This document presents an analysis of the etymology of the word "crisis" from several linguistic perspectives. It explores potential origins in Sanskrit, Greek, Chinese and explores related words like "crucible" and their etymologies. Key findings include that the Greek words for "crisis" and "crucible" derive from different roots and thus their relationship is unclear. It also finds that the Chinese characters for "crisis" do not literally mean "danger and opportunity" as commonly stated. The document considers various references and perspectives without reaching definitive conclusions, advocating for further historical linguistic research to fully clarify the relationships between terms.
This document defines and explains literary criticism. It begins by exploring the origins and definitions of "critic" and "criticism" from Greek roots. A critic is defined as someone who expresses a reasoned opinion on a subject's value, truth, or technique. Criticism is the analysis and judgment of a literary work. The document then defines literary criticism as the study, discussion, evaluation, and interpretation of literature through various lenses or paradigms. It provides examples of different schools of literary criticism and explains them on a map with four variables: the work itself, the author, other texts, and the audience. The goal of literary criticism is to understand what is important about a text and its influences.
The document discusses three historical models of the atonement: Christus Victor, Penal Satisfaction, and Moral Influence. It examines the Christus Victor model through the writings of Irenaeus and Gregory of Nyssa. Irenaeus saw Christ's victory over evil in the context of him recapitulating human history as the second Adam. Gregory of Nyssa viewed the victory as involving a ransom paid to Satan. The document then discusses Anselm of Canterbury's development of the Penal Satisfaction model in the 11th century based on medieval feudal concepts of honor and punishment.
This document provides an overview of apocalypticism as a genre of prophetic literature that originated in the early centuries after Jesus. It discusses key definitions and characteristics including that apocalyptic works reveal a hidden divine plan through supernatural beings, describe coming catastrophes and the end of the world, and present a narrative of future events leading to a perfect eternal world for believers. While initially written during times of persecution, apocalypticism also provides an optimistic framework for understanding times of crisis and a vision of future change and salvation.

Scapegoat theory, based on Rene Girard's ideas of mimetic desire and scapegoating, proposes that: 1) humans imitate each other's desires, which can lead to rivalry and violence; 2) societies defuse violence by unanimously directing it towards a scapegoat, who becomes the "other"; 3) examples can be seen in biblical texts like Deuteronomy that rationalize violence against enemies; 4) Osama bin Laden used similar rhetoric to justify violence against the West. An alternative view is that the crucifixion of Christ highlights humanity's capacity for violence rather than requiring an innocent sacrifice.

The document discusses different views of Jesus that were presented to a youth group. It notes that people see Jesus in different ways, such as a peaceful hippie, a warrior coming for judgment, or simply a way to avoid hell. The group is then asked to discuss which Jesus they grew up with and which version is prominent in their communities. The document explores how Jesus questioned his disciples about his identity, and how Peter recognized him as the Messiah, in contrast to views of Caesar as divine. It emphasizes finding the Jesus of the New Testament Gospels.
The document provides an outline and overview of the book of Revelation and apocalyptic literature. It discusses key characteristics of apocalyptic writing including symbolic imagery, numbers, and colors. The document examines different approaches to interpreting Revelation, including preterist, historicist, futurist, and idealist views. It argues the book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John around AD 95 during the persecution under Emperor Domitian on the Greek island of Patmos.
This is a study of Jesus as a mighty savior. He is mighty to save because He has paid the price for out sins and is thus victorious over all evil forces. He is thus, mighty to save.
The document discusses the great enigma of existence, including the origin of the universe, life, and humanity. It notes that while science has proposed many theories, they have often been disproven, leaving the fundamental questions unanswered. The theories typically involve spontaneous generation or self-organization of matter, but prominent scientists now acknowledge that nature reveals signs of purpose and intelligent design that cannot be explained by chance or blind laws alone. Direct creation by a supernatural Creator, as described in the Bible, remains the most rational solution to the great mystery.
This document analyzes biblical passages about Noah's flood and the coming of the Son of Man to determine what it means for some to be "taken" and others to be "left." It finds that the Greek words used have different meanings. Those "taken" are favorably received by Christ, while those "left" are abandoned and without forgiveness of sins. The author argues against views, like the Left Behind series, that interpret being "left" as having a second chance for salvation.
This document summarizes and analyzes myths of origin from polytheistic and Judeo-Christian traditions. It discusses cosmogonies (origins of the cosmos) from Hindu, Egyptian, Phoenician, Greek, and Zoroastrian myths which describe a transition from chaos to order. It also examines Genesis which presents creation ex nihilo by God's divine word rather than from preexisting chaos. The author argues that while myths seek to explain mysterious origins, Judeo-Christian tradition presents a unique conception of time and creation by a singular, transcendent God.
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a paper discussing how society has shifted from Newtonian absolutes and belief in God to Darwinian relativity. The abstract notes that scientists like Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin have influenced society through their ideas. Newton believed in absolutes and God, while Darwin's work on evolution reflected relativity and absence of divine design. Many contemporary issues stem from this scientific shift. The introduction discusses how constellations have provided guidance for centuries through universal laws, and draws a parallel between the fading constellations and society's fading reliance on divine authority in favor of individual interpretations.
This document summarizes Norman Geisler's chapter on "The Nature of Salvation". It discusses the various aspects and stages of salvation according to Geisler, including pre-salvation acts of God like election, prevenient grace, and effectual grace. It also describes the key concepts in salvation like regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. Justification declares the sinner righteous, while sanctification refers to salvation from sin's power in a process that is either instantaneous or involves a second definite act of grace.
We are studying the Trinity and Salvation. As we do so I am taking us through a number of words like atonement, propitiation and justification. Today we specifically studied the word redemption and what this means to us a Christians.
Three key conclusions can be drawn from the text:
1) The prisoners at the Puerto Montt prison rioted because they were no longer allowed to watch violent television programs after 7pm. Prison authorities believed that exposure to media violence negatively impacted prisoners' mental state and increased violent behavior.
2) Humans are influenced by external stimuli. If the stimuli are positive, human behavior will be positive, but if stimuli are negative or violent, it can lead to negative or violent behavior. Experts say "garbage in, garbage out" - what we allow into our minds shapes our thoughts and actions.
3) Exposure to media and societal violence in current times has created a culture that enables all kinds of
This column approaches trauma from three perspectives-child and family psychiatry, trauma-informed care, and social psychiatry and philosophy. The tragedy of King Lear is briefly introduced as the framework for understanding tragedy and trauma. In closing, I argue for a nuanced approach to trauma that is selective but responsive to the ruptures that create trauma and tragedy in our lives.

The Story of Salvation: A Narrative Theology of Hell—Robin ParryGospel Conversations
In this third talk of our Hope and Hell conference, Robin paints a sweeping picture of the story of salvation beginning with creation and ending with the eschaton. He then poses the significant question—which fits best into this picture—hell or universal salvation? This talk is quite awe-inspiring—not because it advocates universal salvation (which it does) but even more because it stretches our horizons beyond individual redemption into the purpose of the cosmos. In developing his theme, Robin draws heavily on the magnificent Patristic fathers and their grand conception of the irresistible goodness of God.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. “Tragedy or drama?”,
by Leonardo Boff
Brazil and the whole world find themselves immersed in a
deep crisis. It's not just structural but relational, since it
destroys our sense of living together. It could be a tragedy,
which could have a devastating ending, like in Greek theatre,
or a drama with a happy conclusion, as in the Christian
liturgy. Whether it is one or the other depends on us and our
ability to decide. But there is a growing awareness that we
are approaching the moment when we must decide, or else
the crisis will no longer be able to be drama but will change
into a collective tragedy.(...)
5. Sanskrit...
Crisis represents purification and an opportunity for
growth. We don't have to resort to the Chinese word
"crisis" to know its meaning. It's enough to remember the
Sanskrit — the womb of our language. In Sanskrit, "crisis"
comes from kir or kri, which means to purify and clean. From
kri comes "crucible", a chemical element with which we
cleanse cheap gold, and to refine means to purify.
Therefore crisis is a critical process — the purification of
the essence. Only what is real and substantial remains.
What is transient and added on disappears. Another order
is built from the essence.
6. Greek...
But no process of purification can occur without
cuts and breaks. That is why a decision is
needed. The decision produces a break with the
past and inaugurates the new. At this point the
Greek meaning of "crisis" can help us. Krisis,
"crisis" in Greek, means the decision made by a
judge or a doctor. The judge weighs and
evaluates the pros and cons and the doctor
considers the combination of various symptoms
and then they each decide the type of sentence
or ailment. This decision making process is called
"crisis". (…)
7. Brazil...
Brazil postpones its crises because its
leaders, even under the PT, lack the historic
boldness to make the decisions that place a
roadblock in the path of evil. They always
make concessions under the guise of
governability, thus preserving the privileges of
the elite. (...)

8. Collection of Synchronic Data
(1) “Crisis is a change that happens in difficult conditions”
(4) “Crisis for me is the fight between reason and my will”
(5) “For me, crisis is the lack of harmony of our being with the
environment inside which we live or the conflict between both parts and
then it involves professional, sentimental, spiritual and familiar issues”
(6) "Crisis is a situation in which something stable risks ceasing to
exist as it is. So, crisis is the instability that represents a risk to
something.”
(7) “An incident that requires attention.”
9. (8) “It is something that has run away from what had been planned, then it
brings about a crisis. It may be something that doesn’t want to come to
consensus with another thing, then a crisis takes place between two persons.
Crisis may also be something existential, for example: I bought something for
some amount of money, I invested my money, and my expectations weren’t
fulfilled, that generates a crisis for the investor. That may be financial, physical,
sentimental or anything that escapes from what is being planned.”
(9) “ When anything is normal. Everything changed for the worse.”
(10) “It means problem”
(11) “Crisis is the peak of the problem.”
(12) “Crisis is a situation of a problem without an immediate or apparent

11. Concepts:
Napoleão ‘crise’ (pt)
“Hypocrisy: (...) the words comes from the
Greek ‘hypocrínomai’ that means “to interpret”.
Its cognates are the vernacular words ‘crisis’,
which etymologically means change, separation,
and critic, the art of ascertaining the truth.”
12. Etymology – ‘crise’ (pt)
“Crise, s. Do gr. Krisis <<acto ou faculdade de
distinguir; acto de escolher, escolha, eleição, ato de
separar, dissentimento, contestação; (...) acto de
decidir; decisão, julgamento (de uma questão, de uma
dúvida); (...) o que resolve qualquer coisa, solução,
decisão, resultado (de guerra); fase decisiva de doença,
crise; explicação, interpretação de sonho>>, pelo lat.
Crisis, usado sobretudo em sentido médico; houve
certamente intervenção do fr. Crise. Em 1813,
Morais”. (Machado, 1987)
Houaiss: crisis (lat)“momento de mudança súbita, crise
MED”. krísis (gr) “faculdade de distinguir, decisão,
momento difícil”.
13. Etymology – ‘crisis’ (eng)
•
“Early 15th century, from Latinized form of Greek
krisis "turning point in a disease" (used as such by
Hippocrates and Galen), literally "judgment, result of a
trial, selection," from krinein "to separate, decide,
judge," from PIE root *krei- "to sieve, discriminate,
distinguish" (cf. Greek krinesthai (...)). Transferred
non-medical sense is 1620s in English. (...)”
•
[Middle English, from Latin, judgment, from Greek
krisis, from krinein, to separate, judge; see krei- in Indo-
European roots.]
14. ‘Crucible’
Crucible (n.)
1. A vessel made of a refractory substance such as graphite or
porcelain, used for melting and calcining materials at high
temperatures.
2. A severe test, as of patience or belief; a trial. (...)
3. A place, time, or situation characterized by the confluence of
powerful intellectual, social, economic, or political forces:
"Macroeconomics . . . was cast in the crucible of the
Depression" (Peter Passell).
[Middle English crucible, from Medieval Latin crucibulum, night-
light, crucible, possibly from Old French croisuel, cresset; (...)]
15. Etymology – ‘crucible’ (eng)
“Crucible (n.): Early 15th century, from Medieval Latin
crucibulum "melting pot for metals," originally "night lamp."
First element might be Middle High German kruse "earthen
pot." Or perhaps it is from Latin crux on some fancied
resemblance to a cross. Used of any severe test or trial
since 1640s.”
16. ‘Crisol’ (pt)
“crisol s.m. (1563) 1 recipiente utilizado para experiências químicas em que se
têm de misturar ou fundir substâncias, metais; cadinho. 2 p.metf. lugar ou
circunstância apropriada a evidenciar as melhores qualidades de algo ou
alguém. 3 p.metf. lugar ou circunstância apropriada a apurar os sentimentos.
(...) ETIM. Esp. ‘crisol’ ‘recipiente para fundir metais a temperatura elevada’”
(Houaiss, 2009)
Bueno: “espanhol, ‘crisol’; francês, ‘creuset’; italiano, ‘crogiólo’; provençal,
‘cruzol’ (...) Battisti e Alessio acham que vem do lat. chrysosylum (vas), do gr.
Khrysoylos de matéria de ouro (khrysos ouro; hylè, matéria). Foi no início um
vaso que servia para iluminação de igrejas”.
khrysos, (khrysos) “ouro”.
17. Acrisolar (to refine)
“acrisolar v. (1645-1647) 1 METAL t.d. tirar as impurezas
de (metal precioso), purificar no crisol; copilar. 2 t.d. e
pron./p.ext. dar ou adquirir qualidades superiores ou
excelentes, aperfeiçoar(-se), apurar(-se) <acrisolar a teoria
por meio da prática> <seu estilo de redigir acrisolou-se> 3

dores, sofrimento. <os deuses acrisolam o homem>
<acrisolava-se com resignação, devido a sua crença
religiosa> ETIM a- + crisol + -ar” (Houaiss, 2009)
18. It is possible to verify that the Greek etymons for the
words crisis (eng) and crisol (port)/crucible (eng) are not
the same, which prevents us from contemplating a
potential relationship, based on the Greek etymons,
between these words.
“krísiv, ewv (h) 1 ação de separar, de distinguir; triagem 2
ação de escolher; escolha; seleção 3 ação de julgar, de
decidir; julgamento; decisão (...) 4 aptidão para decidir;
discernimento 5 Jur. julgamento; processo (...) 8 solução;
êxito; desenlace; resultado (...) 9 disputa; luta;
contestação 10 Medic. crise; fase crítica de uma doença
(...)” (Malhadas, Dezotti e Neves, 2008)
19. Partial considerations
‘crisol’ and ‘acrisolar’ (port): these words may
have originated from the Greek etymon Χρυσος
(gold), which transliterated becomes khrysos
(“Latin spelling: chrysus).They haven’t
originated from krísi.
Boff suggests the relationship between ‘crisis’
and ‘crucible/to refine’ (crisol/acrisolar) only
when he refers to a possible origin back in
Sanskrit.
20. Sanskrit
Meaning of the Sanskrit word Kri:
Cologne Digital Sanskrit Lexicon: “kR to purify (...)”.
This seems to be the entry that most closely matches the
word suggested by Boff.
Hypothesis: a possible influence of this Indo-Iranian
language on the Greek language at some moment in
diachrony. Another research possibility would be to look
for the origin of the etymon inside the Indo-European
itself.

22. Crisis = Danger + Opportunity
“(...) When written in Chinese, the word
"crisis" is composed of two characters - one
represents danger and one represents
opportunity. The danger signs are all
around us. (...)”
KENNEDY, John F. Remarks at the Convocation of the United Negro College Fund, Indianapolis,
Indiana: 12/04/1959,
24. Misconceptions
To consider the Chinese word for crisis as a single
grapheme, when in fact it is made up of two syllables: weiji
is made up of wei and ji, two different characters (wēijī)
To define ji as ‘opportunity’. Weiji really means ‘crisis’ and
wei conveys the notion of ‘danger’, but ji definitely doesn’t
mean ‘opportunity’. This character bears the notion of
“incipient moment; crucial point (at which something
begins to chang)”. So, “a weiji is indeed a genuine crisis, a
dangerous moment, a time when things start to go awry. A
weiji indicates a perilous situation when one should be
especially wary. It is not a juncture when one goes looking
for advantages and benefits”.
25. Jihuì = opportunity
ji, when inserted into multi syllabic words, may
acquire hundreds of secondary meanings, such as
“insightful (insight); ingenious” and “machine;
appliance”
‘opportunity’ in Mandarin is jihuì, in which huì
conveys the notion of ‘occasion’. Thus, ji can’t
mean opportunity singly. It is only when ji is
associated with huì, that it can create the meaning
of ‘opportunity’.
Ex: airplane doesn’t mean air+plane
26. Final Considerations
The etymological meaning of ‘crisis’ as a word derived
from the Greek carries the notion of change and this
notion seems to be underlying almost all the answers
collected by means of the inquiry of speakers.
The Greek etymon for ‘crisis’ is not the same for
‘crisol/acrisolar’ (crucible/to refine). The Greek word
from which ‘crisis’ derives is ‘Krisis’ and the word that
originated ‘crisol/acrisolar’ is ‘khrysos’, which means
'gold'. This finding weakens the rhetorical argument
according to which ‘crisis’ may have any connotation of
time for purification, for example.
27. The relationship between the Sanskrit ‘kri’
and the words ‘crisis’ and
‘crisol/acrisolar/crucible’, is not as clear as
Boff presents it. A research on the historical
development of Sanskrit could confirm (or
not) a potential influence of this Indo-Iranian
language on the Greek language at some
moment in history. Searching for the origin of
the etymon inside Indo-European itself could
also show a common etymon from which both
Greek and Sanskrit words have originated.
28. The statement that in Mandarin 'danger +
opportunity' is equal to ‘crisis’ (weiji) is not
fully true. The second character, ‘ji’,
depending on the context in which it is
inserted, may acquire multiple meanings, hence
the impossibility of inferring an original meaning
from the sum wei + ji.
Further research may define, for example, if
there is a family relationship between ‘Krisis’
(crisis) and ‘kri’ and between ‘khrysos’ (gold)
and ‘kri’.
