Our research problem was: Which were the principal aspects of the Calvinist Presbyterian Educational Formation which influenced in the formation and history of life or some former students of the school institution? Starting from the ideas of the theologist and reformer João Calvino, who gave strong emphasis to the education as a way of evangelize and adjust the members of his church, that consequently caused a consequence of the Protestant Reformation of the century XVI, in Genève, Switzerland. His teaching were released by several of his adepts, called Calvinist, Who took his protestant philosophy to other countries of Europe and North American United States, where they received the name o Presbiterians. From America, the Presbyterian Church sent its missionaries to Pernambuco in Brazil and here in 1900 they organized a school inside this religious confession in the city of Garanhuns. In the life histories of the former students it was found out that the fundaments of this school organization were centered in two main axes. The religious teaching as form of propagation of protestant faith, and the teaching of secular subjects aiming the preparation of men and women to serve in the society, contributing for a good formation of dign citizen, prepared for the religious, familiar and professional life. The authors who inspired this research were: Calvino (2006), Paulo Freire (1989 E 2000), Weber (2004), Fernandez-Armesto and Wilson (1997), Ferreira (1990, Delors (2006), Vieira (2008) among others. / Este trabalho é resultante de uma pesquisa documental e de campo sobre as bases educacionais calvinistas oferecidas pelo Colégio XV de Novembro de Garanhuns/PE. Nosso problema de pesquisa foi: Quais foram os principais aspectos da formação educacional calvinista-presbiteriana que influenciaram na formação e história de vida de alguns ex-alunos dessa instituição escolar? Partimos das idéias do teólogo e reformador João Calvino, que deu forte ênfase à educação como forma de evangelizar e ajustar os membros da sua igreja, que por sua vez foi decorrente da Reforma Protestante do século XVI, em Genebra, na Suíça. Os seus ensinamentos foram divulgados por vários adeptos seus, chamados de calvinistas, que levaram sua filosofia protestante a outros países da Europa e Estados Unidos da América do Norte, onde receberam o nome de Presbiterianos. Da América, a Igreja Presbiteriana enviou seus missionários para Pernambuco no Brasil e aqui em 1900 eles organizaram um colégio dentro desta confissão religiosa na cidade de Garanhuns. Nas histórias de vida dos ex-alunos descobriu-se que os fundamentos dessa organização escolar foram centrados em dois eixos principais: o ensino religioso como forma de propagação da fé protestante, e o ensino de matérias seculares visando à preparação de homens e mulheres para servirem na sociedade, contribuindo dessa forma para uma boa formação de dignos cidadãos, preparados para a vida religiosa, familiar e profissional. Os autores que inspiraram esta pesquisa foram: Calvino (2006), Paulo Freire (1989 E 2000), Weber (2004), Fernandez-Armesto e Wilson (1997), Ferreira (2000), Delors (2006), entre outros.

12	Church and chapel : parish ministry and Methodism in Madeley, c.1760-1785, with special reference to the ministry of John Fletcher Wilson, David January 2010 (has links) This thesis examines the ministry of John Fletcher (1729-85), vicar of Madeley, Shropshire (vic. 1760-85) as a case study on the Church of England and Methodism in the eighteenth century. Studies of Fletcher have tended to focus either on his contribution to Methodist theology or on his designation as Wesley's successor as the leader of the Methodists. The parish of Madeley has been, for the most part, peripheral to Fletcher studies. The present thesis, however, has aimed to examine Fletcher in his parochial context; to study both what the parish tells us about Fletcher, but also what Fletcher tells us about the parish, and more specifically, about the church in the eighteenth century in a local context. The main argument of this thesis is that Fletcher's ministry at Madeley was representative of a variation of a pro-Anglican Methodism--localized, centred upon the parish church, and rooted in the Doctrines and Liturgy of the Church of England. Three recent publications have provided a triad for understanding Fletcher: (1) in his industrial context; (2) in his theological context; and (3), in his relationship with leaders in the Evangelical Revival. This thesis has sought to examine a fourth component: Fletcher's work as an ordained clergyman of the Church of England, that is, in his ecclesial and ministerial context. The main body of the thesis focuses on two primary aspects of Fletcher's parish ministry: his stated duties and his diligence in carrying out other responsibilities and meeting other needs which arose, including addressing the various tensions which developed during his incumbency. Fletcher's background and his call to parochial ministry as well as the religious history of Madeley are outlined first (Chapter 1). There are three chapters which examine his performance of stated duties: worship services and preaching (Chapter 2); pastoral care andeducation (Chapter 5); and confrontation of erroneous doctrine (Chapter 6). Fletcher's ministry also included a scheme of church extension, represented primarily by his development of religious societies on which other aspects of his parochial duty built (Chapter 3). His evangelicalism and commitment to his parish simultaneously raised tensions between Fletcher and his parishioners (provoked by his 'enthusiasm' or zeal), and between Fletcher and John Wesley, whose variations of Methodism had similar aims, but different models of practice. A chapter is devoted specifically to these issues (Chapter 4).Fletcher's chapel meetings formed an auxiliary arm of the church, operating as outposts throughout his parish. His parishioners considered his ministerial model a 'Methodist' one even though it was not technically part of Wesley's Connexion (other than the fact that his itinerants were guests in the parish). In all, it is the conclusion of this thesis that Fletcher's pastoral ministry represents some of the best work of Anglicanism in the eighteenth century, demonstrating that despite the manifest challenges of industrializing society, residual dissent, and competition from the church's rivals, the Establishment was not incapable of competing in the religious marketplace. 287

No. of bitstreams: 1 Wendell Lessa Vilela Xavier.pdf: 1219437 bytes, checksum: c1d7232e6b7314529de365142f2ae158 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-10-01 / Boanerges Ribeiro was, without doubt, one of the main thinkers of the Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil (IPB). The religious discourse he produced is a canvas in which the character and body painted become strong shades of the constitution of his ethos which, by its turn, limits the interaction of his discourse to a set of social fabric which are valued according to the image construed by the pathos. In face of such interaction, our research problem consists in knowing to which extent the boanergist religious discourse, pierced by a political-eclesiastic view, opens itself to a linguistic-ideologic-discursive relation with Calvinistic Reformed theology, derived from the hermeneutic of the Protestant Reformation of the XVI century and reflected in the confessional documents of the IPB. The choice of the shape of the discourses speeches, sermons and lectures is justified by the fact that they reveal a very large range of terms that produce effects of religious meaning, what lets us conclude that the interdiscursivity is a constructive argumentation maneuver of the discourse, that causes the biblical discourse to be one of the arguing basis to establish a relation of truth between the one that enunciates and the enunciatary. The discourse analysis, the rhetoric and semiotic serve as theoretical foundation in this research and aims to open for one studying the Portuguese idiom and for the analyst of the discourse, fields of several discursive theories, but without letting him miss, obviously, the foundational and particular previous conditions of each of these theories, represented by his or her object of research and by methodological techniques / Boanerges Ribeiro foi, sem dúvida, um dos maiores pensadores da Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil (IPB). O discurso religioso produzido por ele é um quadro no qual o caráter e a corporalidade pintados se tornam fortes matizes de constituição do seu ethos que, por sua vez, limita a interação discursiva a um conjunto de tecidos sociais que são valorados conforme a imagem construída pelo pathos. Diante dessa interação, nosso problema de pesquisa consiste em saber até que ponto o discurso religioso boanergista, atravessado por uma visão políticoeclesiástica, se abre a uma relação lingüístico-ideológico-discursiva com a teologia calvinista reformada, oriunda do movimento hermenêutico da Reforma Protestante do século XVI, e refletida nos documentos confessionais da IPB. A escolha das formas de discursos palestras, sermões e preleções se justifica pelo fato de que eles revelam um espectro bastante grande de termos que produzem efeitos de sentido religioso, o que nos permite concluir que a interdiscursividade é uma manobra de argumentação construtiva de discurso, que faz com que o discurso bíblico seja um dos suportes argumentativos para estabelecer uma relação de verdade entre o enunciador e o enunciatário. A Análise do Discurso, a Retórica e a Semiótica servem como fundamentação teórica nesta pesquisa e têm como objetivo abrir para o estudioso de língua portuguesa e para o analista de discurso campos de teorias discursivas diversas, sem deixá-lo perder, obviamente, os pré-requisitos fundamentais e particulares de cada uma das teorias, representados por seus objetos de pesquisa e por suas técnicas metodológicas Boanerges Ribeiro Teologia Calvinista Retórica Semiótica Discurso religioso Discurso bíblico Analise do discurso Igreja Presbiteriana Calvinismo Boanerges Ribeiro Calvinist theology Discourse analysis Rhetoric Semiotic Religious discourse Biblical discourse
14	Daniel Featley and Calvinist conformity in early Stuart England Salazar, Gregory Adam January 2018 (has links) This thesis examines the life and works of the English Calvinist clergyman Daniel Featley (1582-1645) through the lens of various printed and manuscript sources, especially his manuscript notebooks in Oxford. It links his story and thought to the broader themes of early Stuart religious, political, and intellectual history. Chapter one analyses the first thirty- five years of Featley’s life, exploring how many of the features that underpin the major themes of Featley’s career—and which reemerged throughout his life—were formed and nurtured during Featley’s early years in Oxford, Paris, and Cornwall. There he emerges as an ambitious young divine in pursuit of preferment; a shrewd minister, who attempted to position himself within the ecclesiastical spectrum; and a budding polemicist, whose polemical exchanges were motivated by a pastoral desire to protect the English Church. Chapter two examines Featley’s role as an ecclesiastical licenser and chaplain to Archbishop George Abbot in the 1610s and 1620s. It offers a reinterpretation of the view that Featley was a benign censor, explores how pastoral sensitivities influenced his censorship, and analyses the parallels between Featley’s licensing and his broader ecclesiastical aims. Moreover, by exploring how our historiographical understandings of licensing and censorship have been clouded by Featley’s attempts to conceal that an increasingly influential anti- Calvinist movement was seizing control of the licensing system and marginalizing Calvinist licensers in the 1620s, this chapter (along with chapter 7) addresses the broader methodological issues of how to weigh and evaluate various vantage points. Chapters three and four analyse the publications resulting from Featley’s debates with prominent Catholic and anti-Calvinist leaders. These chapters examine Featley’s use of patristic tradition in these disputes, the pastoral motivations that underpinned his polemical exchanges, and how Featley strategically issued these polemical publications to counter Catholicism and anti-Calvinism and to promulgate his own alternative version of orthodoxy at several crucial political moments during the 1620s and 1630s. Chapter five focuses on how, in the 1620s and 1630s, the themes of prayer and preaching in his devotional work, Ancilla Pietatis, and collection of seventy sermons, Clavis Mystica, were complementary rather than contradictory. It also builds on several of the major themes of the thesis by examining how pastoral and polemical motivations were at the heart of these works, how Featley continued to be an active opponent—rather than a passive bystander and victim—of Laudianism, and how he positioned himself politically to avoid being reprimanded by an increasingly hostile Laudian regime. Chapter six explores the theme of ‘moderation’ in the events of the 1640s surrounding Featley’s participation at the Westminster Assembly and his debates with separatists. It focuses on how Featley’s pursuit of the middle way was both: a self-protective ‘chameleon- like’ survival instinct—a rudder he used to navigate his way through the shifting political and ecclesiastical terrain of this period—and the very means by which he moderated and manipulated two polarized groups (decidedly convictional Parliamentarians and royalists) in order to reoccupy the middle ground, even while it was eroding away. Finally, chapter seven examines Featley’s ‘afterlife’ by analysing the reception of Featley through the lens of his post-1660 biographers and how these authors, particularly Featley’s nephew, John Featley, depicted him retrospectively in their biographical accounts in the service of their own post-restoration agendas. By analysing how Featley’s own ‘chameleon-like’ tendencies contributed to his later biographers’ distorted perception of him, this final chapter returns to the major methodological issues this thesis seeks to address. In short, by exploring the various roles he played in the early Stuart English Church and seeking to build on and contribute to recent historiographical research, this study sheds light on the links between a minister’s pastoral sensitivities and polemical engagements, and how ministers pursued preferment and ecclesiastically positioned themselves, their opponents, and their biographical subjects through print.
15	Embryo Adoption: Implications of Personhood, Marriage, and Parenthood McMillen, Brooke Marie 14 April 2008 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / One’s personal claims regarding personhood will influence his moral belief regarding embryo adoption. In Chapter One, I consider the personhood of the human embryo. If the human embryo is a person, we are morally obligated to permit the practice of embryo adoption as an ethical means to save human persons. However, for those who do not claim that an embryo is a person at conception, embryo adoption is not a necessary practice because we have no moral obligation to protect them. There are still others who claim that personhood is gained at some point during gestation when certain mental capacities develop. I offer my own claim that consciousness and sentience as well as the potential to be self-conscious mark the beginning of personhood. Embryo adoption raises several questions surrounding the institution of marriage. Due to its untraditional method of procreation, embryo adoption calls into question the role of procreation within marriage. In Chapter Two, I explore the nature of the marriage relationship by offering Lisa Cahill’s definition of marriage which involves both a spiritual and physical dimension, and then I describe the concept of marriage from different perspectives including a social, religious, and a personal perspective. From a personal perspective, I explore the relationship between marriage and friendship. Finally, I describe how the concept of marriage is understood today and explore the advantages to being married as opposed to the advantages of being single. Embryo adoption changes the way we customarily think about procreation within a family because in embryo adoption, couples are seeking an embryo from another union to be implanted into the woman. This prompts some philosophers to argue that embryo adoption violates the marriage relationship. In Chapter Three, I further consider the impact of embryo adoption on the family as an extension of the marital relationship as well as the impact of embryo adoption on the traditional roles of motherhood and fatherhood. I examine motherhood by looking at how some philosophers define motherhood and when these philosophers claim a woman becomes a mother. After considering these issues regarding motherhood, I examine the same issues surrounding fatherhood.
