The Venus Image, William Jay Masterson May 1974

The Venus Image, William Jay Masterson

Art & Art History ETDs

The Venus image has been described as the presentation of the obsessive, unreasonable nature of physical desire in a form that ceases to be vulgar and becomes "celestial". This characterization is similar to the major pictorial content of my paintings which deals with the repression of desire for a subtly appealing figure. This study explains and brings into perspective this dominant theme in my work through a description of the pictorial and formal aspects of my paintings and a comparison of my work to the work of four contemporary American painters who have dealt with the female figure in their …

A Pastoral Response To The Charismatic Movement, Jack Schneider May 1974

A Pastoral Response To The Charismatic Movement, Jack Schneider

Master of Divinity Thesis

In the material recorded in Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthian congregation, the reader comes into contact with what Paul refers to as charismata, or spiritual gifts. Chapter 14 of this Epistle concentrates on two of these charismata, namely speaking in tongues and prophecy. Both are "utterance gifts", and from Paul's treatment of them, it seems that there is a definite link between them. Since we are currently experiencing an increasing element of "charismatic renewal" within our own denomination, and do not seem able to deal pastorally with it, it will be my purpose in this brief section to delve …

The Plays Of DamiáN Salucio Del Poyo, James J. Jewell May 1974

The Plays Of DamiáN Salucio Del Poyo, James J. Jewell

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

It is not uncommon for authors or other artists to attain fame in their lifetimes and then fall into oblivion with the passage of time. In Spain this is especially true of some of the playwrights of the Golden Age, for there was a great proliferation of dramatists during this period. Damián Salucio del Poyo, a Murcian playwright, is one of these forgotten figures. During his lifetime Poyo was highly praised by his contemporaries who regarded him as one of the best dramatists at the beginning of the seventeenth century; however, he was all but forgotten by the end of …

Martin Luther's Concept Of Biblical Interpretation In Historical Perspective, Raymond Larry Shelton May 1974

Martin Luther's Concept Of Biblical Interpretation In Historical Perspective, Raymond Larry Shelton

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The purpose of this study is two-fold: to study the general hermeneutical principles and procedures of Martin Luther, and to develop an understanding of the major hermeneutical influences both upon him and by him. Luther certainly did not precipitate the Reformation in a vacuum, but his revolutionary ideas developed as a result of many historical and theological influences upon his intellectual and spiritual development. Furthermore, Luther provided a hermeneutical watershed from which the other Reformers, as well as many contemporary scholars, drank. His influence upon the hermeneutical development since the sixteenth century has been immeasurable. Thinkers ranging from the positions …

The Colombian Novelist As Critic And Agent Of Social Change, Daniel J. Ritter May 1974

The Colombian Novelist As Critic And Agent Of Social Change, Daniel J. Ritter

American Studies ETDs

The distinction between reality and illusion has been particularly elusive in the New World. Its discovery, conquest and development is a bizarre combination of fact and hope. It is as if the inert reality of this hemisphere were penetrated by some great dreamer to sire a race of men torn between what is and what could, should or might be. This dissertation seeks to discover the tension between reality and illusion as revealed in the contemporary Colombian novel. The study is based upon an analysis of twenty six novels published between 1950 and 1970 and selected because of the authors' …

Ignoble Captivity: A Plot Convention Of Romance-Epic, William T. Cotton May 1974

Ignoble Captivity: A Plot Convention Of Romance-Epic, William T. Cotton

English Language and Literature ETDs

No one who reads The Faerie Queene and its immediate sources in Boiardo, Ariosto, Trissino, and Tasso can fail to be impressed by the frequency with which Homer's Circe episode is imitated and alluded to, and by the variety and fullness with which these imitations are treated. A Circean enchantment experienced, survived, and even surpassed by a martial hero forms a recognizable plot convention of the Renaissance genre known as romance-epic. A crux of many epics, especially descendants of the Odyssey and the first half of the Aeneid with a large admixture of romantic interest, is the choice forced on …

Yet his appointment to Imperial Russia was approved by the …

The Hypothesis Of Creative Evolution In The Philosophy Of Charles Sanders Peirce, Richard Lee Elliott May 1974

The Hypothesis Of Creative Evolution In The Philosophy Of Charles Sanders Peirce, Richard Lee Elliott

American Studies ETDs

The purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate from Peirce's own writings the thesis that his hypothesis or creative evolution, when analyzed in terms of his latest development of his conception of continuity, brings science and theology together in a common inquiry. This study analyzes the developmental and interdependent character of Peirce's scientific metaphysics. It shows how his principle of continuity, as a logical principle of inquiry and as a metaphysical principle, enabled him to overcome the dualistic either/or dichotomy which has saturated most philosophical and theological thought throughout its history in the Western world. The analysis includes an investigation …

Paul Tournier's Philosophy Of Counseling As Developed From His Concept Of Person, Laurence H. Wood May 1974

Paul Tournier's Philosophy Of Counseling As Developed From His Concept Of Person, Laurence H. Wood

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There exists today an increasing interest in the possibility of integrating the fields of psychology and theology for the benefit of man. Such work has already been undertaken by Dr. Paul Tournier. The concepts that Paul Tournier has developed are of particular interest to the Christian community in its inter-personal relationships. While Tournier's concepts are applicable to a broader spectrum, they are nevertheless of particular significance for the Christian community. An understanding of certain of Tournier's concepts and their implementation into one's ministry in the general area of counseling can be of inestimable practical value.

A Study For The Purpose Of Finding Suitable Affiliation For Trinity Christian Church, Dennis Deardorff May 1974

A Study For The Purpose Of Finding Suitable Affiliation For Trinity Christian Church, Dennis Deardorff

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Protestantism today is known for its numerous and varied sects, denominations, and movements. A survey of the yellow pages of a metropolitan phone book will yield hundreds of names of local organizations. Some of these are part of larger denominations while others function as independent bodies. They vary in size, government, doctrine, ethics and types of members. The diversity and multiplicity of these churches is the result of many years of change, struggle, and fragmentation since the Reformation. Most can point to specific leaders as founders of their organizations. They may also focus on specific issues or doctrines as the …

A Program Of Christian Education For The Evangelical Methodist Church, Joan W. Dean May 1974

A Program Of Christian Education For The Evangelical Methodist Church, Joan W. Dean

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The Evangelical Methodist Church has demonstrated from its inception in 1946 an awareness that the education of her "children'' was important. Through affiliation with selected institutions of higher education, through a continuing interest in quality Sunday School curriculum, and an awareness of the important role of the Christian home the denomination has evidenced concern for a qualifying Christian Education ministry. Her purpose for existence as a denomination would be defeated if she fails to teach the basic principles concerning man's relationship with God. It is time for the Evangelical Methodist Church to take vigorous steps to develop her potential in …

A Survey Of The Background And Development Of Aldersgate Graded Curriculum And Its Use In Selected Wesleyan Churches, James Frederick Harbour

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Christian education was given an impetus by the Protestant Reformation by means of men such as Luther, Melanchthon, Zwingli, Calvin, and John Knox. These men established the principle that every person should be able to read the Scriptures in his own language. A believer's reading ability would reinforce his salvation and spiritual growth.

An Investigation Into The Relationship Between Figurative Language And Biblical Typology, Thomas Mohr May 1974

An Investigation Into The Relationship Between Figurative Language And Biblical Typology, Thomas Mohr

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "Because of those who have taken an extreme position concerning typology, the subject has been either distorted or discarded. In both cases it has been very unfortunate. If it can be established that typology is a valid tool to use in studying the Bible, then "a great door and effectual is opened" to the Bible student . The problem is, has been, and always will be : " there are many adversaries ." The preliminary assumption of the writer was that typology is not unscriptual or dangerous ; rather the misuser of typology is the one that needs to …

The Concept Of Cross-Cultural Identification, Daniel Roy Brewster May 1974

The Concept Of Cross-Cultural Identification, Daniel Roy Brewster

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The Apostle Paul was perhaps the greatest missionary who ever lived, and perhaps the greatest teacher, aside from our Lord, of the necessity and the means of identifying oneself to the needs of the Diverse peoples of the non-Christian world in order that he might effectively communicate the "Good News" of God's redemption plan. In his first letter to the fledgling church at Corinth, he succinctly and accurately states what is at once the primary manner, the primary goal and the primary obstacle to that identification. "... I have become all things to all men that I may by all …

This study examines as a social and historical movement the development of segregation academies -- the private, all white elementary and secondary schools founded in the South for the purpose of avoiding public school integration since the Supreme Court's 1954 school desegregation ruling. Chapter I begins by describing the development of Claiborne Academy, the segregation academy in my home town of Homer, Louisiana, in order to establish my relationship to the subject. The chapter describes the nature of the primary research, interviews with state and regional administrators who are leaders in the Southern Independent School Association, and principals, teachers, and …

Youth: A Part Of, Not Apart From, The Church, Glenn Kopper May 1974

Youth: A Part Of, Not Apart From, The Church, Glenn Kopper

Master of Divinity Thesis

Within the past decade youth have seemingly charged onto center stage in the arena of life in America, and the pace of their "now generation" is one which calls for action. As the church, the body of Christ here on earth, we cannot afford to sit back and wait for something to develop, but rather, we must decide on how to respond to the "adolescent epidemic" and then we must act upon our decision by implementing it. "Leading the young to use their power and vitality responsibly is the biggest task facing today's Christian leaders." That statement might well be …

Direct And Indirect Speeches In Tacitus' Historiae, Francess Butt Slaughter May 1974

Direct And Indirect Speeches In Tacitus' Historiae, Francess Butt Slaughter

Master's Theses

The topic of this thesis will be a atudy of the Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus' use of dramatic speech, both direct and indirect, in his Historiae. In the initial chapter of this study, a consideration of the relationship between history and rhetoric so far as some of Tacitus' predecessors were concerned, and an investigation of the historian's own feelings on this matter as stated in his works will show that the historian was very much aware of the need for truth in relating history and that he was, by composing speeches for historical personages to utter, following a well …

The Moral Of Ulysses, Charles Carlyle Cosby May 1974

The Moral Of Ulysses, Charles Carlyle Cosby

Master's Theses

Many critics are confused about the total meaning of James Joyce's Ulysses. David Daiches in The Novel and the Modern World states that "critics can acclaim the style, the organisation, the complexity, the insight, the ingenuity, and many other separate aspects of the work, but what are they to say of the whole?" Daiches is obviously among those critics who pass Ulysses off as art for art 's sake. On the other hand, William M. Schutte points out that critics who have a good deal to say about Ulysses as a whole are unfortunately saying the wrong things. These critics …

Shakespeare's Treatment Of Love : The Mature Tragedies, Albert E. Clark

History In The Hermeneutics Of Jurgen Moltmann, Lloyd Gross May 1974

History In The Hermeneutics Of Jurgen Moltmann, Lloyd Gross

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

"In Europe it is often said that the theology of hope is neither a school nor a movement, but a book.” That book is Theologie der Hoffnung, by Jurgen Moltmann. In Europe no more can be said about the theology of hope than has already been said by Moltmann. His work has become the measure of the school of theology which claims history as its special province! So the study here attempted is devoted mostly to that book in an effort to evaluate and understand the contribution it has made to the contemporary discussion of history and its relationship to …

Imago, Geogianna Short May 1974

Imago, Geogianna Short

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

In this paper, I have undertaken an introspective examination of myself as subject matter. As an artist, what "I am" or the "essence of Self" is of very critical importance, since creative work must originate from within. However, the inner Self can be very mysterious, often confusing, and many times beyond our comprehension: yet, if we are to lead fulfilling lives as persons, and understand ourselves as artists, it is essential that the quest be undertaken. No one of us will probably ever completely understand the many elements that comprise our being, because we are multi-directional in concept, ever expanding …
