A Depth Psychology Reading of Exodus
No full textIn this fascinating episode, Oliver and Ante discuss the importance of Eugen Drewermann, a leading 20th-century theologian, particularly his integration of exegesis and depth psychology.

Predictors of Spiritual Struggle: Exploring the Role of Trauma Exposure, Resilience, and Religious Behaviors among Religiously Affiliated University Students
Get PDFThis study examined how exposure to traumatic experiences, protective factors such as Psychological Body Armor (TM) (PBA), physical wellness behaviors, and religious practices predict spiritual struggle among students attending a religiously affiliated university. Preliminary findings revealed that PBA, non-class assigned Bible and Christian literature readings were predictive of reduced spiritual struggle

Pardoned and Perfect: A Comparative Study of the Soteriology of John Wesley and Ellen White
Get PDFProblem
Since the 1970s, there has been an ongoing discussion about the extent to which Ellen White’s soteriology reflected or was influenced by John Wesley’s soteriology. The result has been a general lack of consensus. This study attempted to clearly delineate Wesley’s and White’s soteriological systems and distinguish them from various theological phenomena within American Methodism.
Method
The research for this thesis was predominantly drawn from primary source material which was organized chronologically in order to allow for the natural development of thought and ideas over time. The theological contexts of Wesley and White were explored and connected by an overview of American Methodism.
Conclusions
The comparative study demonstrated that John Wesley’s and Ellen White’s soteriological systems were essentially identical in the following four areas: the conceptualization of justification, the degree to which sanctification was emphasized, the acknowledgment of a progressive aspect to sanctification alongside distinct stages of Christian growth, and the affirmation that sanctification is the highest stage a Christian can reach. While John Wesley and Ellen White were shown to share distinct commonalities, however, Ellen White went beyond John Wesley’s articulation of perfection by emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit
Sign-a-mander: A Mobile App That Enhances ASL Learning with Computer Vision
Get PDFSeveral machine learning researchers have developed algorithms recognizing American Sign Language (ASL), but few have applied the algorithms to real-world situations, such as with portable ASL learning applications. This project develops a beta version of a mobile application designed to allow beginner ASL learners to practice basic ASL vocabulary and receive feedback about their signing accuracy. Building on Dongxu Li et al.’s I3D sign language recognition algorithm and 2000-word dataset, the app seeks to determine whether the I3D algorithm can sufficiently recognize a user’s motions when recorded from a mobile device and accurately classify whether or not the user signed correctly. My repository for the machine learning portion of this project, forked from Li et al.’s WLASL repository, is available at https://qithub.com/sandrineadap/WLASLR-cloned, and a video to demonstrate the progress of the mobile app can be found in the repository’s README file
