The Horror Of History: Medieval And Early Modern Christianity And The Use Of Narratological Persecution, William Cole Younger

Student Theses and Dissertations

The history of emotion has given a bit of attention to the role that fear plays as a historical motive. Yet, what fear is or how it may be used when examining primary sources which possess fictitious tales has sorely been neglected. In order to address this, this thesis argues that historians need to employ philosophical concepts of horror in order to truly grasp the unique qualities that emerge from these tales. This thesis provides a historical framework for these philosophical understandings of horror by examining the medieval and early modern mentalities which served as a framework for the formalization …

The Sound Of The Sun: Religious Understandings Of Peace And The Role Of Religious Leaders In Peacebuilding―A Qualitative Study In Bosnia And Herzegovina, Stipe Odak

Seventh-Day Adventism And The Achievement Of Transcendent Identity, Yasmin Phillip

Journal of Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is one of the most racially and culturally diverse religious groups in the United States. With the church’s Biblical mandate to proclaim the Three Angels’ messages to all peoples, the need for a unity that acknowledges yet transcends individual and collective differences is imperative. However, racial and cultural tensions, particularly between Caucasians and African Americans, continue to hinder this aim. While theological discussions regarding such issues are common within the church, sociological nuances are not always clearly pointed out. This paper investigated sociological theories behind and challenges to multicultural religious settings, the obstacles Adventist history has …

A Complete Chronology Of The Israelites In Egypt: A Textual Study Of The Length Of The Sojourn From A Seventh-Day Adventist Perspective, Matthew Bronson

Journal of Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research

Regarding the chronology of the Israelite Exodus from Egypt, two major theories are readily apparent: either the Israelites sojourned in the land of Egypt for a total of 430 years, or else for 215 years in Egypt after sojourning in the land of Canaan for 215 years. This question is examined from a Seventh-day Adventist perspective, with precedence given to Scriptural passages. An overall chronological framework is constructed for context, dealing with selected issues in the study of biblical chronology. The primary arguments for each theory are individually assessed, as are objections to many of the arguments. A small treatise …

Review Of "German, Jew, Muslim, Gay: The Life And Times Of Hugo Marcus" By Marc David Baer., Asaf Angermann

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

When Hugo Marcus (1880–1966), a German Jewish gay author, philosopher, and activist, converted to Islam in 1925, he “did not know yet what significance the word ‘jihad’ would one day mean to [him]. For it also signifies the duty to leave the country that is under godless rule, even if in so doing one has to give up one’s homeland. In this sense,” he wrote retrospectively in 1951, “I have been on a pilgrimage for the last twelve years” (135). In a footnote to this quotation from Marcus’s unpublished manuscript, Marc David Baer, author of this fascinating, erudite, and unusual …

الآثار الاجتماعية والاقتصادية للأوبئة والمجاعات بسوس من خلال كتب النوازل الفقهية, مريم الدكي

Juridical and Doctrinal issues have been an interesting topic in historical research in its entirety. Despite the amount of information, they provide, they have been considered, until recently, defunct and not approved. In this article, we will deal with the topic of the social and economic effects of epidemics and famines through doctrinal books. Such crises and pandemics affected people in general, and new incidents and situations appeared with them, which made the public stand unable to clarify the permissible from the forbidden. This intersects between what is religious, social and economic. Similarly, the opinion of the Shariah differs according …
