The Passionate Eye: A Christian Social Political Ethic Of Resistance To Tyranny, Eliakim N. -K. Shaanika
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This essay discusses the moral permissibility of the use of violence in struggles for national liberation using the history of the movement for independence in Namibia as a test case. The methodology is that of liberation theology. The thesis is that the Namibian situation shows that, while violence is always at some level evil, it is sometimes a "necessary evil" and that, given the proper circumstances, participation in a violent revolutionary activity can be a permissible moral option for Christians. The first chapter summarizes some of the history of colonialism and the ethics of missionaries to Namibia, first under the …

The Moral Character Formation Of John Lennon And Thomas Merton: Their Lives Interpreted Using Insights From Stanley Hauerwas, Jennifer Mary Davis
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
I have been concerned to understand the relationship between the formation of human moral character and the Christian community. I have noted that character formation takes place in an increasingly pluralistic world, and that cultures which, some centuries ago, institutionalized Christianity as their established religion are unable to develop a character informed by the Christian narrative tradition. It is my thesis that in order to develop a moral character which will best sustain, and inform. the actions and reactions of individuals in the world, people need to be initiated, and remain within, the framework of the Christian narrative tradition.

It was developed by Anishnabe (Ojibway) people and encourages Anishnabe parents to return to “the old ways” of parenting. The purpose of this study was to develop a culturally-sensitive instrument that would measure …
