This essay examines Marian Keyes's views on love, happiness, setbacks and unfaithfulness which are common themes in her novels. These themes are discussed in Keyes's chick lit novels "Watermelon" and "Lucy Sullivan is getting married". Some background information about this genre is also presented. Finally, it becomes evident that Marian Keyes has used a lot of her own experiences when writing these novels, in terms of love, happiness and obstacles in finding love and happiness. / <p>Validerat; 20101217 (root)</p>

The traditional Christian doctrines of atonement have been widely critized for expressing a violent image of God, and for having serious misogynist consequenses. In this thesis I start by presenting some feminist critics of the objective, subjective and classical view, but my main objective is to discuss the question of feminism and soteriology through the lens of Selma Lagerlöf’s narrative Kejsarn av Portugallien (The Emperor of Portugallia). Selma Lagerlöf’s stories have been used before in theological contexts, mainly through Margareta Brandby-Cöster who detects lutheran undercurrents in Lagerlöfs writings, which I also present in this thesis. Kejsarn av Portugallien deals with the redemption between a father and a daughter, and has some parallels with the subjective and the classical view of atonement, but doesn’t fully align with any of the doctrines. I have found that there are some important themes and imagery in Kejsarn av Portugallien that can be used in a feminist discussion about soteriology. It opens up for a debate on sin, the issues with a male saviour, suffering, images of God and performativity.

<p>Den här uppsatsen behandlar Holmes Rolston IIIs bok ”Environmental Ethics” och den teori som författaren där för fram angående naturens värde. Syftet är att klargöra hur naturen är värdefull enligt Rolston samt att kritiskt granska de argument som förs fram.</p><p>Uppsatsen har tre delar. En introduktion som i korthet presenterar teorier om etisk naturalism, antropocentrisk etik, det naturalistiska misstaget, intrinsikala värden samt distinktionen mellan kultur och natur. Detta syftar till att placera den kommande diskussionen i en tydlig kontext.</p><p>Efter introduktionen följer del ett, som behandlar Rolstons teori. Där tas upp Rolstons syn på naturhistoria, värdeteori samt hur han menar att naturen är moraliskt normativ.</p><p>Den sista delen tar upp kritik mot Rolstons teori. Där ifrågasätts Rolstons syn på objektiva värden, liksom synen på naturen som moraliskt normativ. Slutsatsen är att Rolstons teori har många problematiska punkter och att han bör betraktas i första hand som en visionär.</p>

<p>Denna uppsats studerar Sodom och Gomorraberättelsen både med avseende på tillkomsthistoria och undersöker även hur den har förmedlats vidare i den judiska tolkningstraditionen. Den centrala frågeställning är huruvida denna denna berättelse handlar om sexuell synd eller ej. Har den alltid används för fördömandet av homosexuella? Det tydliga svaret som undersökningen visar är nej! Uppsatsen behandlar också Leviticus text rörande homosexuella relationer samt ger tolkningsförslag till denna.</p>

<p>Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om katarerna ska räknas som heretiker, vilket har varit fallet från medeltiden och framåt eller om de egentligen borde räknas som urkristna vilket de själva ansåg och varför forskningen är motstridig i denna fråga.</p>

<p>Abstract</p><p>The purpose of this paper is to examine how the religious education is implemented in junior and grammar school. As a base for my examination I used two private schools and two municipal schools. My main goal was to get a better view of the content of the education, the treatment of the students and the conditions for the students to get a greater understanding and respect for others’ religious beliefs and opinions through education. To reach this goal I did interviews and field studies which means that the paper has a qualitative approach.</p><p>The examination showed clearly that the private schools spend a lot more education time on their respective religions while the municipal schools have a more comprehensive education. Regarding the treatment of the students I could not find any differences since all of the</p><p>schools gave the students space to express their opinions and thoughts. However there are clear differences when it comes to understand others’ opinions and respect other people’s religious views, since the students in the private schools only meet students with the same religion and views; they do not meet other students who do not share their thoughts.</p>

<p>The purpose of this essay has been to identify a couple of different factors that matter when a teacher chooses method and raw material for teaching his students. The person interviewed is a man, whose lesson I also observed. The result shows that there are several factors of great importance for his choice. My conclusion of this is that this teacher’s choice depends on the school as institution with all the people that operate there, the composition of the students and the school’s curriculum, but this teacher’s pedagogical basic view also has a great importance for his teaching.</p>

<p>Abstract</p><p>The purpose with this essay is to present a picture of the changes in religious education in Sweden, and to make comparisons between Denmark’s and the USA’s model about teaching in religion. I have consequently described the historical development, with the beginning of the establishement of the public school, inte the year of 1842. 1919, a new document about the religious education was released, wich result in some major changes. This was in a time were the debate about religion and the Lutheran State Church of Sweden authority was an issue. The result was, among others, the abolition of the catechism as an educational material and the teaching of religion was given a considerable reduced amount of hours and the teaching was now supposed to be non-confessional. Then, in the 1960:s even more changes was about, and the teaching of religion was now supposed to share the teacher and the hours with three other subjects. This was in a time when christianity and religion over all had come in to question. Objectivity was the leading word in this new curriculum.</p><p>In the USA there is no curriculum for teaching religion in the public school, a desicion characterized with the ideology of the religious neutral state. In Denmark there is religious teaching, with a strong emphasis on christianity.</p>
