The problem this study addresses is the broad scale disaffiliation and consequent decline of the Christian church in the U.S., especially among younger generational cohorts.\r\n\r\nThis study utilized a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with six ENLs from diverse parts of the U.S., in large metropolitan regions, representing different denominational traditions. The interviews focused on gaining data with three main research questions: how do ENLs describe their role within an ecclesiastical network? How do ENLs equip pastors to lead transgenerational churches that are reaching dechurched and unchurched people? How do ENLs describe the mission of the local church? In addition, ENLs were asked how they equip pastors with knowledge of: current culture, generational thinking, epistemology, and Christology. \r\n\r\nThe literature review focused on four key areas that provided relevant and foundational knowledge to understand the context and critical work of ENLs. The four areas were: the enmeshment of generational theory and culture, the contours of a secular age, the apologetic appeal of covenant epistemology, and missional ecclesiology. \r\n\r\nThis study concluded that causes leading to mass generational disaffiliation is a complex amalgamation of: the dynamics of an increasingly secularized culture, the church’s loss of missional identity resulting in loss of respectability and relevance among younger generational cohorts, and the fragilization of the Christian faith through a myriad of factors. To address these challenges this study identified commitments and practices of ENLs that address the crisis of disaffiliation. These commitments and practices involved the church’s recovery of its missional identity marked by the following characteristics: a renewed eschatological vision for shalom, holistic ministry addressing the needs of dechurched and unchurched people, the functional unity of the church in a geographic region, and missional contextualization of gospel proclamation and ministry. The study revealed the role of ENLs as instrumental in effectively addressing the crisis of disaffiliation, and the church in decline, through the establishment of citywide networks of missional churches.

To combat the Western church’s unprecedented cultural disdain, it needs a convincing rearticulation of the faith, for which Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age provides essential insights. The arts have a crucial role to play in this, but the church has a poor record of harnessing them well.\r\n\r\nThis study employed a basic qualitative research design, using semi-structured interviews to gather data. Eight creative professionals from a range of artistic fields were interviewed, focusing on four areas: their personal experiences of secularism; their view of the arts’ potential for communicating transcendence; their creative processes; their navigation of the problems of propaganda.\r\n\r\nThe literature review focused on four key areas: biblical narratives of a transcendent God’s involvement within the immanent frame; how the arts challenge and change worldviews; the relationship between the arts and the reality of transcendence; how propaganda exploits and abuses the arts.\r\n\r\nThis study concluded that the arts’ apologetic importance derives from their ability to be truth-bearing outside rationalism. They provide the means for helping people of faith to subvert the norms of prevailing secularism while drawing outsiders to consider a reality beyond closed immanence. Artefacts result from a process of creative exploration driven by an innate curiosity. This penetrates facades and superficiality, with the best of the arts resisting the propagandist’s instinct for assertion and manipulation. \r\n\r\nIf the church is to harness the arts, it must learn to avoid the propagandist’s easy answers and controlling assertions. At the local church level, this will entail leaders listening to and learning from creative professionals to understand how they work and how they can contribute to the life and witness of the people of God."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"related_url_tesim":["https://www.covenantlibrary.org/etd/2022/Meynell_Mark_DMin_2022.pdf"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"_version_":1817534476110004224,"timestamp":"2024-12-04T18:12:29.049Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2024-12-04T17:59:22Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-12-04T17:59:23Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"05820b33-7c4b-4e3b-9599-f8a76fc49504","accessControl_ssim":["816c3d20-914d-4a16-81f7-4615b16412f7"],"depositor_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"title_tesim":["“Do you not know you are God’s temple?” : 1 Corinthians 3:9-17 and Paul’s relational anthropology"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2024-12-04T17:59:21Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-12-04T17:59:22Z","isPartOf_ssim":["admin_set/default"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["4e9a5d54-8fa8-43c5-a69a-2c44f77d065a"],"hasLease_ssim":["be5132d0-98fd-4776-896b-994658bc31db"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Master of Theology"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Covenant Theological Seminary"],"year_tesim":["2023"],"resource_type_tesim":["Thesis"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Quinn, J.

Corinthians, 1st"],"abstract_tesim":["This thesis analyzes in three parts the temple metaphor of 1 Cor. 3:9-17 for Paul’s theology of relationships and, by extension, his relational anthropology. It makes use of the pneumatology of Volker Rabens and the anthropology of Mary Douglas in order to demonstrate how this metaphor depicts the Pauline self as constituted in and through relationships. The first part of this thesis discusses 1 Cor. 3:9-17 as a single metaphor with the Jerusalem temple as the understood referent. Further, I find that persons make up the entirety of this metaphorical temple. This part brings clarity to the metaphor prior to my application of Rabens and Douglas. The second part of this thesis uses Rabens’ pneumatology to argue that Paul’s relational anthropology as depicted in the metaphor preserves the self as a discreet entity while also showing how the self is constituted in and through relationships. By analyzing the interplay between divine grace and human agency in the metaphor, this thesis concludes that the enduring eschatological shape of the self is in some sense relationally-determined. The third part of this thesis employs Douglas’ structuralist methodology to show how the motif of temple holiness structures the embodied self in Christocentric relationships. Employing Douglas’ categories of restricted code to interpret the cultural sense of temples, rituals, ritual purity, and the presence of the divine, this thesis suggests that the notion of an embodied Christian habitus best reflects Paul’s anthropology in 1 Corinthians. Moreover, the concept of habitus explains how one who labors on the metaphorical temple according to the spirit of the world can harm the social order of the eschatological community, while one who labors on the structure according to the mind of Christ further inculcates Christ in others.

People have embraced roles, statuses, and dispositions to fit the changing Korean culture, and in the schools, this shift has resulted in the Student Rights Ordinance. Educational administrations are providing students more liberty to become individualized and egalitarian people, and these new regulations allow students to reject teachers' orders and disciplines, the traditional understanding for sexual orientation, and rules for hairstyles, clothing, pregnancy, and religion. Due to the SRO, public demonstrations between the liberal and conservative parties have escalated.\r\n\r\n        The purpose of this study is to explore how Korean youth ministry pastors preach evangelically to care for teen congregants and their schools amid cultural pressure from the Student Rights Ordinance. This study examines Korean pastors’ sermons given to those directly affected by the ordinance. Analyzing the sermons can help Korean pastors navigate how to care for their congregants and school evangelization amid the cultural pressure of the ordinance.\r\n\r\n        This study utilized a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with six Korean pastors who served their congregations as part-time or full-time workers. The literature review and analysis of the six interviews focused on three key areas for sustaining a preaching ministry: the six pastors’ understandings of the Student Rights Ordinance, their preaching goals and tasks to care for the teen congregants, and sermons that share the gospel in the schools that the ordinance affects.\r\n\r\n        This study concluded that there are three necessary preaching components to care for the teen congregants and their schools in the cultural pressure of the Student Rights Ordinance: building Christian identity, obedience based on the Bible, and Christian inclusiveness of others. This study explored the pastors’ perspectives and found that they welcomed the spirit of human dignity that the ordinance describes. However, they were concerned by tendencies to support the self-absorbed exercise of rights and sexual immoralities. Although each of the pastors used different preaching styles, fitting their personal values and beliefs, all of them sought faithful transformation and obedience to God’s Word. While considering the pastors’ preaching goals and values, this study identified the motivations and practices which contribute to care for the teen congregants and schools that are influenced by the Student Rights Ordinance.\r\n"],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"related_url_tesim":["https://www.covenantlibrary.org/etd/2022/Kim_Sunghyun_DMin_2022.pdf"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"_version_":1817475330732982272,"timestamp":"2024-12-04T02:32:23.621Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:27:16Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:27:17Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"63a4559d-7d96-4597-89cc-58bfbf3a23e6","accessControl_ssim":["e744ed56-e301-447f-80f8-b160383a330f"],"depositor_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"title_tesim":["Ministry in austerity : how navy chaplains minister and lead in amphibious warfare"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:27:16Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:27:16Z","isPartOf_ssim":["admin_set/default"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["1a1ba0b3-842e-49cc-9498-298a7444835b"],"hasLease_ssim":["968d93d2-a4c5-4127-9528-bd4b23aad2a2"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Covenant Theological Seminary"],"year_tesim":["2022"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

These core capabilities have been well developed by chaplains through years of seminary, pastoral experience and the rigors of military chaplaincy. Historical literature as well as first-hand accounts examining the role of chaplains in the Pacific during WWII provide promising models for the praxis of a Navy chaplain’s ministry for a future conflict occurring in an archipelago. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand how Navy chaplains prepare and lead combatants for amphibious warfare using the experiences and insights of Navy chaplains to identify the principles, execution, challenges and assessment of ministry in amphibious warfare.  \r\n\r\nThe findings of this study were first that the core competencies of the Navy Chaplain Corps provided a basic model of ministry. In executing their ministry to combatants three common principles were revealed: presence, reconciliation and worship. Second, Navy chaplains possessed clear understanding of the military mission enabling them to deliver care in austere circumstances. Often this was at their own expense of spiritual, mental and physical health. Finally, Navy chaplains possessed a subjective view of leadership but each possessed a strong personal conviction to exercise ethical and moral leadership within their commands. \r\n\r\nThis study provided three primary conclusions about preparing and leading combatants in amphibious warfare. First, chaplains should be oriented to the ministry models exercised by Navy chaplains in the PAC theatre of WWII. Second, further in-depth training based on the ministry models of the PAC theatre should be implemented for deploying chaplains. Third, chaplains should be adequately equipped to lead and minister in an environment inclusive of protracted trauma and death.

Proverbs","Hebrew poetry, Biblical","Reader-response criticism","Criticism, interpretation, etc"],"abstract_tesim":["Proverbs 31:1-9 is often interpreted as if readers’ interpretive process does not contribute meaningfully to its pedagogy. Launching from recent work by Anne Stewart and Suzanna Millar (including leveraging of high-level cognitive linguistics theories), this study tested the hypothesis that the readerly process for 31:1-9— participating in its poetry and navigating its many hermeneutic difficulties—does contribute significantly to its pedagogy. \r\n\r\nStandard exegetical and literary methods enabled close reading of 31:1-9 attentive to temporal readerly interpretation through two sequential readings by an imagined early canonical readership. Readerly engagement in the unit’s poetry was traced at multiple points per verse using three dynamics adapted from Millar: openness/closure, resonance/dissonance, and trust/scrutiny. Qualitative measurements were graphed and discussed.\r\n\r\nThe readerly process of 31:1-9 was found to be undulating and complex, and its pedagogy richly multi-faceted. The inferred pedagogy for canonical readers certainly includes what mainstream scholarship discerns: leaders must reject indulgent living and advocate for the poor. Yet considering the interpretive process uncovered more: a poetic pedagogy designed to shape the whole person toward right living within God’s covenant. The text’s interpretive challenges were seen to propel readers deep into the unit’s text, Proverbs, and the canon, leading to key framing contexts, e.g., 1 Samuel 1-4, Psalm 2, and Proverbs 9. Relevance theory suggests the text’s persistent ambiguity reflects second-order communication (showing versus telling) designed to engage the imagination of God’s people, calling them to remember, trust in His coming deliverance, and reflect His character in consecrated living. The interpretive process developed discernment, uncovering calls of hope and warning. Such showing suggests an intended sense of the difficult משא (31:1) as ‘oracle’, inviting rereading with a hermeneutic appropriate to prophetic material.\r\n\r\nThe tested hypothesis was determined as confirmed: the canonical readerly interpretive process does contribute meaningfully to the poetic pedagogy of Proverbs 31:1-9."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"related_url_tesim":["https://www.covenantlibrary.org/etd/2022/Tatko_Victoria_MAET_2022.pdf"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"_version_":1817474575114436608,"timestamp":"2024-12-04T02:20:23.007Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:14:07Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:14:08Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"177919a8-25c3-4a60-aff0-ecb48a5c36f6","accessControl_ssim":["87d63362-69e9-4fbe-98d9-6d97f9162f31"],"depositor_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"title_tesim":["The Christology and ethics of the brothers of Jesus"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:14:06Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:14:06Z","isPartOf_ssim":["admin_set/default"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["85609df2-148b-48d5-a560-c3c66c5968fb"],"hasLease_ssim":["0bdbd81c-9031-4991-abee-124d1c224b98"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Master of Theology"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Covenant Theological Seminary"],"year_tesim":["2022"],"resource_type_tesim":["Thesis"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Tollison, Wm.

This thesis contends that James and Jude built their ethical appeals on an assumed, apostolic theology generated by the resurrection, which included a high Christology and an expectant eschatology. As the watershed, foundational event in the early church, the resurrection prompted massive and widespread shifts in the apostles’ Christological comprehension, ethical construction, and exegetical methods. Rather than leaving James and Jude in the unintelligible backwaters of the NT, this thesis shows that these brothers of Jesus were not only aligned with the apostolic theology behind all of the NT documents but were also influential in its formation and application.

These research questions used were (1) What parenting practices concerning involvement in the church do grown children of lead pastors describe as helpful during their teenage years? (2) What hospitality practices do they describe as helpful during their teenage years? (3) What approaches to the ministry do they describe as helpful during their teenage years? (4) What changes in parenting practices do they describe as helpful during their teenage years?\r\n\r\nThe findings of the research were that clergy members who parented by being intentional in prioritizing family, who engaged their children at life transitions, and who effectively taught their children the doctrines of the faith as a reflection of their own character and walk with God were effective in parenting their children.

I will do this first by learning how characters are created and developed in Old Testament narrative through descriptions, dialogue, actions, comparisons, and value statements. Then we will apply these principles to see how Joseph is progressively characterized throughout his story. Secondly, I will examine two specific texts that Joseph’s detractors use as evidence of ill-will. Those are his introduction and the dream narrative in 37:1-11, and key passages from the testing of his brothers in 42-45. My goal in examining these texts is to see if  there is in fact clear evidence of ill-will, or if there may even be evidence of goodwill. The goal is to examine more critically the negative assumptions often made about his character to see if these assumptions have merit.
