A Plan For Developing An Effective Community Outreach Strategy For Churches In The Northeast, Roscoe Lilly Liberty University

A Plan For Developing An Effective Community Outreach Strategy For Churches In The Northeast, Roscoe Lilly

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Community outreach is an essential part of a church's mission to be "salt and light" to those around them. Community outreach creates the crucial platform for a church's evangelistic efforts. While many churches want to reach out to their community, few have a clear understanding of how or where to begin. The purpose of this project is to help churches in the Northeast better understand how to increase their community's receptivity to the gospel through a strategic community outreach plan. The project will use NorthStar Church as a case study. It is the aim of this project ...

Alber's Restoration Of The Temple Of King Solomon, Abilene Christian University

Alber's Restoration Of The Temple Of King Solomon

Pedagogy of the Archive

John G. Alber created the temple model in the 1930's to use as a teaching tool in the church and other organizations. His emphasis was to demonstrate the typological significance of Solomon's Temple for the church. The model was donated to the Helsabeck Archives of the Stone-Campbell Movement by Dr. Raymond L. Alber, John's son. Ray Alber was the Provost starting in 1967 and later the first Director of Development for Emmanuel School of Religion.

Bible Doctrines

Bible Doctrines are divided up into nine major categories for connivence. This will be a resource tool for the Bible teacher who can project an image directly from his computer in PowerPoint. A few related topics to the main doctrine are occasionally added for more clarity. The perspective of the author is a firm conviction in the authority and infallibility of God's written Word as the basis for all doctrines.

Monotheism, Polytheism, Monolatry, Or Henotheism? Toward An Assessment Of Divine Plurality In The Hebrew Bible, Michael Heiser Liberty University

Monotheism, Polytheism, Monolatry, Or Henotheism? Toward An Assessment Of Divine Plurality In The Hebrew Bible, Michael Heiser

Faculty Publications and Presentations

Israel’s view of God and his relationship to other divine beings in the Hebrew Bible has long been the subject of scholarly debate. The dominant critical consensus since the late nineteenth century holds that Israel’s faith evolved from polytheism or henotheism to monotheism. Passages in the Hebrew Bible that assume the existence of other gods are compared to other passages that put forth the declaration that “there are no other gods besides” the God of Israel as proof of this view. Other scholars who reject this evolutionary paradigm tend to assume passages evincing divine plurality actually speak of ...

Teacher Training Manual For The Christian Education Program Of Bethesda Church, Rick Allen Wolgamott Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary

Teacher Training Manual For The Christian Education Program Of Bethesda Church, Rick Allen Wolgamott

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Current teacher training in local churches often consists of asking a teacher to read pre-developed curriculum and follow the publishers’ instructions. Teachers are not being taught to critically evaluate the materials, and as a result they simply follow the directions provided. The purpose of this project is to train teachers in the local church in basic theology, hermeneutics, and preparing a Bible lesson. As a result, teachers will be trained to study Scripture and evaluate lessons based on Scriptural truth, and to prepare their own lesson plans. Recruiting and retaining teachers will become more effective as a result of providing ...

Abraham And Eliezer: The Name And Role Of Poor Lazarus In Luke 16:19-31, Keith L. Yoder 2018 University of Massachusetts

Abraham And Eliezer: The Name And Role Of Poor Lazarus In Luke 16:19-31, Keith L. Yoder

Keith L. Yoder

This is a rough draft of my paper to be presented at the March 2018 Annual Meeting of the Eastern Great Lakes Biblical Society in Akron, Ohio. I will examine here two questions about Luke’s parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. First, what is the origin of the beggar’s name “Lazarus”, and second, what precisely is his role, or literary function, in the storyline?  

I present here evidence from the Septuagint version of Genesis to support the proposal that Luke’s Lazarus is indeed Abraham’s Eliezer, “sent back from the dead”, to give the Rich Man ...
