Abstract:
Bibliography: pages 261-275.
This study examines the role of story in the Christian proclamation. It focusses upon the dynamic of story which unites praxis and language in a single message. There are four stages of argument. The First Part examines the hermeneutic problem especially as discussed in the work of Gadamer, Palmer, Robinson, Funk and others writers on the so-called New Hermeneutic. Their views are set against the perspective of liberation and contextual theologies from Cone, Segundo, and Miguez Bonino amongst others. The impact of social praxis and context on communication and interpretation is examined. Its importance as a barrier to the translation of the whole dynamic of the gospel proclamation is stressed. Part Two examines Jesus parables and acted parables. The data comes from two sources: the dominant form-critical approach to parables as exemplified by Jeremias or Crossan, in which the situation behind the text is examined. Second is the recent sociological approach to the practice of Jesus taken by such scholars as Theissen or Echegaray. The approach to this data comes from an analysis of the "history of the transmission of the tradition", a concept developed by Pannenberg from the work of Rentdorf and Von Rad. It provides a series of categories through which the data is examined. The dynamic of story is shown in the unity of actions. Function and structure in the parabolic stories and The Third Part surveys the role of story as a category in contemporary theology. First, the approach of narrative theology is cosidered as in the work of Stroup, McClendon, McFague and others. Then the role of story in Third World theological reflection on liberation struggles is described. Examples are drawn mainly from Asia (China, Korea and the Philippines). The Latin American debate about such cultural forms is briefly reviewed. Lastly the role of story in some British contextual theology is discussed. The dynamic of story is discovered in the function and impact of stories in theological reflection in the struggle against oppressive situations. Part Four briefly notes the perspective of critical theorists, like Habermas, on hermeneutics. Finally an attempt is made to tell stories of theological reflection on domination as a practical exercise illustrating the theoretical themes of the study. The impetus for the study arises from two periods of practical experience. One of some ten years duration, was work in British inner city ministry and theological training, in a context where community groups were struggling against many manifestations of urban stress. The second period, of about half a year, was an exposure to the conditions of life in rural (communal lands) and urban (high density residential area) Zimbabwe, as a visitor to the Methodist Church. In both instances stories were a vital means of communication about the most important things.

Abstract:
In this thesis, minjung theology will be analysed and compared briefly with liberation theology. Through this comparison minjung theology can be presented more clearly. Therefore this thesis does not place great stress upon liberation theology, although the evaluation of liberation theology illuminates minjung theology. The intention of the author is not to distinguish the two theologies, but rather by means of this comparison to achieve better understanding of their contemporary society.

Abstract:
What impact can architecture have on the theology of and worship in church architecture? What is their relationship? How could I combine my lifelong Christian faith and my soon to be profession, so that I might use it to worship and honor God with my architecture? Also, what places might religion have in our society, now that we are becoming more multicultural and perhaps more religious as well. These were questions I wanted to study this semester, and a conversation with my friend gave me a real life example to base my work on, namely to design a church building for his growing church Husbykyrkan.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis that Caribbean Theology is Public Theology is an articulation of the praxis of seeking to build a just and responsible society. It surveys the historical and contemporary context of the Caribbean and defines its struggle against inequality and the distortion of identity. This history of the Caribbean is a history of the resistance by the people of the Caribbean against inequality and notions of their inferiority. Caribbean Theology is founded on this emancipatory imagination of the people and this spirit of resistance. The liberation biblical hermeneutic reading strategy of Caribbean Theology is a reader response approach which comes to the text from the world in front of the text. The Legion narrative in Mark Chapter Five is offered as an example of this reading strategy. The narrative is used as lenses to reflect upon the problem of self-mutilating violence in the Caribbean. It argues that the high incident of violence is the result of the interiorization of oppression and therefore the distortion of identity. The narrative is also an analogy of Caribbean reality in the ways in which recalcitrant forces collude in order to seek to re-entrench patterns of inequality and oppression. Caribbean Theology began as a self-conscious movement in response to the call for justice and liberation, to pursue Caribbean identity and to conscientize. It is also alert to the fact that the struggle for Caribbean selfhood contends with reactionary forces that are determined to reverse historical gains. These forces are aided and abetted by idolatry. Caribbean Theology must therefore pursue the triple tasks of exorcism, iconoclasm and holism through the congregational life and prophetic witness of the Church in the public square.

Abstract:
Revisiting the Modernist Martyr,‘ George Tyrrell, a century after his death is self-evidently problematic. This work draws upon ten years of personal experience, living and teaching in Stonyhurst, Tyrrell‘s former Jesuit College, and two decades of researching his thought. It is not unreasonable to assert, following the lead of Gabriel Daly, that it is practically impossible to approach modernism without personal bias and ideology. Ironically highlighting the dangers of such an undertaking, Hilaire Belloc cautions, that history should be written not from the Bar, but from the Bench.‘ Moreover, it must show a willingness to submit to what Matthew Arnold called the despotism of fact.‘ In addition, contemporary historians and systematic theologians accentuate the importance of hermeneutical considerations of authors, texts and receivers .... At the turn of the twentieth century Tyrrell articulated a challenge to those who would take the church out of history and place it in some ideal realm. Drawing upon Lonergan, some argue that the church had locked itself into a classicist understanding of culture as a normative ideal that it possessed and others must obtain. Tyrrell played a leading role in instigating the shift from classicism to historical consciousness. ...

Full text
Abstract:
This submission centres on substantive issues of constructive theology, and particularly on interpreting the love of God. The focus is on the multi-layered impact of a Christology of divine love, developed through five monographs (I began to look at concepts of love as key to exegesis in theology in my Ph.D. thesis, published as Exegesis and Method in Hilary of Poitiers, 1978). Theology of the Love of God (1980) explores concepts of the love of God as the basic structuring element of Christian theology. In engagement with interpretations of love in the tradition, and with contemporary use of concepts of faith, hope and history, it is proposed that the nature of God as love shapes every aspect of theology. In God in Christian Perspective (1994) the enterprise is developed further. An understanding of God as a multi-faceted model draws on Christology and Trinity, faith and practice in community. God is personal, self-differentiated being, transcendent, yet also immanent in the created order as hidden divine presence. The core elements-faith and revelation, divine action and Christology-are reappraised in the light of current theological proposals. Doctrines interact in a web of connection to shape Christian practice. A Christian understanding retains the basic core of unconditional love, Christologically characterised. A contemporary concept of God draws upon these core elements, and upon a retrieval of the historical traditions from which they arise. It can be articulated in language intelligible to contemporary citizens, and its consequences spelled out within the complexity of contemporary cultures. Generosity and the Christian Future (1997) carries this thesis to a further stage through engagement with the emancipatory theologies, postmodernity, and political theory. John and Donald Baillie - Transatlantic Theology (2002), built on first access to the Baillie Papers, lies at the heart of this submission. I regard the work of the Baillies as seminal to the understanding, justification and revisioning of a progressive Christian theology. This is a theological biography of the Baillie brothers. It traces in detail the interaction of their theology within the cultures in Europe and America in which they worked--notably in the circle of the ‘critical realists.’ It sheds light on the huge influence of the Baillies in Scotland. This tradition is a trajectory against the stream today. I judge it to offer significant resources, combining conceptual plasticity with distinctive direction, for the future. The Transformative Imagination - Rethinking Intercultural Theology (2004). This comparative study of connections between theology and culture, through the arts, the sciences, political and human rights issues, shapes reflection on the mystery of God in a postfoundational frame.

Full text
Abstract:
A model was developed to account for the static elastic behaviour of the lung tissue strip in terms of distributions of collagen and elastin fibers. Distributions of collagen fiber lengths and elastin fiber stiffnesses were determined by fitting the model to data from dog lung tissue strips. These distributions followed 1/f power-laws for more than 95% of the data. Computer simulations of two dimensional tissue strip models with 1/f distributions of collagen fiber lengths also predicted realistic stress-strain curves. The simulations illustrated the gradual development of geometric and stress heterogeneity throughout the tissue as the collagen fibers were recruited during stretch. This model suggests a mechanistic basis for the shape of the pressure-volume curve of whole lung. It also indicates how this curve may be affected by changes in tissue collagen and elastin similar to the changes occurring in the diseases of pulmonary emphysema and fibrosis. Nonparametric block-structured nonlinear models for describing both the static and dynamic stress-strain behaviour of the lung were applied to dog lung tissue strips and to whole rat lungs in vivo. Both the Wiener and Hammerstein models accounted for more than 99% of the tissue strip data, although the Hammerstein model was more consistently accurate across a range of perturbation amplitudes and operating stresses. Plastic dissipation of energy within the lung tissue strip was estimated at less than 20% of the total dissipation during slow sinusoidal cycling. The Hammerstein model was also the best of those investigated for describing the rat lung data in vivo, although there were dependencies of the model parameters on perturbation amplitude and operating point that indicate that a more complicated model is required for the whole lung. Finally, construction of a fiber recruitment model for the dynamic mechanical behaviour of lung tissue strips was attempted. However accurate reproduction of measured behaviour was no

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation of the place and function of repentance in the theology of Paul as determined by the critical application of the categories "getting-in" and staying-in" to the passages where the term is used and to passages where the concept may be implied. It contains an exegesis of those passages and an analysis of Paul's conversion experience. Consideration is also given to the implications this study has for other areas of New Testament study.
The main theses are that repentance was used by Paul in a variety of ways and played a more important role for him than has been thought and that Paul's place in early Christianity was in line with the teaching of Jesus and the early Christian church.

Abstract:
'A Theology of Disgust' is a personal journey through the bodily experience of physical impairment and the social oppressions of sexism and disabilism. This journey has highlighted the extraordinary power of the emotion of disgust to distort relations throughout the natural order. Utilising the phenomenological approach of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the theological critique and insights of feminist theologies as well as the resources of contextual theological reflection, a new appreciation of the human body and body of the earth is sought by engaging more viscerally with the fears (and hopes) of flesh which have troubled the Christian tradition. It is claimed that the effects of human disgust have compromised Christianity’s life giving message of divine love and God given power of relationality throughout creation. It argues for a deeper consciousness of the need for pyschic and social change in our human relationships, with each other and with the whole earth, believing this can be achieved through renewed ecomystical liturgy in the church, labelling and uncovering paralyzing fears so that the church could be seen as a beacon of hope and knowledge for all sentient life. A variety of methods to revitalise and empower liturgy are considered as pointers to enable the church to become an ‘ecclesial spa’ which would lead to deeper engagement with the often neglected physical realities within creation. The aim is also to help all those who suffer, to become theological agents of their embodied lives. The overall goal is to love at a deeper level those constitutive elements of the earth which sustain the world, before the disabled earth founders due to human indifference to both the joys and suffering of creation which, it is believed, are captured and held in tandem at the heart of the gospel of the incarnation and resurrection of Christ.

Full text
Abstract:
Whether Aristotle wrote the treatises of Metaphysics with different conceptions of the science of Being in mind has long puzzled scholars. The particular question that causes them unease is whether Aristotle's enterprise in establishing the science of Being through the several treatises of Metaphysics is marked by a general science of Being, studying all departments of Being whatsoever (metaphysica generalis), or whether his investigation of this science reflects an attitude towards a special metaphysics (metaphysica specialis) seeking knowledge of a special department of Being, in this case, God, and therefore should be regarded as a science that is eminently theological. In this thesis, I aim to show that Aristotle's enterprise in Metaphysics does not necessarily hinder reconciliation between the universal and the theological dimensions of the science of Being and that although Aristotle's conception of the science of Being is eminently theological it does not conflict with its also being universal. Furthermore, I aim to show that had the conception of the science of Being in Aristotle's mind not been theological, it would not be universal either.

Abstract:
Even the most casual contemporary observer of Christianity must recognise that the notion of Christian community being identifiable through the mutual love of its members (John 13:35) is difficult to reconcile with the schismatic reality of current ecclesial life, dominated in the public sphere by divisive debates on matters such as gender or sexuality. Given the constant presence of disagreement throughout the church’s history, it remains an ethical subject neglected by scholars. This study examines how New Testament texts might inform Christian approaches to disagreement. It is the first systematic consideration of disagreement as a New Testament theme; it follows, and critiques, the methodological approach of Richard Hays in The Moral Vision of the New Testament. The context is public disagreement among Christians: how the church speaks in public when facing its inevitable disagreements, and what theological and ethical concerns might inform how this speech proceeds. The thesis is in three parts. Part One is an examination of the New Testament in relation to disagreement, following Hays' 'descriptive task'. In Part Two, the 'synthetic' and 'hermeneutical' tasks of Hays' methodology are critiqued and some modifications are proposed; a theology of disagreement that emerges from the New Testament is outlined. Part Three considers some ecclesiological implications of this theology of disagreement. Following Hays' 'pragmatic task', it examines how moral theological insights from the New Testament interact with the life of the contemporary church. Illustrative examples consider the church's public theological witness, its pneumatology, and its liturgy, to demonstrate the need for a Christian ethic to engage with extra-Biblical authority with greater enthusiasm than Hays. The thesis concludes by affirming the particular value of reading the New Testament in pursuit of ethical wisdom, but without excluding insights from tradition, reason and experience. The challenge for the church is identified as a move Towards Loving Disagreement; an integral part of its mission is to disagree Christianly.

Trafford, Simon J. "The theology of Aeschylus." Thesis, Swansea University, 2013. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42603.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the theology of Aeschylus through a close text-based discussion of the nature and justice of Zeus. This will not be a dogmatic investigation that looks for signs of monotheism or 'proto-monotheism'. Rather, this thesis will examine the presentation of the god in Aeschylus, as he is found in his plays, free from any desire or attempt to form a rounded, comprehensive 'Aeschylean theology'. The first chapter considers the two closely connected divine terms, thetaepsilonozeta and deltaalphaiotamuonu. The clear-cut and easily discernible meaning of thetaepsilonozeta acts as a constant with which the more ambiguous and less determinable word deltaalphaiotamuonu can be compared and contrasted. This chapter discusses both those instances where deltaalphaiotamuonu seems to be synonymous with thetaepsilonozeta and where it does not, where the term seems to possess a meaning close to that of an individual's fortune or destiny in life. This is done in order to conclusively see how Aeschylus uses the word deltaalphaiotamuonu in the Eumenides as part of his characterisation of the Erinyes, which enables us to see more clearly what role divine terminology plays in the presentation of Zeus and the god's justice. The remaining chapters of this thesis examine Zeus in Aeschylus. First, attention is given to the old debates concerning the potential and respective influence of Homeric, Hesiodic and Presocratic conceptions of divinity on the theology of Aeschylus. Then, the final chapter of the thesis looks at the justice of Zeus primarily through a discussion of one question, whether we should understand Agamemnon as guilty in the eyes of Zeus, which it is argued we should not. It is shown that Aeschylus does not present an optimistic idea of Zeus or divine justice, and the god's rule is seen as neither kind nor benevolent. Rather a pragmatic and pessimistic view is presented to us by Aeschylus, one which recognises that Zeus is an all-powerful being in need of respect and honour and whose will must be carefully observed.

Bernard, Low Bun Leong. "The Levitical Theology of Sacrifice and Paul's Theology of Atonement, Baptism and the Eucharist." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2007. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.490054.

Full text
Abstract:
As a Pharisee and an apostle, Paul's theology is fundamentally the theology of the Jewish Scriptures. At the heart and centre of those Scriptures is the book of Leviticus. This book not only has a formative influence on Paul's early education and rabbinic training, its theology of sacrifice has also informed and clarified Paul's theology ofatonement, baptism and the Eucharist. Recent research into the Levitical theology of sacrifice has elucidated the meaning, purpose and function not only of the different offerings but also of the different rites involved in Israel'S cult of atonement. This in tum has clarified how atonement works in the sin-offering, namely, by the principle of identification, and what it involves, namely, the sinner passing through the judgment of death which also destroys his sinfulness (or him qua sinner) thereby rendering him spiritually fit to enter YHWH's presence to have fellowship with Him. Since Paul undoubtedly understands Christ's death as a Levitical sin-offering, this thesis argues that Paul's atonement theology is accordingly also underpinned by the principle of cultic identification and entails the believer's identification with Christ and participation in His death, burial and resurrection. This is analogous to the Israelite worshiper's identification with the sin-offering animal and participation in what happens to it which are effected by the cultic hand-laying rite. Since Paul understands baptism to effect the Christian's identification with Christ and participation in His sin-offering sacrifice, this thesis also argues that baptism corresponds to the hand-laying rite and fulfils its functions. Finally, because Christ's sin-offering sacrifice is followed by the Eucharist which He instituted in anticipation and celebration ofHis deliverance from death, this thesis argues too that the Eucharist is Christ's todah ('thank-offering'), a variety of the well-being offering which normally concludes a sacrifice which would always begin with a sin-offering.

Kelly, Morag Patricia. "Taking theology to work : ressourcement theology and industrial work in interwar France and Belgium." Thesis, Durham University, 2016. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11819/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis argues that the theological narratives about industrial work which Joseph Cardijn and M.-Dominique Chenu developed during the inter-war and immediate post-war period should be read in terms of ressourcement theology. Cardijn and Chenu recovered the sources of theology of work, whilst acknowledging the critical importance of the everyday experience of working life, the hallmark of ressourcement theology. In doing so, this thesis makes the first sustained scholarly comparison of the theological narratives of work of Cardijn and Chenu. Drawing on archival material, I argue that Cardijn was fully conversant with the debates on Mystical Body ecclesiology of the mid-twentieth century, linking the experience of factory work to the Eucharist, and thereby offering workers a concrete method of integrating their faith into their working life. I argue that his development of the See-Judge-Act methodology was a practical way of reinforcing workers’ identity as dignified human persons created in the divine image. Turning to Chenu I draw on his French-language publications, few of which have been translated into English, to argue that by publishing much of his theological writing on work in popular (rather than academic) format, he was putting the ressourcement methodology into practice, by bringing theological discourse into the heart of life. I show how Chenu shared Cardijn’s concern for the salvation of the working classes, then largely absent from the churches and parish life. I demonstrate that he employed the dramatic socio-economic changes of the high medieval period to interrogate contemporary theological discourse on work, and to develop a theological narrative appropriate to twentieth-century industrial work, whether for the Jeunesse ouvrière chrétienne (JOC) or for the Worker Priests. Finally, I draw out their critical contributions to contemporary theologies of work.

Abstract:
From the perspective of Feminist Liberation theology women who partake in the present sacramental Eucharist of the Roman Catholic Church assent to and actively consume their own oppression within its patriarchal symbolic system which denies women a discrete subjectivity. Re-evaluating the place of women in the divine economy and claiming equal value to 'thefeminine' and 'the masculine' traits where women have a subjectivity in their own right challenges traditional Roman Catholic theology but is in keeping with new theologies in which the traditionally 'feminine' values are central. ! As the celebration of the Eucharist uses the religious symbolic to communicate beliefs a theme running through the study is how human attributes have been afforded different value with the 'feminine' values symbolised as the female, associated with nature and denigrated in the past, now being reclaimed as central to the ecosystem that maintains human life and an essential element in the fabric of the cosmos. In Section 1 I examine the Vatican documents of the Roman Catholic Magisterium in relation to women, priesthood and Eucharist. I found that the theology put forward was unable to accommodate women and that the theologies of male priesthood and .Eucharist were intimately linked. Missing from this theology was any positive attitude towards the earth with which the feminine and the female was identified, a positive attitude towards the body and a discrete subjectivity for women. Section 2 addresses these areas found missing in order to re-evaluate the embodied feminine searching out a positive view of the body as the home of the divine. Contemporary theories of the construction of subjectivity are considered as a counter to the mediated subjectivity demanded of women in a patriarchal outlook. I then argue that given the restricted role offered to women in the traditional family which mirrors the Roman Catholic model of God, a Eucharistic theology based on friendship might offer a more inclusive paradigm. Section 3 is concerned with how the feminine can be included in our understanding of the divine economy and evaluate Relational Theologies that are offering a model of interdependent relationality as indicative of the divinelhuman relationship which . respects the feminine traits previously maligned. I utilize the findings of the sciences in challenging the inferior place of the natural world in religious thought, claiming matter as embodying the divine; I then focus on Feminist theologies of Christology and Redemption in which the previously marginalised can offer a fresh revelation of Christ.. Relational theologies, including the emerging Quantum theology are put forward as a means of including the missing feminine in a theology of Eucharist. In conclusion I posit that applying the findings of Feminist Liberation theology to the Sacrament of the Eucharist challenges the theology of Eucharist and theological reflection on Christ, Redemption, and the theology of Atonement that underpins the sacramental celebration of the human/divine relationship. Alternative Relational theologies advocate a different model of the divine rooted in relationships based on interdependence which radicalises reflection on the nature of God. I propose that Feminist Liberation theology has the potential to afford a sacramental Eucharist where women are not required to assent to their own oppression but offers an expanded understanding of who we may become when we eat at the Eucharistic table.
