Fictional and Metafictional Strategies in Ian McEwan’s Novel Atonement (2001) and its Screen Adaptation (2007)Dahlbäck, Katrin January 2009 (has links)
The concept of distorting the line between fiction and reality appears to be one of the main themes in Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001) as well as in Joe Wright’s screen adaptation of the novel, released in 2007. With the focus on the main character Briony Tallis this essay explores the influence that literature and fiction have on her, how they bring her to blur the line between them and reality and, to a lesser extent, the different ways in which the novel and its screen adaptation address this issue. Briony is first introduced as an author, underlining the importance that imagination holds for her, and it is this overactive imagination that causes her to misinterpret real events and thus accuse Robbie Turner for a crime he did not commit. To redeem herself Briony turns to fiction in an attempt to re-write the past; by blurring the line between fiction and reality, as defined by the restrictions of her novel, Briony gives Robbie and Cecilia a future within the pages of her book. The literary motifs and symbols, that are present within her novel, enhance the influence fiction and literature have on her. This is also emphasized by her characters’ relationship with literature, their use of literary works, and their characters. Briony, the character, strives to become Briony the author, thus emphasizing the importance that literature holds for her. Because Briony is trapped within the boundaries of her own imagination she has, in writing her novel, managed to hold Robbie and Cecilia captive in her imaginative world. Thus, finally achieving what she has been striving to do for during the greater part of her life: Briony, the author, can atone for the terrible ordeals that she caused decades previously.

A comparison between the views of Jonathan Edwards and John Wesley regarding the sovereignty of GodRobertson, Alan Charles January 1977 (has links)
The views of Edwards and Wesley regarding the sovereignty of God present a puzzle. On the face of things, both were successful evangelists while both held contrary doctrines of sovereignty. Does this mean that the doctrine of sovereignty is irrelevant? This thesis argues that the doctrine of sovereignty is crucial in evangelism and revival, and that the views of Edwards and Wesley regarding the sovereignity of God were in fact very similar. A useful framework for showing this is the Five Points of Calvinism, as well as the doctrines of justification by faith and the omnipotence of God.

The Good, The Bad, The Guilty : A character analysis of Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner / Den Goda, Den Onda, Den skyldige : En karaktärsanalys av Khaled Hosseinis The Kite RunnerSjödén, Madelene January 2020 (has links)
In Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner (2003) the reader follows the narrator and protagonist Amir’s as he embarks on his journey towards redemption. Amir’s need for redemption is based on the tragic childhood event where Amir’s friend and servant Hassan were assaulted by their nemesis Assef as Amir can, but fails to intervene. This event is central to the plot. The story is told through Amir's memories and contains details about his relationship to the people close to him as well as his nemesis. I will argue that Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner can be interpreted through a character analysis based on the names Hosseini chose for three of his characters and how they correlate to the portrayal of the characters, their personalities and how they mirror the actors in the Afghani civil war. / I Khaled Hosseinis roman The Kite Runner (2003) följer läsaren berättaren och huvudpersonen Amir på hans resan genom livet. Den tragiska händelsen där Amirs vän och tjänare Hassan blev våldtagen av deras plågoande Assef är en central del av handlingen. Handlingen skildras genom Amirs minnen och innehåller detaljer om hans relationer till de personer som står honom nära såväl som detaljer om hans fiende. Jag argumenterar för att Khaled Hosseinis The Kite Runner kan tolkas genom en karaktärsanalys som baseras på de namn som Hosseini valt till sina karaktärer och hur de står i relation till porträtteringen av karaktärerna och deras personligheter samt hur de speglar aktörerna i det afghanska inbördeskriget.

Jephthah's Daughter: A Hebrew Foreground for Jesus' Passion in MatthewSeariac, Hanna Elizabeth 12 August 2022 (has links)
While there are key differences between Jephthah's daughter's story and that of Jesus, not least the difference in gender of the sacrificial victims, this thesis posits that both the similarities and differences between these two accounts can enrich readings of Jesus' death in the gospel of Matthew. A careful comparison of the narrative of Jephthah's daughter with Jesus' Passion narrative in the gospel of Matthew leads to the conclusion that Jesus' death should be interpreted as a human sacrifice. Reading Jesus' death as a human sacrifice and locating it in that socio-religious context makes his death indicative of a transactional, covenantal relationship between him and the Father. These two accounts also share archetypes that come from the Hebrew Bible. Foregrounding Jesus' narrative with Jepthah's daughter's narrative intricately reveals Jesus' connections with the Hebrew Bible, shedding light on the interpretation of his Passion.

Redeeming Wrath and Apocalyptic Violence: Girard and von Balthasar in Response to Nietzsche’s Critique of Atonement TheologyPoettcker, Grant M. 10 1900 (has links)
<p>This dissertation compares the soteriologies of René Girard and Hans Urs von Balthasar as they engage and respond to the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, and specifically, to Nietzsche’s critique of atonement theology. It examines a problematic shared by all three figures, one defined by the relationship between the violence and redemption. Chapter 1 traces the development of this problematic from Anselm through Luther and Calvin, and attends to the way changes in the metaphysical framework underlying the language of satisfaction led the Reformers to construe divine wrath in more strictly punitive terms. The subsequent chapters examine the responses offered by Nietzsche, Girard, and von Balthasar. Nietzsche argues that Christian priests used the event of Jesus’ violent crucifixion as a symbol to hold the weak in thrall; the Cross came to symbolize the threat of divine wrath and the hope of a quasi-magical salvation. Girard and von Balthasar each argue that Christian soteriology does not enslave Christians to a lie but orients all human beings to the truth. They also agree that the violence of the crucifixion is significant. But whereas Girard argues that the Christian doctrine of divine wrath is a residue of violent pagan religion and thus has no place in interpreting the meaning of the crucifixion, von Balthasar argues that this doctrine serves to highlight the unique quality of God’s re-ordering love. By analyzing and interpreting their responses to Nietzsche, this dissertation seeks to evaluate the contributions Girard and von Balthasar offer for a post-Nietzschean soteriology.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Jesus Christ's substitutionary death : an attempt to reconcile two divergent Seventh-Day Adventist teachingsMwale, Emmanuel 11 1900 (has links)
At the incarnation, Jesus Christ assumed the fallen human nature that He found. Having lived a life of perfect obedience in the fallen human flesh that He assumed, He voluntarily and willingly bore the sins of the entire human race and died the second death for, and in our place; thereby paying the penalty for sin. Jesus Christ bore our sins (acts or behaviours) vicariously, while sin as nature or a law residing in the fallen human flesh that He assumed was condemned in that flesh and received eternal destruction on the cross. Thus, on the cross, in Christ, God saved the entire humanity. On the cross, the condemnation that the entire humanity had received by being genetically linked to Adam was reversed in Christ. Thus, the entire human race stands legally justified. But this is a gift, which can either be received or rejected. Therefore, salvation is not automatic. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)

DER TOD CHRISTI: DARSTELLUNG UND DEUTUNG IM CORPUS PAULINUM UND IN DER GEGENWÄRTIGEN DISKUSSION UM DIE SÜHNETHEOLOGISCHE DEUTUNG DES TODES JESU / The death of Christ: presentation and interpretation in the Corpus Paulinum and the recent debate regarding its atoning propitiatory significanceOrth, Christopher Jonas 02 1900 (has links)
Text in German, abstracts in English and German / Die Diskussion zum richtigen Verständnis des Todes Christi hat zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhundertsnoch an Vehemenz zugenommen. Dabei wird vor allem die traditionelle Deutung desTodes Christi als stellvertretender Sühnetod stark kritisiert und ihre Berechtigung in Fragegestellt. Die vorliegende Arbeit nimmt die wesentlichen Fragen dieser Kritik aus dem deutschsprachigenRaum auf. Anhand einer historisch-kanonischen Exegese der Stellen, bei denen derTod Christi in den als echt anerkannten paulinischen Briefen explizit oder implizit angeführtwird, wird die jeweilige Deutung dieses Todes geprüft. Ferner werden die Fragen nach demtraditionsgeschichtlichen Hintergrund der verschiedenen Deutungen behandelt. Lässt sich dieVorstellung des stellvertretenden Sühnetods bei Paulus als zentrale und angemessene Deutungdes Todes Christi nachweisen oder kann sie aufgegeben werden? / The discussion of the proper interpretation of the death of Christ has been gaining momentum
since the beginning of the 21st century. In particular, the traditional interpretation of Christ’s
death as expiation and penal substitution faces severe criticism and its warranty is challenged
from several perspectives. This thesis takes up the essential critique voiced in the discussion in
central Europe. By means of a historical-canonical exegesis of the explicit or implicit references
to Christ’s death in the authentic Pauline letters, it examines how Christ’s death is understood
in each case. The questions of the possible backdrop of these references to the death
of Christ will also be examined. The thesis argues that, in Paul’s understanding of Christ’s
death, penal substitution and atonement are appropriate and central categories which must not
be abandoned in reconstructions of Pauline soteriology / New Testament / .M. Th. (New Testament)
