Topic: Divinity (academic discipline)

	Divinity
		Divinity and divine (sometimes 'the Divinity' or 'the Divine'), are broadly applied but loosely defined terms, used variously within different faiths and belief systems — and even by different individuals within a given faith — to refer to some transcendent or transcendental power, or its attributes or manifestations in the world.
		The doctrine of the divine right of kings was introduced as late as the 17th century, proposing that kings rule by divine decree; Japanese Emperors ruled by divine mandate until the inception of the Japanese constitution after WWII; to this day Catholics consider the Pope to be the literal voice of God on earth.
		Such divinity, in these faiths, would express itself naturally if it were not obscured by the social and physical worlds we live in; it needs to be brought to the fore through appropriate spiritual practices.

	Paper: Organization of Knowledge: The Emergence of Academic Specialty in America
		Yet some academics are coming to rediscover the truth of Armstrong's statement, and the academy is beginning to reassess the appropriate boundaries for disciplinary thinking, teaching, and institutional organization.
		That era is characterized tangibly by the new universities and graduate schools with their academic departments, the rise of discipline-based academic societies, growing academic publication in the disciplines, and increasing reward structures that define professional life in terms of disciplinary contribution.
		In this case "discipline" is used in the sense of "The orderly conduct and action which result from training; a trained condition," or "The order maintained and observed among pupils, or other persons under control or command, such as soldiers, sailors, the inmates of a religious house, a prison, etc." (OED, 4:734-735).

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Geography
		By the 18th century, geography had become recognized as a discrete discipline and became part of a typical university curriculum in Europe (especially Paris and Berlin), although not the in the United Kingdom where geography was generally taught as a sub-discipline of other subjects.
		In the West during the 20th century, the discipline of geography went through four major phases: environmental determinism, regional geography, the quantitative revolution, and critical geography.
		But many geographers feel that it harmed the discipline in the long run: Too much effort was spent on data collection and classification, and too little on analysis and explanation.

	The Mentor: An Academic Advising Journal
		In a recent article, I advocated an “academically centered” paradigm of advising as an alternative to the dominant developmental theory.
		In part, the logic of every student’s curriculum is determined by, and implicit in, the academic requirements he or she is subject to, both general education requirements that may be institution-wide and those of a specific major.
		The student should be encouraged to treat each choice the same way the student designing his or her major does, by looking at courses and groups of courses against the context of a developing logic, and the adviser can ask key questions that will help the student think through the rationale of each possible choice.

	FT May 2000: The Very Idea of Religion
		The study of religion as an academic discipline is now close to a century and a half old.
		These difficulties are apparent, too, in the academic study of religion, and they go far toward an explanation of why the discipline has no coherent or widely shared understanding of its central topic.
		Such understandings of religion are, however, anathema to practitioners of the academic discipline of the study of religion.

	Review of Academic Politics ...
		The convergence of academic politics and Criminal Justice education was driven home to me in the fall of 1996, when for the first time in my young career I felt the impact of the former regarding the significance of the latter.
		The debate over which one is “better” or more in line with the direction of the Criminal Justice discipline is left for other forums, rather it is important to note, as Morn does, that this dichotomy was relevant from the beginning and has helped to shape and mold the discipline we now serve.
		It was in this counter-political action that the discipline of Criminal Justice would begin to germinate and combined with a number of forces, mostly external, the true academic discipline of Criminal Justice would begin to grow.

	Early Shinto
		Kami first of all refers to the gods of heaven, earth, and the underworld, of whom the most important are creator gods—all Shinto cults, even the earliest, seem to have had an extremely developed creation mythology.
		But kami also are all those things that have divinity in them to some degree: the ghosts of ancestors, living human beings, particular regions or villages, animals, plants, landscape—in fact, most of creation, anything that might be considered wondrous, magnificent, or affecting human life.
		As an example of the potential for divinity: there is a story of an emperor who, while travelling in a rainstorm encountered a cat on a porch that waved a greeting to him.

	Do We Need Biblical Scholars - By Philip Davies
		This was the challenge from a fellow academic, an intellectual (albeit churchgoing).
		And this gap is curious because many Christian (and Jewish) leaders receive academic training and acquire formal qualifications involving academic study of the Bible¾ whether in university theology departments or denominational seminaries (which are usually affiliated to, or even part of, a university).
		My university colleagues in other disciplines are listened to as experts: what they say is taken to be a reliable opinion on the subject (whether that perception is true or not).

	HDS - AFA - MDiv Program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Students in the MDiv program learn to work at the intersections of the academic study of religion and the practices of religious communities, the past and the present, classroom study and field study, the convictions and practices of their own religious tradition and the convictions and practices of traditions other than their own.
		By working together at these intersections, we seek to educate future ministers and religious leaders who are able to engage, in an intellectually critical way, the traditions within which they will serve, the structured injustices of society, and the multireligious context within which they will practice their ministries.
		In order to cultivate these capacities, the Faculty of Divinity has shaped a curriculum that gives all students a common grounding in the study of ministry, Christianity, and religion as well the freedom to shape their program towards their deepest vocational aspirations.

		The discipline of Christology discusses who Jesus was or was not from a philosophical and theological perspective.
		The questions of the divinity of Jesus was discussed and voted on by Ecumenical Councils, starting with Constantine I's attempts at producing unity, enforcement of the resulting decision thus suggesting an air of politicisation to the supposedly religious issue.
		It is not the case that all scholars reject Jesus' divinity, yet some may choose to describe the social and cultural implications of claiming divinity in the 1st century.

	ORB -- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Furthermore, by virtue of its participation in the divine, the symbol is also referred to as a theophany or divine manifestation which involves every created thing.
		The final stream of Dionysian influence is the abandonment of all interpretive concepts through their "unknowing." The last stage of anagogic ascent moves beyond the interpretive positive/negative dialectic by a negation of all that has been negated.
		This statement communicates the basic Dionysian idea that symbols "demonstrate" the divine, acting as "bridges between the experience of the senses and that which lies or reaches beyond" (Ladner 241).
