The Christology Of Acts, George F. Horn
The Christology Of Acts, George F. Horn
Bachelor of Divinity
The book of Acts was written mainly for history so we would not expect to find much doctrine in it. And yet it is full of doctrine. For this we must thank the Holy Spirit who has preserved it to us by inspiration. St. Luke was inspired with the information necessary to the recording of the speeches we find in the book. These speeches are the chief sources of doctrine in this book though not the only ones. A study of the book for any one doctrine reveals incidentally many other doctrines. This is brought out especially clearly when we …
The Trichotomy (Of Soul, Mind, Body) According To Scripture, Richard Albert Jesse
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.
Mormonism And The Bible, Edwin G. Guebert
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 Doctrinal Contents Of Acts, Walter G. Dippold
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
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 …
