This study will present a comprehensive study of the YMMIA from 1939 to 1974. This study includes the emergence of different programs and the changes in age groupings, as well as goals of the program. A short historical background chapter will be included to acquaint the readers with the previous growth and development of YMMIA since it was instituted.

ABSTRACT THE ROYAL PRIEST: PSALM 110 IN BIBLICAL- THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE Matthew Habib Emadi, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2016 Chair: Dr. James M. Hamilton, Jr. This dissertation develops the biblical-theological rationale for the union of kingship and priesthood in Psalm 110 in the context of the entire canon. The thesis of this project is that a canonical reading of David’s depiction of the eschatological Melchizedekian priest-king develops God’s creational purpose for humanity to establish God’s kingdom (king) by mediating God’s covenantal blessings from his temple sanctuary (priest), and simultaneously advances God’s redemption project by depicting the order of royal priesthood that would bring the promises of the Abrahamic covenant to fruition. Chapter 1 introduces the thesis and methodological issues pertaining to this study, and surveys the research in the modern period in order to identify how scholars have handled the union of kingship and priesthood in a single figure in Psalm 110. Chapter 2 examines the concept of royal priesthood in the Torah. This examination demonstrates that Adam is the Bible’s royal priestly prototype and that his royal priesthood is recapitulated in important covenantal figures—Noah, Abraham, Melchizedek, Israel, and Aaron. Melchizedek, in particular, is a priest-king uniquely associated with Abraham and the Abrahamic covenant. Chapter 3 situates Psalm 110 in its Old Testament context and hones in on the patterns of David’s own life experiences—revealed in 1–2 Samuel—and the content of the Davidic covenant in order to show how David would have arrived at the conclusion that the messiah was to be a royal priest after the order of Melchizedek. Chapter 4 briefly investigates the intertestamental literature in order to show how the union of priesthood and kingship in Psalm 110 influenced the messianic expectations of the authors of the Testament of Levi, 1 Enoch, 2 Enoch, and 11QMelchizedek. Chapter 5 focuses on how the New Testament develops the union of priesthood and kingship in the person and work of Jesus Christ on the basis of Psalm 110. The Gospel of Mark and the epistle to the Hebrews pick up the royal priestly logic of Psalm 110 in their respective Christological arguments. Chapter 6 is the conclusion. It summarizes the arguments of the previous chapters and proposes some theological implications from this study.

A autoria, o local de composição e os destinatários do texto são questões abertas, pois a exegese ainda não chegou a um resultado consensual sobre isso. Hebreus encontrou resistências para ser aceito no cânon sagrado; sua inclusão no cânon só ocorreu definitivamente no quarto século da Era Cristã. Entretanto, esse escrito é considerado um dos melhores textos do NT, por se tratar de uma linguagem muito refinada e com um perfeito domínio do grego. Na perícope de Hb 4,14-16 o autor afirma que temos um sumo sacerdote que penetrou os céus, Jesus o filho de Deus . Essa afirmação constitui objeto da profissão de fé, pois o autor exorta aos(as) destinatários(as) a perseverarem nessa profissão de fé. Nossa tese consiste em afirmar que, nessa exortação feita pelo autor, está implícito, de forma a priori, o pressuposto da ressurreição de Jesus, pois ele só pôde penetrar os céus , uma vez que fora ressuscitado pelo Pai. Dessa maneira, ele foi entronizado à direita de Deus, onde exerce seu ministério sumosacerdotal no santuário celestial em favor de seus irmãos e irmãs, ou seja, de todos(as) que dele se aproximam buscando graça e socorro.

There is until today a misinterpretation by ordained ministers and some theologians about the place and role of the laity and participation in the Church´s life, not being aware of their importance to the ecclesial action. Liturgical Theology has much to offer through a scathing reflection on the amounts deposited by Vatican II to all sectors of the Church. The Universal Church Documents and CELAM indicate theology task that the Church has today to the conscience of its clear members about discipleship and missionary in an active, conscious and fruitful participation in the Church and in the world. It´s possible to overcome the understanding that many people have about the liturgical reflection. The study demonstrates the role of liturgical science is not merely ritualistic, but causes implications to the diocesan and parochial Church´s life, and in the very essence of the Christian person contributing to a better reality for themselves and others. This task must be done and the liturgical theology has the assignment to elucidate it to everyone, so there is a correct understanding of it / A presente dissertação de mestrado em teologia sistemática, cujo tema é o sacerdócio real: fundamento para uma participação litúrgica ativa e frutuosa dos fiéis leigos (as), pretende por meio de uma reflexão teológica, demonstrar o valor da participação dos fiéis na ação litúrgica da Igreja e na vida cristã, efetivada pelo sacerdócio real. Encontra-se ainda hoje, uma deficiente interpretação por boa parte dos ministros ordenados e de alguns teólogos sobre o papel e lugar do leigo (a) e de sua participação na vida da Igreja, não tendo consciência da sua importância para a ação eclesial. A Teologia litúrgica tem muito a oferecer por meio de uma reflexão contundente acerca dos valores depositados pelo Concílio Vaticano II a todos os setores da Igreja. Os Documentos da Igreja Universal e do CELAM apontam a tarefa que a teologia possui hoje na Igreja de clarear a consciência dos seus membros acerca do discipulado e da missionariedade numa participação ativa, consciente e frutuosa na Igreja e no mundo. É possível superar este entendimento que muitos possuem acerca da reflexão litúrgica. O estudo demonstra que o papel da ciência litúrgica não é meramente ritualístico, mas provoca implicações na vida da Igreja diocesana e paroquial, e no próprio ser da pessoa cristã contribuindo para uma realidade melhor para si e para os outros. É uma tarefa que a teologia litúrgica se impõe e tem como dever clareá-la a todos, para que haja uma correta compreensão da mesma

In the nineteenth century, Scottish Catholic priests were not simply trained; they were made. Preferably selected and intensely trained since boyhood, seminarians – prieststo- be – were set on a lengthy career path which expected them to become exemplary Christians, brilliant scholars, disciplined (celibate) males, loyal subjects of the Pope, and approachable ‘fathers’ to their parishioners in a Presbyterian country historically unsympathetic to their faith. By the time they left the seminary system they had been thoroughly transformed: from children to adults, from boys to men, from students to professionals and from, in many cases, labourers’ and shoemakers’ sons to gentlemen. Aspects of their lives were permanently affected by the process of moulding them into missionary priests in an immersive environment in a foreign country. But regardless of their unique experience, seminarians have rarely been the focus of historical scholarship. This thesis examines the lives and the social identities of a subsection of the Scottish Mission’s seminarians: those trained on French soil between 1818 and 1878 inclusive. It uses the prosopographical method to analyse the lives of a population of 225 France-trained individuals before, beyond and during their study migration abroad. It details the system for the education of missionary priests for Scotland before concentrating specifically on France and the post-Revolution setting of the students’ further studies there, previously undocumented by historians. It addresses the Gallican and Sulpician peculiarities of the French ecclesiastical culture reigning at the seminaries and the impact of the instability of the host society on the Scots seminarians. By using the lenses of gender, class, nation and race, it addresses different intertwining facets of this experience, elaborating on these lives through the concept of belonging. This thesis makes a significant contribution to scholarship on Roman Catholic priesthood, seminary education and Scots Colleges abroad. The individual seminarian lives highlight the paradoxical nature of a Roman Catholic clerical education, designed to mould individuals into cosmopolitan priests for the Scottish Catholic Mission.
