The thrust of this thesis is encapsulated in the title – Paul, Jerusalem and the Judaisers: The Galatian Crisis in Its Broader Historical Context – which reflects the author’s insistence that reconstructing all the events surrounding the crisis that impelled Paul to compose his letter to the Galatians is essential to understanding this letter. The position taken in this study is that the Galatian crisis was initiated by a group of Judaising opponents acting under the direct authority of the Jerusalem church. The origins of this controversy can be traced back to the early dispute between the Hellenists and the Hebrews described in the Acts of the Apostles, which led to the expulsion of the Hellenists from Jerusalem and the establishment of the community in Antioch. Paul’s opponents apparently cited Jerusalem as the source of and the warrant for their Law-observant gospel. In Galatians, Paul alludes to events involving Judaising opponents that transpired in Jerusalem and Antioch prior to the outbreak of the crisis at Galatia. Thus, the immediate background of the crisis is found in the Jerusalem Council (Gal 2:1-10; Acts 15:1-35) and the Incident at Antioch (Gal 2:11-14). Turning to the conflict in Galatia itself this thesis attempts to explore the links between these earlier events and the Galatian crisis. The primary avenue for this examination will be via a consideration of Paul’s argument in Galatians. By the careful use of the mirror-reading technique, this thesis will endeavour to reconstruct the message and the origins of Paul’s opponents. The thesis concludes with a brief examination of Paul’s later conflicts with Judaising opponents at Corinth and Philippi, as well as the autobiographical material in Romans, all of which will provide an insight into the eventual outcome of the crisis in Galatia

The convergence of the Church, its Gospel and the World has become a critical area of New Testament Biblical Studies. This significance revolves around the ‘relevance and impact ‘ of the Church and her kerygmatic message in an increasingly secular and sceptic world. The secularization and scepticism is mainly driven by the dawning of a ‘post-modern’ twenty first century which has also ushered in an era of unprecedented technological and scientific advancement. This new-world, which is being advanced through the ‘global village’ phenomenon, and the broadening democratization and entrenchment of individual human rights in developing countries, seems to have discarded all ‘absolutes’, and only values that which can be verified empirically. All this has left many individuals questioning the relevance of the Church and her message. Many seem to have designated the Church and her message as ‘past the expiry date’. It is thus no longer uncommon for previously Christian societies to be described as Post-Christian societies. The convergence of Church, Gospel and World has thus become very significant. The critical question is whether the Church is to close the door on the world and adopt an isolationist stance, or whether the Church is to fulfill her missiological and prophetic role by engaging and penetrating our twenty first century world with the message of the Gospel. This short dissertation will consider selected aspects of Pauline Ecclesiological and Soteriological perspectives in a social context, and the Social conditions of the Pauline World. We will then consider how the three components – Church; Gospel and World – ought to converge in the missiological task of the Church. / Prof. J.A. du Rand

Titre de l'écran-titre (visionné le 30 octobre 2023) / Les marais salés et polders sont des composants importants du paysage de la Ville de Baie-Saint-Paul. Alors qu'ils sont naturellement et culturellement importants, ils sont mal compris par la plupart des citoyens. La problématique de ce mémoire est de comprendre comment les processus naturels et humains ont influencé l'évolution des marais depuis les débuts de la colonisation européenne. L'hypothèse est que les marais sont un milieu hybride qui est le résultat de processus naturels et culturels. Pour tester l'hypothèse, l'étude a privilégié une méthodologie basée sur l'analyse par ordinateur (HGIS) des cartes anciennes, photographies aériennes et images satellitaires afin de suivre l'évolution des marais à travers le temps. Les résultats montrent qu'au cours des siècles les modifications naturelles des marais ont été limitées, la plus importante étant le rebond isostatique entraînant une hausse de près d'un demi-mètre de l'élévation des marais. Les changements anthropiques ont été de loin le plus grand moteur de changement. Alors que des siècles de chasse, de pêche, de pâturage et de récolte de foin de marais ont eu peu d'impact sur le milieu, l'utilisation croissante du drainage et la création de polders ont diminué la superficie des marais. Étonnamment, les changements les plus importants sont liés à la montée d'une économie postindustrielle où les marinas, les quais et la fréquentation touristique ont eu des impacts importants sur les mouvements de sédiments et la stabilité des dunes et des zones végétales des marais. Le mémoire se termine par un appel à des plans de gestion plus cohérents qui reconnaissent les marais pour leur biodiversité en plus d'être des lieux de culture et d'utilisation durable. / Salt marshes and polders are important components of the landscape of the City of Baie-Saint-Paul. While they are naturally and culturally significant, they are misunderstood by most citizens. The problematic is to consider how natural and cultural processes have influenced the evolution of the marshes since European colonization. The hypothesis is that the marshes are a hybrid environment resulting from natural and cultural processes. To test this hypothesis, the study privileged a methodology based on computer analysis (HGIS) of old maps, aerial photographs, and satellite images to follow the progression of the marshes over time. The results show that over the centuries the natural modifications of the marshes have been limited, the most important being isostatic rebound resulting in a rise of nearly half a meter in the elevation of the marshes. Anthropogenic changes have been by far the biggest driver of change. While centuries of hunting, fishing, pasturing, and marsh hay harvesting had little impact on the environment, the increasing use of drainage and the creation of polders reduced the area of the marshes. Surprisingly, the most significant changes are related to the rise of a post-industrial economy where marinas, wharves and tourist traffic have had significant impacts on sediment movements and the stability of dunes and marsh vegetation zones. The thesis ends with a call for more coherent management plans that recognize marshes for their biodiversity in addition to being places of culture and sustainable use.

Généralement analysé sous son angle économique, touristique ou culturel, le festival est rarement appréhendé comme un objet relationnel. Le présent mémoire s'intéresse au cas du Festif! de Baie-Saint-Paul et, empruntant au sociologue Hartmut Rosa son concept de résonance, il analyse d'abord comment et en quoi ce festival « résonne » pour ses festivaliers locaux. S'appuyant sur les concepts de chaîne de coopération et de conventions tels que développés par Howard Becker dans Les mondes de l'art, il tente ensuite d'éclairer comment les caractéristiques organisationnelles même de ce festival participent à créer cet espace de résonance. Se basant sur vingt entretiens réalisés avec des festivaliers issus de la communauté charlevoisienne ainsi que neuf autres avec des membres de l'organisation du Festif! de Baie-Saint-Paul, ce mémoire démontre l'importance des relations tissées entre un festival et son milieu comme facteur clé de sa réussite et de sa pérennité.

Thesis advisor: Thomas D. Stegman / Thesis advisor: Christopher R. Matthews / The history of interpretation of the phrase nous Christou, which Paul employs in 1 Cor 2:16, mainly focuses on tracing the Hellenistic influence on his writings. No doubt, the Greek language Paul employs in explaining the gospel and the dominant culture of his world make this scholarly proclivity a credible one. But Paul, being a faithful Jew and a creative writer, is capable of appealing to his rich and diverse religious heritage, and his literary ingenuity to communicate his message. This angle of interpretation is seldom explored in discussing the nous Christou. / Thesis (STL) — Boston College, 2017. / Submitted to: Boston College.
