El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote De La Mancha, Dorothy Flammer

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This book is being edited at the suggestion of colleagues who feel a great need for a Spanish reader with the the following qualifications:

1. A good connected story from Spanish Literature
2. Subject matter suitable for adolescents
3. Sufficiently simple for use in Beginning Spanish

This is an edited version of Part One, and consequently is simplified and cut. Many authorities prefer to wait until students get to college so that they may be introduced to the great masterpiece in its original. In as much as the average high school student does not take more than two years of Spanish, this system …

Pauline Teaching Of The Future, Bernard Wittrock

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This treatise on Paul's view of the future life is an exegetical study. The importance of such an exegetical study cannot be minimized; in a way it must take precedence over against the dogmatical approach. It has been aptly stated, "For all true dogmatics rests wholly on true exegesis; it is wholly dependent, never independent.”

From Whaling Days To Cannery Row : A Survey Of Some Aspects Of The Fishing Industry At Monterey And Vicinity From 1854 To 1920, John Markley Dennis

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In the days before there was a Monterey, there were whales in Monterey Bay. We know this because Vizcaino, who dropped anchor in the bay in 1602, kept a diary. And from this diary, Vizcaino's historian, one Venegas who wrote: A History of California in 1758, makes the statement that whales and sea lions swam about in the bay.¹

Apparently, the whales kept on swimming in Monterey Bay for about one hundred and fifty years without being molested. Shortly after that, the whales and Monterey fishermen engaged in a long struggle which took place, with periodic cessation, over a …

Election Of Grace A Comforting Doctrine, Ottmar Cloeter

Bachelor of Divinity

Martin Luther, in what many consider his “magum opus”, his '"De Servo Arbitrio", has drawn a fine line of distinction between two aspects of God., which he calls the "Deus absconditus" (hidden God) and the "Deus revelatus” (revculed God); "the majestic, glorious God in whom we live and move and have our being, and God manifest in Christ; God 's · unsearchable judgements and ways past finding out, and His merciful promises in the Gospel.

Laurentius Valla And The Donation Of Constantine, Markus Koch

Bachelor of Divinity

Generally, historians refer to Laurentius Valla, or Lorenzo Valla, or just plain Laurentius with a line or two and then dismiss his real significance. Quite evidently there is more to the man Valla, than a mere sentence of praise or condemnation. He must have done something to earn for himself the title as the greatest critic of his age, as a forerunner of the Lutheran 'heresy’, as the first scientific critical historian. He was not just an ordinary person, if be received the praise of a Luther and an Erasmus. This readily becomes apparent, even inspite of the limited character …

Mariolatry In The Roman Catholic Church Since 1854, Lawrence Reilly

Bachelor of Divinity

The aim of the paper is very ably expressed by Dr. David S.Schaff, of Union Theological Seminary: “To the popular imagination in countries under Papal control Mary occupies virtually the same place of a goddess and the practical result would seem inevitably to be that through the gracious leniency associated with woman and motherhood, sinful habits will be condoned which Christ’s teachings forbid. The wonder is that appeals to another should be commended in view of Christ’s invitation, ‘Come to Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.'' We feel very definitely that …

The Christian Life According To The Three Epistles Of John, Lester Behnken

Bachelor of Divinity

Before beginning the thesis paper, in which only exegetical and doctrinal matters will be set forth and authenticated on the basis of the text of the three inspired epistles and such other texts as necessarily are drawn into the picture, it is entirely fitting, yes necessary, that certain historical matters be investigated and the isagagical material on the three epistles of John be studied and briefly set forth.

John Tauler His Life, Work And Influence On Luther, Walter Boss

Bachelor of Divinity

Throughout the centuries the name of John Tauler has never passed into oblivion. He has been recognized as an outstanding preacher by the Protestant as well as the Catholic Church. J. H. Kurtz, the Protestant church historian, has called him "one of the most powerful("gerwaltigsten") preachers of all time." The Catholic scholar, Klemens Loeffler, considers Tauler as "one of the greatest mystics and preachers of the Middle Ages."

The Influence Of The Black Death Upon The Life And Works Of John Wycliffe, William Henline

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper then is to ascertain to what extent John Wycliffe was influenced by one of the greatest calamities which has ever come upon the world.

To the average person the Black Death recalls vaguely a horrible phase in medieval Europe which merely came, but also merely went. This great blight was not a passing thing. It left lasting, livid scars on succeeding generations. It was a type of revolution from which no class escaped; no institution remained unaffected. In fact, many of the medieval institutions were all but destroyed by the Black Death. It also accentuated …

England And The Thirty Years' War, Walter Sohn

Bachelor of Divinity

An interesting question that arises in the historian’s mind when he considers the Thiry Years ' War is why a Protestant nation like England did not do more to help the Protestant Cause on the Continent. It is the purpose of this paper to search out and evaluate the help England did give to the Protestant cause and to seek an answer to the question why she did not help more than she did.

The Prayer Books Of Edward Vi Written In The Years 1549 And 1552, Ralph Lindemann

Bachelor of Divinity

The Church in England used slightly different forms of the Latin Mass before the Protestant Reformation. Atter the mission of Augustine the few remnants of the old Celtic rite had all but vanished, and the Roman Canon of the Mass, which he brought with him from Pope Gregory I, was in general use, substantially as we know it today. However, in the Middle Ages the Roman Mass, apart from its unchangeable Canon, varied somewhat, in its prayers as well as in its ceremonial rubrics, from diocese to diocese. Such variations in the Roman Rite were known as Uses. So in …

Concept Of Sin New Testament, August Waechter

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The proper concept of sin is basic in true religion; for only where there is an adequate concept of sin can there be a correct evaluation of the necessity of the deliverance from sin and the boon of salvation from sin and its consequences. This is very evident from the fact that even where there is a knowledge of the facts of Redemption from sin, the Gospel of Salvation is often emasculated, and the savior from sin is represented only as a Teacher of morals, an Example, a Martyr to His principles.

Verse Satire Between 1798 And 1832 In Relation To The Romantic Movement, Marie Van Driel

English Language and Literature ETDs

Satire as a literary method is more apt to be associated by the student or critic of English literature with the neo-classical writers of the eighteenth century than with the romantics who followed. Indeed, the critical and intellectual attitude which produces satire was the temper of the neo-classical writers against whom the romantics were in revolt, yet many of the romantics used satire with sufficient frequency to warrant our asking whether satire as used by the romanticists differs from that used in the preceding century, whether, therefore, there is a kind of satire which may be called romantic, and whether …

Folklore In The Contemporary Spanish American Novel, Anita M. Noble

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

The novel of Spanish America is especially rich in all types of folklore. This is particularly due to the fusion of the Spanish and the Indian peoples in a common life with different cultural heritages.

"Sometimes one type of folklore, sometimes another, finds great favor among a certain folk." Thus we will notice that witchcraft as a religious rite predominates in the people of Indian culture. Magic and the supernatural stand out in all the classifications of the folklore of this race and is therefore evident in the Latin American novel dealing with the Indian people, or people from a …

The Intellectual And Spiritual Development Of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Jessie L. Boulter

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to trace the intellectual and spiritual development of Emerson. Intellectual development refers to the growth of Emerson's mind through his family and emotional experiences, his readings, his travels, and his contacts with his contemporaries. Spiritual development refers to the growth of Emerson's understanding of man's relationship to God and the universe and of his insight into the metaphysical, not only through the experiences which influenced his intellectual growth but also through his studies of nature. Since both his intellectual and spiritual development came from similar sources, the two should be considered as a unified …

Some Representative Realists In American Fiction, 1890 To 1910, Clara Morris

English Language and Literature ETDs

During the closing years of the nineteenth century there appeared upon the American literary scene, suddenly and unannounced, a group of young writers and journalists who gave promise of a literary revolution. They evidenced no qualms in smashing traditional forms and accepted ideals. They wrote with impetuosity and confident ferocity. But although they have passed into comparative obscurity, these writers will be remembered because they were instrumental in opening the way for the naturalism and associated tendencies which predominate in the present era in American literature.

Antiochus Epiphanes., Brougher Petty Maddox

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

While the writer was an undergraduate he spent two Summers in the Panamint mountains above Death Valley, California. Hiking with one of the few old-timers remaining in that region he noticed that "the old desert rat" would stoop occasionally to pick up certain rocks which he would examine closely. Some went into a pouch he carried. They were later crushed and "panned." If they made a "showing" in the gold-pan, the prospector would retrace his steps and arduously search for the parent vein. In similar fashion the writer has ventured upon interesting features in the life and character of the …

Literary Tendencies In The Short Story, Harper's Magazine, 1850-1870, Marguerite Leahy

English Language and Literature ETDs

The short story is a peculiarly American contribution to the field of literature. Harper's New Monthly Magazine, while at the beginning presenting stories mainly from English authors, did not refuse them from other sources, and French as well as German writers were included among the contributors.

During the first decade covered by this study, the author [of a short story] was rarely mentioned, and a great deal of research was involved to ascertain this information. After 1860 due credit was given the author in every instance. Despite their many imperfections, these early stories did form a bridge from the …
