    In the Darkness Grows the Green: The Promise of a New Cosmological Horizon of Meaning Within a Critical Inquiry of Human Suffering and the Cross by Catherine A. Wright A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Catherine A. Wright 2015 In The Darkness Grows the Green: The Promise of a New Cosmological Horizon of Meaning Within a Critical Inquiry of Human Suffering and the Cross Catherine A. Wright Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Regis College and the University of St. Michael’s College 2015 Abstract Humans have been called “mud of the earth,”i organic stardust animated by the Ruah of our Creator,ii and microcosms of the macrocosm.iii Since we now understand in captivating detail how humanity has emerged from the cosmos, then we must awaken to how humanity is “of the earth” in all the magnificence and brokenness that this entails. This thesis will demonstrate that there are no easy answers nor complete theological systems to derive satisfying answers to the mystery of human suffering. Rather, this thesis will uncover aspects of sacred revelation offered in and through creation that could mould distinct biospiritual human imaginations and cultivate the Earth literacy required to construct an ecological theological anthropology (ETA). It is this ecocentric interpretive framework that could serve as vital sustenance and a vision of hope for transformation when suffering befalls us.

  • The Hermeneutics of Desire in Medieval English Devotional Literature
    The Hermeneutics of Desire in Medieval English Devotional Literature by Amanda Joan Wetmore A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Amanda Wetmore 2018 The Hermeneutics of Desire in Medieval English Devotional Literature Amanda Joan Wetmore Doctorate of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation explores the way medieval English devotional writers utilized the hermeneutics of contemporary biblical exegesis, in order to frame their depictions of an erotic and embodied encounter with the divine. The way they manipulate the construction of literal to allegorical realities enables—rather than constrains—the relationship of flesh to spirit, so that the desiring body does not disappear into discourse, but rather, language operates in service of the flesh, articulating a profoundly incarnational devotion, not divested of the body that produced it. My first chapter explores these themes in Aelred of Rievaulx's (died 1167 CE) De institutione inclusarum and De Iesu puero duodennni, where I examine the way Aelred constructs an economy of affect through his manipulation of readers' desire through the focalization of their gaze on the body of Christ. In my second chapter, I analyze John Whiterig's (died 1371 CE) Meditacio ad Crucifixum, and notably his erotic semiotics, and erotic interpretation of the Crucifixion, following a four-fold biblical exegesis. Third, I look at the way the The Cloud of Unknowing (late 1300s CE), as part of the “negative” or apophatic tradition, deconstructs some of the typical ideas of cataphatic devotion, positing its own way of accessing the indescribable divine, through darkness, silence, binding, and even anal eroticism.

  • 1. Victor Turner Lists These Three Aspects of Culture As “Exception- Ally Well Endowed with Ritual Symbols and Beliefs of Non-Structural Type” ( Dramas 231)
    Notes Introduction 1. Victor Turner lists these three aspects of culture as “exception- ally well endowed with ritual symbols and beliefs of non-structural type” ( Dramas 231). 2. Coatlicue (“Lady of the Serpent Skirt”) is an Aztec Mother Goddess associated with death. 3. According to Turner, an example of the institutionalization of liminality may be found in the monastic and mendicant states in various world religions ( The Ritual 107). 4. Walker, Encyclopedia 1077. 5. All translations from Spanish, Portuguese, French, Catalan, Polish, Russian, and Latin in this book are by the author, unless otherwise indicated. 6. For further discussion on this issue, see Sarlo 32–33 and Franco 223. 7. For a discussion of the sweetening of Kā l ī , see chapter 2 of this book. 8. Erndl, “The Play of the Mother” 152, among others. 9. I use the word “cult” to mean “devotion,” in the same way that culto is used in Spanish. 10. In spite of the great similarities among these divinities, there is no cross-cultural book in English or in any other language that discusses and compares Baba Yaga, K ā l ī , Pombagira, and Santa Muerte in the United States or in any other country. In fact, there is not even a work that links any two of them. While there are studies that discuss the Hindu goddess Kā l ī , such as Encountering K ā l ī by McDermott and Kripal, eds., Oh Terrifying Mother by Sarah Caldwell, and Kali by Elizabeth U. Harding, one book on Baba Yaga (Baba Yaga by Andreas Johns), one on Pombagira (Holy Harlots by Kelly Hayes), and one on Santa Muerte ( Devoted to Death by Andrew Chesnut), they focus exclu- sively on the Indian subcontinent, Russia, Brazil, and Mexico, respectively.

    A SANCTUARY IN TIME: EXPLORING GENESIS 1’s MEMORY OF CREATION by KYLE R.L. PARSONS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Master of Arts in Biblical Studies We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard .......................................................................................... Dr. Craig C. Broyles, Ph.D.; Thesis Supervisor .......................................................................................... Dr. Dirk L. Büchner, D.Litt.; Second Reader TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY April 2016 © Kyle R.L. Parsons !ii ABSTRACT Since the days of Wellhausen, pentateuchal scholarship has essentially agreed that Gen 1 and Gen 2 are from two distinct sources. Furthermore, they agree that Gen 1 was added in front of Gen 2 at a relatively late period during the pentateuch’s compositional history. Moving beyond these agreements, this thesis asks why Gen 1, and its cultural memory of creation, was added in front of Gen 2? In other words, what motivated a later group to come along and add Gen 1? To address this question, this thesis approaches Gen 1 methodologically as a cultural memory. A cultural memory is an authoritative representation of the past that is formed by the needs, concerns, and hopes of a particular group and also formative in constructing that group’s collective identity. But as a memory, it is interpreted as much as it is recalled through the context of the present. That is, the present circumstances, hopes, concerns, needs of the group shape and colour the way the past is remembered and therefore, the way the past is described. As such, this thesis argues that Gen 1 was intentionally added in order to primarily elevate the Sabbath to a position and status equal to the Temple/Tabernacle.
