How the Markan Reader Understands Jesus Through John/Elijah
John, Elijah, or One of the Prophets: How the Markan Reader Understands Jesus Through John/Elijah by Donald Stephen Black A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Biblical Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy awarded by the University of St. Michael's College. © Copyright By Donald Stephen Black 2012 John, Elijah, or One of the Prophets: How the Markan Reader Understands Jesus Through John/Elijah Donald Stephen Black Doctor of Philosophy University of St. Michael’s College 2012 Abstract A primary concern of the Gospel of Mark is the identity and fate of Jesus. In service to this, the Gospel develops a secondary interest in the identity and fate of John The Baptist. John, as Elijah redivivus, provides reasons to believe that Jesus is the Christ, provides a grid by which Jesus’ ministry and identity can be comprehended, and helps justify and explicate the unexpected death of the Messiah. This is accomplished through various literary devices throughout the narrative. For them to be fully effective it is necessary for the implied reader to be actively involved. The fact that Jesus’ identity and John’s identity are not adequately acknowledged within the narrative suggests that the plot moves towards a recognition of both of these figures. Jesus’ identity and John’s identity are related, in such a way that a recognition of John’s witness and identity leads towards a recognition of Jesus’ identity and fate. To understand John is to understand Jesus, and to misunderstand John is to misunderstand Jesus. -

Naydenov, MDiv. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2015 ABSTRACT THE UNSETTLED CHURCH: THE SEARCH FOR IDENTITY AND RELEVANCE IN THE ECCLESIOLOGIES OF NICHOLAS HEALY, EPHRAIM RADNER, AND DARRELL GUDER Emanuel D. Naydenov, MDiv. Marquette University, 2014 This dissertation examines the efforts of three contemporary theologians whose work is a part of the search for a new methodology for doing ecclesiology located on the continuum between the Church’s identity and relevance. They are the Catholic theologian Nicholas Healy, Anglican theologian Ephraim Radner, and Presbyterian theologian Darrell Guder. They come to the subject matter from different ecclesiological backgrounds, and, as such, their work can be taken as representative in as much as it stands for their unique efforts to theologize within their own traditions and contexts. -
After May 10Th Where Now?
Published by Organise!, 40 Bedford Street, Belfast, BT2 7FF strike action between 12pm and 2pm. Not all of the NIPSA members balloted th were able to get out on strike on the After May 10 day. Many workers in smaller, contracted out, departments, felt they were forced to go to work. NIPSA had not given their employers the legal minimum notice for strike action so workers were threatened that going Where Now? out would be illegal. It is being reported that another strike date has been set for June. In taking action we are showing that we won‟t sit back and see this capitalist „crisis‟ used as yet another excuse to rob us. It is not enough that we are robbed day in and day out as a result of capitalist exploitation - the bosses and their lackeys in government are tightening the screws while their profits soar and they spend billions on privatisation and war. Only the working class can defeat the „austerity‟ measures that are crushing us all, in both the public and private sector, in and out of work. We have the power together to grind their economy to a standstill - hitting the bosses and politicians in the pockets for a change. The most effective means of defeating this onslaught is through a general strike. Nothing less will succeed - to do it we need to organise all working class people, public and private sector, in the unions and outside them, employed and unemployed, women and men, students, and migrant workers. Striking workers say no to pensions Belfast and Derry. -

Il n’a pas l’ambition de faire le tour du vaste problème des abus sexuels au sein de l’Église catholique. • La première partie évoque la vague de révélations concernant les abus sexuels par- tie des États-Unis vers l’Europe pour toucher finalement aussi le tiers monde. Elle résume la manière dont certains pays ont répondu aux demandes des victimes. Elle rappelle brièvement l’attitude et les réactions de l’Église catholique. Elle s'interroge sur les facteurs qui ont pu favoriser de si nombreux abus et qui inquiètent encore aujourd’hui des prêtres, des religieux, mais aussi les fidèles. -

Vile Gesture’ Pope Benedict XVI Condemns New Year’S Day Bomb Blast Outside a Christian Church in the Country

He added that the attack was part of a ‘strategy of violence that targets Christians,’ and which has neg- ative repercussions on the entire population as well as offering prayers for the victims and their families. Bomb in Egypt The car bomb explosion, outside the Saints Coptic Christian Church in Alexandria in the first minutes of the New Year on Saturday, killed at least 23 peo- ple and injured almost 100 more as worshippers gathered to celebrate. -
Jesus As Revealer Karl Rahner, Dorothee Soelle, Roger Haight
CHAPTER 1 u Jesus as Revealer Karl Rahner, Dorothee Soelle, Roger Haight As Western societies became increasingly secular- ized in the twentieth century, the existence of God ceased to be a basic assumption for many people. Experiences of the absence or “eclipse” of God became an important theme in Western thought.1 This was partly caused by a major change in the way reality was viewed in Western societies.2 In the premodern thought of Plato and Aristotle, Augustine, Julian of Norwich, and Aquinas, the world was seen as existing within a transcendent framework of meaning. It was in relation to tran- scendent reality that human life found its mean- ing and could find fulfillment. This view of the world came to be replaced in Western societies by another, in which reality is seen in an immanent framework with no intrinsic reference to any transcendent reality. In the dominant ethos of Western moder- nity, the world and humanity are seen as self-sufficient and compre- hensible without reference to God. Here, life is conducted and found meaningful according to what can be calculated and planned. In this modern worldview, religion has an ambivalent place. It can be use- ful for moral instruction, character formation, and as an aid to social order. But it isn’t necessary as such and it can give rise to violence and impede social progress. 7 Contemporary Christologies This new immanent worldview and the secular societies and life- styles based on it helped give rise to a sense of separation from God that was not addressed by models of the atonement focused on how Jesus relieves one of guilt, strengthens one against moral weakness, or gives hope that counters fear of death.
