definition of non-professional theatre in Anchorage had to be found.

The Transformation Of Albuquerque, 1945-1972, Robert Turner Wood

American Studies ETDs

From Chapter 1:

Although we usually measure time in uniform units, some months and years seem much longer and more packed with significance than other spans of approximately the same duration. Sometimes years and even centuries can roll by with the normal incidence of new fashions, changes of government, economic booms and busts, wars and other detail of the sort that enlivens most of our history books, yet nothing really substantial seems to have taken place. To most appearances and in most respects, the people at the end of the period acted largely like their predecessors several generations earlier. But …

Short Fiction Of Thomas Hardy: An Exploration And Assessment, Rebecca G. Peters

Senior Scholar Papers

Hardy's novels and poetry have received extensive criticism, in due proportion to their merit. Hardy's short stories, however, have been virtually excluded from the annals of Hardy criticism, even though Hardy wrote over forty short stories, several of which are truly outstanding. In part, the reason for this neglect is because of the neglected state of the short story in Victorian England. Short fiction, published mainly only in periodicals and never collected in volume form, was obscured to a large extent by the highly popular serial novel. This thesis examines Thomas Hardy's short stories in the context of both the …

Word And Sacrament: An Introduction To Luther's Sacramental Theology, Gordon Lincoln Isaac

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "Word and sacrament is central to Luther's theology. No adequate introduction to Luther can pass over this aspect of his thought, In every matter, whether it be the study of Luther's doctrine of justification, of his ethics, or any other fundamental teaching, we are forced to consider this concept.

In modern times, however, sacramental thought on the whole, has not been looked on favorably. Sacramental theology does not lend itself well to the rationality of the twentieth century mind. A mystery which cannot be further explained is an anomaly in a structure where everything has an answer. It is …

Bishop Of Jerusalem -- A Fictionalized Biography Of James, The Author Of The Epistle That Bears His Name, Glen Williamson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Bishop of Jerusalem, a story of James, the Lord's brother, emerged with a certain awesome sense of finality after long periods of study and contemplation. It is a fictionalized biography of a man whom God used (behind the scenes) to interpret truth and provide guidelines necessary to the establishing of the church of Jesus Christ upon the earth.

Admittedly, the writer began with some preconceived notions regarding the man, but with no mental images so deeply engrained they could not dissolve easily in any new light received along the way.

In this study of James, his character, his appearance, his …

The Yahwism Of Moses, Jong Jin Choe

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The theme of the deliverance of Israel from bondage in Egypt not only provides the framework of the opening books of the Old Testament but is also recalled and emphasized in many other passages. Furthermore, one of the most fundamental and frequently repeated statements of faith in the Old Testament is that Yahweh; the God of Israel, is the one who "led Israel out of Egypt." It is noteworthy that in this affirmation God is regularly the grammatical or, at least, the logical subject, and it is equally remarkable that "Israel" as a totality always appears as the object. …

A History Of Baptist Missions In Thailand, Alexander Garnett Smith

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Disregard of history is a folly which cannot be ignored without dire consequences. Rightly or wrongly the old adage suggests "History repeats itself." Ignorance of history then becomes a blight that threatens the foundations of a people, an institution or an organization. The Church and her missions are not exempt, particularly those in the Third World today. In a day when social changes occur rapidly, attacks on the historical ethos mount with threatening crescendo. Where insufficient knowledge of historical foundations exists, chaos and instability in values, morals and attitudes can easily arise within the nation or the Church.

An Analysis Of Heinrich Heine's Dramatic Works: "Almansor" And "William Ratcliff", Marianne Anderson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The mass of words written about the German poet and prose writer Heinrich Heine (1?97-1856) is intimidating. He is considered to be one of the most controversial and paradoxical authors of the Western literature, an enigmatic figure among German writers, and the only German writer between Goethe and Thomas Mann to achieve during his lifetime a reputation beyond the bounds of German-speaking countries. He has been termed "the pioneer of radical political literature, an eccentric poet." His works became a milestone of German thought.

The Preservation And Restoration Of Creation With A Special Reference To Romans 8:18-23, Robert Neff

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The topic dealt with in this dissertation is "The Preservation and Restoration of Creation." In dealing with this topic there is "A Special Reference to Rom. 8:18-23" since this passage, if any, is the "sedes doctrinae" of such a topic. To deal with this passage of Scripture in connection with the "Restoration of Creation" is not at all exotic or peripheral to the Gospel message. R. C. H. Lenski sees the teaching of this pericope as "the final result of justification by faith as it is depicted by Paul. This is the great consolation section ofRomans."1If the human body is …

An Examination Of The Lutheran Doctrine Of Conversion, George Volkert

Master of Divinity Thesis

Having summarized the doctrine of conversion and its relation to the various articles of faith, it becomes incumbent upon us in a paper of the scope of this one to focus our attention on one aspect of this vast topic with the present prominence of "decision theology,” popularized by such as Billy Graham and asserted in many evangelism programs, notably Dr. James Kennedy's Evangelism Explosion, one particular aspect of Lutheran teaching stands out as deserving our special attention. That point on which we wish to concentrate is Luther's understanding of man as pure passive (purely passive) or mere passive(merely passive) …

The Use Of Interlace In J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings, Sherry L. Mattison

Theses and Dissertations

J.R.R. Tolkien employs a form of interlace in his work The Lord of the Rings that has roots in medieval French romances, Anglo-Saxon literature of the seventh and eighth centuries, and as far back as Ovid. The technique evolved in the medieval romances as a means of handling multiple action and multiple themes. The technique reappears after long absence in Tolkien's work, with emendations and improvements by Tolkien to fit his modern audience

Tolkien employs the technique in three major areas: the paralleling of story, character, and setting; the forewarning and foreshadowing; and what I have called the time-flash. This …

Restoring Soul With Art, Lawrence Michael Rutherford

Art & Art History ETDs

This thesis traces the roots of the rejection by technological man of soul and its accompanying workings through the intuitive, imaginal and irrational. This absence of credence in the workings of the soul or spirit has left the present age searching for meaning in life and desperate for justification of existence. Since art is by its very nature an expression of the imagination and fantasy, it has the capability to restore the soul and the truths of life that it expresses. The rejection of soul is a result of the dualistic theory of Descartes and the subsequent flowering of the …
