Abstract:

In this thesis I provide a study of the distinct traditions within the Pāñcarātra, concentrating especially on the ways in which these traditions’ identities were formed by their textual allegiances. In Chapter One, I show that the so-called “three jewels” of the Pāñcarātra scriptural canon were actually only considered as such by a minority of Pāñcarātrikas, and that this tradition arose much later than is commonly supposed. In Chapter Two I undertake a historical survey of the different groups within the Pāñcarātra as they are presented in the textual sources. In Chapter Three I argue that t

Bibliography: leaves 124-133.<br>This thesis, Intrinsic Patterns in the History of Religious Change from early Hindu Traditions to contemporary Mahayana Buddhism: an Application of Cumpsty's Theory of Religion, is an application of a comprehensive theory of religion to a broad sweep of religious history and diversity. It follows development from the Indian sub-continent to Japan, and to the West. It covers the period from about 500BCE to the present. As such, it assumes in the reader some background in theory of religion, and John Cumpsty's theory in particular, as well as some knowledge of th

Abstract:

The Dinkidi Cu-Au porphyry deposit is located in northern Luzon, Philippines. The 110 Mt deposit is characterised by high gold grades (ave. 1.2 g/t Au and 0.5% Cu) and is one of only a few alkaline porphyry deposits to have been discovered outside British Columbia. Alkaline magmatism in northern Luzon is related to the Late Oligocene rifting event that formed the Cagayan Valley Basin, and to the final stages of west-directed subduction along the East Luzon trench. Subalkaline andesitic and trachytic lavas and minor volcaniclastic rocks of the Mamparang Formation were emplaced along the southw

Abstract:

The thesis is based on fieldwork carried out in the Tzeltal community of Tenejapa. It is concerned primarily with the practices of the "traditional" religion, which is part of a so-called cargo system. The practices are that aspect of the lives of the traditionalists that they conceive of as being the most unchanging in an environment that is otherwise altering rather rapidly. All that is considered to be part of the habitus of tradition and in particular their religion tends to be classified by the term "stalel" and to have a particular ethos.

Abstract:

A maritime, rather than agricultural, foundation for civilization has been postulated for the central coast of Perú; the model has been subsequently modified in light of new evidence to include exchange with farming communities in middle valleys. A key question is what caused the sudden appearance of sites with monumental architecture before the introduction of ceramics on the central Andean coast? Recent reports call for further refinement of this hypothesis, and here we present new evidence —the finding of very ancient calendaric temples, ushnus that were observatories in the Chillón Valley.

This thesis studies the relationship between William Wordsworth and the Anglican religious tradition, both in terms of the formative influence of Anglicanism over Wordsworth's life and work, and, reciprocally, in terms of the effects Wordsworth may have had on that tradition, during his lifetime and since. Widely-held assumptions of the poet's early secularism and radicalism versus late orthodoxy are examined and supported but problematised. Through a consideration of Anglican and other religious influences on the young poet, the dissemination of these influences later in Wordsworth's life as

Abstract:

rDzogs chen, the "Great Perfection", is a philosophical and meditational system of Tibetan Buddhism. It is the counterpart of the Ch'an in Chinese Buddhism and Zen in Japan. Western writers on Tibetan Buddhism have viewed it as a survival of the Ch'an which was once known in Tibet in the eighth century A.D., but declined after the breakup of the Tibetan empire in the mid-ninth century A.D. This view is mainly derived from the attitude of the Tibetan Buddhist orthodox schools who regarded rDzogs chen as a resurrection of Ch'an the practice of which according to the Tibetan historical tradition

Contemporary advances in cognitive sciences, and especially in cognitive neuroscience, caused a gradual but major shift of a paradigm within the humanities. From dualistic mind/body, subjective/objective, abstract/concrete, cognition/emotion approaches, the focus progressively moved toward embodied and enactive non-dualist perspective. The research chronicled by this thesis contributes to this current. It utilises both theory and praxis as methodological tools for instigating a dialogue between cognitive sciences and contemplative religious and art practices. Its primary concern is to re-exami

Abstract:

The history of African Traditional Religions (ATRs), both inside and outside academia, is one dominated by exclusions. These exclusions were created by the colonial framing of ATRs as primitive, irrational and inferior to other religions. This colonial legacy is in danger of being preserved by the absence of ATRs from the academic study of religion, legal definitions of religion, and global and local conversations about religion. This thesis will explore the ways that a more considered and accurate examination of the understudied religious dimensions within ATRs can potentially dismantle this

Abstract:

The question of who is participating in today’s debate around theologies of other religions is important. Religious difference and the many ways of dealing with it are issues in political, social and theological initiatives. The reality of religious plurality in daily life leaves some Christians wondering about the best way to relate to non-Christian neighbors. In light of this, a series of questions emerges about who is shaping conversations with people of other faiths and what priorities they reflect. A Lutheran voice is lacking in this debate.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the concept of 'civil religion' and whether it is applicable to some aspects of New Zealand society. The origin, development and criticism of the concept is discussed, drawing on such scholars as Robert Bellah and John F. Wilson in the United States, and on recent New Zealand commentators. Using material such as Anzac Day and Waitangi Day commemorations, Governor-Generals' speeches, observance of Dominion Day and Empire Day, prayers in Parliament, the role of Norman Kirk, and other related phenomena, the thesis considers whether this 'evidence' substantiates the

Abstract:

This thesis examines how J.M. Coetzee's engagement with Christian thinkers and concepts has shaped his fiction. Through a series of close readings, I show how Coetzee, who does not identify as a Christian, reworks and reimagines concepts from key Christian interlocutors across his writings. Each close reading is informed by a consideration of what Coetzee had himself been reading during the writing process, based on evidence in interviews, essays, monographs, and archival materials. Attending to Coetzee's reading and writing, together, illuminates the distinctively self-conscious nature of his

Abstract:

In its search for the sources of “ethics from within”, this thesis concurs with many researchers who believe that religions, or any belief systems, are the main sources of ethics, which found their way into the work place, and are still greatly affecting the cultures and economies of today’s world. The research aimed at discussing how religious principles, values and traditions have had, and will always have, a great impact on the ethics of the work place, provided that a certain level of adherence is observed. Culture, religion and economy are tied up in an inseparable matrix that has always
