Abstract:

Contemporary American novels over the last forty years have developed a unique orientation toward religious and spiritual rhetoric that can best be understood within the multidisciplinary concept of the postsecular. In the morally-tinged discourse of their characters, several esteemed American novelists (John Updike, Toni Morrison, Louise Erdrich, and Cormac McCarthy) since 1970 have used sermons or sermon-like artifacts to convey postsecular attitudes and motivations. These postsecular sermons express systems of belief that are hybrid, exploratory, and confessional in nature. Through rhetorical analysis of sermons in four contemporary American novels, this dissertation explores the performance of postsecularity in literature and defines the contribution of those tendancies to the field of literary and rhetorical studies.

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.

Bainton, Christine. "Gender issues in contemporary sermons." Thesis, University of Northampton, 1998. http://nectar.northampton.ac.uk/2842/.

Full text

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

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.

Alsaawi, Ali Abdulkarim A. "Imams' language use in mosque sermons." Thesis, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10443/3985.

Full text

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

Dal, Santo Regina Maria <1981&gt. "Assessing human happiness in John Tillotson's Sermons." Doctoral thesis, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10579/4615.

Full text

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:

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Esta tese analisa as moralidades vicentinas a partir dos preceitos retóricos presentes na Arte Retórica de Aristóteles e na retórica latina a fim de observar possíveis pontos de identificação das moralidades com os sermões medievais. Para tanto, investiga como a retórica influenciou os diversos tratados de prédica que orientaram a produção de sermões no período. O conhecimento das técnicas retóricas, seja em sua formulação antiga, ou em suas atualizações, mostra-se um importante meio de interpretação não só das estratégias persuasivas das moralidades, como também na compreensão do sentido mais profundo do texto. O corpus vicentino de interesse para esta investigação foi delimitado e organizado a partir da distinção dos discursos epidíticos, deliberativo e judiciário no que concerne à identificação dos valores e argumentos predominantes nos autos analisados, quais sejam: a exaltação das virtudes e da Virgem nos autos da Fé e da Mofina Mendes e as vantagens dos discursos que visam à deliberação nos autos da Alma e da Feira, além da construção argumentativa no diálogo das personagens que acusam/defendem nos autos da Barca do Inferno e Purgatório
This thesis analyzes the vincentian moralities from rhetoric precepts found in Aristotle's The Art of Rhetoric and latin rhetoric in order to observe possible points of identification of morality with medieval sermons. Therefore, investigates how the rhetoric influenced the various treaties that guided the production of preaching sermons in the period. Knowledge of rhetorical techniques, whether in its old formulation, or their updates, shows an important means of interpretation not only of persuasive strategies of morals, but also in understanding the deeper meaning of the text. The vincentian corpus of interest for this research was delimited and organized from the distinction of epideictic, deliberative and judicial speeches concerning the identification of values and arguments prevalent in the autos analyzed, namely: the exaltation of the virtues and the Virgin in the autos of Fé and Mofina Mendes, and the advantages of speeches aimed at deliberation in the autos of Alma and Feira, as well as argumentative construction in the dialogue of the characters who accuse/argue in the autos of Barca do Inferno and Purgatório

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

Abstract:

En el año 1520 el obispo de Barcelona, inquisidor general del Reino de Aragón, confesor de la reina Isabel I de Castilla y predicador real de Fernando II de Aragón, Martín García, lleva a cabo una compilación de sus 156 Sermones, que había predicado aproximadamente entre los años 1490 y 1510. Esta obra, cuyo título completo es Sermones eminentissimi totiusque Barchinonensis gregis tutatoris acerrimi, necnon immarcessibilis sacre theologie paludamento insigniti Martini Garsie, fue impresa en 1520, en Zaragoza, por Jorge Coci. Los Sermones tienen una finalidad doble: por una parte, su objetivo es realizar el mayor número de conversiones posibles al cristianismo entre las poblaciones musulmana y judía; por otra parte, los Sermones persiguen afianzar la fe de los cristianos viejos y reforzar el adoctrinamiento de los nuevos conversos. El propósito de esta tesis doctoral es ofrecer una primera edición filológica de los Sermones del dominico Martín García.
In the year 1520 the Bishop of Barcelona, General Inquisitor of the Kingdom of Aragon, Confessor of the Queen Isabella I of Castile and Royal Preacher of Ferdinand II of Aragon, Martín García, compiled 156 of his Sermones, that he had aproximately preached between the years 1490 and 1510. This work, which complete title is Sermones eminentissimi totiusque Barchinonensis gregis tutatoris acerrimi, necnon immarcessibilis sacre theologie paludamento insigniti Martini Garsie, was printed in 1520 by Georgius Coci in Zaragoza. The Sermones had two main goals: on the one hand, the aim was to achieve the highest number of conversions to Christianity among the Muslim and Jew population and, on the other hand, the Sermones pursued the consolidation of the faith of Old Christians and, also, strengthened the indoctrination of the new converted. The purpose of this thesis is to present the first modern philological edition of the Sermones by the Dominican Martín García.

Abstract:

The rise of Late Antiquity as a separate discipline, with its focus on social history, has meant that the vast homiletic corpus of John Chrysostom has received renewed attention as a source for the wider cultural and historical context within which his sermons were preached. Recent studies have demonstrated the exciting potential his sermons have to shed light on aspects of daily life, popular attitudes and practices of lay piety. In short, Chrysostom's sermons have been recognised as a valuable source for the study of 'popular Christianity' and the extent of Christianization at the end of the fourth century. This thesis, however, will question the validity of some recent conclusions drawn from Chrysostom's sermons regarding the state of popular Christianity. A narrative has been developed in which Chrysostom is often seen as at odds with the congregations to whom he preached. On this view, the Christianity of élites such as Chrysostom had made little inroads into popular thought beyond the fairly superficial, and congregations were still living with older, more culturally traditional views about religious beliefs which preachers were doing their utmost to overcome. It is the argument of this thesis that such a portrayal is based on a misreading of Chrysostom's sermons, and which fails to explain satisfactorily the apparent popularity that Chrysostom enjoyed as a preacher. What this thesis sets out to do, therefore, is to reassess how we read Chrysostom's sermons, with a particular focus on the harsh condemnatory language which permeated his preaching, and on which the image of the contrary congregation is largely based. To do this, this thesis sets out to recover a neglected portrayal of Chrysostom as a pastor and preaching as a pastoral and liturgical activity, through an exploration of four different but overlapping aspects of the socio-historical context within which his preaching was set. A consideration of the scholastic, therapeutic, prophetic and liturgical nature of his preaching will shed light on the pastoral relationship between the preacher and his congregation and will, significantly, provide a backdrop against which his condemnatory language can be explained and understood. It will become clear that his use of condemnatory language says more about how he understood his role as preacher than about the extent of Christianization in late-antique society. Through focussing on the issues of the social composition of the congregation and the level of commitment to (Chrysostom's) Christianity, it will be argued that sermon texts are in their nature resistant to being used as sources for this kind of social history. Despite this, however, glimpses will also emerge of a very different picture of late-antique Christianity, in which Chrysostom's congregation are rather more willing to listen and learn from their preacher than is often assumed.

Abstract:

This thesis examines eleventh-century figural sculptures from Croatia by focusing on their iconography and potential symbolical significance. It consists of a detailed analysis of seventeen well-preserved carvings and an accompanying catalogue with six additional pieces, which are too damaged and fragmentary to be analyzed. These figural sculptures have been studied together on only two occasions, more than fifty years ago, and these publications focused on the manner of their carving and their dating. This stylistic approach has dominated the Croatian scholarship, and the investigation of the meaning of figural sculptures has been mostly sporadic and unsystematic. As such, it has created a vacuum in which the sculptures exist as catalogue entries in neat stylistic categories. In contrast, this thesis examines the figural sculptures by applying an iconographic analysis. This methodological approach investigates the visual sources for the schemes depicted, followed by the exploration of their iconographic significance, at the basis of which are the exegetical writings of early Christian and early medieval theologians. Thus, this thesis examines the figural sculptures in their contexts (architectural, religious and social) the results of which provide a deeper understanding of and more information about the culture and society which had produced them. Following from this, the chapters are grouped according to the current amount of information about their original architectural setting. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on the sculptures from the churches of Holy Dominica (reconstructed) and St Lawrence (still extant) at Zadar, which provide an excellent architectural context. Chapter 3 deals with three different sites where the churches have been preserved only in their foundations (St Mary's, Biskupija; SS Peter and Moses, Solin; St Michael's, Kolo?ep). Finally, Chapter 4 analyzes the sculptures existing or discovered outside their original architectural setting.
