Full textThe Orphic myth in the Pseudo-Clementines has attracted the attention of scholars attempting to decipher the evolution of the myth. Between the two versions of the Pseudo-Clementines, the Klementia (also known as the Homilies) and the Recognition, the majority of scholars have determined that the Homilies preserve the oldest version of the myth and reflect the Basic Writer's presentation. The predominant problem with this assertion is that it neglects to address the lack of a detailed comparative analysis of both texts.
The textual method used in this study will involve a comparison of parallel sections of the Homilies and the Recognition. The aim is to identify the more redacted version as the secondary text and the common material as reflective of the outline of the Basic Writer . Moreover, those findings will be compared to other versions of the myth. This analysis will demonstrate that, in the Orphic material, the Recognition preserves the older version of the Pseudo-Clementines and also reflects the original presentation by the Basic Writer.

Full textThis paper explores the original purpose of the sabbatical commandment as well as the development of its practical application. Five passages from the Bible have been selected from a religious historical perspective from different periods of the Hebrew Bible creation. Particular attention will be given to the external influence of the surrounding community. The Bible passages to be analyzed are: Exodus 20:8-11, Genesis 2:2-3, Isaiah 58:13-14, 1 Maccabees 2:41 and Psalm 92 from Psalms. The origin of the sabbatical commandment is unclear. It appears to be unique for the Jewish identity as a people. Its purpose was always to promote life. During the time of exile, this became increasingly important. It is the embodiment of the need for resting, praying and rejoicing in contrast to life's struggles. External threats to the existance of Judaism have occasionally led to fanaticism. Even martyrdom. After which its application has become somewhat more relaxed.
Wayland, Anda. "Religious experience of the destined human being." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1995. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17027.
Full textSix people fitting the above description of "destined human beings" were studied as far as possible from their own work, i.e. writings, paintings, music, speeches, letters, etc. They were studied on two levels, that of their own metier, and then how they retained that holistic quality which enabled them to remain in touch with a greater vision of life and humanity as a whole. They are Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, Johann Sebastian Bach, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, and, as an exception to some things which have been said, Pablo Picasso. It is hoped that this research demonstrates that these people understand humanity and its needs for religion, and that their experiences and interpretations thereof help humanity engage those needs sanely and fruitfully. In other words, they enrich religion as a quest. Different senses of identity, modes of engagement, models of reality, methods of expression are examined, all of which demonstrably fit into Cumpsty's Theory of Religion of Belonging. One of the case studies demonstrates what happens when the sense of belonging is impaired. The thesis takes a very broad view of what constitutes religious experience, but the expressions of the case studies can be considered as religion at its best, or most universal.

Finding a satisfying approach to Religious Education is a problem even to schools with a specifically religious character; it is even more of a problem to multi-faith public schools. The root of the problem may lie in the monolithic way that "religion" and "religious education" are perceived. Everyone develops ways of making sense of life, however inadequate, and everyone possesses the same range of faculties for doing so. In a broad sense, this is religion - even if only some are conditioned to call it this - and any assistance given to awakening the faculties concerned is religious education - even if only some recognise it as such. Agnostics often possess highly developed faculties that in believers are seen as belonging to the fabric of their faith. In devising a programme of Religious Education for Catholic Schools, my starting point was to examine the range of faculties involved and how learning and growth happen in practice. It became apparent that, just as a language is approached by many routes (such as learning to understand, speak, read, write, and appreciate it) so too a number of processes operate in parallel to produce the effect called Religious Education. The analysis crystallised fifteen distinct learning processes. Some are immediately recognisable as "religious"; others are partly motivated and orientated by religion; still others are religious only in implicit ways.

Full textThis study of selected Old English texts, from the canons of Aelfric and Cynewulf, presents the argument that the primary purpose of the Saints' Lives in question is that of instruments of persuasion. After a description of the rites of Anglo-Saxon paganism, an attempt is made to outline the manner in which the Christian missionaries used certain aspects of pagan belief to promote Christianity. As such, these texts may therefore be viewed as religious propaganda in the Anglo- Saxon Church's attempt to win new converts to Christianity and to strengthen the faith of those already within its fold, firstly by promoting belief in the miraculous and secondly by investing Anglo-Saxon Christianity with the supernatural powers of the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic Pagan religions. Although the works of Cynewulf predate those of Aelfric, I have chosen to discuss the prose works of Aelfric first. However, I do not believe that reversing the historical order invalidates the argument.
Rodriguez, Joshua. "The impact of common stressors on the offspring of classical Pentecostal Hispanic/Latino pastors in the greater New York Area and their retention in the Christian faith." Thesis, Nyack College, Alliance Theological Seminary, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10189031.
Full textThis dissertation looks at the impact of common stressors on the offspring of classical Pentecostal Hispanic/Latino Pastors in the greater New York Area, especially as these relate to their retention in the Christian faith. Chapter 1 covers the context and purpose of the study, and outlines the problem, the research model, and the theological framework. The literature review in Chapter 2 explores what a healthy pastoral lifestyle should look like and reviews possible reasons why some PKs leave the Christian faith and others do not. Chapter 3 presents the quantitative and qualitative data collected from PK surveys, Non-PK surveys, and interviews. The findings in Chapter 4 support the hypothesis that PKs who remain in the faith tend to have lower PK stressor inventory scores than PKs who leave the faith. The interpretation of the data includes possible causes, trends, and implications for PKs and their home and church environment. The findings support an argument for a more effective support system for PKs in response to the unique and complex challenges they face. The recommendations made in Chapter 5 are thus for solid strategies that will support the PK population through education, strategic spiritual formation, specialized conferences, small groups and networking.

Full textLe récit à la première personne de la Confession de Cyprien d'Antioche, qui représente l'un des trois principaux témoins d'un roman hagiographique portant sur la vie de ce magicien païen du IVe siècle, devenu évêque chrétien etmartyr, demeure une ressource en grande partie inexploitée pour l'étude de la Religionsgeschichte de l'Antiquité tardive. Sans édition critique moderne, les détails saisissants du curriculum vitae occulte de Cyprien d'Antioche et sa confession publique devant l'auditoire chrétien d'Antioche sont demeurés pratiquement inconnus. Cette thèse propose une édition critique complète de la version grecque du texte, nouvellement restaurée grâce à l'utilisation de matériel scripturaire jusqu'ici inédit. L'introduction présente un survol de l'étude critique de la Confession, une analyse de ses sources et de l'histoire de la réception, de même qu'une évaluation critique des manuscrits.

Germond, Paul Andre. "The rural-urban dialectic in pre-monarchic Israel : Israel vis-a-vis the Canaanites and the Philistines, ca. 1200 to 1020 B.C.E." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1987. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16402.
Full textUsing a historical materialist model of the rural-urban dialectic, this study is an analysis of the rural-urban articulation in Palestine c. 1200-1020 B.C.E., with particular reference to the aetiology of the conflict between the Israelite tribes and the Canaanites and Philistines. The model of the rural-urban dialectic which is developed in this thesis, posits that the relations between rural societies and urban societies in the ancient Near East were essentially antagonistic. Urban centers were sites of consumption rather than production. They were parasitic upon their rural hinterlands, extracting the produce of the village peasantry by means of enforced tributary relations. This extortion of the surplus product generated the conflict between the inhabitants of the rural areas and the city-dwellers. The resistance to such oppression by the peasantry engendered the class struggle in the ancient Near East, which took the form of conflict between the tribute exacting class, located in the cities, and the agrarian peasant class, located in the villages. The major thesis of this study is that the relations between the Israelite tribes and the Canaanites and Philistines can best be explained in terms of the rural-urban dialectic, which means that the conflict between the Israelite tribes and their urban neighbours was a manifestation of the antagonistic relations between rural and urban societies in the ancient Near East. The Canaanite and the Philistine societies were urban societies which existed as such by virtue of their ability to maintain tribute-extracting relations with the peasantry of their rural hinterlands. The Israelites, a tribal peasant society, were subject to this form of oppression to the extent to which they came under the orbit of Canaanite or Philistine power. The aetiology of the sustained conflict which pre-monarchic Israel experienced with the Canaanites and the Philistines lay in the relations of production imposed on them - relations which belong to the economic base of society - rather than in the realm of the superstructure, which includes the religious, political and ethnic aspects of a society. This conflict was expressed in religious, political and even ethnic terms, but had its source in the economic relations that existed between rural and urban societies in the ancient Near East.
Ndyabahika, James N. "The attitude of the Anglican church of Uganda to the new religious movements and in particular to the Bacwezi-Bashomi in South Western Uganda 1960-1995." Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 1997. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17547.
Full textThe central theme of this doctoral thesis is the Attitude of the Anglican Church of Uganda to the New Religious Movements and in particular to the Bacwezi-Bashomi in south-western Uganda, 1960-1995. Since the 1960's Uganda has been witnessing a wave of new religious movements stressing healing and exorcism and to date are attracting a large following. Although the literature on these movements is still scanty with no attempt having been made in the area of academics, the researcher investigated this topic at some considerable length (assisted by six research assistants) using primary and secondary sources a task he has carried out with a sense of satisfaction. In the area of scholarship, he has published articles in Occasional Research Papers - Makerere University (Volume 14); African Journal of Theology (1991): 54-62; Asian Journal of Theology (1991): 136-148 and African Journal of Evangelical theology (1993): 18-40. Currently, he is a lecturer at Makerere University. This thesis is developed in six chapters with intent to establish whether the Bacwezi-Bashomi Movement is a challenge to Christianity or its followers are from the Roman Catholic Church or it is a pseudo-religious group or an independent church. It highlights that apart from the Balokole (born again Christians), abazukufu (the reawakened Christians), Pentecostal preachers and the charismatic renewal believers; many Christians who hardly take their faith and baptismal calling seriously claim that Christianity has failed to provide solutions to their chaotic existence, economic and socio-religious issues, hence the rush to these new religious movements and in particular to the Bacwezi-Bashomi. Defection is caused by the inability to grasp seriously the biblical teachings and the failure to get down-to-earth philosophical explanations. The study then discusses the historical growth of the Movement, highlights the attitudes of the mainline churches and concludes with recommendations and vision of the Anglican Church in Uganda. Now, the mainline churches are urged to foster the Christian faith that addresses the contemporary issues which engulf the indigenous people; to take the traditional healing and the indigenous medicine seriously; and to enhance a fruitful dialogue with the new religious movements, nominal Christians, abalokole and the followers of the Bacwezi-Bashomi Movement leading to mutual respect and understanding. Lastly, owing to the scarcity of in-depth academic studies, there is a need for serious research by church historians, sociologists, missiologists and pastors, hence the justification for this thesis.
