  • Jesuit Responses to Native American Dreams in the Early Seventeenth Century
    DISCERNING DREAMS IN NEW FRANCE: JESUIT RESPONSES TO NATIVE AMERICAN DREAMS IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Deirdre C. McMurtry, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Approved By Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Advisor Professor Matt Goldish ____________________________________ Professor Alice Conklin Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT Recent scholarship on the seventeenth-century Jesuit-Amerindian encounter in New France has emphasized the cultural disruptiveness and loss of the various native groups as a result of the missionary project. Crucial to understanding this loss of traditional Amerindian culture, however, is a parallel understanding of the cultural and intellectual forces coming from Europe which shaped and often restricted the Jesuits’ attitudes toward native customs. Examining the first fifty years of the cross-cultural encounter through the lens of dream interpretation, this paper argues that the Jesuits made several adjustments to their initial assumptions and responses toward native dreams. Although the Jesuits originally denounced all native dreams as superstitious, the advent of native convert dreams forced the Jesuits to recognize the placement of at least some native dreams within traditional Christian categories of visions and miracles, even though some of these dreams retained characteristics which they condemned in traditional native dreams. Over time, however, the Jesuits’ accommodating policy drew criticisms from competing missionaries. Because the dispute centered on events in China rather than Canada, the acceptability of convert dreams was resolved first by a silence on the issue in public records and later by a retraction of the papal condemnation of the Chinese Rites ruling and certain accomodationist practices.

    Journal of Language Contact 6 (2013) 243–270 brill.com/jlc Challenges and Benefits of Contact among Relatives: Morphological Copying Marianne Mithun Department of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara [email protected] Abstract Hierarchies of borrowability typically rank morphology as the most resistant to transfer of all aspects of language. Several explanations have been offered. One is that copying takes place primarily between typologically similar systems, and morphology is one of the ways languages can differ the most. Another is that more tightly integrated structures are more resistant to copy­ ing, and morphology is inherently tightly integrated. It has also been pointed out that copying depends on speakers establishing equivalence relations between elements of the languages in contact. Morphology may be less accessible to speaker consciousness than other aspects of language. Insight into contributing factors may come from contact situations involving related languages. Such languages are usually similar typologically. But they also present a major challenge: distinguishing contact effects from common inheritance and drift. Certain favorable circumstances can enhance their potential contributions. Most helpful are established genea­ logical relationships among the languages, a documented history of contact, morphological complexity, and sound changes diagnostic of copied forms. Examples here are drawn from Tuscarora, a Northern Iroquoian language. The Tuscarora separated from the other Northern Iroquoians early and spent perhaps two millennia in the American Southeast on their own. After they rejoined their relatives in the Northeast, there was close contact and intermarriage for two centuries. The languages share complex but similar morphologies. Extensive copying of forms can be discerned: not only whole words, but also bound stems, roots, and affixes.

  • Theological Method Fall 2013 Aug
    HOUSTON GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY TH/PH 710 Theological Method Fall 2013 Aug. 29-Dec. 12; Thursdays 5:30-8:00 Dr. Doug Kennard, Professor of New Testament 713-942-9505 [email protected] The mission of Houston Graduate School of Theology is empowering spiritual leadership through the intellectual, spiritual, and vocational development of men and women in order to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. I. COURSE DESCRIPTION The course is an analytical study of theological method examining the rival philosophical and traditional contributions of philosophy of science and religion, theology, and historical exegesis as employed in the study of the historical Jesus. A Lakatos scientific and theological method is proposed to incorporate a critical realism that includes rational and analytical arguments for God with a linguistically empirical hermeneutic confirmed through a Piercian pragmatic spiral individually and with peer review (a la Thiselton and Ricoeur). From this exegesis, biblical theology is proposed to substantially populate the theological agenda (as was initially proposed by Gabler), within the philosophical and theological framework demonstrated. This constructive theological expression will be contextualized to missional ministry. III. COURSE OBJECTIVES (TEST REVIEW: A-I) Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to: A. Define and describe various epistemologies and evaluate the relative merits of each for doing theology (exam). B. Determine one’s particular epistemology, describe it, and make an apologetic defense for it (exam). C. Determine one’s particular theological method, describe it, and make an apologetic defense of it (exam). D. Define various religious language views, identify their relationships to epistemologies and theological method, and evaluate the relative merits of each of them for doing theology (exam).
