Keeping The Heart: Contemporizing The Parables Of Jesus, Hannah Tullos
Keeping The Heart: Contemporizing The Parables Of Jesus, Hannah Tullos
Honors Theses
One of the main teaching techniques of Jesus was his usage of stories, also known as parables. Although the power of his words never fades, the impact of the details of his stories inevitably gets lost when the stories are read in a different cultural context. This thesis provides a method that brings Jesus’s parables into a modern context. In being able to completely transform parables into a modern context, the message of the parables can reach wider audiences on a more personal level. The goal is to revive the heart of storytelling within the parables of Jesus and communicate …
How To Become A Butterfly, Jillian Parsons
How To Become A Butterfly, Jillian Parsons
Honors Theses
Few could naturally imagine how a lowly caterpillar can become a majestic butterfly. And yet, God uses the very parts that make up the humble insect to form and grow it into unequaled beauty.

As you linger in these pages, try to imagine how God workshopped the butterfly and decided the transformation should come …

This thesis uses cultural concepts to explain how Christianity and Japanese culture might find themselves at odds, but also explains how Christianity could work in unison with Japanese culture in order to benefit Japanese society as a whole, defending its argument using Biblical concepts intertwined with Japanese values.
Short-Term Missions: Helping Or Hurting?, Hannah Rossell
Short-Term Missions: Helping Or Hurting?, Hannah Rossell
Honors Theses
Every year, thousands of short-term mission teams are sent out all over the world. It is estimated that more than four million Americans take an overseas short-term mission trip every year. Most of these participants are youth and young adults. The American church is estimated to spend as much, or more, on short-term mission trips as they do on sending and sustaining long-term missionaries. The question is, with all these participants and resources being sent out, are short-term mission trips helping or hurting the long-term goal of missions? Short-term missions can be helpful if they are plugging in and supporting …
