Abstract:
The Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF), drawn up in London in the 1640s, has been one of the most influential confessions in the history of Reformed theology. It has occupied a very significant place in the life of a great many Protestant churches since the seventeenth century, and continues to serve as a chief subordinate standard in several major denominations today. In the opening chapter of the Confession, the divines of Westminster included a clause which implied that there would no longer be any supernatural revelation from God for showing humankind the way of salvation. Means by which God had once communicated the divine will concerning salvation, such as dreams, visions, and the miraculous gifts of the Spirit, were said to be no longer applicable. However, many of the authors of the WCF accepted that "prophecy" continued in their time, and a number of them apparently believed that disclosure of God�s will through dreams, visions, and angelic communication remained possible. How is the "cessationist" clause of WCF 1:1 to be read in the light of these facts? Was it intended as a strict denial of the possibility that any supernatural revelation for the purposes of salvation could take place after the apostolic period, or did its authors, as some modern scholars have argued, allow for a more flexible view, in which such divine revelation through extraordinary means might still take place? This thesis explores these questions in the light of the modern debates over the interpretation of the Confession�s language and its implications for the church today. It considers the difference between "mediate" and "immediate" revelation as understood by the Westminster divines, and attempts to show that only "immediate" revelation was considered to have ceased, while "mediate" revelation, which always involved Scripture, was held to continue. A detailed analysis of the writings of the Westminster divines reveals that these churchmen possessed both a strong desire to maintain the unity of Word and Spirit and a concern to safeguard the freedom of the Holy Spirit to speak to particular circumstances through the language and principles of Scripture. God still enabled predictive prophecy and spoke to individuals in extraordinary ways, but contemporary prophecy was held to be something distinct from the prophecy of New Testament figures. In the minds of both the Scottish Presbyterians and English Puritans, prophecy was considered to be an application of Scripture for a specific situation, not an announcement of new information not contained within the Bible. The Scriptures always remained essential for the process of discerning God�s will. The Introduction to the thesis considers the debate over WCF 1:1 in its modern setting. Chapter One outlines the socio-political and theological context of the Westminster Assembly, and discusses the question of how to assess the respective contributions of the divines to the documents it produced. Chapter Two investigates the Westminster view of the necessity and scope of special revelation, and discusses the nature of the "salvation" which was conveyed by this means. Chapter Three surveys the exegetical traditions underpinning the teaching that former modalities of supernatural revelation had ceased. Chapter Four seeks to respond to modern claims that Puritan theology allowed for a "continuationist" position, by canvassing evidence both from seventeenth-century Reformed thinkers themselves and from their critics, who maintained that Westminster orthodoxy was indeed cessationist in style. Chapters Five and Six explore the claims to and explanations for "prophecy" in Reformed theology in both England and Scotland in the seventeenth century. Chapter Seven examines the question of the theological status of the Westminster Confession in its own time. To what extent were subscription requirements envisaged by the Assembly and the governments of the day, and what form did these requirements take? The thesis concludes that the Westminster divines intended the cessationist clause to affirm that there was to be no more extra-biblical, "immediate" revelation for any purpose now that the church possessed the completed Scriptures. The written Word of God was fully capable of showing the way of "salvation" in its wider scope as either temporal or eternal deliverance. At the same time the divines did not intend to deny that God could still speak through special providences that might involve dreams or the ministry of angels, for example, but such revelation was always to be considered "mediate". The primary means was held to be the written Scriptures, illuminated by the Holy Spirit. The unity of the Word and Spirit was maintained, and God�s freedom to address individual circumstances remained intact.

Full text
Abstract:
The chapter concerning the life and times of Methodios, Patriarch of Constantinople, begins with a summary of the history of the iconoclastic controversy. This provides the background for a review of Methodios' vita. A native of Syracuse in Sicily, he became a central figure in the victory of the Iconoduies over the forces of iconoclasm. Methodios was the Patriarch of Constantinople (843 - 847).The Triumph of Orthodoxy, over which Methodios presided, commemorated the victory of icon supporters. The Sunday of Orthodoxy services are examined and the Synodicon's content is analysed. The third chapter discusses the consequences of the restoration of images. This period of stabilisation and strengthening of the Church was, nonetheless, fraught with turmoil and controversy. The re-integration of the former Iconoclasts and a schism from the Studite monks were two serious challenges the Patriarch faced during this time. The formation of Methodios' ecclesiology, his concept of the Church, including his sense of place in and responsibility for the Tradition of the Church were significant in his thinking. The synergy of Paradosis and Parakatatheki is explored and it will be shown that Methodios considered himself accountable to God for his ecclesial trust. His literary works are catalogued and analysed. Some previously unpublished compositions are discussed. The categories of hagiographic, poetic and liturgical compositions are emphasised. This is undertaken to reveal Methodios, both the dedicated iconodule but more importantly, the man. Finally, conclusions and thoughts concerning the legacy of Patriarch Methodios within Orthodoxy and history are offered.

Full text
Abstract:
This study deals with how E.W. Kenyon’s use of the Bible was the foundation used by Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland to build the Word of Faith Movement. Kenyon could be considered the grandfather of this movement, while Hagin can be regarded as the father and Copeland, the one on whose shoulders Hagin’s mantle has fallen since his death. It includes brief biographies of Kenyon, Hagin and Copeland and their ministries. It looks into how influential Kenyon’s use of the Bible is in developing his doctrines, which have been copied by both Hagin and Copeland and the Word of Faith's pastors throughout the world. This study is not an exhaustive examination of Kenyon’s doctrines but enough is studied to show he does not conform to traditional reformed theological hermeneutics. Kenyon’s writings date back to the early twentieth century. Hagin’s writings are from the mid- and late twentieth century, while Copeland writes from the late twentieth century to the present day. It will be shown that Hagin and Copeland copied Kenyon’s use of the Bible almost verbatim, resulting in them promoting doctrines in the Word of Faith Movement similar to his doctrines. This study deals with Kenyon’s writings in Chapter 2, while Chapter 3 deals with Hagin’s and Copeland’s teachings. Chapter 4 compares the three’s teachings from a reformed theological perspective, using literature by fairly modern-day writers on reformed theology. Chapter 5 evaluates and concludes and offers recommendations for further study. Finally, Kenyon’s and his two followers’ teachings are summarised and evaluated. The study will also examine some of the effects these teachings have on the individual who attends Word of Faith Movement churches. Future research topics that could help in understanding the attraction these teachings have for people and the danger they pose to reformed churches today are suggested.

Abstract:
The Particular Baptists of England emerged in the middle of the seventeenth century around the time of the Revolution. The first half of this thesis looks at the history of the first two London Particular Baptist Confessions of Faith written in 1644 and 1689. It examines the history behind the making of both Confessions as well as the sources from which they drew their material. The second half of the thesis is a comparison study. Firstly, the two Baptist Confessions are compared with each other in the areas of the atonement, baptism, the Church, and religious liberty, to see if Particular Baptist beliefs had changed. Secondly, the 1689 Baptist Confession is compared with the two leading English Calvinistic Confessions of the seventeenth century, the Presbyterian Westminster Confession and the Congregationalist Savoy Declaration, in order to see their similarities and differences in the same four areas.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to discover what meaning adult candidates for Anglican confirmation gave to their confirmation, how they experienced the ritual and what place confirmation had in their continuing faith journey. The research report retells the stories of eight adults. The stories of four are presented as case studies. The baptism/ confirmation stories of all research participants are presented as metaphors, a form of 'systematic thematic analysis' (Plummer 1983). For the study I adopted a life history, case study approach (Jones 1983; Plummer 1983; Minichiello et al. 1995) drawing on the insights of ritual theory (Turner 1969, 1972, 1976) and the concept of transitional phenomena proposed by Winnicott (1965, 1971). Two sets of contextual factors formed the background to the study: the Church's tradition and its debates about confirmation and the attitudes of lay people about their faith and about the Church. The research method involved a grounded theory approach. The principal data creation techniques were in-depth interview and the Faith Autobiography pro forma. Following the initial interviews, each research participant was sent a summary of the research findings (Summary of themes). The Summary gave the metaphors which emerged from the interviews, together with brief notes on the concepts used to interpret the data. Responses from the research participants were incorporated into the final form of the metaphors: Belonging to myself, Returning/ Starting over, Growing up, Joining the family and Making a commitment. Most research participants did not regard baptism/confirmation as joining the Church: rather they saw themselves as belonging to the Church already; neither were they concerned with becoming Anglicans. For the majority, the transition they made in baptism/confirmation paralleled another life transition which was taking place or was expected to take place. Taking part in the research helped form the participants� ideas about baptism/confirmation. While the catechumenal process is able to provide a holding environment in which candidates for baptism/confirmation can explore the transitions in which they are involved, the initiation liturgy should reflect the �return� motif which emphasises incorporation as well as the traditional Exodus motif which emphasises separation.

Abstract:
Thomas Chalmers, pasteur presbytérien écossais né en 1780 et mort en 1847, lutta contre l'indigence et l'irréligion dans les grandes villes écossaises pendant la Révolution Industrielle. En réponse aux conditions économiques et sociales dramatiques, il entreprit de redonner vie à l'idéal paroissial knoxien, en tentant de fonder un Commonwealth divin. Son noble projet a pour origine les idées sociales calvinistes des 16ème et 17ème siècles qui ont été exposées dans des documents issus des Réformes écossaise et genevoise comme le Premier Livre de Discipline (1560), le Second Livre de Discipline (1578) et la Confession de Foi de Westminster (1647). Cette forme de calvinisme avait pour mission de réformer en profondeur la société de sorte que la religion s'immisce dans tous les secteurs de la vie sociale, politique et économique, ramenant le christianisme dans tous les foyers d'Ecosse. Thomas Chalmers reprit ces idées à son compte pour créer un Commonwealth divin, sorte de société idéale dans laquelle il souhaitait édifier conjointement un " Nouvel Homme " dans une Eglise universelle. Pour ce faire, il mit en place un système d'éducation au sein d'une organisation paroissiale d'inspiration knoxienne. Dans un premier temps, nous étudions l'originalité de l'instruction paroissiale de Thomas Chalmers dans la tradition de l'Eglise Etablie. Dans une seconde partie, nous analysons le rôle de ses réformes universitaires dans la définition d'une théologie pastorale. Enfin, nous démontrons que ses réformes d'édification de l'Eglise furent tributaires des rapports complexes entre l'Eglise et l'Etat. En 1843, la fondation de l'Eglise Libre d'Ecosse sonna le glas de leur alliance, mais fut, pour Chalmers, une nouvelle opportunité de poursuivre son idéal d'un Commonwealth divin
Thomas Chalmers, Presbyterian minister, (1780-1847), fought against pauperism and irreligion in urban Scotland during the Industrial Revolution. Because of the dreadful economic and social conditions, he revived the parochial ideal of John Knox in order to found a Godly Commonwealth. The sources of inspirations are the 16th and 17th century social Calvinist ideas which were expounded in the major documents of the European Reformations such as The First Book pf Discipline (1560), the Second Book of Discipline (1578) and the Westminster Confession of Faith (1647). This Calvinist organization was aimed at reforming society so as religion could penetrate all aspects of social, political and economical life. Chalmers took over the ideal to create a Godly Commonwealth in which he could transform members of society into a “New man” within a universal Church. He organized a new educational system within a traditional parish system. First, I will study the originality of his parochial instruction system in the Presbyterian tradition. Secondly, I will analyse the impact of his academic reforms in the definition of a pastoral theology. Finally, I will show how the success of his reforms depended upon the complex relationship between Church and State. In 1843, the foundation of the Free Church of Scotland challenged the alliance. However, it was an opportunity for Chalmers to carry on his mission of a Godly Commonwealth

This dissertation investigates the historical and contextual events involved in the process of implantation of Fluminense Evangelical Church, that cul-minate in the establishment of the 28 Articles of the Short Exposition of the Christianity Fundamental Doctrines. It was hypothesized that this declaration of faith has been created under the influence of The Westminster Confes-sion of Faith, main symbol of faith of the Scottish Presbyterianism, of which Robert Reid Kalley was part. In this aspect, this study aims to identify theo-logical-doctrinaire similarities and displacements that permeate the 28 Arti-cles, through a comparative study with The Westminster Confession of Faith. As theoretical-methodological referential it was used the concept of history of religious mentalities, as a strategy for identification of common doctrines believed and practiced in the daily life of different societies and contexts. The first chapter presents historical and contextual elements of the institu-tionalization of the Fluminense Evangelical Church and the 28 Articles. The second chapter reports the origin and development of The Westminster Con-fession of Faith. The third chapter categorizes the 28 Articles in the six main areas of theology (Theology, Anthropology, Christology, Soteriology, Eccle-siology and Eschatology), suggesting a comparative study in relation to The Westminster Confession of Faith. The results reveal, in an original way, the existing doctrinaire similarities and displacements, achieving the disserta-tion objective.
A presente dissertação de mestrado analisa os acontecimentos históricos e contextuais envolvidos no processo de implantação da Igreja Evangélica Fluminense, que culminaram no estabelecimento dos 28 Artigos da Breve Exposição das Doutrinas Fundamentais do Cristianismo. Trabalhou-se com a hipótese desta declaração de fé ter recebido influência da Confissão de Fé de Westminster, principal símbolo de fé do presbiterianismo escocês, do qual Robert Reid Kalley fez parte. Nesse aspecto, o trabalho busca identifi-car as similaridades e os deslocamentos teológico-doutrinários que permei-am os 28 artigos, através de um estudo comparativo com a Confissão de Fé de Westminster. Como referencial teórico-metodológico utilizou-se o concei-to de história das mentalidades religiosas, como estratégia para identifica-ção das doutrinas comuns cridas e praticadas no cotidiano de sociedades e contextos distintos. O primeiro capítulo apresenta elementos históricos e contextuais na institucionalização da Igreja Evangélica Fluminense e dos 28 Artigos. O segundo capítulo relata a origem e o desenvolvimento da Con-fissão de Fé de Westminster. O terceiro capítulo categoriza os 28 Artigos nas seis principais áreas da teologia (Teologia, Antropologia, Cristologia, Soteri-ologia, Eclesiologia e Escatologia), propondo um estudo comparativo em relação à Confissão de Fé de Westminster. Como resultado apresenta, de forma original, as similaridades e os deslocamentos doutrinários existentes, atingindo o objetivo da pesquisa.

Abstract:
While the great poet, James Whitcomb Riley, a native poet from my hometown of Greenfield, has a strong sense of Indiana and his Hoosier-ness. I compare myself to Whitcomb Riley, only in the sense of place, because my understanding of poetry was shaped around his work growing up in Hancock County. I am personally influenced by other poets such as Sylvia Plath, Walt Whitman, and James Wright in style and in content. My poetry contains a mixture of confessionalism and pastoral poems and doesn’t shy away from critiquing every aspect of place, family, and mental illness. These intersecting ideals and styles (confessional and pastoral in fixed forms/free-verse) place me at a crossroads of my own, where navigating my position within these frameworks alters my view of the Midwest and how a mental illness may, in fact, be worse off because of the isolation, dissociation, and perception.

This work is a study of the school chaplaincy developed in the Baptist Educational Corporation of Minas Gerais (SBME), institution formed by six schools, a college, a language institute and three social educational projects, all of them located in the state of Minas Gerais and maintained by the Educational Board of the Baptist Convention of Minas Gerais, institution to which the Baptist Churches of the state are affiliated. It presents the origin, the context, the development and the constitution of the Baptist Educational Corporation of Minas Gerais, as well as, its relationship with the Baptist denominational structure. It also describes the objectives, the importance, the functions and the legality of school chaplaincy along with the role, the educational formation and the ideal profile of a school chaplain. The school chaplaincy (or pastoral) is present in almost all denominational educational institutions, that is, those which are connected to a religion and adopt the faith and life principles of its religious tradition as guidance of their political and pedagogical actions. The goal of school chaplaincy is to minister to students, employees, teachers and families of an educational institution based on the faith principles of the institution, helping them in their emotional, spiritual and moral needs, helping them to overcome their difficulties and daily fights, so as to make the process of total development of the person flow smoothly. The SBME chaplaincy like all others has to face a lot of challenges related to faith confession principles, school internal and external environment, society problems and a series of other problems the contemporary young student has to face which are described in this paper. In order to face and respond to these many challenges and demands, the chaplaincy of the SBME uses a series of strategies and develops several actions. Among the strategies and possibilities of pastoral actions, the project Ethics and Character in the School is accentuated. The project has as its goal to help students, employees and teachers to build character qualities and ethic principles, along the educational process of the school and also to be used in life(AU0

Apresenta a origem, contexto, desenvolvimento e constituição do Sistema Batisa Mineiro de Educação, bem como sua relação com a estrutura da deominação batista. Descreve os objetivos, importância, funções e legalidade da capelania escolar e o papél, a formação e o perfil ideal de um capelão ou capelã escolar. A capelania (ou pastoral) escolar está presente em praticamente todas as instituições educacionais confessionais, isto é, naquelas que estão ligadas a uma religião e que adotam os princípios de fé e vida dessa tradição religiosa como norteadores de sua ação poliítico-pedagógica. O objetivo da capelania escolar é ministrar aos alunos, funcionários administrativos e docentes e familiares de uma instituição de ensino, em suas necessidades emocionais, espirituais e morais, ajudando-os a superarem suas dificuldades e lutas, a fim de que o processo de formação do ser integral aconteça. A Capelania do SBME, como todas as capelanias escolares, enfrenta muitos desafios oriundos do exercício da sua confessionalidade, do ambiente interno e externo da escola, da sociedade e de vários problemas que vivenciam o jovem estudante contemporâneo, relacionados ao longo do texto. Para responder a esses desafios e demandas a capelania do SBME usa uma série de estratégias e desenvolve várias ações. Entre as estratégias e possibilidades de ação pastoral apresentadas neste trabalho, destaca-se o Projeto Ética e Caráter na Escola , que objetiva ajudar aos corpos docentes, discente e adminsitrativo a construirem e adotarem valo res e princípios éticos cristãos, ao longo de todo o processo educativo na escola e para a vida(AU)

Early Reformation and the contacts between Lithuanian and Italian Evangelicals (2008) as well as her various scholarly papers on the topic of Reformation and Protestant literature of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL). The main subject of her study deals with the cultural processes of the early Reformation of GDL (the first two decades of the Reformation); however some aspects of the later development of Protestant literature and culture at the second half of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century have also been taken into consideration. This interdisciplinary research integrates the issues and concerns of the history of culture, churches, confessions and literature of GDL. The main issues of the research are: the beginning of the Reformation in Lithuania and the reconstruction of the intellectual biography of Abraomas Kulvietis (Abraham Culvensis Gynvilionis), the pioneer of Lithuanian Evangelical thought; the two early Lithuanian confessions of Evangelical faith: Confessio fidei by Culvensis (1543) and Radziwiłł the Black’s answer to the Papal Nuncio Aloisio Lippomano (Duae epistolae, 1556); the links between Lithuanian and Italian Evangelicals and the role of the Italians in...

Abstract:
La force particulière attribuée à l'aveu judiciaire civil procède, à l'origine, d'un rattachement contestable à la confessio in jure, qui constituait un acquiescement à la demande. Si l'on restitue à l'aveu sa dimension probatoire qu'avait dégagée le droit savant médiéval, il apparaît que la nature de l'aveu porte l'empreinte de la volonté alors que son régime est fortement influencé par la recherche d'une vérité par le juge. D'un côté, l'exigence d'intégrité et de liberté de la volonté d'avouer, en droit judiciaire privé comme en procédure pénale, donne à l'aveu la nature d'un acte juridique destiné à constituer une preuve, laquelle ne peut porter que sur un fait. Il est alors possible de distinguer les véritables aveux, qui procèdent d'une telle volonté, d'autres figures juridiques dans lesquelles l'aveu est retenu à titre de sanction contre le plaideur qui, en procédure civile ou en contentieux administratif, méconnaît l'imperium procédural du juge. De l'autre côté, la preuve constituée par l'aveu est toujours appréciée souverainement par les juges du fond. Si le juge judiciaire civil doit tenir le fait avoué pour acquis, c'est pour cette raison que l'aveu réalise la concordance des allégations des parties qui, en application du principe dispositif, interdit au juge de fonder sa décision sur un autre moyen de fait. L'irrévocabilité de l'aveu connait deux manifestations, l'une substantielle, par laquelle la preuve est définitivement constituée, l'autre procédurale, qui emporte l'irrecevabilité du moyen de fait contraire à l'aveu. L'indivisibilité de l'aveu peut être analysée comme procédant de la condition suspensive ou résolutoire dont cet acte juridique peul être affecté
The strength of judicial civil confession is inherited from roman confessio in jure, that was however an admission of claim. Confession being held as an evidence since the medieval law, its nature wears the seal of will whereas its regime is mostly determined by search for the truth. On the one hand, requirement of a free will, both in civil and criminal procedures, grants confession the nature of a legal act intended to prove a fact. Thus genuine confessions can be distinguished from sanctions against litigants who disregard the judge’s imperium, in civil cases as well as in administrative cases. On the other hand, the weight of evidence brought by confession is always determined by the courts in their unfettered discretion. Obligation for civil jurisdictions to state only in consideration of the confessed fact relies on the principle of party disposition. Civil judicial confession 's legal irrevocability is both substantial, as the evidence is permanently constituted, and procedural, preventing the confessor to invoke an opposite allegation of fact. Confession's indivisibility can be analyzed as a result of the suspensive or resolutive condition under which this legal act can be granted

The current dissertation investigates the knowledge of God as My Innermost Self in the memory, having as reference the Confessions, book X. Following the Augustinian view, here we intend to analyze which is the type of knowledge possible to men, and where to find it. For the Bishop of Hippo, only through the foundation of the christian faith a knowledge of God would be accessible. Considering the studied book, that access will be possible when a path in the memory is traversed, based in three actions - one exterior, another interior, and finally a superior. It is through these actions that the human being could know God in his most intimate place that we do not know of, but that exists inside every single men. By making use of authors such as Johannes Brachtendorf, Peter Brown, Philoteus Boehner and Joel Gracioso, this research seeks to concentrate in the referred question, tracing in an objective way all biographic influences that inspired Saint Augustine to achieve his conviction that God is more Intimate of me than I am of Him
A presente dissertação investiga o conhecimento de Deus como Íntimo Meu na memória, tomando como referência o livro X das Confissões. Seguindo a visão agostiniana, aqui pretendemos analisar qual o tipo de conhecimento possível ao homem, e onde encontrar tal conhecimento. Para o bispo de Hipona, somente através da fundamentação da fé cristã seria acessível um conhecimento de Deus. De acordo com o livro referido, esse acesso será possível quando for realizada uma trajetória na memória pautada em três ações - uma exterior, uma interior, e uma superior. Fazendo uso dessas ações é que o ser humano poderia conhecer a Deus no lugar mais íntimo e que desconhecemos, mas que existe dentro de cada um. Acolhendo como norte teórico autores como Johannes Brachtendorf, Peter Brown, Philoteus Boehner e Joel Gracioso, esta pesquisa procura se concentrar na referida questão, traçando de forma objetiva as influências biográficas que contribuíram para que Santo Agostinho pudesse chegar à sua convicção de que Deus é mais Íntimo de mim, do que eu sou d‟Ele

Abstract:
The Church lives in times of change. In times of change Christ builds and equips his Church, through the Holy Spirit, to proclaim the gospel to the world and to make disciples. As part of the congregation, it is important to ask what the role of the youth and youth ministry plays in the building and equipment of the church, which Christ is busy doing. The aim of this dissertation is to examine the possibility that discipleship can be used as a model for ministry for congregation–building to the baptized members (13 to 18 years of age) of the Reformed Churches in South Africa. The following working method was used in order to reach this particular aim: * Firstly, a basis–theoretical investigation was conducted ascertaining the subject, object, aim and nature of congregation–building. * Secondly, a basis–theoretical investigation focused on discipleship was done. In this investigation the aim was to find a workable definition for 'disciple' and 'discipleship' as well as the aim and nature of discipleship. This investigation concluded by showing the relation between congregation–building and discipleship. * Thirdly, an empirical study was launched to determine the situation in the Reformed Churches in South Africa pertaining to youth and youth ministry. In this study the first priority was to determine the aim for youth ministry as determined by the Deputies for Catechesis and Youth nurture of the Reformed Churches in South Africa. The second priority is to determine the present tendencies under the youth in classis KwaZulu–Natal–North of the Reformed Churches in South Africa. The findings of this study were then weighed against the perception of the teachers of Catechesis in this particular classis. * Lastly, the findings of the basis–theoretical investigation and the empirical study was synthesised into a practical theory for discipleship as `n ministry model for church–building for the baptized members (13 to 18 years of age) in the Reformed Churches in South Africa. The finding of this study is that discipleship can indeed be applied as a ministry model for church–building for the baptized members (13 to 18 years of age) in the Reformed Churches in South Africa. Through this ministry model the baptized member can be equipped in a contextual–relevant manner to bring the gospel to the world, through his or her love for God to his or her neighbour, as a member of the faith community of the church.

Abstract:
Certaines fictions romanesques du XIXe siècle se présentent sous la forme de récits rétrospectifs faits à la première personne par un narrateur qui propose une relecture de son passé. Ce retour en arrière peut prendre la forme d’une confession. Dans quel but la confession investit-elle le roman ? Pourquoi la confession passe-t-elle par l’intermédiaire d’une fiction ? L’analyse met en évidence l’émergence d’un nouveau genre dans l’histoire littéraire – le « roman confession » –, genre historiquement daté qui a ses propres règles, ses propres critères, sa propre logique, et qui se situe au confluent de deux genres singuliers : l’autobiographie et le roman
In literature, confessions can be inserted into novels. Confessions belong to the autobiographical genre and can show faults, sins and guilty behavior whereas novels belong to the fictional genre. Our work analyses the extent to which a new genre appears in the literary history, and most particularly in the 19th century. Indeed, the “novel confession” is a genre of the 19th century, with its own characteristics

Abstract:
The current research examined whether mock jurors make differential assessments of guilt of defendants based on inclusion or exclusion of confession evidence and type of coercion to determine if jurors' behavioral reactions to confession evidence could be predicted. Hypotheses addressed effects of various factors on jurors' decisions of verdicts regarding defendants' guilt or innocence and their certainty of these verdicts: inclusion of confession evidence, type of coercion used in obtaining confessions, admissible or inadmissible presentation of confession evidence, and influence of potential predictor variables. Predictor variables assessed included participants' Belief in a Just World, Spheres of Control, New Authoritarianism, and Belief in False Confession Evidence. No main effects were found for participants' first or second verdicts or certainty assessments.

Abstract:
Following the general view of faith provided by Paul Tillich as 'the state of being ultimately concerned,' the present work provides a topography of faith that is designed to reveal the intimate connections between faith and the development of personal identity. As the state of Being-for-one's-ultimate-concern, it is a person's faith which molds and shapes her own unique self, providing depth, direction, and unity to her life.
My understanding of faith is that it must be living faith, like living tissue, and this is true in the obvious sense that it is a life lived. Starting from the view that no individual's existence is self-justifying, what is presented is an existential analysis of our actual encounters with faith, brought to show up through the individual's active struggle in responding to the call of her own question-begging existence. This is the process of the making of the identity I have called transcendental faith.

Abstract:
This dissertation presents the story of the (Lutheran) Church of the Augsburg Confession in Quebec. Both from within and without, the Church has been influenced in its theology and practice by a unique configuration of factors, making it distinctive from Lutheran churches elsewhere. In addition to the expected differences from the dominant British Protestant and French Roman Catholic teaching, there was the added Quebec peculiarity of Canadian millennial nationalism. This politico-religious nationalism was at its height just at the time that the confessional Lutheranism being implanted in Quebec was at an acutely amillennialist point. Theology though, was not the only distinctive feature. The Church as a whole tended to be an immigrant church. This was especially true for the first century, but even when English-Canadian congregations were established later on, they were largely composed of Lutherans originally from outside of Quebec. As was the case for most nineteenth and twentieth-century immigrants to the province, the Lutheran immigrants tended to be integrated into anglophone society. The anglicization and resultant decimation through the English exodus of the late twentieth century played a major role in the development of what is perhaps the most distinctive feature of Lutheranism in Quebec, that of its francophone missions. The author concludes that the combination of theology, ethnic diversity and minority status of Lutherans in the province has determined that the Church of the Augsburg Confession in Quebec be a distinctive Church. This distinctiveness sets it apart from other denominations in the province as well as from the Lutheran churches in the rest of Canada, North America, or for that matter, the rest of the world.

Abstract:
After Rousseau's famous Confessions, Britain witnessed a surge in the production of literary confession. This thesis examines five Romantic-era confessions to show how this autobiographical form was reshaped in the period, concentrating on the way in which their writers operated through engagement with editors, publishers, audiences, and print forms. It argues that Romantic confessors exploited not only the genre and its popularity but also conventions of publication to establish themselves as distinctive author-figures within Britain's increasingly competitive and commercialized print culture. Chapter One looks at the confessions of Thomas De Quincey and Charles Lamb, tracing their use of the literary magazine to develop reader-writer relationships. Chapter Two considers how William-Henry Ireland and William Hazlitt use the book format to construct their authorship, while Chapter Three turns to a fictional confession by James Hogg, whose structure mimics the process of publishing the private and raises questions about this act.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a rhetorical analysis of Alfred de Musset's La Confession d'un enfant du siecle. The methodology used for the purpose of the analysis gives a certain originality to this dissertation. It is quite unusual among the literary scholars to associate rhetoric to a text that is typically romantic by its form and content, rhetoric being traditionally used for discourse analysis only, not for a novel. What our research has shown us is that nobody has ever approached, with a rhetorical eye, that novel which, moreover, has almost never been studied nor commented. The main idea for this paper was that the literary genre of the confession, because of its religious and judicial origins, necessarily implies a desire of persuasion. To obtain total redemption of his crimes or sins, one must convince the other that he regrets what he has done, that he acted against his own will, that he suffers from what he did, that he acted without knowing his actions or words would hurt someone; one can even say that he is the victim of false accusations, etc. Rhetoric is then called to play an important part in this justification and persuasion enterprise. That is why we came with this hypothesis that there was in Musset's novel a persuasion mechanism working to gain the support of the reader toward the narrator's thesis. This dissertation tries to emphasize the persuasion mechanism by doing a rhetorical analysis of the text.

Abstract:
Much study regarding the Belhar Confession has been conducted already such as: The Belhar Confession in its historical context Plaatjies-van Huffel (2014), Chronicle of Conference Barman/ Belhar Consultation 18 and 19 October 2004 Hansen (2005), A gift from heaven-the receptions in the Belhar Confession in the period 1982-2000 and its ecumenical significance today Naudè (2003) and On violence, the Belhar Confession and human dignity Koopman (2008) to mention but a few. From preliminary observations and some initial research, it seems that there is still a need to do an indepth study on the liturgical function of the Belhar Confession in Music. The working hypothesis of this study is if the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa URCSA uses Belhar more in the liturgy, especially in singing it will have an impact on the congregations and members. In other words the working hypothesis is that there is a link between liturgy, here specifically hymn singing, and the formation of worshippers. If URCSA is expecting others to adopt this confession it is its responsibility to embrace it during worship in church and to the rest of the society outside church vicinities. The literature survey that will be carried out later in this study confirms this state of affairs and that there is thus indeed a huge research gap in this regard. The researcher did a literature study, conducted semi-structured group interviews, as well as the some empirical research in order to explore the basic research question.

Decrire la politique du personnel sous-officier, c'est preciser les moyens mis en oeuvre par les pouvoirs publics pour selectionner, recruter, former, employer et gerer cette categorie de personnel afin de satisfaire les besoins des armees tout en assurant a chaque sous-officier, officier marinier ou gendarme la carriere la mieux adaptee a ses capacites. Son histoire semble prendre racine en 1635, date de l'entree de la frande de louis 13 et de richelieu dans la guerre de 30 ans. L'ampleur de celle-ci exige alors le recrutement d'armees permanentes. De cette epoque jusqu'en 1762, grace a le tellier et louvois, colbert et le blanc s'ebauche une politique du personnel bas officier en particulier au profit des archers de la marechaussee. Par ses ordonnances des 10 et 22 decembre 1762, choiseul inscrit dans les textes sa volonte de valoriser le corps des bas officiers. Cette dynamqieu s'estompe apres l'epopee imperiale car le pouvoir refuse aux sous-officiers de l'armee de terre un veritable statut qu'il accorde cependant aux officiers par la loi du 19 mai 1834 et aux officiers mariniers par le decret du 5 juin 1856. La loi du 27 juillet 1872 marque les premisses de l'instauration de la conscription universelle en france et l'obligation de disposer plus que jamais d'un encadrement de contact de qualite. Cette necessite s'accompagne de la preparation puis de la consolidation de garanties de carriere au profit des sous-officiers. Un etat leur est reconnu a tous a partir des prescriptions contenues dans la loi du 30 mars 1928. La derniere etape commence avec la publication de la loi du 13 juillet 1972 et des decrets portant statuts particuliers des corps de sous-officiers, officiers mariniers et gendarmes au sein de la collectivite militaire. C'est le temps de l'harmonisation. Le lien entre ces differentes phases est constitue par le role essentiel que tient dans la hierarchie militaire ce corps intermediaire. Pour repondre aux besoins. Quantitatifs, l'etat accorde a ses membres d'abord des avantages, c'est la periode 1635-1872;puis des garanties, c'est la phase 1872-1985
The three synoptic recensions of peter's confession are based on a primitive apocalyptic-coloured account, which ends with the choice-saying presently reported in mt 16,18. It expresses a paschal faith tinged with the radicalism of a christian community close to its semitic origins and living in the expectation of the living god's son's advent, seeing peter as the tangible token of the reality of their hope. This primitive account probably retains the remembrance of peter's attitude during the galilean crisis of jesus' ministry. Its most reliable historical base lies nevertheless in the mention of kepha, the nickname given to the disciple. The choice-saying offers a new reading of it, focusing the aspects of solidity and stability usually linked to the term. Yet under the shock of peter's martyrdom, mark replaces the choice-saying by a gathering of jesus'words on the followership, preceded by the first annoucement of the passion. It is not certain that luke ignored the choice-saying. But a reading of the entire lukan corpus allows to see that peter is less the foundation-rock than the actor assuring the steady growth of god's people beyond the calls for conversion of the passion and the overture to the pagans. Matthew knew the primitive account and the markan recension of the confession's narrative. He widened the jesus' declaration with the mt 16,17 beatitude and the mt 16,19 saying of induction, thus creating an indoubted echo with mt 28, 18-20. The powers nowadays wielded in the ecclesiastic brotherhood in the name of the risen lord are then deeply rooted in the jesus'earthly ministry, through the relay of generations
