The Biblical Doctrine of Life After Death: Immortality or Resurrection

This thesis concerns the biblical doctrine of life after death. The issue to be resolved is whether the bibli­cal doctrine of life after death is expressed in terms of man\u27s inherent immortality or is expressed as a hope for per­sonal resurrection from the dead. The goal of the thesis is to describe the biblical doctrine of life after death and present it in such a way that it is particularly relevant to our society. In the paper, the question of immortality or resurrection is pre­sented in chapter one. The conclusion of the chapter is that immortality grows out of a dualistic anthropology, whereas resurrection grows out of a monistic anthropology

Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead

Partners for 100 Years - Abilene Christian University and the College Church of Christ: Partners in Transition

Given the congregational autonomy of Churches of Christ, the relationship between congregation and university can be complicated. This class views this relationship through experience of ACU\u27s longtime neighbor, the College/University Church of Chris
