Making Music In The House Of God: How Augustine Influenced Jean Calvin And Martin Luther's Opinions On Musical Worship, Emma N. Ross

Musical Offerings

Music for worship has been a divisive topic throughout church history. Augustine of Hippo influenced Jean Calvin and Martin Luther’s theology of music, although in different ways. Their opinions differed, but all three men cared deeply about applying a correct interpretation of the Bible to church music. Augustine’s opinion of music was that, when correctly understood, it had the capacity to glorify God. However, music could become a dangerous earthly pleasure if the senses were allowed to have control. Calvin argued that music must be used with care, not due to the problem of music, but rather the weakness and …

Violin Intonation: The Connection Between The Violin’S Tuning System And Performance, Marion J. Johnson

Musical Offerings

The history of the violin’s intricate tuning system is rich with various pitch standards, the influence of musicians, and diversity of violin craftsmanship. The violin offers a wide array of tuning techniques, and even the smallest intonation adjustment can wildly impact the violin’s pitch and playability. Violinists possess an enormous capability to facilitate effective tuning in a solo and ensemble setting. The design of the instrument’s body, dating as far back as the early Renaissance and extending to the modern violin, impacts timbre, resonance, and string tension. Every detail of the violin, even those that may seem inconsequential, affects its …

Psalms And Saints In The Offices: From Prayerful Praise To Commemorating Cults, Paul Scanlon

Musical Offerings

Through the Medieval Era, the function of the Offices shifted from continual God-directed prayer to advancing and preserving local culture. The early form of the Offices found in the Rule of St. Benedict was built on the Psalms, engraining their words in the participants through the structure of the services and the weekly repetition. Commitment to primarily scriptural content is evidenced in early church traditions, papal decrees, and conservative efforts from clergymen. However, this focus changed with the emergence of cults of saints, which integrated the Offices into civic culture. As the number of feast days greatly expanded, cantors across …

End Of The Patrol: Analysis Of The Blimp And Its Contributions To The Us Navy, 1941-1962, Spencer M. Benefiel

Channels: Where Disciplines Meet

From 1917 to 1962, the United States Navy was America’s main contributor to the use of lighter-than-air vehicles, from small observational kite-balloons to the massive infamous rigid airships like the ill-fated Shenandoah, Akron, and Macon. Most aviation histories cover the Navy’s rigid airships but ignore the post-rigid era, a period that began after the demise of the Hindenburg. This study serves to examine the Navy’s airship program in the subsequent two time periods: World War II and the post-war era. This study is based upon both qualitative and quantitative sources, most of which come from written …

"A Guiding Star To The Youth Of Every Land": Analyzing E. D. E. N. Southworth's Depiction Of The 19th Century Ideal Man In Ishmael, Grace Mowery

Channels: Where Disciplines Meet

Much of E. D. E. N. Southworth’s literature falls into Nina Baym’s category of “woman’s fiction,” a genre of 19th-century fiction written by women, about women, and for an audience of women. However, Southworth’s self-proclaimed favorite, Ishmael, breaks away from her past successes as she weaves a story about the male experience. From childhood to his successful career in the courtroom, Ishmael Worth navigates various discourses of manhood – restrained and martial, self-made, and sentimental – and redeems the best elements of each to provide a model for 19th-century men. With a male helming her book, Southworth tears down True …

Why Ancient Worldwide Ziggurat/Pyramid Complexes Support The Biblical Babel Account, Anne Habermehl

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

Although the best-known feature of Babel was the tower that Noah’s rebellious descendants began to build in Shinar, the Bible says that they were constructing a “city” there as well. No details are included about the Babel city and tower. However, as this paper will show, the city that accompanied the tower was most likely composed of temples and various other religious structures, and the tower was a ziggurat (stepped pyramid).

If we look around the world, we see many ancient pagan complexes consisting of ziggurats together with temples and other buildings. It appears that after the Babel dispersion, far …

Holy Spirit’S Refreshing Our Bodies Via Biological Redemption And The Creation Model, James D. Johansen

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

The Holy Spirit is an active participant in creation all the way back to Gen 1:1, as He moved over the surface of the water, and He continues to sustain us. In terms of a Creation Model, human design has a Holy Spirit interface design feature that should be characterized. This paper examines the biological extent to which individuals acting in our Imago Dei missional calling are supported by the work of the Holy Spirit. The premise is that the Holy Spirit uses and revitalizes an individual’s capabilities through engagement with their spirit, soul, and body. Redemption is not only …

That The Book Of Job Describes Events Prior To Abraham And Coincides With The End Of The Ice Age, David S. Bolls

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

The Torah records the origin of man down to the Exodus but is assumed to silently pass over the critical period between the Tower of Babel and Abraham. This period spans approximately 700 years according to the Greek translation of the Torah. This “dark age” period, therefore, contains a gap where the people of the earth would have spread out to inhabit the world as the Scriptures indicate. It has been an open question whether the knowledge of the one true God would have been handed from generation to generation during this period down to Abraham, or if a sudden …

The Septuagint Vs. The Masoretic Text … A Statistical Perspective, Samuel J. Smithers, Trevor Specht, Erick M. Smith

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

Introduction (Background): This paper continues the discussion on whether the Hebrew Masoretic Text (MT) or the Greek Septuagint (LXX) more accurately preserves the original chronology of the patriarchs. For context, the LXX indicates we are approximately 7,500 years Anno Mundi (year after creation or AM) while the MT indicates we are approximately 6,000 years AM. This paper focuses on post flood chronology (Noah to Moses) due to the opportunity to use the concept of biological decay curves and statistical comparison. Additional chronologies or historical data points are provided for additional insight.

Methods: Assuming the concept of a genetic biological decay …

The Role Of And Limits On Uniformitarian Principles In Creationist Sedimentology Research, Sarah A. Maithel

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

James Hutton and Charles Lyell are widely considered the “fathers of modern geology”; they developed a framework for understanding Earth processes through the lens of uniformitarianism. According to their model, modern geologic processes extrapolated over long periods of time could deposit the sedimentary rock record and shape the Earth throughout its history. In other words, “the present is the key to the past”. While many now recognize the role of catastrophes in producing some geological deposits, modern processes are still used to interpret the rock record, especially in the field of sedimentology.

As creation scientists, however, we understand that the …
