Steven Bryant’s Solace: a conductor’s analysis and performance guide
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine Solace, a musical composition for wind ensemble, by Steven Bryant composed for the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Wind Ensemble and premiered at the 2013 College Band Directors National Association National Conference. Through a conductor's analysis and performance guide, the author provided insight and background knowledge to all future performers and interpreters of the work through unique first hand accounts from commission to premiere performance. The research method included three processes: 1. A detailed analysis of the musical score, 2. The observation of rehearsals and recording sessions during preparation for the premiere performance of Solace by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Wind Ensemble, Kevin M. Geraldi, conductor, 3. Extensive interviews of Steven Bryant, composer and Kevin M. Geraldi, conductor. Through examination of prior research on electro-acoustic works for wind ensemble, the author examined Solace within those constructs. Because of the blurring of lines between electronics and acoustic sound, the author further identified Solace as a unique musical composition within the electro-acoustic genre

Agapē-Centered Epistemology: Christian Life in the Master Story
No full text The purpose of the following is to construct a theological epistemology from analytic religious epistemology and Christian theology. Paul K. Moser's religious epistemology provides an evidentialist account of volitional epistemology centered in agapē. Philippians 2:5-11 and its biblical-theological context grounds the historic and eschatological life of Jesus as the basis and means to participate in agapē. Moser's epistemological framework is reconstructed with the master story to provide a setting for Kingdom practices and imaginary. I argue that knowing the Triune God through agapē centers Kingdom participation. Christians imitate the master story in Philippians 2:5-11 to cultivate agapē through Kingdom participation.ThesisMaster of Theological Studies (MTS
"When Freedom is Close": Jürgen Moltmann's Use of Contradiction in his Trilogy
No full text Jürgen Moltmann's trilogy-Theology of Hope, The Crucified God, and The Church in the Power of the Spirit-is pervaded by the concept of "contradiction." Secondary literature commonly alludes to his theology of contradiction, describing his theology as "dialectical," but the literature rarely analyzes it comprehensively. This thesis seeks to fill this lack. It argues that in Moltmann's trilogy God creates and fosters in the world three different types of contradiction (objective, subjective and active) through three different means (God's promises, his crucifixion, and the work of his Spirit in and through the Church) in order to accomplish his purposes. The inductive sections of the thesis show that contradiction exists in nearly every chapter of each book. The systematic sections show contradiction is central to the main systematic theological topics of the trilogy. Understanding Moltmann's theology of contradiction this way allows for clearer interpretation of his theology as a whole.ThesisMaster of Arts (MA
ADOPTED FOR THE KINGDOM
No full textThis thesis examines the penal substitutionary atonement theory (PSA) considering recent critical theological scholarship. The theological implications of PSA are applied to several systematic categories such as the Trinity, God’s wrath, sin, and forgiveness, demonstrating that Evangelicals should adopt a different framework to articulate the meaning of Jesus’ death. Instead of describing Jesus’ death in punitive and legal terms, this thesis contends that Jesus’ death should primarily be understood and communicated as being “for us,” and imagined as a kingly and fatherly “intervention.” Finally, this thesis makes several applications as to how the evangelical church should communicate atonement theology.ThesisMaster of Arts (MA
To Kill A Mockingbird? : A Theology of Animals and a Christian Response
No full textThis thesis commends an understanding of animals as creatures of inherent value, based on the care which God has for them. In support of this understanding, this thesis first examines the history of animals in the Christian tradition suggesting a minor but consistent place for them. Next the nature of animals in Scripture is examined, and in addition to support for God's care for creatures, human dominion, the image of God, and the possession of a soul by animals are also examined. Following this the use of animals in Scripture is studied including food and sacrificial uses, involving discussion on the fallen way now allowed by God, and the high value of life. Finally eschatological images involving animals found in Genesis, Isaiah, and Revelation are examined and the possibility of animal salvation is examined. Based on the idea of animals as creatures of value, an ethical examination of factory farming is undertaken, and the practice is rejected due to the excessive harm it bears upon animals.Master of Theological Studies (MTS
