On The Unique Headship Of Christ In The Church: A Statement Of The Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary, Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary Sep 2014

On The Unique Headship Of Christ In The Church: A Statement Of The Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary, Seventh-Day Adventist Theological Seminary

Books

We, the faculty of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, affirm that Christ is the only Head of the Church (Eph 1:22; 5:23; Col 1:18). Therefore, while there exists legitimate leadership in the Church, no other human being may rightfully claim a headship role in the Church. As Head of the Church, Christ provides the ultimate manifestation of God’s love (Eph 5:23, 25), demonstrating and vindicating God’s moral government of love (Rom 3:4, 25-26 5:8), and thus defeating the counterfeit government of the usurping “ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 16:11; cf. DA 758; 2T 2:211).

Focus On Children's Ministry, S. Joseph Kidder Aug 2014

Focus On Children's Ministry, S. Joseph Kidder

Faculty Publications

In researching growing Seventh-day Adventist churches in North America we discovered that the common denominator among these churches is their focus on children’s ministries. In the past, parents brought their children to the church and the Lord. Today, children bring their parents and friends to the church if they enjoy their experience there.

The Life And Status Of Women In Achaemenid Persia, Erika Mikkelson Jul 2014

The Life And Status Of Women In Achaemenid Persia, Erika Mikkelson

Posters, Presentations, and Papers

“The Life and Status of Women in Achaemenid Persia” aims to understand and explain Persian culture in light of the story of Esther and to dispose of presuppositions that may have arisen from misunderstandings of Jewish culture. Understanding this information gives us a better picture of how women lived within the palace thereby facilitating an understanding of how Esther may have lived. To accomplish this, the Persepolis Fortification Tablets, resources that examine the archeological structure and composition of the Palace in Persepolis, and current studies on women in Persia have been explored. The Persepolis Fortification Tablets provide information on transactions …

The Derivation Of Identity: Gender, Masculinity, And Sexuality In Coriolanus, Matthew Chacko, L. Monique Pittman Ph.D. Jul 2014

The Derivation Of Identity: Gender, Masculinity, And Sexuality In Coriolanus, Matthew Chacko, L. Monique Pittman Ph.D.

Posters, Presentations, and Papers

William Shakespeare wrote Coriolanus (1608) when two epistemological modes, empiricism and theater, asserted competing constructions of selfhood. As Renaissance anatomical texts imply, empiricism voiced an increasingly stable and innate subjectivity. In contrast, theater imagined identity as fluid and subject to external manipulation by exposure to the stage. Coriolanus faces a dilemma of selfhood reflecting those conflicting epistemological modes. Outside agents attempt to change his subjectivity, mirroring the theater, while Coriolanus asserts his immutable identity, paralleling empirical understandings. Coriolanus’s concerns of selfhood echo Renaissance subjective anxieties during a changing period as different epistemologies, empiricism and theater, launched rival notions of identity. …

Ecclesiastical Deadlock: James White Solves A Problem That Had No Answer, George R. Knight Jul 2014

Ecclesiastical Deadlock: James White Solves A Problem That Had No Answer, George R. Knight

Faculty Publications

Church organization was one of the hardest fought battles in Adventism’s early decades. Extending nearly 20 years, the struggle not only eventuated in aspects of church order not suggested in Scripture but provided a key hermeneutical principle for deciding other topics not made explicit in the Bible. In the process, James White, and many others, experienced a hermeneutical metamorphosis, a necessary transformation that allowed Seventh-day Adventism to develop into a worldwide force.

A Theology Of Ordination: An Integration Of Bible And Ellen G. White’S Writings, P. Gerard Damsteegt Jul 2014

A Theology Of Ordination: An Integration Of Bible And Ellen G. White’S Writings, P. Gerard Damsteegt

Faculty Publications

A theology of ordination should begin with investigating what is God’s testimony about ordination in the Scriptures. In this study, insights into the Old and New Testament history from the writings of Ellen G. White will be referred to whenever they shed light on the biblical passages and their relevance for today. In addition, the study has tried to investigate how ordination is connected to the truth as it is in Jesus, the Head of the church. Ordination and its authority will also be related to Jesus’ model of leadership in the church. The biblical examples of appointment, consecration, or …

Love And Judgment: God's Triumph -- Part 2, Jo Ann Davidson May 2014

Love And Judgment: God's Triumph -- Part 2, Jo Ann Davidson

Faculty Publications

The judgment message has two complementary aspects: God’s justice against sin on the one hand, and on the other, the extension of God’s blessing to all nations along with the vindication of His love, justice, and mercy. The Scriptures clearly emphasize God’s loathing of evil, linked with the certainty of divine punishment and mercy. The Bible also reminds us that sin produces deadly guilt, and it is this guilt that often causes our blindness to God’s goodness.

P-08 A Composition Project: An Original 12-Tone Fugue Modeled After J.S. Bach’S Bwv 847, Ilana Cady Mar 2014

P-08 A Composition Project: An Original 12-Tone Fugue Modeled After J.S. Bach’S Bwv 847, Ilana Cady

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

The specific goal of this project is to explore the compositional techniques of the 12-tone system developed by Arnold Schoenberg in 1921 and apply these techniques to fugal writing. In this process I am taking Bach’s fugue, BWV 847, and using it as the blueprint for my original 12-tone fugue. I will follow the same overarching structural pattern of BWV 847—retaining the number of voices, subject entries, and usage of the middle development section, while submitting them to the paradigms of 12-tone serialism. My composition will push the fugue form in an unexpected and more progressive direction. The 12-tone system …

P-21 Teaching Strategy: Explaining The History And Themes Of Abstract Expressionism To High School Students Through The Integrative Model, Kirk Maynard

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

The purpose of my thesis is to create a blueprint for teachers to explain art history to students in an efficient way without many blueprints and precedence to guide them. I have chosen to focus my topic on Abstract Expressionism and the model that I will be using to present the concept of Abstract Expressionism will be the integrated model instructional strategy. This integrated model will serve as the guide to creating well crafted art history lessons in the classroom. This integrated model will also be laid out and summarized in a lesson plan designed to give the teacher direction …

P-02 Service Un-Requited: African American Civil War Soldiers And Their Fight For Freedom And Pension Compensation, Clifford Allen Mar 2014

P-02 Service Un-Requited: African American Civil War Soldiers And Their Fight For Freedom And Pension Compensation, Clifford Allen

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

My research project consists of delving through over nine hundred pension records from the files of fifteen African American soldiers who participated in the Civil War. These documents are comprised of general affidavits, witness statements, physicians’ certificates, military enlistment records, marriage certificates, military roll/attendance records, certificates for discharge, and documentation of receipt of or rejection of pension requests. Using these documents I investigated the cases of these soldiers in order to discover why they did or did not receive their military pensions, the length of time the process of attaining their pensions required, and explore the stories of the soldiers …

P-03 Republic ‘On Earth As It Is In Heaven:’ The Freedom Of The Fall In Paradise Lost And His Dark Materials, Jordan Arellano Mar 2014

P-03 Republic ‘On Earth As It Is In Heaven:’ The Freedom Of The Fall In Paradise Lost And His Dark Materials, Jordan Arellano

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

The epic poem Paradise Lost (1667, 74) retells the Biblical creation story through the blind eyes of the Christian political-poet John Milton. Three hundred years later, Milton’s work is recast by the atheist children’s and fantasy novelist Philip Pullman in the His Dark Materials trilogy (1995, 97, 2000). Although one might assume that these two writers’ perspectives would contradict one another, Pullman’s adaptation—though a perverted story of the Fall—still pursues the same goal as Milton’s by imagining a new and better social structure. And not only do they share that goal, but they also explore the same mechanism—free will.

P-15 Evolution Over Revolution: A Generic Criticism Of The Muscle Car’S Past And Present Hierarchy, John Irvine Mar 2014

P-15 Evolution Over Revolution: A Generic Criticism Of The Muscle Car’S Past And Present Hierarchy, John Irvine

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

Since the early 1960’s the Muscle Car has been seen as representative of American cultural idealism; a post-war expression of Americanism through the medium of octane obsession. Muscle Cars are seen abstractly as an embodiment of several cultural principles; however, what physically constitutes this embodiment, the convergence of these features into the ‘soul’ of the muscle car, is broadly the subject of speculation. The ‘soul’, or formative characteristics, will be established through the generic criticism of a cross section of First Generation 1960’s Muscle Cars. Through analysis of physical features and technical specifications, the substantive and stylistic elements necessary for …

P-16 Constructing Short Fiction: The Creative Writing Process, Mark Joslin Mar 2014

P-16 Constructing Short Fiction: The Creative Writing Process, Mark Joslin

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

This project explores a creative fiction writer’s process through writing four pieces of short fiction. Documenting his progress along the way, the writer uses peer-revision to refine his work. This method means to improve early drafts by both interacting with readers and utilizing the examples of well-known authors. The writer’s stories will be considered successful if their plot moves at a bright pace, if the characters and settings are authentic, and if they come to a satisfying conclusion. The project will consist of these stories and an accompanying writer’s notebook, which examines certain revisions representative of a move to good …

P-20 Isolation And Disconnection, Lynda Lee Mar 2014

P-20 Isolation And Disconnection, Lynda Lee

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

As one of the most recurrent subjects of visual art, the human form has been an important means of communicating human experiences and expressing the philosophical and scientific thoughts of a society. During the early 20th century, artists in Europe began distorting and abstracting the human figure in ways that were unprecedented and often times visually unsettling to emphasize its withdrawn and isolated condition while also suggesting a sense of fragility and vulnerability. Although there are various forms of isolation that can result from a number of different causes, this project explores the concept of social isolation brought about by …

P-22 Te Amo Mujer, Ivan Ruiz

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

Te Amo Mujer is a documentary film project exploring the story of Don Gustavo Jiménez, an old man who lives in a small village in the south of Mexico, and the grandfather of the filmmaker. The film seeks to use the narrative of Don Gustavo to explore the question of why we live where we live. The thesis of the film, or more accurately the suggestion, as the film is a very personal work, is that we live where we do, and how we do, out of love for the people that are closest to us.

P-23 Worldview 2.0: Revisiting, Refinding, And Refining Faith In The University Years, Jacina Shultz Mar 2014

P-23 Worldview 2.0: Revisiting, Refinding, And Refining Faith In The University Years, Jacina Shultz

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

In this non-fiction, creative extended essay, I revisit my worldview essay from Western Heritage, specifically focusing on my belief in a loving God. I trace my path to this belief, beginning with my freshmen year of college when I first started to question its legitimacy. Though teetering on the edge of agnosticism, I eventually learned how a belief in a loving God is not a blind one. I came to understand what it means to have a relationship with God. The project reconstructs the reasoning that verified to me that a faith in God does not have to be ignorant. …
