The law in the theologies of Wingren and Reuther : a comparative studyHess, Nancy Anne Olson 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis is a comparative study of the concept and role of the law in the
theologies of Rosemary Radford Ruether and Gustaf Wingren. The analysis of
their theologies shows that Wingren uses the law as a formal theological
category and Ruether does not. The absence of the law in Ruether's theology
has implication for theological ethics.
For Wingren the law has two uses. The first use, the so called political use, is
that which compels and coerces ethical behavior in the human. The first use of
the law is used to insure that all humans receive the fullness of life that God
intends for all of creation. The second use of the law, the so called spiritual
use, accuses the human when he/she does not meet the demands of the law.
When the conscience is accused the human is prepared to hear the gospel. For
Wingren, the gospel is what gives the human a new will to live by freeing the
human from the burden and condemnation of the law. The law and the gospel
serve each other but have distinct functions. The law demands ethical behavior
and the gospel gives salvation. According to Wingren, the source of ethical
behavior is located in the doctrine of creation not in the doctrine of the
revelation of God through Jesus Christ; thus preserving the notion that the gift
of grace is not earned by good works but is given freely.
For Ruether, appropriate ethical behavior is revealed to humans through
paradigmatic individuals who denounce systems of oppression and announce
God's intent for creation, namely, liberation. Jesus is one such paradigmatic
individual who both denounces oppression and announces the kingdom of God.
Jesus both demands justice in relationships and offers liberation. The gospel
message of Jesus, in effect, collapses the law and the gospel into one entity.
The follower of Jesus hears that salvation is dependent upon appropriate
ethical behavior thereby nullifying the notion that grace is an unearned gift.
The thesis concludes with a constructive statement which develops a feminist
theology based on Wingren's concept of the law / Biblical and Ancient Studies / D. Th. (Systematic Theology)

“The Nonmusical Message Will Endure With It:” The Changing Reputation and Legacy of John Powell (1882-1963)Adam, Karen 24 April 2012 (has links)
This thesis explores the changing reputation and legacy of John Powell (1882-1963). Powell was a Virginian-born pianist, composer, and ardent Anglo-Saxon supremacist who created musical propaganda to support racial purity and to define the United States as an exclusively Anglo-Saxon nation. Although he once enjoyed international fame, he has largely disappeared from the public consciousness today. In contrast, the legacies of many of Powell’s musical contemporaries, such as Charles Ives and George Gershwin, have remained vigorous. By examining the ways in which the public has perceived and portrayed Powell both during and after his lifetime, this thesis links Powell’s obscurity to a deliberate, public rejection of his Anglo-Saxon supremacist definition of the United States.

The Association of Libarians in colleges of advanced education and the committee of Australian university librarians: The evolution of two higher education library groups, 1958-1997Oakshott, Stephen Craig, School of Information, Library & Archives Studies, UNSW January 1998 (has links)
This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.
