The Logos, Trinity and Incarnation in early Greek apologeticsPaterson, Torquil January 1978 (has links)
From Preface: This study has a two-fold nature. In one sense the focus of attention is on the Apologists. The chapters on Clement and Athanasius attempt to follow through the basic questions raised by the Apologists. But in the other sense, what I have presented is four independent studies dealing with Justin, the other Apologists, Clement and Athanasius's Contra Gentes. Although much the same questions have been asked in all four sections, there has been no rigid attempt to systematize the answers. This may well be one of the strengths as well as one of the weaknesses of the work.

La réforme du sens théologique du sacrement de la Cène chez Huldrych ZwingliTrudel, Geneviève 19 May 2021 (has links)
Le but de notre recherche est de mettre en évidence le rôle original du réformateur Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) dans la transformation du sens théologique du sacrement de la Cène. Pour ce faire, nous exposons l'essentiel de sa théologie générale et sacramentaire pour en déduire sa théologie de la Cène. Nous adoptons une approche historico-critique qui nous permet d'analyser la démarche théologique de Zwingli avec un regard du vingt-et-unième siècle. Ceci nous permet de découvrir que Zwingli, rejetant la transsubstantiation catholique et la consubstantiation luthérienne, situe les paroles d'institution du sacrement de la Cène dans la prescription du mémorial: « Faites ceci en mémoire de moi ». Ainsi, pour Zwingli, ce qui confère à la Cène son statut de sacrement est, d'une part, la prescription du Christ et, d'autre part, le pain et le vin consommés sacramentellement et spirituellement par l'assemblée réunie dans la « vraie » foi en Christ Sauveur.

The apocalypse and its relevance to mission theology: an analysis of David Bosch's transforming eschatological paradigmWadhams, Michael Daniel 30 November 2003 (has links)
Within the first chapter I highlight the extent Platonism influenced modern eschatology and motives for mission.
This dualism led to separating divine and secular history and suited the philosophy of secular historians and theologian's who had no taste for divine reality purveying both everyday history, and individual lives.
The second chapter discusses how these views, because of Premillennial-Dispensationalism, created American fundamentalism that changed what motivates foreign and local missions. Oppression and the poor have become nothing more than the evidences of a corrupt world that is destined to be destroyed; hence, all stress is concentrated on saving individual souls from the wrath to come.
The third chapter consists in analysing David Bosch's aversion to this very notion and his reasons for avoiding apocalyptic language in many of his writings. I conclude in agreement with Bosch's motivation for mission and a similar view of eschatology which embraces a present realised kingdom and a future consummation thereof. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M.

The Khawaarij and the creed of takfeer : declaring a muslim to be an apostate and its effects upon modern day Islaamic movementsGreen, Craig Anthony 02 1900 (has links)
Islaam as a world religion is most often associated with terrorism and numerous bombings and conflicts around the globe. While, Islaam does not encourage these actions there exists movements within the Muslim community which use violence as a means of political expression similar to the early extremist Khawaarij sect who abused the concept of takfeer. Many modern day ideologues seem to adopt the main tenets of the Khawaarij creed and as a result exhort and carrying out actions of violence under the guise of Islaam. In addition, Western media, secularists, and United States policy also appears to have a direct role in fostering the growth of these movements. Therefore, there is a need for further study into the ideological roots of these groups, their actions, and how societies can look for solutions to combat their ideals before they evolve into terrorist actions. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M. A. (Islamic Studies)

God kies nie só nie : 'n dogmaties-historiese ondersoek op die tradisionele uitverkiesingsleerMienie, Johannes Diederick 02 1900 (has links)
Afrikaans text / Die uitverkiesingsleer is vanaf die vroeë Kerkgeskiedenis aan stryd gekenmerk, wat sedertdien geakkumuleer het. Die vername vrug hiervan is twee teenpole, naamlik Calvinisme teenoor Arminianisme. Hierdie entiteite blyk onversoenbaar te wees en impliseer twee groot vrae wat `n derde vraag (of moontlikheid) antisipeer, naamlik dat daar oor beide gevra moet word: Kies God só? `n Verdere vraag onstaan, naamlik of die Christelike gemeenskap met hierdie toestand tevrede kan wees, veral terwyl blyk dat hierdie stryd intensiveer.
In hierdie dogmaties-historiese ondersoek blyk dit dat die antwoord op hierdie vraag negatief is: God kies nie só nie. Die bedoeling is nie om met harde beslistheid `n oordeel te fel nie, maar is dit deel van die soeke na `n beter begrip van hierdie leerstuk wat soveel energie in beslag geneem het en tot verdeeldheid binne die Christendom gelei het. Derhalwe word voorgestel dat daar in hierdie doolhoof `n moontlike middeweg tussen die twee ongenaakbare sienings, óf `n alternatief, weg van die tradisionele is.
Die doel hiervan is egter nie om die tradisionele uitverkiesingsleer met `n absolute alternatief te vervang nie, maar eerder bydraend in die soeke na `n oplossing te wees. Derhalwe is die bedoeling hiervan nie om enige tradisionele siening op `n destruktiewe manier te kritiseer, of deur `n eulogie te kanoniseer as eksklusief-waaragtig nie.
In hierdie literêre ondersoek word die ganse uitverkiesingsleer nie hanteer nie. Daar word as verteenwoordigende model veral op die probleem binne Protestantse kringe gekonsentreer – spesifiek op die probleem onder fundamentele evangelies-gesindes. Die klem of fokus word vernou om langs die tradisionele hoofmomente van Augustinus/Pelagius en Calvinisme/Arminianisme by die sogenaamde „Evangelicals‟ uit te kom. Hierdie stuk bepaal sigself dus by die evangeliese stroom binne die Protestantisme.
Behalwe vir `n historiese oorsig, word kritiek op die tradisionele uitverkiesingsleer gelewer. Daar word ook op die Vyf Punte van Calvinisme gefokus, aangesien dit redelik verteenwoordigend van dié leer is. Besondere probleme, wat steeds heersend is, word uitgewys, waarna alternatiewe in die soeke na `n oplossing hanteer word. Uiteindelik word `n voortgesette, volgehoue en gemeenskaplike soeke na `n antwoord op die vraag: “Hoe kies God?”, voorgestel. / The doctrine of predestination is since the early beginnings of Church History featured by strife which is currently accumulating. A prominent result hereof is the entity of Calvinism, with its antipole, Arminianism. These entities seem to be irreconcilable and imply two major questions with the anticipation of a third, namely that it should be asked of both: Does God choose in this manner? A further question arises, namely if the Christian community is satisfied with this condition, especially when it seems that this strife is intensifying.
In this dogmatic-historical enquiry it seems that the answer is negative: God does not choose in this manner. The intention is not to pass decisive judgement, but rather to obtain a better understanding of this doctrine which led to division and discord within Christianity. Consequently a possible middle course is proposed between these two entities, or an alternative, away from the traditional tendentiousness.
The purpose hereof is not to replace the traditional doctrine of predestination with an absolute alternative, but rather contributing in search for a solution. Therefore the intention is not to criticize any traditional view in a destructive manner nor, on the other hand, canonize it as exclusively veracious.
This literary study will not cover all aspects of the doctrine of predestination. The problem with this doctrine under fundamental, evangelicals will be taken as a model and the focus of this study. The focus will be further narrowed to the traditional momentums of Augustine/Pelagius and Calvinism/Arminianism which culminates in the evangelical movement. This study confines itself basically to Protestantism.
Except for the historical review, criticism will be provided on the traditional doctrine of predestination. This will also focus on the Five Points of Calvinism, seeing that it is representative of this doctrine. Particular prevailing problems will be pointed out where after proposals for a solution will be suggested. Finally a continued, sustained and common search for an answer to the question: “In which manner does God choose?”, will be proposed. / Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics / D. Th.

A baptist theology of the childMiller, Gordon Goldsbury 11 1900 (has links)
Baptists, who have traditionally emphasised the authority of
Scripture, agree strongly that New Testament teaching and
practice allows them to baptize only believers upon
profession of ~aith. There are, however, many remaining
questions concerning the relation of children to God and the
place of children in the church which are not as
straightforwardly answered in Scripture; here Baptists often
display little consensus.
Although the principles of corporate solidarity and of
individual responsibility operate in both Testaments, the
development of individual responsibility, already apparent
within later Old Testament history, is carried further in the
New Testament where there is evidence of some breakdown in
family solidarity and of division on the basis of individual
allegiance to Jesus. Discussion of the place of the child in
the early church to the fourth century centres around
questions of original sin, the 'innocence' of children, the
rise of infant baptism and the catachumenate. The historical
survey also investigates the development of Anabaptist, early
Baptist and modern Baptist views of childhood from the
sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.
Baptist perspectives in relation to four current issues in
the theology of the child are considered: original sin and
the 'age of accountability', infant salvation, 'faith
development' and child evangelism. The South African
situation is analysed by identifying amd interpreting areas
of agreement and areas of uncertainty indicated by the
results of a detailed questionnaire distributed amongst
Baptists during 1990-1991.
Baptists need to recognize that children of believers,
although not necessarily saved, are in a creative
relationship with the church, somewhat similar to that of the
catechumenate in the early church. Two particularly
problematic areas are the question of the appropriate age for
baptism, church membership and communion of children. This
is partly because although linked with faith rather than with
~ pastoral wisdom is needed to assess the evidence for
true faith in particular cases. In spite of the difficulties
to be faced, Baptist congregations and all Christians and
churches have much to gain from a careful consideration of
the theological issues related to the place of the child in
the church. / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / D. Th. (Systematic Theology)

The influence of some ancient philosophical and religious traditions on the soteriology of early ChristianityGibson, Jan Albert 08 1900 (has links)
When reading the Bible in an independent way, i.e., not through the
lenses of any official Church dogma, one is amazed by the many
voices that come through to us. Add to this variety the literary finds
from Nag Hammadi, as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls, then the
question now confronting many spiritual pilgrims is how it came
about that these obviously diverse theologies, represented in the so-called
Old and New Testaments, were moulded into only one
"orthodox" result. In what way and to what degree were the many
Christian groups different and distinctive from one another, as well as
from other Jewish groups? Furthermore, what was the influence of
other religions, Judaism, the Mysteries, Gnostics and Philosophers on
the. development, variety of groups and ultimately on the
consolidation of "orthodox" soteriology? / Philosophy Practical and Systematic Theology / Th.M. (Systematic Theology)
