Are Bare Particulars Constituents?
No full textIn this article I examine an as yet unexplored aspect of J.P. Moreland’s defense of so-called bare particularism — the ontological theory according to which ordinary concrete particulars (e.g., Socrates) contain bare particulars as individuating constituents and property ‘hubs.’ I begin with the observation that
if there is a constituency relation obtaining between Socrates and his bare particular, it must be an internal relation, in which case the natures of the relata will necessitate the relation. I then distinguish various ways in which a bare particular might be thought to have a nature and show that on none of these is it possible for a bare particular to be a constituent of a complex particular. Thus, Moreland’s attempt to resurrect bare particulars as ontologically indispensable entities is not wholly without difficulties.395-410Accepted manuscript is not available for uploading to the TDC repositoryFor AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected]
A Formational Process to Help Ministry Leaders Engage in Inner Work
No full textBibliography: leaves 192-203Engagement in inner work is important for ministry leaders because there is relationship between the development of the inner person and the exercise of leadership in the public arena. This research project facilitates the engagement of inner work on the part of the Christian leader using a formational process that includes one-on-one spiritual direction meetings, group meetings, and classroom lectures. The process is guided by a biblically and theologically grounded model that consists of four domains: attention to God image, self-identity, spiritual practices, and ministry/leadership development. The findings demonstrate that engagement in inner work can facilitate a deeper relationship with God that will sustain leaders in their ministry. The research lends support to the importance of inner work in facilitating the spiritual life of the leader.Thesis (D.

'His Mercy is Over all His Works': John Wesley's Mature Vision of New Creation
No full textFor much of his life, John Wesley accepted common Christian assumptions regarding final salvation as a state of spiritual rest in paradise. Late in life, however, he rejected these assumptions, as “the new creation” became a dominant theme in his theology. Wesley’s mature eschatological vision thus shifted from a hope for spiritual rest to a dynamic vision of redeemed humanity living in a transformed, but still-physical new earth, complete with animal life. This paper explores “the new creation” as a theme in Wesley’s mature thought, through a close reading of sermons published in the last decade of his life. The topic is addressed under four headings: 1) Wesley’s speculations about the place of animals in redemption; 2) his understanding of the “image of God” and humanity’s relationship to the rest of creation; 3) the connection between Wesley’s vision of the new creation and the question of creation stewardship in the present life; 4) the way that the new creation functioned as an aspect of Wesley’s theodicy. While some of Wesley’s specific speculations concerning the new creation might not be of enduring value, this paper will argue that the overall shape and direction of his mature eschatology remains a compelling model for contemporary evangelicalism.45-56For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected]

Developing and Evaluating the Transformative Capacities Model to Cultivate Awareness and Facilitate Practices of Faithful Presence at Mount Hamilton Baptist Church
No full textBibliography: leaves 163-165This research project introduces and develops a spiritual transformation model called the Transformative Capacities Model. The heuristic model was developed using the methodology of action research at Mount Hamilton Baptist Church to cultivate awareness and facilitate practices of faithful presence. The model is based on teachings from the Epistle of James and the life of Jesus and utilizes insights from the David Kolb's experiential learning paradigm. The model identifies spiritual transformation as an initiative of God involving the human response of word and deed. Four transformative practices are identified: listening, discerning, acting and resting. According to this model the goal or telos of spiritual transformation is faithful presence. The model was field tested by using four participation groups. Groups gathered to study scripture, pray, reflect and dialogue. Data collection tools included: a questionnaire, interviews, journal logs, and an evaluation tool. The results indicated that participants desired spiritual transformation and were particularly interested in developing their practices of listening and resting. This project demonstrates that the Transformative Capacities Model has the potential to be an effective way to cultivate awareness and facilitate practices of spiritual transformation.Thesis (D.

Layman’s Lapse: On an Incomplete Moral Argument for Theism
No full textC. Stephen Layman contends that an argument supporting theism over naturalism can be constructed based on three defensible, non–question-begging premises about the moral order. Previous critics of Layman’s argument have challenged the truth of these premises. We stipulate
them arguendo but go on to show that there is a deeper problem: a fourth premise introduced to complete the argument—the “completion premise,” as we call it—is true only if we assume that God exists (begging the question about naturalism) or we concede that there is no afterlife
(contrary to theism). We close with suggestions for how Layman’s argument must be strengthened to meet with dialectical success.170-179For AODA accommodation, including help with reading this content, please contact [email protected] Manuscrip
