<p>This study attempts to determine Paul's meaning when he declares in Rom 1:18, "the wrath of God is revealed from heaven" (NRSV). Two questions in particular are addressed. First, what is the wrath of God? And, second, how is it revealed? Both questions are answered in the literary and theological context of Rom 1:16-3:26, where the revelation of wrath parallels that the righteousness (1:17, 3:21-26). A review of Paul's writings and scholarly literature shows that Paul uses both δικαιοσύνη θεοῡ and ὸρϒὴ θεοῡ as code-terms with a number of distinct but related meanings, categorized according to whether θεοῡ serves as a subjective genitive or a genitive of origin, wit further distinctions within reach category. While divine wrath and righteousness are revealed both eschatologically and, provisionally, in the present day, their most significant revelation takes place- simultaneously- as God's justice and mercy are vindicated in Christ's crucifixion and resurrection.</p> / Master of Theological Studies (MTS)

<p>This thesis considers how Christian ministers and other Christian workers may be trained to communicate the Christian message through public speaking, in a way that is Biblically sound, culturally appropriate and p edagogically inforrn ed. The data base for the thesis is a group of staff and students of Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship Canada who attended a training conference in evangelism in November 1995. Twenty-two of the delegates to this conference who opted to receive training in evangelistic speaking returned a questionnaire on their understanding and practice of evangelistic speaking. The results of this questionnaire were considered from four perspectives: Biblical material on evangelism and evangelistic speaking; current missiological considerations; contemporar5r cultural trends, particularly the growth of postmodernism; and recent writings in tl.e area of pedagogr. The conclusion proposes a model for training evangelistic speakers in the light of this material, a model which may be applied in parachurch and seminary settings.</p> / Doctor of Ministry (DMin)

<p>The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the reader to the person and work of social philosopher and social theorist Jürgen Habermas. It introduces pertinent aspects of Habermas's biography, and surveys a portion of his library of writings. It then explains Habermas's communication theory, specifically his theory of communicative action. Then, Habermas's theory of discourse ethics is introduced and explicated. This thesis culminates with an examination of the appropriateness and applicability of Habermas's theory of discourse ethics for the development of a contemporary Christian ethic.</p> / Master of Divinity (M.Div)
