A Vietnamese Moses : Philiphê Bỉnh and the geographies of early modern Catholicism /
No full text"A Vietnamese Moses is the story of Philiphê Binh, a Vietnamese Catholic priest who in 1796 traveled from Tonkin to the Portuguese court in Lisbon to persuade its ruler to appoint a bishop for his community of ex-Jesuits. Based on Binh's surviving writings from his thirty-seven-year exile in Portugal, this book examines how the intersections of global and local Roman Catholic geographies shaped the lives of Vietnamese Christians in the early modern era. The book also argues that Binh's mission to Portugal and his intense lobbying on behalf of his community reflected the agency of Vietnamese Catholics, who vigorously engaged with church politics in defense of their distinctive Portuguese-Catholic heritage. George E. Dutton demonstrates the ways in which Catholic beliefs, histories, and genealogies transformed how Vietnamese thought about themselves and their place in the world. This sophisticated exploration of Vietnamese engagement with both the Catholic Church and Napoleonic Europe provides a unique perspective on the complex history of early Vietnamese Christianity"--Publisher.Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-326) and index.Philiphê Bỉnh and the Catholic geographies of Tonkin -- A Catholic community in crisis -- Journeys : Macao, Goa, and Lisbon -- Arrival in Lisbon and first encounters -- Invoking the Padroado : Bỉnh and Prince Dom João -- Waiting for Bỉnh in Tonkin and Macao -- Life in Lisbon and the Casa do Espirito Santo, 1807-1833 -- The tales of Philiphê Bỉnh."A Vietnamese Moses is the story of Philiphê Binh, a Vietnamese Catholic priest who in 1796 traveled from Tonkin to the Portuguese court in Lisbon to persuade its ruler to appoint a bishop for his community of ex-Jesuits.

The Appeal of Exodus: The Characters God, Moses and Israel in the Rhetoric of the Book of Exodus
No full textThe present thesis offers a reading of the book of Exodus as a literary artifact. This is
accomplished through the investigation of its main literary characters Yhwh, Moses and
Israel. The text is understood to be part of a communicative situation between author and
reader. This hermeneutical claim and the nature of Exodus itself entail certain consequences
with regard to the method of enquiry. The method applied is a modified form of
rhetorical criticism, which is understood to provide an interpretive perspective on the text.
The particular focus is on the functional aspects of the text which direct the reading process
and thus guide the reader. Given the difficulties in determining the circumstances of
the origin of Exodus and the paucity of secured knowledge about early Israelite history, the
`implied reader' is introduced as a key-term. It is assumed that this implied reader informed
the inventio and dispositio of the book. Because of the book's central themes - identity
and relationship -a careful investigation of the characters is a worthy avenue to pursue.
Three characters have been chosen on account of their continuous involvement in the
plot. The introduction of each character into the plot receives special attention. The developing
portrayal of each character is closely linked to its paradigmatic qualities and to its influence
on the reader. First, the portrait of God is discussed, especially in relation to the
contributions of the narrative, poetic and legal parts of Exodus. The very important but
often neglected legal characterisation of Yhwh in Exodus is a topic of special interest. Although
the legal collections say much about their recipients, they also reveal deep insights
into the law-giver's nature and concerns. Yhwh is identified as the king who justly claims
obedience and service. A further focus is the possibility of the relationship between Israel
and their king, Yhwh. Second, with regard to Moses there is a significant difference between
his first appearance in Exod 2-5 and his later development. This remarkable tension
in the Mosaic portrayal reveals interesting insights into the implied reader's preconceptions.
Here we trace closely the argumentative strategy of the author in his attempts to convince
this reader. Furthermore, it is necessary to discuss the paradigmatic qualities of the character
Moses. Third, reader-identification is at the heart of the construction of Israel. Here the
historical gulf between the Israel of the narrative and the one of the implied reader is
bridged. The complexity of Israel is a central aspect of Exodus' rhetoric, urging its readers
to comply with the ideal which the author sought to communicate in his book.
The results of this study provide insights into the specific poetics of Exodus and its
management of the reading process. Because of the proposed unity of form and content, it
is possible to specify the message of the entire book by taking into account its intriguing
mixture of different genres. An abstraction from modern reading-conventions in the
encounter of ancient Hebrew texts is shown, and the possibility of reading the text on its
own terms is explored
Philo, the Gospel of John, and Two Moses Traditions: Traditionary Competition over a Cultural Icon
No full textThis article shows how Philo of Alexandria and the author of the Gospel of John represented Moses in contrasting ways within Hellenistic Judaism. It then argues that John's portrayal of Moses constitutes a contradiction to Philo's portrayal (and vice versa), suggesting that Philo and John represent two competing Moses traditions within first-century Judaism
Characterization and cooking performance of charcoal briquettes made solely from matooke peelings
No full textA dissertation submitted to the Directorate of Research and Graduate Training in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the Degree of Master of Science in Renewable Energy of Makerere University.Charcoal briquettes are an inexpensive alternative cooking fuel to wood charcoal and firewood, that can be made from loose biomass. Matooke is one of the most consumed foods in Uganda and the Great Lakes Region. It contributes the bulk of the organic household waste in regions where matooke is a staple food. This study was undertaken to; determine the yields of char and binder obtained from fresh matooke peels, produce charcoal briquettes using matooke peels as binder and char, characterize, and determine the cooking performance of the charcoal briquettes made. Matooke peelings were collected, sun dried and processed to make both binder and char feed material. Briquette samples of 1000 grams of char blended with matooke peels binder solution of; 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% dry weight ratio were made. The samples obtained were sun dried, characterized and their cooking performances tested. 1000 grams of fresh matooke peels yielded 226 grams of flour and 91.5 grams of char, charcoal briquette samples made yielded between 72 grams to 1358 grams. Matooke peel starch binder increased briquette samples physical strength with lowest drop test weight loss of 5.1% and showed improved moisture penetration resistance with longest water dissolving time of 12.71 seconds. Test sample briquettes also shown the highest Higher Heating Values of 20.9MJ/kg. Test samples showed fixed carbon (31.69 to 38.31%), moisture content (7.18 to 7.69%) and volatile matter (32.29 to 35.73%) and ash content (21.3 to 27%), thermal efficiency (33 to 41%), burning rate (5.23 to 6.92 grams/min), specific fuel consumption rate (41.9 to 51.83 grams/litre) and indoor emission rates of carbon monoxide CO (4.15 to 5.76 grams/min), particulate matter PM 2.5 (66 to 114.1 grams/min). The study in general found that fresh matooke peels yield for binder is higher compared to the yield for char. The matooke peel char and binder produced charcoal briquettes of good physical strength, high energy content, similar thermal cooking performance to common charcoal briquettes but with drawbacks of high-water solubility, high ash content, and high emissions rate. This study therefore concluded that due to the extremely high emissions above the WHO stipulated guidelines (CO 0.59 grams/min and PM2.5 0.8 grams/min) for indoor emission rates, the matooke peels charcoal briquettes produced in this study do not qualify as a good cooking fuel

Moses in the history of salvation
No full textMoses is undoubtedly one of the greatest biblical figures. His life and the role he played in the history of ancient Israel are exceptional. The paper is an attempt at a synthetic presentation of Moses' role in the history of salvation. In the first part the author analyzes the description of the birth of Moses and his mission, contained in the Pentateuch. The secondpart focuses on the analysis of the elements that make up the historical value of this figure, and the third part contains the analysis of the theological aspect of parallelism between Moses and Jesus
Moses in Jewish Bible
No full textU članku je riječ o povijesno-teološkoj analizi glavnih
tekstova o liku i ulozi Mojsija u židovskoj Bibliji. Autor u svojoj
analizi nastoji istodobno utvrditi povijesne činjenice koje su
vezane za ovu važnu osobu Staroga zavjeta i iznijeti na vidjelo
teološke motive koji su imali dubokog odražaja na oblikovanje
slike u Mojsiju i na njegovu ulogu u povijesti židovskoga naroda.
U tim tekstovima Mojsije izranja kao glavni posrednik i svjedok
sadržaja vjere i normi ponašanja za biblijske vjernike. Autor drži
da je ta slika o Mojsiju i njegovoj ulozi konačno oblikovana nakon
povratka iz Babilonskoga sužanjstva (5. stoljeće prije Krista, za
vrijeme Ezre i Nehemije), i otada je postala sastavni dio židovske
Biblije.The article deals with a historical-theological analysis of
the main texts about the character and role of Moses in the
Jewish Bible. In the analysis the author is trying to identify
the historical facts related to this important Old Testament
person and to bring to light the theological motives which deeply
influenced the formation of the image of Moses and his role in
the history of Jewish people. In these texts Moses emerges as
the main mediator and witness of the content of faith and norms
of behaviour for the biblical believers. The author holds that
the picture of Moses and his role was finally formed after the
Babylonian captivity (5th century BC, at the time of Ezra and
Nehemiah), and since then it has become an integral part of the
Jewish Bible
Gegen den Strich lesen : Moses bei Schiller, Goethe und Reckendorf
No full textThis paper introduces two literary representations of Moses, the lawgiver from the Old Testament. These two portrayals (Schiller, Goethe) are a part of the Moses-discourse that stretches over centuries. Here they are compared to the popular scientific Moses-study "Das Leben Mosis" (1868) written by Hermann Reckendorf, the author from Jihlava
