Liturgical Aesthetics: A Case For Beauty In The Church, Charlotte Ostric
Liturgical Aesthetics: A Case For Beauty In The Church, Charlotte Ostric
Philosophy Student Projects
This paper is intended to challenge the contemporary church in America to consider the ways it can reflect beauty in liturgical practices and the importance of beauty in an ecclesial setting. It dispels notions such as "aesthetic autonomy" and offers a method of "fittingness" for churches and ecclesial settings to inform their own liturgical practices.
Theopathic Analogy: A Canonical-Theological Approach To God’S Emotions, Hunter Tabor
Theopathic Analogy: A Canonical-Theological Approach To God’S Emotions, Hunter Tabor
Philosophy Student Projects
The philosophical and theological problem of divine impassibility has received much attention in recent years. One way of articulating this problem in Christian theology is this: can one truthfully ascribe emotions to God? This paper responds in the affirmative. After explaining the problem of anthropomorphism leveled against religious language, I argue that analogy best accounts for human speech about God and effectively responds to this critique. Second, I outline a canonical-inductive approach to the Bible that takes seriously the unity of God’s self-disclosure. From these commitments, I argue that God’s emotions are not anthropopathic—“bottom-up” human projections. Instead, human emotions are …
Kantian Reason & Epistemic Humility, Elias Seeman
Kantian Reason & Epistemic Humility, Elias Seeman
Lux et Fides: A Journal for Undergraduate Christian Scholars
Immanuel Kant continues to be one of the most influential thinkers in the history of philosophy. His thought shapes much of contemporary culture and has dramatically influenced Christian philosophy and theology. While some of this influence is beneficial, there are components of Kantian thought – especially as it pertains to the capabilities of human reason to arrive at true knowledge of God – that are decidedly problematic. In this paper, two different readings on Kant’s work on this subject are presented, followed by a brief overview of key insights and shortcomings. The final section charts a positive way forward for …

Hear & Believe: Epistemic Humility And The Limits Of Human Reason, Elias Seeman
Hear & Believe: Epistemic Humility And The Limits Of Human Reason, Elias Seeman
Philosophy Student Projects
There are few more hotly debated questions in philosophy than the capacity of human reason as it relates to knowing God. Both Immanuel Kant and G.W.F. Hegel dedicated a significant portion of their work to precisely this question. These thinkers, however, did not seek to understand the capabilities and limits of human reason from a distinctly Christian perspective. Their work, while containing real insights, has serious, problematic implications for Christian thinkers, making it imperative to chart a path toward a robustly Christian, Biblically-anchored, conception of reason.
Euthyphro & The Third Horn, Elias Seeman
Euthyphro & The Third Horn, Elias Seeman
Philosophy Student Projects
One of the most interesting questions in Christian ethics is known as the Euthyphro problem. Put simply, the question is "is something good just because God commands it, or does God command something because it is good." It is a question of the foundation of morals. Typically, there are two responses to this problem, both of which I find unsatisfying. In the paper, I propose a third way of understanding the dilemma.
Analyzing Substance Dualism From A Christian Perspective, Samuel J. Fulbright
Analyzing Substance Dualism From A Christian Perspective, Samuel J. Fulbright
Philosophy Senior Capstone
This paper seeks to analyze the Substance Dualist position from a Christian perspective. After looking briefly at the way in which the Christian Scriptures present the relationship between the body and the soul, the paper then turns to looking at the way in which the Substance Dualist position presents the relationship between the body and the soul. It ends by offering a Christian response to some of the most common and most popular objections raised against Substance Dualism.

What Is Man, That You Are Mindful Of Him? The Harmony Of Substance Dualism And Mbti, Reilly Larose
What Is Man, That You Are Mindful Of Him? The Harmony Of Substance Dualism And Mbti, Reilly Larose
Philosophy Student Projects
The substance dualist philosophy of mind and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator share many philosophical commitments which harmonize together. I make the argument in this work that when taken together, both theories aid each other in making their claims meaningful. With such a union, both theories have new directions to explore for mutual gain and open themselves up to consistency of thought in the face of critique.

Reading Fantasy For A Better Understanding Of Spiritual Life In A Material World, Donald P. Gauger
Reading Fantasy For A Better Understanding Of Spiritual Life In A Material World, Donald P. Gauger
Papers Presented at Previous Colloquia
Can reading the fantasy works of certain authors help us better understand difficult spiritual concepts, gain insights bridging the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds, and help us live spiritually-fulfilled lives in a material world? In George MacDonald’s novel Phantasies: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women, Anodos experiences twenty-one years of life in fairyland in twenty-one days, gains spiritual insights from those adventures, and is thereafter a changed person. In J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel, The Children of Húrin, the son Túrin repeatedly illustrates the spiritual interplay between God’s Grace, evil’s curse, and consequences in …
