The Serpent Motif In Genesis 3: Some Systematic Implications Drawn From Its Place In The Thought Of Early Israel, John Gienapp
The Serpent Motif In Genesis 3: Some Systematic Implications Drawn From Its Place In The Thought Of Early Israel, John Gienapp
Master of Divinity Thesis
This paper will attempt to explore the meaning of the serpent in Canaanite culture to see if it is likely that the writer of Genesis 3 was opposing Canaanite religion. This paper will first mention some of them any parallels betoken Canaanite and Israelite religion, pointing out particularly the continuing syncretism among the Israelites. Then by an examination of archaeological materials from Palestine, supported by other archaeological data from the Mediterranean area, an attempt will be made to state the meaning of the serpent in Canaanite religion. If it can be shown possible that the serpent in Genesis 3reflects a …
Oscar Cullmann's Concept Of Time, John Fuchs
Oscar Cullmann's Concept Of Time, John Fuchs
Master of Divinity Thesis
In the foreword to the second edition of his book Christ and Time, Oscar Cullmann admits that this work is not intended to answer the questions raised by systematic theology. He goes on, to claim that the giving of such answers is not the real task of a New Testament scholar like himself, nor, in his opinion, should it be. In his own words: Is it not the most valuable service that the New Testament scholar can render to the systematic theologian that he permits the questions that are not solved in the New Testament itself to stand as questions? …
The Eastern Orthodox Doctrine Of Grace With A Lutheran Perspective, James Childs
The Eastern Orthodox Doctrine Of Grace With A Lutheran Perspective, James Childs
Master of Divinity Thesis
The intention of this study is twofold: In the first place, we are attempting to isolate the meaning of "grace” in the Eastern Orthodox Church - if indeed it can be stated in comprehensive form. In the second place, we are attempting to view the Eastern doctrine of grace in a Lutheran perspective. The primary purpose rests in the first phase, the investigation of the Eastern teaching of grace. This purpose is probably best-defined in terms of the writer’s personal enlightenment on the subject rather than in terms of a contribution of new findings. The subsidiary purpose, then, is in …
The View Of Language In The Theology Of Rudolf Bultmann, John Groh
The View Of Language In The Theology Of Rudolf Bultmann, John Groh
Bachelor of Divinity
Chapter I shall serve as a summary for this paper. I take the liberty of speaking in the first person in order to specify what my concern has been, and to summarize the conclusions I have reached, In this study I have attempted to determine what influence Rudolf Bultmann's theology has had upon his usage of language. This attempt has led, simultaneously, to the characterization of his view of language. Finally, I have attempted a critical evaluation of his theology, and with it a concurrent evaluation of the view of language which finds its genesis within that theology.

The Celestial Element In The Sacrament Of The Altar In Contemporary Lutheran Theology (1945-1963), Donald Veitengruber
The Celestial Element In The Sacrament Of The Altar In Contemporary Lutheran Theology (1945-1963), Donald Veitengruber
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This paper does not propose to defend the use of the term "celestial element." The debate which has grown up around the Arnoldshain Theses shows us that we ought not stake the Lutheran or New Testament theology of the Sacrament of the Altar on the use of this term. And yet, it is a good term, for it takes us immediately to the heart of that which separates the Lutheran from the Reformed tradition. Do we only receive bread and wine in the Sacrament, or do we receive something more? This "something" is the "celestial element."

The Theology Of Self-Surrender In The Writings Of E. Stanley Jones, Varghese M. Kattapuram
The Theology Of Self-Surrender In The Writings Of E. Stanley Jones, Varghese M. Kattapuram
Western Evangelical Seminary Theses
This thesis seeks to grapple with one of the most crucial issues confronting Christian theology today, namely, what to make of the insights and discoveries of the newer disciplines of psychology, psychoanalysis, psychiatry, psychotherapy, etc. For a while psychology proceeded as though theology did not exist or as though it were a remnant of the superstitions of a previous age. However, in recent years psychological practitioners outside the church have shown somewhat greater interest in the religious life of their patients and in the role of religious life of their patients and in the role of religious life and practice …
The Origin And Original Meaning Of Sacrificial Blood Offerings As Revealed In The Bible And Modern Scriptures, Theo Emory Mckean
The Origin And Original Meaning Of Sacrificial Blood Offerings As Revealed In The Bible And Modern Scriptures, Theo Emory Mckean
Theses and Dissertations
This study is concerned with the origin and original meaning of sacrificial blood offerings as practiced by the ancient Israelite people and their progenitors. "Modern" scriptural sources including the Pearl of Great Price, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants are used along with the Bible as the basic reference material.
The lack of explicit information in the Bible as to the inception and meaning of sacrifice has resulted in the development of many theories which suggest that this rite had a human beginning. These theories imply that by natural expression man began to seek favor from his …
