Religious Influences In Louisiana Elections (1924-1956), Benjamin Franklin Veit
Religious Influences In Louisiana Elections (1924-1956), Benjamin Franklin Veit
Bachelor of Divinity
This paper attempts to discover the existence, if any, of religious influences in Louisiana elections since 1924. Several reasons bear upon both the selection of the state and the period. The author chose the State of Louisiana because it occupies a rather peculiar place in American politics. Typically a Southern state, Louisiana lacks, at least on the surface, a two-party system. Hence the complication of conflict between party loyalty and religious affiliation is removed. Louisiana is typical or the states of the South in that it contains a considerable Roman Catholic population. Indeed, the National Council of Churches has listed …

Baptismal References In First Peter, Gerard Edward Isenberg

The Influence Of The Babylonian Captivity On The Religion Of The Jews, Arthur C. Dueker
The Influence Of The Babylonian Captivity On The Religion Of The Jews, Arthur C. Dueker
Bachelor of Divinity
It is the purpose of this paper to uncover the importance and the influence of this exile upon the religion of the Jews, more especially, to understand the changes which the Babylonian Captivity brought upon the religion of the Jews. For it was during the exile in Babylonia that the Jews changed as a people, as a nation, and, what is most important of all, as a religious society. These changes and developments, which occurred during the exile, have remained until the present day and are of the utmost importance in our understanding of the Jewish people.
Chrysostom's Theology Of The Priesthood, Albert Hahn Gaal
Chrysostom's Theology Of The Priesthood, Albert Hahn Gaal
Bachelor of Divinity
Perhaps he can give only a beginning of an ideal for the construction of a theology of the ministry. The Church may find in Chrysostom a series of insights neglected over the years through carelessness. Then this is the problem which faces the Church--to study Chrysostom's homilies and basic writings, perhaps gathering from then new, important insights that can help to make the work of the ministry more effective in the confusing days which the Church faces in the Atomic Age.
An Historical Study Of The Lutheran Sources Of The Book Of Common Prayer Of 1549, Arthur A. Preisinger
An Historical Study Of The Lutheran Sources Of The Book Of Common Prayer Of 1549, Arthur A. Preisinger
Bachelor of Divinity
The question is, of course, how much influence did the German Reformers exercise over the English? Were their principles of liturgical reform the same? It will be the purpose of this research to try to discover just how much the Reformers in England depended on the influence of Lutheran reform; how much they actually took over into the Book of Common Prayer from the German service books. It cannot be denied that the Lutheran Reformation exerted a tremendous influence in England. Was this merely apolitical influence? Or did Lutheran theology penetrate deeply into the English system at that time?
The Influence Of Thomas Cranmer On Henry Viii And Through Him On The English Reformation, John Edward Golisch
The Influence Of Thomas Cranmer On Henry Viii And Through Him On The English Reformation, John Edward Golisch
Bachelor of Divinity

Historical Evidence For Infant Baptism, John D. Frey
Historical Evidence For Infant Baptism, John D. Frey
Bachelor of Divinity
Shortly before He ascended into heaven, Jesus gave this command: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. The Book of Acts presents this command in action. “So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls” But nowhere in Scripture do we find the specific command, "Baptize infants.” Nor do we find a statement which specifically says that infants were baptized. This has caused many people to wonder about infants. Are they also to …
Origen's Doctrine Of God As Relected In De Principiis, Carl A. Volz
Origen's Doctrine Of God As Relected In De Principiis, Carl A. Volz
Bachelor of Divinity
Although Origen's theology in the narrow, sense can hardly be called a synthesis of Christian dogma in the third century, yet an appreciation of him as a systematician requires an acquaintance with the theology of his predecessors. De Principiis did not evolve spontaneously from the mind of this great Alexandrian, but consciously or unconsciously drew upon the speculations and the formulations of the Fathers. For this reason a section has been included giving in very brief detail the theological atmosphere of the century preceding Origen, ending with his great North African contemporary, Tertullian.
The Interdenominational Relations Of The United Lutheran Church In America, Carl Bornmann
The Interdenominational Relations Of The United Lutheran Church In America, Carl Bornmann
Bachelor of Divinity
Among the various American Lutheran bodies, the United Lutheran Church in America is one of the best examples of a large communion which officially acknowledges the Symbols of Lutheranism and at the same time maintains a relative extensive series of relationships with various interdenominational Christian groups. This study will ignore the simple question: do these activities constitute unionism? Instead, this study will ask more objective question which cannot be answered with a simple (and often dogmatic) yes or no.
The Formation Of The United Church Of Canada, Milton H. Riemer
The Formation Of The United Church Of Canada, Milton H. Riemer
Bachelor of Divinity
After twenty-five years of negotiations between the Methodist, Congregational, and Presbyterian Churches of Canada, the organic union of these three bodies into The United Church of Canada was consummated on June 10, 1925. This thesis shall deal primarily with the twenty-five years preceding the union. Of necessity we shall have to look briefly at the present-day characteristics of The United Church of Canada if we wish to arrive at any conclusions regarding the success or failure of the venture. Furthermore, since this is to be primarily an historical presentation, there are large areas regarding these twenty-five years before union which …
A Comparison Of The Code Of Hammurabi And Mosaic Law, Ernst R. Pflug
A Comparison Of The Code Of Hammurabi And Mosaic Law, Ernst R. Pflug
Bachelor of Divinity
As the title of this thesis indicates, the problem we wish to explore is the apparent similarities between the Code of Hammurabi and the Mosaic Law. We want to explore both bodies of law and take note of the apparent similarities, and then try to account for them. In the search for a better understanding of the similarities, we shall not limit ourselves to the texts of the two codes but we shall also consider the historical background, cultures, and personalities responsible for them.
The World Of Jesus In The Words Of Jesus, Robert L. Einspahr
The World Of Jesus In The Words Of Jesus, Robert L. Einspahr
Bachelor of Divinity
The scope of this thesis is limited to the words of Jesus as found in a Red-letter edition of the Authorized Version of the Bible. From these words of Jesus, terms and phrases were chosen that had, or appeared to have allusions to the world of the first century after Christ. These terms and phrases were then arranged into related categories as indicated by the chapter headings. Intensive reading was then done in the works and writings of missionaries and travelers in Palestine, of professional archaeologists and Orientalists. In this reading special attention was given to data which shed light …

The purpose of this study is to give to the reader a history of Lutheran secondary education as it developed in St. Louis. The study may prove to be a review for those who are acquainted with the Lutheran high school question in this city, and, at the same time, it may fill certain gaps within the framework of the entire picture for those who are not familiar with it.
History Of The India Mission Of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod 1945-1957, James Arthur Fergin
History Of The India Mission Of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod 1945-1957, James Arthur Fergin
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of the research presented in the following pages is to enable the writer to serve in a better capacity as a missionary in a foreign country. The collecting and correlating of the various factors in the development and history of the India Mission during the past thirteen years has been a wonderful opportunity for greater preparation in entering foreign mission work. Another purpose for this research is to bring the history of our Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod’s India Mission to a close. Missionary Elmer E. Griesse presented a thesis to Washington University, St. Louis, on the history of the …
