Christians often seek to justify particular practices by appealing to scripture to authenticate them. On the subject of worship the paucity of relevant material can lead to the misuse of what is available. In recent times 1 Corinthians 12 – 14 has been exploited to find grounds for practices which seem to distort Paul’s teaching. A brief account of some of these flaws is followed by an exegetical study which seeks to demonstrate how the structure and coherence of Paul’s argument requires particular verses to be understood, in ways which are not widely recognised. This suggests modifications of some practices when Christians gather together.

The 19Th Century

n the second half of the 19th century – especially in the period following the introduction of the Academic Constitution of 1869, and in the 1880s and continuing until the forced closure of Theological Academies after the Revolutionary coup – the historical and liturgical research area in Russian academic science experienced a period of its formation and flourishing. The subject of the article is a comparison of approaches to the study of the worship service history and analysis of the formation of the research methodology for teaching Liturgics by professors N.V. Pokrovsky and I.A. Karabinov of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, where they taught the history of Christian worship from the 1880’s until its forced closure in 1918. Analysis and juxtapos- ing of academic courses in Liturgics allows defining the boundaries and content of the discipline in the period of its formation as well as considering the evolu- tion in research methodology and, more broadly, the formation of the Russian historical and liturgical scientific school. A comparison of the courses reveals the authors attitudes towards histori- cal sources material and its studies. Their own ideas about the provenance of various rites used in church worship characterize their views on the develop- ment of the liturgical tradition, expressing their approaches to its study and thereby form our picture of the establishment of historical Liturgics as a field of researchable knowledge.

It may be of interest to the Society if I submit to its notice some observations made last year, which render it necessary to re-write the history of one of the best known monuments of Rome.The monument, which for fifty-six years has been called the Column of Phocas, was formerly, when nothing but the pillar itself was seen above ground, the subject of much curiosity and speculation among the visitors of the Forum. The “nameless column with the buried base” was thought by some to be the sole relic of a great temple or other public building. By others it had been conjectured to be part of the famous bridge by which Caligula united his palace on the Palatine with the temple of Capitoline Jupiter. In the early years of the century, among other works of the same kind, it was resolved to clear away the soil and débris from the substructure of this column; and on the 13th of March, 1813, the inscription of its pedestal, which had remained for centuries a few feet below the level of the ground, was uncovered, and revealed the fact that it had supported a statue dedicated by the exarch Smaragdus to the honour of a Caesar, whose name had been erased, but who, by other indications, could be no other than Phocas, an emperor of evil reputation, but to whom Rome and the world owe some gratitude for having been instrumental in dedicating the Pantheon to Christian worship, and so preserving from ruin one of the noblest and most original architectural works of antiquity.

The relation of Latin lyric poetry to the lyric poetry of the Romance peoples remains one of the interesting problems of medieval literature. It has already challenged the industry of generations of investigators with no definite result. And it may be doubted whether conclusions which are self-convincing will be reached in the immediate future. The chief hindrance to a satisfactory solution is presented, of course, by the incompleteness of relevant material. The examples of Latin lyrics which may be considered as expressive of natural emotion are few in number before the end of the eleventh century, and the poems of William IX are the first in Romance. There may be found here and there, to be sure, scattered hints of the existence of non-artistic poetry, whether in Latin or the vernacular, but the information so furnished by Latin writers is uncertain as well as meager. Widely different interpretations may be put on it. Contradictory theories find inconclusive support in it, further confusing an already perplexing problem. In view of all this doubt, and the difficulties with which the subject is still beset, it may not be unprofitable to go over the ground once more, and arrange the documents which allude to non-literary poetry, Latin or Romance, in their chronological order from the first century to the eleventh. While nothing new may be discovered from such a classification it will be useful to have at hand, grouped together, the texts from which the opposing factions draw their partisan arguments.

Marital Crisis

Christian divorce counseling requires a biblical perspective — an underlying knowledge of all that the Scriptures bring to bear on the subject. Basically, Jesus taught in answer to questions relating to the Mosaic Law, but He is not recorded as counseling a specific case of divorce (as in the instance of dealing with the woman taken in adultery). In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul responds to specific questions concerning specific cases. God's response to unfaithful Israel, His wife, is depicted in His directions to Hosea in view of Hosea's wife's infidelity. What really occurred is controverted. The thesis defended here is that God did not direct Hosea to divorce Gomer. Divorce is not the only or preferred solution to marital crisis involving infidelity. A counseling model is established, overlaid with the powerful reinforcement of God's own action.

One of the techniques employed by the Anglo-Saxon jeweller has hitherto been ignored, or at least passed over as being foreign, and the intention here is to bring it to more general notice. The relevant material is more plentiful than has been suspected, and a closer examination of objects already in museums or now being taken from the earth will aid investigations, and perhaps increase the value of the objects themselves as exhibits. Further studies in the subject may provide useful additions to the defective criteria perforce used in dating early Anglo-Saxon objects.

This work presents a novel didactic methodology for the approximation of the students to the subject of Mechanics of Materials, with the aim of improving the understanding of the inertia moment, and its relevance on the mechanical behaviour of structures. The students have grouped on groups of two to three persons. The work consisted in designing the most efficient beam having in mind several design constraints. Tensile tests were performed to determine the relevant material properties. Those were used for the analytic dimensioning of the beams. The aim of the work is to obtain the highest efficiency possible, since it results in the best mark, as possible. The efficiency was measured by the maximum load on experimental bending testing, divided by the mass of the beam. The results, as well as the interest of the methodology are discussed. It is proved that this methodology can be useful for the students to apply theoretical concepts and, at the same time, to give a deeper understanding of real experimental tests.

Durham University's Sudan Archive was founded in 1957 by former members of the Sudan Government under the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium, and by staff from Durham University, including the first director of the Oriental Museum, T.W. Thacker (Cory & Forbes 1983). Since the initial call for donations, the Sudan Archive has now collected 800 boxes of documents and photographs, mainly from former Sudan Government officials. This material now forms an integral part of Durham University Library's special collections (Sudan Archive Catalogue). The archive holds a wide variety of documents, from personal communications and photographs, to official reports mainly pertaining to political and social issues from early twentieth-century Sudan and neighbouring countries. It also includes a wealth of material relevant to the archaeology of both the Sudan and neighbouring countries (e.g. Egypt, Israel, Syria) (Figure 1), yet only a limited amount of the potentially relevant material has been used by archaeologists. The Sudan Archive remains a largely untapped resource for archaeological research. This situation is probably to be explained partly by the description of the archive as a historical and political collection; moreover, a search of the existing catalogue for the term ‘archaeology’ returns only four results, whereas about 700 documents are directly relevant to the subject. An additional problem is that the spellings of both archaeological sites and locations are inconsistent; for example, Meroë also appears asMeroe, MeroweandBakarwiyyeh. To remedy these issues and to make the material more accessible, a recent project has identified over 1000 individual references to archaeological sites or themes and catalogued them in a database (Figure 2).

Введение. Синтаксис селькупского языка долгое время оставался «белым пятном» на лингвистической карте самодийского языкознания. Фонология, морфология и лексический состав селькупских диалектов не раз становились предметом научных изысканий представителей различных научных лингвистических школ. Исследованию синтаксических особенностей селькупского языка посвящено гораздо меньше научных трудов, а большинство из этого небольшого количества базируются на материале северных диалектов, в то время как центральные и южные диалекты селькупского языка долгое время оставались вне поля зрения лингвистов. Данные факторы обусловливают актуальность предпринятого исследования. Материал и методы. Материалом исследования послужили 26 частушек на нарымском диалекте селькупского языка. Основными методами исследования выступили общенаучные (анализ, синтез, обобщение) и частнонаучные (лингвистические) методы: сравнительно-сопоставительный, описательный, метод анализа непосредственно составляющих. Результаты и обсуждение. Представлен краткий обзор исследований синтаксиса различных диалектов селькупского языка, осуществлен структурный анализ текстов частушек нарымских селькупов, проанализирован порядок слов, рассмотрен повтор как один из основных фольклорных приемов. По своей структуре 60,9 % проанализированных предложений представляют собой двусоставные предложения, 39,1 % – односоставные предложения. Самым частотным порядком слов в двусоставных предложениях является SVO (16,66 %), на втором месте SOV (7 %), на третьем OSV (4,7 %), единичны предложения с порядком слов OVS (2,38 %). Самыми частотными повторами, выявленными в ходе исследования, явились концентрирующие повторы. Заключение. Частушка как особый фольклорный жанр, заимствованный у русских, получила широкое распространение среди нарымских селькупов. Данный жанр предполагает наличие рифмы и накладывает отпечаток на структурную и синтаксическую организацию предложения. Повторы выполняют функцию структурной организации частушечного текста, выделяя наиболее значимые компоненты содержания, и в меньшей степени участвуют в его синтаксической организации.Introduction. The syntax of the Selkup language has long remained a “white spot” on the linguistic map of the Samoyed linguistics. Phonology, morphology and vocabulary of Selkup dialects have repeatedly been the subject of scientific researches by representatives of various scientific linguistic schools. Much fewer scientific works are devoted to research of the syntactic features of the Selkup language, and most of this small number are based on material from the Northern dialects, while the Central and Southern dialects of the Selkup language have long remained out of the view of linguists. These factors make the study relevant. Material and methods. The material of the study are 30 four-line racy folk rhymes in the Narym dialect of the Selkup language. The main methods of the research are popular scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and specific scientific (linguistic) methods: comparative, descriptive, method of immediate constituent analysis. Results and discussions. A brief overview of the syntax studies of different dialects of the Selkup language is presented, structural analysis of the texts of the four-line racy folk rhymes of the Narym Selkups is carried out, word order is analyzed, repetition as one of the main folklore techniques is considered. In terms of structure, 60.9 % of the sentences analyzed are two-part sentences, 39.1 % are one-part sentences. The most frequent word order in two-part sentences is SVO (16.66 %), in the second place is SOV (7 %), in the third - OSV (4.7 %); there are very few sentences with word order OVS (2.38 %). The most frequent repetitions revealed in the study are concentrating repetitions. Conclusion. A four-line racy folk rhyme as a special folklore genre borrowed from the Russians became widespread among the Narym Selkups. This genre is expected to have rhyme and influences the structural and syntactic organization of the sentence. Repetitions serve the function of structural organization of the text of a fourline racy folk rhyme, highlighting the most significant content components, and are less involved in its syntactic organization.

Dalam artikel ini akan disajikan potensi pemikiran Yohanes Calvin bagi ibadah Kristen masa kini maupun masa yang akan datang. Ibadah menurut Calvin sepertinya tidak menjanjikan untuk dikembangkan dalam konteks masa kini karena kesempitan wawasannya. Artikel ini berusaha untuk menyajikan perspektif sebaliknya. Artikel ini hendak membagikan kontribusi pemikiran Calvin yang dapat menjadi tuntunan dan koreksi bagi ibadah masa kini. Untuk itu, penulis akan menjabarkan prinsip-prinsip teologi reformatoris Calvin yang diaplikasikan dalam aspek ibadah, pandangan Calvin tentang dosa-dosa liturgis, dan gambaran-gambaran atau metafora-metafora yang digunakan Calvin untuk menjelaskan ibadah. Secara metodologis, artikel ini berusaha untuk menimba pemikiran Calvin tentang ibadah dan menerapkannya secara kontekstual, namun tidak memberikan pembahasan yang komprehensif dan historis dalam arti yang ketat. Pemikiran Calvin tentang ibadah bukan saja melampaui pokok bahasan seputar penggunaan alat musik dan Mazmur, melainkan juga memiliki potensi yang kaya untuk pengembangan ibadah Kristen masa kini This article presents the potential of John Calvin's thought on Christian worship for today and the future. Worship according to Calvin does not seem promising to be developed in the present context because of the narrowness of his insight. This article seeks to present a contrary perspective. This article would like to share the contribution of Calvin’s thought that can serve as a guide and correction for contemporary worship. For this reason, I will discuss the principles of Calvin’s theology, which are applied in aspects of worship, Calvin's view of the so-called liturgical sins, and metaphors used by Calvin to explain worship. Methodologically, this article seeks to draw from Calvin’s thoughts on worship and contextualize it but does not offer comprehensive and historical discussion in a strict sense. Calvin’s thought on worship not only goes beyond the subject of the use of musical instruments and psalms but also has rich potential for the development of Christian worship for today.

First- and second-generation Mar Thoma Americans had very different understandings about the meaning of being Christian. Religion and ethnicity also played different roles in their lives. Chapter 3 focuses particularly on the intergenerational cleavages that developed due to the divergent models of religion that the two generations espouse. The different models of religion meant that immigrants and their children had very different ideas about the role of the church, Christian worship, and evangelism, with the result that the two groups were often at odds both in the church and at home on the subject of religion. This chapter examines some of these differences and their implications for the Mar Thoma church.
