While a number of short articles and histories of Silver Reef have been written, they tend either to be anecdotal in character or to emphasize the merely sensational aspects of the mining camp. These writings have failed to investigate some of the most basic sources of information concerning this highly interesting mining epic in Southern Utah. Therefore, there remains a real need for a thoroughly researched and documented history of silver Reef - a need that this thesis tries to meet.

One of the major themes in the Book of Mormon is the promises of the Lord to the house of Israel. Even before Lehi and his family left the promised land, Lehi and Nephi prophesied of the future scattering and gathering of Israel. After the family of Lehi arrived on the Americas, prophets continued to teach about God’s covenants with Israel. The destiny of the house of Israel was a major theme in the books of 1 and 2 Nephi, and also at the end of the Book of Mormon in the teachings of Jesus Christ, Mormon, and Moroni.In Lehi’s prophecy about the house of Israel in 1 Nephi 10, he prophesied that the future remnants of the house of Israel would be scattered and then defined how they would be gathered together again. They would do so by coming to the knowledge of their Lord and Redeemer (see 1 Nephi 10:14, emphasis added). When teaching about the house of Israel, many prophets taught similar principles as Lehi. Additionally, many prophets—including Nephi, Jacob, Alma, Samuel, Jesus Christ, Mormon, and Moroni—alluded to Lehi’s same phrase when they taught about the house of Israel during their own ministries. In the various sermons about the covenants of God with the house of Israel, several prophecies and principles were repeated. All of the major writers on the plates knew that the remnant of Israel would be scattered. They also taught that in the latter days, the gospel would go forth first to the Gentiles, who would in turn gather the scattered remnants of Israel. The instrument and tool by which they would be gathered would be the writings of the Nephite prophets – the Book of Mormon. Most important, the Gentiles and house of Israel would be gathered by coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Redeemer. The Book of Mormon prophets understood these teachings and engraved them on the plates to come forth to the world in the latter days. This thesis surveys the teachings of the prophets in the Book of Mormon about the gathering of the house of Israel. It also discusses the allusions and references to Lehi’s prophecy about how the Gentiles and house of Israel will be gathered – by coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, their Lord and their Redeemer.

It has been nearly sixty years since the October 1943 Danish rescue of Danish Jewry. Since this time, no historian has examined the role that the timing of the planned Jewish round-up played in the degree of success of the rescue. Would a National Socialist round-up of the Danish Jews have been successful if it occurred in 1941 for example? As long as the Danish government was in power, no anti-Jewish measures were implemented in Denmark. Within a month of the Danish government's resignation, National Socialist plans to eliminate Danish Jewry were being drafted. This thesis examines the major events in Denmark that led to the resignation of the Danish government in August 1943, and the failed plan to round-up and deport the Danish Jews. The most important conclusion of this thesis is that to a significant degree, the Danish people were successful in their rescue of Danish Jews because of the timing of the anti-Jewish measures.

Para tanto, explicitarei que Tomás procede do seguinte modo: primeiro, estabelece um novo sentido para a noção de substância na SCG, II, 53-55, esta que, por sua vez, difere daquela que Tomás leu nos textos de Aristóteles, qual seja, a substância se constitui de matéria e forma. Nesse sentido, para demonstrar filosoficamente que a substância, além de gerada, também é criada, Tomás estabelece um novo componente na constituição da substância, além dos dois acima mencionados, a saber: o ato de ser. Segundo, analisarei como Tomás postula que esses componentes são realmente distintos na SCG, II, 52. Terceiro, investigarei porque esses componentes por serem distintos, todavia unidos numa relação, devem ser efeitos de uma causa eficiente. A partir desses três modos de investigação, a operação da causa eficiente tratada na SCG, II, 6; 15, e, ademais, o surgimento do efeito sustentado na SCG, II, 16-22, designa-se de criação / Abstract: This dissertation addresses how Thomas Aquinas holds that creation is philosophically demonstrable in his Summa contra gentiles, book II, chapters 6; 15-22; 52-55. In order to do so, it will be argued that Aquinas does it as follows: first, he establishes a new sense to the notion of substance in SCG, II, 53-55, which, in its own turn, differs from the one Aquinas could read in Aristotle's texts, i.e., that substance is composed by form and matter. In this sense, in order to philosophically demonstrate that the substance, besides being generated, is also created, Aquinas assumes a new feature in substance constitution, which is different from the two previously mentioned, namely, the act of being. Then I shall analyze how Aquinas postulates that those components are really distinct in SCG, II, 52. Third, it will be investigated why those components, for they are distinct although merged in a relation, should be the effect of an efficient cause. Having accomplished these three modes of inquiry, the operation of the efficient cause addressed at SCG, II, 6; 15, and also, the appearance of effect held in SCG, II, 16-22, is named creation / Mestrado / Filosofia / Mestre em Filosofia

In this dissertation, I explore to address the problem of the identity of Paul’s interlocutor(s) in Rom 1–3 and the subsequent issue of whether Paul only includes non-Jewish Gentiles as recipients of his gospel teaching. In order to deal with the research question in a linguistically informed manner, I draw from Systemic Functional Linguistics and use two related notions of cohesive chains and grammatical metaphor (nominalization). By applying both methods to the text, I identify twenty-three active cohesive chains and five most important instances of nominalization in the text. Based on the linguistic data elicited solely by examining the interaction patterns among the chains and by explicating the various textual effects that nominalization brings about, I conclude that the linguistic evidence points to the possibility that the interlocutor is an ethnically Jewish man and Paul thus does not exclude his fellow Jews from his presentation of the gospel in Rom 1–3.

This thesis is an investigation into the discrepancies that exist in textual interpretations within Pentacostalism, in view of the ongoing search for a viable hermeneutic model unique to Pentecostalism. Since its birth, the modern Pentecostal movement has been influenced by many other theological traditions, especially Covenant theology and Dispensationalism. Nevertheless, from this research it becomes clear that Pentecostalists themselves have contributed to the discrepancies by failing to distinguish between biblical passages related to national Israel and those related to the church. It is factual that cultural differences and theological backgrounds influence the interpretations ascribed to Scripture. Yet, this research found that scriptural interpretive discrepancies exist amongst Pentecostalists belonging to the same cultural group and same denomination. This study presents a new perspective on biblical interpretation for Pentecostalism, namely the Mediatorial View, which when consistently applied to all tectual interpretations, most certainly will reduce the number of discrepancies that exist. / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / M.

A perícope de Lucas 4.16-30 aparenta ser uma síntese literária e teológica do terceiro evangelho. A partir de uma releitura de uma perícope do evangelho de Marcos, de textos de Isaías e, eventualmente de outras fontes, Lucas transformou a tradição recebida em programa para o ministério de Jesus, com vistas aos destinatários de seu escrito. O trabalho está organizado em três capítulos: questões introdutórias, análise semântica da perícope e análise da intervenção redacional do evangelista no material recebido. Entre os temas que Lucas destaca através desse programa, está a oferta do evangelho aos pobres, a condução pelo Espírito Santo, a rejeição do evangelho na própria pátria e a abertura do evangelho aos gentios, temas que atravessam a dupla obra lucana. / The pericope of Luke 4: 16-30 seems to be a literary and theological synthesis of the third Gospel. Based on a rereading of a pericope of the Gospel of Mark, of texts from Isaiah and, eventually of other sources, Luke transforms the received tradition into a program for the ministry of Jesus aiming at the public of his writings. The work is organized into three chapters: introductory issues, semantic analysis of the pericope and an analysis of the redactional intervention of the evangelist in the material received. Among the themes which Luke highlights from this program is the offering of the Gospel to the poor, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the rejection of the Gospel in his own country and the opening of the Gospel to the gentiles, themes which pervade the two works of Luke.
