Postcolonial biblical interpretation in the context of the Democratic Republic of the Congo : selected texts from Joshua 1-12Bwalya, Laishi 11 1900 (has links)
The present research has been aimed at investigating how imperialism and colonialism are located both in the biblical text (cf. Joshua 1-12) and in present day interpretive postcolonial contexts such as that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
An investigation was made of the unequal power dynamics at play between the Israelites who are depicted as mercilessly conquering the indigenous peoples of Canaan in the name of the deity, and the Canaanites. How were/ are such power dynamics played out in the Katangese, Democratic Republic of the Congo’s context in the relations between the then colonizers, that is, the Belgians as well as the neo-colonial African rulers and the Congolese peoples? It is argued that the Belgians assumed the role akin to that of the Israelite invaders as they mercilessly invaded the “promised land”, that is, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, ending with the brutal extermination of African peoples justified on biblical precedents.
A conclusion is made that within the context of postcolonial biblical interpretation, the conquest narrative of Joshua 1-12 is one of the most traumatic stories in which violence is committed by one nation on another in the name of the deity. Postcolonial biblical criticism was found to be an appropriate approach in assisting the researcher to navigate through violent biblical texts with a view to coming up with a transformative reading of the texts in the (Katangese) context of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D.

The corporal punishment of children : a theological - ethical evaluationRonne, Norman Clive 11 1900 (has links)
The corporal punishment of children is being widely challenged today. Christians have traditionally followed the "spare the rod and spoil the child" approach and must respond to the new situation. Corporal punishment is part of the wider disciplinary process. It can lead to corporal abuse, but this is not a reason per se to reject it.
Parents have a right to discipline their children, including the use of reasonable corporal punishment. Teachers can also use corporal punishment to enforce discipline, although its use will soon be banned in all South African schools, following world trends.
Corporal punishment in the home and at school satisfies the criteria of both the deontological and teleogical approach to theological ethics. It should be retained as part of a multi-faceted approach to discipline. / Philosophy and Systematic Theology / M.Th. (Theological Ethics)

"Sexist socialising of children in the Sunday schools of the church of the province of Southern Africa : a theological ethical study"Tuckey, Caroline 11 1900 (has links)
Sexist socialisation in the church starts from childhood. The Sunday school, the Christian
community and parents all play a role in transmitting sexist values to children. Sexism is
present in the interpretation, use and teaching of scripture as well as the hierarchy, roles,
structures, language, worship and symbols of the church. These subconsciously influence
children. People's faith may be shaken when the sexist nature of some of these beliefs is
exposed. Sexist socialisation is detrimental as the growth and witness of the church may be
stunted. Hence there is a need to develop non-sexist Christian education. Insights and tools
from feminist theology help in this programme. The conclusions are tentative as such a
process is evolutionary, but important. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / Th. M. (Theological Ethics)

ヒエロニュムスの「ヘブライ的真理」の研究 : その聖書翻訳論と旧約引用理解とを手がかりに / ヒエロニュムス ノ「ヘブライテキ シンリ」ノ ケンキュウ : ソノ セイショ ホンヤクロン ト キュウヤク インヨウ リカイ トオ テガカリ ニ / ヒエロニュムスのヘブライ的真理の研究 : その聖書翻訳論と旧約引用理解とを手がかりに加藤 哲平, Teppei Kato 02 March 2017 (has links)
ギリシア語訳旧約聖書である七十人訳の擁護者たちに対し、ヒエロニュムス（347–420）はヘブライ語原典の優越性、すなわち「ヘブライ的真理」を主張した。しかし、その聖書翻訳論と旧約引用理解とを考慮すると、ヒエロニュムスが「ヘブライ的真理」と言うとき、彼はヘブライ語テクストと七十人訳との文献学的な問題に留まらず、これら二者と新約聖書における旧約引用との神学的な問題をも解決しようとしていたと言える。 / Against many defenders of the Septuagint, namely, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, Jerome (347–420) claims the superiority of the original Hebrew text. Jerome names this idea Hebraica veritas, or "Hebrew Truth." Considering his theory of biblical translation and his understanding of Old Testament quotations in the New Testament, this study concludes that Jerome's real purpose concerning Hebraica veritas is to solve not only the philological problem between the Hebrew text and the Septuagint, but also the theological problem between these two texts and the Old Testament quotations. / 博士(神学) / Doctor of Theology / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University

Comment en sommes-nous arrivés à « God Hates Fags » ? : analyse de la matrice des possibilités interprétatives de Lévitique 18,22 et 20,13Haskel-Martinez, Brandon 10 1900 (has links)
Historiquement et jusqu’à aujourd’hui, la Bible a été utilisée afin de justifier une homophobie, soit-elle religieuse ou laïque. Les passages de prédilection employés à cet effet sont le récit de Sodome et de Gomorrhe en Genèse (Gn) 19 et les interdits du Lévitique (Lv) en 18,22 et 20,13. Depuis au moins les travaux de Derrick Sherwin Bailey (1955), le récit de Genèse 19 est souvent interprété à travers le prisme du thème de l'inhospitalité au sein des traditions chrétiennes, plutôt qu’un interdit spécifique de l'homosexualité. En revanche, les extraits du Lévitique, en tant que textes de loi, présentaient un autre type d'autorité et ont eu droit à une réception distincte. Ainsi, selon une approche historique maximaliste, il serait considéré comme historiquement illégal pour un homme d'avoir des rapports sexuels avec un autre homme, sous peine de mort. Dans le cadre de ce mémoire, je propose d'explorer Lv 18,22; 20,13 et ses interprétations contemporaines, à partir d'une analyse exégétique et d’une excursion comparatiste en histoire des religions. En somme, quelles lectures pouvons-nous faire du Lévitique 18,22 et 20,13 concernant les relations sexuelles entre hommes à la lumière du contexte sociohistorique du Proche-Orient ancien ? / Historically and up to the present day, the Bible has been used to justify homophobia, whether religious or secular. The preferred passages employed for this purpose are the account of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis (Gen) 19 and the prohibitions in Leviticus (Lev) 18:22 and 20:13. Since at least the works of Derrick Sherwin Bailey (1955), the narrative of Genesis 19 has often been interpreted through the lens of the theme of inhospitality within Christian traditions, rather than as a specific prohibition of homosexuality. On the other hand, the Leviticus verses, as legal texts, held a different type of authority and received distinct reception. Thus, according to a maximalist historical approach, it would be considered historically illegal for a man to engage in sexual relations with another man, punishable by death. In the scope of this paper, I propose to explore Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 and their contemporary interpretations through exegesis and a comparative excursion into the history of religions. Ultimately, what interpretations can we derive from Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 regarding sexual relations between men in light of the sociohistorical context of the ancient Near East?

Re-reading 2 Samuel 13:1-14:33 in Tanzanian contexts: towards an HIV/AIDS Biblical HermeneuticsMuneja, Mussa Simon 10 1900 (has links)
It is arguably clear that the AIDS epidemic has infected and affected our world in radical
ways. Although every sector, including Biblical Studies, has come to its ‘senses’, by realising
the urgency to respond; there still appears to be inadequate contextual engagement with
the biblical text to stimulate empowering and transformative readings of the Bible. This case
study is aimed at contributing to scholarship by determining the extent to which the church,
the academy and Persons with HIV have adhered to stigmatising interpretations. The
theoretical framework used, was the reader response method as applied within the context
of African theology because it is socially located. The data was collected through focus
groups and personal interviews. The purposive sampling included 70 participants, who were
divided into three key categories: academic theologians, university students and persons
with HIV. All participants in the study re-read 2 Samuel 13:1-14:33 in order to ascertain if
the characters therein could be relevant to the context of AIDS. The overall findings showed
that characters from 2 Samuel 13:1-14:33 can provide an empowering message in the
context of AIDS. Although this biblical text has often been misused to promote stigma, this
study confirmed that it was nonetheless possible to use the same text to unearth
redemptive and empowering interpretations. Therefore the study recommends that the
move towards an HIV/AIDS Biblical Hermeneutics invites socially engaged scholars along
with ordinary readers to read the text together for transformative purposes. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D. Div. (Old Testament)

AFRICAN AMERICAN SPIRITUALS AND THE BIBLE: SELECTING TEXTS FOR SECONDARY EDUCATION INSTRUCTIONMichael James Greenan (9719168) 15 December 2020 (has links)
<p>The research in this thesis attempts to select texts from the African American Spirituals and the Bible that are appropriate for secondary language arts instruction, specifically for grades 9-12. The paper first gives an overview of legal justifications and educational reasons for teaching religious literature in public schools. Then, relevant educational standards are discussed, and, using the standards as an initial guide, I identify common themes within the Spirituals and Bible, which, from my analysis of various literatures, are slavery, chosenness, and coded language. Next, I describe my systematic effort to choose texts from the Spirituals and the Bible. To help accomplish this, I draw primarily from two tomes: <i>Go Down Moses: Celebrating the African-American Spiritual</i> and <i>Biblical Literacy: The Essential Bible Stories Everyone Needs to Know</i>. After I describe the research process of selecting texts, I form judgments about which biblical passages and African American Spirituals are particularly worthy of study, along with their applicable and mutual themes. </p>
