Abstract:

As a neologism for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the modern construct 'Abrahamic religions' is as ubiquitous as it is contested in the study of the monotheistic religions. Some have argued against the use of the concept on both historical and theological grounds. In particular, the concept is often interpreted as ecumenically motivated in the thought of Louis Massignon. This understanding arises from a parochial interpretation of its origins, in which Massignon's reflections on the subject over time, as well as its varied uses in recent times, have not been fully considered. This thesis calls for a more extensive historical analysis of its genealogy with the aim of discussing its intellectual and cultural backgrounds. In doing so, it seeks to shed light on how the interrelationships between the three religions had been historically examined prior to Massignon, and how the birth of the concept in his thought and its subsequent uses offer a richer understanding of the concept that goes beyond ecumenical significance. To this end, this thesis unpacks the concept by probing into its antecedents, examining its birth, and reflecting on its future. The first chapter aims to show the historical basis for considering a genus for the three religions, by surveying perspectives on Abraham in historia sacra, and thereafter, discussing works in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that explore the connections between the three religions. The second and third chapters introduce Massignon and discuss his Abrahamic thought from both its socio-religious and intellectual perspectives. The main text examined here is his Les trois prières d'Abraham. The fourth chapter traces the different trajectories of the concept after Massignon and highlights its nuanced meanings as derived from these variegated uses. The fifth and concluding chapters explore the ways in which the concept can profit the study of religion.

Abstract:

Aquesta tesi doctoral proposa una aproximació entre l’àrea dels estudis de comunicació anomenada «Media, Religió i Cultura» i l'estudi de la globalització i de la geopolítica en relació amb les tres tradicions religioses que deriven de la cosmovisió abrahamítica, és a dir, el judaisme, el cristianisme i l'lslam. Mitjançant una presentació de l'estat de la qüestió de la literatura acadèmica corresponent, l'anàlisi doctrinal, històrica i comparativa del desenvolupament de l'ús i la percepció dels mitjans de comunicació per part de cadascuna de les tres tradicions religioses, i mitjançant l'anàlisi de les conseqüències geopolítiques que implica aquest ús i percepció, aquest estudi pretén oferir una possible nova tendència en l'àrea acadèmica de «Media, Religió i Cultura» incloent-hi, no només la manera com les tradicions religioses específiques perceben els mitjans de comunicació a partir dels principis religiosos que les determinen, sinó també les conseqüències geopolítiques que comporta l'ús i la percepció que les religions fan dels mitjans.
Esta tesis doctoral propone una aproximación entre el área de los estudios de comunicación llamada «Media, Religión y Cultura» y el estudio de la globalización y de la geopolítica en relación con las tres tradiciones religiosas que derivan de la cosmovisión abrahamítica, a saber, el judaísmo, el cristianismo y el Islam. Mediante una presentación del estado de la cuestión de la literatura académica correspondiente, el análisis doctrinal, histórico y comparativo del desarrollo de la percepción y uso de los medios por parte de cada una de las tres tradiciones religiosas, y mediante el análisis de las consecuencias geopolíticas que implica tal percepción y uso, el trabajo de investigación busca ofrecer una posible nueva tendencia dentro del área académica de «Media, Religión y Cultura» incluyendo, no solo el cómo las tradiciones religiosas específicas utilizan y perciben los medios de comunicación a partir de los principios religiosos que las determinan, sino también las consecuencias geopolíticas que conlleva tal percepción y uso de los medios.
This PhD thesis proposes an approach between the area of communication studies called «Media, Religion and Culture» and the study of globalization and geopolitics regarding the three religious traditions derived from the Abrahamitic cosmovision, that is, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Through a presentation of the state of the art of the main academic literature, a doctrinal, historical and_ comparative analysis of the development and framing of the different media within each of the three religious traditions, and through an analysis of the geopolitical consequences that such fraiming entails, the research work aims at offering a possible new trend of study within the «Media, Religion and Cultural» academic area including, not only how specific religious traditions use and understand media according to the religious principles that determine them, but also the geopolitical consequences that such a use an understanding involve.

Abstract Purpose: The study focuses on the number seven in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The purpose of this essay was to find out where in the Holy Scriptures and traditions the number seven can be found and also to understand what purpose the number have in these religions. Method: In order to answer the purpose of the work, various literature studies were used with previous research on the subject. The studies used gave a deeper understanding of the historical background of the number seven. In addition to literature studies, the religious scriptures, the Bible and the Qur'an were used. Theory: The theory used in the work is intertextuality. Intertextuality is based on the fact that most texts are based on other texts. Given that the religious scriptures were studied in the paper, this theory was very helpful. Result: The survey of the religious texts revealed that the number seven addresses the moderation of the creation myth which made the characters in the biblical story use the number seven as a symbol of moderation. The analysis part led to the second result which is based on intertextuality. This theory tells us that religious scriptures are part of an intertextual chain, for example, the Quran incorporates certain elements from previous writings. The same applies to, for example, the Bible. The result of this is that the religious texts are based on each other which means that the number seven may have been mentioned in early texts as a sacred element and texts that came later on incorporated that theory.

L’objet de notre recherche est de définir la politique du Saint-Siège face à la « Question de Palestine », durant la période qui va de la Déclaration Balfour (1917) à la création de l’État d’Israël (1948). À ce moment précis de l’Histoire où les Britanniques s’apprêtent à recevoir de la Société des Nations un mandat plaçant la Palestine sous leur tutelle, la « renaissance » d’Israël pose à l’Église catholique un double problème. Sur le plan politique, les pressions des diplomaties arabes et de la Congrégation pour l’Église orientale empêchent toute ouverture vers la création d’un État hébreu, le Vatican redoutant que les chrétiens arabes n’en paient le prix. Sur le plan théologique, le retour du peuple juif sur la Terre de la promesse pose à l’Église une question inédite. Cette restauration temporelle ne démontre-t-elle pas en effet que l’Alliance entre Dieu et le peuple d’Israël reste valide ? Et si Israël demeure le peuple élu, quelle est la raison d’être de l’Église ? Si le christianisme est par essence universel, il n’est pas pour autant dissocié de l’Histoire, et notamment de celle du peuple d’Israël « dont le Christ est issu selon la chair » (Rm 9, 3-5). Il s’agit donc de comprendre le particulier enchevêtrement du temporel et du spirituel dans cette région tourmentée du monde qu’est le Proche-Orient
The object of this research is to define the policy of the Holy See faced with the “Palestinian Question” during the period dating from the Balfour Declaration (1917) to the creation of the State of Israel (1948). At the precise moment in history when the British received a mandate from the League of Nations placing Palestine under their tutelage, the “rebirth” of Israel posed a dual problem for the Catholic Church. On the political front, the pressures imposed by Arab diplomats and the powerful voice of the Congregation of Eastern Churches prevented any talk of creating a Jewish state, the Vatican's stance being that Christian Arabs should not pay the price for this. On the theological front, the return of the Jewish people to the Promised Land posed a new question for the Church. Did not this return prove that the relationship between God and the people of Israel was still valid ? If Israel remained the chosen people what would be the justification for the Church? If Christianity is essentially universal this does not disassociate it from its history, especially that of the people of Israel "of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came " (Rm 9: 3-5) It is therefore important to understand the particular overlap of politics and religion in this troubled region of the world which is the Middle East

Abstract:

Detta är en diskursanalytisk studie med ett antaget genusteoretiskt perspektiv, som undersöker hur kvinnor inom de abrahamitiska religionerna framställs i tre utvalda läromedel för gymnasiekursen religion 1. Samtliga av läromedlen är anpassade för lgy11. Vidare undersöks vilka egenskaper kvinnan tillskrivs, samt var hon synliggörs och marginaliseras i läromedlen. Genom det genusteoretiska perspektivet, vilket nyttjats för analysen av det empiriska resultatet kan vi både visa vad synliggörandet och marginaliseringen beror på, samt se vad det bidrar till. Studiens resultat visar att läromedlen genom ett genusteoretiskt perspektiv framställer kvinnan och mannen utifrån dikotoma föreställningar om vad som är kvinnligt respektive manligt. Kvinnan framställs således som passiv medan mannen framställs som aktiv. Resultatet visar även att kvinnan marginaliseras när det skrivs om religionens historia, medan hon synliggörs i de textsammanhang som berör hennes villkor, samt hem-och familjeliv. Nyckelord: Kvinnan, abrahamitiska religionerna, diskurs, genusteori, genus, läroboksanalys, marginalisering
This is a discourse-analytic study with an adopted gender theoretical perspective regarding how women within the Abrahamic religions are described in three selected teaching materials for upper secondary school (Religion 1). All books are adapted to Lgy11. Furthermore, an analysis is made of what way women are characterized in the material, as well as where they are visible and marginalized. With help from the gender theoretical perspective, which has been utilized to analyze the results of the empirical study, it is possible to understand the reasons for the visibility as well as the marginalization, and see what is contributes to. The result of this study shows that the teaching materials, through a gender theoretical perspective, depict men and women based on the dichotomy of what is considered female or male. Hence, women are described as passive, whereas men are described as active. The result also shows that women are marginalized when the history of religions is being described while they are visible in the textual contexts of home and family life, as well as their conditions. Key words: Women, Abrahamic religions, discourse, gender theory, gender, textbook analysis, marginalization

Abstract:

This article is about Abrahams Children foundation and its teaching method called IE- method. It’s about how a teacher can use the IE- method in the religion lesson. There were some questions in this article that had to be answered and the questions are:

- How is the form of the religion classes when a teacher uses the IE- method?

- What happens in the class when you study the interaction and the communication?

- Does the student’s participation increase when they work with the IE- method?

- What are the advantage and the disadvantage with the IE- method?

- Can the teacher use the IE- method in other classes?

To get to the “correct” answer I used many methods like, observation in the class, qualitative interview with the teacher (Lisa Andersson) and with four students (Kim, Erik, Amanda, Patrik) and I also used questionnaire. I studied some books that are about the IE- method. I studied even some articles about the IE- method. I took help from Hjalmar Sundén’s part theori.

The lessons begin with a teacher who is reading one story and then the children have to decide with character they want to write about and when they have wrote a text in an I- form they have to present their texts to everybody in the class.

The study showed that the children is having very fun with the IE- method and they like to study with this method because when they write their texts there is no right or wrong. That is because they are writing about their feelings and thoughts and no one can say that they have wrong thoughts. The teacher and the children feel that the have grown because when they are writing their texts and then have to argue about their opinion they write better texts.

Because the children have to argue about their opinion the interaction and the communication in the class is better. They all want to be heard from the other student’s and they all listen to each other. And because they are writing about their feelings everybody in the class participates.

The advantage with the IE- method is that it includes everybody and by that I mean that IE- method includes the biggest religions and most of the children have those religions and they are interested to find out more. The disadvantage with the IE- method is that it’s a complement to other theoretic methods and a teacher can not use the IE- method only. The other disadvantage is that sometimes the teacher forgets to talk about the differences between these religions because she is too cut up with the similarities.

A teacher can use the IE- method in other lessons like for example she can use it in a English lesson. She can correct the grammar in the texts and the language in the texts and when the children are arguing about their opinions.

Abstract:

This study examines primary school teachers approach towards the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The aim is to make a contribution to the academic discussion of the advantages and disadvantages when teachers emphasize differences or similarities between these religions. In addition, the study highlights the importance of religious education for the promotion of social unity. Also the topic of morality in a society, whether it can strengthen or not the consensus regarding fundamental values, norms and goals. The study is based on a survey of 22 questions in three key areas: Background facts, Lesson planning and teaching, alongside The importance of religion education for individuals and society. The survey was answered by 124 teachers of religion at primary school. Additionally five pedagogical plans from the same selection group have been studied. The results are both quantitative and qualitative. The study rests on the assertion that Abraham's children is a tool that can teach the common history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Previous research shows different positions using Abraham's children as a pedagogical concept. The vast majority amongst the participants of the study consider it to be of great importance to show the similarities of religions. As a result they also believe that it has the opportunity to promote social togetherness in a positive direction. Looking at the result through Émile Durheim's theory of social solidarity, this clarifies that an individual as a subject is not the same when part of a collective. Social development will arise when people gather as a group.
Denna studie undersöker hur lärare på låg- och mellanstadiet hanterar de abrahamitiska religionerna judendomen, kristendomen och islam. Syftet är att lämna ett bidrag till den vetenskapliga diskussionen om för- och nackdelar med att som lärare i religionskunskap främst betona olika religioners olikheter eller likheter. Dessutom belyser studien vilken betydelse religionsundervisningen kan få för främjandet av social sammanhållning och moraluppfattningen i ett samhälle. Det vill säga om den kan stärka samsynen kring grundläggande värden, normer och mål. Studien genomfördes främst med hjälp av en enkät. Denna innehöll 22 frågor uppdelade under de tre rubrikerna Bakgrundsfakta, Lektionsplanering och undervisning, samt Religionsundervisningens betydelse för individ och samhälle. Enkäten besvarades av 124 lärare i religionsämnet på låg- och mellanstadiet. Som komplement har fem pedagogiska planeringar från samma urvalsgrupp studerats. Resultaten är både kvantitativa och kvalitativa. Studien tar avstamp i uttrycket Abrahams barn som ett verktyg för att visa på judendomens, kristendomens och islams gemensamma historia. Inom tidigare forskning finns två konkurrerande uppfattningar om Abrahams barn som pedagogiskt koncept. De allra flesta som deltog i studien anser det vara av stor vikt att visa på religionernas likheter. Som en naturlig följd av detta anser de även att religionsämnet har stor möjlighet att främja den sociala sammanhållningen i positiv riktning. Genom att se resultatet genom Émile Durheims teori om social sammanhållning tydliggörs att en individ som solitär inte är densamma när den ingår i ett kollektiv. När människor samlas i grupp uppstår det sociala fenomen.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: THE SEARCH FOR THE GOD OF ABRAHAM TEXT AND HISTORY: THE FORMATION OF THE ABRAHAMIC DEITY Recent years have seen substantial changes in the study of ancient Israelite religion. These changes have created ample work for scholars of religious studies and related fields as virtually all disciplines have something to say about recent archaeological and scholarly developments concerning Yahwism and its early development. In this scholarly milieu, it is difficult to present anything that is wholly new, but certainly possible to enter a spirited discourse about ancient questions. To discuss the origins and evolution of the Abrahamic deity—as I shall—necessitates drawing from many disciplines because discussion of this deity pervades all discourses on ancient Israelite religion. Accordingly, I will draw from scholarly tools characteristic of the disciplines of history, linguistics, and archaeology. The bulk of my argument, however, will be centered around the biblical texts themselves. Though the historicity of these texts is highly suspect, they nevertheless provide valuable historical information that, if engaged with carefully, can aid in understanding the origin and evolution of one Yahweh of Canaan.

Abstract:

In the UK approximately 60% of deaths occur in acute hospital settings to people from different cultures and religions. This thesis explored the experiences of bereaved relatives from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths, doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants and religious leaders to explore the essences of bereavement and implications for providing religiously appropriate end of life and bereavement care in an acute hospital setting. Phenomenology provided the philosophical and intellectual framework and van Manen’s (1984) four existential dimensions of temporality, spatiality, corporeality, and communality the structure. Chronological story telling allowed exploration of the ‘lived’ experience of bereavement and demonstrated that current bereavement theories and practice are not always reflective of the diverse needs of a multifaith and multicultural population. Similarities and differences in the requirements of the 3 Abrahamic faiths became apparent through the experiences of all participants and the importance and significance of doing the right thing, at the right time for the right person in a sensitive and caring way was demonstrated. The impact of end of life care on the bereavement experience was palpable throughout participant recollections. The study highlighted education and training needs not only of hospital staff but of the general public and the need for a more holistic approach to bereavement theory, policy, practice and research.

Abstract:

The situation in the Letter to the Romans is one of dissension between Judean and gentile Christians. This dissension is deep seated because it occurs along the fault lines of Judean ethnic identity. Here, Judean Christians define their ethnic identity in terms of possessing the Mosaic law. Two factors aggravate this dissension. First, ethnic identity resists changes. Second, the audience is situated within the Mediterranean agonistic culture where honour is the most sought after limited good. This moves Judean Christians to use the Mosaic law to gain honour from gentile Christians. From a Judean emic perspective, the Mosaic law gains them righteousness. This righteousness is not only a social marker. More importantly, it is a socio-ethical construct that seeks to gain them honour in the eyes of the significant other, God. Consequently, gentile Christians are considered as inferior by Judean Christians. To alleviate this dissension, Paul uses the rhetoric of Abraham's trust (faith) that takes a two-pronged approach. He first undermines the Mosaic law as a means for Abraham to attain a worldwide fatherhood that makes Judeans Abraham's descendants. Paul next explains how trust in God gains Abraham a worldwide fatherhood so that both Judean and gentile Christians can become descendants of Abraham. In this way, Judean Christians' boast toward gentile Christians, and hence, dissension between these two groups are removed.

Abstract:

Denna uppsats syfte var att undersöka hur man i skolan arbetar med att lära ut om de gemensamma rötterna i de abrahamitiska religionerna. Hur kan de abrahamitiska religionernas gemensamma rötter vara en hjälp att främja en mångkulturell pedagogik och varför behövs en mångkulturell pedagogik? Jag har använt mig av en kvalitativ metod för att nå syftet med min uppsats. Där jag började med att göra litteraturstudier för att få en grund att stå på och vara bättre förberedd inför mina intervjuer. De gemensamma rötterna i de abrahamitiska religionerna är ett bra sätt att arbeta i skolan för att uppnå en mångkulturell pedagogik. Idag finns en brist på kunskap om kultur och religion som skapar missförstånd i mötet människor emellan. Den rätta kunskapen är till sådan stor hjälp och ökar elevers förståelse för mångfalden. En mångkulturell pedagogik går ut på att den enskilde eleven kan se sig själv i relation till andra och att anpassa undervisningen så att man får större insikt om sig själv genom en förmåga att se utifrån andra och andras kulturella perspektiv. Utbildningen ska påvisa att det inte finns ett rätt sätt att leva på, vilket leder till att utrymmet för tolerans, respekt och förståelse ökar. Detta kommer i sin tur att vidga normalitetens ramar och förståelsen för andra kulturer kommer att öppnas upp.

Nosso trabalho procurou pesquisar o conceito de consciência religiosa proposto por Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907 - 1972), em Deus em Busca do Homem, livro no qual o autor entende o pensamento religiioso como fonte de conhecimento e examina os diversos aspectos que objetivam o retorno à Religião. O livro é composto de três grandes temas: Deus, Revelação e Resposta. Esta pesquisa focalizou o primeiro tema que aborda a relação entre o desenvolvimento da consciência religiosa, Deus e o mundo. Nossa pesquisa foi guiada pela hipótese de que, em Heschel, há a possibilidade noética, ou seja, de conhecimento pela pela via da consciência religiosa. A relação da consciência religiosa e Deus se dá na abertura da consciência judaica ao Deus Abraâmico, que não se restringe ao povo judaico, mas que tem, na voz do Profeta, uma abrangência universal. Este conceito, para o autor, passa a existir na discussão da relação entre Deus e a condição humana, que se caracteriza pelas seguintes categorias: sublime, maravilhoso, temor, glória, mistério entre outras. Para Heschel, a consciência religiosa acontece no evento, isto é, no encontro do humano com a história sagrada, que trancende o tempo, supera a linha divisória do passado e do presente e se atualiza pela consciência do inefável. A religião e a consciência religiosa se dão no encontro da pergunta de Deus com a resposta do homem. Na consciência religiosa, abre-se o caminho para a fé e o caminho de fé. O caminho para Deus é um caminho de Deus. Se Deus não fizer a pergunta, todas as nossas indagações serão vãs. Procuramos apontar a categoria do inefável, legitimando sua aplicação à filosofia da religião judaica, como um parâmetro eficiente para o pensar situacional-filosófico a respeito do homem em sua relação com o outro, com o mundo e com Deus. Com base nesse pressuposto, podemos concluir que só há possibilidade de uma relação ética onde se encontra a consciência do inefável. Consciência de alteridade esta que possibilita o amor, ou seja, realmente ser capaz de olhar para o outro em toda sua singularidade e necessidade

Full text

Abstract:

Is the legal protection that is given to the expression of Abrahamic religious belief adequate or appropriate in the context of English medical law? This is the central question that is explored in the thesis. A framework to support judges in the resolution of contentious cases that involve dissension between religious belief and medical law is developed from Alan Gewirth’s Principle of Generic Consistency (PGC). This framework is applied to a number of medical law cases studies: the principle of double effect, ritual male circumcision, female genital mutilation, Jehovah’s Witnesses (adults and children) who refuse blood transfusions, and conscientious objection of healthcare professionals to abortion. The thesis also examines the legal and religious contexts in which these contentious cases are arbitrated. It demonstrates how human rights law and the proposed framework can provide a gauge to measure competing rights and apply legitimate limits to the expression of religious belief, where appropriate. Thus, the original and significant contribution to knowledge is the development of an evaluative framework and its application to distinct case studies. This leads to the conclusion, based upon a stance of principled pragmatism, that some aspects of current legal protections in English medical law require amendment.

Dans chacune des trois grandes religions sémitiques, se constitua un phénomène abrahamique différent. L’Abraham du Christianisme est l’archétype de l’homme qui s’approche de Dieu, sans la Torah, par une simple action de foi. Il est aussi un archétype du Christ, le canal de la bénédiction de Dieu à tous les peuples. L’Assemblée de Jacques, qui exprime le Christianisme le plus élémentaire, avait une tradition abrahamique toratique et croyait en Jésus Christ comme homme-prophète, ce sont les deux particularités des Honafā’ et des Homos de la Sīrah. L’Abraham du Judaïsme est un personnage honorable qui révère la Torah et la Loi de la Nature (Dīn al-Fitrah). L’Abraham de l’Islam est un Imām religieux et le chef d’une ’Oummah. L’Abraham de la Médine semble être un prophète arabe et « un musulman avant l’Islam. L’explication de cette énigme se trouve dans l’analyse de la stratégie politico-religieuse de Mohammad. Les sources des « Histoires d’Abraham » dans l’Islam sont vraisemblablement la littérature apocryphe juive. L’Islam foncier n’est que le Hanifisme. Les Honafā’ sont un groupe des Nassāra, une secte de Judéo-Chrétiens d’avant l’Islam. Abraham dans l’Islam est la figure du Sémitisme par excellence. Pour qu’il puisse être une plate-forme de dialogue religieux, il faut que l’Islam adopte les résultats de la Critique historique des son « texte sacré » et se réconcilie avec la laïcité
Mohammad inaugurated his mission by the proclamation of the Abrahamaic beliefs of the “Honafā'” in Mecca. Only at Medina, he introduced the "Islamic particularities". Then, polemic discussions with the “Nassāra” and armed confrontations against the Jews followed. In each of the three Monotheistic Semitic Religions, a different Abrahamaic Phenomenon was elaborated. Abraham of Christianity is the archetype of a man who comes to God, without the Torah, by a simple act of faith. He is also an archetype of Christ, the canal of God’s blessing to all the peoples. James' Assembly, that expresses the most elementary Christianity, had a Toratic Abrahamic Tradition, and believed in Jesus as a Prophet sent by God. These are two of the most important particularities of the “Honafā'” and the “Homos” of the Sīrah. Abraham of Judaism is an honorable person who respects the Torah and the Natural Law (Dīn al-Fitrah). Abraham of Islam is a religious “Imām” and an “'Oummah” Leader. Abraham of Medina seems to be an Arab Prophet and a "Muslim before Islam". The explanation of this enigma can be disclosed by the analysis of Mohammad Political and religious strategy. The sources of the Abrahamaic Stories in Islam are seemingly the apocryphal literature of the Jews. The elementary Islam is a new shape of “Hanifism”. The “Honafā'” are a group of “Nassāra”, a Jewish-Christian sect of before Islam Abraham of Islam is a Semitic figure par excellence. To be a Religious Dialogue Platform, Islam should adopt the results of the Historical Criticism applied on its Sacred Text, and be able to live in Secular Governance System

Abstract:

The Apocalypse of Abraham, a pseudepigraphon only extant in a fourteenth century Old Church Slavonic manuscript, has not received much attention from scholars of Ancient Judaism, due in part to a lack of readily available information regarding the history and transmission of the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha. This dissertation examines the historical context of these works with the aim of assessing the probability that they contain ancient Jewish material. The rest of the dissertation is focused on the Apocalypse of Abraham specifically, discussing its date and provenance, original language, probability that it comes from Essene circles, textual unity, and Christian interpolations. This includes treatments of the issue of free will, determinism, and predestination in the Apocalypse of Abraham as well as the methodological complexities in trying to distinguish between early Jewish and Christian works. It also provides an in-depth comparison of the Apocalypse of Abraham with 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch and takes up the question of the social setting for these texts based on relevant precedents set by recent scholars of midrash who seek to probe the “socio-cultural and historical situatedness” of midrashic texts. This discussion includes a survey of parallels between the content of the Apocalypse of Abraham and rabbinic literature to support the argument that a sharp distinction between apocalyptic ideas and what later became rabbinic tradition did not exist in the time between 70 and 135 C.E. Overall, this dissertation argues that the Apocalypse of Abraham is an early Jewish document written during the decades following the destruction of the Second Temple. While seeking to warn its readers of the dangers of idolatry in light of the apocalyptic judgment still to come, it also provides sustained exegesis of Genesis 15, which gives cohesion to the entire document.

Abstract:

This essay is about Abrahams children and its teaching method the IE- method. The purpose of this essay is to see what four teachers who use the method in their teaching think about it. To get an idea of how these teachers are working with the IE- method, I interviewed them. What are the pros and cons, is it a good way to teach religion? In addition, I look at how the IE- method follows the Lpo94 values and goals. I want in my study to answer these questions:

1. How is the IE- method used in the classroom?

2. Is it a good way to teach religion in substance? Can you use the IE- method in other school subjects?

3. What do the teachers think about the IE- method? The pros and cons?

4. Does the IE-method meets the requirements of Lpo94? About values and goals?

5. Is this a teaching method that I could work with in my future work as a teacher?

To get the answers to my questions, I have been using the interviews in addition to observations of the IE- method in a classroom. And I've also read books and essays on the IE method. The theories I am using is Hjalmar Sunden's role theory, Ulla Holm's empathy theory and Kieran Egan theory about teaching as storytelling. I have linked together these theories with the information I have received through the interviews and my observations.

With this study, I have been able to see how much the IE-method is popular among children and teachers who use it. The advantage of this method is that it includes all three Abrahamic religions, and among the students I have observed, this has been seen as something positive. The disadvantage with the IE- method is that if we as teachers are going to use it we should know our students very well, where the stories that can become very sensitive.

Abstract:

Religion has the ability to bring a diversity of people together in a way that crosses political, social, and economic boundaries, but divides them through conflicting worship practices, rituals, and teachings. This is especially true with the three Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The unique aspect to the Abrahamic religions is that they all claim Abraham as a common ancestor. Unfortunately, over the two millennia since the founding of these religions, interpretations of each religious text has drastically divided the three religions. Guy Stroumsa, Professor Emeritus of the Study of Abrahamic Religions at the University of Oxford, states that after such a long time the "Jewish Avraham is no more the Christian Abraham than the latter is the Islamic Ibrahim… and there is more than one Jewish (or Christian, or Muslim) Abraham." This project is designed to create a multi-faith building that crosses the religious divides in the Abrahamic faiths and encourages inter-faith dialogue by looking at commonly used ritualistic items. Three basic items - water, a meal, and the scripture – all hold reverence in all three religions, but each religion has its own unique rituals and traditions surrounding them. This building attempts to express the similarities and differences through the built environment in a way that increases communication and understanding between the religions and the surrounding community.

Religions divide people. Architecture brings people together. Can architecture help bridge the divide between religions? This project is designed to create a multi-faith building that crosses the religious divides in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and encourages inter-faith dialogue between them by looking at three commonly used sacred items and their rituals and traditions.

Abstract:

Cette étude traite des aspects religieux, éthiques et politiques de l'oeuvre d'Abraham A Sancta Clara, prédicateur à Vienne sous le règne de Léopold 1er. Son enseignement religieux perpétue la tradition apologétique de la Contre Réforme, privilégiant la dévotion mariale et le culte des saints. Mais on décèle également la volonté de diffuser les themes de la "pietas austriaca", aux nettes implications politiques. Ses conceptions morales sont influencées par la tradition du mépris du monde. Il dénonce les travers de ses contemporains, mais ses observations corroborent largement des lieux communs. Parallèlement, il présente une éthique sociale. Mettant la societe en correspondance avec l'ordre divin, il prône le respect des principes de division des taches et de hiérarchie. Sa conception des rapports sociaux est sotériologique. Sous l'influence du néo-stoicisme, il glorifie le martyr, image idéale du chrétien. Une dimension politique est inhérente à sa prédication. Patriote, il exalte les vertus des allemands et met en garde contre les influences étrangeres. Il appelle à la lutte contre les turcs. En tant que propagandiste, il célèbre la maison d'Autriche, assimilant Léopold 1er a Saint Léopold, et désigne l'Autriche comme la nation élue de la Nouvelle Alliance
This study deals with the religious, ethical and political aspects of the work of abraham a sancta clara, a preacher in vienna under leopold i. His religious teaching maintains the apologetic tradition of the counter-reformation, favouring the practice of marian devotion, and the cult of saints. However one also detects a willingness to diffuse the themes of the "pietas austriaca", with clear political implications. His moral conceptions are influenced by the tradition of contempt for the world. He denounces the faults of his contemporaries, but his observations largely reinforce commonplaces. Simultaneously, he presents a social ethic. By putting society in agreement with sacred order, he extols respect for the principles of the division of tasks and hierarchy. His conception of social relations is soteriological. Under the influence of neo-stoicism, he glorifies the martyr, the ideal image of the christian. A political dimension is inherent in his preaching. A patriot, he exalts the virtues of the germans and is on guard against foreign influences. He calls for the fight against the turks. As a propagandist, he praises the austrian dynasty, comparing Leopold i to Saint Leopold, and he designates austria the chosen nation of the new alliance

Abstract:

The terms of socialization have changed with the development of society. Today’s modernity acts as cause for change and technology is no exception. When society change, the context of our lives does as well, and today’s transformation seem to affect young people at a larger rate than it did for older generations. This report aims to investigate the didactic potential of video games by using an ethnographic perspective on how religious symbols and religious symbolism is portrayed and exposed in a digital format. By investigating the occurrences of these aspects in popular videogames with sales over 10 millions, and analyzing the findings through literature and scientific methodologies, the paper could conclude that the videogames God of War, Assassin’s Creed and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations held a didactic potential in the aspect of contributing to the students’ own self-chosen educational process. While acting as motivational means, videogames could result in a boost affecting the motivation within young students in the learning-process that further on is affirmed in an educational environment. By taking advantage of a process the student has already chosen of its own free will, the pedagogic behind the theory may then be able to affirm and reinforce the foundation on which certain knowledge stands. Earlier studies showed that the motivational aspect of video games in education has a strong connection to young students today and the self-chosen learning-process has an important role to play in the potential video games pose in further usage in an educational context.

Abstract:

This thesis examines how women negotiate their identification within and as a group when engaging in interreligious dialogue. It is an in-depth case study of the women’s interfaith book groups, the Daughters of Abraham, located in the Greater Boston Area. This focus facilitates an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of relationships within one group, between different groups, and as situated in the American sociocultural context. I explore the tensions arising from religious diversity, and the consequences of participating in an interreligious dialogue group for understandings of religious self and others. Categories such as boundary, power, sameness, difference, self and other serve to explore the complexities and fluidity of identity constructions. I answer the following questions: How do members of the Daughters of Abraham engage with the group’s religious diversity? How does their participation in the Daughters of Abraham affect their self-understanding and understanding of the “other?” What can we learn about power dynamics and boundary drawing from the women’s accounts of their participation in the Daughters of Abraham and from their group interactions? Two interrelated arguments guide this thesis. One, I show that Daughters members arrive at complex and fluid understandings of what it means to identify as an American Jewish, Christian, and Muslim woman by negotiating various power dynamics arising from ideas of sameness and difference of religion, gender, and sociopolitical values. Two, I contend that the collective emphasis on commonalities in the Daughters of Abraham is a double-edged sword. Explicitly, this stress intends to encourage engagement with the group’s religious diversity by excluding those deemed too different. However, whilst this emphasis can generate nuanced understandings of religious identity categories, at times it highlights differences detrimental to facilitating such understanding. Moreover, this stress on commonalities illuminates the power dynamics and tensions characterizing this women’s interfaith book group. Scholarship has by and large overlooked women’s interreligious engagements with explicit ethnographic studies of such being virtually non-existent. This thesis addresses this gap by using ethnographic methods to advance knowledge about women’s interreligious dialogue. Furthermore, it pushes disciplinary discourses by speaking to the following interlinked areas: Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations, formalized interreligious dialogue, interreligious encounters on the grassroots level, women’s interreligious dialogue, a book group approach to engaging with religious diversity, and interreligious encounters in the American context post-September 11th 2001.

Abstract:

Studiens syfte är att genom en kvantitativ innehållsanalys ge svar på vilka artikeltyper och nyhetssammanhang som oftast förekommer för judendom, kristendom och islam – de tre abrahamitiska religionerna – i tidningarna Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) och Sydsvenskan (SDS) för perioderna april 2002, oktober 2002 och motsvarande för 2012. För att nå ökad förståelse för resultatet av den kvantitativa innehållsanalysen har intervjuer genomförts med en ledarskribent från vardera tidning samt med en representant från vardera religion. De intervjuade har bland annat fått ge sin uppfattning kring hur religionsnyheter ser ut idag jämfört med tio år sedan. Den kvantitativa studien består av 283 analyserade artiklar, av vilka 118 behandlar islam, 109 kristendom och 56 judendom. Kristendom dominerar för inrikesnyheterna och islam för utrikesnyheterna. Inom de inrikesartiklar som berör islam dominerar sammanhanget diskriminering, medan kultur och antisemitism utmärkte kristendom respektive judendom. För samtliga religioner är de dominerande sammanhangen för utrikesartiklarna annat och krig eller konflikt. I båda kategorier dominerar islam. De största skillnaderna åren emellan är antalet artiklar om Israel-Palestina-konflikten samt förekomsten av artiklar som rör antisemitism. Analyserat utifrån tidigare forskning och nyhetsvärderingsteorier tyder resultatet på att religiösa händelser är svåra att göra nyheter av, varför religionerna, och då särskilt islam och judendom, ofta förekommer i konfliktcentrerade nyheter – något även många av de intervjuade håller med om.

This research proposes to read Abraham Joshua Heschel's concept of selfdiscernment, compared to justice in the biblical prophets, as a proposal of humanization of men and women in modernity from the Jewish perspective. The hypothesis of this research is based on the proposition that the concept of heschelian self-discernment as a critique of the indiscernible processes of modernity can be interpreted in the light of the concept of justice in the biblical prophets taking into account the different historical contexts. Therefore, Heschel's concept of selfdiscernment will be analyzed by confronting it with modernity, considering the importance of the prophets in the process of humanization. The study was divided into three chapters. The first chapter is an introduction to some significant aspects of the life and work of Abraham Joshua Heschel. The second is a journey where justice is explored in the biblical prophets and how they behave when confronted with the injustices of their time. In the third, the contributions that Heschel's self-discernment and justice in the prophets can provide for the present days. In this way, it is possible to demonstrate that this investigation is of great magnitude in the understanding of the crisis of values that has struck the world and that has progressively removed the individual from his divine image and the transcendental experience in our day and that, through self-discernment, which generates a just action, man can become humanized.
Esta pesquisa se propõe a fazer uma leitura do conceito de autodiscernimento de Abraham Joshua Heschel, em comparação com a justiça nos profetas bíblicos, como proposta de humanização de homens e mulheres na modernidade, a partir da visão judaica. A hipótese desta pesquisa baseia-se na proposição de que o conceito de autodiscernimento hescheliano enquanto crítica aos processos indiscernidos da modernidade pode ser interpretado à luz do conceito de justiça nos profetas bíblicos levando em conta os diferentes contextos históricos. Portanto, será analisado o conceito de autodiscernimento de Heschel confrontando-o com a modernidade, considerando a importância dos profetas no processo de humanização. Para tanto, o estudo foi dividido em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo é uma introdução a alguns aspectos significantes da vida e da obra de Abraham Joshua Heschel. O segundo é uma jornada onde se explora a justiça nos profetas bíblicos e como eles se portavam ao serem confrontados com as injustiças do seu tempo. No terceiro, as contribuições que o autodiscernimento hescheliano e a justiça nos profetas podem fornecer para os dias atuais. Nesse percurso, é possível demonstrar que esta investigação é de notável magnitude na compreensão da crise de valores que se abateu sobre o mundo e que tem afastado o indivíduo, de maneira progressiva, da sua imagem divina e da experiência transcendental em nossos dias, e que, por meio do autodiscernimento, que gera uma ação justa, o homem pode humanizar-se.

The present dissertation aims to analyze the relationship between faith and existence in the opus Fear and Trembling, by the danish thinker S?ren Aabye Kierkegaard, present in the Problemata section. Written under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio, it is a compliment to the faith of the biblical patriarch Abraham, especially that presented in the Scripture account of the proof to which God submitted him: the request that he sacrifice his son Isaac. In order to do so, the contextualization of the author's thinking in Fear and Trembling was first carried out. The identification of relevant events in his biography and the summary of his literary work showed that Kierkegaard called himself a religious author, whose reflection was aimed at understanding existence and the christian being. The Lutheran state church and the Lutheran pietist movement formed the cultural-religious milieu in which the Danish author was formed, both influencing his thinking and composing the background of his reflections in the opus under investigation. Theology, philosophy, ecclesiastical practice, and Christianity of his time were criticized by him. In Fear and Trembling, these were elaborated by arguments referring to the theological-philosophical conceptions of Lutheranism-Pietism, Kant, the liberal theology and Romanticism of Schleiermacher, Hamann and, especially, Hegel. The Problemata, central to Kierkegaard's opus and arguments, is composed of three chapters, which present the ethical problems derived from Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, titled: "Is there a teleological suspension of the ethical?, "Is there an absolute duty to God?" and "Has it been ethically defensible on the part of Abraham to have kept silent about his purpose before Sarah, Elieser, and Isaac??. The interpretation of the text allowed the conclusion that, in Fear and Trembling, reason is unable to explain Abraham, for ethics can not justify his attitude. Faith is the category through which the patriarch can be understood, paradoxically related to existence and occurs as a passion, in function of the absurd; part from the resignation before the infinite, in a double movement which returns to the finite to receive Isaac back. The Problemata also presents other categories, associated with the faith of Abraham, among which were identified and analyzed ethics, anxiety, trial, repetition, individuality and subjectivity. The presence of these categories in the patriarch's existence demonstrated a faith that occurs as interiority and is not limited to ethics. In order to obtain a greater breadth in the analysis of faith and the other categories, these were correlated with two other literary productions of Kierkegaard, in which they are present in different conceptual levels, namely, The repetition and The concept of anxiety. As a result, Abraham's faith proved to be a suprarational instance of thought and religious experience, from the phenomenological perspective, of openness to transcendence and belief in divine providence, seeking to overcome the limitations of existence. In addition, the faith presented in Fear and Trembling suggests unfolding of individual religious manifestation today, a "non-religious faith" unrelated to religious dogmas and institutional ecclesiastical authority, lived in the interior as an existential relationship with God.
A presente disserta??o tem por objetivo analisar a rela??o f? e exist?ncia na obra Temor e tremor, do pensador dinamarqu?s S?ren Aabye Kierkegaard, presente na se??o Problemata. Escrita sob o pseud?nimo Johannes de Silentio, ? um elogio ? f? do patriarca b?blico Abra?o, especialmente a apresentada na narra??o das Escrituras sobre a prova ? qual Deus submeteu-o: o pedido de que sacrificasse o filho Isaac. Para tanto, foi realizada primeiramente a contextualiza??o do pensamento do autor em Temor e tremor. A identifica??o de acontecimentos relevantes em sua biografia e do resumo de sua obra liter?ria evidenciou que Kierkegaard denominou-se um autor religioso, cuja reflex?o visava ? compreens?o da exist?ncia e do ser crist?o. A Igreja Luterana estatal e o movimento pietista luterano formaram o ambiente cultural-religioso em que o autor dinamarqu?s fora criado, os quais tanto influenciaram seu pensamento, quanto compuseram o pano de fundo de suas reflex?es na obra pesquisada. A teologia, a filosofia, a pr?tica eclesi?stica e o cristianismo de sua ?poca foram alvo de suas cr?ticas. Em Temor e tremor, estas foram elaboradas por argumentos referidos ?s concep??es teol?gico-filos?ficas do luteranismopietismo, de Kant, da teologia liberal e do romantismo de Schleiermacher, Hamann e, especialmente, de Hegel. A Problemata, parte central da obra e da argumenta??o de Kierkegaard, ? composta por tr?s cap?tulos, que apresentam os problemas ?ticos derivados da disposi??o de Abra?o em sacrificar Isaac, intitulados: ?Haver? uma suspens?o teleol?gica do ?tico??, ?Haver? um dever absoluto para com Deus?? e ?Ter? sido eticamente defens?vel da parte de Abra?o ter mantido sil?ncio sobre o seu prop?sito perante Sara, Elieser e Isaac??. A interpreta??o do texto permitiu a conclus?o de que, em Temor e tremor, a raz?o ? incapaz de explicar Abra?o, pois a ?tica n?o pode justificar sua atitude. A f? ? a categoria pela qual se pode compreender o patriarca, paradoxalmente relacionada ? exist?ncia e que ocorre como paix?o, em fun??o do absurdo; parte da resigna??o diante do infinito em um duplo movimento, que volta ao finito para receber Isaac de volta. A Problemata apresenta tamb?m outras categorias, associadas ? f? de Abra?o, dentre as quais foram identificadas e analisadas ?tica, ang?stia, prova??o, repeti??o, individualidade e subjetividade. A presen?a dessas categorias na exist?ncia do patriarca demonstrou uma f? que ocorre como interioridade e n?o est? limitada ? ?tica. Para a obten??o de uma maior amplitude na an?lise da f? e das demais categorias, estas foram correlacionadas com outras duas produ??es liter?rias de Kierkegaard, nas quais est?o presentes em diferentes n?veis conceituais, a saber, A repeti??o e O conceito de ang?stia. Em decorr?ncia, a f? de Abra?o mostrou-se como inst?ncia suprarracional do pensamento e experi?ncia religiosa, sob a perspectiva fenomenol?gica, de abertura ? transcend?ncia e cren?a na provid?ncia divina, em busca da supera??o das limita??es da exist?ncia. Ademais, a f? apresentada em Temor e tremor sugere desdobramentos quanto ? manifesta??o religiosa individual na atualidade, uma ?f? n?o religiosa? desvinculada dos dogmas religiosos e da autoridade eclesi?stica institucional, e vivida na interioridade como rela??o existencial com Deus.

Abstract:

Dans la première moitié de l’époque moderne, période de troubles politiques et religieux ainsi que de découvertes géographiques ouvrant de nouveaux débouchés commerciaux, la question du chapeau et des autres couvre-chefs est abordée sur les plans technique, commerciaux, à la fois dans la capitale, à la Cour, dans le royaume et à l’étranger, esthétiques avec l’évolution des formes et des décors (broderies, panaches, enseignes) mais aussi sociaux (manières et fonctions de leur port). Ce commerce, transformé par le castor et l’obligation sociale du port d’un couvre-chef, dans le contexte particulier du Paris de l’époque, a un impact fort sur l’évolution des fortunes des chapeliers de la ville et sur les garde-robes des Parisiens et des gens de la Cour. Sans vestige archéologique, les informations, éparses, se trouvent par exemple chez les moralisateurs et les auteurs de l’époque, chez des graveurs français tel qu’Abraham Bosse, chez des peintres flamands comme Jan Miense Molenaer, ou dans les archives judiciaires, comme possibles motifs demeurtres. Loin de n’être qu’un accessoire vestimentaire, le couvre-chef à l’époque moderne est un élément essentiel dans la définition de l’humanité d’un individu et de sa sociabilité : c’est par lui qu’il indique son appartenance nationale, son âge, sa fortune, son métier, son rang social ou sa maîtrise des codes de civilité, notamment par rapport à l’institution médiévale du salut. Cette importance du couvre-chef est remise en cause sur les plans politique et religieux par les Protestants mais aussi par la découverte de nouvelles sociétés dont le rapport au vêtement relativise l’approche européenne traditionnelle
In the first half of the early modern period, time of political and religious troubles, and of great geographical discoveries that opened new trade opportunities, we approached the subject of hat and headdresses history in their technical, commercial (in the capital, the Court, the kingdom and abroad), esthetical (evolutions of forms, embroideries, feathers, hat badges) and social ways (manners and signification of wearing them). In the peculiar Parisian context of this period, this trade, changed by the apparition of beaver and the social obligation to have everybody’s head covered, has a deep impact not only on the evolution of the Parisian hatters’ wealth but also on Parisians’ and Courtiers’ wardrobes themselves. Without headdresses preserved, details about them are scattered in documentary sources: for example, we can find them in the writings of authors and moralizing people, in engravings of French people like Abraham Bosse, in works of Flemish painters like Jan Miense Molenaer, but also in criminal archives where they can be sometimes even motives of murder! Far from just being clothing accessories, headdresses in the early modern period are essential to socialize and characterize human beings: through them, we can grasp national identity, age, wealth, profession, social status and knowledge of civility rules (especially to raisesomebody’s cap to someone, a tradition established from medieval times). Also, at that time, their importance is reconsidered because of the challenge by the Protestants about their social significance and by the discovery of new societies with other relation to clothes, which put the traditional and European approach into perspective

Abstract:

Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka området personlig utveckling samt personlig avveckling utifrån Sri Nisargadatta Maharajs lära och Abraham Maslows idéer. Frågeställningarna på området var: Är personlig utveckling och personlig avveckling motsatta eller identiska företeelser? Vilka likheter och skillnader finns hos Maharaj och hos Maslow? Vad har språket och dess användning för roll vid en jämförelse av dessa personers texter? De avgränsningar som gjordes för att undersöka området var att välja rörelserna humanistisk psykologi och advaita vedanta eftersom de upplevdes representera detta område på ett centralt sätt. Vidare avgränsades undersökningens metodval till diskursanalys med fokus på hur självförverkligande framställs diskursivt hos Abraham Maslow och Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Metoden var diskursanalys med stöd av metodboken Diskursanalys, och materialet koncentrerades till att omfatta Sri Nisargadatta Maharajs verk I am that: talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj samt Abraham Maslows två verk Motivation and personality samt Toward a psychology of being. Den teori som anlades var fenomenologiskt perspektiv. Undersökningen visade att personliga omständigheter, tradition, olika perspektiv men även språkanvändning kan påverka hur man ser på och talar om kategorierna personlig utveckling respektive personlig avveckling. Slutsatsen efter undersökningen är att oavsett vilka termer man använder kommer både personlig utveckling och personlig avveckling vara aktuellt överallt där de grundläggande behoven för människan är tryggade: hur är upp till henne själv.

Abstract:

Abraham Maïmonide occupe une place aussi fondamentale que paradoxale au sein du Judaïsme médiéval. Dans le sillage de Moïse Maïmonide, il se verra conférer le titre de Raîs al-Yahûd (autorité suprême des diasporas égyptiennes) et élaborera une œuvre magistrale de décisionnaire. Par ailleurs, et sans renier d'un seul iota le théocentrisme de son père, il fut le maître à penser d'une confrérie d'ascètes qui tentèrent la synthèse entre mystique musulmane et piétisme rabbinique. Dans le cadre de cette recherche, nous avons essayé de reconstituer l'univers spirituel où a pu naître ce projet singulier et cherché à identifier la nature des emprunts doctrinaux à la théologie musulmane, au soufisme, au rationalisme et au rabbinisme traditionnel. Nous proposons une étude préliminaire de la somme éthico-mystique et législative en dix tomes que constitue son Compendium du dévot, ainsi qu'une traduction annotée du fragment en judéo-arabe qui traite de la voie piétiste. Rabbi Abraham Maïmonide engage son lecteur sur une voie initiatique le long de laquelle, à l'intellectualisme maïmonidéen, il associe un impératif ascétique et une exigence de connaissance intuitive qui, au terme d'un intense parcours spirituel, mènent à un attachement au divin. Celui-ci implique notamment un élan intérieur de néantisation du moi permettant au sujet d'accéder à l'état de servant-Dieu
In the medieval jewish landscape, Abraham Maïmonide holds a unique and paradoxical position. Succeeding Moses Maimonides, he was offered the honorary title of Raîs al-Yahûd (head of theocentrism, he was the theoretician of an ascetic brotherhood that attempted a synthesis between muslim. In our research, we tried to reconstruct the spiritual environment where such a singular project emerged, and we looked to identify the doctrinal " borrowings " from islamic theology, sufism, rationalism and traditionnal rabbinism. Combining Maimonidean intellectualism with an ascetical programm and a requirement of intuitive consciousness, Rabbi Abraham Maimonides guides the reader, through an intensive spiritual journey, toward adhesion to God. Aspiring to become a God-Servant, the devout will have to go through a path involving nihilation of the self. This work testifies to a courageous theological project inside the annals of Judaism, and even within the history of religions ; when incorporating multiple sufi notions, our author, indeed, claims to take back primordial hebrew traditions, lost during the jewish tribulations, which are then re-actualized by spiritual masters of Islam

Abstract:

While few would deny America is the most powerful nation on earth, there is considerable debate, and controversy, over how America uses its foreign policy power. This is even truer since the “unipolar moment,” when America gained sole superpower status with the end of the Soviet Union and the Cold War. In the Cold War Reinhold Niebuhr was the main theological voice speaking to American power. In the Unipolar world, the Religious right emerged as the main theological voice, but instead of seeking to curb American power the Religious right embraced Neoconservatism in what I will call “Totemic Conservatism” to support use of America's power in the world and to triumph Manifest destiny in American foreign policy, which is the notion that America is a chosen nation, and this legitimizes its use of power and underpins its moral claims. I critique the Niebuhrian and Religious right legacies, and offer a classical realist strategy for theology to speak to America power and foreign policy, which avoids the neoconservative and religious conservative error of totemism, while avoiding the jettisoning of Niebuhr's theology by political liberals, and, the political ghettoizing of theology by his chief critics. This strategy is based on embracing the understanding of classical realism, but not taking the next step, which both Niebuhr and neoconservativism ultimately do, of moving from a prescriptive to a predictive strategy for American foreign policy. In this thesis, I argue that in the wake of the unipolar moment the embrace of the Religious right of Neoconservatism to triumph Manifest destiny in American foreign policy is a problematic commingling of faith and politics, and what is needed instead is a strategy of speaking to power rooted in classical realism but one which refines Niebuhrian realism to avoid the risk of progressing a Constantinian theology.

This research was developed in the field of Psychology of Religion and sought to investigate the theoretical foundations of Humanistic Psychology and Transpersonal Psychology and their conceptions and considerations on the concept of spirituality. The humanistic school, a precursor of transpersonal psychology, presented a theory of spirituality fitted full of references to the transcendent, the urge to self-realization and self-actualization, to metaneeds and to peak experiences. However, it was up to the task of transpersonal psychology extend this framework further. This school studies altered states of consciousness and its applications, becoming the first psychological approach to expressly assume that humans have a spiritual dimension. Introduce new concepts like cosmic consciousness, ultimate values, mystical experience, sacredness of life, experience of Unity, responsiveness and maximum sensory awareness. Express a spirituality devoid of organized religion and an anthropological concept of searching for meaning, self-transcendence, supreme values and the search for unity with the cosmos
A presente pesquisa se desenvolveu no campo da Psicologia da Religião e buscou investigar nas bases teóricas da Psicologia Humanista e da Psicologia Transpessoal, as suas concepções e considerações sobre o conceito de espiritualidade. A escola humanista, a precursora da Psicologia Transpessoal, apresentou uma teoria munida de espiritualidade, repleta de referências ao transcendente, ao impulso de autorrealização e autoatualização, às metanecessidadese e às experiências culminantes. Entretanto, coube à Psicologia Transpessoal, a tarefa de ampliar ainda mais este quadro. Trata-se de a escola que estuda os estados alterados de consciência e suas aplicações e concretizando-se como a primeira abordagem psicológica a assumir expressamente que o ser humano possui uma dimensão espiritual. Introduz novos conceitos como consciência cósmica, valores últimos, experiência mística, sacralização da vida, experiência de unidade, responsividade e consciência sensorial máxima. Expressa uma espiritualidade destituída de religião organizada e com uma concepção antropológica de busca de sentido, de autotranscendência, de valores supremos e de busca pela unidade com o cosmo

Trick, Bradley R. "Sons, Seed, and Children of Promise in Galatians: Discerning the Coherence in Paul's Model of Abrahamic Descent." Diss., 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10161/2271.

Full text

Abstract:

The central portion of Paul's letter to the Galatians consists of three main arguments, each of which invokes a different image of Abrahamic descent: sons (3:7) in 3:6-14, seed (3:16, 29) in 3:15-4:11, and children of promise (4:28) in 4:21-5:1. Current interpretations of these Abrahamic appeals typically portray them as logically problematical, collectively inconsistent, and/or generally unpersuasive, a situation that then leads most scholars to identify them as ad hoc responses to the Galatian agitators. This inability to find a coherent model of Abrahamic descent in Galatians, however, threatens to undermine the very gospel itself by suggesting that it cannot effectively counter a Judaizing call that derives from a simple appeal to Abraham.

This dissertation argues that Paul does indeed present the Galatians with a coherent account of Abrahamic descent that accords with his persuasive intent of refuting a law-based circumcision. Its key insight lies in the suggestion that Paul understands the Abrahamic diatheke in 3:15-18 as akin to a Hellenistic adoptive testament. As a result, the promised Abrahamic seed must be both a son of Abraham and, because of Abraham's divine adoption through the diatheke, a son of God, hence Paul's identification of Christ as Abraham's sole seed (3:16).

This twofold nature of the Abrahamic seed then suggests a distinction in Paul's other terms for Abrahamic descent. The dissertation accordingly contends that "sons of Abraham" in 3:7 designates, as it typically did in the mid-first century C.E., the Jews, i.e., those physical descendants of Abraham who also share his faith. In contrast, "children of promise" in 4:28 designates gentiles who have through faith received the Abrahamic blessing, i.e., the Spirit of sonship that makes them children of God. Each group thus requires incorporation into Christ to establish their status as Abrahamic seed: the Jews so that they might share in the gentiles' divine sonship, the gentiles so that they might share in the Jews' Abrahamic sonship. This interdependent union of the Jewish sons of Abraham and the gentile sons of God in Christ then constitutes the single divine Abrahamic seed who inherits (3:29).

Paul employs this model to refute the necessity of law observance as follows. In 3:6-14, he argues that Christ's accursed death on the cross divides faith from law observance as a means of justification for Jews; the full sons of Abraham accordingly become those Jews who, by dying to the law and embracing Christ, exhibit the same radical trust in God as their forefather exhibited. In 3:15-4:11, he argues that God added the law and its curse to ensure that the Jews could not receive the Abrahamic blessing promised to the nations--i.e., the Spirit that would make the Jews sons of God and, thus, Abrahamic seed--apart from the one seed, Christ. Finally, in 4:21-5:1, he argues that, like Hagar, the non-adoptive Sinaitic diatheke produces Abrahamic descendants (i.e., non-Christian Jews) who share the general human enslavement to the stoicheia, whereas the adoptive Abrahamic diatheke produces Abrahamic descendants (i.e., Christian Jews) whose divine adoption frees them from this enslavement. Each appeal to Abraham thus undermines the gentile Christians' motivation for submitting to the law by demonstrating that Jewish Christians do not even remain under the law.

Abstract:

A tragic massacre in May 1921, commonly referred to as the Bulhoek Massacre, was associated with the ecclesiology of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, founded by Enoch Mgijima. If it were not for the theology of eschatology that this church adhered to, the so-called Bulhoek Massacre would not have happened. The theology of eschatology which Mgijima was focussing on caused the ecclesiology of the amaSirayeli to be the victims of the circumstances. Dulles defines ecclesiology as the church in the process of self actualisation. There is self understanding of worshippers. In the case of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, such self-understanding caused the Bulhoek Massacre. It is said that when people fervently believe in an Ultimate Being, whether such belief is a construction in their minds or a reality, then those people will be willing to defend their belief and die for, if it needs to be. For such a believer, it is because of the hope for a better life in the future that they are willing to even defy earthly authorities. When that believer follows a voice of the supernatural, which is revealed only to him and sounds much louder, much clearer and more authoritative than human voices, it is then that he cannot be void. Such an authoritative voice may be transmitted either through ancestors, known as the living dead, or directly from the Supreme Being. In the case of the said church, it is both. Secondly, an ecclesiology of the Church of God and Saints of Christ should be understood in the light of their mother church in America under the leadership of Crowdy the founder. Such ecclesiology should also be understood against the religious backdrop of the African Initiated Churches (AIC). These two factors, the mother church in America and the religion of the African Initiated Churches, will be the main components that drive this thesis, and thus illuminate the spark in the said church. Owing to the proliferation of the African Initiated Churches in the continent of Africa, there is a wide speculation that Africa, of the 21st century, will be the centre of World Christianity. Whether this is just a dream or a reality remains to be realized. But the fact remains that, these churches continue to be a religious force that forms part of the church history in Africa. While this thesis will constantly be referring to the 1921 events, an ecclesiology of the said church is a present phenomenon because the church survived the massacre and is still active today. The two researchers, Robert Edgar from Los Angeles University in the USA, and Martin Mandew from the University of Natal, completed their doctoral theses on the Bulhoek Massacre. Edgar was researching on, The Fifth Seal. Enoch Mgijima, The amaSirayeli Bulhoek Massacre, 1921. Mandew concentrated on, War, Memory and Salvation, The Bulhoek Massacre and the Construction of a Contextual Soteriology. Since both researchers come from a distance, and are unable to speak the language of the people they were researching, there were of obviously unfilled gaps in between. As mentioned about cultural differences, therefore, knowing the language of the worshippers makes a big difference. There needs some analysis of idiomatic expressions, enunciated and other formal and informal expressions that tend to be important during communication. However, I acknowledge their research programme but I will go further from their product. This thesis examines the ecclesiology of this church and then relates it to the massacre where they were killed for their own beliefs. It is also important to analyse, as this thesis does, the church-state relations in South Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in order to establish how other religious bodies related to the governments of the said period.
