'n Kritiese evaluering van die beraad van Jay E. Adams vanuit 'n PinksterperspektiefTesta, René Maria 23 August 2012 (has links)
M.Th. / The counseling' of Jay E Adams must be seen against the background of the rise of the Pastoral Care Movement and, together with it, the propagating of the eductive method of counseling which lays excessive emphasis on the needs of man and the inner potential of man to arrive at a solution of his own problems. Against a humanistic form of counseling, Adams stresses in particular the Scriptures as the counselor's textbook, and the role of sin in human suffering. His counseling has been judged and criticised in various circles, frequently without adequate substantiation or a satisfactory alternative. This dissertation is aimed at researching Adams' counseling thoroughly so that an alternative can be offered from a pentecostal perspective. First a comprehensive exposition was given of the core elements of Adams' counseling, that served as a foundation to discuss the positive and negative criticism of his work. The paradigms underpinning pentecostal thinking in general was also discussed, as the argument in this study was based on a pentecostal framework. Among other things the nature of man, the love and mercy of God, sin and the role of evil were examined. The author feels that no one specific model or technique of counseling can be promoted. Every person and every situation is unique. Therefore every counseling session will also be unique. For this reason it was decided to give guidelines rather than develop a model. Pentecostal counseling was approached from the perspective of systems-thinking and communicative action theory but was also directed by basic assumptions, among other things, that Jesus Christ is the centre of every counseling session (through the operation of the Holy Spirit) and that the congregation as a whole is the object of counseling. Finally the conclusion was reached that pentecostal counseling could definitely find common ground with the counseling of Jay E Adams, with certain adjustments based on pentecostal paradigms.

Bertolt Brecht and the BibleBaker, Clara Martha 01 January 1985 (has links)
This thesis presents evidence which supports Bertolt Brecht's oft-quoted statement that the Bible was the book which exerted the greatest influence upon his writings. While Brecht's early works, Die Bibel (1913), and Die Dreigroschenoper (1928), serve as the main examples, there are also references to biblical allusions from a number of his other writings and some of his poetry. There is general information on Brecht's religious background and en his extensive biblical knowledge which enabled him to use the Bible as one of his principal sources. Brecht's manner of usage and adaptation of religious and biblical material to suit his purposes is noted. As well, a consideration of the views and findings of a number of critics and writers with an interest in Brecht both as an individual and as a writer and poet, provides a degree of clarification of Brecht's approach to the Bible. Included too is sane detail which could posit the Bible as a possible catalyst in Brecht's examination of Marxism as a viable alternative to religion in meeting the needs and aspirations of mankind and of society.

"Ce ne sont pas la chair et le sang..." : les conditions bibliques de l'élaboration de l'élection dans la pratique des Exercices spirituels d'Ignace de LoyolaGrondin, Christian 20 April 2018 (has links)
Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2013-2014. / Depuis 1976, le Centre de spiritualité Manrèse de Québec (CSM) s'est affirmé comme une école originale au service du renouveau des Exercices spirituels d'Ignace de Loyola. Sur la toile de fond de son appréhension des Exercices comme un paradigme biblique de l'expérience spirituelle, deux éléments de sa pratique d'accompagnement se détachent : une option préférentielle pour les Exercices dans la vie courante (EVC) faits en groupe, et une interprétation de l'élection axée sur la révélation d'un « nom nouveau » porteur de « l'identité spirituelle personnelle » du sujet exercitant. La présente thèse se met à l'écoute des conditions bibliques de l'élaboration de l'élection dans le cadre de la pratique du CSM. L'originalité de cette recherche se manifeste dans un travail de lecture sémiotique des trois « textes » constitutifs de cette pratique : le texte des Exercices spirituels - normatif, le texte de la tradition herméneutico-pédagogique du Centre Manrèse, et le texte des récits de sujets ayant vécu les EVC au CSM. L'analyse du texte ignatien met d'abord en lumière la présence d'un quatrième texte, celui des évangiles, notamment Le 2,41-52, posé comme un métalangage donnant forme à l'élection et à l'ensemble de l'oeuvre des Exercices. Il apparaît alors que la figure ignatienne de l'élection, structuralement biblique, assume l'ordre théologal de la filiation, institué dans le Verbe trinitaire et inextricablement lié à la figure de l'humilité du Christ de la passion. Des consonances et des dissonances significatives, du point de vue de la mise en discours de l'élection, se font dès lors entendre entre le texte ignatien et les deux autres textes, témoins de la pratique spécifique du CSM. Il s'ensuit un essai de réinterprétation de l'élection, dont la clé biblique est un acte de nomination dans le Verbe filial et pascal, et une proposition de réforme de la pratique EVC, centrée sur la lecture biblique en groupe. Plus largement, ces considérations théologiques relatives à l'élection et à l'accompagnement spirituel ignatien interrogent les pratiques de la parole dans l'Église. Elles ouvrent le chemin d'une spiritualité de sujets de la Parole, une spiritualité élaborée par et pour le peuple de Dieu.

Metaphorical expressions of biblical and sacral origin in Russian secular literary texts, with reference to their English equivalentsYaverbaum, Oksana Vladimirovna 06 1900 (has links)
In this dissertation, I examine metaphorical expressions of biblical and sacral origin (bibleisms) that occur in Russian narrative literary texts. The interpretation of bibleisms is carried out within the framework of interaction
theories of metaphor, making it possible to account for the use of bibleisms in Modern Russian, and for the role of their original meanings in the development of their new metaphorical associations. This is viewed as a set
of intertextual relationships between the biblical and sacral texts, the Modern Russian language and the literary texts in which the expressions occur. Different types of metaphor are distinguished in terms of interaction
theory. This has implications for the translation of bibleisms. It is demonstrated that in different interactive situations, the same bibleism can be referred to different types of metaphor, and hence the translation
procedure may only be determined by taking into account the metaphorical language in each individual case. / Afrikaans & Theory of Literature / M.A. (Theory of Literature)

The illustrated children's Bible as cultural text in the construction of Afrikaner national identityBarnard, Louis H. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil(Visual Arts. Illustration))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / This thesis is a critical analysis of Afrikaans illustrated children’s Bibles as cultural texts
in Afrikaner nationalist discourse. Christian Calvinism was a distinct signifier in
Afrikaner nationalism and served as an instrument in the construction of Afrikaner
national identity. I propose in this study that Afrikaans children’s Bibles encoded the
principles of Afrikaner nationalism and were used as didactic tools for the configuration
of an exclusive national consciousness. A potential pitfall in the analysis of Afrikaans
children’s Bibles as nationalist texts is the fact that these books were translated from
Dutch or English into Afrikaans. However, the act of translating the Bible, ‘the Word of
God’, into Afrikaans served to confirm the ‘totem’ of Afrikaner Christian-Nationalism.
The appropriation of the Bible re-contextualized the ‘Holy Scriptures’, placing them
within the milieu of Afrikaner national identity and consciousness: language and religion
thus became interrelated catalysts in the social construction of Afrikaner national
consciousness. Finally, my own reinvention of the Afrikaans picture Bible – in opposition
to conventional illustrated children’s Bibles – is put forward and discussed as a
postmodern text that encodes a radically different post-Apartheid conception of identity.
