Use Of Illustrative Materials In The Young People's Department Of The Church, Arthur W. Binford

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Visual aids have played an important part in teaching methods of both the public schools and the church schools of today. Teachers would be under a great handicap if they could not use some kind of a visual aid to guide their teaching, especially in the beginners, primary, and junior departments of both the church and public schools. Visual aids are used in the public schools in the intermediate and high school age groups, but they have not been used in these departments in the church to a very large extent. The church has not provided adequate materials for this …

An Analysis And Evaluation Of Religious Testing, Stephen A. Watkins

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There has developed in the field of secular education the extensive and successful use of testing devices to both measure and improve classroom instruction. These devices, too numerous to name, not only measure achievement, but also aptitude, personality, intelligence, personnel and many other factors. Religious education at one time made an effort to employ these devices but failed.

Therefore, the following questions need to be considered: (1) what were the trends of religious education when religious testing was first used? (2) what general attitude stimulated test development? (3) why was this movement abandoned in religious education while secular education continued …

A Historical Study Of Church Music Reform, Glen M. Buffman

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Music has been and is an integral part of the life of the Christian Church. History reveals that from the very beginning of the Church, and on through the ensuing centuries, music has played a vital role in the worship of the Church, and has even had a part in the development of the expression of the Christian faith.

The contemporary Christian Church has evidences of producing a complex pattern of church music which is unprecedented in history. In the first place the church life of today has rapidly become decentralized, through the increasing emphasis on departmentalization of the Church …

The Doctrine Of Inspiration Of Scripture As Affected By The Jonannine-Synoptic Problem, Charles B. Morgan

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The theory which stresses that inspiration is at the level of words alone has caused problems to arise as textual and literary criticism is applied to the Bible. These problems focus attention on the nature of Biblical inspiration. It is the quality of inspiration which gives authority to the Bible. An authority must speak a word which is final and cannot be controverted. It must be, in some real way, inerrant and infallible. The nature of authority demands this. Thus, by logical necessity the Bible has been declared inerrant and infallible in order to sustain its' authority in respect …

A Layman's Guide To The Pauline Epistles, Eric L. Kallis

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Much has been written on the subject of New Testament Introduction. An investigation disclosed the astonishing and revealing fact, that most of the Introductions which could be recommended to laymen were in old books which were no longer in print. It was also discovered that some which were available for laymen, were too brief in content as well as inadequate for comprehension. Some of the books were in too fine a print to attract the layman. Most introductions do not contain the message of the several epistles. Thus this study was undertaken.

A Study Of Isaiah's Use Of The Term Servant, Lowell Williamson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

This study is an attempt to clarify the wealth of material written on the subject of the servant, because so many adverse options have arisen. The recent findings of the Qumran Literature, or the Dead Sea Scrolls, has given opportunity to re-examine the interpretations of the servant passages. Very little material of significance is added to the study from the Qumran Literature, though the probable interpretation of the servant held by the Qumran community may be deducted from the literature. One result of these findings has been the greater confidence in the Hebrew Massoretic Text, now known to be the …

The Unity Of The Book Of Isaiah As It Is Reflected In The New Testament Writings, Theodore F. Dockter

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The education of the minister is made rather complex by the great volume of materials and books that are made available to him. Many of these books that are being published follow the critical view while others present the Biblical view. The reader of these books must decide what he shall accept as true.

Many books have been published about Isaiah.. Some have held to the unity of Isaiah, while others have tried to disprove it and have torn the book apart. Most of the books that have been written have dealt with the problem from the Old Testament standpoint. …

A Study Of Isaiah's Use Of The Term Servant, Lowell Williamson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "In the eighteenth century, when the unity of the prophecy of Isaiah began to be questioned, a new wave of critical studies ensued. Among these were many views expressed concerning what was called Deutero-Isaiah (chapters 40-66). The dating of this section of Isaiah greatly affected the interpretation of the prophecies, especially those connected with the exile and all future events. As the early fervor to prevent workable theories of interpretation for those prophesies developed, it was evident that there was more unity to the writings of this section than had previously been held."

A Christian Teaching Concerning Bodily Healing, F. Bruce Chamberlain

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem of this thesis is to formulate a Christian teaching concerning bodily healing.

This study is important because many passages of scripture refer to bodily healing. One cannot overlook this area of truth and still have a general knowledge of scripture.

Again, this problem deserves serious attention because it is one of interest to every Christian. Many are directly faced with this problem when sickness or physical break-down overtakes them. Those who are spared this, meet the problem indirectly as sickness comes to some loved one. Thus this problem is more than a mere academic one, but is a …
