Tatian, Kent Yinger

Faculty Publications - Portland Seminary

Best known for his harmony of the four gospels (Diatessaron), Tatian is usually remembered in the Western Church (but not in all portions of the Eastern Church) as a Christian apologist turned heretic. He was born in Assyria (or Syria) ca. 120 CE and came to Rome, where he adopted the Christian way through reading "barbarian writings" (Jewish Scripture, Or 29:1). There he became a student of Justin Martyr, after whose death (ca. 163-167) he returned to his birthplace in 172 CE. Almost nothing is known of his later life in Syria (d. ca. 180-190).

The Theology Of Paul's Cultic Metaphors: A History Of Research (Chapter One Of Worship That Makes Sense To Paul), Nijay K. Gupta

Faculty Publications - Portland Seminary

In this precis of the most significant contributions on the topic of Paul's cultic metaphors, our scope will be limited (wherever possible) by giving attention to the most influential treatments, but special interest will be directed towards those studies focused on non-atonement metaphors and those that concentrate solely on Paul's letters. Finally, we will try to narrow the field of discussion further by attending specifically to what theological conclusions are made.

All Judges Are Political—Except When They Are Not: Acceptable Hypocrisies And The Rule Of Law, Keith J. Bybee

College of Law - Faculty Scholarship

This paper contains the introduction to the new book, All Judges Are Political—Except When They Are Not: Acceptable Hypocrisies and the Rule of Law (Stanford University Press, 2010).

The book begins with the observation that Americans are divided in their beliefs about whether courts operate on the basis of unbiased legal principle or of political interest. This division in public opinion in turn breeds suspicion that judges do not actually mean what they say, that judicial professions of impartiality are just fig leaves used to hide the pursuit of partisan purposes.

Divergent Worldviews In Ron Rash's "Serena", Brenda Dye Stephens

MA in English Theses

Ron Rash, through Serena, captures the often misunderstood complex nature of the Appalachian people in the early twentieth century and the effects of human centered environmental changes on this culture and natural landscape. The focus of this analysis involves viewing Serena through the lens of ecofeminism and introducing Rash's vision of the important interrelationship between landscape and culture, particularly in light of the historical outsider vision and its impact upon the people of Appalachia.

The culture and natural environment of the Appalachian people are revealed through the gazes of the characters. Through the fictional viewpoints in Serena,Rash creates a …

Between The Way To The Cross And Emmaus: Deconstructing Identity In The 325 Ce Council Of Nicaea And "The Shack", Trevar Simmons

MA in English Theses

This paper argues that when Christians acknowledge the deconstruction of their identity surrounding orthodoxy/heresy, Christians can embody the imitatio Christi and imago Dei. The argument begins by analyzing how Christians construct their identity along the orthodoxy/heresy lines by investigating a 2009 Bible burning by Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, NC. Reaching into the past and present, deconstruction is found in a prototypical orthodoxy/heresy debate at the 325 CE Council of Nicaea and the modern hubbub in and surrounding William Paul Young's novel The Shack.

“He Is Com Of Full Noble Bloode”: The Brotherly Love Of Gareth And Gawain In Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, Kristin Bovaird-Abbo

English Faculty Publications

Towards the end of Sir Thomas Malory’s fifteenth-century tale of Sir Gareth of Orkney, Gareth makes a damning comment regarding Gawain: “he wythdrewe hymself fro his brother sir Gawaynes felyshyp, for he was evir vengeable, and where he hated he wolde be avenged with murther: and that hated sir Gareth” (1: 360). This statement has puzzled critics, for as Bonnie Wheeler notes, “the text of this tale provides no proof of Sir Gawain’s deviancy or vengeful character” (129). After all, Gawain, ignorant of his relationship to Gareth, behaves nobly toward the young newcomer, offering him food, drink, and money, …

Business Ethics And (Or As) Political Philosophy, Jeffrey Moriarty, Wayne Norman, Joseph Heath

Philosophy Faculty Publications

There is considerable overlap between the interests of business ethicists and those of political philosophers. Questions about the moral justifiability of the capitalist system, the basis of property rights, and the problem of inequality in the distribution of income have been of central importance in both fields. However, political philosophers have developed, especially over the past four decades, a set of tools and concepts for addressing these questions that are in many ways quite distinctive. Most business ethicists, on the other hand, consider their field to be primarily a domain of applied ethics, and so adopt methods and conceptual frameworks …

Participation In The Workplace: Are Employees Special?, Jeffrey Moriarty

Philosophy Faculty Publications

I consider two influential arguments for employee participation in firm decision making: what I call the “interest protection argument” and the “autonomy argument.” I argue that the case for granting participation rights to some other stakeholders, such as suppliers and community members, is at least as strong, according to the reasons given in these arguments, as the case for granting them to certain employees. I then consider how proponents of these arguments might modify their arguments, or views, in response to this conclusion.

An Evaluation Of The Effects Of Alcohol Restrictions In Halls Creek Relating To Measurable Health And Social Outcomes, Community Perceptions And Alcohol Related Behaviours After Twelve Months, Stephen Kinnane, Kate Golson, Lynette Henderson-Yates, J Melbourne

Sciences Papers and Journal Articles

On 18 May 2009, the Director of Liquor Licensing announced that alcohol restrictions would be instigated in Halls Creek for an indefinite period (see Appendix 1). These restrictions amounted to a prohibition on the takeaway sale of full-strength alcohol¹ exceeding a concentration of ethanol and liquor of 2.7% at 20oC to all but liquor merchants. The Licensee of the Kimberley Hotel was also prohibited from selling and supplying liquor for consumption on the premises before 12:00 midday on any day except when it is sold ancillary to a meal or to a lodger.
