Economic Aspects Of Reformation, Robert Boedecker

Bachelor of Divinity

The economic developments which antedated and accompanied the Reformation are one phase of that movement's history. Their study is not a complete explanation. No Christian could consider such a view. Yet the economic activity of the Europe of that day did have its influence on the Reformation, while the Reformation, at the same time, left its mark on the future course of economic development. Though a minority would disagree, that interaction was inevitable and appears certain to our eyes. Nor did that come by chance. Though with less clarity than in former periods, yet it is apparent that the hand …

Albrecht Durer And The Lutheran Reformation, William Scar

Bachelor of Divinity

This dissertation is a study of Albrecht Dürer's life and work with a theologioa1 interest. This is in no way a complete discussion of the artist's life and works. The selection of works treated in chapter four is not a good cross section of his drawings, woodcuts. copper engravings, etchings, and paintings. They are a careful selection of his works of art showing how he gradually employed true Christian or Biblical teaching in his religious subjects. The author endeavors to show in this paper that Albrecht Dürer made a contribution to the work of Martin Luther and his associates as …

Daughters Of Serbin, 1870-1905 History Of The Lutheran Churches At Fedor And Warda, Texas, Arthur C. Repp

Bachelor of Divinity

The history of St. Paul's congregation, as it was later called, with its doctrinal, racial, and language disputes, has already been told. But the story of its first daughters, the congregations which were organized at Fedor and Warde, Texas, is equally important for it shows how the parent and branch congregations influenced one another and how they in turn become one of the strong nuclei around which the present Texas District of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States was formed.

Lutheranism In The Region Of New York Until The Time Of Falckner, Eugene F. Helms

Bachelor of Divinity

The history of the Lutheran Church in the region of New York has its beginning contemporaneously with the beginning of the state of New York. Already at the time of the earliest explorations of that territory and the settlement of the first Dutch colony, we find traces of Lutheranism. True, the Lutherans never were a very large force; and, as a body, they had 1ittle to do with the shaping of New York’s development; nevertheless, Lutheranism was present. There was, also a nernber of individuals of, whose secular work the Lutheran Church can well be proud.

In our discussion we …

The Messsianic Concept In Jewish Apocalyptic Writing, Arne Kristo

Bachelor of Divinity

In this paper we propose to discuss certain aspects of the Messianic hope of the Jews as found in their apocalyptic literature. We want to investigate the apocalyptic writings with the desire of piecing together references to the Messiah, hoping in this way to discover what sort of Messiah this particular genre of Jewish literature presents.

The Jewish Marriage Customs At The Time Of Christ, Erich Henry Kiehl

Bachelor of Divinity

The family is “the primary social group and the wellspring of all civic and national life.” It is the basis of society. It conditions the moral health and tone of a nation, of an age. If the home is corrupted, the nation is on the way to destruction. To raise the moral standards of a nation we must begin, with the home. The future of a nation is conditioned by the homes that it fosters. The success or failure of a nation lies in the home.

Henotheistic Abberatons In Ancient Israel, Robert Wiltenburg

Bachelor of Divinity

In our present discussion we shall use the term “henotheism" in its generally accepted sense as referring to a belief in the supremacy of one god in a particular locality, while the existence of other gods in other places is taken for granted. It is, or course, not true that Jehovism as a religious system recognized such tenets. Scripture affords ample evidence to the effect that the great, inspired religious teachers of the Hebrews, such as Moses, Samuel, David, the prophets, and others, had a clear knowledge of the sole position of Jehovah as God of the universe. That this …

The History Of Scholasticism And Its Influence On The Church And Education Of The Middle Ages, Walter Huber

Bachelor of Divinity

This is to be a Bachelor of Divinity Thesis in the field of Church History. Immediately, however, it becomes evident that in the coverage of the above subject we cannot restrict ourselves within the bounds of Church History. It is impossible altogether to divorce Church History from general history. When one is taken and isolated from the other, both automatically suffer an infinite loss. Apart from the history of the world we cannot understand the history of the Church; and with the Church throughout all Christian ages playing so great, influential, and important role in the general history of mankind, …
