Abstract:

Since Jesus first gave his Sermon on the Mount, very few if any have devoted more years to practicing and teaching others to practice its precepts than Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy's take on the Sermon on the Mount stands apart in the history of Sermon on the Mount interpretation and has had enormous influence on others and other countries. Yet, often Gandhi gets the glory, or others. Tolstoy is remembered as a great writer, but his religious and philosophical works are by and large unknown or disparaged, even in Tolstoyan scholarly circles. It remains his contribution is substantially underappreciated and misunderstood. This project seeks to capture the particulars and dynamics of Tolstoy's interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount from a deliberately sympathetic vantage point. Underlying this project is shared belief with Tolstoy that the Sermon on the Mount is liveable and to be lived. This project assumes that from the vantage point of traditional orthodoxy Tolstoy got much wrong but there remains a lack of consideration of and appreciation for what he got right, radical obedience to the teachings of Jesus. After a careful overview of Tolstoy's post-conversion period, and his subsequent writings which constitute a Second Tolstoy corpus of literature, his hermeneutic is explored and his teachings treated generously. Tolstoy's interpretive adversaries and allies are given voice with the intention of better comprehending his interpretations and their perceived implications and failings. A new vocabulary is proposed to more precisely capture Tolstoyan lived theology, namely the political and social expressions of Tolstoyan Christianity, with the intention these theories and practices will gain a wider consideration, understanding and following.

Abstract:

The study focuses on the description of the function of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew‘s Gospel. Not only does the Sermon on the Mount (SM) depict an ethical, eschatological and identity formation function, as it is popularly conceived by scholars, but it is also reflective of reconstruction, legitimation and the negotiation of the cultural identity of the community of Matthew in the city of Antioch, in Syria in the late first century CE. Through a Socio Rhetorical Interpretation (SRI), the analysis of the SM has been found to be reflective of the negotiating of identity politics of the community of Matthew in the aftermath of the destruction of the second Jerusalem temple, following the 66-73 Jewish revolt against Rome. Thus, the implied author of the SM employs the rhetorical function of the SM to consolidate a Christian community in the aftermath of the destruction of the second Jerusalem temple by contesting the Roman empire, borrowing from Israel‘s religious heritage and, accommodating the Jesus Movement. Consequently, pursuant to identity politics guided by the requirements of righteousness in Matt 5.20, the SM provides a basis for the reconstruction of a superordinate cultural identity for the community of Matthew that embraced both Judeans and the Gentiles. The reconstruction of a superordinate identity for the Matthean community enabled the implied author of the SM to effectively address intra-ethnic conflict that had characterized the Jesus Movement about 35 years before the emergence of the community of Matthew. Thus, the study has established that a creation of a superordinate identity provides the impetus for addressing intraethnic conflict situations because it embraces a dual identity, that is, a common identity to which other aspects of identity are subordinated.

Abstract:

The word δηθαηνζύλε occurs 92 times in 86 verses in the Greek New Testament. With regard to the four gospels, its incidence is the highest (70%) in Matthew. Among the other synoptic writers, only Luke uses it, and only once. The word δηθαηνζύλε occurs seven times in the Gospel of Matthew, and five of these occurrences are found in the Sermon on the Mount. It is clear that righteousness constitutes an important concept in the Gospel. With the term δηθαηνζύλε as the key element, the Gospel shows a structure in which the Sermon on the Mount with its five occurrences of δηθαηνζύλε is framed by 3:15 and 21:32, each one of these containing δηθαηνζύλε once. Matthew emphasises the enduring validity of the law and its fulfilment, of which the consequence is referred to in 5:20 as righteousness that could be described as more abundant righteousnessi. Therefore, to Matthew the relationship between law and righteousness is indicated by ἐληνιή in 5:19. The righteousness proposed by Matthew must comply with the will of God and the demands of the “kingdom of heaven”. From 6:1, it is clear that this is righteousness before your father. Matthew wants to impress it on the reader that righteousness must not be practised before people but before God eventually. I would appear that Matthew and Paul use the term δηθαηνζύλε in different ways. The aim of this study was therefore to ascertain what meaning Matthew wants to convey by δηθαηνζύλε in the Gospel, and in what way he applies this meaning to his arguments in the Gospel. In Chapter 1, the background and the problem statement are set out. The objective of Chapter 2 was to ascertain if Matthew‟s use of the concept of righteousness was influenced by the situation that gave rise to the Gospel of Matthew coming into being (Sitz im Leben der alten Kirche). It was concluded that Matthew wanted to present a more abundant δηθαηοζύλε to the community in Antioch in order to assist them in defining their identity. In Chapter 3, the meaning of the word δηθαηνζύλε outside the Gospel of Matthew was investigated. It was found that context plays an important role in establishing the meaning of the word. It also became clear that δηθαηνζύλε is a wide concept that comprises both the meanings of “ethical action by man” and “gift of God”. The objective of Chapter 4 was to ascertain what δηθαηνζύλε meant to Matthew. It was concluded that he used the term in an ethical sense. In Chapter 5, the statement that there might be a tension between the Sermon on the Mount and the rest of the Gospel was investigated in order to find out in what way Matthew applied his interpretation of righteousness in his arguments. The conclusion was that there is no tension between the Sermon on the Mount and the rest of the gospel. It was also found that Matthew and Paul do not differ from each other theologically with regard to the meaning of the word δηθαηνζύλε; indeed, they are close to each other in this respect. In Chapter 6, a final conclusion was made regarding the use of δηθαηνζύλε in the Gospel of Matthew, viz. that Matthew and Paul complement each other in their semantic interpretation of the word δηθαηνζύλε in such a way that the result is a comprehensive concept of righteousness. It was found that Matthew‟s presentation of the concept associated with the term δηθαηνζύλε provides important ethical values that could be applied the South African society.

Abstract:

Luke's gospel is not infrequently referred to as the gospel of mercy. This declaration has rarely, if at all, been seriously subjected to a critical investigation of its validity and the appropriateness of such a nomenclature. In particular, there has been little recognition of subtle and significant distinctions that can be made between mercy and compassion. This thesis therefore seeks to lay bare how the evangelist employed gospel source materials and his own literary talent to create and compose a sequence of narrative moments that lends itself to what is proposed here, especially a proper articulation of compassion as revealed by Luke's Jesus. Limiting its broader investigative focus to Lk 3:1-9:50 this study is primarily interested in Lk 6:36, its role within the oft neglected Sermon on the Plain (Lk 6:20-49), its significance for the content and composition of Lk 7, and then secondarily its connection with the narrative blocks found either side of Lk 6-7, where of particular note is the programmatic sermon of Lk 4:16-30. In this purview a keen eye on detail and patterns relative to word(s) and deed(s) makes it possible to discern certain key theological and Christological authorial assumptions. Specifically, it is through this purposeful depiction of God and Jesus in relation to humankind that Luke insightfully initiates the reader into the mission and ministry of the Christ and his chosen disciples. Observing closely what this Jesus says and does sheds light on the import of extended meaning attaching itself to Luke's writing. To comprehend this better it proves helpful to analyse the meaning and force of Lk 6:36 in its Sermon context, in Luke's larger narrative and within the broad spectrum of ideas that derive from biblical, linguistic, philosophical and theological discussions. Lk 6:36 in translation thus becomes the point of departure for a more expansive treatment of this sometimes elusive theme. Attempting to find the right, appropriately nuanced word in English helps establish an appreciation for the richer strands of meaning that attach to the mercy/compassion realm of language and that with certain conditioning have been either overshadowed or lost sight of altogether. Acquiring that orientation to the biblical concept evoked by Lk 6:36 can only be gained by an investigation that attentively inspects the palette of Hebrew and Greek terminology. A surprising array of interconnected yet distinct words, emphases and associations of image come as a result. When closely examined alongside the linguistic and historical data Luke's composition confirms that the "compassion" Jesus voices / enacts is thoroughly relational; at its core is a personal, life-giving parent-child kinship; God is its primary reference point (invoking the notions of imitatio Dei, imago Dei); its paradigm figure is Jesus whose words and deeds integrally reveal its extravagant, boundary-free, risk-laden outreach to human beings of all sorts; and by natural inclination it redresses suffering and oppression without impossible conditions. To be, feel and act for another in this way is measured ultimately not by a human but a divine standard. The investigative method of this thesis is a redaction-critical / composition-critical analysis of Lukan gospel material where "compassion" is best examined, defined and demonstrated. As a matter of course this approach accepts that Luke is both redactor of received materials (holding to the majority hypothesis on Synoptic sources) and author of a narrative with its own foci, emphases and theological character. Thus to define "compassion" through the words and deeds of the Lukan Jesus is to enter a narrative world virtually unexplored until now.

This thesis aims to analyze Huberto Rohden s thought, Brazilian Christian philosopher, in his work The Sermon on the Mount , in a, about this teaching by Jesus Christ as described in the Gospel of Mathew (5-7). The author considers the authentic Christianity to be as it was lived in the beginning centuries, as it was lived by the disciples of Christ. The importance of the speech by Jesus Christ, the so called The Sermon on the Mount , is studied under this view by Rohden, as well as the identification of his thought s specific fields, such as the philosophy, the religion, the metaphysics, the mysticism, the intuition and the spiritual reasoning, the great lines of his thought. It is also studied the scientific, philosophical and religious perspectives which have influenced his thought, as well as Rohden s comprehension of the Sermon in relation to other theologians. We emphasize that Rohden unveils in his work Sermon the spiritual Reasoning, category (with no intention of limiting his thought) which makes the spiritual Self experience possible, with the understanding above the analytical understanding and sensorial. The intuition, another characteristic which influences Rohden s thought, is an approach which cannot be set apart from his written productions, as the mystic-intuitive that sought its connection with the Supreme Being. As the mystic, the approach taken in this thesis is connected to his religiosity, as a dimension which shows the divine essence, calling for the consciousness as to how we can experience God. The metaphysical approach, which is the search for the Being, is God in Rohden, the Supreme Reality, and not just, or only, the thought. It must be emphasized, however, that the Being, by its own nature, is unreachable in its transcendentalism, and also unreachable in its essence.
Esta tese tem por objetivo analisar o pensamento de Huberto Rohden, filósofo cristão brasileiro, a partir de sua obra: O Sermão da Montanha , na perspectiva univérsica, sobre este ensinamento de Jesus Cristo descrito no Evangelho de Mateus (5-7). O autor considera como autêntico Cristianismo, a vivência cristã como nos primeiros séculos, assim como foi praticada pelos discípulos de Cristo. A importância do discurso de Jesus: o chamado Sermão da Montanha , é estudado nesta visão de Rohden, como também a identificação do campo específico do pensamento do autor como a filosofia, a religião, a metafísica, a mística, a intuição e a razão espiritual que foram as grandes vertentes de seu pensamento. Também é estudada a perspectiva científica, filosófica e religiosa que influenciou seu pensamento assim como a compreensão de Rohden sobre o Sermão em relação a outros teólogos. Salienta-se que Rohden desvela nesta sua obra (Sermão) a Razão espiritual, categoria (sem querer fechar o seu pensamento) que possibilita a experiência do Eu espiritual, compreendendo-a acima do inteligir analítico e do sensorial. A intuição, outra característica que perpassa o pensamento de Rohden, é uma abordagem que não pode ser separada de sua produção escriturística, como místico-intuitivo que procurou sua ligação com o Ser Supremo. Quanto à mística, a abordagem que se faz nesta tese, está ligada à sua religiosidade, como uma dimensão que mostra a essência divina, remetendo à consciência de como podemos vivenciar Deus. A abordagem metafísica, que é a procura pelo Ser, este Ser em Rohden é Deus a Suprema Realidade e não apenas, ou somente, o pensamento. Saliente-se, contudo que o Ser pela sua própria natureza é inacessível na sua transcendentalidade e inacessível também em sua essência.

Abstract:

As soon as the reading public realized that the much-enjoyed first volumes of Tristram Shandy were written by a priest and, furthermore, that this parson was publishing sermons under the name of Hamlet's exhumed jester, the sincerity of Sterne towards his vocation was questioned-if not flatly denied. This immediate reticence and indignation has expanded and persisted. The stumbling blocks are two: bawdy fiction is not fitting from a priest; and, the sermons, full of plagiarism, lack evangelical heat. The aim of this dissertation is to review the contexts of mid-eighteenth century Anglican homiletics with reference to Sterne's oeuvres. Once we understand what was expected from the pulpit in content and style, we are equipped to observe ways in which Steme strove to meet those expectations. To date no published work has responsibly considered his much-alleged plagiarism. This is rectified, and the evidence unveils an interested and very capable sermon-writer. We then consider Sterne's fictions. That, alongside ribaldry, the first volumes of Tristram contain an entire sermon has led some to conclude Steme was mocking religion. On the contrary, tracing themes of the homilies through both novels we come to appreciate an intended reciprocity between the works. Of interest in this regard is Sterne's engagement with fideistic scepticism, and the manner in which he developed his parabolic contribution to this tradition of faithful, learned ignorance. I suggest that, far from the buffoonery of a snickering prankster, Sterne's fiction represents the elements of his orthodox sermons within a provocative and curiously accessible mode. As such, his canon has integrity. He lusted earnestly, and endeavoured carefully that these little books might stand instead of many bigger books', and his hope was that they would do us good.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to examine gender issues in contemporary sermons. My sample consists of sermons delivered on BBC Radio 4 as part of acts of worship broadcast during 1993-4 which were examined to analyse how language, gender and power intersect to produce these discourses. In order to contextualize this material, chapter one focuses on the history of the sermon and its institutionalisation. Chapter two analyses the preachers’ use of generic terms and their use of the second person plural mode of address. In chapter three, I examine the gendered illustrations offered in the sermon sample in order to investigate how they contribute to create alienating and exclusionary discourses. Chapter four deals with the ways in which self-disclosure and the use of personal experience provide a means by which knowledge can be assimilated and transferred to others as well as acting as an inclusive mechanism in preaching. In chapter five, I demonstrate that metaphors have the potential to function as an inclusive device but that this influence may be negated if the gender content of the metaphor conveys gender-biases. Chapter six centres on the form and structure of the sermons as a way of considering the issue of a participatory address. The conclusion focuses on the way in which aspects of the notions of inclusive language intersect with the ways in which authority is traditionally defined. This thesis demonstrates that contemporary broadcast sermons do not endeavour to reflect the demands for inclusive language or less authoritarian discourses which have been made by feminists and advocated by most denominations in the Christian churches

This study aims to analyze the influences that a religious model has on a religious community, stablishing a correlation between Max Scheler?s conception of religious model, ethical progress and religious experience with the bible text Sermon on Mount, specially, the Antitheses (Mt 5, 17-48) and the Lord?s Prayer ritual orientation. With this purpose, in this study is made a research to identify the religious model from Matthew?s community to understand the powerful influence to the construction of the meanings in the social world of this community. This study was possible approaching Max Scheler?s phenomenological works to contextualize the religious model, religious experience and ethical progress concepts. As well as, it was necessary to go deep in historical, social and exegetical aspects from Matthew?s bible text. It was necessary to enable the correlation method associated to the Matthew?s bible text phenomenological analyses to apply Scheler?s horizon to the bible reality, to answer what is the relation between a religious model and religious experience in the community from the Matthew?s bible text.

Abstract:

If there is a leitmotif to American criticism of the past fifty years it is that America, exceptionally, was not discovered but constructed. Those in a new world void of self-evident tradition or the conventional markers of history, the story goes, invented an organic truth to their past experience, current interests, and future intentions. They constructed cultural memory. Fiction from the early national period, critics argue, variously reflects, exposes, challenges, and participates in this hegemonic process.

This project is dedicated to another group of American writers who insisted that the land did speak: Mormon and Gentile immigrants who walked west the breadth of a new nation and in their journals described haunted rock cities and uncanny Indian massacres. In these descriptions, poetic patterns prove more powerful than manifest appearances. The complex erosion and accretion of these rock cities and these massacre stories prompts reassessment of nineteenth-century Euro-American settlers’ relationship with the land and the land’s inhabitants and alternate interpretations of the seminal texts of American Romanticism.

In Chapter 1, I consider Idaho’s City of Rock’s mythical Almo Massacre in the context of Mormon prophecy, theology, and history. In this reading, I am centrally concerned with the effects of the story’s poetics: how does the Almo-Massacre story invent and perform the nation? The Mountain Meadows Massacre, and its translation from its authentic site to the site of its mythical reenactment in the City of Rocks, is my central concern in Chapter 2. Chapter 2 reminds us that trauma narratives are never about authentic specifics of place, time, or experience but about synesthetic sense: how things feel. This sense is artifactual, and thus heritable and transportable. This revelation informs my readings of the journals of America’s nineteenth-century overland immigrants who walked west and described not the virgin land of American myth but contested space. In Chapter 4, I turn to three of America’s canonical nineteenth-century nation stories: Washington Irving’s “Rip Van Winkle,” James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans , and Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn . In these stories, the world-as-felt matters as fully as the world-as-seen.

Abstract:

Religion plays a pivotal role in some societies, but the interaction between language and religion from a bilingualism perspective has not been fully explored. The overlap between the two, including “the way that religion and language interact to produce language contact” (Spolsky, 2003, p. 81), has recently been considered by Omoniyi and Fishman (2006). Many studies have been conducted regarding language use within institutional settings, such as schools, universities, workplaces and courtrooms. However, less attention has been paid to language use outside of these settings, such as within religious contexts, although mosques are viewed as institutional in nature. In particular, imams may switch between languages in their sermons in the mosque, perhaps similar to priests’ practices in churches where they may switch between Latin and English. The shortage of such studies regarding this phenomenon could be a result of the assumption that secularism is increasingly dominant and widespread, especially in Europe. This assumption can lead to an underestimation of the depth of religion in peoples’ lives and of the significance of the languages to express it. Another salient aspect may be that prayers tend not to change much over time and thus there is no need for such studies to be conducted. Yet, this is not actually true, especially in the case of Friday sermons, which tend to be less formulaic than prayers and in which ordinary talk also occurs. To explore this phenomenon, a qualitative study was undertaken by means of simulated recall interviews and non-participant observation with imams (n=10) and mosque audiences (n=7). The study reveals that employing more than one language in one-way religious speech is a means of increasing historical authenticity, exposing audiences to Arabic, overcoming a lack of easy equivalents in English (such as for the word bidah), emphasizing religious authority (given the very close links between Arabic and Islam), an assumption of audiences’ knowledge of some Arabic features (mostly in the form of words), or accommodating the iv diverse backgrounds of the audience, some of whom have knowledge of Arabic. This has been described as having spiritual, historical and emotional significance, invoking religious links associated between Arabic and Islam. Stakeholders, especially audiences, claim benefits beyond the language used in the sermons themselves. Imams, in addition, also tend to see the use of both English and Arabic as socially and culturally salient, a means of uniting people in an otherwise often fractured world, or one frequently presented as such in the media. Attitudes towards this phenomenon in mosques have been reported by all those involved as being very positive.

Abstract:

Etudier les sermons de F. De sales demande d'abord de clarifier ce que l'on sait du texte, de sa transmission, de ses éditions : le corpus est composé de "recueillis" aussi bien que d'autographes. Suit un très large état présent de ce que l'on connait de la "toile de fond" oratoire alors, qui permet d'aborder les textes théoriques salésiens, de situer leur filiation et leur originalité. La perspective théologique des sermons prend place enfin, qui les rapproche sans cesse du reste de l'œuvre salésienne : le scotisme de l'évêque marque toute sa réflexion sur Dieu et sur l'homme. Ainsi s'explique la spiritualité des sermons (qui est celle de toute l'œuvre), étudiée à propos de quelques points seulement. Rien n'est platonicien ici, si ce n'est des sources, communes alors, mais entièrement renouvelées par la pensée hébraïque et sa démarche, et une manière d'écrire. Au mystère joyeux de la visitation tout aboutit : art oratoire et style (choix des images et de certaines figures de style) autant que toute réflexion sur l'incarnation, Dieu trinité et amour, Dieu bonté "portée à la communication", l'homme image de Dieu trinitaire, dans l'unité de la diversité, pâques, la pentecôte, la transfiguration, aussi bien que noël. "Dieu s'est fait homme pour que l'homme soit fait Dieu" et "l'homme est créé pour la félicité et la félicité pour l'homme". En annexe, entre autres textes : des inédits, des sermons attribués à l'évêque, le fichier de recherche du travail
To study the sermons of F. De sales first requires to clear up what we know about the text, the way it was handed down to us, its editions, as the corpus is composed of, oral gatherings' (recueillis) and of autographs. Then comes a very extensive study of what is currently known about the oratorical background in those days, which makes it possible to deal with the salesian theoretical texts, to locate their filiation and their originality. Finally takes place the theological perspective of the sermons which constantly confronts to the whole work as the bishop's scotism influences the whole of his reflection upon God and man. Thus can be explained the spirituality of the sermons (characteristic of the whole work), here studied in connection with a few points only. Nothing platonic about them if only some sources, quite common then (but entirely renewed by the hebraic thought and its approach), and a certain way of writing. Everything converges on the merry mystery of the visitation : oratory and style (namely the choice of images and some tropes) as well as any reflection on incarnation, on God as trinity and love, God as benevolence" bent to communication", man as an image of a trinitary God, thus partaking of the unity of diversity, easter, whitsun, the transfiguration, as well as christmas. "God made himself a man so that man may be made God" and "man is created for bliss just as bliss for man". Within other texts, the appendix is constituted of unpublished items, sermons attributed to the bishop and the research card index of F. De sales works

Abstract:

This thesis is an analysis of the theme of human happiness in the Sermons written by Archbishop John Tillotson (1630-1694). Tillotson is today considered as one of the most important and influential members of the Latitudinarian group, a movement which generated inside the Church of England after the Restoration in 1660s and was renowned for the style of the sermons and the accent posed on morality and practical issues rather than theological matters. Part One is dedicated to the Latitudinarian movement, with a brief description of the historical background, of the theology it promoted and of the sermon style it encouraged. There is also a section dedicated to Tillotson’s life and style. Part Two and Three instead are devoted to the theme of happiness which is analysed in its connection to the single individual and to society. In Part Two the accent is posed on the possibility of educating men to goodness and happiness, teaching them how to use their reason and conscience in a profitable way. There is also an investigation of the ways in which Tillotson tried to encourage his audiences, focusing attention on the advantages that they might derive from doing good and living a morally upright life. This analysis leads the discussion to the use of self-love as an incitement to promote morality and reformation of manners. Part Three is centred on the relationship of happiness and society, and the accent is posed on the necessity of encouraging people to be charitable and to improve society by caring for the poor. The means used to spur men to action are advantages and interest. In talking about the necessity of charitable actions, Tillotson also questions the role played by providence in men’s lives and in the government of the state.
Si propone l’analisi del tema della felicità nei Sermoni scritti da John Tillotson (1630-1694), il quale fu eletto Arcivescovo di Canterbury nel 1691 e fu il maggiore esponente del movimento dei Latitudinari. Costoro erano un gruppo di religiosi noti per la loro sobrietà nella scrittura e per l’accento posto su questioni morali nei loro scritti. Nel primo capitolo, di carattere introduttivo, viene spiegato brevemente il ruolo dei Latitudinari, la loro dottrina e la struttura dei loro sermoni. Segue poi una parte dedicata alla vita e al pensiero di Tillotson. Nel secondo, terzo e quarto capitolo la candidata affronta il tema della felicità dal punto di vista del singolo, sondando la sua interazione con tematiche quali l’educazione della persona, la conoscenza di sé e l’uso della ragione, l’amor proprio e i vantaggi che una vita moralmente retta può portare. Il quinto capitolo invece è dedicato alla visione del tema della felicità collettiva, con riferimento alle pratiche caritatevoli in voga in Inghilterra alla fine del 1600 e al rapporto del singolo e della collettività con la provvidenza divina.

Abstract:

Cette thèse propose une analyse stylistique des sermons du poète et prédicateur "métaphysique" anglais John Donne (1572-1531). Prenant en compte les spécificités du genre et de sa tradition (le sermon, la prédication, l'herméneutique biblique) et les conceptions de l'époque (la renaissance, age d'or du sermon en Angleterre) de l'éloquence sacrée et du style, cette approche essentiellement formelle, fondée sur une lecture serrée des textes, et empruntant une partie de ses cncepts à la linguistique de l'énonciation, vise à rendre compte du fonctionnement des sermons de Donne en tant que textes littéraires et poétiques, ainsi que de la production du sens, suivant trois axes principaux : les mécanismes de référence, le jeu des personnes et des voix, et le travail de citation de la Bible. Cette étude inclut également une description méthodique du corpus des sermons
