A Renaissance Of The Visual Arts In Worship For Churches Of Christ, Heather Heflin Hodges
A Renaissance Of The Visual Arts In Worship For Churches Of Christ, Heather Heflin Hodges
Doctor of Ministry Theses
This Doctor of Ministry thesis presents the results of a project in which a group of four artists from across the United States met via video conference to create liturgical art activities that can be integrated into the Sunday morning worship for Churches of Christ. The problem identified at the beginning of the project was a lack of integration of the visual arts in worship in Churches of Christ. I understood this lack to be due in part to an iconoclastic heritage in Protestantism as well as a focus on rational intellectualism and desire for simplicity in worship as a …
David Lipscomb On Rebaptism: Contexts Of A Controversy, Mcgarvey Ice
David Lipscomb On Rebaptism: Contexts Of A Controversy, Mcgarvey Ice
Library Research and Publications
This paper sets David Lipscomb's position on rebaptism in three contexts.
First, to provide a historical context, it states the circumstances of his baptism
and examines how and to what ends he employed the narrative of it. Second, to
craft a theological context, it contours in a broad way his doctrine of baptism.
Third, to furnish an ecclesial context, it scrutinizes the practice of receiving
members at Nashville's South College Street Christian Church, where he served
as an elder.
Explaining The Obvious: Privileged Hermeneutics And The Irony Of Explicitly Literal Interpretation, Joshua Alkire
Explaining The Obvious: Privileged Hermeneutics And The Irony Of Explicitly Literal Interpretation, Joshua Alkire
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to examine why so many uses of the word literal (whether taken from everyday contemporary speech or the works of well-respected ancient writers) seem at odds with the word’s theoretical definition and to explore the implications of this disparity for those who privilege a literal interpretation of Scripture. The examples will show that the meaning of literal was not altered at a particular point in time, nor is it altered on an ongoing basis by a small subset of particularly idiosyncratic individuals. Rather, the word is predisposed to behave strangely the moment it is …
Evaluating “Discovery Bible Study” In An Evangelism Program At African Christian College, Floyd Vidler
Evaluating “Discovery Bible Study” In An Evangelism Program At African Christian College, Floyd Vidler
Doctor of Ministry Theses
The problem addressed in this project emerges from my understanding of evangelism. For me evangelism must include proclamation, discipleship, a reliance on the Holy Spirit, and the utilization of small groups. I see DBS as accomplishing these goals, and the problem of this work was to demonstrate whether this is true in the context of African Christian College and the surrounding area.
I used a method called participatory action research. I made it my goal to learn all that I could about DBS and then share this material in a classroom setting with my students at ACC. We then participated …
Spiritual Transformation At Austin Christian Church, David Hooper
Spiritual Transformation At Austin Christian Church, David Hooper
Doctor of Ministry Theses
This project was designed to meet a need at the Austin Christian Church (ACC) for enhancing the spiritual formation of new converts to Christianity by providing clear direction for mentors seeking to disciple others into the image of Christ. The scope of this project is focused directly on taking the first steps toward a deliberate pathway for spiritual formation by establishing the foundational principles. The apostle Paul’s pastoral theology provides the theological rationale for the project. Theosis, the theologically rich description of the Christian transformative process, also informs the theological foundation for the project. Drawing on the work of Richard …
