The Making Of The Virgin: Mary In The 'Protevangelium Of James', Sherry Angela Smith
The Making Of The Virgin: Mary In The 'Protevangelium Of James', Sherry Angela Smith
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
The Protevangelium of James is an important early Christian text narrating the birth, childhood and adolescence of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This thesis explores Mary's transformation from a secondary New Testament figure into the embodiment of sacred purity. The image of Mary in the Protevangelium of James is different than other early Christian representations, emphasizing both purity and a recapitulation with Eve. As a means to better understand Mary's purity in the narrative, I explore the theories of three scholars: Jacob Neusner, Beverly Roberts Gaventa and Mary Douglas. I conclude that Douglas's theories make the most sense for comprehending …
Heracleon: Fragments Of Early Valentinian Exegesis. Text, Translation, And Commentary, Timothy James Pettipiece
Heracleon: Fragments Of Early Valentinian Exegesis. Text, Translation, And Commentary, Timothy James Pettipiece
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis offers an in-depth study of Heracleon, an early Christian writer from the second century CE, who wrote the earliest known commentary on the Gospel of John. The text of this ancient commentary, written in Greek from the perspective of Valentinian theology, is known only from fragmentary citations made from it by Origen in his own later commentary on the same gospel. Although long-known as a representative of the Valentinian schools, Heracleon has often been neglected due to scholarly preoccupations with his teacher, Valentinus, as well as an ever-increasing emphasis on the Valentinian writings found within the Nag Hammadi …
Chinese Congregations Of Ontario In The Context Of The History Of Pastoral Care Practice, Chun-An Wang
Chinese Congregations Of Ontario In The Context Of The History Of Pastoral Care Practice, Chun-An Wang
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This is a study of Chinese congregations of Ontario in the context of the history of pastoral care. According to a historical review, there are three major practice paradigms of pastoral care in the Western church. The classical pastoral paradigm emphasizes a Christian message. The clinical paradigm emphasizes personality and relationships. The communal- contextual paradigm tries to cover a wholistic goal namely, message, person, and context. In the nineteenth century, the Chinese church integrated the classical paradigm into contemporary culture. A micro-ethnographic survey of the Chinese churches of Ontario has revealed that the pastors still practise care ministry in a …
The Impact Of Early Presbyterian Missionary Preaching (1884-1920) On The Preaching Of The Korean Church, Sang-Hwan Kim
The Impact Of Early Presbyterian Missionary Preaching (1884-1920) On The Preaching Of The Korean Church, Sang-Hwan Kim
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
The history of Protestant mission began when Korean people were suffering under Japanese colonial rule. The Bible was translated into Korean in Manchuria and Japan and following the first missionary Horace N. Allen (U.S. Korea missionary, 1884-1890) many Western missionaries began to arrive in Korea. As churches were built the need for Korean ministers necessitated establishment of theological seminaries and teaching of homiletics. History of preaching thus began. Charles A. Clark (U.S. Korea missionary, 1902-1948), who became the father of homiletics in Korea, taught the homiletic theories he studied earlier and his influence is still felt in Korea today. The …
The Use Of "Exempla" In 'Fasciculus Morum', Sarah Anne Gray
The Use Of "Exempla" In 'Fasciculus Morum', Sarah Anne Gray
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Among the many pastoral aids compiled for parish priests in the late Middle Ages, Fasciculus morum: A Fourteenth-Century Preacher's Handbook, is among the more important but is surprisingly little studied. In this thesis I focus direct attention on its use of the preaching exemplum. Although it is not an exempla collection per se, a study of the exempla in the work offers many insights into other such collections. This thesis examines these exempla--the types of characters found in them, their sources, and their function within the context of Fasciculus morum proper. As the literary review which opens Chapter 1 indicates, …
Rebuilding The Broken Wall: The Efc And Canadian Evangelicals, Mark Denis Chapman
Rebuilding The Broken Wall: The Efc And Canadian Evangelicals, Mark Denis Chapman
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
An examination of a voluntary association of Canadian evangelicals, that is known as the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC), contributes to the growing body of knowledge concerning Canadian evangelicals. This thesis begins by indicating how the sociology of knowledge, voluntary association theory and network theory are relevant to the study of the EFC and of Canadian evangelicalism. It then discusses an alternate approach to defining evangelicals and briefly summarizes the history of Canadian evangelicals and of the EFC. Against this background the remainder of the thesis analyzes the nature of the EFC through an examination of five perceptions of the …
Native Theological Training Within Canadian Evangelicalism: Three Case Studies, Graham Gibson
Native Theological Training Within Canadian Evangelicalism: Three Case Studies, Graham Gibson
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis explores the attitudes of EuroCanadian. Protestant evangelical Christians, towards Canada's aboriginal peoples, particularly as they pertain to the training of Native ministerial candidates. In addition to EuroCanadian perspectives, Native voices are included in this examination, specifically, the opinions and attitudes expressed by aboriginal individuals who either have had experience as Native candidates under the tutelage of non-Native teachers and administrators, or who have spent many years observing the effects of such training upon their youth and their churches. Chapter 1, a history of missionization in Canada, is a discussion of the historical context in which theological training institutions …

Thomas Scott's 'The Force Of Truth': A Diplomatic Edition From The First And Final Editions With Introduction And Notes, Gordon Bruce Rumford
Thomas Scott's 'The Force Of Truth': A Diplomatic Edition From The First And Final Editions With Introduction And Notes, Gordon Bruce Rumford
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Among the many influential preachers and writers of the Evangelical Revival in the Church of England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century was Thomas Scott (1747-1821). The most widely read of all his publications was his 1779 Force of Truth which went through 12 editions in his lifetime. This thesis presents a diplomatic edition of that work, based on the 1821 Edinburgh imprint and includes the major textual variants from the first 1779 London edition, with an introduction and annotations.
The Early Latin Sources For The Legend Of St. Martha A Study And Translation With Critical Notes, Diane Peters
The Early Latin Sources For The Legend Of St. Martha A Study And Translation With Critical Notes, Diane Peters
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This dissertation focuses on the legends surrounding St. Martha of Bethany. Four major Latin versions are extant, dating from the late twelfth to the mid-thirteenth centuries: the Vita Pseudo-Marcilia, the Vita Beatae Mariae Magdalenae et Sororis Eius Sanctae Marthae, and selected chapters in Vincent of Beauvais’ Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine’s Legenda Aurea. In these lives of the saint, traditional material derived from Scripture is supplemented by descriptions of Martha’s legendary life as an early missionary in Provence. The substance of these legends proved extremely influential for art and vernacular literature in the later Middle Ages. The text which …
The Arguments Of The Apocriticus A Re-Evaluation Of The Apology Of Macarius Magnes, Benedict C. Sheehy
The Arguments Of The Apocriticus A Re-Evaluation Of The Apology Of Macarius Magnes, Benedict C. Sheehy
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Since its rediscovery in the last century, the Apocriticus of Macarius Magnes has been dismissed as a worthless apology. Scholars generally agreed that the value of the work was not in the Christian apology, but rather in the pagan point of view it preserves. This thesis is an analysis of the arguments from a historico-cultural perspective, particularly from the perspectives of rhetorical argument, allegorical interpretation, and Christian theology. The thesis then attempts to demonstrate that when understood in its proper historical context the apology is a substantial contribution to the Christian apologetic tradition and vehicle to understanding the Christian—pagan conflict …
Gottfried Arnold On Worship A Translation From Die Erste Liebe, 1696, Paul Wagner
Gottfried Arnold On Worship A Translation From Die Erste Liebe, 1696, Paul Wagner
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Generally, there has been little work done in the study of worship among Pietists. One of the most influencial Pietists was Gottfried Arnold (1666-1714) who, in his first major work Die Erste Liebe (1696), devoted a major section to this question of worship. This dissertation is intended as a contribution to the ongoing study of worship among the Pietists; as such it presents for the first time an English translation from book two of Die Erste Liebe, chapter one “Von ihrem Gebet zu Gott.” Here Arnold outlines his view of worship which he understands to have been the view of …
Anglican And Reformed: Ecumenism And Confessionalism In The Perspective Of The Reformation, Timothy Ronald Cooke
Anglican And Reformed: Ecumenism And Confessionalism In The Perspective Of The Reformation, Timothy Ronald Cooke
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
The reign of Edward VI witnessed an unparalleled receptivity to foreign theological ideas on the part of the Church of England. In this very short space of time, 1547-1553, the reforming policies initiated under Henry VIII were consolidated and pushed much further. The classical documents of Anglicanism, the Book of Common Prayer and the Articles of Religion, were formulated in this period. The Reformed theologians of the continent and those in English exile played an influential role in the shaping of these classical documents and in the policies which lead to their creation. The continental theologians in Edwardian England thus …

The Evolution Of Modern Catholic Social Teaching On Labour And Social Justice, Hugh J. Campbell
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. In order to do this, I propose to research carefully the major official Church documents on Catholic social teaching on human labour from Pople Leo XIII’s Enevelical, Rerum Novarum (The Condition of Labour), 1891, up to Pope John II’s Enevelical Laborem Exercens (On Human Work), 1981. I will also attempt to define what Catholic Social Teaching is and explain what are the principles which make up the …
The Institution Of Betrothal In The Early Rabbinical Literature, Emma Mclennan
The Institution Of Betrothal In The Early Rabbinical Literature, Emma Mclennan
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This study is a detailed examination of the institution of betrothal in the early rabbinical literature. The primary sources for the study include the Mishnah, the Tosefta and the Babylonian Talmud. Part One of the thesis examines the procedural elements of betrothal: how a valid betrothal is contracted; the relative powers in the process of the three primary participants (the woman, her father and the man doing the betrothing); the significance of the betrothal: invalidating and terminating the betrothal. Part Two examines the rights and obligations which are associated with the betrothal period, especially in regard to the woman. The …
A Comparison Of The Theology Of Salvation In The Teachings Of Martin Luther And Joseph Smith, Jr, Gordon Frank Hodgins
A Comparison Of The Theology Of Salvation In The Teachings Of Martin Luther And Joseph Smith, Jr, Gordon Frank Hodgins
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis is a comparative survey on the teachings of Martin Luther and Joseph Smith, Jr. about salvation. Biographical material is also examined to understand the historic influences upon their teachings. A number of similarities in teaching are noted, including belief in Jesus Christ, the need for faith, God’s grace is unmerited, good works follow faith, and there will be a divine Judgment. Areas of disagreement include predestination vs free will, the means of confessing faith in Christ, importance of future life vs present life, personal vs social nature of salvation, and the nature of priesthood as related to salvation.

The Influence Of The “Memorandum” Of The Most Rev. Philip Carrington, Archbishop Of Quebec, In Revising The Liturgy Of The Book Of Common Prayer 1959 Canada, William R. Blott
The Influence Of The “Memorandum” Of The Most Rev. Philip Carrington, Archbishop Of Quebec, In Revising The Liturgy Of The Book Of Common Prayer 1959 Canada, William R. Blott
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
In 1943 the Anglican Church of Canada began to revise its Prayer Book. The central matter, the real reason for the undertaking, was the revision of the Eucharist. In 1952 the revised Eucharistic Rite was presented to the Church, and comments solicited. A year later, in a memorandum sent to all members, The Most Rev. Philip Carrington, Archbishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada and Bishop of the Diocese of Quebec, a prominent member of the General Committee on Revision of the Book of Common Prayer, wrote that the revised Rite had been “very successful in creating public interest and …
