ABSTRACT A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE CONCEPT OF ATONEMENT IN THE ABOAKYER FESTIVAL OF THE EFFUTU TRIBE IN GHANA AND THE YOM KIPPUR FESTIVAL OF THE OLD TESTAMENT: IMPLICATIONS FOR ADVENTIST MISSION AMONG THE EFFUTU by Emmanuel H. Takyi Chair: Gorden R. Doss ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE ATONEMENT CONCEPT IN THE ABOAKYER FESTIVAL OF THE EFFUTU TRIBE IN GHANA AND THE YOM KIPPUR FESTIVAL OF THE OLD TESTAMENT: IMPLICATION FOR ADVENTIST MISSION AMONG THE EFFUTU Name of researcher: Emmanuel H. Takyi Name and degree of faculty adviser: Gorden R. Doss, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2015. Statement of Problem History records that Christian missions have operated in Winneba since 1865 with various approaches being used to share the gospel with the Effutu. Though there have been successes, allegiance of the Effutu to their tribal gods, manifested especially during the Aboakyer festival, raises the need for a missiological bridge or intervention for an effective contextualized ministry among the Effutu of Winneba. Purpose of Study This research aims to develop a missiological model based on a comparative study of the OT Yom Kippur festival and the Effutu Aboakyer festival that will potentially facilitate more effective Adventist mission among the Effutu. Method To understand the concept of atonement, a literature review studied the concept of atonement in two parts—the biblical view (comprising the Old Testament and New Testament views), and the African Traditional Religion (ATR) perspective. Second an ethnographic research on the Effutu Aboakyer was done to understand its context, particularly, the origins, history, and the rituals of the Aboakyer festival. This involved individual and group interviews as well as participant observation. Using the comparative approach method, comparison and contrast between the Aboakyer and Yom Kippur, with its typological meaning (pointing to ultimate reality), was done to find (a) similarities between them that reveal points of contact and that will make Yom Kippur comprehensible to the Effutu; and also (b) differences that reveal inadequacies in their understanding of atonement that can be remedied by accepting the biblical model of atonement through two phases of atonement provided by Christ's sacrifice. A missiological model that comprehensively and effectively addresses the Effutu situation was accordingly proposed. Conclusion Based upon the redemptive analogies (similarities) found in the analysis, and the differences that posed as challenges, the Yom Kippur, expressing the biblical model of atonement, was proposed as the appropriate modus operandi that will potentially facilitate a more effective incarnational mission among the Effutu. This model, which elucidates the two phases of atonement provided by Christ’s sacrifice, was found to have the remedy for the inadequacies (differences) of the Effutu in their understanding of atonement and also the theological insights to give the sanctuary message its eschatological emphasis needed for this time. The model will also put the Effutu history and cosmology into biblical perspective and help the Effutu direct their sacrifices and worship to God rather than the lesser gods.

  • Read the 34 Letters to Paul Carron. Pgs 187-304
    : 8. LETTERS TO PAUL CARRON Paul Carron studied at the Seminary of St. Sulpice in Paris and was quickly noticed on account of his outstanding piety and talents. Immediately after his ordination, he be- came secretary to the Archbishop of Paris. The numerous letters Father Libermann addressed to him indicate the last- ing spiritual friendship between those two zealous men. 123 Trials draw us closer to Jesus. Letter One lssy, September 21, 1836 Vol. 1, p. 324 Dear Confrere May the good Lord preserve you in His peace and most holy love. You probably blame me very much for having received your two letters and not having answered a single one of them. It is unpardonable, isn't it? And yet it is not a great fault on my part. I would have replied immediately after I had received your first letter, but I had to leave a few days later. I thought I would be able to see you before my letter would have reached you, for I reckoned that you would re- main at lssy during the whole Octave, and my letter would have reached your place during your absence. Regarding the second, I wanted absolutely to send you the enclosed papers, and they were not ready at that time. Mr. de la Bruniere. who had the job of copying them, was somewhat behind in his task. Anyhow, provided you love God, and I also, we can both of us be satisfied. I should have been very glad to see you at lssy. One of the reasons why I hastened to leave Strasbourg was that I might come in time; God did not wish it.

Hickey, Chair Professor Susanna Elm Professor Maria Mavroudi Professor Carlos Noreña Spring 2012 Watering the Desert: Environment, Irrigation, and Society in the Premodern Fayyūm, Egypt © 2012 by Brendan James Haug Abstract Watering the Desert: Environment, Irrigation, and Society in the Premodern Fayyūm, Egypt by Brendan James Haug Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Todd M. Hickey, Chair Through a study of its natural environment and irrigation system, this dissertation investigates the evolution of the landscape of Egypt’s Fayyūm depression across sixteen centuries, from the third century BCE to the thirteenth century CE. From the evidence of Greek papyri, Arabic fiscal documentation, early modern travel literature, archaeology, and contemporary scientific work, I chart the changes in human relationships with earth and water over time, changes which constantly altered the inhabited and cultivated regions of the Fayyūm. My main argument throughout is that it was local agency and not state governments that continuously remade the landscape. The history of the Fayyūm after the fourth century CE has long been viewed by ancient historians as one of decline from its ancient heights due to the failure of the late Roman and Muslim successor states to properly manage its irrigation system. I locate the genesis of this narrative within nineteenth century perceptions of the docility of nature and the belief that ancient governments had achieved centralized control over the Nile and the Egyptian environment.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
