Seminary Papers

These are papers that Doug wrote while at seminary.

A Brief History of the Evangelical Covenant Church - Here is a short form of the Covenant Church history.
Healing for the Victim of Childhood Sexual Abuse - I pray that this paper helps bring healing to the victims of CSA.
Challenges of New Media Ministries - Here's a tutorial to help your church get on the Internet and how to use it for effective Christian ministry.
Early Church Views on the Resurrection of the Believer - The resurrection of the flesh was a cardinal belief of the early church. How well do some current evangelicals stack up when compared with the church fathers on this important subject?
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: 1 Cor 15:1-8 - The Earliest Resurrection Account. Everything you need to know about the Gospel from about 20 years after the event.
The Resurrection of the Flesh - Does this doctrine matter? Is the resurrection spiritual or physical? This paper answers this question.
A Cut Above or Cut Off: Conditionality of the Covenant of Circumcision - The Covenant of Circumcision - Traces circumcision from the Old Testament through the New Testament and relates the surprising way that circumcision relates to the Gospel.
Ezekiel's Prophecy of the Destruction of Tyre: Ezekiel 26 - Is the Ezekiel 26 Prophecy of the Destruction of Tyre an Example of a Failed Prophecy?
Did Jesus Exist? - Interacts with G. A. Wells who has the hypothesis that Jesus did not exist. Wells is quoted frequently by skeptics. For instance, he is referenced over 100 times on the infidels.org website.
The Curses of Genesis 3 - Explains the curses of Genesis 3 on the man, woman and snake. Is this a protoevangelium? Does this refer to Christ?
The Naturalistic Philosophy of Steven W. Hawking - A brilliant physicist and influential advocate of an alternative explanation to origins. But are his theories really scientific? Or do they contain a pre-supposed worldview? What does Hawking mean when he uses the word "God"?
Outline of the Book of James( - I was told that scholars had tried but could not find an organizing principle in the book of James. They told me that it was a book of wisdom writings and proverbs. Is that really true or is there actually a reason behind the rhyme?
Children of the Greater God: Paul with the Philosophers on Mars Hill An Example of Cross Cultural Ministry- Paul on Mar's Hill provides an excellent example of cross-cultural ministry. Paul knew his audience but at the same time did not compromise his message.
The Role of the Synaxis (Sunday Service) in the Spiritual Life of the Egyptian Desert Monks - The title speaks for itself. Why would these solitary monks of the Egyptian desert leave their holes once a week and gather to worship? What was there that they needed above and beyond what they got from day to day?
Is the Dogma of the Perpetual Virginity of The Blessed Virgin Mary Based on a Bibliographical Ghost? . It was my contention that the dogma of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary was a late invention. This paper caused a bit of a stir in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox communities due to the quote from an Eastern Orthodox Bishop - before he became a bishop.
Luther, Erasmus and Free Will: Poles of the Dialectic - Luther's determinism and Erasmus' free will defense. In the end, even the Lutheran church ended up closer to Erasmus than to Luther on this point.
Principles of Giving - Some Biblical principles of stewardship.
Philosophy of Christian Formation in the Local Church - A paper for a Christian Education final exam
