Thinking Biblically About The Qur’An: An Exploration Of Qur’Anic Self-Image, Worldview, Hermeneutics, And Christology, Larry L. Lichtenwalter
Thinking Biblically About The Qur’An: An Exploration Of Qur’Anic Self-Image, Worldview, Hermeneutics, And Christology, Larry L. Lichtenwalter
Journal of the Adventist Theological Society
There is no question that a knowledge and understanding of the Qur’an is a sine qua non (an indispensable condition) in relating meaningfully to Muslims whose worldviews, customs, daily rituals, speech and thought patterns have been indelibly shaped by the Qur’an and its ethos.1 Knowing Muslim scriptures and their culture hold out the prospect to better communicate the gospel. But how so? Does the Qur’an contain redemptive analogies that can be used as bridges to present biblical faith?2 Or would its direct and tacit subversion of the essential elements of the Gospel deny such and press one to better present …
The Faith Of Jethro: Polytheist Or Monotheist?, Daniel Royo
The Faith Of Jethro: Polytheist Or Monotheist?, Daniel Royo
Journal of the Adventist Theological Society
The character of Jethro, as he appears in the book of Exodus, is an enigmatic figure in the biblical narrative.1 As a descendent of Midian, his ancestry goes back to Abraham (Gen 25:1–2; Exod 2:16; 3:1). Among Abraham’s children outside the covenant line, there would have been an opportunity to know about his relationship to God and his faith in divine providence. Yet polytheism was practiced among the Midianites (Num 25:16–18). This history forms a backdrop from which to examine the person of Jethro. In the book of Exodus, Jethro appears in three distinct roles: a priest of Midian (Exod …
Safety And Efficacy Of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy In Menopause: A Literature Review, Kathryn Akre
Safety And Efficacy Of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy In Menopause: A Literature Review, Kathryn Akre
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Vasomotor symptoms (VMS) experienced during menopause can negatively impact a woman’s quality of life, productivity, sleep, and mood. Systemic hormone therapy (HT) is the most effective treatment for moderate to severe VMS, however safety concerns raised by the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) trial have led to a decrease in overall HT use and a growing demand for custom-compounded bioidentical HT. Misconceptions regarding the superior safety and efficacy of custom-compounded hormones and lack of clinician expertise in menopause management contribute to ongoing uncertainty and low uptake of United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved bioidentical HT products. This …

New Ecological Equilibrium: A Perspective For Our Long Conversion Journey, P. Wiryono Priyotamtama Sj
New Ecological Equilibrium: A Perspective For Our Long Conversion Journey, P. Wiryono Priyotamtama Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Through the encyclical letter Laudato Si’, Pope Francis launched integral ecology as a new paradigm to solve the global ecological crises. The most fundamental challenge identified was that the awareness of the fact that everything is connected should be chosen by those who are trusted to design pastoral leadership formation within the Church to implement the above new paradigm. In line with the spirit of Laudato Si’, awareness should be understood as the opening of mind, heart, and will that will enable the development of new convictions, attitudes, and forms of life toward creating a new equilibrium. In this paper, …
Preventive Measures Against The Sexual Abuse Of Minors And Vulnerable Adults In Pastoral Ministry Today, Nchumbonga George Lekelefac
Preventive Measures Against The Sexual Abuse Of Minors And Vulnerable Adults In Pastoral Ministry Today, Nchumbonga George Lekelefac
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The current context regarding the efficient protection of minors and the attentiveness to ensure their human and spiritual development, in line with the dignity of the human person, are indispensable parts of the Gospel message. The Church and all her members are called to it. The need for an awareness of preventive measures against the sexual abuse of minors and of the vulnerable in pastoral ministry is of absolute importance. This article seeks to raise such an awareness of this crucial topic among the clergy, religious, and lay faithful who are directly or indirectly involved in pastoral ministry in the …

Building Pastoral Capacity In The Post-Pandemic Era Alongside Of “Human Fraternity”, Greg Soetomo Sj
Building Pastoral Capacity In The Post-Pandemic Era Alongside Of “Human Fraternity”, Greg Soetomo Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
A great number of people have expressed their admiration for the document on “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” (HF). One of the comments that is commonly heard is, “We will use this document as a guide to build and strengthen good and vibrant interfaith and intercultural relations.” This desire for better relations is validated by a statement in the paper itself: “It is a document that invites all persons who have faith in God and faith in human fraternity to unite and work together so that it may serve as a guide for future generations to advance …

Signs Of Pandemic, Symbols Of Hope: A Sketch Of Pastoral Work In Liturgy, Antonius Firmansyah Sj
Signs Of Pandemic, Symbols Of Hope: A Sketch Of Pastoral Work In Liturgy, Antonius Firmansyah Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Bearing in mind that the faithful have already experienced the different impacts of COVID-19 in their daily life, pastoral workers need to find new ways of respecting the liturgical norms while also inviting and sustaining the spiritual motivation of the faithful to personally participate in liturgy. One possibility is through juxtaposing the signs of the pandemic encountered in our daily life with the symbols of liturgical celebration. To this end, pastoral workers need to facilitate an appropriate symbolic engagement process during liturgy.
Spiritual Life Of The Christian Immigrant And Non-Immigrant Family, Moses Mary Apreku
Spiritual Life Of The Christian Immigrant And Non-Immigrant Family, Moses Mary Apreku
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The Asia-Pacific Christian immigrants and non-immigrants have a huge impact on Western Christianity. Therefore, special pastoral care, faith, and spiritual formation should be given to immigrant families so that they can become efficient lay missionaries. Unfortunately, proper faith formation of the lay faithful is lacking in the Church, while by virtue of their baptism, they are also called to witness Christ in the world. The formation and training of Christians in the faith is essential so that as Christ’s disciples, they may become his efficient witnesses in the world. For this reason, Jesus took three years in training and forming …
Exploring Mission With Saint Paul Ten Pastoral-Theological Principles, James H. Kroeger Mm
Exploring Mission With Saint Paul Ten Pastoral-Theological Principles, James H. Kroeger Mm
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Saint Paul, apostle par excellence, tirelessly labored to spread the Gospel, particularly in the Gentile world. His missionary travels and encounter with diverse peoples, cultures, and religions form the matrix or context of his missionary methods. A comprehensive examination of Paul's writings yields much mission wisdom and insight shaped by his apostolic experience and dynamic faith. This presentation suggests ten “mission principles”—derived from Paul's direct mission experience coupled with his profound faith reflection and then “applied” to missionary engagement today.
Rebuilding From Covid-19: Pastoral Leadership Towards A New World, Christina Kheng
Rebuilding From Covid-19: Pastoral Leadership Towards A New World, Christina Kheng
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The COVID-19 pandemic calls for pastoral leadership that is spiritually-rooted, discerning, synodal, humble, and committed to rebuilding a better world. This article outlines a suggested process by which pastoral workers can reflect on the “pandemic year” together with their communities and exercise pastoral leadership in a collaborative way. In doing do, they might model a way of proceeding that brings new vitality to the Church’s life and mission in these challenging times.
Relationship Is At The Heart Of Dialogue: A Reflection On Engaging With Muslims In Delhi, Joseph Victor Edwin Sj
Relationship Is At The Heart Of Dialogue: A Reflection On Engaging With Muslims In Delhi, Joseph Victor Edwin Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
This essay proposes that 'relationship' is at the heart of Christian-Muslim Relations. I present two simple experiences that I had with a Muslim teacher and young Muslim students during my years of formation towards priesthood. Those experiences taught me the importance of taking roots among Muslims so that we can discover in one another a brother or a sister. An attitude nurtured by Nostra Aetate will flourish in an ambience of open ended conversation between Christians and Muslims that neither compromises one's faith convictions nor disregards the faith convictions of Muslim brothers and sisters.
Finding Christ In Photographs Of Suffering, Harry Setianto Sunaryo
Finding Christ In Photographs Of Suffering, Harry Setianto Sunaryo
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Photojournalists employ images in order to tell a news story, honestly and impartially while telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Theologians, specialists in theology, reflect on faith as a personal response to God's self-communication. This article is an innovative attempt to bring them together, photojournalism and theology. Indeed, both make use of verbal and non-verbal language as well as a person's imagination. The author shows that both shall not exclude an urgent social concern for the common good. Here the author presents his reflection from a context of a country, the Philippines, in the middle of drug-war with its …
To Change A Culture: Reflections On One Attempt To Help Theology Students Reconsider Assumptions, Christine E. Burke Ibvm
To Change A Culture: Reflections On One Attempt To Help Theology Students Reconsider Assumptions, Christine E. Burke Ibvm
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
In a time described by Pope Francis as “not an era of change but a change of era,” assisting students to examine assumptions which are embedded in their culture is critical. Manila has many institutions dedicated to theological and pastoral formation. In a post Vatican II church, where baptism is recognized as empowering all to use their gifts as 'priests, prophets and kings'(spiritual leadership, commitment to justice, and governance), how can we help students to participate in a church challenged by the equality of women and men? Feminist theology offers rich resources to enable students to recognize and support the …
Incarnating The Missionary-Pastoral Character Of The Churches In Asia, Peter Pojol Sj
Incarnating The Missionary-Pastoral Character Of The Churches In Asia, Peter Pojol Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The emergence and growth of pastoral institutes in Asia manifests the missionary-pastoral trajectories that were made the center of the focus of the Church by Vatican II, echoed by the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC), and reaffirmed and rejuvenated for our time by Pope Francis. The pastoral institutes of Network Pastoral Asia and Inter-Institutional Collaboration illustrate this impetus. They invite sustained reflection on and creative application of the Council's “principle of pastorality,” which carefully attends to context and faithfully expresses the “centrifugal missionary dimension” of evangelization.
Lamentation And Hope Of University Students During The Covid-19 Pandemic In The Light Of Psalm 73, Nikolas Kristiyanto
Lamentation And Hope Of University Students During The Covid-19 Pandemic In The Light Of Psalm 73, Nikolas Kristiyanto
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging our faith and theology. Its impact is evident in our daily activities. For this reason, this article asks, “How widespread is the impact of COVID-19 on university students’ activities?” Then it tries to analyze that impact by using the structure of Psalm 73: (1) the credo, (2) lamentation, and (3) hope. It then provides a simple pastoral strategy to accompany the university students during this difficult time. This strategy involves all lecturers at every faculty in the university to redesign the teaching materials that can help students to reflect and to deepen their experiences during …

A Look At Short-Term Mission Trips In The Context Of Cypress Baptist Church As A Sending Unit, John Daniel Bodine
A Look At Short-Term Mission Trips In The Context Of Cypress Baptist Church As A Sending Unit, John Daniel Bodine
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This thesis project is a study on short-term missions in the context of Cypress Baptist Church as a sending unit. The purpose of this project is to seek answers of why many of Cypress members are choosing not to engage globally by being part of the ministry of short-term missions at Cypress. Cypress Baptist Church is a rapidly growing church, and as it grows it should see more members participating in short-term missions. The goal is to ask the people of Cypress questions centered around this project so the project manager can get candid, real answers to why many are …
An Analysis And Comparison Of The Missional Doctrine Hermeneutics Of Kevin J. Vanhoozer And Veli-Matti KäRkkäInen, With Emphasis On Their Notions Of God, Eschatology, And Mission, Elmer Arrais Guzman
An Analysis And Comparison Of The Missional Doctrine Hermeneutics Of Kevin J. Vanhoozer And Veli-Matti KäRkkäInen, With Emphasis On Their Notions Of God, Eschatology, And Mission, Elmer Arrais Guzman
Dissertations
This dissertation analyzes Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen’s and Kevin J. Vanhoozer’s theological method, in order to understand its structural elements, and thereby to facilitate comprehension of their missional doctrinal hermeneutics, and the ramifications of those hermeneutics for the construction and development of Christian theology. Missional doctrinal hermeneutical models conceive the missional dimension of doctrine in various ways. Some privilege the maintenance of theological identity cohering with the foundational sources of theological authority. Others privilege theological constructions that assimilate the context and the missional situational framework of understanding. This dissertation strives to examine the diverging missional hermeneutics of Kärkkäinen and Vanhoozer, the foundational …

A Qualitative Exploration Of Ticket-Pricing Decisions In Intercollegiate Athletics, Craig A. Morehead, Stephen L. Shapiro, Lamar Reams, Chad Mcevoy, Timothy M. Madden
Human Movement Studies & Special Education Faculty Publications
Ticket sales represent a significant revenue stream for NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision athletic departments, yet little is known about how administrators determine prices for those tickets. Utilizing strategic planning as the primary framework and supplemented by stakeholder theory, this study examines ticket-pricing decisions from the viewpoint of athletic administrators with various departmental responsibilities to better understand the role of ticket pricing in intercollegiate sport. Twenty athletic administrators, representing two Power 5 and two Group of 5 institutions, were interviewed about their experiences with ticket pricing. In addition to common pricing objectives related to revenue, patronage, and operations, administrators also suggested …
