Enstrophy and kinetic energy data from 3D Taylor-Green vortex simulations
No full textEnstrophy and kinetic energy data from four 3D Taylor-Green vortex simulations, using uniform grids of 64^3, 128^3, 256^3, and 512^3 solution points. The simulations were performed using the OpenSBLI code developed at the University of Southampton.

Oral history interview with Christopher Jacobs
No full textAbstract provided by interviewer Kendyll Jacobs.
Christopher Jacobs attended Abilene Christian University from 2000 to 2004 and graduated with a degree in Marketing. Abilene Christian University is a school known for its affiliation with the Church of Christ and its theology, as well as for its tightly knit community and high-quality educators. In this interview, Christopher describes the many opportunities he was given in leadership, career development and unique experiences through ACU, as well as the general culture on campus during that time. He explains how his college generation was one of transition in many ways: due to the expansion of technology, significant opening up of career opportunities for women, and development in the Church of Christ belief system; but simultaneously, brings up issues with the culture of ACU, like the lack women in true positions of leadership, as well as the almost non-existent conversation of sexuality and inclusion of the LGBTQ community. Overall, Christopher says he learned to think outside the box of the Church of Christ worldview, read and interpret the Bible for himself, and undo some of the stereotypes he had simply accepted, after he graduated from the university; and he encourages current students to be aware of this and pursue to learn all of this while they are here inside the ACU bubble

Towards a Christian Philosophy
No full textAuthor did not sign the LAC Non-Exclusive License form.The relationship between philosophy and Christianity has, of course, a long history, as do the discussions of that relationship. My own position is not dissimilar to that of many of the early Church Fathers, though of course that position must be elaborated differently for various historical and personal reasons, and hopefully enriched by attention to the history of Western philosophy. As with all such relations, one's understanding of this relation has a lot to do with one's understanding of the terms involved. To promote the possibility of "Christian philosophy" is also to comment on that "and" which might be understood to relate two otherwise distinct and irreconcilable terms. In the end I claim this "and" must be understood as that "love" which defines philosophy as the "love of wisdom" (and finally, the wisdom of love), and does so in terms which (almost) merge-with the surprising assistance of such thinkers as Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, and Paul Ricoeur-with those of the Church Fathers cited. On the one hand, I intend nothing but the historical, orthodox, and catholic understanding of Christianity, especially with regard to the central figure of Jesus the Christ, the Trinitarian God whom He embodies, represents, and reveals, and the Scriptures given as The Bible. On the other hand, I present the specifically philosophical pertinence of this unique Person as such emerges from the texts of the "philosophers" considered, and in a manner which I claim does not force the issue by reading into their texts what is not there. Attending to a (Christian) philosophical reflection on (Christian) philosophy also offers elaborations of inherited doctrines, both Christian and philosophical, including a way to read and think unique to the outcome. Such is the adventure of this current work

The Christian Right and US Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century
No full textThe thesis discusses the role of the Christian Right in the US foreign policy decision making process. The research revealed that the Christian Right has long been fascinated with some international issues in general and US foreign policy in particular. The Christian Right’s interest in international issues increased markedly during years of the George W. Bush presidency. It successfully widened its activities from domestic social conservative issues to foreign policy issues by participating in, articulating and lobbying for its religious version of American foreign policy. In assessing the role of the Christian Right in US foreign policy making, this dissertation examines three aspects of US foreign policy, namely Israel, international religious freedom and global humanitarianism. Based on these aspects, the Christian Right is seen as skilled in framing and defining issues. The Christian Right seems effective in selecting and prioritizing international issues that have a reasonable chance of being selected by foreign policy decision makers, especially in Congress. Moreover, the Christian Right has shown its maturity in seeking engagement and cooperation with other organizations, secular and religious, in order to advance its international goals. Finally, in pursuing and conveying its international agenda, the Christian Right has adopted a more moderate and less overtly religious approach. Instead of using its traditional religious rhetoric, the Christian Right has successfully projected its foreign policy preferences into the conventional realist discourse of American foreign policy that is largely based on the objective of national interest and national security. Nevertheless, this study does not, in any way, conclude that the Christian Right was able to influence or determine the direction of US foreign policy and its outcomes; however, it does suggest that the Christian Right did contribute and have an impact on the formulation of some US foreign policy. As such, the research contends that the role of the Christian Right is similar to other interest group lobbies and that its perceived influence on US foreign policy should not be exaggerated. Finally, the research suggests that the emergence of the Christian Right as an actor in asserting its global agenda through US foreign policy can possibly provide an example of how religious beliefs and values can become a potential source of “soft power”. Together with the “climate of opinion” of the American public during the Bush administration, the “soft power” at domestic level could serve as a valuable new explanatory variable in understanding how the US foreign policy was formulated in the early 21st century
Sabbath, Psalms and Eucharist: Christopher Southgate considers Christian perspectives on the climate emergency
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Green Christian via the URL in this record In this brief article I want to explore what resources Christian thought might offer the
climate emergency, and those challenged by the slowness with which the generation
with the power (my own) are addressing the huge challenges that are ever more

Dare We Call it a Christian Business Division?
No full textThe author in this article explores the question: What, if anything, distinguishes a Christian business program from a secular program? The author answers the question by suggesting some areas he believes should be distinctive. His purpose is to open up a dialogue that has not occurred at the program level, not to claim all that could be said about this topic. Most discussion has focused on the macro picture of Christian colleges or the micro picture of how one’s faith might impact how one teaches a certain discipline. The article looks at themes or emphases in business programs that aspire to describe themselves as Christian
