A Fork In The Wesleyan Road: Phoebe Palmer And The Appropriation Of Christian Perfection, Kevin Twain Lowery
Faculty Scholarship – Theology
Phoebe Palmer has long been a source of inspiration as well as a center of controversy within the Wesleyan/Holiness Movement.

"The Greatest Golf Crusade Ever:" Sir Walter, Exhibitionism, And Pebble Beach, Stephen Lowe
Faculty Scholarship – History
Walter Hagen’s 1922 exhibition tour with Australian star, Joe Kirkwood, was unprecedented in duration, distance, and profits.

Reinhold Niebuhr And Non-Resistance, Kevin Twain Lowery
Faculty Scholarship – Theology
This paper offers a critique of Reinhold Niebuhr's views on non-resistance. In considering what the Christian response should be to receiving an injustice, Niebuhr constructs a paradox between the Christian ethical ideal (i.e., pacifism) and pragmatic considerations (i.e., the use of force). The limits of Niebuhr's paradox will be considered, and a more practical ideal will be offered, one that suggests a more tenable yet faithful Christian ethic of response to injustice or injury.

Is Intending Causally Related To Foreseeing?, Kevin Twain Lowery
Faculty Scholarship - Philosophy
Consequentialists often attempt to erase any distinction that might be made between fully intending something and merely foreseeing it as a side effect. This paper argues that intent must extend to foresight when it exists. In this way, although foresight does not determine intent, it does shape it. Furthermore, the intersection of intent and foresight give rise to two other moral problems, namely: 1) the dilemma of intending harm as the means to a beneficial end and 2) the laudability/culpability an agent may have for side effects (both intended and unintended) that are produced by the agent’s action.
