Rhetoric And Paradigm Change In Science: Three Case Studies, John B. Eichler

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigates, as case studies, three little-known scientific concepts, each put forth by a well-known, respected scientist. In each case the concept suggested challenges an established scientific paradigm and, if correct, would significantly alter our current view of the universe. All three concepts seem to be ripe to invoke a paradigm shift yet none has yet occurred. This study looks at these cases through the lens of (1) the rhetorical arguments used by these scientists and their followers to advance their proposed concepts, and (2) the paradigm shift model as put forth by Thomas Kuhn. A detailed, largely non-technical, …

My thesis contains several stories of different car enthusiasts and the history behind the car(s) they work on and cherish. My son’s story is included, which details how he became a car enthusiast. The stories will show the influences cars have had over families through time. The stories bring the cars to life. The questions I will answer are: Why this car? and What does it mean to the family that owns it? The stories about the cars and why so much time and effort is being put into them can be inspiring to readers, and I have captured a …

Analyzing The Selfie: Exploring Gender Identity Through Nude Photography, Darby Gieringer

Theses and Dissertations

As the use of photography increases in contemporary society, so does the need to understand the role of self-photography as a form of identity expression. While forms of selfies have existed for centuries, technological advances provide a vehicle through which people can express themselves with complete autonomy, altering power dynamics and traditional expectations of perception. This project utilizes a multimodal, interdisciplinary framework, as it incorporates digital selfies, studio images, and written questionnaires, which are analyzed through Gender Studies and Rhetoric lenses. Twenty people participated in the project, completing nude, faceless selfies and questionnaires to reflect on their experiences. Of those, …

The Poor Of 1984: The Roots Of George Orwell's Final Novel, James M. Lang

Ethics Conference

Most American readers know George Orwell as the author of 1984 and Animal Farm, and as such consider him a staunch critic of communism and prophet of the surveillance state. But Orwell spent much of his writing career focused on exploring the cause and nature of poverty, and remained a committed socialist until his death. This lecture will put 1984 within the full context of Orwell’s career, and especially his lifelong criticism of big business and laissez-faire capitalism.

By making a compelling argument that christocentrism, not bibliocentrism, is the truly evangelical response to theological liberalism and cultural caricaturing, The Bible Made Impossible warrants mandatory reading by all thoughtful Christians and thorough discussion by Lutheran pastors, professors, and seminarians.

Implications Of Brain Research For The Church:What It Means For Theology And Ministry By Allen Nauss, Bruce Hartung

Concordia Journal

It is certainly true that “seminaries and the church’s clergy in the field can certainly become more effective in their ministry as they combine emotion with cognition, work to balance the activity of both hemispheres, become aware of their biases and the virtues of Christ’s model, develop their empathy, translate their theology into meaning, and apply it in their worship and their lives”

Easter 3 • Acts 2:14a, 36–41 • May 4, 2014, Jeffrey Oschwald

Concordia Journal

This proclamation of the crucified and risen Lord and Christ encompasses all in its call to repentance but addresses each individual personally in its offer of salvation.

Easter 2 • Acts 5:29–42 • April 27, 2014, David Wollenburg

Concordia Journal

That is good and proper, but on the second Sunday of Easter that really is not the emphasis. Rather this is a call, on this and every day, to be witnesses to Christ’s resurrection, his enthronement at the right hand of God, and the gift of repentance and forgiveness of sins which he gives.

Lent 5 • Ezekiel 37:1–14 • April 6, 2014, Joel Okamoto

Concordia Journal

Psalm 118:22, “The stone the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.” Some who saw and heard Jesus firsthand did not believe but instead killed him.

Palm Sunday • Isaiah 50:4–9a • April 13, 2014, Glenn Nielsen

Concordia Journal

After describing what Jesus will go through, the sermon retells how Peter answers correctly Jesus’s question about whom the disciples say he is only to be quickly told to get behind Jesus when he tries to stop Jesus from going to Jerusalem.

Lent 5 • Ezekiel 37:1–14 • April 6, 2014, Andrew Bartelt

The resurrection is coming: that is the goal, and it brings hope to a hopeless people, not just death but resurrection.

Lent 4 • Isaiah 42:14–21 • March 30, 2014, Robert Kolb

Turn to the execution of his promise in Christ, the one who opens our ears to God’s communication, his torah, and who opens our eyes to his concern for us, both in his anguish over our sins and in his love that delivers us from evil.

Lent 3 • Exodus 17:1–7 • March 23, 2014, Benjamin Haupt

Concordia Journal

Like the people of Israel, Satan will seek to draw them too into complaining, murmuring, and unbelief. Urge your hearers not to be like the people of Israel or like any of those who have gone before us

Lent 2 • Genesis 12:1–9 • March 16, 2014, Arthur Graudin

Concordia Journal

Lent 1 • Genesis 3:1–21 • March 9, 2014, Henry Rowold

Concordia Journal

By divine design, Genesis 3 is an inseparable part of a unit (Gn 1–3), and neither Genesis 1–2 nor Genesis 3 should be discussed without the other.

Transfiguration Sunday • Exodus 24:8–18 • March 2, 2014, Jeffery Gibbs

Concordia Journal

If OT Israel needed a mediator, the one named and appointed to approach the presence of God on behalf of the people, how much greater is our mediator, the Son of God.

Epiphany 7 • Leviticus 19:1–2, 9–18 • February 23, 2014, Timothy Saleska

Concordia Journal

What are our lives to look like and how can they best reflect Christ? It is from this perspective that Leviticus 1–2, 9–18 have something to teach us.

Epiphany 6 • Deuteronomy 30:15–20 • February 16, 2014, Robert Weise

Concordia Journal

Choice within the context of Deuteronomy 30 is not a matter of picking and choosing. Choice is a covenant term wherein God is the subject.

Epiphany 5 • Isaiah 58:3–9a • February 9, 2014, Timothy Dost

Concordia Journal

When we put up an appearance of righteousness without attendant love manifesting itself in deeds for the neighbor, we only fool ourselves and, in the end, indicate that our own situation is already ruined by our hardness of heart.
