Enabling Grace : Modeling the Similarities and Differences Between Deuteronomy and John's Gospel
Hayhoe, Walter Douglas Scott, 1947-
This study investigates the relationship between John's Gospel and Deuteronomy, in terms of their similarities and differences. Previous research has noted important intertextual links between the two books, including the Johannine Jesus being a Moses-like prophet, and John's Farewell Discourse being similar to Deuteronomy. After conducting a fresh study of key words and themes in both books, I have proposed new links. More importantly, I have found that the narrative structure diagrams developed by Propp, Souriau, and Greimas are useful in comparing the books on a new level. Greimas's three-fold actantial sequences, applied to Deuteronomy and John's Gospel, reveal underlying similarities concerning God's relationships with people. God as a caring father loves and offers life to people. They, because of their unbelief and hardness of heart, fail to respond. God, therefore, gives them a divine enabling, through his grace, so that they can respond positively to his offer. The thesis also notes important differences between the books, including the contrast between Moses and Christ (i.e., the Johannine emphasis on Christ's divinity, atoning death, and resurrection), the difference between temporal life and eternal life, and the fact that the Johannine offer of life is made to the entire world, not just Israel.

Surprising Facts about Soils, Students and Teachers! A Survey of Educational Research and Resources
Hayhoe, Douglas
Lichtfouse, Eric (Editor)
Soil is one of the key resources that sustain life on Earth, not just as the foundation for almost all our food supplies, as important as that is, but also in the way that it filters water, supports biodiversity, and perhaps even moderates global climate. Yet the world’s soils are under increased pressure on many fronts. They face unprecedented threats from erosion, deforestation, desertification, salinization, sealing (paving over), contamination, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. The importance of soil and the need to sustain it against these threats, however, have elicited little interest, not only by scientists and the general public, but also by the educational systems of most countries. While increasing attention has been paid to other important environmental topics, such as loss of biodiversity, climate change, deforestation, fresh water availability, and the world’s oceans, little attention has been placed on soil so far.

Creation as a Gift: A Neglected Approach to Creation Care
Hayhoe, Douglas
Our Christian responsibility for ‘every living thing’ (Genesis 1) has long been framed as a matter of creation care. This frame fits well within the broader secular concepts of stewardship and sustainability that have been espoused by many, from development organisations to government funded schools. In recent years, Christian theologians and thought leaders have expanded on the frames within which to address issues of the environment and climate change. These include loving our global neighbours, sharing God’s mission, celebrating the community of creation and embracing a covenant framework. Here, I argue for placing more emphasis on another, complementary perspective, that of considering creation as a gift. Although this idea has been considered by postmodern philosophers and theologians1 and Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic leaders and scholars,2 it has only been briefly referred to in passing by conservative Protestant Christian theologians and scientists concerned with creation care.3 I suggest, however, that only within biblical Christianity can this approach be fully appreciated, as one that motivates us both to give thanks
