The central question was, 'How does one recapture the punch of the parables in a modern setting, when the points of references are unfamiliar to today's audiences?' The project focussed on the reactions and evaluation of a select group of people from the congregation who heard two different methods of preaching on select parables.  One method incorporated the homiletical suggestions of David Buttrick;  the other method was a retelling of the parable in a modern setting.  The conclusion was that Buttrick's method worked better."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31bd5819-b5a3-4928-96d5-b581f38b637b"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791127193965821952,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T06:40:02.302Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T07:09:36Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T06:33:55Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"374c81fd-a0e4-48cc-9dd1-21fdd0b5403f","accessControl_ssim":["7a6bff59-7db4-4944-829d-cda2f47afe15"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Creating a congregational mission statement through a study of the marks of the church in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T07:09:35Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T23:44:09Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["c23dbb18-4573-4a37-927c-7d033542d411"],"hasLease_ssim":["7107b153-efb0-4b9f-9a9c-62b8d661f55a"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["John E Mehl"],"year_tesim":["2002"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Jay M Hollingsworth"],"publisher_tesim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Bible.

The aim of the course is to make students aware of the basic beliefs, practices, values, and general ethos of Protestants, Roman Catholics, and the Orthodox in order to provide a context for ecclesiological, ecumenical understanding.  The focus is a phenomenological approach that takes seriously the theology of the different traditions from their own particular perspectives. Differences are discussed along with similarities.  A significant part of the paper discusses the issues and rationale for religious studies courses in public education."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31bd5819-b5a3-4928-96d5-b581f38b637b"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1799720792951357440,"timestamp":"2024-05-22T03:11:36.939Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T04:22:50Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T06:32:35Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"1e88b3c6-4dae-4ee9-81f8-671e83af1b2b","accessControl_ssim":["be1e5504-4c9e-4b36-acb9-f438c8364edc"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["The fire of thought: a double hermeneutic for preaching as pastoral care"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T04:22:50Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T23:02:00Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["469848e6-871f-411d-962f-86e6a84bff03"],"hasLease_ssim":["3a7dcea6-027d-4d57-b574-9ce4a5e13523"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Andrew Purves"],"year_tesim":["1995"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Joseph W Patterson"],"publisher_tesim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["System theory","Object relations (Psychoanalysis)","Pastoral theology","Preaching"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This project demonstrated the role of behavioral sciences, specifically systems theory and object relations theory, as interpretive of the congregation in preparation for preaching.  These two theories are built around presuppositions similar to a theological anthropology in which the Old Testament 'image of God' and the New Testament 'Body of Christ' are central.  Those theories can enable the preacher to conduct a double hermeneutic.  The interpretation of the biblical text and the use of behavioral science in the interpretation of the congregation can both assist the preacher preparing meaningful sermons.  A series of sermons, which utilized the double hermeneutic in a variety of ways, was critiqued by a group trained to provide essential feedback."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31bd5819-b5a3-4928-96d5-b581f38b637b"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791126729231695872,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T06:32:39.097Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T04:22:50Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T06:39:04Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"8133ed88-cbf5-4e2a-a5f3-d45ae3b51135","accessControl_ssim":["f86155cc-179a-4b64-9ea8-57496a2796b8"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Pilgrimage into promise: Calvin's benefits of knowing Christ in a pan-atheistic age"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T04:22:49Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T01:56:36Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["eb9b1357-c0e7-471a-96c4-b29fcf568a1d"],"hasLease_ssim":["b25712a3-7143-4144-8242-6eedfd215f20"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Stephen D Crocco"],"year_tesim":["1995"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Thomas P Harp"],"publisher_tesim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Spiritual life--Christianity","Christology","Theology","Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["In The Institutes, Book 3, John Calvin identified the following benefits of knowing Christ: faith, regeneration, the Christian life, justification by faith, Christian freedom, prayer, election, and resurrection.
