A Matter of Life and Death: The Conceptualization and Theological Significance of Blood in the Pentateuch
Get PDFThis 2024 Master of Theological Studies thesis at Lipscomb University analyzes the conceptualization and theological significance of blood within the Pentateuch. While the thesis does attend to various anthropological concerns (i.e., the sociocultural understandings of blood that inform the text), it is more chiefly concerned with how such understandings of blood contribute to the broader theology of the Pentateuch. Using a canonical interpretive approach that respects both the diachronic nature of the text and the theological unity intended by its final redactors, the thesis primarily explores the two principal contexts in which blood appears in the Pentateuch: Israel’s cultus and instances of bloodshed. Because of the complexity of the sacrificial system and the centrality of blood within it, the cultus is accorded an exceptional degree of attention.
Chapter 1 introduces the thesis topic, clarifies the goals of the study, and describes the general methodological approach of the study. Chapter 2 provides an introduction to the priestly system and a methodology for interpreting cultic rituals. This information is then used to determine the meaning of sacrifice, blood manipulation, and atonement in the Pentateuch. Chapter 3 considers the nature of bloodshed in light of creation theology, and examines the theological implications of the various homicide and asylum laws given throughout the Pentateuch. Chapter 4 offers a summative review and provides practical theological application

Unveiling Parkinson’s: Empowering Our Community Through Awareness
Get PDFAwareness about situations or conditions has brought many changes to public policy, treatment methods, and community engagement, to name just a few. Awareness also creates a culture of “seeing” people who may feel unseen or dismissed. One particular group that may feel this way are people with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily resulting from a decrease in dopamine levels. This decrease in dopamine can lead to deficiencies in motor control and cognitive function that can include slow and uncoordinated movement, loss of balance, loss of smell, and decreased cognitive function1. The implementation of a community awareness event can serve to educate and inform community influencers about this population. In 2022 the first “Walk a Mile in my (Parkinson’s) Shoes” event was established. The goal of the event was and is to create awareness, understanding and empathy for those who have PD. Influential individuals within the surrounding community are invited to spend the morning experiencing what it means to Walk a mile in my (Parkinson’s) shoes. This experience involves being given the opportunity to learn about PD and participate in a variety of activities that simulate living with PD. The purpose of this presentation will be to elaborate on how and why this event was established, discuss some of the outcomes from the 2023 event, and hopefully inspire the audience to unveil the groups in our community that need to be seen
