The Lord's Prayer-Its Interpretation And A Reassessment Of An Eschatological Orientation, Favoring The Prayer's Primary Application As Being For The Present Gospel Age, David Fielding
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
"The Lord's Prayer: Its Interpretation and a Reassessment of an Eschatological Orientation, Favoring the Prayer's Primary Application as Being for the Present Gospel Age"
This dissertation (633 pp.) by David Fielding, Th.D., 1995,NT Exegetical Theology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, MO., defends the applicability of the LP for the present Gospel age on the basis of its seven imperative verbs understood as typical "prayer aorists." Therefore a strictly future eschatological interpretation restricts the rich meaning of this Prayer, taught by Jesus on more than one occasion. The orientation of the LP primarily to the present is also supported by its context …
Dr. H. C. J. Leupold, The Man And His Work --Especially His Exegesis, David Schreiber
Dr. H. C. J. Leupold, The Man And His Work --Especially His Exegesis, David Schreiber
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
Dr. Leupold holds a pivotal position in American Lutheranism, if for no other reason than that theologically he came to be little bit at odds with his own (1960) American Lutheran Church. And because his church went off in a little bit different direction than Dr. Leupold himself, it just makes him stand out in relief that much more.
The Role Of Psalm 89:6-19 In Israel's Cult, Ronald Vahl
The Role Of Psalm 89:6-19 In Israel's Cult, Ronald Vahl
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The specific problem addressed by this study is, "What is the role of Psalm 89:6-19 in the corporate worship life of ancient Israel?” Throughout our research we will use the word "cult" to signify Israel’s corporate religious worship and ritual. This will provide a way of more sharply focusing our investigation.
Four additional questions are immediately raised by our initial query. Is it profitable to study Ps. 89:6-19 as an individual unit apart from the entire Psalm? Since the time of John Calvin many scholars have noted a special thematic nuance in verses 6-19 which stands apart from the remainder …
A Study Of Some Lucan Parables In The Light Of Oriental Life And Poetic Style, Kenneth Ewing Bailey
A Study Of Some Lucan Parables In The Light Of Oriental Life And Poetic Style, Kenneth Ewing Bailey
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
Throughout the history of the church the parables of Jesus have received considerable attention from biblical interpreters. Yet the cultural milieu and the poetry of the parables are aspects of parabolic studies that have not been adequately treated. The culture reflected in the dominical parables is that of first century Palestine. While the externals of the Palestinian scene pertinent to the parables have been analyzed with precision, the internal aspects of personal relationship and attitude have been imprecisely discerned. A more precise delineation of the Oriental culture that informs the text of four major Lucan parables is the first task …

The Theology Of Divine Anger In The Psalms Of Lament, Thomas Dixon Hanks
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
From our survey of the controversy over divine wrath in the history of theology it should be evident that we are not dealing with a matter of minor importance but one of great significance for the whole structure of theology and basic to our understanding of biblical teaching.
