1	Sara och Rut : Om gamla testamentets matriarkala mödrar ur ett tidlöst perspektiv i en mansdominerad värld / Sara and Ruth : The matriarch mothers of the old testament from a timeless perspective in a male preoccupied world Nyman Wikström, Maria January 2017 (has links) The purpose of this study is to investigate Sarah and Ruth – the matriarchs and women of The Old Testament – as women in a world dominated by men, and the issue in this study is about what contextual symbolism and function Sarah and Ruth have with the starting point from their contextual roles and status in a world of patriarchs. The method of this study is the hermeneutic attempt to create an interpretive community combined with descriptions from religious texts and research. This study comes to the conclusion that the biblical women Sarah and Ruth in their chosenness have the gift and values of timelessness sprung from virtues of faithful love, smartness, firmness, pride and loyalty in a world where men, for good and for worse, set the boundaries but women suffer the consequences.

2	AFRICAN AMERICAN SPIRITUALS AND THE BIBLE: SELECTING TEXTS FOR SECONDARY EDUCATION INSTRUCTION Michael 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> Education African American Spirituals Bible Spirituals English Education African Americans Slavery Chosenness Coded Language Themes Secondary Education High School Curriculum Texts Interpretation Religion Christianity Judaism Scripture Critical Thinking Hebrew Bible New Testament Literature Blacks Selecting Texts Exodus Revelation Go Down Moses Biblical Literacy Standards Religious Texts Bound for Canaan Land Daniel Obama Religious texts in public schools language arts secondary instruction negro spirituals Moses Frederick Douglass John Brown's Body A Promised Land biblical interpretation biblical allusions allusions sorrow songs W.E.B.
