"Have you really read Job? Read him, read him again and again" : Kierkegaard, Vischer, and Barth on the book of Job
No full textThis thesis explores the reception history of the book of Job, particularly in Søren
Kierkegaard’s Three Upbuilding Discourses and Repetition, Wilhelm Vischer’s “Hiob, ein
Zeuge Jesu Christi,” and Karl Barth’s Church Dogmatics. It examines the hermeneutical
presuppositions of these three scholars and how the scholars themselves fit into the history
of interpretation, showing that they use a post-critical allegorical interpretation in order to
explore the freedom of God and humanity.
Chapter one offers a defense of using reception history in biblical studies. By
walking through Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories on great time and the chronotope, it argues that
great texts continue to live and grow even after their completion and canonization. During
this “afterlife,” their meaning expands as more readers participate in their interpretations.
Chapter two examines the afterlife of the book of Job in the hands of Christian exegetes,
focusing on allegory and freedom in the interpretations by Gregory the Great, Thomas
Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Immanuel Kant. Chapter three looks at the
unusual and rich interpretations of Job by Kierkegaard—the autonymous upbuilding
discourse on Job’s response to his suffering in the prologue and the novella Repetition as an
interpretation of the dialogue between Job and his friends. Chapter four examines the
interpretation of the book of Job in Vischer’s mini-commentary. Vischer sees the character
of Job as one whose devotion to God goes beyond the laws that God purveys and the
doctrine that seeks to explain God. Referring specifically to the works of Kierkegaard and
Vischer, Karl Barth’s work on Job—the focus of chapter five—sees the book of Job as
illustrative of Jesus Christ’s relationship to God and humanity. All three scholars
incorporated allegory while ruminating on the freedom of God in the book of Job. The final
chapter evaluates their interpretations while addressing their similarities and differences

Soul Recreation: Spiritual Marriage and Ravishment in the Contemplative-Mystical Piety of Isaac Ambrose
This thesis examines the theology and piety of Isaac Ambrose (1604-1664), a moderate Lancashire Puritan minister. More specifically it raises the question about the nature of his spiritual practices and whether they reflect what Bernard McGinn calls the “mystical element” of Christianity? This research is distinctive since Ambrose has never been the primary focus of research. There are six chapters to this thesis.
Chapter 1 examines the definition of three key terms: “mysticism”, “Puritanism”, and “Puritan mysticism” and then substitutes “contemplative-mystical piety” for McGinn’s mystical element since this language is more familiar to the Reformed community. A review of the literature reveals the prevalence of contemplative-mystical piety within mainstream Puritanism. Chapter 2 explores the biblical and theological foundations of union with Christ, which the Puritans often called spiritual marriage. Contrary to common perception, the Puritans encouraged intimacy and sexual enjoyment in their godly marriage that they often perceived as a reciprocal relationship with their spiritual marriage. The third chapter creates a contemplative biography of Ambrose through his diary entries and examines his relationship with God and his neighbor through his annual retreats, the struggles of his soul, serving as a physician of the soul, times of public fasting and worship, and the significance of specific places or environment to his piety. Chapter 4 narrows the focus to Ambrose’s teaching on meditation and contemplation. The influence of Bernard of Clairvaux is clearly evident as Ambrose contemplatively looks at Jesus throughout all the manifestations of Jesus’ life. The fifth chapter considers Ambrose’s use of ravishment and examines the nature, dynamics and benefits of this ambiguous term of delight and enjoyment. The final chapter moves from the seventeenth-century to the present and inquires whether Ambrose’s contemplative-mystical piety can guide contemporary Reformed Christians. That requires an examination into the resistance of Karl Barth as well as the more receptive possibility of retrieval through Herman Bavinck. This work concludes with seven principles from Ambrose to encourage those who are members of the Reformed tradition

ADAPTIVE IE: Investigating the Complementarity of Human-AI Collaboration to Adaptively Extract Information on-the-fly
No full textProceedings of the 31st International Conference on Computational Linguistics, January 2025, Abu Dhabi, UAEInformation extraction (IE) needs vary over time, where a flexible information extraction (IE) system can be useful. Despite this, existing IE systems are either fully supervised, requiring expensive human annotations, or fully unsupervised, extracting information that often do not cater to user`s needs. To address these issues, we formally introduce the task of “IE on-the-fly”, and address the problem using our proposed Adaptive IE framework that uses human-in-the-loop refinement to adapt to changing user questions. Through human experiments on three diverse datasets, we demonstrate that Adaptive IE is a domain-agnostic, responsive, efficient framework for helping users access useful information while quickly reorganizing information in response to evolving information needs.We sincerely thank the anonymous reviewers and the UMD CLIP members—Wichayaporn Wongkamjan, Zongxia Li, Nishant Balepur, Trista Cao, and Calvin Bao—for their valuable feedback and constructive comments on the draft. We also extend our gratitude to Shramay Palta and Yoo Yeon Sung for their support in shaping the interface and assisting with the pilot studies.

Geostatistical modelling of health inequalities associated with exposure to road-transport emissions
No full textRoad-transport accounts for a substantial proportion of the air quality objective pollutants experienced within the post-industrial cityscape. Traditionally, investigations have quantified the temporal health effects of such pollutants, yet the confined nature of European intraurban
environments often determine spatial variations in traffic pollutant levels, which tend to be associated with a plethora of social disparities. Recently, elements of spatial heterogeneity have attracted the attention of governmental advisory committees, whom acknowledge a
limited understanding of spatially inclusive practices in-spite of their potentially valuable applications (COMEAP 2006). Through considering spatial variations in children’s respiratory health, across the model British multicultural City of Leicester (Vidal-Hall 2003), this project
aimed to address the inadequacies of temporal models in capturing Pearce et al’s (2010) wider ‘triple jeopardy’.
The projects findings indicated significant global relationships to exist between children’s hospitalisations, social-economic-status, ethnic minorities, and PM10 road-transport emissions within Leicester. ‘Local Indicators of Spatial Association’ and ‘Geographically Weighted Regression’ identified important localised variations within the dataset, specifically relating to a ‘double-burden’ of residentially experienced road-transport emissions and deprivation effecting inner-city children’s respiratory health. Further examination of the spatial
field’s, revealed critical distance-responses to exist between respiratory health fronts and select socio-environmental phenomenon, thus recognising the importance of exposure gradients found in the every-day environment.
It was suggested that exposure to detrimental socio-environmental factors initiated upper respiratory episodes, with prolonged contact impeding recovery leaving the child
vulnerable to infection, exacerbating previous complaints and potentially causing conditions of greater severity. These findings provide a preliminary link between extreme cases of ‘Catarrhal Child Syndrome’ and socio-environmental influences, a conclusion previously eluding medical
practitioners. Interestingly, affluent intra-urban communities tended to contribute the highest levels of emission from private transport, whilst residentially experiencing few environmental burdens. Thus, indicating that environmental injustices prevail across the model British multicultural city of Leicester. To readdress such environmental imbalances, the project suggested and explored a selection of general and community tailored transport schemes. In conclusion, geostatistical approaches are viewed to be an effective set of tools for health and
urban planners, in the management of localised issues, which have previously been ‘filtered’ out by temporal practices

The Way of Transformation (The Laban-Malmgren System of Dramatic Character Analysis)
No full textThe dissertation is a 'critical edition' of a system of actor training based on three main sources: a vocabulary of movement analysis developed by Rudolf Laban in the last years of his life; C. G. Jung's theory of psychological functions and types; and the acting system of C. Stanislavski and his main followers. The three strands were brought together by the dancer and acting teacher Yat Malmgren (1916-2002), who taught his system for over forty years to some of the major figures of world theatre and film: Peter Brook, Pierce Brosnan, Simon Callow, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Adrian Noble among others.
The dissertation is presented in two volumes:
- Volume I sets the system in context, historically as well as in terms of current discourses about the nature of acting. It includes a survey of its origins, followed by an in-depth examination of its three main sources, focusing on the central concept of energy in acting. Further chapters describe:
a. a systematic, step-by-step psychophysical approach to analysing character, the actor's own self and to ways of bridging the two in the process of transformation. The author captures the salient features of a method of work which informs aspects of Western acting practice.
b. the light thrown by the system on the idea of theatre character. The author puts forward the idea of a character 'independent' of both actor and text.
c. the applications of the system in training and professional practice, based on interviews with a number of prominent British actors and directors.
- Volume II consists of a detailed, annotated description of the system. It is based on a free transcript of recordings of Yat Malmgren's teaching and amounts to a 'manual' for those interested in studying and/or teaching the system. The volume is illustrated throughout.
Appendices include original materials derived from Laban's last years of work, published here for the first time
Scripture and Its Readers: Readings of Israel’s Story in Nehemiah 9:6 – 37, Ezekiel 20:5 – 31 and Acts 7:2 – 60
No full textHow may a reader who wishes to read the Christian Bible as scripture well today be formed; and how may interpretations of scripture inform such concern? The present work is an exploration of this under-considered question in the field of contemporary biblical scholarship via sustained exegetical engagement with three biblical texts, namely Nehemiah 9:6 – 37, Ezekiel 20:5 – 32 and Acts 7:2 – 60, which offer three different inner-canonical readings of scripture in the form of three distinctive recitals of Israel’s story. The purpose is to consider how these retellings read scriptural traditions in relation to the wider context of the Christian canon; and to reflect on their enduring and formative significance as scripture for readers seeking to appropriate the scripture faithfully today.
Chapter one will indicate that the concern of the present work is not a recent one, but rather one that is integral to a Christian practice of reading scripture. This chapter will also consider how such a concern once under-explored in biblical scholarship is now receiving some renewed attention in the field of theological interpretation of scripture. An overview of selected works pertaining to such concern will be considered in chapter two as a means to set a context for articulating the approach and rationale of the present work. In chapters three through to five, each chapter will be devoted to each of the three biblical texts, Nehemiah 9:6 – 37, Ezekiel 20:5 – 31 and Acts 7:2 – 60, to consider how scriptural traditions are interpreted in these three texts in relation to the wider context of the Christian canon. The next step is to reflect on the implications of these three biblical texts as Christian scripture for readers seeking to interpret scripture faithfully today. For such concern, the three texts will be considered individually at the end of chapters three, four and five respectively and then in concert in chapter six
