They assent to the authority of scripture, but they have also been impacted by the undercurrents of the postmodern culture. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact a postmodern worldview (social imaginary) has on the engagement of Christian college Student Affairs/Student Development personnel with their Gen Z students, and in particular, their engagement with their students’ hearts, minds, and practices. Utilizing the book of Proverbs (representing biblical wisdom concerning young people’s hearts, minds, and practices) and the “three great untruths” of Lukianoff and Haidt found in The Coddling of the American Mind (representing postmodern “wisdom”), this study sought to gain insight into which type of wisdom was being described when Christian college Student Development personnel talked about developing the hearts, minds, and practices of their students.\r\n\r\nThis study utilized a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with eight Christian College Student Development personnel from a singular CCCU (Council for Christian Colleges and Universities) institution in the Midwest. Interviews were conducted with Student Development professionals from a variety of offices within the Student Development division of that institution. The interviews were analyzed and compared in order to identify worldview categories and themes.\r\n\r\nThe introduction and literature review focused on four key areas regarding the impact of postmodernism on the engagement of Christian College Student Development personnel with the hearts, minds, and practices of their Gen Z students: the roots and impact of modernism and postmodernism on contemporary American higher education (in the introduction); the good, true, and beautiful life according to the proverbs of Solomon; the good, true, and beautiful life according to the modern social imaginary; and the good, true, and beautiful life according to the postmodern social imaginary.\r\n\r\nThe resulting analysis revealed these primary findings. First, CCSDP answered questions about living truthfully, flourishing, and doing good in the world in ways most aligned with the wisdom of Proverbs. Second, there was also significant alignment in their answers with modern and postmodern social imaginaries. This study identified which concepts in Proverbs and which concepts in the modern and postmodern social imaginaries the CCSDP were describing in their answers, as well as potential cultural reasons for those descriptions."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"related_url_tesim":["https://www.covenantlibrary.org/etd/2024/Haase_Kathleen_DMin_2024.pdf"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"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":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"_version_":1848719058728386560,"timestamp":"2025-11-13T23:18:04.560Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2025-04-17T21:08:47Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2025-04-17T21:08:50Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"e80d01ec-a765-4128-8c1e-9a27bffc81ba","accessControl_ssim":["9b9c19e7-bccc-4c22-868f-56ca6de2fcc4"],"depositor_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"title_tesim":["Blessedness in the context of all the people of God : cohesiveness between biblical wisdom literature and the Matthean Sermon on the Mount"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2025-04-17T21:08:46Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2025-04-17T21:08:46Z","isPartOf_ssim":["admin_set/default"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["a2039767-c1e7-4966-936b-2701d4edb09a"],"hasLease_ssim":["e97e146a-803e-444f-aa16-e23aa8138387"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Master of Arts in Biblical \u0026 Theological Studies"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Covenant Theological Seminary"],"year_tesim":["2024"],"resource_type_tesim":["Thesis"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Gooch, Cynthia B."],"keyword_tesim":["Relation to the Old Testament"],"subject_tesim":["Bible.

A case for this interpretation, however, is not fleshed out as much as it could be. Competing views have arisen in recent generations that purport Titus 1.5-9 to be either an accommodation to bourgeoise Hellenistic ethics by Christians in the late first or early second century, or a literalistic list of qualifications with the litmus test limited to a man’s marriage and children per v. 6. Thus, there is a need for a detailed argument to be made for the ethical ideal view and its rhetorical implications within the context of the biblical canon.\r\n\r\n        I begin by establishing a proper reading of Proverbs in its rhetorical, canonical and ANE cultural context. Proverbs, addressed to the wise (1.5), uses rhetorical devices that Titus 1.5-9 shares (e.g., caricatures, concreteness) to shape Israelite hearts to aspire toward its ethical ideals. This rhetorical method requires adherents to practice the principle of mutatis mutandis in their own actual responses. By establishing the canonical context for Proverbs, it becomes clear that the God of Titus is the same God who operates in the same ways.\r\n\r\n        To see Titus 1.5-9’s shared aspects with Proverbs, I detail how 2TJ Wisdom Literature made the worldview of the Jewish scriptures palatable to Hellenized Jews. The ethical ideals shared by Jews and Hellenists were lauded as pursuable only in fellowship with Yahweh, who is the source of wise, moral living. 2TJ co-opted Greek terms, often with nuanced meaning, and rhetorical devices, namely, lists and rhetorically ideal figures like what we find in Titus 1.5-9.\r\n\r\n        When Titus 1.5-9 is read in light of all this, the most likely interpretation is that it is a description of a rhetorically morally ideal person, expecting adherents to practice its implementation mutatis mutandis.\r\n"],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"related_url_tesim":["https://www.covenantlibrary.org/etd/2023/Soyars_Nick_MAET_2023.pdf"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"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":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"_version_":1817733744177446912,"timestamp":"2024-12-06T22:59:45.887Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:20:21Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:20:22Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"a4e0ec76-b2a4-4a68-a8d8-e7f304291874","accessControl_ssim":["75f67550-93f6-4511-b335-c295a64b0554"],"depositor_ssim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"title_tesim":["Reading poetry as learning : the pedagogical impact of the readerly interpretive process in Proverbs 31:1-9"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:20:20Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-12-04T02:20:20Z","isPartOf_ssim":["admin_set/default"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["01958a40-0c42-4998-b9d0-33d24176219d"],"hasLease_ssim":["958e8d07-0151-41ac-9ab2-d5abd844c57e"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Master of Arts in Exegetical Theology"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Covenant Theological Seminary"],"year_tesim":["2022"],"resource_type_tesim":["Thesis"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Tatko, Victoria K."],"subject_tesim":["Bible.

Launching from recent work by Anne Stewart and Suzanna Millar (including leveraging of high-level cognitive linguistics theories), this study tested the hypothesis that the readerly process for 31:1-9— participating in its poetry and navigating its many hermeneutic difficulties—does contribute significantly to its pedagogy. \r\n\r\nStandard exegetical and literary methods enabled close reading of 31:1-9 attentive to temporal readerly interpretation through two sequential readings by an imagined early canonical readership. Readerly engagement in the unit’s poetry was traced at multiple points per verse using three dynamics adapted from Millar: openness/closure, resonance/dissonance, and trust/scrutiny. Qualitative measurements were graphed and discussed.\r\n\r\nThe readerly process of 31:1-9 was found to be undulating and complex, and its pedagogy richly multi-faceted. The inferred pedagogy for canonical readers certainly includes what mainstream scholarship discerns: leaders must reject indulgent living and advocate for the poor. Yet considering the interpretive process uncovered more: a poetic pedagogy designed to shape the whole person toward right living within God’s covenant. The text’s interpretive challenges were seen to propel readers deep into the unit’s text, Proverbs, and the canon, leading to key framing contexts, e.g., 1 Samuel 1-4, Psalm 2, and Proverbs 9. Relevance theory suggests the text’s persistent ambiguity reflects second-order communication (showing versus telling) designed to engage the imagination of God’s people, calling them to remember, trust in His coming deliverance, and reflect His character in consecrated living. The interpretive process developed discernment, uncovering calls of hope and warning. Such showing suggests an intended sense of the difficult משא (31:1) as ‘oracle’, inviting rereading with a hermeneutic appropriate to prophetic material.\r\n\r\nThe tested hypothesis was determined as confirmed: the canonical readerly interpretive process does contribute meaningfully to the poetic pedagogy of Proverbs 31:1-9."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"related_url_tesim":["https://www.covenantlibrary.org/etd/2022/Tatko_Victoria_MAET_2022.pdf"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"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":["library@covenantseminary.edu"],"_version_":1817474575114436608,"timestamp":"2024-12-04T02:20:23.007Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T19:54:46Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:15:34Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"03767757-0094-449d-b3f8-e7d47b001ba0","accessControl_ssim":["910a16c1-6cba-4400-9dab-6ae5500626b3"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Increasing Emotional Intelligence in College Youth Ministry Students Preparing for Ministry"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T19:54:46Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T22:13:14Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["4ba6d235-71b7-4717-bd08-8acc106fb638"],"hasLease_ssim":["fa18f463-ab5b-493a-98b3-a6ee878c2c9d"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"discipline_tesim":["Leadership"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Denver Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Angie Ward D.Min."],"year_tesim":["2022"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

The researcher used an EI inventory, developed by Richard Boyatzis and Daniel Goleman (ESCI-U), designed for the university setting. Five categories are assessed by the ESCI-U: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Management, and Cognitive Competencies. There are twelve competencies organized into four clusters. Self-Awareness is the first cluster area, and the competency measured is Emotional Self-Awareness. The second cluster is Self-Management. In this cluster, there are four competencies: Achievement Orientation, Adaptability, Emotional Self-Control, and Positive Outlook. In the third cluster, Social Awareness, Empathy, and Organizational Awareness competencies are assessed. Finally, the fourth cluster area includes five competencies: Conflict Management, Coach and Mentor, Influence, Inspirational Leadership, and Teamwork. Following the presentation of the class material, the students engaged in four weeks of practicing The Daily Examen and journaling. After the four weeks of reflection, the students retook the EI inventory. The beginning and ending scores were compared. The project successfully improved EI levels because each student showed an increase in at least three of the twelve competencies, according to the ECSI-U inventory.

Some campus ministers work out of no clear conceptual model while doing ministry. Others work out of a variety of models such as the priest/preacher, the evangelist, the prophet and the counselor. Each of these models has strengths and limitations as we shall attempt to demonstrate. Beyond this, it is my conviction that the paradigm of the sage is able to enrich each model.This project paper focuses on the three major Old Testament works of wisdom: Ecclesiastes, Job, Proverbs; indirectly on wisdom Psalms; plus on elements of wisdom in the New Testament.Closely related to the matter of models of ministry is the issue of self-identity in ministry. Campus ministers often suffer from identity confusion. They serve in a setting of faculty, staff, and students. The campus minister bears similarity to each of these, yet is none of them. The campus minister teaches, administers programs and continually learns. Still the minister realizes that none of these functions fully describes one's professional identity. Who then really is the campus minister? I want to argue that the biblical sage offers itself as a congenial and productive identity model for campus ministers."],"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":["Western Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["c24f9e0f-f5f0-45a3-b7f1-6a406c6902fb"],"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_":1791135560101789696,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:53:00.871Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T19:44:06Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:25:45Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"94a54fc7-4854-4305-a03d-94577054ed42","accessControl_ssim":["354046e6-9e26-4959-9de9-8f0fa5f00572"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Increasing Emotional Intelligence in College Youth Ministry Students Preparing for Ministry"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T19:44:06Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T02:28:59Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["88ca07af-a5cb-474a-9ded-1d76c91d76ac"],"hasLease_ssim":["aedc9220-5bca-4c82-aec1-6c28f602d37b"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"discipline_tesim":["Leadership"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Denver Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Marshall Shelley Ph.D."],"year_tesim":["2022"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

The project tested the hypothesis that a six-class emphasis on EI followed by four weeks of journaling exercises would increase EI levels in students preparing for ministry. In addition, the researcher established the link between wisdom in the book of Proverbs and its’ connection with EI. The researcher used an EI inventory, developed by Richard Boyatzis and Daniel Goleman (ESCI-U), designed for the university setting. Five categories are assessed by the ESCI-U: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Management, and Cognitive Competencies. There are twelve competencies organized into four clusters. Self-Awareness is the first cluster area, and the competency measured is Emotional Self-Awareness. The second cluster is Self-Management. In this cluster, there are four competencies: Achievement Orientation, Adaptability, Emotional Self-Control, and Positive Outlook. In the third cluster, Social Awareness, Empathy, and Organizational Awareness competencies are assessed. Finally, the fourth cluster area includes five competencies: Conflict Management, Coach and Mentor, Influence, Inspirational Leadership, and Teamwork. Following the presentation of the class material, the students engaged in four weeks of practicing The Daily Examen and journaling. After the four weeks of reflection, the students retook the EI inventory. The beginning and ending scores were compared. The project successfully improved EI levels because each student showed an increase in at least three of the twelve competencies, according to the ECSI-U inventory. Four students (67% of the class) showed an increase in at least half of the competencies, and two of the four increased in nine and ten of the competencies, respectively."],"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":["Denver Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["e7af129f-938f-4821-9463-dc6ded35d563"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791133847997382656,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:25:48.081Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T19:32:01Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:23:46Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"148152d2-7d74-4bf9-94c7-a91b2ec40fde","accessControl_ssim":["f9a62a89-e6b3-4574-9030-058fecb1b903"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Preaching Christ From Vietnamese Proverbs And Folk Poetry"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T19:31:59Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T22:43:42Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["66cc761e-e2eb-490d-be35-cd6182f42c93"],"hasLease_ssim":["2d7e53ad-6a46-49d7-bf5e-3649c0f61cce"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"discipline_tesim":["Homiletics"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Aquinas Institute of Theology"],"advisor_tesim":["Hy K.

The project considers the biblical mandate to pursue humility, exegeting both narrative and didactic passages from the New and Old Testament, and then considers secular and Christian literature on the topic of humility and leadership. The field research includes qualitative and quantitative data seeking the perspectives of both clergy and lay leaders on what effective, humble leadership should look like and evaluates the responses in light of the biblical material and literature studied. The conclusion of the project is that humble, non-personality-driven church ministry is not only possible but should be pursued in a context of team leadership, accountability, and personal disciplines. Central to the project's findings is the need for a leader to nurture and pursue a gospel-focused vision."],"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":["Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["c654e922-76d0-4427-ac29-e286b7997781"],"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_":1799719376357687296,"timestamp":"2024-05-22T02:49:05.971Z","score":1.0}],"facets":[{"name":"resource_type_sim","items":[{"value":"D.Min.
