Fruit Of Faith, Fruit Of The Spirit, Thomas G. Plante
Fruit Of Faith, Fruit Of The Spirit, Thomas G. Plante
Psychology
As contemporary behavioral scientists living and working within an often secular, scientific, and empirically focused world as well as being affiliated with rigorous academic institutions and research programs, we wonder if the fruits of the spirit have any empirical and scientific basis. Does engagement with religion and spirituality make us better people or make us worse?
Christianity, John C. Hawley
Christianity, John C. Hawley
English
According to tradition and to the early church historian Eusebius, Christianity was preached in Ethiopia by the apostle Matthew before it reached Europe; Mark the evangelist is said to have established the church in Alexandria in 43 C.E. What is clear is that some of the most important early Christian theologians were from northern Africa: Augustine, from present-day Algeria, and Clement and Origen, from present-day Egypt. The monastic movement in the early church drew its inspiration from these writers. By the 4th century, Christianity was well established in what are today Ethiopia and Eritrea, and was centered in a city …

Six Ways To Keep The "Good" In Your Boy: Guiding Your Son From His Tweens To His Teens, Dannah (Barker) Gresh
Six Ways To Keep The "Good" In Your Boy: Guiding Your Son From His Tweens To His Teens, Dannah (Barker) Gresh
Alumni Book Gallery
When bestselling author Dannah Gresh was body-slammed by her 12-year-old son, she was hit with reality: raising a boy is a whole new ballgame! A boy's relationship with his mom during the formative age between 8 and 12 is vital to his future well-being. So how can moms teach sons to be honest, confident, and respectful when the world and situations encourage them to make bad decisions and grow up too fast? Dannah's practical experience and research, along with advice from her husband, Bob Gresh, provide a mom with six proactive ways to help her son: honor his body in …
Simplicity, Sustainability, And A Greening Of The Catholic Intellectual Tradition, Cara E. Erdheim
Simplicity, Sustainability, And A Greening Of The Catholic Intellectual Tradition, Cara E. Erdheim
Presidential Seminar on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition
This essay is in part academic and in part anecdotal, although, from my perspective, the two need not be mutually exclusive. A unique Service Learning experience last May has crystallized my personal reflections on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, as well as clarified my literary scholarship in the field of American environmental writing.
Framing Racism Post Vatican Ii: Critical Race Theory And The Catholic Intellectual Tradition, Amanda Moras
Framing Racism Post Vatican Ii: Critical Race Theory And The Catholic Intellectual Tradition, Amanda Moras
Presidential Seminar on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition
Over the past century, the Catholic Church as an institutional entity has had a complex, and often contentious, relationship to racial politics. Given its history in colonialism, role in domestic slavery and the widely publicized complicity during the Holocaust, racism is something that has deep seated roots within the Church hierarchy.
That said, over the past fifty years, the Catholic Church, both internationally and in the U.S., has begun to confront racism as a moral issue.
Al-Shabaab's American Recruits: A Comparative Analysis Of Two Radicalization Pathways, Matthew Wade Richardson
Al-Shabaab's American Recruits: A Comparative Analysis Of Two Radicalization Pathways, Matthew Wade Richardson
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
From 2005 to 2011, at least 41 Americans joined, or attempted to join, al-Shabaab, Somalia's preeminent terrorist organization. This thesis examines the radicalization process for al-Shabaab's American recruits by dividing the sample into two groups: non-Somali and Somali. The author employs causal flow diagramming as a means of visualizing each group's unique radicalization pathway. While most of the non-Somali recruits were motivated by political grievances and Salafism, most of the Somali recruits were motivated by identity conflict and nationalism. Considering al-Shabaab is both a religious and an ethno-nationalist terrorist organization, these results make sense. Radicalization within diaspora communities is a …

Connecting The Spiritual And Emotional Intelligences: Confirming An Intelligence Criterion And Assessing The Role Of Empathy, David B. King, Constance A. Mara, Teresa L. Decicco
Connecting The Spiritual And Emotional Intelligences: Confirming An Intelligence Criterion And Assessing The Role Of Empathy, David B. King, Constance A. Mara, Teresa L. Decicco
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
A viable model and self-report measure of spiritual intelligence were previously proposed
and supported by King and DeCicco (2009). Despite such advances, evidence is needed
demonstrating significant associations with other intelligences. The current study sought to
test this criterion in relation to emotional intelligence. Among a sample of 420 Canadian
adults, results demonstrated significant associations between spiritual intelligence and two
self-report measures of emotional intelligence. Due to the suggestion by some theorists
that empathy be included in a model of spiritual intelligence, associations with empathy
were also investigated. Results bode well for the inclusion of a spiritual ability set in …
Psychoactive Substances And Paranormal Phenomena: A Comprehensive Review, David Luke
Psychoactive Substances And Paranormal Phenomena: A Comprehensive Review, David Luke
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This paper investigates the relationship between psychoactive substances and so-called paranormal
phenomena falling within the study of parapsychology. It is primarily concerned with extrasensory
perception (ESP)—telepathy, precognition, and clairvoyance—as well as out-of-body experiences
(OBEs) and near-death experiences (NDEs). Psychokinesis (PK), aura vision, encounter experiences,
and sleep paralysis only make a very limited contribution to this review as they are seldom related
to psychoactive drugs within the parapsychological literature. The paper borrows widely, but by no
means exhaustively, from parapsychology as well as transpersonal studies, anthropology, ethnobotany,
phytochemistry, psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and neurobiology, particularly
neurochemistry. It is organized into neurochemical models …

And what does the Lord require of me? To love mercy, do justice, and walk humbly with God. -Micah 6:8
This quote from the Hebrew Bible has been one of my favorite quotes from sacred scripture in the Judea-Christian tradition for a very long time. It well summarizes how we should live. It well articulates how to live a good life. In this brief and simple statement in response to what God wants of us, it makes clear that there are three things that we should do throughout our lives if we want to follow the dictates of the God …
Toward A Holistic Interdisciplinary Model Of Human Being: A Hebraic-Christian Perspective Of The Human Observer And Its Beneficial Impact On The Theology-And-Science Dialogue, Society, And The Environment, Karen K. Abrahamson
Dissertations
Problem
A challenge faced by the theology-and-science dialogue is how to effectively communicate across disciplinary lines. The community assumes that there is a methodology or cluster of methodologies that allows for interdisciplinary conversation to take place. However, the community is not in agreement about how this process should occur or the hermeneutical principles that should guide it. Is it possible to surmount the problem of methodological compatibility and to generate mutually beneficial and fruitful dialogue through seeking a point of commonality between all the disciplines of the theology-and-science dialogue?
Purpose
The purpose of this dissertation is to discover a philosophical …
One State Or Two In Israel/Palestine: The Stress On Gender And Citizenship, Gordon Babst, Nicole M. Tellier
One State Or Two In Israel/Palestine: The Stress On Gender And Citizenship, Gordon Babst, Nicole M. Tellier
Political Science Faculty Articles and Research
As is the case with any of the three great Abrahamic religions, there is considerable ambiguity regarding the status and role of women both within doctrinal interpretations, and between religious and other cultural traditions in the community. These ambiguities are reflected in political practice and condition women's aspirations regarding what is possible for them to achieve. Nowhere is it more true that understandings of religious imperatives permeate politics and work to make other lines of division all the more intractable than in Israel/Palestine. The proclivity to violence between the two peoples not only victimizes women, but foreshortens attention to their …

A Search For Home: Navigating Change In Battlestar Galactica, Kimberly S. Yost
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
This dissertation explores the various ways in which the multiple leaders portrayed in the science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica (2003-2009) navigate extreme conditions of continual change. In addition, the dissertation contains a discussion of the larger narrative themes of love, forgiveness, redemption, and embracing the Other as principles effective leaders must cultivate. Through an interpretation of this specific popular media text, a deeper emotional sensitivity to and understanding of leadership, positive and negative, during extreme crises is gained. Furthermore, the series serves as a vehicle through which viewers can reflect on and engage in their own self-awareness about issues …

Critical Thinking In Applied Psychology: Toward An Edifying View Of Critial Thinking In Applied Psychology, Aaron Jackson, Steve Yanchar, Kristin L. Hansen, Jamie Hansen
Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy
A gospel-centered approach to critical thinking that can facilitate psychotherapeutic work and be edifying to faithful counselors and clients would be very beneficial. This article examines what a defensible approach to gospel-centered critical thinking about psychotherapy would look like, how it would differ from secular scholarly disciplines and practices, and whether it should differ at all. Because all critical thinking strategies are framed by a theoretical background of assumptions and values and because not all assumptions and values are true or useful, approaches to critical thinking must be carefully examined by those who would employ them. Latter-day Saint counselors and …
The Scale For Existential Thinking, Blake A. Allan, Branton Shearer
The Scale For Existential Thinking, Blake A. Allan, Branton Shearer
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This study introduced the construct of existential thinking, which we defined as the tendency
to explore the fundamental concerns of human existence and the capacity to engage in a
meaning-making process that locates oneself in respect to these issues. We also assessed
the psychometric properties of the 11-item “Scale for Existential Thinking” (SET). In two
studies, we found the SET to have unidimensional factor structure and good reliability
diagnostics in both student and adult samples. Moreover, the SET showed construct validity
by correlating with meaning in life, curiosity, and other existential variables. Furthermore,
we found meaning in life to mediate …

Transpersonal Psychology, Parapsychology, And Neurobiology: Clarifying Their Relations, Douglas A. Macdonald, Harris L. Friedman
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Neurobiological advances have resulted in growing interest in many psychological phenomena
heretofore resistant to scientific scrutiny, including within transpersonal psychology and
parapsychology. These advances perhaps can resolve longstanding tensions between these
two psychological subdisciplines, which have generally been treated as disparate. To
implement such a rapprochement requires more than just additional empirical findings,
as theoretical development is also needed. Consequently, we identify some important
theoretical problems, such as conventional assumptions about scientific naturalism and
materialism that potentially undermine substantive advances in further understanding
such phenomena through neurobiology. We also discuss links between parapsychology and
transpersonal psychology that can be forged …
The Effect Of Spiritualism On The Cognitive Functions On Learning And Memory, Carla Antonieta Farcello
The Effect Of Spiritualism On The Cognitive Functions On Learning And Memory, Carla Antonieta Farcello
McNair Poster Presentations
Last summer I conducted a pilot study which researched whether better working memory would be documented among an experimental group (individuals who report being spiritual) as compared to the control group (individuals who report being non-spiritual).Total scores showed a significantly higher sense of spiritualism among the spiritual participants vs. the non spiritual participants (p < .001) along with a significant improvement in working memory for spiritual participants vs. non spiritual participants (p = .027). The results of this study documented significantly better performance on a task measuring emotional learning and memory among individuals who reported being spiritual as opposed to individuals who reported being non-spiritual. These findings build on prior studies suggesting the effect of positive emotions on broadening cognitive processes (Strauss & Allen, 2003).
My current study is building on what my prior findings have suggested and studies the effect of spiritualism on the cognitive functions of learning and memory. In addition to the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES) used in the pilot study, I am including the Spirituality Index …

Religion And Spirituality In Nevada, Ariane G. Mitchum, Michael Ian Borer
Social Health of Nevada Reports
Across the world, religion is integral to society insofar it shapes people’s thoughts, behaviors, and interactions. What exactly the term “religion” means, however, is far from clear-cut, as it continues to be a highly charged topic of discussion and debate, a subject that many hold dear and near to their hearts.
Russian Spirituality And The Theology Of Negation, Mikhail Epstein
Russian Spirituality And The Theology Of Negation, Mikhail Epstein
Russian Culture
Toward the end of the twentieth century Russian culture found itself at a crossroads which cannot be ascribed to any political election but which rather presupposed a radical change in its religious and social orientation. Two somewhat opposing theses will be developed in this article. First I will discuss the processes of secularization in Russian culture and the necessity of a third, neutral zone between the "sacred" and the "profane." Next, the dangers of social neutralization in culture and the necessity of retaining elements of the dual model along with the introduction of intermediate elements will be presented. We will …
