Gerald L.K. Smith And Anti-Semitism, Isabel B. Price

History ETDs

According to Paul Massing, author of Rehearsal For Destruction, a historical analysis of the forerunners of anti-Semitism in Germany, a predisposition to anti-Semitism was manifested in social protests in 19th century Germany. Liberal historians and socialist writers were convinced that, used as a political tool, anti-Semitic agitation could arouse the political interests of dormant social groups to join the forces of progress. Anti-Semitism movements which formulated the racist ideology and kept alive and disseminated anti­-Semitism throughout German culture, were in existence long before Hitler rose to power. With the forces of the twenties and thirties, however, inflation, depression, unemployment, social …

Pesher: Towards A Description And Understanding Of Its Use By The Qumran Sect And The New Testament, Donald Zimbrick

Bachelor of Divinity

Since the term "pesher" is a technical word in the vocabularly of New Testament research, a description of the “pesher method" might be a profitable undertaking.. The problem undertaken in this paper is an effort to bring together a collection of information concerning "pesher" and to present it in such a manner that the reader will obtain an understanding of the "midrash pesher" as it was used in the Qumran Scrolls and even in a limited use in the N.T. itself.

George Santayana: A Critical Anomaly, Carol Ann Erickson

Student Work

The events of George Santayana*s life provide a valuable introduction to any study of his works. Though it cannot fceally be said that his life was filled with the sort of excitement or intrigue which makes for suspenseful biography, his life was one of steady productivity and ever increasing fame, first as poet, then as philosopher, essayist, critic, and novelist.

Influences On And Development Of John Dos Passos' Collectivist Technique, William Alfred Evans

English Language and Literature ETDs

Few writers in the history of American literature have evoked as much controversy as has John Roderigo Dos Passos; the greater part of the controversy, however, has been centered in his social and political attitudes rather than in his literacy achievements. His social and political attitudes have been discussed at great length, particularly during the past thirty years. But only recently have critics begun to evaluate Dos Passos’ literary successes properly and to set him in his rightful place in American literature as an effective and powerful innovator of a special kind of technique in the novel, the collectivist technique.

Milton And Marvell--And Samuel Parker, Henry F. Lippincott Jr.

English Language and Literature ETDs

This thesis explores the ways in which Samuel Parker, an obscure philosopher and theologian who became Bishop of Oxford, played a role in the literary relationship of John Milton and Andrew Marvell. Chapter I gives the sketchy biographical facts which link the three men. As a Latin Secretary to Oliver Cromwell, Milton helped the young Marvell advance his prospects until Marvell ultimately became a Member of Parliament and a government emissary. But as Marvell rose in political circles, Milton gradually retired from public life. Perhaps to repay past favors, Marvell defended Milton from scurrilous attacks by Parker and his followers …

The Messianic Concept In The Testaments Of The Twelve Patriarchs Compared With The Messianic Concept In The Gospel According To Matthew, Theodore Eisold

Bachelor of Divinity

My intention in undertaking this project is to thoroughly investigate the possibility of any connections between the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs and the Gospel according to Matthew. Since the milieu of the New Testament era has produced not only our Scriptures, but also a number of other documents which have influenced and were influenced by the Scriptures; and since the Testaments appear to be a Jewish document while Matthew’s Gospel is the more "Jewish" of the Gospels, there seems to be a good possibility that there is a relationship between the two documents which, we feel, might prove helpful …

A Review Of Major Administrative Principles And Management Problems In The Local Church, Miles H. Barber

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The local pastor today is being requested by his people to assume a growing number of responsibilities. By the very nature of -the minister's present task he is called upon to be a teacher, business man, spiritual leader, gifted speaker, competent administrator, public relations man, counselor and scholar. This is in addition to being a good husband, father and neighbor. It is this increasing demand upon the pastor that has prompted this study. With many tasks to do and limited time for each responsibility, pastors are expected to make efficient operations of their programs with the time they do have. …

Authoritarianism And Proposition 14, Herbert Henry Foster

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In November of 1964, California voters approved by a very substantial margin the legislative measure known as Proposition 14, a hotly contested constitutional amendment which abolished all then-existing Fair Housing Legislation and prohibited local levels of government from acting in such matters in the future. This legislation was sponsored by the California Real Estate Association and essentially was a response to a recently passed Fair Housing Law known as the Rumford Act, which prohibited discrimination in the sale and rental of housing and assigned enforcement responsibilities to the State Fair Employment Practices Commission.

A Study Of Some Of Gil Vicente's Aspects As A Didactic Moralist, William W. Megenney

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Before the appearance of Gil Vicente, one cannot speak of a theatre in Portugal except, perhaps, of some traces of religious dramatizations during the Middle Ages and of some documents of allegorical theatre during the times of D. Joāo II—a theatre based entirely on scenography and in which the literary world was almost entirely unknown. Anrique da Mota, although proportioning some aid in the understanding of Gil Vicente’s theatre, seems to be overshadowed by the impressive figure of the latter. Without any dramatic tradition surrounding him, Gil Vicente turns toward such figures as Juan del Encina, looking for possible suggestions …

A Historical Study Of Silver Reef: Southern Utah Mining Town, Alfred Bleak Stucki

Theses and Dissertations

While a number of short articles and histories of Silver Reef have been written, they tend either to be anecdotal in character or to emphasize the merely sensational aspects of the mining camp. These writings have failed to investigate some of the most basic sources of information concerning this highly interesting mining epic in Southern Utah. Therefore, there remains a real need for a thoroughly researched and documented history of silver Reef - a need that this thesis tries to meet.

A Quantitative Analysis Of Matthew Cowley's Use Of The Illustrative Method Of Oral Support, Kenneth Lloyd Young

Theses and Dissertations

The chief purpose of this analysis is to determine how much Matthew Cowley used the illustrative method of oral support in his public speaking. A minor purpose is to determine the dominant motivating appeals used in his speaking. Such an examination should provide valuable insight for those desiring effective techniques in public speaking situations.

Levi Ward Hancock: Pioneer, Soldier, Political And Religious Leader Of Early Utah, Dennis A. Clegg

Theses and Dissertations

Prominent in the pioneering and settlement of early Utah were many men of great ability. Among them was Levi Ward Hancock. He became a dedicated spiritual leader in the Mormon Church.

The life of Levi Hancock began in Springfield, Massachusetts, on April 7, 1803. His father moved about quite often in his attempts to provide a better livelihood for his family. Each move took them farther west. It was while they were living in Ohio that the Hancock family heard the Mormon missionaries preach their new gospel. Levi joined this frontier religion.

Joining the Mormon Church changed the whole course …

Mormon Colonization Of The San Luis Valley, Colorado, 1878-1900, Judson Harold Flower Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

In the late 1870's, missionary successes in the southern states prompted the search for a location to which the new converts could migrate and establish their homes among the Saints in "Zion." The area eventually decided upon for the location of the southern converts was the San Luis Valley, in southern Colorado. Elder John Morgan, the most prominent figure in the early missionary work in the South, was given the leading role in bringing southern converts to the settlements which were to be established in the San Luis Valley. The initial settlement of Saints in the valley took place in …

A Study Of Moral Development In Mormon Culture, Steve Foster Gilliland

Theses and Dissertations

Previous studies have indicated that the moral development of the child may follow a "developmental" process. That is, the child progresses through an invariant series of stages, each characterized by certain modes of thought. As the child passes from one stage to another, he integrates the old stage into the new one. Kohlberg proposed a hierarchy of six stages through which the child would progress on his way to moral maturity. His hypothesis has been supported by empirical evidence.

Research findings have indicated that the Mormon culture appeared to be different in values and moral behavior than other United States …

An Analysis Of Selected Changes In Major Editions Of The Book Of Mormon - 1830-1920, Jeffrey R. Holland

Theses and Dissertations

As the title indicates, this thesis is a consideration of selected changes that have been made in major editions of the Book of Mormon. Much has been said recently about changes and modifications in this record but, unfortunately, most of it has been said by those who have been unfriendly toward both the book itself and the church which endorses it. Because this kind of bias is usually an obstruction to objective scholarship, this study has been undertaken by one firmly within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to document not only what changes have been made, but …
