Item A Biblical Exegesis of Colossians 3:1-3 and Its Significance for Christians in a Postmodern-post Christian Era(South African Theological Seminary, 2012) Weaver, Paul Andrew; Lessing, PelhamThis thesis is a Biblical Exegesis of Colossians 3:1-3 investigating its significance for Christians today. It explored: the historical, cultural and literary context of Colossians and the church in Colossae; in depth exegetical analysis to determine authorship and its original meaning, including preliminary analysis, contextual analysis, verbal analysis, literary analysis, an exegetical synthesis; and its significance for Christians today, including the practical implications of setting your hearts and minds on “...things above...” rather than on “...earthly things...” (Col3:1-3). Key ideas explored are: the believer’s position in Christ, the Colossians heresy, and the Christology of Colossians. In order to explore these topics and questions, the writer employed inductive Bible study principles primarily implementing the Theological Biblical Research Model of Smith and Woodbridge (2008). Multiple scholarly works in the form of commentaries, articles, dictionaries, Biblical encyclopaedias and lexica’s were consulted throughout in establishing the socio-political context from which the Colossian text emerged. Finally, the paper explored: What difference does this passage make for Christians today? Specifically, concerning the doctrinal significance of the Col 3:1-3 pericope for teaching us about God, ourselves and our relationship with God; and its practical significance for Christians today in applying the passage and the impact or change it should have on their lives. This paper is specifically concerned with the context of ‘Generation z’ and particular implications the pericope has for ministry to this generation.Item A Biblical Model of Mentoring with a Knowledge Management Perspective Conspectus : The Journal of the South African Theological Seminary, Volume 15, Issue 03, Mar 2013, p. 85 - 106(South African Theological Seminary Press Johannesburg, South Africa) Chua, Alton; Lessing, PelhamThe primary purpose of this paper is to develop a biblical model of mentoring with a knowledge management perspective. To this end, four research questions are submitted: (a) what are the components of a biblical model of mentoring with a knowledge management perspective? (b) What are the nature and types of knowledge imparted in a mentoring relationship? (c) What are the impediments to knowledge impartation in a mentoring relationship? (d) What knowledge management strategies can be used to overcome the impediments to knowledge impartation in a mentoring relationship? To address these problems, the Wesleyan quadrilateral approach of doing theology was used. First, five major components of a biblical model of mentoring with a knowledge perspective can be identified. They are the mentor, the protégé, , the knowledge to be imparted, the mentor-protégé, relationship, and the Holy Spirit. Next, the nature of knowledge imparted can be conceptualised as explicit-tacit-implicit, declarative-procedural-causal, as well as human-social-structured. The types of knowledge imparted cover instruction, encouragement, and inspiration. Third, four main impediments to knowledge impartation are the negative attributes of the mentor, the negative attributes of the protégé, , the characteristics of the knowledge, and the arduous mentor-protégé, relationship. Finally, knowledge management strategies to overcome the impediments to knowledge impartation in a mentoring relationship include mentor motivation, selection and training, a clear developmental path, and constant prayer for the protégé, and an organically-nurtured mentor-protégé relationship to promote trust between them.Item Abortion: The Effect and Ethical Implications it has on the Emotional Intelligence [EQ] of Adolescents(South African Theological Seminary Johannesburg, South Africa) Howard, Robynne Louise; Lessing, PelhamA study has been done in order to determine the effects abortion has on the emotional development of the adolecent and the ethical implications surrounding abortion. The purpose was to determine what effects abortion have psychologically,emotionally and in some cases physically, the ethical implications surrounding adolecent abortion as well as the future effects of abortion during adolecents due to the emotional implications. The ethical implications surrounding abortion has been discussed in depth, making mention of the various abortion views. The emotional development stages of an adolecent has been outlined and incorporated and considered with the ethical implications thereof. The main research findings surrounding adolecent abortions were that it has a severe negative effect on the emotional development of the individual. This has an even worse effect on the future of the individual than an adolecent that went through with the pregnancy. It was found that severe psychological disorders where found in all adolecents whether immediate or later on in the future. And lastly that adolecents where found to be emotionally undeveloped to make a decision such as whether to have an abortion or not.Item Conspectus Special Edition 2018(South African Theological Seminary, 2018-12-01) Atterbury, Vincent E.;
