The journal is published Acceptance is determined by the quality of the work. Please submit all works through the JUFF Dedication: David S. Dockery In the winter of 1995-96, the Union faculty gathered in Savage Memorial Chapel to hear from the newly elected president, David S. Dockery. DSD, as he would become known, had been serving at The Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville and would soon become the 15th president of Union University. Even though his tenure would faculty of the university prior to his installation as president to share his vision for the future of the institution. It was a profound and prophetic time for Union. During that time together, the faculty learned that this new president knew much of the rich history of Union University—a story many faculty did not know and one convinced that the university’s best days were still to come. DSD had a grand vision for Union’s future, a future that would be anchored in four core values: eXcellence-driven, Christ-centered, people-focused, and future-directed. Yet, the most memorable remarks were about the new standard this president would set for Union as an institution of Christian higher education. It was his goal for Union to be on par with Wheaton College, arguably the premier Christian college in the nation. Most, if not all, had heard of Wheaton, some probably recalling that the famous evangelist Billy Graham had graduated from there. President-elect Dockery assured the faculty that unforgettable: “Not only is it my desire that Union will be known as the ‘Wheaton of the South,’ but rather that Wheaton, one day soon, will become known as the ‘Union of the North.’” Smiles and laughter followed this fantastic idea and those present began to appreciate the new leader’s sense of humor. After nearly two decades of DSD’s leadership, Union’s success is no laughing matter. DSD’s tenure at Union has been marked by many impressive accomplishments: a future-directed campus master plan along with the construction of multiple new buildings; the reorganization of the university into the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education and Human Studies, and Schools of Business, Pharmacy, and Theology and Missions; the recruitment and eXpansion of an eXcellent faculty; and the recognition of eXcellence conveyed by such premier academic rankings as Kiplingers, U.S. News and World Report College Rankings, The Princeton Review, and many others. Furthermore, DSD has supported and encouraged faculty opportunities for research leaves, for teaching and learning grants, and for conference travel. He has not only supported faculty research, but also maintained an impressive scholarly agenda of his own and has often invited faculty members to participate in his many collaborative proJects. The eXample he has set as a scholar, writer, and lecturer has encouraged many faculty members in their own scholarly pursuits. Recently, a long-time Union colleague stated, “Union is the Shire. It’s the happiest place in Christian higher education.” While Union might be the “Shire” in the world the envy of others in the Christian academy. Dr. Dockery, thank you for boldly taking Union to places she had not gone before. We salute you DSD by dedicating this year’s journal to you. Matt D.

Proverbs 25:2 Welcome to Union University's Journal of the Union Faculty Forum (JUFF). As Forum President, I am pleased to invite you to engage with Union University scholars in "the glory of kings"—in searching out the mystery and beauty of creation and of the human experience. Many thanks to the faculty members for their work leading us in this royal endeavor. The purpose of the Union Faculty Forum is to advance the university's mission of Christ-centered higher education through JUFF and through the Forum's role in faculty governance. I invite Union faculty members to participate in both. May our intellectual worship advance Christ's kingdom as we walk in justice and mercy. Randal S. Schwindt, Ph.D., P.E. 2013 - 2014 Faculty Forum Officers: Randal S. Schwindt President Georg Pingen Vice President Chris Nadaskay Secretary Christine Bailey Editor-in Chief of JUFF Terry L. Weaver Past President Musings on the Future of Higher Education John Netland or most of my academic career, I have heard the dire prophecies of the academic F Cassandras1: the future of higher education is bleak; the humanities are doomed; state and federal support for higher education is being slashed; there are no jobs for Ph.D.s; academic standards are being eviscerated; higher education costs too much; college athletics have corrupted the academic enterprise; etc. As someone these warnings with a skeptical ear. These jeremiads about the state of education represent something of a seasonal ritual, a recurring lament that the halcyon days of education have vanished and that civilization itself hangs in the balance as hordes of technocrats and barbarians threaten the sanctuary of academia. What if the doomsayers are right this time? The mythical Cassandra had the misfortune to be both disbelieved and accurate, and while some of the ritual laments for higher education are overstated, something has shifted in the academic landscape, and the doomsayers are no longer so easy to dismiss. Increasingly, the critics of higher education describe an impending catastrophe not as an assault by the vulgarians against the noble aims of humane education but as an internal collapse 1 Cassandra was the mythical daughter of Priam, King of Troy. Her tragic dilemma was to be gifted with prophecy to foretell the future with accuracy but not to be believed. 2 of an unsustainable system. University of Tennessee Law Professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds warns of The Higher Education Bubble, a metaphor evoking memories of the dramatic economic collapses our society has experienced in recent decades (e.g., the “dot-com” bubble of 1997-2000 and the real estate and stock market declines of 2007-2008). In economic terms, a bubble refers to something that has become over- valued according to traditional measures of worth but that continues to increase in chain reaction that decimates the marketable value of that item. What Reynolds and and that its bubble is likely to burst when students and their parents will no longer pay for the cost of a university education. I agree that higher education is in a state of crisis, but I do not conclude that this crisis is a cause for despair. To be sure, higher education is in for a bumpy ride in the next decade, but despair

    The Origins of the Ptolemaic Tradition and Its Adoption and Replacement in Colonial America

    The Origins of the Ptolemaic Tradition and its Adoption and Replacement in Colonial America Master Thesis By Ben Baumann 11592583 June 2018 University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Humanities Master’s Program in Classics and Ancient Civilizations: Ancient Studies First Supervisor: Dr. Jan Willem van Henten Second Supervisor: Dr. Fred Spier Baumann 1 I. Introduction The mapping of the universe and the attempt to understand the cosmos through scholarly investigation has been a constant endeavor of the human race since ancient times. This investigation is known as cosmography. In this thesis, I will analyze how early Colonial American scholars made sense of ancient Greek understandings of cosmography. In particular, I will focus on the way these Greek ideas shaped American thinking not only about the cosmos itself, but also about the way cosmographic understanding became intertwined with views about God and theology. When they first arrived in North America, Colonial Americans generally had a cosmography that was based on the Ptolemaic tradition. But, once they became established in the new world, and especially after the founding of Harvard University, a cosmographic revolution taking place in Europe would begin to resonate in the so-called New World. Thus, some Colonial American scholars willingly engaged in contemplation of the new outlook and proved receptive to the ideas of Nicolas Copernicus. Not surprisingly, in a land where scientific and religious thought overlapped so extensively, this caused heated scholarly debate over the topic and even resulted in student protests at Harvard University. The record of these debates can be traced back to the 17th-century writings of Colonial America, such as several astronomical almanacs, that since have been preserved as vitally significant artifacts of intellectual life in the colonies.

    A Response to the Boyle Lecture by Simon Conway Morris

    S & CB (2006), 18, 31–34 0954–4194 JOHN POLKINGHORNE Rich Reality: a response to the Boyle Lecture by Simon Conway Morris Simon Conway Morris’s Boyle Lecture delivers a rhetorically lively and intel- lectually provocative challenge to scientistic fundamentalism and its assertively arid discourse. He rightly criticises the tone of the arguments pre- sented by people such as Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett, pointing out that in relation to religious belief they treat serious issues ‘with a bluntness and unsubtlety that in any normal discourse would be treated as juvenile’. There is indeed a deplorably ‘know-nothing’ character in some of the writings abut science and religion that originate from the sceptics, in which the authors totally fail to engage with the intellectual integrity and truth-seeking charac- ter of theological thought. Conway Morris’s response certainly does not suffer from the ‘combination of nervousness and accommodation’ that he – unfairly in my opinion – says characterises much of the religious participation in debate. The lecturer believes that his own subject of organic evolution is the topic that is ‘the most sensitive, in some ways the most vulnerable’ in this dialogue. I would want to add to that the equally important discussion of the exchanges taking place across the frontier between neuroscience and theological anthro- pology, since they too impinge significantly on the question of the nature and significance of the human person. Yet no one could deny the importance of a temperate and truthful engagement between evolutionary insight and the doc- trine of creation, so that a Boyle Lecture given by a distinguished palaeontolo- gist who tackles these issues with frankness and discernment is greatly to be welcomed.
