The Substance Of Reality: Moral Perfectionism In Shakespeare's Hamlet., David Wright
The Substance Of Reality: Moral Perfectionism In Shakespeare's Hamlet., David Wright
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Through a selection of and close reading of key passages, I offer an interpretation of Hamlet that seeks to illuminate the play as an important work of moral philosophy, and to situate the play within a strand of moral philosophy named moral perfectionism by Stanley Cavell. Indeed, Hamlet is a masterpiece of Renaissance drama, but when read with attention to moral perfectionism, the play yields additional layers of meaning. Hamlet is a “philosophical drama” that navigates the “moral calling of philosophy”—a text that seems to, almost uncannily, elicit the audience to think reflectively, to ask fundamental human questions along …

Hearing The Call: The Need For An Evangelical Theology Of 'Intentional Christian Community' And Consecrated Life At Taylor University In The 21st Century, Hank Voss
Presentations
Taylor University's Life Together Covenant calls the university "a covenant community of Christians . . . intentionally joining together for academic progress, personal development, and spiritual growth." This paper presented at the 2025 Intentional Christian Communities Explorer's Gathering argues for a theological understanding of Taylor University's intentional Christian community as a consecrated Christian sodality with a specific second-order commitment, a community rule, symbolic vestiture, leadership structures, and a specific charism for the larger church.
Apologetic Response To The Timing Contradiction In The Synoptic Gospels, Oluwaseun Ebenezer Agboola
Apologetic Response To The Timing Contradiction In The Synoptic Gospels, Oluwaseun Ebenezer Agboola
Masters Theses
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, commonly known as the Synoptic Gospels, serve as the primary sources for understanding the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For centuries, Christians have treated these accounts as sacred and authoritative texts that shaped doctrine and devotion. However, despite their theological significance, the Synoptic Gospels present challenges when examined from a historical and literary perspective. One of the most debated issues is the apparent discrepancies in the timing of the crucifixion of Jesus. While the Gospel of Mark states that the crucifixion was at the third hour (9 a.m.), Luke emphasizes …

I Came To Fulfill The Law: ΠληρόΩ As Used In The Discourses Of Jesus, Ethan Lunik
Masters Theses
One of the central questions of the church with respect to Christian orthopraxy, or right living, concerns the relationship between the Christian and the Old Testament (OT) Law. Historically, the church has not obeyed many commands clearly laid out in the OT, such as observing a seventh-day Sabbath, the dietary laws, and other laws that perhaps are viewed as cultural more than didactic. Christians understand the OT to be inspired Scripture, and these commands to be genuine orders of God, so the question of why the church has historically ignored these commands is easily raised. While answers to this question …

The Clarity And Obscurity Of Inspired Writings: A Historical Survey From Late Antiquity To Early Nineteenth- Century America, Denis Kaiser
The Clarity And Obscurity Of Inspired Writings: A Historical Survey From Late Antiquity To Early Nineteenth- Century America, Denis Kaiser
Andrews University Seminary Studies (AUSS)
Throughout Christian history, pastors, scholars, and church leaders have discussed whether, or to what extent, Scripture is clear or obscure. This article surveys the views on the clarity and obscurity of Scripture as advocated by Christian writers in five eras from late antiquity to early nineteenth-century America. Writers in the Protestant tradition have generally objected to the common notions among Roman Catholics that Scripture is obscure, consists of a four-fold sense, and that normative teaching authority is in the hands of the magisterium. Lutheran, Reformed, and Pietist scholars have generally emphasized the importance of having an educated clergy that understands …

Study Of Religious Experience Using The Introspection Method: Case Of Estonia, Siim Nigulas, Tõnu Lehtsaar
Study Of Religious Experience Using The Introspection Method: Case Of Estonia, Siim Nigulas, Tõnu Lehtsaar
Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe
This article revisits the method of introspection as a valuable tool for studying religious experience in Estonia, where spirituality is often personal, unaffiliated, and deeply introspective. Drawing on the legacy of the Dorpat school—particularly Karl Girgensohn—it highlights how experimental introspection can illuminate the dimensions of faith. Considering Estonia’s post-Soviet religious individualization, the method offers a culturally fitting and academically rigorous approach. The study argues for the revival and adaptation of introspective techniques to explore the inner dynamics of belief in a secular yet spiritually curious society.

Examining How Spiritual And Communal Practices Mediate The Influence Of Family Worship On Church Satisfaction, Jimmy Adil, Carthy Joy Aguillon, Ray Opao, Susa Opao, Arceli Rosario
Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association
The influence of family worship on church satisfaction through mediators such as relational care, small group participation, and application of Bible teachings, was examined in this study. Data from 4,538 participants show that these mediators more than doubled the direct effect of family worship, indicating a synergistic relationship between family worship and the mediating variables.

Familiarity With Health Principles And Community Engagement: A Dietary Perspective, Jimmy Adil Jr, Carthy Joy Aguillon, Ray Opao, Susa Opao, Arceli Rosario
Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association
Familiarity with the Adventist Health Message relates differently to outreach involvement depending on diet. Among the 5,849 participants, pescatarians and vegetarians showed a stronger positive link between health message awareness and willingness to increase outreach engagement, while vegans and meat-eaters showed no significant effect, suggesting diet may shape health-belief-driven outreach.

Spiritual growth was found to moderate the relationship between awareness of the global “I Will Go” initiative and witnessing to non-Adventists. Analysis of 6,365 responses showed neither factor alone predicted evangelistic engagement, but their interaction had a significant effect (p < 0.001), indicating both are essential for effective outreach.

A Sem Study Of The Three Domains Of Religious Experience, Mediated By Intellectual Humility And Cognitive Flexibility, Predicting Religious Tolerance Among Christian University Students, Conrad Dioniz Zygmont, David Dioniz Bolton
Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association
The present study extends an existing mediation model of religiosity and socio-cognitive variables influence on religious tolerance by considering three religious co-variates (informal religion/personal spirituality, formalised religiosity, and God image) as antecedents. The sample for this study is recruited through university Christian student associations. The results will be discussed from an Adventist perspective challenging contemporary discourse of religiosity vs spirituality, and image of God.

Leadership Programs As A Moderator Of Youth Involvement In Evangelistic Outreach, Jimmy Adil Jr, Carthy Joy Aguillon, Ray Opao, Susa Opao, Arceli Rosario
Adventist Human-Subject Researchers Association
This study explores how youth involvement in decision-making and leadership preparation influences evangelistic outreach. Using Gen Z data (N = 1,272), quantile regression showed decision-making involvement significantly predicted outreach participation. Leadership preparation also correlated positively, with its moderating effect varying across levels of outreach engagement.
