    None greater than John : towards a social-description and narrative-theological study of John the Baptist in Luke-Acts.

    Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2007."I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John" (Luke 7:28). Thus the author of Luke-Acts expresses his basic assessment of John the Baptist. The present study aims to understand the role of John the Baptist as he is portrayed in Luke-Acts through a reading that combines social description and narrative-theological analysis in order to gain hermeneutical access to the subject of our investigation. This study seeks to achieve this aim in two ways. In the first instance there is an attempt (through recourse to a combination of the stated critical methodologies) to provide a reading of Luke-Acts that interfaces social description and narrative-theological analysis in order to make possible a rhetorical engagement with the text in a way that provides hermeneutical access to John the Baptist as he is portrayed in Luke-Acts. In his portrayal of John the Baptist as a prophet and witness who plays a unique role in the history of salvation, the author of Luke-Acts weaves a spell over his readers that draws them into his narrative world and into his particular theological perspective. In the second instance, this study also aims to show how Luke-Acts preserves a unique dynamic of John the Baptist which has rather been buried in the other Gospel traditions. Through this dynamic, Luke seeks to transmit his own ideal of the authentic prophet and witness in such a way that his audience may be moved to emulate John's example with conviction and imagination both in living out their Christian ideal as well as in proclaiming the good news

    Review of: C. Cellucci, Is mathematics problem solving or theorem proving?, Found. Sci. 22 (2017), no. 1, 183—199

    No full text
    The author contrasts two philosophical conceptions of mathematics: problem solving versus theorem proving. The former is related to the analytic method and the latter to the axiomatic method. He traces the distinction back to Greek philosophy and highlights the critical role of Hilbert in the controversy. He argues that the analytic method should be preferred in view of Gödel's incompleteness theorems and because it accords better with the work methods of mathematicians. He finally suggests that the appeal of the axiomatic method lies in the fact that justification and well-organised presentation are valuable from a didactic perspective

    Language and theology : a case study of the metaphor of breathing in John 20:22.

    No full text
    Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2011.Since the blossoming of the linguistic theories in the Johannine scholarship, interest in the figurative language of John‘s Gospel has increased. In this study on John 20:22, the statement ―Jesus breathed on them‖, that is, on his disciples, is addressed as a metaphor evoking the theme of creation. It is argued that this metaphor is essential in the understanding of the ideo-theological framework of the author of the Fourth Gospel. It plays a key function in the network of Johannine metaphors

    Vertex-Disjoint Large Cycles

    In this dissertation, we discuss cycles of length at least six. We prove that (Theorem 1) if GG is a graph of order n6k+1n\geq 6k+1 and the minimum degree of GG is at least 7k2\displaystyle\frac{7k}{2}, then GG contains kk disjoint cycles of length at least six, and (Theorem 2) if GG is a graph of order n6k+6n\geq 6k+6 and the minimum degree of GG is at least n2\displaystyle\frac{n}{2}, then GG contains kk disjoint cycles covering all the vertices of GG such that k1k-1 are 6-cycles.doctoral, Ph.D., Mathematics -- University of Idaho - College of Graduate Studies, 2020-0
