The First Battle for Scottish Independence: The Battle of Dunnichen, A.D. 685.

This study is an examination of the historiography of the ancient-medieval texts that record events related to the Northumbrian and the Pictish royal houses in the seventh century. The Picts, the Scots and the Celtic Britons fell into subjugation under the control of the expansionist Northumbrian kings and remained there for most of the seventh century. Northumbrian expansion was halted by Bridei, king of the picts, when he put down the advancing Northumbrian forces of king Ecgfrith at the Battle of Dunnichen, also known as Nechtansmere, in the year A.D. 685. The outcome of the battle not only stopped Northumbrian expansion to the north, but began its reversal. The battle also allowed the Picts to gain back the lands they had lost to their Northumbrian enemy. For the Northumbrians, the battle had political and ecclesiastical implications that may have contributed to the later decline of their kingdom

The use of the covenant liturgy in Hosea

Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Boston University, 1968 Includes bibliographical references. Typescript.The purpose of this dissertation is to relate the forms of prophetic speech used by Hosea, especially those connected with the covenant renewal liturgy, to the E traditions, pre-Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy and the Deuteronomic history. In so doing the author attempts to examine the nature of the role of the covenant mediator, the nature of prophetic continuity, and the origins of traditions so important to Hosea. This investigation, following methods of textual criticism, linguistic analysis, form-criticism, tradition and literary criticism, involves the isolation within the Book of Hosea of the covenant liturgy containing elements of a formula of preparation for covenant renewal, including (1) a threat of punishment and (2) a call to repentance and covenant renewal based upon the nature of the covenant God, Yahweh.

‘Males and Females the Girl Consumes!’: Food, Desire and Unstable Gender Expression in Zinaid Meeran’s Saracen at the Gates

This article analyses the ways in which food discourse is employed to destabilise essentialised notions of culture and gender in South African author Zinaid Meeran’s début novel, Saracen at the Gates (2009). The article explains how Meeran disrupts stratified conceptions of culture through his alimentary cartograph, and how food is used to disrupt religious identification. His depiction of the desiring queer body is interpreted as that which ruptures the limits of control and excess associated with appetite through analysing his representation of desire as simultaneously fluid, culturally specific and material. The article concludes that Meeran’s alimentary cartography allows for the creation of alternative constructions of identity that coalesce around the gustatory

The Colton Celebration Congregation: a Case Study in American Adventist Worship Renewal 1986-1991

This study investigates the experience of Celebration Center (Colton, California), its milieu, and its impact on the North American Seventh-day Adventist Church through what has been perceived as the celebration movement and controversy, while addressing underlying historical, sociological, and philosophical/theological question. The principal findings of the study reveal that Celebration Center has uniquely attempted to explore a more multilayered approach to church life and worship within White Anglo Adventism. The celebration experience has ventured into breaking up some old Adventist expectations through its congregational trend; its emphasis on love, acceptance, and forgiveness; its different church organization and more holistic worship; and its accent on the divine presence, the Holy Spirit, and the spiritual gifts of all believers. Intrying to explore in the late 1980s a new experiential liturgical language, CelebrationCenter seems to have uniquely embodied change and become, at times, the irrational scapegoat of people\u27s fear/anger and sense of loss brought by societal and religious modifications. Anticelebrationists have generally been perceptive in their recognition of deeper changes at stake in the celebration experience but have been mistaken in attributing them to a conspiracy within or outside of Adventism. The implemented changes by the celebration movement are reflective of powerful trends shaping AmericanChristianity and Adventism, such as revivalistic, third wave, and baby boomer religious innovations and the convergence between the liturgical and pentecostal/charismatic movements. Celebration worship grows out of a particular worldview not completely in harmony with the theological and philosophical assumptions of the years of denominational consolidation and stabilization (1920-1950) that are predominant among antagonists. The celebration movement and thereactions against it can be both understood as grassroots attempts to bring renewal within White Anglo North American Adventism. The principal implications which arise from thefindings are: (1) A timely need for Adventism to recount its own history, apply to worship its holistic approach to reality, and investigate new models of hermeneutics, ecclesiology, sacramental liturgy, and church structure. (2) The common convictions of pro and anticelebrationists could inform Adventism of possible directions for thefuture and offer grounds of reconciliation

The Archaeology of the Medieval Hospitals of England and Wales, 1066-1546

This thesis provides the first comprehensive synthesis of the archaeology of the medieval hospitals of England and Wales in two decades, bringing together a broad array of academic publication and grey literature reports. Since Gilchrist’s (1995) summary of the archaeological evidence, there has been an increasing examination of these institutions from a historical perspective, investigating the constitutional origins of these sites, their place within the spiritual economy, the nature of medical practice carried out, founders and patronage, and regional variations and dedications. However, the utilisation of the archaeological remains has seen relatively little advancement, despite a surge in developer-funded excavation that has seen the numbers of sites investigated increase. By drawing upon these resources, as well as other published excavations, this research has tested and devised a new conceptual framework for how the hospital was set out architecturally. It proposes that there was a hierarchy of space, with the high-status chapel located to the southeast, with the religious brethren located to the north, and the infirmary to the west, northwest, or north. Where women were part of the residence, especially as staff, there were quartered to the northwest, often in the furthest place from the altar. The kitchen and staff areas buffered the religious eastern half of the site from the more secular western side. The layout held variability visually but was organised around zones of activity for the different groups that lived at the hospital, and mirrored the standard Augustinian monastic layout, modified with a northern, rather than a traditional southern, focus. The thesis also examined the material culture and evidence of diet and environment, integrating these finds into the wider hospital layout through the appreciation for the manner in which the medieval hospital functioned as a non-natural environment
