Embedding Mental Health Tools in Class Design in Higher Education
No full textMental health skills are vital for students to remain engaged in class content and support retention. Including mental health, skills do not have to be difficult, and educators are likely already practicing supportive responses that can be expanded on. This presentation will provide simple approaches to help build emotional literacy at all levels of education. Brief examples of how an activity might be adapted or utilized in classes or adapted for diverse ages and resource recommendations will be provided within this 30-minute presentation

The Body of Christ and the Law: A Comparative Study of Romans 7:4 and Galatians 2:19
Get PDFIn Romans and Galatians, Paul refers to a spiritual death to sin (Rom 6:2) and to the law (Rom 7:4; Gal 2:19). As the means of the believer\u27s death to the law, Paul mentions the body of Christ in Rom 7:4 and the law in Gal 2:19. These verses seem to suggest some sort of relationship between the body of Christ and the law, as well as between the law and sin. The purpose of this study is to determine the type of relationship between the body of Christ and the law, as well as between law and sin. The study consists of a survey of non-Jewish, Greco-Roman literature, and Jewish literature (Hebrew Bible and Second Temple literature) along with exegetical and theological analyses of relevant Pauline passages.
The study argues that the believer\u27s death to sin (Rom 6:2) is spiritual in nature, consisting of a change in rulership. The believer\u27s death to sin terminates the rule of sin but does not do away with sin’s existence in the believer\u27s life. Furthermore, the believer\u27s death to sin has soteriological significance; therefore it cannot be metaphorical. The believer\u27s death to the law (Rom 7:4; Gal 2:19) is also spiritual, consisting of liberation from condemnation to death through the law of sin. The law of sin is the law of God, embodied in sinful human beings, which condemns them to death. The condemnation through the law of sin depends on rulership. The believer\u27s death to the law of sin terminates the believer\u27s condemnation to death, but not the existence of the law of sin in the believer\u27s life. Regarding the means of the believer\u27s death to the law, the body of Christ (Rom 7:4) refers to the crucified and resurrected body of Christ and through the law (Gal 2:19) refers to the law of God embodied in Christ, which enables the believer to live to God. In Rom 7:4, the believer experiences liberation from the law of sin by participation in the crucified and resurrected body of Christ. Similarly, in Gal 2:19, the believer also experiences liberation from the same law of sin by participation in the law of God embodied in Christ. Christ’s fulfillment of the law of God enables the believer\u27s righteous status and liberation from condemnation to death. Both means of redemption—the crucified and resurrected body of Christ (Rom 7:4) and the law of God embodied in Christ (Gal 2:19)—centers in Christ\u27s death on the cross

A Culture of Magic in Ancient Egypt and Its Impact on Ancient Israel
Get PDFProblem
The relationship between Egypt and the Levant spans thousands of years, resulting in many cultural exchanges. Of Egypt’s cultural influences in the Levant, magic has been the least studied. Therefore, this thesis is an introductory study that will present the influence of Egyptian magic in ancient Israel. The corpus of magical artifacts recovered from Israelite sites comes from the Iron Age.
Method
This thesis intends to be a comparative study of the understanding of magic among the Egyptians and Israelites by analyzing biblical texts and ritual objects recorded in the archaeological record. The main methodology used to conduct this research is iii qualitative analysis. A qualitative approach is the best methodology for this type of research because of its exploitative nature. Additionally, within this qualitative approach, I have also used other methods, such as documentary and reviewed literature, to explore the understanding of the purpose, practitioners, and objects of magic in ancient Egypt and Israel to trace parallels between them.
Result
Many magical practices in ancient Israel originated in regions other than Ancient Egypt. However, the Greatest influence of Egyptian magic can be observed in the use of magic symbols and amulets from elite society and “Folk Religion ” among the general population.
Conclusion
This thesis concludes that the best evidence scholars have for tracing the influence of Egyptian magic in ancient Israel is the use of Egyptian and Egyptianized symbols in royal iconography to illustrate the protective power of YHWH. Additionally, using Egyptian and Egyptianized amulets in a domestic and funerary context in folk religion illustrated that the owners utilized the objects for their apotropaic function
