Download date: 03. Jun. 2023 Henotheism in Orphic Sources Origins, Development and Reception Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics at King’s College London Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Abstract The aim of this research is to examine the theme of divine uniqueness and unity within the polytheistic structures of the Ancient Greek world, focusing on what is referred to as 'Orphism', exploring the relevant sources and examining its development from the Classical period through Hellenistic Judaism and into the Christian era. In this project I have looked at different sources linked to Orphism which present a divine figure that emerges from the plurality of a polytheistic structure and appears to acquire the status of a 'one' god (separate and complete). To do so, I have also analysed the Christian reception of these sources, since many Christian authors quote them with different points of view and levels of appreciation. Key works include pseudo-Justin's De monarchia and Cohortatio ad Graecos, Xxxxxxx'x Protrepticus and Stromateis, Xxxxxxxx' Praeparatio Evangelica and the Theosophia Tubingensis. By investigating these sources, including variously dated fragments such as the Orphic Hymn to Xxxx and Xxxx. Hymn. 15, 19, 20, I have traced the development of this topic in successive historical periods and environments, an example of which is to be found in the poem known as Hieros Logos composed in Alexandria in Egypt within Hellenistic Judaism around the II century BCE, which imitates an Orphic Hieros Logos. This thesis contributes a new approach to the theme of Greek henotheism and to the study of the divine figure in Orphism, drawing attention to the historical, literary and cultural relevance of the sources, making use of a comparative approach. Thanks to the contribution of the Cognitive Studies of religion this project will primarily demonstrate that it is possible to find henotheistic tendencies in Orphic sources and how these texts are intertwined with other philosophic...

Peacemakers and Partisans Xxxxxxx and Political Reform in England 1213-1268 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx PhD thesis King’s College London 2012 This thesis examines the role of bishops in political reform and rebellion in England, beginning with the return from exile in 1213 of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (archbishop of Canterbury 1207-26) and ending with the suspension in 1266 of five bishops for their involvement with the Montfortian revolution. Xxxxxxx and his successor Xxxxxx xx Xxxxxxxx (archbishop of Canterbury 1233-40) created a model for episcopal involvement in the affairs of the realm, especially during times of discord between king and barons. Prioritising the peace of the kingdom, they maintained their loyalty to the king as well as his subjects so that they were empowered and incentivised to act as peacemakers. This obligation was developed by Xxxxxxx’x biblical understanding of the clerical duty to ensure good government. When illegal or destructive royal policies caused baronial discontent that threatened civil peace, the bishops could step in to reform the king’s behaviour. Although they threatened ecclesiastical censure, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx never attacked the foundations of royal power. In contrast, the Montfortian bishops renounced their loyalty to the king. As partisan Montfortians, they were no longer qualified to act as peacemakers. Members of a regime that appropriated the bases of royal power and ruled in the king’s name, they advocated measures that their predecessors would have considered illicit and dangerous. The intellectual conflict created by this rupture is reflected in the actions and justificatory arguments of the Montfortian bishops, who had to construct their case from scratch in the crucible of political crisis. Their story provides an ideal-type for the study of political thought: exothermic ideology. Not the cause but the consequence of events on the ground, their arguments are not coherent as political theory but reveal the effect on the production of ideas exer...

Math. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Xxxxx Xxxxx 2nd Supervisors: Prof. Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxx Prof. Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx London, 2015 «Ει μη αληθες εστι, μη ειπης.» Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx abstract Based on Xxxxxxxxx’s work on gauged Lagrangian distributions, we will intro- duce the notion of a gauged poly-log-homogeneous distribution as an approach to ζ-functions for a class of Fourier Integral Operators which includes cases of am- plitudes with asymptotic expansion ∑k∈N amk where each amk is log-homogeneous with degree of homogeneity mk but violating R(mk) → −∞. We will calculate the Xxxxxxx expansion for the ζ-function and give formulae for the coefficients in terms of the phase function and amplitude, as well as investigate generalizations to the Kontsevich-Vishik trace. Using stationary phase approximation, series representa- tions for the Laurent coefficients and values of ζ-functions will be stated explicitly, and the kernel singularity structure will be studied. This will yield algebras of Fourier Integral Operators which purely consist of Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx operators and whose ζ-functions are entire, as well as algebras in which the generalized Kontsevich- Vishik trace is form-equivalent to the pseudo-differential operator case. Addition- ally, we will introduce an approximation method (mollification) for ζ-functions of Fourier Integral Operators whose amplitudes are poly-log-homogeneous at zero by ζ-functions of Fourier Integral Operators with “regular” amplitudes. In part II, we will study Xxxxxxx-, Lebesgue-, and Xxxxxx integration in alge- bras of Fourier Integral Operators. The integration theory will extend the notion of parameter dependent Fourier Integral Operators and is compatible with the Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx...

Jun. 2023 WORDS, WIGS AND VEILS: MODEST RELIGIOUS DRESS AND GENDERED ONLINE IDENTITIES Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx Theology and Religious Studies King's College London, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies, September 2016 Abstract Words, Wigs and Veils: Modest Religious Dress and Gendered Online Identities In this thesis, I explore how Muslim and Jewish women in a predominantly North American cultural context use online public spaces to blog about their religious dress practices. Existing comparisons between online self-representation and religious dress among Muslim and Jewish women includes work by Xxxxx Xxxxx (2013) and Xxxx Xxxxx (2013 and 2016). My research builds on and expands their contributions, while depending on slightly different primary sources and theoretical frameworks. Consequently, I use Mol’s (2002) concept of ‘enactment’ to elaborate how Xxxxxxx’x (2005) and Avishai’s (2008) arguments for women’s religious practices within the confines of conservative religions to be understood as a form of ethical agency, might operate online. Additionally, in light of how different forms of authority are enacted in the primary sources, I interrogate Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx’x (2007) preliminary framework of multiple layers of religious authority online. Approaching the loose blogging networks of about 30 blogs per religion from a qualitative, humanities perspective, I consider the bloggers to have creative control over their writing: I study online writing about religious dress, not religious dress itself. Beyond using snapshots of blog posts written by individual bloggers, I consider how some of the bloggers’ perspectives have changed over time, and analyse interactions between bloggers and commenters in the ‘Comments’ sections of relevant posts. I argue that enactments of gendered religious identities online are often led by women, within frameworks that are simultaneously personal and which the bloggers themselves con...
