Lobpreis- und Anbetungslieder – Eine kritisch-würdigende Analyse der aktuellen Hillsong-Lieder / Praise and worship songs : a critical analysis of popular Hillsong songsEhlebracht, Simon 10 1900 (has links)
Text in German with summaries in German and English / Die Masterarbeit untersucht die 20 meist gespielten Hillsong-Lieder aus dem Jahre
2016 in Deutschland. Untersuchte Aspekte sind die Hauptthemen der Liedtexte, die
Sänger- / Adressat-Perspektive, die Einordnung in das gesamtbiblische Narrativ sowie
die Funktionen der Lieder innerhalb des Gottesdienstes. Anhand dieser Aspekte
wird der Kritik, die an die Lieder gerichtet wird, begegnet. Kritisiert wird unter anderem
die theologische Substanzlosigkeit der Lieder, das verzerrte Gottesbild, fehlende
Themen wie Leid, Klage, Soziale Gerechtigkeit oder die Fokussierung auf das
Individuum anstatt auf Gott.
Die Arbeit weist nach, dass die Kritik an mangelndem Inhalt gerechtfertigt ist. Die
Lieder kommunizieren darüber hinaus ein einseitiges Gottesbild, das Jesus im Fokus
hat. Es wird dargestellt, dass die Themen Leid, Klage und Soziale Gerechtigkeit
unterrepräsentiert sind. Auf der grammatikalischen Ebene weisen die Lieder einen
starken Fokus auf das Individuum auf. Durch die Untersuchung der Funktionen wird
jedoch gezeigt, dass die meisten Lieder trotz einer Ich-Perspektive stark gemeinschaftsstiftend
sind. Das liegt vor allem an der koinonialen Funktionen sowie der
Kombinationen von diakonischer und seelsorgerlicher Funktion mancher Lieder.
Neben diesen Funktionen übernehmen die Lieder oft noch die kerygmatische, missionarische
und pädagogische Funktion. / The master thesis examines the 20 most played Hillsong songs from 2016 in Germany.
Aspects examined are the main themes of the lyrics, the singer-/ addressee
perspective, the classification into the biblical narrative as well as the functions of
the songs within the worship service. Based on these aspects, the criticism directed
at the songs is met. Criticized are, among other things, the theological lack of substance
of the songs, the distorted image of God, missing topics like suffering, lamentation,
social justice or the focus on the individual instead of God.
The work proves that the criticism of lack of content is justified. In addition, the
songs communicate a one-sided image of God that strongly focuses on Jesus as
an addressee. It shows that the issues of suffering, lamentation and social justice
are underrepresented. On the grammatical level, the songs have a strong focus on
the individual. Examining the functions, however, shows that most of the songs,
despite a first-person perspective, are strongly community-building. This is mainly
due to the koinonial function and the combinations of diaconal and pastoral function
of some songs. In addition to these functions, the songs often take on the kerygmatic,
missionary and pedagogical function / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)

Markus syn på blindhet : Analys av en metafor, dess funktion och dysfunktionSernheim, Jacob January 2015 (has links)
This essay examines the theme of blindness in the Gospel of Mark. The two main questions asked are: 1) “What is Mark’s view on blindness?” and 2) “How does the Gospel of Mark’s view on blindness inform the current discourse of disability studies and how can we interpret Mark’s view on blindness today?” By the methods of metaphor analysis and character analysis, four passages of the Gospel are studied (Mark 4:10-12; 8:14-21; 22-26; 10:46-52). The analysis concludes that blindness is depicted by the author of the Gospel as a disability which also consist of a lack of cognitive ability and a hopeless state that is in need of healing. The depiction of blindness in Mark originates out of the authors use of blindness as a metaphor for lack of cognitive ability (Mk 4:12; 8:18) and the lack of characterization of the blind man at Bethsaida (8:22-23). This view on blindness is, in comparison to a modern view, difficult, as it marginalizes persons with blindness as inconsiderate and not fully human. The view of blindness is somewhat nuanced, however, by the fuller characterization of Bartimaeus (10:46-52). The essay then discusses, in dialogue with disability studies, the complexity of Mark’s uses of blindness as a metaphor and of the difficulties of our modern, often generalized, views of blindness in antiquity and how the view of blindness in Marks gospel both constructs and deconstructs blindness as a disability.

Luke/Acts and the end of historyCrabbe, Kylie January 2016 (has links)
This thesis investigates how understandings of history in diverse texts of the Graeco-Roman period illuminate Lukan eschatology. Two strands of Lukan scholarship have contributed to an enduring tendency to underestimate the centrality of eschatology to Luke/Acts. Hans Conzelmann's thesis, that Luke focused on history rather than eschatology as a response to the parousia's delay, has dominated Lukan scholarship since the mid-twentieth century, with concomitant assumptions about Luke's politics and understanding of suffering. Recent Lukan scholarship has centred instead on genre and rhetoric, examining Luke/Acts predominantly in relation to ancient texts deemed the same genre while overlooking themes (including those of an eschatological character) that these texts do not share. This thesis offers a fresh approach. It illuminates the inherent connections between Luke's understanding of history and its end, and demonstrates significant ways in which Luke's eschatological consciousness shapes key themes of his account. By extending comparisons to a wider range of texts, this study overcomes two clear methodological shortfalls in current research: limiting comparisons of key themes to texts of similar genre, and separating non-Jewish from Jewish texts. Having established the need for a new examination of Luke's eschatology in Chapter 1, in Chapter 2 I set out the study's method of comparing diverse texts on themes that cut across genres. Chapters 3 to 6 then consider each key text and Luke/Acts in relation to a different aspect of their writers' conceptions of history: the direction and shape of history; determinism and divine guidance; human culpability and freedom; and the present and the end of history. The analysis shows that in every aspect of history examined, Luke/Acts shares significant features of the texts with which, because they do not share its genre, it is not normally compared. Setting Luke/Acts in conversation with a broader range of texts highlights Luke's periodised, teleological view of history and provides a nuanced picture of Luke's understanding of divine and human agency, all of which is affected in fundamental ways by his portrayal of the present time already within the final period of history. As a result, this study not only clarifies Lukan eschatology, but reaffirms the importance of eschatology for Lukan politics and theodicy.

South africa's axial religious transformation: the utilization of the axial Hebrew prophets' response models in the revision of South Africa's maladaptive pre-axial response modelsKrawitz, Lilian 31 March 2007 (has links)
This study searches for the origin and history of the concept of individual accountability and the reason for its absence in the African Traditional Religion framework. This search begins in the Axial Age (800-200 BCE), and discusses ancient Israel's Axial Age and its Axial Hebrew prophets' response models. The study tracks the introduction of Axial ideals to South Africa, via Christianity since 1826, and examines the Xhosa prophets' response models to their Axial context. The Social Christians attempts to impart Axial ideals during the period of segregation and the Tuskegeean response model are also examined. The similarities between ancient Israel and South Africa as revealed by Biblical archaeology, underlie this study's call for the utilisation of the power of religions such as Christianity, and of South Africa's religious elite, to rapidly alter current maladaptive beliefs within the African Traditional religious framework that impedes Africans' ability to adopt individual accountability. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M. A. (Biblical Archaeolgy)

The idea of truth as the revelation of covenant faithfulness in the Gospel of JohnRoberts, Michael David 30 November 2003 (has links)
This study is concerned with the need to investigate the Johannine idea of truth in the context of the Old Testament background, with the stated aim of showing how this conception of truth could still reach those outside the boundary of Judaism. This thesis needs to be set within the larger framework of revelation. The revelation of God in the Old Testament pointed to God's final and fullest revelation given in his Son. And because Jesus is indeed the truth, as he himself explicitly claimed, it necessarily follows that every portion of this revelation is true and reliable in every way. Moreover, because this revelation has been given, there is the need for those to serve as witnesses to it. These witnesses, both divine and human, are themselves revelation by virtue of their divine origin and their consequent inclusion as part of the overall New Testament witness to Jesus.
Chapter one addresses those introductory matters relevant for understanding John's unique view of truth. There are two aspects to this view of truth as centered in Jesus: Jesus as the revelation of truth, and Jesus as the revealer of truth. Truth is the person and work of Jesus, and chapter two treats the first aspect in discussing eight ideas that explain this view of truth. The second aspect is the focus of chapter three. Because truth comes only from God, it must be revealed since human beings cannot understand it on their own. In order for this revelation to be received, witnesses are needed to testify to it. Hence, in John truth and revelation cannot be separated, and witnesses must testify to this revelation as the truth of God. Because Jesus is both the revealer and the revelation itself, he is therefore the preeminent witness precisely because his is a self-authenticating witness that receives the Father's affirmation. The last chapter applies this theological foundation using three ideas that are specifically connected with the word "truth": abiding, sanctification, and worship. Truth is more than intellectual acquirement; it is living one's life in love and service of God and others. / New Testament / D. Th (New Testament)

"Promise of power" : an analysis of Bible Life Ministries in BotswanaBorn, Jacob Bryan 11 1900 (has links)
In a manner similar to other countries on the African continent, Botswana has witnessed the explosive growth of new Pentecostal churches. These churches are most often distinguished by their recent origins, focus on the prosperity gospel and spiritual deliverance ministries. In this study, one specific church, Bible Life Ministries, in the capital city of Gaborone, was researched in an effort to understand
its great appeal. I have proposed that their rapid growth is a result of their "promise of power" - spiritual power that provides individuals with temporal results such as health, wealth and control over one's environment. Faced with the rapid changes brought about by external forces such as urbanization and globalization, these churches are deliberately seeking to bridge western and Setswana culture in an
effort to contextualize the gospel for contemporary Batswana. Of major missiological concern is whether or not the gospel message has been distorted in this process. / Church Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th. (Missiology)

MILITÄRISCHE METAPHORIK IM CORPUS PAULINUM: EINE UNTERSUCHUNG ZU VORKOMMEN UND BEDEUTUNG / Military metaphor in the Corpus Paulinum : an investigation into its occurence and meaningNell, Mathias Werner 09 1900 (has links)
Summaries in German and English / Die vorliegende Studie setzt sich mit der militärischen Metaphorik im Corpus Paulinum im Blick
auf deren Vorkommen und Bedeutung auseinander. Es zeigt sich, dass sich die militärische Rede
und deren Anwendungsbereich im Corpus Paulinum über alle dreizehn Briefe hinweg, die der
Reihe nach ihrer wahrscheinlichen chronologischen Abfassungsfolge entsprechend analysiert
werden, zu entwickeln scheint: dienen militärische Motive anfangs noch vorwiegend als
Vergleichsmomente, so werden sie im weiteren Verlauf der Briefchronologie zunehmend
identifizierend eingesetzt. Thematisch verwendet Paulus militärische Redeweise insbesondere zur
Schaffung und Wahrung von Einheit in der Gemeinde auf Grund gemeinsamer Identität sowie um
sich und die Gemeinde als »Mithineingenommene« in den transzendenten, eschatologischen
Kampf gegen Satan zu verstehen und praktisch zu verorten bzw. anzuleiten. Das Evangelium
selbst ist umkämpft, was daher auch die Missionstätigkeit des Paulus bzw. der Gemeinde als eine
geistlich-militärische Mission verstehen lässt. Als »echte Metaphern« können die militärischen
Metaphern bei Paulus weder verlustfrei ersetzt noch aufgelöst werden. / The study deals with military metaphors in the Corpus Paulinum with regard to their occurrence
and significance. It turns out that the military speech and its scope of application in the Corpus
Paulinum seems to evolve across all thirteen letters, which are analyzed in sequence according to
their probable chronological order: if military motifs serve as comparative moments at first, they
are increasingly used identically in the further course of the letter chronology. The use of military
speeches in particular serves the purpose of creating and maintaining unity in the community on
the basis of a common identity, and in order to understand and guide the community in a
transcendent, eschatological struggle against Satan. The Gospel itself is contested, which also
explains the missionary activity of Paul as a spiritual-military mission. As »real metaphors«,
Paul's military metaphors can neither be replaced or dissolved without loss. / New Testament / M. Th. (New Testament)

Das schriftgemässe Evangelium des Paulus nach dem Zeugnis des Römerbriefes: Funktionalität und Legitimität des Schriftgebrauches = Paul's gospel according to Scripture: Paul's use of the Old Testament in his letter to the Romans : the function and legitimacy of Paul's use of ScriptureLindorfer, Marco 10 1900 (has links)
In the presentation of his Gospel in his letter to the Romans Paul often quotes from the Old
Testament. This indicates the functional significance of the OT as the foundation of Paul´s
argumentation. However, is Paul´s use of Scripture legitimate? Does Paul change and
misinterpret Scripture to fit his own ends? If Paul´s argumentation with Scripture follows
contemporary, legitimate early Jewish methods of interpretation, then he could be cleared of
the charge of manipulatively changing and interpreting Scripture. This thesis examines the
textual basis of these quotations, the interpretive methods employed and the function of
such quotations for Paul´s argumentation. The results suggest that Paul has not
manipulated the textual basis. He employs the interpretive techniques of early Judaism and
refers to Scripture mainly to affirm his presentation of the Gospel. A final section raises the
issue what contemporary Biblical studies might learn from Paul´s use of Scripture. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.Th.(New Testament)
