<p>The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the reader to the person and work of social philosopher and social theorist Jürgen Habermas. It introduces pertinent aspects of Habermas's biography, and surveys a portion of his library of writings. It then explains Habermas's communication theory, specifically his theory of communicative action. Then, Habermas's theory of discourse ethics is introduced and explicated. This thesis culminates with an examination of the appropriateness and applicability of Habermas's theory of discourse ethics for the development of a contemporary Christian ethic.</p> / Master of Divinity (M.Div)

<p>A majority of modem scholars understand Paul's use of creation language (κτίσιϛ) in Rom 8: 18-23 as part of a commentary on the state of sub-human creation. or nature-an understanding that is still disputed in some quarters. This position serves as a point of departure for an inquiry into the state of lexical study in New Testament scholarship. In light of contemporary approaches. this thesis articulates a theory of monosemy--a minimalistic semantic theory cast in the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics. This theory is fundamentally corpus-driven with a special focus upon metaphorical extension. The model is applied to Paul's use of creation-language through a robust corpus analysis and an investigation into κτίσιϛ's role in textual and ideational functions within the paragraph. I argue that κτίσιϛ plays a role in the cohesive structure of Rom 8:18-23 and-contra the majority of interpreters-functions as a nominalized ideational metaphor for the human body.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

With a deeper reflection on the case of Fr. Haibo Wang and based on my personal experience and research, this essay aims to explore the urgent need of continuing formation of priests in China by looking into the historical background of the Church in China and inadequate seminary formation; giving some theological reflections; and then suggesting a pastoral plan.
