The Spiritual Migrants Of Sogenji: Notes Of Participant Observation In A Rinzai Zen Temple, Andrei-Razvan Coltea

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Anomie is a cultural pathology that is becoming chronic in the West, characterized by the erosion of values, disintegration and deregulation. Amongst its symptoms we find anxiety, isolation, depression, tribalism, incoherence and loss of meaning. Individuo-globalism is a new ideology that permeates the religious market created by globalisation, encouraging individuals to discover, nurture and express their ‘true self’. This new spirituality forms the background for a journey that our ‘heroes’, a handful of non-Japanese inhabitants of a Japanese Rinzai Zen monastery, have been undertaking for years in search of the philosopher’s stone that could cure anomie and its symptoms. At …

حقيقة الاستحسان عند الحنفية The Reality Of The Istihsan According To Al Hanafia School, Harith Mohammed Issa

Jordan Journal of Islamic Studies

Al Hanafia School used the Istihsan principle until they became famous for it, where Abu Hanifa was incomparable with it. Istihsan in all its forms is nothing but an alteration of a general rule, texts, an analogy, or an extracted origin for legal evidence that requires modification. This act of Istihsan was not an opinion, preference, self-distance, or derogation of legal evidence, rather the Istihsan was based on evidence that may be a hidden analogy, text, consensus, necessity, custom, interest, or a general jurisprudential rule.

لقد أعمل الحنفية الاستحسان حتى اشتهروا به وكان أبو حنيفة فيه لا يجارى، وأن الاستحسان …

The study has concluded that the meaning of nushūz is that the husband or the wife fears that their spouse might start a forbidden relationship (infidelity) with another person; thus, the other spouse should make serious attempts trying to find a solution to this possible marital infidelity according to …

حجج المنتقدين لمتون أحاديث في الصحيحين ومناقشتها Arguments Of The Critics Of Texts Of Some Ahadith Of Al_Sahihayin And Their Discussion, Sharaf Al-Qudah

Jordan Journal of Islamic Studies

There have been many writings in our time criticizing the ahadith al-Sahihayn, which are the two soundest books of the Prophetic hadith. Most of these criticisms focus on the criticism of the text. Arguments of those who weaken the ahadith are many, and some writings discuss such criticisms; however, they focus on Sanad (i.e., chains of hadith narrators), where many of them discuss the criticism of a particular hadith. To the best of my knowledge, I have not come across either a book or a research paper concerned with gathering and discussing all arguments of the critics of the text. …

The Rational Evidence That The Holy Qur’An Used To Prove Physical Resurrection And Respond To The Doubts Of The Deniers الأدلة العقلية المثبتة للبعث الجسماني من خلال آيات القرآن الكريم والرد على شبهات المنكرين, Qais Salem Al-Maaytah

Jordan Journal of Islamic Studies

This study tackles a very important topic, which is an old and new topic. Many have denied physical resurrection after death in the past, and there are still those who deny the physical resurrection of materialists and existentialists.

Deriving A Conceptual Framework For Scientific Research From The Qur’An In Light Of The Theory Of Perfect Matching Of The Qur’Anic Language Propounded By Al-Hafiz Al-Khattabi (D.388h) التأطير لمفهوم البحث العلمي من القرآن الكريم في ضوء تطابقية لغة القرآن عند الحافظ الخطابي (ت 388هـ), Ahmad Labeeb Tajudeen Dr

Jordan Journal of Islamic Studies

Music In The Liturgy: An Education-Focused Approach, Robert M. Beatty

College of Education Theses and Dissertations

This project examines how people engage with music in the Latin Rite Roman Catholic Liturgy.

The site for this study was St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Chicago, whose current curriculum-based, liturgical music program developed over the last twenty-five years. Qualitative, case-study research methods, personal …

Meddling With The Gospel: Celsus, Early Christian Textuality, And The Politics Of Reading, Jeremiah Coogan

Jesuit School of Theology

The second-century philosopher Celsus disparaged Christians who “alter the original text of the Gospel three or four or many times” (Cels. 2.27). Scholars have understood this passage as a critique of multiple distinct Gospels, but Celsus’ invective is better explained by comparison with elite second-century polemics (e.g., Gellius, Lucian, Galen) against readers who lack discernment and arbitrarily alter manuscripts. For Celsus, Christians’ irresponsible textual practices reveal their cultural inferiority. The complaint is about varying copies of what Celsus thinks to be the same work: “the Gospel.” Christian thinkers in the second and third centuries—including Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, and the …

Improving Communication Access With Deaf People Through Nursing Simulation: A Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration, Jamie L. Mccartney Ph.D., Tracy Gidden, Jennifer Biggs, Kathy Geething, Karl Kosko Ph.D.

Journal of Gender, Ethnic, and Cross-Cultural Studies

Baccalaureate nursing and sign language interpreting students participated in a pediatric discharge simulation with a deaf person playing the role of the baby’s parent.

The Moderating Effect Of Positive Sexual Self-Concept On The Relationship Between Disability Impact And Satisfaction With Life., Alexandra M. Kriofske Mainella, Bianca Tocci

Journal of Gender, Ethnic, and Cross-Cultural Studies

Research has been produced assessing both the concept of Life Satisfaction and the impact of disability. However, there has been a lack of research assessing the intersection of disability, sexuality, and life satisfaction. This study sought to understand the relationship between improved sexual self-concept, life satisfaction, and disability impact. Sexual self-concept was examined as a moderator of the relationship between disability impact and life satisfaction. It was hypothesized that improved sexual self-concept among those living with a disability will have a positive and correlating effect on life satisfaction. Additionally, it was hypothesized that the relationship between disability impact and satisfaction …

Blindness And The Beast: Disability, Fairy Tale And Myth In Wilkie Collins’ Poor Miss Finch, György Kiss

Journal of Gender, Ethnic, and Cross-Cultural Studies

The paper offers a close reading of Wilkie Collins’ 1872 novel, Poor Miss Finch through the lens of fairy tales, gender, and disability studies. In Poor Miss Finch, we follow the life of a young blind woman, Lucilla Finch, who falls in love with a man named Oscar Dubourg, whose appearance can be described as “monstrous”. This plot evokes the popular tale of ‘Beauty and the Beast’, which the paper argues is the inspiration of Poor Miss Finch. In his work, Collins incorporates and rethinks many elements of the fairy tale to fit them into the 19^{th …}

Ordination And Licensing Of Ministers Within The Assemblies Of God: Doctrinal Conflict, Railroads, And Relationships, Kent Landon Butler

Masters Theses

Since the Protestant Reformation, ordination within Protestant and evangelical movements has been a largely underemphasized field of study. Some historians have overlooked it entirely, while others have failed to grasp its overall significance to Christian belief, practice, and history. Studies on revivalism are prolific, but in-depth analyses of ordination practices within revivalism and specific revivalist denominations have been lacking. This study defends Robert Mapes Anderson’s thesis that cooperation, consolidation, and controversies in the Assemblies of God between 1914 and 1916 were due to the political struggle between two rival leadership groups. By comparing ministerial lists, mapping ministers’ location information, and …
