ABSTRACT AN ANALYSIS OF THE DISCIPLESHIP STRATEGY OF ROBERT EMERSON COLEMAN John Thomas Green IV, Ph. D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2012 Chair: Dr. Charles E. Lawless, Jr. This dissertation examines the discipleship strategy of Robert Emerson Coleman. Chapter 1 introduces the ministry and work of Robert Coleman. The chapter also discusses the call to discipleship given by Jesus Christ in the Great Commission and the need for the local church to effectively disciple its members. Chapter 2 presents a biography of Coleman. This chapter highlights his conversion and call to ministry. It also includes details of his ministry as a pastor, professor, and author. Chapter 3 provides an historical analysis of Coleman's discipleship strategy. This chapter notes influences upon Coleman's strategy, including the work of John Wesley. It also describes the historical context in which Coleman's strategy was developed, particularly the states of the evangelical church and the Methodist church. Chapter 4 addresses Coleman's practice of discipleship in his ministry. The chapter includes insight into Coleman's personal discipleship, as well as, his discipleship of his family, churches that he has pastored, and students that he led while teaching. Chapter 5 offers a biblical analysis of Coleman's discipleship strategy, dissecting Scripture used by Coleman to support his principles of discipleship outlined in The Master Plan of Evangelism. The chapter also notes several other works by Coleman to show how he consistently communicated his discipleship strategy. The conclusion offers application of Coleman's strategy in the North American church. Positive contributions of Coleman's work for discipleship in the local church are enumerated. Challenges to implementing his strategy are also shared. This work contends that Coleman has provided a biblical and effective model for discipleship in The Master Plan of Evangelism. His strategy is faithful to the model of Christ with His disciples. Coleman's work provides helpful contributions to discipleship in the local church though it has its challenges in implementation. Although Coleman's discipleship ministry has been conducted largely outside of the local church, his strategy can and should be used in the local church for discipleship.

For Whom the Bell Tolls is Ernest Hemingway's story of the Spanish Civil War. This war has often been seen as a conflict between good and evil, and the novel is frequently viewed as a way of illustrating the brotherhood of man in its portrayal of how Robert Jordan fights as a volunteer for the republicans against the fascists. This essay shows that Jordan actually loses his faith in the war. I instead propose that his determination to perform his mission is regained through Maria, and that he integrates with her as he finishes his mission. Initially, Jordan becomes alienated because he discovers the hopelessness and immorality of the republican struggle. The fascists are really not true enemies, and the republicans seem to have become the very evil that they originally set out to destroy. His faith in his mission is regained through Maria, and the completion of his mission becomes entwined with his integration with her. It becomes clear that she, a character whose thematic importance has often been neglected, is a part of the natural world. By becoming a part of nature, Jordan can thus become an eternal part of her. As he finishes his mission, his integration with nature intensifies. As he awaits death after having finished his mission, he literally becomes a part of nature and thematically a part of Maria, and even though he will die, the lovers are united. This, I suggest, is the complete integration that Jordan experiences.

Comme elle traite d'un sujet particulièrement vaste, notre analyse de l'oeuvre de Robert Morin ne cherche pas à être exhaustive, mais tend plutôt à mettre en perspective les différents modèles d'entremêlement de documentaire et de fiction explorés par le cinéaste tout au long de son parcours. Par conséquent, nous avons classifié le contenu de la filmographie de Morin en nous appuyant sur les trois axes relevés par Fabrice Montal dans un texte critique paru en complément de Moments donnés (Robert Morin: entrevue(s)), et avons arrêté notre sélection sur deux films et une vidéo, représentatifs de chacune des catégories: Le voleur vit en enfer, Ma vie c'est pour le restant de mes jours et Le nèg '. Au cours de notre analyse, il s'agira de caractériser la relation de ces documents avec la réalité, en établissant la part de documentaire et de fiction qu'ils comportent, et de déterminer quelles sont les conséquences de cette fusion des genres sur l'acte de spectature ainsi que sur la question de la vérité au cinéma. Nous traiterons, donc, du rapport particulier qu'entretient avec la réalité le cinéma en général, tant sur le plan de l'image que du récit. Ces deux angles nous permettront de présenter les principales théories sur le sujet: la transparence d'André Bazin, l'illusionnisme tel que présenté notamment par Jacques Aumont et le réalisme perceptuel de Gregory Currie, en ce qui concerne l'image; la narratologie explicitée par Christian Metz, André Gaudreault et François Jost, les images-temps et les images-mouvements relevées par Gilles Deleuze, pour ce qui est du récit. Il sera ensuite question des caractéristiques propres aux deux grands genres cinématographiques que sont le documentaire et la fiction, à la lumière des ouvrages de Jean-Marie Schaeffer et de Guy Gauthier. En plus de nous éclairer sur les liens unissant le cinéma avec la réalité, ces théories fourniront les notions nécessaires pour scinder la fiction et le documentaire dans les films et vidéos de Morin, au niveau du dispositif créatif et de l'acte de spectature, de manière à les confronter avec la question de la vérité au cinéma. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Cycle hydrologique, Bassin versant, Modèle climatique, Paramétrages physiques.

Det sägs att den moderna politiken är medierad, och blir det allt mer. De flesta medborgare nås bara av politiska budskap och bilder via olika mediekanaler. Därför är betydelsen av hur de gestaltas av stor betydelse. Uppsatsen undersöker hur getsaltningen av Sven Otto Littorin såg ut i tre svenska dagstidningar veckan efter hans avgång i juli 2010. Frågeställningarna är: Hur gestaltas Sven Otto Littorin dagen efter att han avgått? Hur förändras gestaltningen under de dagar som går? Hur skiljer sig de olika tidningarnas gestaltningar av Sven Otto Littorin åt? Undersökningen är en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med teoretisk utgångspunkt i Robert M. Entmans idéer om gestaltning (framing) och Regina G. Lawrence och Jesper Strömbäcks teorier om politik och gestaltning. Undersökningen inbegriper Sveriges till upplagor tre största dagstidningar Dagens Nyheter, Göteborgs-Posten och Svenska Dagbladet, materialet är publicerat mellan den 8-15 juli 2010. Resultatet visar att gestaltningen av Sven Otto Littorins och hans avgång skiljer sig mellan tidningarna. Littorin iklädds till en början en tydlig offerroll för att senare ifrågasättas i högre grad. Tidningarnas gestaltning av Littorin och den s.k. Littorinaffären” skiljer sig åt. Dagens Nyheter uppvisar en kritisk och självständig rapportering, Göteborgs-Posten mer en i linje med officiella versioner och Svenska Dagbladet en avmätt och tydligt avvaktande.

Att demokrati är ett mångfacetterat begrepp är en utgångspunkt för denna studie. Tolkningsfriheten av demo-krati är stor – både i samhället och inom skolväsendet. Ett intresse för studien är att undersöka vad lärare lägger för innebörd i begreppet demokratiska värderingar, men även hur förutsättningar skapas för att demokratiska värden ska genereras, hur demokratiska värden utvärderas samt varför lärarna tycker att demokratiarbetet är viktigt är aspekter som denna studie belyser. Åtta lärare deltog i studien, varav hälften arbetade inom årskurs 6 och resterande hälft i årskurs 9. Det över-gripande syftet är att söka likheter och skillnader mellan lärares syn på demokratiarbetet i dessa årskurser. Den kvalitativa intervjun användes för att samla in studiens material, medan ett fenomenografiskt och idéanalytiskt förhållningssätt har använts för att analysera materialet. Robert A. Dahls demokratiteorier ligger till stor grund för studiens analys. Slutsatsen för studien är att lika värde är centralt för demokratiska värderingar bland lärare, men även rättigheter och skyldigheter har en stark position. Dialogen och lyssnandet är återkommande faktorer för både hur demokratiska värderingar skapas och även hur det utvärderas. Att lägga en grund för det framtida samhället är en bidragande orsak varför demokrati-arbetet är viktigt, samt att den kollektiva gemenskapen är prioriterad framför det individualistiska förhållnings-sättet.

According to Warren Bennis with Robert J. Thomas Ph.D. research, cultivation of outstanding leadership is blend of past experience and self-conscious order come .This shaping process is called Crucible experiences. As the Manchu Dynasty's senior political and military commander, Zuo is undoubtedly the outstanding leadership representative. He organized Chu military to put down Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; forced in creating Fuzhou Ship Bureau to reinforce navy; lead the army expedition to the Northwest, to recover in Xinjiang; resisted the French army advancing along the southeast coast. Not too long in his political career, accomplished many achievements. How come is his leadership? Are there any points for modern leaders to learn? These are the questions this study to explore. Zuo as object, the study is through original and the results of previous studies for data collection. And then to lead the crucible theory as the framework, by qualitative research in the case studies and narrative research methods, etc. way to sum up the refined process of good leadership and proven crucible experience in the role of Zuo. And further settle objectives and plans which can be practiced of the modern leaders. Crucible experience is divided into three types namely¡§New territory¡¨,¡§Enforced reflection¡¨and¡§Disruption and loss¡¨. The study found that three kinds of crucible experience played key role by Zuo, lead he grown up enough to become good leaders. The three experiences of crucible advance nine life experiences can be deduced:¡§Self-examination¡¨,¡§Know who the next¡¨,¡§Intentions with people¡¨,¡§Overcome the fear¡¨,¡§Convince others¡¨,¡§Assumed the task¡¨,¡§Make difficult decisions¡¨,¡§Keep calm and solve mysteries¡¨, and¡§Organize a team¡¨.Finally, submit a practice checklist for plan to cultivate leadership.

<p>In my paper I have examined the United Nations role in the democratization of Kosovo. In order to complete this purpose I have asked two questions</p><p>• How has the UN contributed to the democratization of Kosovo that has taken place so far?</p><p>• What advantages and/or disadvantages has the UN presence in Kosovo had from a democratic perspective?</p><p>The method I have used in my paper is a qualitative one, and more specified a qualitative text analysis. This means that I have examined a rather small number of sources, but in return I have analyzed these sources very carefully. In addition to the choice of a qualitative method I have used Robert A. Dahl’s theory about polyarcy as a definition of democracy.</p><p>The results from my analysis are that the UN has done some work in favour of the democratization of Kosovo, but the UN has also acted in a way which restrains democratization of Kosovo in many ways. The main reason why the UN hinders the democratization of Kosovo is it’s unwillingness to let go of its power over the region to the local officials.</p>

This work explores a fascinating and disturbing literary trope found in select German Expressionist prose in the years 1910-1920. Key Expressionist-era authors, including Georg Heym, Robert Musil, Egmont Colerus and Franz Kafka employed Antarctic and ice metaphors in their poetry and prose to exemplify inner feelings of displacement resulting from modernity. Expressionist discontent, as well as the “Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration” that occurred from 1895 to 1922, led to the creation of polar dystopias in some literature. These dystopias explored abstract interpretations of the South Pole, not as a place of excitement and adventure, but rather as a journey into philosophical inner ice in the era of Modernism. Heym, Musil and Colerus did not invent the disturbing Antarctic allegory, but rather returned to an established literary tradition in a time of polar “pulp” fiction.This thesis first examines the South Pole as a place of emptying, shown in Georg Heym's 1911 fragment “Das Tagebuch Shakletons” (“Shakleton's Diaries”). In other works, such as Heym's 1911 novella “Die Südpolfahrer” (“Travelers to the South Pole”), the South Pole is portrayed as a blank slate. Two Austrian works show the idea of the South Pole as a refuge: Robert Musil’s 1911 Das Land über den Südpol (“The Land over the South Pole”) and Egmont Colerus’ 1915 novel Antarktis. These works exemplify and interpret the modern soul’s tepid “temperature,” something sharply criticized by Expressionists. These authors and poets longed to see an improved world and expressed discontent by portraying imperialist “heroes” of their time as mere specks lost in the sea of modernity. In the literature of Heym, Musil, Colerus and Kafka, a bleak Antarctic world mirrors the authors’ views on their “dying” society and the European “symptom” that resulted in suffocating mediocrity. Self-fulfillment becomes a static or moving point on the horizon that will never be realized by either the explorer or the freezing bourgeois soul.
