Rita Nakashima Brock, Rebecca Ann Parker, And Governmental Atonement Theology, Andrew John Blosser
Master's Theses
The writings of Rita Nakashima Brock and Rebecca Parker have perspicaciously highlighted challenges that atonement theology faces in its interface with the experiences of abused women and children. These thinkers have alerted the theological community to the fact that an atonement model which commends or valorizes the divinely-mandated suffering of an innocent victim (Jesus) can nefariously encourage domestic abuse victims to accept their own abuse, as if it were God’s will. Brock and Parker therefore recommend abandoning language which attaches any salvific significance to the Cross in atonement.
This thesis explores and recommends an alternative form of theological language—called “governmental …

Centralized For Protection: George I. Butler And His Philosophy Of One-Person Leadership, Kevin M. Burton
Master's Theses
Statement of the Problem
On November 17, 1873, the General Conference adopted George I. Butler’s leadership philosophy, which officially centralized ecclesiastical authority within one person. This statement on leadership and authority was deemed highly important and several resolutions, as well as a covenantal pledge, were voted and signed in promise that this new policy would be strictly followed.

Ellen G. White's Counsel To Leaders In Conflict, Michael Thomas White
Ellen G. White's Counsel To Leaders In Conflict, Michael Thomas White
Master's Theses
How should we relate to people in the church who adamantly disagree with us personally or with a commonly accepted position? How do we support what is admirable about controversial leaders while still disagreeing with the way they express some of their views? Deeper than just how we argue with people we disagree with, how do we deal with leaders who are simply disagreeable? Ellen G. White’s own life and works show several examples of how she responded to church leaders in conflict, showcasing principles that we can use today to argue without being argumentative.
