  • The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: a Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament
    The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: A Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament by Geoffrey Boyle A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Geoffrey Boyle 2019 The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: A Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament Geoffrey Robert Boyle Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael's College 2019 Abstract Of the various sense-making attempts to understand the relation of Christ to the Old Testament over the last century, there is a noticeable absence of any substantial presence. Christ is prophesied, witnessed, predicted, typified, and prefigured; but apart from a few alleged christophanic appearances, he is largely the subject of another, historically subsequent Testament. This thesis surveys the christological approaches to the Old Testament since the early 20th century breach made within historicism, introduces a patristic mindset, proposes an ontological foundation to a sacramental (real-presence) approach, then demonstrates this through a reading of Zechariah 9-14. The goal is to bring together three arenas of study—exegetical, historical, theological—and demonstrate how their united lens clarifies the substantial referent of Scripture, namely Christ. The character of the OT witness is thus presented in christological terms, suggesting a reading that recognizes the divine person within the text itself, at home in the sensus literalis. By way of analogy to the Cyrillian hypostatic union and a Lutheran eucharistic comprehension, the task is to show how one encounters the hypostasis of Christ by means of the text’s literal sense.

  • Faith in Conflict: a Study of British Experiences in the First World War with Particular Reference to the English Midlands
    FAITH IN CONFLICT: A STUDY OF BRITISH EXPERIENCES IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE ENGLISH MIDLANDS by STUART ANDREW BELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The thesis addresses the question, ‘How did the First World War affect the religious faith of the people of Britain?’ The ways in which wartime preachers, hymn-writers, diarists and letter-writers expressed their faith are examined. For the vast majority, the War was both a military and a spiritual conflict of right against might and the rhetoric of a Holy War was popular. Questions of divine omnipotence and providence troubled many, the standard response being that war was a consequence of God’s gift of free will. The language of sacrifice dominated public discourse, with many asserting that the salvation of the fallen was ensured by their own sacrifice.

The opening chapter reviews previous approaches to the H.A. and is followed by a survey of Arator's interpretation and interpolation of baptismal material, showing both how those episodes in Acts which deal specifically with baptism are given extended exegetical attention, and how baptismal significance is frequently divined in passages which have no obvious baptismal connection.

  • The Russian Church, Religious Liberty and the World Council of Churches *
    The Russian Church, Religious Liberty and the World Council of Churches * MICHAEL BOURDEAUX Introduction The foes of peace seek to achieve their ends by a third world war, by destroying millions of peaceful, innocent people with nuclear warheads, by annihilating their cities and the treasures of their centuries-old cultural achievements. Thus the prim­ ary factor is the insatiable craving of the USA for new military gains and the economic and political domination of the world . Yet no matter how important for the Americans are their plans of global economic and political domination, no matter how strong the dollar, these are not the basis of their decision to employ their bombs. The overriding factor is their fear of socialism, which marches forward inexorably. These words were written not earlier this year in the worsening East­ West conflict; they are those of a spokesman for the Russian Orthodox Church printed in January 1948 in the Journal of the Moscow Patriar­ chate. I propose in this lecture to examine changing - or in some cases un­ .~hanging - Soviet attitudes to the world outside, particularly as seen through the relations of the Orthodox Church with one organisation, the World Council of Churches. I shall look at the complementary policy from the side of the WCC, narrowing the focus in the later part of the paper to the debate of the last decade and a half on religious liberty. With commendable breadth of vision, typical of its early days, leaders of the WCC had tried to be in contact with· the Russian Church even before the founding assembly in 1948.

  • Anzac Rituals – Secular, Sacred, Christian
    Anzac Rituals – Secular, Sacred, Christian Department of History School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney Darren Mitchell A thesis submitted in 2020 to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Signature: ------------------------------ Name: Darren Mitchell i Abstract This thesis will argue that Australia’s Anzac ceremonial forms emerged from Christian thinking and liturgy. Existing accounts of Anzac Day have focussed on the secular and Western classical forms incorporated into Anzac ritual and ignored or minimised the significant connection between Christianity and Anzac Day. Early Anzac ceremonies conducted during the Great War were based on Anglican forms, and distinctive commemorative components such as laying wreaths at memorials and pausing in silence, as well as the unique Australian ‘dawn service’ tradition which began ten years after war’s end, have their antecedents in religious customs and civic rites of the time. Anglican clergy played the leading role in developing this Anzac legacy - belief in Australia in the 1910s and 1920s remained predominantly Christian, with approximately half of believers being Anglican adherents - yet this influence on Anzac ritual has heretofore received scant acknowledgement in academic and popular commentary which views Anzac Day’s rituals as ‘secular’, devoid of religious tradition and in competition with it.

  • Ecumenical Church Renewal: the Example of the United Reformed Church
    ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY ECUMENICAL CHURCH RENEWAL: THE EXAMPLE OF THE UNITED REFORMED CHURCH Martin Frederick Camroux A Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted January 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing this thesis has been a delightful oasis of quiet and peace in the midst of a busy life. I am grateful to my family, my wife Margaret and my wonderful children, Eleanor and Michael, both for the practical help they have offered checking my manuscript for the seemingly endless grammatical errors and for their willingness to forego our normal discussions at dinner over the relevance of Kant’s critique of the ontological proof for the existence of God (or the like) for rather more arcane discussions such as the distinction between qualitative and quantitive research. I am especially grateful to my son Michael, the historian in the family, for his willingness to share his dissertation on Seebohm Rowntree with me. Anglia Ruskin University’s system of external supervision has enabled me to benefit from the endless encouragement and encyclopaedic understanding of the Revd. Dr. David Cornick, General Secretary of Churches Together in England, and before that Principal of Westminster College Cambridge and General Secretary of the United Reformed Church. Without David’s gentle support this thesis would not even have been conceivable. It has been a pleasure too to confirm that behind the façade of David’s Barthian exterior lies a genuinely liberal spirit. My supervisors at Anglia Ruskin, first Dr. Mary Abbot, and then, for most of the degree, Professor Sarah Brown, were both hugely helpful. I was continually amazed by the alacrity with which Sarah responded to my e-mails.

Revival and reformation, and 2. division-wide evangelistic advance. The implementation on a division-wide basis in the present quadrennium of plans for evangelistic advance will include and embrace every worker and member and every department of the church. We have set a goal of 20,000 baptisms for the quadrennium, which will result in a church membership by December of 1969 of 90,000. The various departments of the church have been established to assist the church and to make its soul-winning endeavors more effective. In this quadrennium our departmental leaders will seek to co-ordinate departmental activities as far as possible, consciously and consistently seeking to direct every endeavor into active and effective witnessing and soul winning.
