Our Savior and King: Theology proper in 1 Timothy
No full textIn this dissertation the author seeks to present a holistic theology proper (hereafter, simply "theology") for the first epistle to Timothy, with special regard to the letter's doxologies (King) and divine title, Savior. Chapter 1 identifies the problem, includes a history of research, and describes the method and procedure of the dissertation. The method of inquiry consists of determining the meaning and function of the letter's theology. Thus, the author seeks to understand the background and character of 1 Timothy's theology, while also wishing to discern why the author of 1 Timothy chose to emphasize these peculiar theological themes.
Chapter 2 explores the meaning and function of the theological descriptions found in the doxologies of 1 Timothy 1:17 and 6:15-16. By thorough comparison to Greco-Roman, early Jewish, and OT literature, the author suggests a basically OT-informed view of God. The doxologies depict God as the only Sovereign who rules over all. The writer then determines that the doxologies function as a support and encouragement for Timothy to heed Paul's charge. This conclusion is largely based on the positioning of the doxologies and the macrostructure of the letter.
Chapter 3 examines the meaning and function of the divine epithet Savior. After comparing this term to its occurrences in Greco-Roman, early Jewish, and OT literature, the author again favors an OT background for Savior. This term depicts God as one who mercifully and indiscriminately reconciles sinners who trust in Christ. While also recognizing other functions, the author suggests that God as Savior may have been aimed at the primary implied reader, Timothy, as well. Accordingly, the idea of Savior informs and strengthens Timothy, so that he might continue to labor in presenting the life-giving gospel of God.
Chapter 4 considers every remaining theological description in 1 Timothy, as well as themes that significantly relate to the letter's theology, such as Christology. The author suggests that the entire theology of 1 Timothy either coheres with or supports the predominant ideas of God as King and Savior.
Chapter 5 summarizes the dissertation's findings and concludes with suggested implications for NT studies
Christian Love and the Imitation of Christ in the Epistle to Diognetus: A Second-Century Example of Christian Discipleship
Get PDFABSTRACT
CHRISTIAN LOVE AND THE IMITATION OF CHRIST IN
THE EPISTLE TO DIOGNETUS: A SECOND-CENTURY
EXAMPLE OF CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP
Charles Theodore Mielke IV, Ed.D.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2017
Chair: Dr. Timothy Paul Jones
The Epistle to Diognetus is an early church writing that offers an excellent
picture of the Christian life, as well as deficiencies of other religions. In the text, the
author illustrates the nature of God’s love. As he comes to the climactic point in the text,
he also offers a call for action on the recipient of the letter. This call is to imitate God; but
not just a generalized concept of God, specifically God’s love. This invitation to imitate
God, along with the detailed expression of his love offers a clear image of a true
committed disciple in the middle second century. Along with expounding upon the nature
of God’s love and how to imitate this characteristic, strong connections are drawn
between the text of Diognetus and the writings of the New Testament. These connections
provide support for continuity of thought between the unknown author of Diognetus, and
the New Testament writers

Evaluating Research Impact through Open Access to Scholarly Communication
Get PDFScientific research is a competitive business – in order to secure funding, promotion and tenure researchers must demonstrate their work has impact in their field. To maximise impact researchers undertake high priority research, aim to get results first, and publish in the highest impact journals. The Internet now presents a new opportunity to the scholarly author seeking higher impact: s/he can now make their work instantly accessible on the Web through author self-archiving. This growing body of open access literature (coupled with new publishing models that make journals available for-free to the reader) maximises research impact by maximising the number of people who can read it, and making it available sooner. Open access also provides a new opportunity for bibliometric research. This thesis describes the relatively recent phenomenon of open access to research literature, tools that were built to collect and analyse that literature, and the results of analyses of the effect of open access and its effect on author behaviour. It shows that articles self-archived by authors receive between 50-250% more citations, that rapid pre-printing on the Web has dramatically reduced the peak citation rate from over a year to virtually instant and how citation-impact – now widely used for evaluation – can be expanded to include a new web metric of download impact
