Developing An Operation Model For Mission Trips On Health And Evangelism In Developing Countries - The Salama Health Project., Sozina Katuli

Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association

Many mission trips conducted by health workers and evangelists in developing countries have benefitted the communities in Africa. However, some of these benefits have been very short-lived and need to be more sustainable. Once the mission team leaves, the communities are left unattended, with little or no support. This project employs a mission research grassroots approach. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of the research-mission approach in terms of acceptability and sustainability by using the PRECED/PROCEED, model.

Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association

Globally, 15% of Seventh-day Adventists have some form of disability, the same percentage found in the world population. Yet barriers to belonging beyond access to a physical building persist. This study explores dimensions of belonging, compares findings across world divisions of the church, and makes recommendations for research and practice.

The Invitation Of Prayer: A Fresh Perspective On How To Fellowship With The Triune God, Simone Twibell

Scholar Week 2016 - present

Prayer seems intimidating to many Christians. We wonder if we are doing it right, or saying the right things, or praying often enough, or in the right way. In this paper, I propose that there is absolutely no wrong way to pray. Instead, opening ourselves up to prayer is opening ourselves up to receiving and enacting the grace of God already at work in our lives to fill us even more deeply. Here, I examine prayer from a triune perspective that engages God the Father, in the name of Jesus, through the power of the Spirit. Learning to fellowship with …

Spiritual Mysteries That Matter When Leading, Gregg Chenoweth

Scholar Week 2016 - present

We need a God who guides, right now, in real time, through the projects and ambitions of our lives. The Apostle Paul did too. Like us, he never met the material Jesus and had to cultivate what he called a “competence” for being guided by God in the Spirit. This identity became so central to his life, he told the Church in Corinth his reputation should be as a “steward of mysteries.” We can be that too. We must. We lead in a world fixated on, "believe it when you see it," yet God provides more to us than sight. …

God-The Answer, Adrienne J. Royo

Faculty Works

During the past year and a half, with COVID-19 raging across the globe, there have been many instances when there could be doubt as to where God is, queries as to what He is doing, and musing as to how we are going to get out of this situation. But, we must be constantly turning to the Word of God, and His promises, to have the assurance that; even though, sin is raging, God is still in charge and working things out in the best way Anxiety and fears can be turned over to God, knowing that He is the …

Mothers And Sons: Queen Mothers Of Judah And The Religious Trends That Develop During Their Sons' Reign, Brian Bowen

Scholar Week 2016 - present

This thesis studies the implicit relationship between the early gĕbîrôt of the Judaean Monarchy and the religious trends during the reigns of their sons. While previous studies had noted a relationship between the origins of the gĕbîrâ and the religious evaluation of her son, a systematic treatment on this subject has not yet been written. After necessary background information has been explored, this study systematically analyzes the first three queen mothers of Judah (Bathsheba, Naamah, and Maacah) in view of their ethnic or national origins, the theophoric nature of their sons’ names, and their implicit religious and political effects upon …

Origen’S Christian Philosophy: Misunderstood Master Or Horrendous Heretic?, Shelby Karch

Scholar Week 2016 - present

Throughout history, there has been no more a divisive figure than Origen of Alexandria with regards to his teachings being considered complete heresy or pure genius. Heretic or not, it is unquestionable that Origen’s innovative influence as the Father of Systematic Theology is far-reaching in Christian philosophy and systematic theology. His most important written work, On First Principles, exemplifies the most important goals of systematic theology by organizing the foundations of faith thematically to be best understood. Because he is one of the first to present theology in this manner, his method can be directly traced to secular sources. …

Rational Creatures: Examining The Cat-Dog Divide In The Medieval World, Emily Price

Capstone Showcase

The spiritual chasm of status that exists between man and beast is daily put to the test by the very beasts kept in our homes. Human beings have a long history of keeping animals for one reason or another, but it has only been recently that the concept of animals purely maintained for companionship has taken center stage. The Middle Ages in particular served as a transformative moment in the history of the “pet,” where not only was the role of the animal within man’s existence re-examined, but so, too, were the specific animals preferred by different cultures more solidly …
