This dissertation is about the ways David Foster Wallace's writing expresses Buddhist philosophy. Because Buddhism is a vast subject, sometimes I conflate several traditional "Buddhisms" into a common-denominator form, while other times I investigate Wallace's work through Zen Buddhism specifically. By close-reading his work in chronological order--starting with The Broom of the System, Girl With Curious Hair, "The Empty Plenum," Infinite Jest, "Roger Federer as Religious Experience," "The Suffering Channel," and The Pale King--I analyze the ways in which Wallace's writing focused on questions of the self-awareness of linguistic expression, the contemporary causes of addiction and suffering and their implied remedy, the ethical and moral implications of living out of self-consciousness, the principles of mutual causality, "co-arising" and ecological well-being, and the discernment of multiple forms of awareness, all of which are foundational concerns shared with Buddhist philosophy. / text

This dissertation examines the impact of Martyn Lloyd-Jones' medical training upon his homiletical methodology. Chapter 1 sets forth the thesis and charts the course forward. Chapter 2 reconstructs the intellectual culture of Lloyd-Jones' youth, both at home and at school. It also introduces the most significant intellectual influence in Lloyd-Jones' early life, his medical chief Thomas Horder. Chapter 3 reconstructs the decade that Lloyd-Jones spent at Saint Bartholomew's Hospital with an emphasis on both the institutional context and the educational content of his medical training. Chapter 4 moves into the central focus of the dissertation, demonstrating how his medical training shaped his homiletical practice. In this chapter Lloyd-Jones' definition of preaching is expounded. After clearly defining what preaching is, Chapter 5 demonstrates how Lloyd-Jones went about doing it. It focuses on his sermons in general, while Chapter 6 focuses on his actual preparation and delivery of sermons. Chapter 7 investigates how Lloyd-Jones' medical training shaped his pastoral ministry in a more general fashion by demonstrating that in all of his ministerial activities he was always `The Doctor.' And Chapter 8 offers some concluding reflections.
