Abstract:

Un geste accompli au cours d’une représentation théâtrale et un geste prophétique peuvent-ils se rejoindre ? Un texte dramatique peut-il avoir lui-même vocation « prophétique », dans le sens où il éveille la conscience de ses destinataires, leur montrant le chemin de la vie et de la mort ? Telle est la question au centre de cette recherche. Pour l’aborder on propose d’étudier la manière dont l’auteur dramatique suédois August Strindberg (1849-1912), un des pères du théâtre moderne, reçoit et relit dans son dernier écrit pour le théâtre, La Grand-route (1909), la prophétie de Jérémie à Tophet (Jr 7, 31.32 ; 19, 6.11.12.13.14). Proclamant la parole divine essentiellement à Jérusalem à la fin du 6ème siècle av. J. C., Jérémie est aussi envoyé par Dieu à Tophet, pour poser un acte prophétique particulier – qui unit le geste à la parole pour renforcer cette dernière : Jérémie doit briser un vase pour annoncer la destruction de Jérusalem (19,11-12). Dans le dernier drame strindbergien, un prédicateur arrive dans une ville nommé Tophet, où il reçoit un vase japonais qui devient urne funéraire. Associé à un discours critique envers les perversions d’une société matérialiste, l’objet devient signe de la fin tragique d’un homme, associée au destin de sa ville, Hiroshima. À travers l’analyse comparative de la mission des sujets, des fonctions du lieu et du vase, objet empreint de la vie humaine, la thèse traite de la relation entre théâtre et prophétie, domaines abordés utilisant l’analyse performative et les principes de la grammaire narrative et structurale
Can a gesture made during a theatrical performance and a prophetic gesture be compared? Can a dramatic text itself have a "prophetic" vocation, in the sense that it awakens the consciousness of its audience? This is the central question of this research. To approach it, we propose to study the way in which the Swedish playwright August Strindberg (1849-1912), one of the fathers of modern theatre, interprets in his last drama, The Great Highway (1909), the prophecy of Jeremiah. Proclaiming the divine word essentially in Jerusalem, at the end of the 6th century BC, the prophet Jeremiah is also sent to Tophet (Jr 7: 31.32; 19, 6.11.12.13.14), a place that alone symbolizes the perversion of the Israelites (Jr 19:1-20:2). It is here that Jeremiah is invited to perform a prophetic act, which unites gesture with words to strengthen the latter: Jeremiah must break a vessel to announce the destruction of Jerusalem. In Strindberg’s drama, a preacher arrives in a town calls Tophet, where he receives a Japanese vase in order to turn it into a funeral urn. Associated to a critical speech against a materialistic society, the object becomes a sign of a merchant’s tragic life, linked to the destiny of his hometown, Hiroshima. Through a comparative analysis, that focuses on the mission of the hero, the functions of the place and of the vase – an object imprinted of man’s life and choices, the theses addresses the relationship between theatre and prophecy. The two domains are approached through a performative analyse, but also with the help of narrative and structural grammar

Abstract:

This thesis is an examination of Muslim traditions concerning Muhammad's call to prophethood. Although Muhammad's initial prophetic call is one of the most crucial events in the history of Islamic religious tradition, Muslim records of the event are too inconsistent to be reconciled. At the expense of sound source criticism, some influential modern Islamicists, like Tor Andrae and W. M. Watt, have tried to reconstruct Muhammad's call from inconsistent hadiths. Drawing on the works of four Muslim traditionists, i.e. Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Sa'd, al-Bukhari and al-Tabari this thesis points out that, other than the fact that Muhammad must have gone through a fundamental religious experience, Muslim traditions do not permit a reconstruction of the historical event of Muhammad's call; they do provide, however, evidence of the complex ways in which Muslims understood the event, suited to their religio-theological interpretation of the Qur'anic allusions to the modes of Muhammad's religious experiences.

This dissertation attempts to interpret and explain the impact of the historical Jesus on the life of his first disciples, as well as on the communities that came about around him. It is argued that the reason of Jesus‟ impact has to do with the fact that he merged the two types of the prophetic weberian sociology, namely, the exemplary prophet and the emissary prophet. In order to do that, the synoptic Gospels are taken as the main sources for the knowledge of the perception the first communities had of Jesus. Through research in these sources, it is observed that the prophetic characteristics are verified both in the deeds and in the words of Jesus. Indeed, Jesus understood himself as God‟s prophet. Additionally, both his disciples and those who met him, perceived him first and foremost as a prophet. Furthermore, his actions in the synoptic Gospels are strongly marked by the prophetic tradition. This thesis also reveals that the preaching of Jesus is shaped by that tradition in form and content. Finally, through the exegetical narrative of the temptation in the desert, it is demonstrated that the first communities formed around him perceived Jesus as both an exemplary prophet and as an emissary prophet. In this sense, the narrative presents the merging of the mystical experience, typical of the exemplary tradition with the ascetic practices and the ethical radicalism, characteristic of the emissary tradition. Therefore, the disciples and the first Christian communities perceived in Jesus a charismatic power which permeated his life and word, being that fact the reason of the great impact Jesus exerted over their lives and, in turn, over entire communities and, eventually, over the whole society.
A presente pesquisa propõe-se interpretar e explicar o impacto que a figura histórica de Jesus exerceu na vida de seus primeiros discípulos e discípulas, bem como nas comunidades que se formaram ao seu redor. Defende-se que a razão do impacto que Jesus provocou foi por haver fundido os dois tipos proféticos da sociologia weberiana: o profeta exemplar e o profeta emissário. Para tal, considera-se os Evangelhos Sinóticos como as fontes principais para o conhecimento da percepção que as primeiras comunidades cristãs tiveram de Jesus. Através da pesquisa destas fontes, verifica-se que a característica profética se manifesta tanto nas ações quanto nas palavras de Jesus. Ele se compreendeu fundamentalmente como um profeta de Deus. Além disso, tanto os seus discípulos e discípulas quanto aqueles que o conheceram, perceberam-no primeiramente como profeta. Ademais, sua atuação nos Evangelhos Sinóticos se manifesta fortemente marcada pela tradição profética. Averígua-se também que a pregação de Jesus se apresenta moldada por esta tradição, tanto na forma quanto em seu conteúdo. Por fim, através da análise exegética do relato da tentação de Jesus no deserto, constata-se que as primeiras comunidades formadas ao seu redor o perceberam tanto como profeta exemplar quanto como profeta emissário. Neste sentido, o relato se apresenta como a fusão da experiência mística, típica da profecia exemplar com as práticas ascéticas e o radicalismo ético, característicos da profecia emissária. Portanto, os discípulos e discípulas e as primeiras comunidades cristãs perceberam em Jesus um poder carismático que perpassava tanto sua vida quanto suas palavras, sendo esta a razão do grande impacto que exerceu sobre suas vidas e, por conseguinte, sobre comunidades inteiras e sobre a sociedade em geral.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.

Consider a gambler who observes a sequence of independent, non-negative random numbers and is allowed to stop the sequence at any time, claiming a reward equal to the most recent observation. The famous prophet inequality of Krengel, Sucheston, and Garling asserts that a gambler who knows the distribution of each random variable can achieve at least half as much reward, in expectation, as a "prophet" who knows the sampled values of each random variable and can choose the largest one. We generalize this result to the setting in which the gambler and the prophet are allowed to make more than one selection, subject to a matroid constraint. We show that the gambler can still achieve at least half as much reward as the prophet; this result is the best possible, since it is known that the ratio cannot be improved even in the original prophet inequality, which corresponds to the special case of rank-one matroids. Generalizing the result still further, we show that under an intersection of p matroid constraints, the prophet's reward exceeds the gambler's by a factor of at most 0(p), and this factor is also tight. Beyond their interest as theorems about pure online algoritms or optimal stopping rules, these results also have applications to mechanism design. Our results imply improved bounds on the ability of sequential posted-price mechanisms to approximate optimal mechanisms in both single-parameter and multi-parameter Bayesian settings. In particular, our results imply the first efficiently computable constant-factor approximations to the Bayesian optimal revenue in certain multi-parameter settings. This work was done in collaboration with Robert Kleinberg.

Abstract:

The life of the nineteenth-century American prophet, William Bickerton, was not explored comprehensively until 2017-2018 - two centuries after his birth. His life offers new and exciting perspectives for the historiographies of American revivalism, Christian Restorationism, millennialism, Mormonism, and biography. My articles, "The Rocky Road to Prophethood: William Bickerton's Emergence as an American Prophet" (2017) and "Opening the Windows of Heaven: The Bickertonite Spiritual Revival 1856-1858" (2018), along with my book, William Bickerton: Forgotten Latter Day Prophet (2018), utilise an emic approach to examine Bickerton and his religious movement within the contexts of American culture and Mormonism. Following in the footsteps of scholars such as Richard Lyman Bushman (biographer of Joseph Smith), John G. Turner (biographer of Brigham Young), and Deborah Madden (biographer of Richard Brothers), the work submitted applies a sympathetic, yet critical approach to examine Bickerton. It shows that he promoted unique Christian Restorationist, revivalist, and millennialist beliefs during the American Civil War, Reconstruction, and afterward, and fostered progressive theological innovations within the Latter Day Saint movement. The commentary on these submissions expands upon these ideas and argues that the most fruitful approach to Bickerton's religious movement is to begin with the man himself. He was not only the leader, but the prophet, who motivated his people with exceptional visionary power. While accepting that there are weaknesses to biography (especially as the academy continues to favour scholarship that explores trends and processes within the confines of social history and bottom-up studies), this thesis argues that it continues to be a valuable approach for historians of religion. In particular, the hierarchical elements of biography work well when studying radical prophets and offer a foundational approach for understanding prophetic leaders, the culture they interacted with, and the people who followed them.

En el clásico problema de tiempo de parada óptimo conocido como Desigualdad del profeta realizaciones de variables positivas e independientes son descubiertas secuencialmente. Una jugadora que conoce las distribuciones, pero no puede ver en el futuro, debe decidir cuándo parar y tomar la última variable revelada. Su objetivo es maximizar la esperanza de lo obtenido y su rendimiento está dado por el peor caso del cociente entre la esperanza de que obtiene y la esperanza de lo que obtendría un profeta (que puede ver en el futuro y así siempre elegir el máximo). En los setenta, Krengel y Sucheston, y Garling, [16] determinaron que el rendimiento de una jugadora puede ser una constante y que 1/2 es la mejor constante. En la última década, la desigualdad del profeta ha resurgido como un problema importante dada su conexión con "Posted Price Mechanisms", una teoría usada en ventas en línea. Una variante de particular interés es "Prophet Secretary", donde la única diferencia es que las relaciones son descubiertas en orden aleatorio. Para esta variante, varios algoritmos logran un rendimiento de 1 − 1/e ≈ 0.63 y recientemente Azar et al. [2] mejoraron este resultado. En cuanto a cotas superiores, se sabe que una jugadora no puede hacerlo mejor que 0.745, en el límite sobre el tamaño de la instancia. En esta tesis se deriva una forma de analizar estrategias que dependen sólo del tiempo: dada una instancia, se calcula una secuencia decreciente de exigencias que son usadas para decidir si parar o no. La jugadora tomará el primer valor que supere la exigencia correspondiente al momento en que fue descubierta. Específicamente, se considera una clase robusta de estrategias que denominamos "blind strategies". Constituyen una generalización de fijar una sola exigencia para todo el proceso y consisten en fijar una función, independiente de la instancia, que determina cómo calcular las exigencias una vez la instancia es conocida. El resultado principal es que la jugadora logra un rendimiento de al menos 0.669, superando el estado del arte (Azar et al. [2]) tanto para "Prophet Secretary" como para la variante en la que la jugadora tiene la libertad de escoger el orden en que descubre las variables (Beyhaghi et al [3]). El análisis se reduce a estudiar la distribución del tiempo de parada inducido por estas estrategias, a través de la teoría de Schur-convexidad. También, se demuestra que este tipo de estrategias no pueden lograr más que 0.675, a través de calcular el rendimiento óptimo de la jugadora contra dos instancias particulares, resolviendo un problema de control óptimo. Finalmente, se demuestra que el conjunto más amplio de estrategias no adaptativas no pueden lograr más de √3 − 1 ≈ 0.73, cota que también mejora el estado del arte en cotas superiores para estrategias simples (Azar et al [2]). Se considera una estrategia como no adaptativa si al decisión de parar depende del valor, la identidad y el tiempo en que fue descubierta la variable, pero no toma en cuenta la identidad de las variables anteriores.

Full text

Abstract:

Le traducteur de textes littéraires se trouve souvent confronté à des difficultés émanant de la nécessité de rendre la valeur poétique du style imagé du texte original. L'image poétique, telle que nous la concevons dans le cadre de cette étude, est un procédé rhétorique (souvent comparatif ou métaphorique. . . ), qui sert à concrétiser des idées abstraites, par leur rapprochement d'éléments concrets, dont elles sont souvent éloignées dans la réalité des choses. C'est en ce sens que nous disons qu'elles " donnent à voir " aux lecteurs ce qui est de l'ordre de l'invisible, et ce par l'établissement de rapports de comparaison, d'analogie ou de substitution. Cette thèse consiste à relever les caractéristiques spécifiques de ce type d'images, lors du transfert du texte d'origine au texte traduit, ainsi que les principales problématiques traductologiques qui en résultent, et proposer ensuite des solutions convenables à la lumière de l'étude de traductions réussies du Prophet, œuvre maîtresse du poète libanais Khalil GIBRAN de l'anglais vers l'arabe. Ce corpus que nous avons choisi pour notre étude foisonne en images poétiques. Nous abordons de même la question cruciale de l'imbrication polymorphe des deux types d'images : les images poétiques et les images picturales qui figurent simultanément dans The Prophet. Le traducteur doit inévitablement tenir compte des images picturales – qui illustrent les images poétiques et qui ne sont que des tableaux exécutés par l'écrivain-peintre Gibran lui-même – du moment qu'elles constituent une partie intégrante de l'œuvre et éclaircissent la compréhension de la partie littéraire, tout comme cette dernière permet de mieux les assimiler. Parmi les principaux aspects traductologiques concernant le passage des images poétiques dans d'autres langues, citons : L'équivalence et la correspondance dans la traduction des images poétiques , Le rapport explicite/implicite dans l'image poétique et sa traduction ; La traduction re-création de l'image poétique. En essayant de répondre à ces questions et d'autres, nous espérons que notre étude éclaircira quelques points posant problème dans la restitution des caractéristiques de l'expression imagée dans le texte d'arrivée
The translator of literary texts is often confronted with many difficulties arising from the necessity of rendering the poetic value of the original text's imagery. The poetic image, as we consider it in this study, is a rhetoric process (often comparative or metaphoric. . . ), used to concretize abstract ideas, by relating them to concrete elements from which they are usually far in reality. Thus, we say that they “give to see” to the readers what is invisible, by establishing connections of comparison, analogy or substitution. This thesis consists in pointing out the specific characteristics of such images, in the process of translating the original text, as well as the main resulting problems, and then proposing convenient solutions, by studying the successful translations of The Prophet, masterpiece of the Lebanese poet Khalil GIBRAN, from English into Arabic. This corpus chosen for our study abounds in poetic images. We also move on to the crucial matter of the polymorph imbrications of two types of images: the poetic images and the pictorial images simultaneously present in The Prophet. The translator must inevitably take into consideration the pictorial images – that illustrate the poetic ones, and that are executed by the writer and painter Gibran himself – since they constitute an integral part of this work and contribute to shed light on the literary part, as well as the literary images help to assimilate them. The following are some of the main aspects of translation concerning the transfer of poetic images into other languages: Equivalence and correspondence in the translation of poetic images ; The explicit/implicit relation in the poetic image and its translation ; The translation re-creation of the poetic image. In our attempt to bring answers to these questions and others, we hope that our study will clear up some points that pose problems in the restitution of the imagery characteristics in the target language text

"Israel in two African prophet movements : an inquiry into the Mount Zion-Jerusalem concept and the Prophet's role as reflected in the aspects of hymns and prayer-songs of the Kimbangu and Shembe Prophet movements." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/30755.

Full text

Abstract:

When the profane world and secular society threaten man's socio-religious life, he takes refuge in the centre of the world of his religion. This centre for the Israelite, Kimbangu and Shembe Prophet Movements is the cosmic mountain. The phenomenon of theophany on it characterises the genesis of earth's unpolluted life, through which they try to transcend the profane world. In such a situation the Israelite, Kimbangu and Shembe Prophet Movements were born and emerged in protest against colonisation and corruption. The prophets of these Afro-Israel movements claimed to be under the control of the Spirit. They were compelled to deliver a divine message of both condemnation and redemption through the spoken and sung word. With their prophecies, hymns and prayer-songs they attempted to reform the evil systems of their societies, they questioned the right of the oppressor and led pilgrims to the road of the New Jerusalem, the place of comfort and liberation. The thesis analyses the cosmological significance of the sacred mountain and discusses what Zion-Jerusalem is believed to have in common with Nkamba-Jerusalem of the Kimbanguists, Nhlangakazi and Ekuphakameni of the Shembeites. It observes parallels between the three Prophet Movements in their socio-religious traditions. The research was conducted within the guideline of a major research question and four subsidiary questions. The answers to the questions were reached through the interpretation of the socio-religious traditions and analysis of prophecies, hymns and prayer-songs of the prophet Movements. As a result, the thesis concludes that the cosmic mountain in the Prophet Movements is pre-eminently the centre of the pilgrim's world of socio-religious life. Through the phenomenon of theophany on the cosmic mountain, the pilgrim re-enters into the realm of the primal instant perfection of nature and foretastes the paradisiacal life. He feels the need to be and stay always at the centre of this life-giving force. It is his sanctuary, the centre of divine powers and axis mundi where he meets his ancestors and God. The reading of the Bible opened the eyes of the prophets Kimbangu and Shembe to see the sacred symbols of Zion-Jerusalem in their holy mountains, the rich heritage of their traditional religion and values of their socio-cultural traditions. Thus they established Churches based authentically on African Christianity.

Abstract:

This thesis comprises a narrative poem and a commentary that traces its inspiration. The struggle for the control of the Niger Delta has fascinated historians, anthropologists, journalists and Nigerian writers, poets and memoirists; The Prophet, The Pirate and The Witch is a unique narrative contribution to this intriguing subject at a time when the region has become an ongoing trouble spot and flashpoint of conflict between Christian, Islamic and African traditional cultures. The protagonist of the narrative, Isaiah Kosoko, becomes a prophet to escape the clutches of Falila Soares, the witch who loves him. Isaiah‘s best friend Segida Okokobioko marries Falila on the rebound but is forced to become a pirate/freedom fighter – fighting the state and oil conglomerates for causing pollution and unfair distribution of resources from oil wells. In the midst of the love triangle, land and people suffer. The critical commentary provides a context for the inspiration, crafting and interpretation of the poem. It explores my debt to the Bible, situating my narrative in relation to the similarly inspired poetic works of Christopher Okigbo of Nigeria and the Ghanaian-born Caribbean Kwame Dawes. It also examines Nigerian poets across four generations and demonstrates my indebtedness to the political and social agitation that has been a major aspect of their work. I am particularly interested in the tradition of poetic prophecy, exploring the figure of the poet–prophet as a commentator on, and an instrument of, social–economic–political–cultural change. The metaphors that might position some Nigerian poets as possible prophets, others as pirates and yet others as witches, have been sketched. The prophetic agitation for change as an intrinsic part of African orality and its influence on modern African writers has inspired this creative work, which uses a written mode to express an oral form, in a prose–poetic amalgam typical of biblical narratives.

Abstract:

For over four hundred years historians and theologians have been unable to come to a consensus as to where Johann Arndt (1555-1621) fits on the spectrum of orthodoxy in the Lutheran church, what age he best represented, and how he should be understood. Arndt has been credited with reviving medieval mysticism, as being a subversive innovator within the Lutheran church, and as being the father of Pietism. All of this confusion seems to come from the variegated nature of his work. Arndt was willing and able to borrow from a variety of traditions as he sought to revive the church of the Reformation on the eve of the Thirty Years’ War. This work is an investigation into the private world of Arndt through his correspondence as he wrote to individuals with varying theological temperaments. In a sense this thesis follows the pioneering work of Friedrich Arndt, who attempted in 1838 to investigate Arndt’s self-understanding on the basis of his correspondence; his work, however, was severely limited by the fact that only ten letters were known at the time. The Verzeichnis der gedruckten Briefe deutscher Autoren des 17. Jahrhunderts published in 2002 listed twenty-three known letters of Arndt. For my research and using the footnotes and appendices of secondary literature on Arndt and with help from the Forschungsbibliothek in Gotha, I have collected fifty-two letters written by Arndt. This work is the first to treat the letters exhaustively and proposes to present a fuller biographical picture of Arndt and to explore his self-understanding as a prophet of spiritual renewal in the Lutheran church.

Abstract:

In prophet problems, two players with different levels of information make decisions to optimize their return from an underlying optimal stopping problem. The player with more information is called the "prophet" while the player with less information is known as the "gambler." In this thesis, as in the majority of the literature on such problems, we assume that the prophet is omniscient, and the gambler does not know future outcomes when making his decisions. Certainly, the prophet will get a better return than the gambler. But how much better? The goal of a prophet problem is to find the least upper bound on the difference (or ratio) between the prophet's return, M, and the gambler's return, V. In this thesis, we present new prophet problems where we seek the least upper bound on M-V when there is a fixed cost per observations. Most prophet problems in the literature compare M and V when prophet and gambler buy (or sell) one asset. The new prophet problems presented in Chapters 3 and 4 treat a scenario where prophet and gambler optimize their return from selling two assets, when there is a fixed cost per observation. Sharp bounds for the problems on small time horizons are given; for the n-day problem, rough bounds and a description of the distributions for the random variables that maximize M-V are presented.

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 143-147.
In this dissertation my study of the Book of Haggai was done by means of historical-critical exegesis. By entering into the sociological and historical world of Haggai I have attempted to reconstruct the political and religious settings operative at that time in order to gain a deeper understanding of the oracles of Haggai. The dissertation commences with the destruction of the First Temple and the fall of Judah. The elite in Jerusalem are exiled by their Babylonian conquerors. The people who remained behind lived in a state of economic depression, yet they rally together and soon the sacrificial cult is resumed. New leaders come to the fore in both the religious and political arenas. Meanwhile the exiled people are living in an economic prosperous country and soon the exiled King of Judah is allowed to eat at the table of the Babylonian king. Some years later the Persians conquer the Babylonians. Cyrus the Persian king adopts an attitude of religious tolerance and provides financial assistance to restore the temples of his subjects for entirely selfish reasons. In this way the Persian rulers gained popularity and the loyalty of their subjects. King Darius needed to ensure stability in Yehud (Judah) so he returns the Davidide scion Zerubbabel together with Jehozadak the high priest in exile, to Jerusalem. On the basis of Trito-Isaiah a number of biblical scholars have identified two main groups who may be classified as being either pro-Isaiah or pro-Ezekiel both of whom looked forward to gaining control of the Temple cult should it be re-established in Jerusalem. It was at this time that the prophet Haggai exhorts all the people to support Zerubbabel and Jehozadak and to reconstruct the Temple of the God of Israel. Haggai succeeds with clever rhetoric to gain the cooperation of the people. In his second major oracle Haggai addresses the priests and by means of analogy condemns the immorality that was taking place. His third major oracle is directed at Zerubbabel and expresses the hope that with the support and assistance of the God of Israel, Zerubbabel will become a king of Judah. Haggai attempts to re-establish the old order of kingship and temple cult in Jerusalem. He succeeds in re-establishing the temple cult and the Zadokite priesthood is restored giving them control of temple matters once again. Amongst the duties of Jehozadak would have been the collection of taxes for the Persian government. The taxes were in form of money and provisions that would then be used to provide for the needs of the Persian army on its way to Egypt. In his endeavour to restore the ""king"" of Judah Haggai is however unsuccessful. A careful study reveals that an underlying element of opposition had remained in Jerusalem since the fall of Judah. This leads me to conclude that Zerubbabel met a similar fate to that of Gedaliah, the first governor of Yehud. The fear of Persian reprisals became the motive for the silence surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Zerubbabel.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a comparative study of two modern Muslim biographers of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad Husayn Haykal and Sayyid Ja$ rm sp{c}$far Murtada, the one a Sunni the other a Shispc$ = i. In dealing with their works on the { it s = i ra}, the intention is to focus on some aspects of the life of the Prophet of Islam from the time when he resided in Makka. After outlining the authors' scholarly backgrounds, sources, methods, and purposes, etc., the thesis deals with certain specific issues concerning the Prophet's birth, his nursing and the reason behind the custom of having foster-mothers, the controversial stories of the splitting of his chest and of his participation in the sacrilegious war, his state both before and after the announcement to him of his Mission, the authors' interpretations of his night journey and ascent to heaven and lastly their discussion about the Prophet and miracles. This research should not be considered as historical in nature; rather, it aims at clarifying the similarities and differences which may be discovered between our two biographers, and at comparing their respective Sunn = i and Sh = i$spc$ = i approaches.

Full text

Abstract:

Whereas most work on George MacDonald has focused on his literary genius, this thesis takes more of a theological direction. The literary nature of his work is not ignored however. Rather, his imaginative approach and his theology of the imagination are seen as significantly contributive to both his theological discernment and communication. The thesis gives a framework for this affirmation in clarifying the nature of the theological task and an overview of the life and influences on MacDonald in which literary and theological spheres were not seen as dichotomized but interrelated. It probes most deeply into MacDonald's theology of the atonement and his theology of the imagination, arguing that rather than being inconsistent with the nature of the Christian faith and theology (as has at times been claimed), for the most part he remains true to Scriptural revelation. Furthermore, because of his trinitarian centre, and this imaginative approach he is able to offer penetrating insights into areas which plague the Church today. Among these, are his words of prophetic wisdom to deal with issues such as theological use of the imagination, feminism, diversity, materialism, the environment, the nature of humanity, death and life after death. His style is admittedly ponderous at times, as to be expected of a Victorian writer, but the wisdom he expressed as he stood under the Truth, may deepen theological understanding today.

Abstract:

During Jesus' earthly ministry He taught the pure doctrine of corporeal resurrection to His disciples. Some of them became special witnesses to the literal bodily resurrection of Jesus after His death. Over time, men's philosophies perverted the true doctrine of the resurrection. Those teachings became the orthodoxy of the early Christian church and were handed down to modern Christianity. The pure doctrine of corporeal resurrection was weakened, and in some sects, was lost.The Lord restored the gospel through Joseph Smith. Part of the Restoration qualified him as a special witness of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through him pure doctrines were restored. One of those doctrines was the Resurrection and its importance to eternal man.
