An Investigation Of Some Aspects Of The Biblical Theology Of New Testament Preaching, Samuel Hayden Walsh

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study was to determine the Biblical theology of New Testament preaching with respect to content and character. What was it that the Apostles preached and how did they preach it? What was "preaching" in the New Testament sense of the word? Because there are many divergent opinions and volumes on preaching which have poured out of the publishing houses in this twentieth century, the author was amazed that few have come to grips with answering these questions in a realistic and complete way.

Party Lines Drawn By The Spectator, Emily W. Zehmer

Honors Theses

The concept of political parties as they existed in England during the reign of Queen Anne has been the source of considerable conflict among Stuart historians. The traditional view, postulated by G. M. Trevelyan, is that the Tory and Whig parties were organized in the 1670's as outgrowths of the Cavalier and Roundhead factions of the Civil War, changing very little in the process. The Tories were a "solid phalanx of squires and parsons," whereas the Whigs were united not by class or vocation but by their agreement on various political issues: religious toleration for all Protestants, war with France …

A Study Of Image, Symbol, And Theme In La Casa De Bernarda Alba, Iris Scribner Bird

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The tragedy, La casa de Bernarda Alba, by Federico Garcia Lorca is generally recognized as one of the finest poetic tragedies of the Twentieth Century, yet it has not drawn the critical attention afforded the plays of Lorca's contemporaries, such as 'Tennessee Williams, for example. Ironically, Williams' early plays evince a definite. Lorquian influence. Close attention has been paid to the poetic texture of.Williams plays, providing an important contribution to understanding the art of his poetic tragedy. The same has not been true of Lorca. This may he due partly to the fact that Lorca's ·tragedies have not played very …

A Study Of Reflectors And Reflections In Four Stories By Flannery O'Connor, William Leo Maffini

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Throughout her fiction, Flannery O' Connor uses character reflections to present mirror analogues. The recurrence of these mirror analogues inspired me to look deeper into her fiction for analogues that might superficially appear to be unrelated and dissimilar. I found that in addition to her more obvious reflections there was another whole set of what I term reflectors that have the same function of pointing up traits or corresponding characteristics between characters by dwelling upon their dissimilarities. For the sake of convenience I have divided the mirror analogues in O'Connor's fiction into two categories: reflectors and reflections.
