INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first rov/ and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews U n iversity Department of Education T it le : TEACHING THE BIBLE TO BLACK AFRICANS (Toward a methodological approach to Bible teaching applied to the Beti tribes of South-Cameroon) Name of researcher: Joseph Nkou Name and degree of faculty adviser: Wilfred G. A. Futcher, Ph.D. Date completed: August 1980 Problem This study is concerned with methods of teaching the Bible in Black Africa and particularly among the Beti tribes of South Cameroon. The Gospel message has been brought to the Beti people through the ministry of Western instructors. Some have claimed their teaching to be irrelevant to the Africans. It appeared necessary, then, to find out in what way that teaching was irrelevant to Beti people and to suggest positive methods which could be applied in order to facilitate the Beti grasp of the Christian message and, consequently, to predispose them to a full and inner acceptance of the Gospel. 1 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. 2 Method Three main research methods have been used: 1. A review o f a v a ila b le lite r a tu r e dealing with methods of teaching the Bible in Africa, with the religious, social, and cultural background of the Beti. 2. Interviews with selected outstanding Beti scholars. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for analyzing. 3. A statistical chi-square analysis of the responses to a survey questionnaire in which four hundred Beti villagers were involved: including young and old people, illiterate and educated, Christians and non-C hristians, men and women. Findings The findings can be summarized in three main areas: 1. An acquaintance with the Beti people, who live mainly in South Cameroon. They o rig in a lly believed in , among other secondary gods, an ultimate God, called Zamba, or Ntondo obe. They worshipped through specific rites and are characterized by specific patterns of thought and a consistent set of values. 2. The general external methods which should be considered, if the Christian message is to be conveyed in relevant terms to the Beti, are namely, the importance of communication, values, patterns of thought, needs finding, a positive example, progressive revelation, and the authority of the Bible. 3. There are specific biblical issues which have positive cortmon points with Beti beliefs (God, Jesus Christ, the Word of God, baptism, the Holy Supper) and other biblical teachings with which Beti beliefs are in apparent conflict with the Gospel Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. (polygamy, Christian diet, ancestors, origin of sin, and the law o f God). Conclusion It appears then that a knowledge of the religious beliefs, the values, and the thought patterns of Beti people on the part of the religious educator creates an atmosphere of reciprocal con­ fidence, esteem, and appreciation. This helps to establish a positive communication which is the primary condition for a fru it­ fu l dialogue between the Beti people and the Gospel worker.

  • Joseph: Authentic Leadership Forged in the Crucible
    JOSEPH: AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP FORGED IN THE CRUCIBLE Melody Smith Authentic leadership, a relatively new leadership theory, helps fill the need for principled and trustworthy leaders. Issues of integrity, values, and care for others are emphasized, aligning well with biblical foundations for Christian leaders. Of special note is the role of major life events or crucibles, referring to some transformative experience or hardship which tests a person’s limits, but also provides the means of personal growth, empathy, self-knowledge, and deeper reliance upon God. Joseph exemplified authentic leadership in practice and through years of life-changing hardship. Through his own values, self-control, compassion, and sense of purpose, he earned the trust of high officials, and even more importantly, he was found trustworthy by God, who was consistently blessed his leadership. I. INTRODUCTION On December 5, 2018, Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of George H. W. Bush, provided a eulogy at President G. H. W. Bush’s funeral (Foussianes, 2018, para. 1). He eloquently spoke of President Bush’s character: “His life code, as he said, was: ‘Tell the truth. Don’t blame people. Be strong. Do your best. Try hard. Forgive. Stay the course.’ And that was, and is, the most American of creeds” (Foussianes, 2018, para. 12). Such life codes speak of integrity. They speak of those vital internal character qualities of trustworthy leaders. According to Meacham (2015), President Bush might justify political compromise during campaigns, but always aimed to be “principled and selfless once in command” (Meacham, 2015, p. xxv). Meacham continued, “And as Journal of Biblical Perspectives in Leadership 9, no.
