J.W. Bengough And Grip The Canadian Editorial Cartoon Comes Of Age, Dennis Edward Blake
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
John Wilson Bengough (1851-1923) was Canada’s premier editorial cartoonist of the nineteenth century.

A Critique Of The Nouthetic Counseling Technique Of Jay E. Adams, Roger Clayton White
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Jay E. Adams, a popular writer of counseling material primarily for evangelicals is examined on the theory and practice of nouthetic counseling. Nouthetic counseling is seen primarily as a confrontational approach utilizing a literal interpretation of scripture as the basis for counselor directed change. Adams is evaluated on his application of scripture in the counseling process. His nouthetic approach is compared and contrasted with other pastoral care counselors as well as some traditional and non-traditional theories of psychiatry. Most of the comparison takes place through conversational dialogue which highlights differences and similarities in philosophies and techniques. A primary contention is …

The Evolution Of Modern Catholic Social Teaching On Labour And Social Justice, Hugh J. Campbell
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
The task of this thesis is to show that from the nineteenth century to the present Catholic Scoial Teaching recognized increasingly the need for social justice in the areas of labour and society.

The Temporal-Eternal Continuum Of C.S. Lewis, Paul Medford Knowles
The Temporal-Eternal Continuum Of C.S. Lewis, Paul Medford Knowles
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis is a discussion of C.S. Lewis’s unique eschatological concept, the temporal-eternal continuum, primarily through detailed descriptions of his geographical metaphor, the borderlands of heaven. Lewis believed that he had discovered, both in his own experience and in the shared history of humanity, evidence of such a continuum, a direct path from the temporal to the eternal; a path that is followed in the present, and not merely anticipated as appearing at the climactic moment of one’s death. Each person has already taken his place on that continuum, and will hold that position unless a choice is made to …
The Stations Of The Cross: A Calculated Trap?, Susan D. Shantz
The Stations Of The Cross: A Calculated Trap?, Susan D. Shantz
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
A popular Catholic devotion most familiar in images, texts, and rituals, the Stations of the Cross contains the via cruces paradigm which is at the heart of Western Christian culture. In the following text an account of the historical development of the fourteen episode devotion provides a framework from which to examine in detail four visual interpretations of the Stations of the Cross by contemporary Canadian artists. The unusual serial nature and mythic content of the sequence lent a more ritualistic quality to the creative process of each artist so that, in the extended time and space spent working on …
Hosea's Contribution To Israel's Covenant Thought, Byron L. Wheaton
Hosea's Contribution To Israel's Covenant Thought, Byron L. Wheaton
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Hosea’s Contribution to Israel’s Covenant Thought is an exploration of the unique contribution that Hosea made to the development of Israel’s covenant understanding. The study begins by surveying the meaning and development of covenant thought in the Old Testament with particular reference to the “gracious” and “conditional” divisions. It then examines Hosea’s understanding of covenant based upon the concepts of emet, hesed, and da ‘at Elohim concluding that Hosea perceived covenant as a relationship of steadfast love. This relationship originates in the incomprehensible love of God and is central to Hosea’s whole message. Hosea’s use of the marriage image to …
