Many celebrations of a spiritual nature will commemorate this year which is of special significance to our congregation. When the year is over, and so that we do not forget the many valuable insights we have received about our founder, it was thought appropriate to update the history of our congregation. To see its growth and development since Chigwell and LIKE TO A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED were written, Sister Rosemary Clerkin did a monu­ mental task of research to find the necessary data. She travelled far and. wide, both to interview people and to peruse the many manuscripts which yielded a wealth of relevant information. A HEART FOR OTHERS, is the history of our Sisters' labour of love, spanning one hundred and sixteen years.

  • Paul in Rome: a Case Study on the Formation and Transmission of Traditions
    PAUL IN ROME: A CASE STUDY ON THE FORMATION AND TRANSMISSION OF TRADITIONS Pablo Alberto Molina A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: James Rives Bart Ehrman Robert Babcock Zlatko Plese Todd Ochoa © 2016 Pablo Alberto Molina ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Pablo Molina: Paul in Rome: A Case Study On the Formation and Transmission of Traditions (Under the direction of James Rives) Paul is arguably the second most important figure in the history of Christianity. Although much has been written about his stay and martyrdom in Rome, the actual circumstances of these events — unless new evidence is uncovered — must remain obscure. In this dissertation I analyze the matter from a fresh perspective by focusing on the formation and transmission of traditions about Paul’s final days. I begin by studying the Neronian persecution of the year 64 CE, i.e. the immediate historical context in which the earliest traditions were formed. In our records, a documentary gap of over thirty years follows the persecution. Yet we may deduce from chance remarks in texts written ca. 95-120 CE that oral traditions of Paul’s death were in circulation during that period. In chapter 2, I develop a quantitative framework for their contextualization. Research has shown that oral traditions, if not committed to writing, fade away after about eighty years. Only two documents written within that crucial time frame have survived: the book of Acts and the Martyrdom of Paul (MPl).
