A Study To Determine What Caused Students To Discontinue Attending The Burley Seminary Before Obtaining A Fourth-Year Certificate 1961-1965, Charles Durrell Salisbury

Theses and Dissertations

It was the writer's purpose to determine the reason students discontinued seminary before obtaining a fourth-year certificate from the Burley L. D. S. Seminary between the years 1961-1965. In addition to this, means of helping to solve the problems of the students who discontinued seminary were sought. Questionnaires were sent to 92 students who had discontinued seminary; a questionnaire was also given to 61 students who were still in seminary. The results of these questionnaires were tabulated by the Brigham Young University Data Processing Service. Of the 92 students who discontinued seminary and received questionnaires, 66 (70 per cent) were …

A Report On A Creative Thesis Project Concerning The Making Of A Film As A Personal Analogy Of Pottery And Natural Environment, Edwin H. Harris

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

As long as I can remember, I have thought in mental images rather than in abstract ideas. My mind seems to translate sensations to visual mental images that are seen as either vague, colored shapes or as clearly defined forms related visually to a particular sight, sound, feeling, smell, or taste. When stimulated by the senses, the images appear in rapid succession, sometimes without apparent logical order; they may come and go with varying intensity or may present themselves singly or in groups. These images are always present while I am concious [sic]; they are unlike my dreams which move …

A Study Of The Development Of The Wochenlied Plan With Reasons For Its Decline During The Eighteenth Century, David Paul Held

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The Wochenlied, also known as the "Hymn of the Week" or the "de tempore hymn," was a product of the Reformation. Its inception was found in the attitude of Martin Luther toward congregational singing, his resulting emphasis upon the chorale as the vehicle for such singing, and his liturgical reforms. The Wochenlied plan became an integral part of Lutheran worship practice in Germany during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Its growth was fostered during the first one hundred years following the Reformation during which a favorable liturgical, musical, and educational climate for the development of this hymn plan was present. …

Algunos Valores En El Teatro De Nelson Rodrigues, Enrique CortéS

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Entre los dramaturgos contemporáneos del Brasil, Nelson Rodrigues, es acaso el más inquieto e inquietante. Vigorosa personalidad literaria, de permanente producción en géneros distintos, autor, periodista, próximo siempre al acontecer contemporáneo y a la angustia del hombre, su obra toda se teñirá a la ves de vitalidad actual y de búsqueda transcendental sin que haya contradicciónen ambos planos. El hecho de que sea la tragedia su modo de expression teatral preferido subraya aun más el interés del artista por la condición del hombre.

Oscar Cullmann's Concept Of Time, John Fuchs

Master of Divinity Thesis

In the foreword to the second edition of his book Christ and Time, Oscar Cullmann admits that this work is not intended to answer the questions raised by systematic theology. He goes on, to claim that the giving of such answers is not the real task of a New Testament scholar like himself, nor, in his opinion, should it be. In his own words: Is it not the most valuable service that the New Testament scholar can render to the systematic theologian that he permits the questions that are not solved in the New Testament itself to stand as questions? …

The Eastern Orthodox Doctrine Of Grace With A Lutheran Perspective, James Childs

Master of Divinity Thesis

The intention of this study is twofold: In the first place, we are attempting to isolate the meaning of "grace” in the Eastern Orthodox Church - if indeed it can be stated in comprehensive form. In the second place, we are attempting to view the Eastern doctrine of grace in a Lutheran perspective. The primary purpose rests in the first phase, the investigation of the Eastern teaching of grace. This purpose is probably best-defined in terms of the writer’s personal enlightenment on the subject rather than in terms of a contribution of new findings. The subsidiary purpose, then, is in …

The Serpent Motif In Genesis 3: Some Systematic Implications Drawn From Its Place In The Thought Of Early Israel, John Gienapp

Master of Divinity Thesis

This paper will attempt to explore the meaning of the serpent in Canaanite culture to see if it is likely that the writer of Genesis 3 was opposing Canaanite religion. This paper will first mention some of them any parallels betoken Canaanite and Israelite religion, pointing out particularly the continuing syncretism among the Israelites. Then by an examination of archaeological materials from Palestine, supported by other archaeological data from the Mediterranean area, an attempt will be made to state the meaning of the serpent in Canaanite religion. If it can be shown possible that the serpent in Genesis 3reflects a …

The View Of Language In The Theology Of Rudolf Bultmann, John Groh

Bachelor of Divinity

Chapter I shall serve as a summary for this paper. I take the liberty of speaking in the first person in order to specify what my concern has been, and to summarize the conclusions I have reached, In this study I have attempted to determine what influence Rudolf Bultmann's theology has had upon his usage of language. This attempt has led, simultaneously, to the characterization of his view of language. Finally, I have attempted a critical evaluation of his theology, and with it a concurrent evaluation of the view of language which finds its genesis within that theology.

The Relationship Of The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ To His Work Of Reconcilliation In The Light Of The Covenant Idea, Kenneth Block

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The problem which this thesis investigates is the relationship of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to His work of reconciliation. The study of this .question is significant because the relationship of these two articles of faith has central importance in God's redemptive acts of salvation.

The author contends that the relationship between resurrection and reconciliation can be seen in the key idea of a covenant. The concept of a covenant is significant in the Old Testament. The Mosaic covenant is the most explicit example. The New Testament writers were thoroughly imbued with Old Testament concepts. To understand the import of …

Love And Duty: The Character Of The Princesse De ClèVes As Reflected In Certain Later English And American Novels (Studies In Richardson's Clarissa Harlowe, Jane Austen's Sense And Sensibility And Persuasion, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, George Eliot's Middlemarch, And Henry Jame's The Wings Of The Dove And The Portrait Of A Lady), Mildred Sarah Greene

English Language and Literature ETDs

Nearly all critics of the novel from Saintsbury to Fiedler take note of the influence of Madame de Lafayette’s La Princesse de Cléves on later fiction, even though they do not always consider this influence significant. In his Essays on French Novelists, Saintsbury comments that with this novel madam de Lafayette cut the romance “from the dimensions of an encyclopedia to a pamphlet” and “infused into its atmosphere a very considerable proportion of the breath of actual life and universal human nature.” Ian Watt in The Rise of the Novel (1957), feels that for all its psychological penetration La Princesse …

An Analysis Of The Rules Describing The Use Of Subordination, Mildred Eastwood Mcbride

Graduate Student Research Papers

Subordination is not Mt. Everest, but neither is it a molehill which can be covered in one easy step, and this is what our textbooks try to do. Unfortunately, there is no single easy way to teach the use of subordination, and this paper cannot offer any positive remedy for the inadequacies of our college handbooks. It will, however, discuss the varieties of opinions about the subject, explore several possible approaches, and offer some suggestions for a changed method of teaching subordination to our students.

An Investigation Of Italian Singing Practices Of The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Centuries, George C. White

Graduate Student Research Papers

Many contemporary documented sources have substantiated the claims of earlier scholars that singing in the eighteenth century reached such a high point of skill and virtuosity that it has never since been equaled. If the above is true, it would seem that an investigation of the early singing schools would be of value to contemporary teachers and students of singing, in as much as various vocal theories seem to advocate differences of opinion.

The Orc Symbol In William Blake's Works, Michael James Finnigan

Graduate Student Research Papers

A study of Orc, Blake's symbol for energy, suggests several different hypotheses. This paper intends to test the hypothesis that Orc is a force. With the use of illustrations and explications, Orc becomes more clearly a symbol of Blake's imaginative form. This energy will be seen at each level of Blake's visions, each different psychological stage, and at the highest level, poetic imagination. Thus, as the creator creates, the creation becomes the molded form of the creator's imagination.

Church schools.
