The Trichotomy (Of Soul, Mind, Body) According To Scripture, Richard Albert Jesse

Bachelor of Divinity

It was therefore as a consequence of this controversy that the latent heretical tendencies of the trichotomous doctrine were for the first time fully discovered, and dichotomy was urged by the Church not only as true doctrine, but also as the antidote for this specific heresy. Especially has dichotomy been championed by the Western Church, whose teachers have been, as a rule, advocates of the two element view. This is true also of Luther and the older dogmaticians. While the question is today scarcely a burning issue, yet it seems still to have champions for each side.

Chronology Of The Life Of St. Paul, P F. Plunkett

Bachelor of Divinity

Though properly an historical rather than a theological problem, the chronology of Paul's life is important in the field of Bible study, and is closely related to several theological questions, including that of the reliability of Scripture and the authenticity of several books accepted by the church as canonical. Its treatment is historical, but much of the freedom for specualtion indulged in by the average student of history is denied the scholar who treats this subject. Anything which cannot be established with reasonable certainty must be left an open question, and the integrity of the Scripture must remain unmolested.

A Compairison Of Dr. Carl Ferdinand Wiilhelm Walther And Dr. Joseph Agusustus Seiss As Preachers, E H. Buchheimer

Bachelor of Divinity

In making a comparison between Dr. Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther, (1811 - 1887) and Dr. Joseph Augustus Seiss,(1823 - 1904) as masters of sacred rhetoric in the American Lutheran pulpit, we must, in order to come to a clear understanding of these men as preachers, take into consideration their early training and the times in which they lived, when the Lutheran Church was just beginning to take root in this country and when preachers and sermons played a different part in congregational life, than they do today.

A study of the early years of their lives shows that a divine …

Mormonism And The Bible, Edwin G. Guebert

Bachelor of Divinity

The inception or Mormonism took place in 1830, when on the 6th of April of that year Joseph Smith Jr. organized the “Church of Jesus Christ or the Latter Day Saints" at Fayette, Seneca County, New York. In November of the same year Sidney Rigdon, a preacher of the Reformed Baptists or Campbellites at Mentor, Ohio, joined the new sect with the majority of his congregation. Since the West seemed to the Mormons to be the land of their future destiny, Smith and his followers moved in that direction and settled at Kirtland, Ohio. This took place in the year …

The Doctrine Of The Sacraments In The Apostolic Fathers, Louis Breitenbuecher, Louis F. Brighton

Bachelor of Divinity

What is the teaching of the Apostolic Fathers concerning the sacraments? What do they teach of Baptism and of the Lord’s Supper? Is the number of sacraments restricted to two or is there reason to believe that the Romish Church finds in these writings ground for its teaching of seven sacraments? In treating first on Baptism and then on the Lord’s Supper these questions will be taken care of.

The Doctrinal Contents Of Acts, Walter G. Dippold

Bachelor of Divinity

Our aim in this work shall be, to present Luke's stand on the main heads of christian doctrine and at the same time, to show that his teaching is wholly in harmony with the other New Testament writers. As was stated in the opening words of our thesis, the source on which we shall base our discussion is solely and specifically, the book of Acts. It is therefore selfevident, that when limited to one specific book of the Bible, not every detail in the field of christian doctrine can be treated. In accordance with the limitation of our theme, we …

Christian Doctrine According To The Book Of Acts, Arthur William Klinck

Bachelor of Divinity

The first point which strikes the reader of this book is that it purports to have been written by the author of a "former treatise” (Acts 1:1) addressed to the same person, Theophilus; a treatise which gave an account of all the Acts and words of the Lord from the beginning to the conclusion of His earthly ministry, terminated by His ascension. There is only one Gospel which this description will fit, the Gospel of Luke, which is dedicated to the same man, Theophilus. The progress of thought from Luke to Acts is quite logical. Luke ends with the ascension …
