Substitution In The Hebrew Cultus And In Cultic-Related Texts, Angel Manuel Rodriguez

Dissertations

This dissertation attempts to investigate the presence, function, and meaning of the idea of sacrificial substitution in the Hebrew cultus. The interpretation of the OT sacrifices in terms of sacrificial substitution has been questioned and rejected by a great number of scholars. They have argued that such an understanding cannot be supported by the biblical text or by ancient Near Eastern religious practices.

In this study the ancient Near Eastern texts are first investigated in order to highlight to what degree and where the essential elements of the idea of substitution are present in them. We discuss next the cultic …

The Classification Of The Greek Manuscripts Of The Epistle Of James, Joel D. Awoniyi

Dissertations

Although a significant number of the Greek manuscripts of the Epistles of I and II Peter, I, II, and III John, and Jude have recently received long overdue classification, only a very few Greek manuscripts of the Epistle of James have been given comparable treatment.

In this dissertation, we have sought to rectify this situation by classifying 86 Greek manuscripts of the Epistle of James – primarily according to their phonetic relationships and only secondarily according to their text-types.

In order to accomplish this, we have made use of new computer methods.

In a recent dissertation on the classification of …

Galatians As Dialogical Response To Opponents, Bernard Hungerford Brinsmead

Dissertations

This thesis seeks to discover the center of Galatians, its unique theological statement, by approaching the question from the perspective of the dialogical nature of the letter as a piece of literature, and the theology of the opponents with which it is dialogical. The context of a piece of literature is essential to its being understood. When a letter is as obviously disputative as is Galatians, a vital part of that context must be the opponents who have called it forth. The review of literature reveals that the identity of the opponents in Galatia remains "problematic." Two things in particular …

A Comparative Study Of The Performer's Empathic Process In The Arts Of Interpretation And Modern Dance, Patricia Reddinger Geist

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The present study was designed as a comparative analysis of the performer's empathic process in the arts of interpretation and modern dance. The similarity between the performer's empathic process in both arts provided a method for exploring the utility that modern dance offers the interpreter. It was the purpose of this thesis to suggest that training in modern dance provides an experience in expressive movement which develops the interpreter's ability to empathize with the literature.

The performer's experience in modern dance and interpretation involves an empathic response to stimuli presented within the choreography or within the literature. Examination of various …

The Child's Sex And Birth Ordinal Position: Its Effects Upon Fathers' Interaction With Their Natural Five-Year-Old Children In A Selected Provo Utah Mormon Sample, D. Wayne Brown Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

Thirty-nine fathers were observed to determine if they interact differently with their child as a result of the child's sex or birth ordinal position.

Results indicated that fathers expected more of their sons, had a higher readiness of explanation for them, and criticized them more often. Fathers gave more praise, physical contact and supportive behavior to their daughters. Birth ordinal effects paralleled and interacted wiith the child's sex.

Stepwise regression yielded a mean value of 44.16 in explaining the overall variance in dependent variables. It emphasized the number of hours the father spent with his child and family, the father's …

Lecture Contrastive Du “Week End Man” De R. Wright Et Du “Libraire” De G. Bessette, Hélène Carty

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

In this thesis the narrators in two novels Le Libraire and The Week End Man have been studied and compared. A method has been used which reconciles two trends in current critical thought, namely structuralism and intuitive interpretation. The role and function of the narrators as well as the language and its equation with reality are stressed.

The analysis is carried out on two levels: the detection of codes as defined by Barthes which structures the novel and the study of the process of communication which leads to an investigation of the “schema actantiel” and the significant role of certain …

The Comparative Stratigraphy Of Palaeolithic Palestine With Special Emphasis On The Flint Implements, Kenneth Edwin Guenter

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Since World War I the Palaeolithic industries of Palestine have been the subject of a considerable amount of investigation and discussion. The results of this work have been made available to scholars of the Ancient Near East primarily in isolated journal articles or publications of single sites. The present writer intends, therefore, to present an account of those Palaeolithic industries in which this data is collected, systematized and interpreted in such a way that scholars working in this area of Near Eastern studies may have at their disposal a foundation which is readily meaningful and broadly factual.

This foundation is …

The Influence Of The “Memorandum” Of The Most Rev. Philip Carrington, Archbishop Of Quebec, In Revising The Liturgy Of The Book Of Common Prayer 1959 Canada, William R. Blott

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

In 1943 the Anglican Church of Canada began to revise its Prayer Book. The central matter, the real reason for the undertaking, was the revision of the Eucharist. In 1952 the revised Eucharistic Rite was presented to the Church, and comments solicited. A year later, in a memorandum sent to all members, The Most Rev. Philip Carrington, Archbishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada and Bishop of the Diocese of Quebec, a prominent member of the General Committee on Revision of the Book of Common Prayer, wrote that the revised Rite had been “very successful in creating public interest and …

Backwaters: Four Stories And A Play, Gregory Paul Gerjerts

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It is not often that extended, authorial remarks introduce an individual volume of fiction. When they do they are more often self-serving than illuminative; inappreciable than noteworthy. As such they occasion no particular response in the reader save for a scant sense of relief once the obligation to read them is met, an unhappy situation: one is not obligated to read fiction, but once the book is opened, there they can be, the prolegomenous remarks, menacingly tucked between cover and content, piquing. These will not be protracted. If one feels obligated to read them, one should also know that the …

A Thesis Concerned With The Construction Of Impromptu Sculptures Solving Problems Of Equilibrium, Weight, And Movement, Jim Blocker

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

For me the attainment of awareness or understanding through sensory perception (or the act of possessing quick and immediate insight into the dynamics of form and space) is fundamental for spontanous [sic] ideas. To achieve and/or express these feelings and ideas in sculpture requires an automatic and intuitive response. My sculpture is constructed directly and simply using found stock piled materials (wood, rope, glass, steel and sticks). No preplaning or sketching is used. In selecting materials, I have responded to them instinctively, relating shapes, colors, sizes and other personal interests on an intrinsic basis. My intuition exhibits itself spontaneously as …

Personifying Subliminal Patterns, Brian C. Gran

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

What comes next? 1. - 2. x 3. f 4. * The marks above reflect a certain pattern. The logical answer to the question is "x". In order for a person to solve the problems/he has to implement logical reasoning to formulate a conscious pattern. It is the purpose of this thesis to assert subconscious patterns or subliminal patterns. Entitling it to the effect of "personifying subliminal patterns" means just that -- to give an identity to those patterns that exist below the threshold of one's awareness.

The Ethics Of Business And Herbert Hoover’S Internationalism, Robin L. Hamilton

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Is it possible that someone possessed the attributes of a humanitarian and yet acted in such a way that those same characteristics were lost? Could an administrator deal with the plight of the unfortunate members of society and fail to recognize the causational factors of that plight? It would appear illogical to reason that the correct responses to the above questions could be in the affirmative, and yet the affirmative answers seemed to be applicable to the life and career of Herbert Hoover. The time-line ran from West Branch, Iowa, in 1874, ending in that same village in 1964.

Group Reading: A Handbook For The English Teachers Training Course In Japan, Kazuko Takeda

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

In order to more effectively train future teachers of English in Japan and thereby strengthen these attributes, I have written a handbook to introduce the basic concepts and techniques of group reading. The technique of group reading is widely used in American speech education. However, group reading is not well known or used in the English teaching world in Japan. Therefore, the handbook describes the basic principles of group reading and the fundamental elements of its practice in a classroom.

Chilean Realities: A Social Structural Analysis, William R. Burke

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

The goal of this thesis is to review various theories of social structure and conduct an empirical analysis of the social structure of Chile. This will be done primarily through an examination of the roles and dynamics of the upper classes within Chile. My reasons for using the number of theories included within this thesis, finding some theories that do and some that do not fit the Chilean situation, will be for the purpose of shaping a total perception of the Chilean social structure. The analysis will end at V 1970.* Description and analysis of the upper classes will provide …

Portraits: Psychological Studies Of Individuals By The Use Of Pictorial Form, Color, And Theme, Janice Spivey Johnson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Bringing "life" to a two-dimensional surface is a miraculous challenge for me, but to do so with a figure who really does not exist somewhere would be an impossibility. I like to attempt to bring a much of the life of the individual to the painting or drawing as possible. A portrait is a psychological study of specific individual. An id a of universal interest can be transmitted through a portrait due to man's similarities. Many artists chose to relay their messages of universal importance through more generalized figures, as did Millet. Millet's monumental figures, usually lacking in identity, were …
