From temple to house-church in Luke-Acts: a Lukan challenge to Korean Christianity
No full textThis dissertation examines the portrayals of the Temple, synagogue, and
house-churches in Luke-Acts to pose a Lukan challenge to the Korean church by using
a model of architectural space which is derived from social-scientific ideas originating
in anthropology, sociology and social psychology. The dissertation proposes the
relevance of the Lukan house-church to the Korean church today so as to transform
the latter's character in its architecture and use of space into the inclusive and
missionary one which is featured in Luke-Acts. The argument of the dissertation
begins with an exploration and defence of social-scientific method (Chapter 1).
Chapter 2 begins with a history and analysis of Korean Christianity which raises
problem surrounding its use of architectural space, before setting out a socialscientific
model of architectural space, which is then applied to contemporary Korean
church architecture. Challenging current understandings of a positive Lukan attitude
toward the Temple, this study proposes in Chapter 3 that Luke had a negative
understanding of the Temple in that it was an oppressive institution characterised by
segmented spaces which divided the people of God and thus showed its illegitimacy in
relation to the saving plan of God in Jesus. The dissertation next proposes in Chapter
4 that first-century synagogues were subsidiary Temple spaces which were extended
to most parts of Mediterranean world from the central sanctuary in Jerusalem, and that
Luke portrays the synagogues as similar to the Temple. Contrary to the Temple and
synagogue, the house in Luke-Acts expresses the inclusive salvation of the gospel
which incorporates a variety of people regardless of social status, gender, age and
ethnic origin (Chapter 5). In this interpretation, the house-church is represented as an
inclusive space accessible without institutional constraints. In the Gospel, it serves to
express the Kingdom of God into which sinners are invited to enter through meals and
to be incorporated into a fictive-kinship group created by Jesus. In Acts, the house is
not only a locus of Christian meetings in which the social relationships, characteristic
of family, are practised to enhance and legitimise the social identity of Jesus'
followers, but also the modus operandi of Christian mission through which the Christ-movement
spreads throughout the Mediterranean world. This study concludes with an
Epilogue containing brief suggestions for changes in Korean church architecture and
use of space based on these Lukan insights, which have the potential radically to
transform Korean Protestant Christianity

A Curricular Needs Assessment Of Carroll College's Public Relations Program: Advancement Towards The 21st Century
No full textAs the public relations (PR) profession grows in today's work force, the issue of PR education generates controversy among both PR practitioners and educators. In the following pages, a collection of information regarding PR education is presented. The intent is that the research provided in this thesis will be used to revise Carroll College's current PR program, enabling it to meet the needs of 21st century PR students, educators, and practitioners. In Chapter I, the author first defines both PR and PR education, and explains specific reasons for discussing PR education at this time. This is followed by a comprehensive review of contemporary research on PR education. This section examines several issues in PR education: the preprofessional debate; the roles and expectations of PR practitioners; the appropriate academic department for the PR major; the roles and limitations of PR educators; and specific suggestions for change in PR curricula.
Chapter II explains and addresses Carroll's present PR program, in light of the research and suggestions presented in Chapter I. This chapter includes background information on the program, as well as an explanation of Carroll's current requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in PR. The chapter includes a synopsis of a survey of 13 junior and senior PR students at Carroll. These students evaluated each course in the Carroll PR program and the program as a whole. Chapter III is a proposal for change in Carroll's PR program. The recommendations in this chapter are based on the information presented and the suggestions offered in Chapters I and II. In this final chapter, the author first offers an interpretation of the student survey presented in Chapter II. The bulk of this chapter, though, is comprised of a five-year, three-phase proposal for the transformation of Carroll's current PR program. The author proposes a PR program that is conducive to Carroll's specialized needs and abilities as a private, liberal arts institution.As the public relations (PR) profession grows in today's work force, the issue of PR education generates controversy among both PR practitioners and educators.

The Tradition of restoration: An examination of the Motifs of Israel's re-gathering and the fate of the nations in early Jewish literature and Luke-Acts
No full textThis thesis identifies and examines the tradition of restoration. Particular attention is given to its expression in—what is identified in the present study—as the exilic model of restoration. This model provided one framework through which Jews in the Greco- Roman period could express their dilemmas as well as their hopes and ideas of the future. This particular expression of Israel's restoration is characterized by the features of Israel’s re-gathering, the fate of the nations/enemies, and the establishment of a new Temple. The present study focuses primarily on the first two features (i.e., the re- gathering of Israel and the fate of Israel's enemies) of the exilic model of restoration. The features are identified in a wide number of early Jewish documents and examined for their interpretation. In Chapter One, we examine and submit to critique the most important scholarly work on the use of the pattern of 'exile and return' in early Jewish ideas of restoration. In Chapter Two (The Re-gathering of Israel) we identify and discuss various early Jewish sources that represent the diverse interpretations given to the motif of Israel's eschatological return. In Chapter Three (The Defeat of Israel's Enemies), we examine a number of early Jewish documents that represent the variety of interpretations and emphases given to the hope for the defeat of Israel's adversaries. In Chapter Four (The Restoration of Israel in Luke-Acts), we explore the influence of these early Jewish ideas of restoration on the self-identity and hopes of a formative Christian community
