Honors Theses

Barth, influential in the twentieth century, viewed divine knowledge as accessible only through Jesus Christ's revelation, critiquing any historical or metaphysical bases for such knowledge.

Following The Glory Cloud: Bethel Church & Maintenance Of The Revival Church, Jenny Edwards
Honors Theses
This departmental honors project examines the effects of routinization of charisma upon Bethel Church in Redding, California. As a movement related to both the Assemblies of God and the Toronto Blessing of the 1990s, Bethel has begun to declare an eternal revival based in their city. To prevent the movement from routinizing and dissipating, the leadership has instituted several structures within the church. The overall corporate hierarchy, the recent policy of inclusion within the hierarchy regardless of gender, the involvement of the congregation in performing miraculous acts, and the discipleship of future generations of participants and leaders through established ministry …

Healing As Understood By Three Christian Perspectives: Roman Catholic, Church Of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), And The Church Of Christ, Scientist, Rozmond Collins Johnson
Honors Theses
In their attempts to exemplify the healing brought about by Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) and the Church of Christ, Scientist, all demonstrate the potential of a healing ministry in modern times.
