[Mythoi (Romanized Form)] And [Genealogiai (Romanized Form)] In The Pastoral Epistles : A Reappraisal, Dale Banke
[Mythoi (Romanized Form)] And [Genealogiai (Romanized Form)] In The Pastoral Epistles : A Reappraisal, Dale Banke
Bachelor of Divinity
This paper is a tentative reappraisal of the nature of the μυ̑θοι and δενεαλοδίαι as these reflect a portion of the heresy combatted in the Pastorals. It is not intended to be an investigation of the entire heresy, much less the complete gamut of exhortation which the Epistles contain. This might appear to pose a false separation, since the wider contexts of the passages that include mention of the μυ̑θοι and δενεαλοδίαι seem to draw in much of the polemic and even some of the advice concerning early church order contained in these letters. Nonetheless, only those aspects of the …
Israel And The Nations: The Mission Motif In The Old Testament With Reference To The Yahwistic Passages Of The Pentateuch, To Deutero-Isaiah And To The Book Of Jonah, Arockiam Rajaian
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The object of this study is to investigate the mission motif in the life and thought of the people of Israel in three different periods in the nation's history, namely, the early monarchical period, the exilic period, and the post-exilic period. The inquiry seeks to determine whether or not Israel had a mission to the gentile nations during the Old Testament period, the nature of that mission, and the ways in which that mission was to be carried out. An attempt will also be made to discern the difference in emphasis in the three different periods and how the situations …
Jewish And Historical Background To 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Offiong Udo Idiong
Jewish And Historical Background To 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Offiong Udo Idiong
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The eschatology of 2 Thess. 2:1-12 has been a perennial problem for biblical interpreters. The language of the chapter is very different from that which Paul uses in his other epistles. He exhorts the Thessalonians not to be excited about the coming of the day of the Lord, "for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed …" (verse 3). When the appears, he will exalt himself "against every so-called god or object of worship, so that be takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God" …
Stephen's Speech Missiological Implications Of Stephen's Speech In Luke-Acts, Hyo-Jong Kim
Stephen's Speech Missiological Implications Of Stephen's Speech In Luke-Acts, Hyo-Jong Kim
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
Stephen's speech leaves us with many questions. Our study will help to answer some of these questions. Chapter One of this study deals with some background issues, i.e., Who Stephen is among the Seven Deacons, and Who the Hellenists are, whose complaint threatened the unity and harmony of the church in Jerusalem. Chapter Two seeks to determine how the reporting of speech in ancient literature is to be understood. This is an attempt to defend the authenticity, and thus, the reliability of the ancient records of various speeches. The third chapter, the main body of the work, handles the issues …
A Prolegomenon To New Testament Language In Light Of Contemporary Linguistic Analysis: A Look At Paul's Meaning And Use Of Theological Language In I Corinthians 2:6-16, John Stern
Master of Divinity Thesis
This, then, is the purpose of this study: to look more closely at what scholars in many fields have had to say regarding the matter of human language and its ability to make religious assertions. In an attempt to define this purpose more accurately, it will be necessary to: (a) examine the field of contemporary Linguistic Analysis in light of its historical setting;(b) describe the relationship between the phenomenology of language and religious language; (c) consider the work being done presently in the area of modern linguistic studies in biblical research and see its effect upon the formation of theological …
An Exegetical Study Of Romans 16:17-20 In Light Of Its Use In The Missouri Synod During The Last Thirty Years For The Question Of Fellowship, Roger P. Frobe
An Exegetical Study Of Romans 16:17-20 In Light Of Its Use In The Missouri Synod During The Last Thirty Years For The Question Of Fellowship, Roger P. Frobe
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This thesis is designed to investigate the use to which Rom. 16:17-20 has been put in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, particularly within the last thirty years. At the same time this dissertation offers an objective and independent interpretation of that pericope. The purpose of the study is not merely to add one more interpretation of Rom. 16:17-20. Instead, it is an attempt to examine the passage in light of its use in the Missouri Synod in the past. Simply stated our intent has been to provide a setting for the proper use of Rom. 16:17-20 in contemporary American discussions on …
Community Discipline: Saint Paul And Qumran: An Exegetical Study Of Paul's Principles Of Church Discipline Based On An Investigation Of Qumran And Such Pauline Materials As Relate To First Corinthians 5:1-5, Harold Louis Kitzmann
Community Discipline: Saint Paul And Qumran: An Exegetical Study Of Paul's Principles Of Church Discipline Based On An Investigation Of Qumran And Such Pauline Materials As Relate To First Corinthians 5:1-5, Harold Louis Kitzmann
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
Discipline problems arose early in the church. A case of flagrant immorality at Corinth prompted Pau1 to counsel the congregation there to meet in solemn assembly and to “excommunicate” the offender. The purpose of this study is to examine the subject of discipline as treated in Paul’s letters, particularly the instance related in 1 Cor. 5:1-5, against the background of Qumran. It is an attempt to establish the New Testament principles governing the church in its internal relations as the fellowship or community of God's "called out people" as compared with practices described in the Dead Sea Scrolls. On the …

The Vine Of God : A Study In Discipleship According To John 15:1-16, Paul Robert Biegner
Bachelor of Divinity
This paper is intended to be a study into the Biblical idea of the Vine of God as a word picture describing God’s people in both the Old and New Testaments. Specifically, the problem this investigation hopes to shed light upon.is this: in the light of God's dealings with His Old Testament Vine, what distinctive accents and emphases does the Vine-branches Analogy give to personal discipleship with God through Christ, the True Vine?
"Waiting In Hope" An Exegetical Study Of Romans 8:19-22, John Rische
"Waiting In Hope" An Exegetical Study Of Romans 8:19-22, John Rische
Bachelor of Divinity
It is not the purpose of this study to review and evaluate either the past or the present systematic discussions of this passage, but to offer a critical exegesis of the text. Such an exegesis, of course, will have a direct bearing upon the past and present dogmatic debates. These implications will be pointed out where appropriate.
A Presentation Of Research On Decaloque Material By The Form-Critical School Since The Time Of Albrecht Alt Until The Present, Wendell Henkenmeier
A Presentation Of Research On Decaloque Material By The Form-Critical School Since The Time Of Albrecht Alt Until The Present, Wendell Henkenmeier
Bachelor of Divinity
For most people, "Decalogue" means the Ten Commandments and no more thought is given to it. However, this is not such a precise term as might be expected and it needs to be clarified. As will be shown in Chapter V, it is not an easy task to enumerate "ten" units in the so-called Ten Commandments; nor is it impossible to isolate other "decalogues" in other sources than the ones in which the common Ten Commandments are found. Nevertheless, this paper will pivot around the so-called "classic” Decalogue material of Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. And furthermore, the term "Decalogue" …
