As It Was In The Days Of Noah
No full text25 x 23.5 cm., Pen and Ink on Cardstock. Illustration of Noah\u27s ark floating on the ocean.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. -Acts 4:12; Make thee an ark of gopher wood;--and pitch it within and without with pitch, God said to Noah. More than seventy times in the O.T. the word, here-and only here-translated pitch , is rendered atonement. How rich with meaning! It was the pitch, as it is the atonement, that excludes from God\u27s sheltered ones the waters of condemnation.-Romans 8:1; Jesus Christ Our Saviour; Waters Of Condemnation.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/ejpace-cartoons/1293/thumbnail.jp
Lost discipline of conversation : surprising lessons in spiritual formation drawn from the English Puritans
No full textRecovering Spiritual Practices of the Past titles reach beyond commonly known spiritual formation practices in order to mine the wisdom of the past, bringing to light ways of thinking, living, and growing in Christ that the church today has largely overlooked.
In The Lost Discipline of Conversation, spiritual formation professor and author Joanne Jung walks readers through the Puritan practice of conference, or focused, spiritual conversations intended to promote ongoing transformation. An antidote to privatized faith, conference calls believers to biblical literacy and soul care in a context of transparency and accountability.
Useful for believers in any sphere or ministry or stage in life, conference is ultimately a tool for nurturing mutual, godly authenticity within community.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1397/thumbnail.jp
Jonathan Edwards : an introduction to his thought
No full textJonathan Edwards (1703–1758) has long been recognized as one of the preeminent thinkers in the early Enlightenment and a major figure in the history of American Christianity. In this accessible one-volume text, leading Edwards experts Oliver Crisp and Kyle Strobel introduce readers to the fascinating and formidable mind of Jonathan Edwards as they survey key theological and philosophical themes in his thought, including his doctrine of the Trinity, his philosophical theology of God and creation, and his understanding of the atonement and salvation. More than two centuries after his death, theologians and historians alike are finding the larger-than-life Edwards more interesting than ever. Crisp and Strobel’s concise yet comprehensive guide will help students of this influential eighteenth-century revivalist preacher to understand why.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1396/thumbnail.jp
50 Years of God’s Faithfulness: The History of the Biola University Department of Nursing (1966-2016)
Get PDFUnlike many written histories, this account is not composed of a chronology of events. It is an attempt to see the history of the Biola Department of Nursing through the eyes of those who were there, and experienced events first-hand. God’s faithfulness is shown through the leaders who had vision and drive, the faculty who taught, the students who attended, and the resources provided. God has been faithful to bring the department through several crises, which could have caused its demise. He has been faithful in the many opportunities given through the ministry of nursing to reach beyond the Biola campus, and to impact the world for Christ.
Between the two authors, Anne Gewe and Becky Fleeger, the full 50 years from 1966 to 2016 were experienced. They lived the history and interacted with the individuals whose stories are told. Many interviews have been done, in addition to mining accreditation reports, faculty minutes, articles from the student newspaper, the Chimes, and other Biola documents to substantiate the memories. When all was completed, the authors found the story to be very similar to a quotation by Florence Nightingale, which can be seen on the wall outside of the nursing skills lab in the Alton and Lydia Lim Center for Science, Technology, and Health.
If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do in His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all and I nothing.
It is hoped that the reader will be able to see real people, ordinary people, people who have been led by God to accomplish his work. God has been faithful through these 50 years, and he will continue to be faithful to the nursing program in the future. Great is his faithfulness

Foregrounding Women in the Doctoral Classroom: Mainstreaming and Single-Sex Approaches to Graduate Education
No full textAn increasing number of published studies have drawn attention to gender disparities in various dimensions of Christian higher education. Although the majority of students on the campuses of member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) are women, and the percentage of women holding faculty and administrative roles has increased, the male-normed environment of the academy continues to be evident in various ways, particularly in these Christian institutions. At the same time, higher education--and doctoral education in particular--is an important pathway to prepare future leaders and professors for Christian organizations. One potential way to begin to shift toward a more welcoming climate that benefits both men and women on CCCU campuses is to foreground, or make central, women\u27s issues and concerns as part of regular classroom teaching. Such foregrounding can help counter the historic tendency to treat men\u27s experience and concerns as normative for the human race. In the discipline of missiology, women make up the bulk of the practitioners yet are underrepresented as scholars, making it a pertinent field to challenge the neglect of women\u27s voices and concerns in the academy. This article describes how a missiology classroom has been used to create a climate where women have opportunities to be central and where women\u27s perspectives are treated as equally important as men\u27s perspectives. To do this, I used three key practices: intentionally addressing gendered topics in mixed classes, offering selected singlesex education opportunities for women, and focusing on gender-related topics for research and publication. Using the discipline of missiology as a case study in relation to the importance of giving women\u27s contributions to the field both recognition and voice may also offer transferable insights for doctoral faculty in other disciplines

Humility and a Repentance of Self-Loathing
No full textJason Miller, Adjunct Professor at Talbot School of Theology, shares about humility and repenting from self-loathing during this Torrey Conference breakout session on October 10, 2018.
As Christians, we are taught to be humble. However, we are told to be humble; many of use do not actually understand what humble truly means. Jason Miller called us to live our lives in humility, explaining what it is to be humble in the true sense of the word.
Jason Miller explains to us that the reason we so often fall into a place of self-loathing when we are trying to rebuke pride in our lives is that we have been taught humility is lowering ourselves, humility is generally defined as a lack of pride
