The Morality Of Heart Transplants: A Debate, Ken Brown, Mark Coppenger, Ronnie Ford, Allen Hampton, William Morgan, Roger Schoeniger

Honors Theses

Over a year has passed since the first heart transplant was accomplished, and in that short year, many questions concerning ethics, law, and theology have come forth to be debated. So many questions exist that a very exhaustive study would be needed; however, three main considerations will give a basic understanding of the implications of heart transplants. The Religion and Philosophy Honors Seminar has been exploring heart transplants this past semester. This paper is a summary of the three main issues concerning heart transplants with emphasis upon the theological and philosophical implications involved.

The Philosophy Of Gabriel Marcel, Mark Coppenger

Honors Theses

The first contact I had with the writings of Gabriel Marcel was in his book, Being and Having. The book had the effect of cooling me toward Marcel because so often I really had to struggle to get what he was saying. Next, Homo Viator came a little more easily but was still difficult, especially the parts about hope and Rilke. Finally, I read the two-volume work, The Mystery of Being. The first volume was a lot clearer than the first two books, but in the second volume, I really started to get the feel for his writings. …

A Study Of Revelation, Ken Brown

Honors Theses

Through the centuries man has felt a deep, innate thirst for an intimate relationship with the Infinite.

The Reformation Hymn Of Martin Luther, Shelby Earl Cowling

Honors Theses

When stating that the singing of praises to God was profitable to devotion, Luther was on common ground with his fellow reformers. In his encouragement of all forms of church music appropriate to worship, Luther was very much alone.

The Influence Of The Early English Baptists On The Development Of The Concept Of Religious Liberty, Rebecca Saunders

Honors Theses

To interpret the possible impact of the Leveler movement and to understand the nature of this party of revolt, one must first know the character of its leaders, as well as the content and derivation of their ideals. Hence without the near martyrdom and popular image of John Lil- burne, the exactness and innuence in debating of John Wildman, the agi- tating leadership of Edward Sexby, the democratic zeal of Richard Over- ton, and the organization and clarifications of William Walwyn, the Leveller movementwould never have attained its form and influence.
