The term liturgy itself has many expressions in the Old Testament, New Testament, and in English. Among them the liturgy is used as the term that can be applied to all forms of public worship. There are some elements such as preaching, sacrament, prayer et al., in the liturgy. The liturgy was started from Eden in the Old Testament, the liturgy was continued as the form of altar in the Patriarchal age and by the tent and temple in Moses and king David’s ages. In the age of king David, the liturgy of confession of sin and honesty more than the moral perfection was emphasized. After the Diaspora, the synagogue became the place of liturgy of Israel. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ gave the meaning of another new liturgy through his Holy Supper. In early Christianity, the liturgy was the festival, sharing, and relief with the proclamation of the gospel of Christ’s resurrection and his Second coming, the baptism, offering, professing, and prayer. From the Second century the Lord’s Day liturgy was started. After the fourth century, there was some change until the seventh century in the Eastern Church, and all liturgical rites were fixed after the seventh century. In the Western Church, after the ninth century, the liturgical rite was unified by the Roman rite. At the end of the medieval age, the Mass was a play of priests, the believers were spectators. There was not a liturgy for God, and as well it was the starting point of Reformation. The Reformers rejected the Mass and the Transubstantiation of the Roman church, argued for the reformation of liturgy and the liturgy in the mother language. The greatest Reformer John Calvin claims that the object of the liturgy is only the glory to God, the Scripture and the tradition of the early church as the norm of public liturgical rite, the balance between the Word and Sacrament, the eternal and spiritual liturgy. In the European church, although the reformation of liturgy was started by the first Reformer Luther, nearly all churches in European countries got under Calvin’s influence soon. In Switzerland, Zwingli and Farel led the Reformation, and Geneva, under Calvin’s direction, became the most influential city. In the Anglican Church, the Mass became their liturgy till after the Reformation. In Germany, for thirty years many people had to spill blood for the freedom of liturgy. In Scotland, the reformation of liturgy was led by John Knox. Netherlands obtained freedom of liturgy after a long struggling under the conduct of William, Prince of Orange, In France, the Huguenots had to make many religious wars for getting the freedom of faith and liturgy. Francis Turretin is the greatest Orthodox Reformed theologian. He lived as a professor, minister and theologian in his days. He was a loyal successor of Reformer Calvin and a protector of the Orthodox theology in the seventeenth century, the epitomizer of Reformed theology, and the Scholastic theology. His immortal work, ‘Institutes of Elenctic Theology (Institutio Theologiae Elencticae)’, is the eminent illustration of the theology of the seventeenth century, and polemical. His scholastic theology is positively re-examined. With Turretin, the reason only serves for faith, it never possesses or surpasses the faith, God and his Word is the only basis of Turretin’s theology and liturgy. His theology also is in the Calvinism tradition. To Turretin, the liturgy is the higher school of God’s grace, the teaching in the liturgy, the communication with God, God’s commandment, the life itself, and the gospel liturgy by the spirit and truth. The liturgy of the Korean church was started by Underwood, the first missionary of Korea. In the early period of the Korean church, the Nevius methods influenced the Korean mission decisively. The first Directory of the Korean church was published by Moffett. The liturgical rites of the Free Church in America was introduced mainly in Korea, still those forms are functioning widely as the model of liturgical renewal in Korean church. Many Christians in Korea worship for the blessing and the human’s happiness rather than God, and there are many pagan factors in the Christian’s liturgy, and the sacrament is far from the liturgy. It is difficult to find a Christian worshiping with his whole life. On account of the desire for church growth in the Korean church, if the church can increase its numbers, they think that liturgy does not matter. Because the Korean church is disregarding the tradition, object, nature, content, and reason of liturgy according to Turretin, the Korean church needs the continuous effort for the renewal and reformation of liturgy and the right establishment of the liturgical theology. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Church History and Church Policy / unrestricted

Religion och film är ett ämne som fångat mångas intresse, inte minst de som önskar veta huruvida film är ett lämpligt medium för religion och för de som önskar använda filmer i sin religionsundervisning. Denna undersökning kom till för att ge svar på några sådana funderingar genom att undersöka hur två filmatiseringar, Prince of Egypt och Exodus Gods and Kings, skiljer sig från ursprungsberättelsen kring Exodus som finns i andra Moseboken. För att göra detta togs tre frågeställningar fram; om det finns skillnader mellan filmateringarna och grundhistorien och hur dessa i så fall yttrar sig, hur dessa eventuella skillnader påverkar berättelsens framställning samt huruvida filmatiseringarna kan användas i ett undervisningssammanhang. Undersökningen gjordes genom att använda en komparativ metod för att jämföra utvalda scener ur berättelsen med deras motsvarighet i filmatiseringarna och undersöka aspekter så som tidshantering, karaktärer och vilken typ av text de bedöms vara utifrån några förvalda kriterier. Resultatet visade att det finns stora skillnader i tidshanteringen i de utvalda scenerna och att många karaktärer fick en marginell roll som inte uppfyllde samma syfte i filmatiseringarna som de gjorde i den ursprungliga historien. Det gick också att utröna att filmatiseringarna främst var berättande snarare än beskrivande och alltså inte hade återberättande som sitt huvudsakliga syfte utan snarare underhållning. Baserat på dessa resultat kunde slutsatsen dras att det finns ett flertal olika skillnader mellan filmatiseringarna och ursprungshistorien och att dessa påverkar berättelsens framställning i hög grad. Hur framställningen påverkas av dessa ändringar hade behövt undersökas ytterligare. Det gick även att dra slutsatsen att de inte är lämpliga att använda i ett undervisningssammanhang utan att göra eleverna medvetna om de skillnader som finns och föra en diskussion kring dem, vilket är högst tidskrävande.

Lösenord är viktiga för att skydda användare från otillåten åtkomst till deras tjänster. Sådana tjänster kan både innehålla olika former av personlig information som bankkonto eller streaming tjänster. I denna studie kombineras funktionalitet av två tidigare segmenteringsalgoritmer för att skapa en ny segmenteringsalgoritm kallad Moses Segmenteringsalgoritm (MSA). Efteråt evalueras styrkan av lösenord skapade av användarna med hjälp av två databaser med läckta lösenord, samt användarnas upplevelse av en valideringstjänst som innehåller MSA. Algoritmen jämförs även med Googles lösenordskrav. Resultatet av studien visar på att lösenord som skapats med hjälp av MSA blir aldrig svaga, samt att användarna tycker att lösenord är lätta att skapa. Däremot upplevdelite mer än hälften av användarna att de inte skulle komma ihåg lösenordet med MSA. Användarna ansåg inte alltid att deras lösenord var säkert, även om lösenordet klassificerades som säkert enligt Nordpass lösenordsmätare. / <p>Stavningsjusterad titel: Utvärdering av valideringstjänst för lösenord byggd på segmenteringsalgoritm</p>

This thesis is a study about the influence of the Book of Mormon message to the Lamanites upon the establishment of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico, primarily focusing upon the years 1875-1950. Several important events, people, and publications from the first seventy-five years of the Church's history in Mexico are evaluated as historical case studies in order to examine the extent to which the message to the Lamanites influenced the beginnings of the Latter-day Saints there. These case studies include the first mission to Mexico in 1875, early publications in Spanish, the dedication of Mexico by Apostle Moses Thatcher, the presidency of Rey L. Pratt, and the Third Convention. Though this thesis provides pertinent historical background and details, as well as analysis of key primary sources and documents, its main purpose and contribution is its focus on the theme of the Lamanites, within the context of early Latter-day Saint history in Mexico.

Students and scholars of the L. D. S. Scriptures have long been aware of differences existing in the various publications of the material in our Book of Moses. To our knowledge no one has ever carefully isolated or analyzed these changes nor has any explanation been given either to justify or condemn them.Our first objective has been to make a linear comparison of all significant publications of the contents of the Book of Moses. By "significant" we refer to those publications in which there are additions or omissions of words. All changes are then considered in the light of their historical background.

Niagara is a work of magical realism, incorporating elements of historical and experimental fiction. The novel is inhabited by the problematic moguls and politicians who shaped American settlement, the burgeoning subculture of freight train hoppers that post their travels on the internet, and an author turned ghost who can no longer remember his past work.

Chapter One contains a lengthy discussion of tafsír, outlining its meaning, its need to the present study and the different forms in which it exists, whilst at the same time clarifying its obscurities and commending it as an indispensable science. Chapter Two offers a concise overview of five Qur'ánic commentators selected for this particular study. This assessment is based on the eras from which they emerged which has a definite bearing on their commentaries. Chapter Three is a résumé of my subject's biography adopted primarily from Qur'ánic sources. As a frequently mentioned prophet in the Qur'án the story of Músá [p.b.u.h] is drawn from various chapters highlighting substantial aspects of his life. Chapter Four concentrates on two frequently mentioned events in the life of prophet Músá [ p.b.u.h], namely, his call to prophethood and the proclamation to the pharaoh and his people. Chapter Five concludes this work by presenting an overview of the perspectives of the different commentators. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A.
