Amen in Old Testament liturgical texts : a study of its meaning and later development as a plea for ecumenical understandingFlor, Elmer Nicodemo 11 1900 (has links)
Amen is the Hebrew word best known and most widely used in world religions even today. Its
importance as a meaningful expression throughout biblical texts is given thorough study as well
as its transmission throughout religious history. It has been transliterated and integrated into
the prayers and liturgy of about every Christian church.
In this thesis amen is traced down to its usage in Old Testament texts selected according to
their liturgical setting. After examining the three sets of texts, progressive development stages
have been produced. The first text of Deuteronomy 27 was basically a ceremony of civil nature
for a Covenant commitment. All tribes of Israel were present and the amen response was
stipulated to confirm their allegiance to Yahweh and to acknowledge the curses threatened.
The second stage in the development of amen in Old Testament worship is an expected, not
stipulated response to answer a doxology or a prayer. At this stage amen was pronounced by
the worshipping congregation in cultic situations in general, particularly in the Psalms. A third
and more developed liturgical response can be found in the spontaneous double amen spoken
by the returnees from exile gathered for the reading of the Law session at Nehemiah's time.
Amen had become a thriving force and a joyful outburst - not demanded, not simply expected,
but spontaneous in the believers' response to Yahweh's guidance and love.
The New Testament and Christians of all times inherited and adopted the same Hebrew word and sound of amen as confirmation and praise. A proposal is made in this study to set amen as
a causal connection with the One who loved mankind first. The proposed derivation of amen from the Hiphil Imperative remits its origin to a causative plea, and persuades people to believe
in what they have just heard or said, namely, that Jesus Christ is God's amen for the salvation
of all mankind. Christians of all times and places should join in the praise of God through the
same faith in His Amen. Thus amen becomes a binding concept for ecumenical understanding. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / D. Th. (Old Testament)

Die transformerende wisselwerking tussen die liturgie van die erediens en die liturgie van die lewe / deur Stephanus Petrus van der SchyffVan der Schyff, Stephanus Petrus January 2008 (has links)
λειτουργία denotes all the religious acts and activities of worship performed by Christians during the worship service and in life. The aim of this study was to determine the nature of the interactive relationship between the liturgy of the worship service and the liturgy of a Scripture driven life. The central theoretical argument of the study was that this relationship is dynamic and transforming.
Basic theoretical perspectives were formulated in Section A. The comprehensive conclusion attained in this section was that the liturgy of the worship service and the liturgy of life is an undividable unit consisting of differentiate elements.
Meta-theoretical perspectives were formulated in Section B. These principles were drawn from research done relating to postmodernism, the effects of the post-94 transformation in South Africa on previously advantaged South African Christians and empirical research. The perspectives indicated that the praxis of life impacted directly on the liturgy of the worship service.
The conclusions reached in both Sections A and B lead to the final conclusion that the nature of the interactive relationship between the liturgy of the worship service and the liturgy of life is dynamic and transforming.
It was further indicated by the research that the interactive relationship between the liturgy of the worship service and the liturgy of life reflected the broken reality of our sin-corrupted world. Hence an adjusted practical theory and accompanying practical theoretical model were developed to aid the alignment of the praxis as indicated by the meta-theoretical perspectives with the Scriptural ideal purported by the basis theoretical principles. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Liturgics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2008.

Etudes génomiques chez la poule : applications à la résistance au portage de salmonelles et la digestibilité / Genomic studies in the chicken : application to Salmonella carrier-state resistance and digestive efficiencyTran, Thanh-Son 09 September 2013 (has links)
Les protocoles de détection de QTL varient selon le modèle étudié, car ils dépendent de nombreux paramètres. Cette thèse s’est intéressée à la façon d’adapter ces protocoles à travers deux exemples de recherches de QTL chez la Poule, en utilisant deux méthodes statistiques différentes : maximum de vraisemblance (MV) et régression linéaire (RL), qui ont été comparées. Dans un premier temps, des QTLs de résistance au portage de salmonelles ont été identifiés, d’effets faibles et dont les positions varient selon la méthode utilisée. Dans un deuxième temps, des QTLs de caractères de digestibilité et d’anatomie du tube digestif ont été identifiés, avec des résultats semblables avec les deux méthodes. De nombreux QTLs d’effets faibles à modérés ont été identifiés. Les résultats de cette thèse montrent que la comparaison des deux méthodes est toujours utile et car dans certaines conditions les résultats obtenus diffèrent entre les deux méthodes. / The QTL detection protocols vary depending on the model studied, because they depend on many parameters. This thesis has focused on how to adapt these protocols through two examples of QTL detection in Chicken, using two different statistical methods: maximum likelihood (ML) and linear regression (LR), which results were compared on two examples. Initially, QTLs controlling resistance to Salmonella carrier-state have been identified, of small effects and whose positions vary according to the method. In a second step, QTLs controlling digestibility and anatomy of the gastro-intestinal tract were identified with similar results for both methods. Many QTLs of small to moderate effects were identified. The results of this thesis show that the comparison of the two methods is always helpful as under certain conditions the results may vary with the method.

Handskriftens materialitet : Studier i den fornsvenska samlingshandskriften Fru Elins bok (Codex Holmiensis D 3) / The Materiality of the Manuscript : Studies in Codex Holmiensis D 3, the Old Swedish Multitext Manuscript Fru Elins bokBackman, Agnieszka January 2017 (has links)
This dissertation contains a study of the multitext manuscript Codex Holmiensis D 3 based in Material Philology and its focus on the material conditions underlying manuscripts. The aim of the investigation is to describe D 3 in order to increase understanding of its material conditions including content and circumstance of copying, as well as its use and purpose. D 3 contains 14 text works in different genres, for example romances, chronicles, and edifying works. The paper manuscript in the format of a holster book has been dated through its watermarks to around 1487/1488. It was written for the noblewoman Elin Gustavsdotter (Sture). An older manuscript, Codex Holmiensis D 4a, has previously been identified as the exemplar of D 3. These manuscripts are very similar as regards language and content. However, it is shown here that D 4a could not have been the model for D 3 in the case of the romance Flores och Blanzeflor; nor can the manuscript as a whole be a copy of D 4a. There are few traces of use in D 3, but the first work, Herr Ivan Lejonriddaren, has several concluding texts before its final closing. These concluding texts suggest that parts of the work were being read while the rest was being copied. There are also dual quire signatures in this work, implying that the quires were in disarray, possibly because they were in use when the signatures were added. The purpose of D 3 was to educate and provide examples of good and bad behaviour for the nobility. Moreover, there is an owner-epilogue which also stresses courtly ideals and can be linked to the concept of exemplary behaviour. The contents can also be ordered thematically, with first a Carolingian connection, followed by one connected with Ireland and finally one focused on the Christian community. Codicological breaks divide the manuscript into two parts, which leads to the assumption of at least two common exemplars for D 3 and D 4a. An emphasis on the materiality of the manuscript reveals it to be not so much an unwieldy collection of unrelated text witnesses as a book created for a certain person and her time. / <p>Felaktigt ISBN i den tryckta versionen: 978-91-506-2618-6</p>

An ecclesiological analysis of the Church of God and Saints of Christ and its impact on Bulhoek massacreNgwanya, Richman Mzuxolile 08 1900 (has links)
A tragic massacre in May 1921, commonly referred to as the Bulhoek Massacre, was associated with the ecclesiology of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, founded by Enoch Mgijima. If it were not for the theology of eschatology that this church adhered to, the so-called Bulhoek Massacre would not have happened. The theology of eschatology which Mgijima was focussing on caused the ecclesiology of the amaSirayeli to be the victims of the circumstances.
Dulles defines ecclesiology as the church in the process of self actualisation. There is self understanding of worshippers. In the case of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, such self-understanding caused the Bulhoek Massacre. It is said that when people fervently believe in an Ultimate Being, whether such belief is a construction in their minds or a reality, then those people will be willing to defend their belief and die for, if it needs to be.
For such a believer, it is because of the hope for a better life in the future that they are willing to even defy earthly authorities. When that believer follows a voice of the supernatural, which is revealed only to him and sounds much louder, much clearer and more authoritative than human voices, it is then that he cannot be void. Such an authoritative voice may be transmitted either through ancestors, known as the living dead, or directly from the Supreme Being. In the case of the said church, it is both.
Secondly, an ecclesiology of the Church of God and Saints of Christ should be understood in the light of their mother church in America under the leadership of Crowdy the founder. Such ecclesiology should also be understood against the religious backdrop of the African Initiated Churches (AIC). These two factors, the mother church in America and the religion of the African Initiated Churches, will be the main components that drive this thesis, and thus illuminate the spark in the said church.
Owing to the proliferation of the African Initiated Churches in the continent of Africa, there is a wide speculation that Africa, of the 21st century, will be the centre of World Christianity. Whether this is just a dream or a reality remains to be realized. But the fact remains that, these churches continue to be a religious force that forms part of the church history in Africa.
While this thesis will constantly be referring to the 1921 events, an ecclesiology of the said church is a present phenomenon because the church survived the massacre and is still active today.
The two researchers, Robert Edgar from Los Angeles University in the USA, and Martin Mandew from the University of Natal, completed their doctoral theses on the Bulhoek Massacre. Edgar was researching on, The Fifth Seal. Enoch Mgijima, The amaSirayeli Bulhoek Massacre, 1921. Mandew concentrated on, War, Memory and Salvation, The Bulhoek Massacre and the Construction of a Contextual Soteriology.
Since both researchers come from a distance, and are unable to speak the language of the people they were researching, there were of obviously unfilled gaps in between. As mentioned about cultural differences, therefore, knowing the language of the worshippers makes a big difference. There needs some analysis of idiomatic expressions, enunciated and other formal and informal expressions that tend to be important during communication. However, I acknowledge their research programme but I will go further from their product.
This thesis examines the ecclesiology of this church and then relates it to the massacre where they were killed for their own beliefs. It is also important to analyse, as this thesis does, the church-state relations in South Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in order to establish how other religious bodies related to the governments of the said period. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.
