  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Blackbird Leys a Thirty Year History
    Blackbird Leys A thirty year history And a celebration of forty years of The Church of the Holy Family The story of an ecumenical church growing out of nothing on a new council estate built in the 60’s. 1 Foreword At the beginning of 1990 it was suggested that a history should be written up ready for the 30th Anniversary of Holy Family Church in June that year. Jack Argent, the Chairman of the Church Committee, and Church Warden, for most of those 30 years was planning to do this, but with his sudden death in March 1990 nothing had been started. As I have lived on the estate for 32 years, and been a member of Holy Family Church since it first began, I was asked to produce an article for the Church Magazine. It proved to be such and interesting task looking through the folders of letters, Minutes and Magazines that I offered to write up the history in more detail. The following I hope is a glimpse of life on an outer city estate. Dorothy Fox, Oxford, 1990. Foreword to 2005 edition This year we are celebrating forty years of Holy Family Church since it’s dedication on 10th April 1965. This anniversary and the associated celebrations prompted a number of people to regret that Dorothy’s history was no longer in print so it was decided to reprint the text with a few new illustrations. As part of our celebrations a number of people have written appreciations of Holy Family Church for the Church Magazine.

  • A Very Dangerous Man
    A VERY DANGEROUS MAN BEGINNINGS In 1939 the prospect of an invasion along the Sussex coastal plain persuaded my parents to send me away to boarding school. We lived outside the city of Chichester. I was five years old. At Branksome Hilders, a prep school near Haslemere in Surrey, ’in the hills’ beyond the South Downs, I would be safe. Boarding schools in those days were reckoned to provide the best preparation for life. The regime ‘toughened you up’ made you self-sufficient and self reliant. I belonged to the generation that encouraged a stiff upper lip. My abrupt departure at an early age felt like an amputation. The notion of home vanished, the trunk forever packed, unpacked and re-packed, a portable school boy’s coffin. Being parents did not come easy to my mother and father. I remembered my father as passive, taciturn and private. We always shook hands as though we had just been introduced. I knew little about him. When he grew older I hoped he might open up and tell me more about his life. One of the pleasures for me as a young vicar would be visiting residential homes and listening to stories of elderly women describing high points in their lives, such as seeing Queen Victoria stopping at Mitcham Junction in the Royal Train (‘a grumpy little old woman!’). Talking about the past did not interest my father and he vouchsafed nothing about himself. My own researches revealed he had been brought up in a seventeenth century manor house, Croesnewyd Hall near Wrexham, rented by my grandfather, a gentleman 1 farmer who late in life married a much younger woman and started a family.
