Biblical & Theological Essays: 2018-2019 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780970370747)

At Union University, every student majoring in the School of Theology & Missions takes a capstone course called Senior Seminar. The course provides students the opportunity to take all of the research and writing skills that they have honed over several years and apply those to a large research project. We don't do this because we think every student will become a research scholar; rather, we do this because we believe the skills that students build for researching and writing well are skills that transfer to being thoughtful servants of God in any setting. To research well, to write well, is an excellent preparation for thinking well and-Lord willing-living and serving well.Our School also enjoys a close relationship with Union's Honors Community under the direction of Scott Huelin. Students throughout the university have the opportunity to pursue "Discipline-Specific Honors," which allows them to work closely with faculty in their major to write a thesis. Mark Dubis guides the DSH program for the School of Theology & Missions. Students voluntarily increase their workload in four major courses-Senior Seminar being the final one-to do thesis research over the course of several semesters. In Senior Seminar, these students produce their honors thesis. What you hold in your hand are some of the finest fruits of these labors over the years. We are in general proud of our students and their work, but these research essays rise to the top. We have gathered them here to honor the work of these students and their faculty mentors. Yet these volumes of essays do more than honor work done. They also commend to you, our readers, the scholarly value of the product. In short, our students do great work, and others should benefit from that work.
