Portent And Providence- An Investigation Of The Puritan Habit Of Deciphering The Will Of God In The Natural And The Preternatural With Special Reference To "The Scarlet Letter" By Nathaniel Hawthorne, Milton Sernett
Master of Divinity Thesis
This paper has something to do with both Puritan history and Nathaniel Hawthorne. As originally conceived it was entitled The Puritan Prolapsis: A Study in the Conception and Collapse of the "Holy Commonwealth," with Special Reference to the Interpretation of Nathaniel Hawthorne. It was to have been an attempt to isolate the basis, both experiential and theological, for the "Holy Commonwealth" and to determine what undermined the colony, especially as to the tension between the individual and the society in New England. However, after a good deal of research, it was found that such a problem would force a consideration …

The Counselor's Role In Encouraging The Adolescent To Christian Love With Special Reference To Carl Rogers' Theory Of Counseling, James Laatsch
Master of Divinity Thesis
One of the most repeated injunctions in the New Testament is that Christians should love one another. Accordingly, an important objective of Christian education is that the Christian understand and put love into practice in his life. "Love is the dominant motive and central emotion of the Christian life."1 In this paper the writer will examine how Christian love may be encouraged in a specific age group, adolescents. Only one aspect of encouraging Christian love, namely by interpersonal relations, will be considered. More specifically, the study will treat the youth counselor's part in encouraging Christian love in adolescents.

The Thematic Structure Of The Third Book Of Matthew, Michael Gruel
The Thematic Structure Of The Third Book Of Matthew, Michael Gruel
Master of Divinity Thesis
The scope of this paper is somewhat obvious from its title. It will deal with the Third Book of Matthew. This is a title used to designate that which most commentators have set apart as the third major section of Matthew's Gospel, chapters 11 to 13:52. Since it may be necessary to lay a little groundwork, part of the second chapter will deal with the structure of Matthew, specifically that which outlines the Gospel on the basis of its five major sections.
The Concept Of Doubt In The New Testament, Charles Lentner
The Concept Of Doubt In The New Testament, Charles Lentner
Master of Divinity Thesis
The purpose of this research paper is to present the New Testament concept of doubt. Such a study necessitates a detailed examination of the various words that directly or indirectly mean or refer to doubt. By the word "doubt" is not meant an intellectual inquiry in search fora greater understanding—every Christian must do this to grow in the knowledge of his faith. Rather, by "doubt" is meant a wavering between faith and unbelief wherein one’s reason and personal desires try to be autonomous. Some Greek words can be translated directly into the word “doubt." If only these words were studied, …
