The Ministry of Robert Hall, Jr.: The Preacher as Theological Exemplar and Cultural CelebrityMcNutt, Cody Heath 23 May 2012 (has links)
This dissertation examines the way the life and ministry of Robert Hall, Jr. (1764-1831) functioned as both a theological exemplar and a cultural celebrity. Chapter 1 sets forth the thesis and defines its terminology and introduces the research methodology and the limitations of the project. Chapter 2 reintroduces the life of Robert Hall to a generation that has forgotten him. Details of Hall's education, pastoral ministry, mental breakdown, and death are provided here.
Chapter 3 discusses the preaching methodology Hall inherited from preceding generations of Baptists and how Hall changed that methodology over the course of his life. Chapter 4 first addresses Hall's theological journey before observing how Hall employed different doctrines in his preaching. The chapter concludes with a concise examination of Hall as a preacher and the way he also served as a theological exemplar.
Chapter 5 investigates Hall as a cultural celebrity, in many ways the first of such among the Baptists. The root of Hall's celebrification as a conversationalist, a rhetorician, and a preacher are all examined. Chapter 6 examines four of Hall's most famous sermons. It was these sermons that made Hall famous across the English nation and established him as a celebrity.

Paradigm shift in evangelism : a study of the need for contextualization in the mission of Southern BaptistsJohnson, Ronald Wayne 06 1900 (has links)
This thesis addresses a needed shift of paradigm for mission and
evangelism within the Southern Baptist Convention. The current model
lacks appropriate contextualization in a postmodern world. The proposition of the thesis is that a kingdom model for mission and
evangelism is more appropriate for Southern Baptists' commitment to
mission.
The methodology of this thesis was researching primary and
secondary sources, interviews with persons currently involved within the
mission of Southern Baptists, evaluation of empirical data, and testing
of concepts.
In Chapter One, the validity of this thesis is presented with
the proposition, the limitations, the purpose, the practical nature, and the modus operandi of the thesis stated.
Chapter Two explores the problems of evangelism within the mission of Southern Baptists today. Focus is on empirical statistical evidence and the failure of assumptions, methods, and models currently in practice.
Chapter Three examines the birth of the mission and evangelism
mandate of Southern Baptists and the subsequent development of a
monolithic structure unchanged to the present day.
Chapter Four traces the evolution of evangelistic witness within
the early church and explores the cultural dynamics of the period. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)
