Abstract:
This thesis explores how women in different religious communities relate to the concept of Salvation. Focusing on Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism, this short experimental film, and supplement paper, seek to provide an alternative point of view that translates this unique experience for women in religions that use heavily gendered language and that are rooted in traditional patriarchal cultures. By using the experimental film medium, viewers are able to perceive religion and film in a new way that pushes the viewer to give their own interpretation of the imagery on screen. It also allows viewers to give the imagery meaning and to be submerged in the content of the film. This thesis is an exploration so it does not provide a concrete answer but it encourages a viewer to reevaluate their own spiritual beliefs and to take into consideration an alternative perspective.

Full text
Abstract:
Although the prevalence of salvation language in the Pastoral Epistles is acknowledged, there have been few studies of their soteriology, and differing critical assumptions concerning the PE are reflected in widely divergent descriptions of their soteriological perspective.  This thesis investigates the concepts and presentation of salvation in these letters.  To lessen the effect of prior assumptions, the study does not start from an historical reconstruction of their situation.  Rather, it utilizes the growing scholarly recognition of the literary coherence of the PE to seek to uncover the soteriological outlook that enables the salvation material to function within the paraenetic strategies of these epistolary documents.  The assumption that the three letters are one corpus is set aside and each is studied independently to allow any distinctive profile to emerge. From a detailed analysis of the use of salvation language (1 Tim 1:1;  1:12-17;  2:1-7;  2:15;  4:10;  4:16;2 Tim 1:9-14;  2:8-13;  3:14-17;  4:16-18;  Titus 1:1-4;  2:11-14;  3:1-8) the soteriological perspectives and emphases of each letter are described and the results compared.  The three are found to share a kairological framework, locating the initiative for salvation in God’s pretemporal will that is intimated in the Old Testament, decisively inaugurated in the historic Christ event, continues to be implemented in the present age through the proclamation of the Gospel with the response of faith, and awaits final realization in the eschatological kingdom of Christ.  Each letter, however, shapes its presentation of salvation to serve its distinctive paraenetic goals. The study confirms the coherence of argumentation of these letters, challenges certain current readings of their soteriology, and finds that the soteriological elements are not in conflict with the understanding of salvation in Paul and sit comfortably within the range of presentations of salvation in the NT.

The Salvation Army thrift stores are retail entities in the center of neighborhoods which collect and resell used objects. Although historically dear to many, it seems that the physical condition, market visibility, and social perception of these stores do not always match the importance of the service they provide. The potential of that recycling network, already in place internationally, seems enormous in a context of economic crisis and rising environmental concerns. I would like to create a new Salvation Army thrift store for the years to come, and propose to redesign the closest one at hand as a case study. Among my ideas for this undertaking: - make the thrift store a pleasant and rich experiential space - add to the function of salvaging, the functions of cleaning and repairing - turn what used to be a store into a store ++, with small crafts attached (tailors, shoe repair, laundromats and dry cleaners, wood and metal workers) which would provide next door services and be a tool for social reinsertion (professional training for the unemployed) - open the market segment to all social categories - have the buildings themselves be an example of a new type of reuse/recycling.

Abstract:
This dissertation, by employing the work of Slavoj Žižek in his engagement with the Apostle Paul, argues that Paul, in Romans 6-8, understands sin as a lie grounding the Subject outside of Christ and salvation as an exposure and displacement of this lie as one is joined to the body of Christ. In this understanding salvation may be seen primarily in terms of an overcoming of alienation from God, neighbour and self through participation in the Trinity (adoption by the Father through the Son by means of the Spirit), which stands in contrast to the sinful Subject who in his inner alienation and his alienation from God and others is oriented by a deceitful death dealing desire that would find life in the law rather than in God. The specific theological significance of Žižek (along with his predecessors Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan) is his demonstration of the pervasive and systemic nature of this lie (chapter 1) and its description as he finds it in Romans 7 (chapter 2). The general significance this account might have for theology is to frame the concept of sin as a deception (reifying the self) with its own logic, dynamic, and structure, similar to the Subject of psychoanalysis, and salvation, in turn, can be understood as the place and means from which the Subject of sin and its destructive nature are understood and displaced by new life in Christ (chapter 3). Sin and salvation, under this notion, are not forensic categories but have to do with the lived reality of identity, of being either a Subject oriented to death or to life.

Abstract:
CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO
A salvação cristã representa o desejo inequívoco de Deus para todo ser humano e para toda teia complexa que faz parte e comporta sua realidade existencial, não ficando nada de fora, de maneira que quanto mais se realiza a pessoa humana, tanto mais ela se salva. Contudo, essa compreensão salvífica foi, ao longo dos tempos, perdendo essa compreensão o que provocou um encolhimento e mesmo um recolhimento subjetivo que marcou presença num estado de ser religioso que se tornou ressentido do mundo e da vida. Ressentimento esse que refluiu corrosivamente para o interior da espiritualidade cristã e que também esboroou a percepção da verdadeira imagem de Deus por parte daqueles que não transitam pela trilha da fé, criando fantasmas e equívocos que só fizeram separar aqueles que deviam trilhar juntos o caminho do dom, da comunhão e da liberdade de ser, a saber, Deus e a pessoa humana. Cônscios de que nesse quadro a maneira pela qual se exprimia essa relação com Deus (em especial quando essa expressão aparece deslocada em relação às novas bases da sensibilidade cultural moderna) foi, em sua medida, um dos motivos da contradição na ideia de salvação que trataremos, nessa dissertação, apoiados em parte da obra de Andrés Torres Queiruga, de reinterpretar o tema da salvação em profundo diálogo com as categorias do nosso tempo e em profunda sintonia com aquele que é o núcleo inconfundível para toda fé cristã: Deus é amor. Disso dependerá nossa coerência teológica no que tange atualizar a mensagem e a realidade que se desprende do tema da salvação enquanto realidade já presente e coerente com a realidade antropológica da pessoa humana, até aquele momento em que esta é elevada à profundidade de sua realização/salvação plena.
Christian salvation is the unequivocal desire of God for every human being and the whole complex web that forms a part and involves its existential reality, not getting anything out, so that the more one realizes the human person, the more it saves. However, this understanding of salvation was, over time, losing that understanding what caused a shrinking and even a subjective gathering that was present in a state of being religious that became resentful of the world and life. This resentment that corrosively flowed into the Christian spirituality and also crumbled the perception of the true image of God by those who do not travel the path of faith, creating ghosts and mistakes that only separate those who should walk together the path of the gift , communion and the freedom of being, namely, God and human person. Aware that in this picture the way is expressed this relationship with God (especially when that expression appears offset from the new foundations of modern cultural sensitivity) was, in his measure, the reason for the contradiction in the idea of salvation which we will expose in this dissertation, supported in part of the work of Andres Torres Queiruga to reinterpret the theme of salvation in serious dialogue with the categories of our time and in profound harmony with that which is the distinctive core for all the Christian belief: God is love. It depends on our theological coherence in with respect to update the message and the reality that is detached from the theme of salvation as a reality already present and consistent with the anthropological reality of human beings, until such time as it is raised to the depth of his achievement / full salvation .

Full text
Abstract:
While desire for salvation forms the foundation of all Christian investigation, the modes through which salvation is explored vary between different theologians. William of St. Thierry, while leaving behind a wealth of extant sources, is frequently overlooked in the academic and theological investigation of the subject. This study undertakes an in-depth investigation of William’s writings, focused on pnuematological soteriology and an explanation of the characteristic elements which made up his thinking on this core. William investigates the Holy Spirit through three major identities: Will, Love and Unity. As a result of the fact that these characteristics also exist within humanity, and of the intimacy of the subject matter, this study is informative both to those studying historical theology, and to those seeking the spiritual origins of western anthropology and identity. In order to reveal the particular contours of William’s theology, it is important to compare him to the theologians on which he drew, and to those in whose company he was writing. This study compares William with the two patristic thinkers who exerted the greatest influence on his work: Origen of Antioch and St. Augustine of Hippo. It also draws comparison with four of William’s contemporaries, each representing different intellectual communities of the time: St. Anselm of Canterbury, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Hugh of St. Victor, and Peter Abelard. This comparison is important in order to appreciate William’s theology in light of its own principles.

Toda Revelação cristã é essencialmente sacramental. A sacramentalidade constitui uma importante realidade sem a qual a humanidade não poderia compreender e muito menos aderir à proposta divina. Na História da Salvação Deus sempre se manifestou por meio de sinais, denominados sacramentos. Estes são os instrumentos por meio dos quais Deus comunica a sua Graça e salvação, entre os quais está a Igreja. Após o seu retorno para junto do Pai, a Igreja se tornou o grande sinal comunicador e continuador da salvação operada na cruz, símbolo da pessoa de Cristo no meio da humanidade.

Abstract:
This study examines the Salvation Army's emerging ecclesiological conviction and practice in an ecumenical context, and principally assesses the theological credibility of its dominant metaphor, the church as an army. The metaphor emerged in London, at the heart of the British Empire, amidst the popular jingoism of nineteenth century Victorian culture. It was directly inspired by a trans-Atlantic movement of holiness revivalism - a synthesis of Wesleyan perfectionism and American New Divinity revivalism - and was the logical outcome of the movement's emphasis upon aggressive Christianity. It was primarily chosen, not to theologically express the nature of the church, but to pragmatically organise the aggressive task of efficiently and effectively 'saving souls'. This decision stemmed from a subjective and individualistic understanding of salvation, illustrated by the abandonment of baptism and the Lord's Supper. The development of a secular model of military ranks and hierarchical governance, without theological rationale, established the movement as a disciplined and highly regulated army of 'crack troops', an autonomous denomination and yet a quasi-missionary religious order with in the church. Under pressure from a growing ecumenical consensus, it has re-articulated its identity from 'permanent mission to the unconverted' to a church, in effect the church as an army, a transition limited in ecumenical ecciesiological engagement and adequate theological reflection. In view of this, Karl Barth is chosen as a dialogue partner, for his ecumenical theology and coherent ecclesiology, which stem from a theological anthropology that rejects both individualism and subjectivism. In particular his Christological ecclesiology assists the Army in untangling confusing ecclesial strands of mission, army and church. As a result he enables the Army to reflect upon and potentially reform troubling aspects of its identity; in particular hierarchy, bureaucracy, uniformity, legalism and the replacement of the sacraments by its own sacralised practices.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: M. Shawn Copeland
This dissertation investigates God’s salvific response to contemporary experiences of depression. The inquiry affords both constructive and critical insights for Christian theologies of suffering and salvation. Constructively, it offers a theological interpretation of depression and an account of salvation in relation to it. I argue that depression is an instantiation of bodily difference with unique difficulties and limitations to which God responds with the life-giving possibilities of survival and situational flourishing. These possibilities are a heuristic for an eschatological vision of salvation. The glorified body is characterized by an expansion of possibilities amid the persistence of some creaturely limitations, including many that constitute depression. Critically, my proposal about depression and salvation challenges the prevailing treatment of suffering and soteriology in political and liberation theologies. I argue that an “infralapsarian logic” shapes the predominant vision of salvation in these movements. I adopt the framework of infralapsarian logic from Edwin Chr. van Driel, who uses it to denote theologies that are primarily governed by the principle of sin. This is largely because negative suffering—that is, suffering that results from sin and evil—has been the primary object of concern in recent theologies. My argument about salvation in the context of depression illuminates the anthropological and theo-logical shortcomings of infralapsarian logic, and it reveals the need for alternative accounts of God’s salvific response to suffering. To this end, I advocate for the retrieval and development of soteriologies shaped by “supralapsarian logic,” and I point to my constructive account of depression and salvation as one example of this way of thinking about salvation. Chapter 1 introduces readers to Christian soteriology, my methodology, and a project overview. Chapter 2 examines suffering and salvation in the early work of Johann Baptist Metz, Gustavo Gutiérrez, James Cone, and Rosemary Radford Ruether. This analysis illuminates the infralapsarian logic shaping their influential liberation soteriologies. Chapter 3 explores critiques of liberation soteriology that have arisen from within political and liberation theologies in recent decades—namely, from feminist theology, theologies of disability, black and womanist theologies, theologies of trauma, Latin American feminist theology, and theologies engaged with postmodern conceptions of power. Together, chapters 2 and 3 present the recent landscape of theological discourse on suffering and salvation. Chapter 4 is a cross-disciplinary survey of depression that presents the affordances of narrative and phenomenological accounts of this condition. Based on these accounts of depression, chapter 5 develops a theological interpretation of depression as a particular instantiation of bodily difference—not a form of suffering that results from sin or evil. Chapter 6 offers an account of God’s saving work in relation to depression. I argue that salvation in this context is not primarily liberation from suffering but rather survival and an expansion of possibility that enables an improved quality of life amid depression. Together, chapters 5 and 6 illuminate the inadequacy of infralapsarian logic for envisioning salvation in relation to depression. I conclude the dissertation with chapter 7, where I argue for the development of soteriologies that reflect a supralapsarian logic. I close the project by naming the implications of this argument for further theological reflection on depression, in particular, and suffering and salvation, more broadly

Full text
Abstract:
This reconsideration of Matthew’s soteriology argues that Matthew understands salvation in continuity. It employs a sequential treatment of the Gospel, which enables it to avoid the danger which characterises many previous studies of limiting the discussion of salvation in Matthew to certain texts, where the theme of salvation is more direct and explicit. To this end, the study is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the need for a reconsideration of Matthew’s soteriology, and Chapters 2 and 3 furnish, respectively, a brief literature survey and the method of approach. Chapters 4–6 examine Matthew’s depiction of Jesus’ saving roles as teacher and judge, healer and helper, and the significance for Matthew of Jesus’ death and resurrection––especially in Matthew 1–7, 8–25 and 26–28 respectively, but also within the Gospel as a whole. On the basis of the findings from Chapters 4–6, Chapter 7 shows that Matthew understands salvation in continuity. The study argues that Matthew does not understand salvation as something achieved only by Jesus’ death, and nor does he limit salvation to Jesus, because Jesus’ saving does not replace or abrogate the repertoire of salvation in the past such as the Torah and the temple. Instead, for Matthew, Jesus’ saving is the fulfilment of God’s saving plans and promises for his people and the continuation of God’s saving in the past. For Matthew, Jesus’ vicarious death is soteriologically comparable with the vicarious suffering of the righteous in the past, though much wider in its reach, and like theirs does not call the temple and the Torah into question. Matthew’s understanding of salvation in continuity is also to be seen as his response to the historical and theological questions of post-70 C.E. Judaism.

Hugh Martin (1822–1885) was a prominent ecclesiastical figure in the second half of the nineteenth century in the Free Church of Scotland. Among his sermons, books, articles and letters the doctrine of the atonement is a prevailing concern. His understanding of it is dispersed throughout his writings. Churchmen and theologians hold Martin in high regard, yet his writings and theology have suffered neglect. Therefore his life and writings are introduced alongside a survey of theological positions on the atonement with which he disputed. His ecclesiastical and theological context provides a foundation for expounding his theology. A federal theologian in the tradition of the Westminster Standards he studies the atonement systematically, in its relations to other doctrines. The atonement is founded upon a comprehensive theology and is dependent upon the doctrines of God and creation. The covenant of grace, priesthood of Christ and justification are doctrines of chief importance for understanding the nature and extent of the atonement. A chapter on each expounds his thought concerning them and their relations and bearing upon the atonement. Upon recovery of his theology an assessment is offered in light of more recent theological developments. Martin’s theology of atonement provides a response to several criticisms against federal Calvinism. Strengths and weaknesses of his writings are observed and suggestions made concerning doctrinal points for further study.
