The Life And Teachings Of John The Baptist, Reinhold Mueller
The Life And Teachings Of John The Baptist, Reinhold Mueller
Bachelor of Divinity
Thus it is the office of John• which we honor. The office of John was first of all to make the world humble, to call people to repentance and make them confess their sins, that is, to preach the Law. Secondly he was to preach forgiveness of sins and salvation, the sweet Gospel with all it’s comfort. Therefore he who reads Walther's "Gesets und Evangelium" may do well to study the teachings of John at the same time, and he will find it an excellent collateral reading tor his study. Of course we know that there are extremes on both …
St Paul's Use Of The Word Πνευμα, Paul Meyer
St Paul's Use Of The Word Πνευμα, Paul Meyer
Bachelor of Divinity
No one who studies the writings of St. Paul for any length of time can fail to note the frequent recurrence of this word and the importance which attaches to a correct understanding of its various shades of meaning. It occurs 149 times in the thirteen letters commonly ascribed to Paul, and, while there is in a study of Paul's conception of ηνε̂υμα a rich supply of material for investigation alike by the philosopher, the philologist, and the theologian, it is in the last field that its greatest value lies. Without a correct understanding of what Paul meant by the …
The Social Outlook Of The Lutheran Church, Richard Huegli
The Social Outlook Of The Lutheran Church, Richard Huegli
Bachelor of Divinity
I am not writing with the thought of instituting a church-wide swing toward the "social Gospel ", or even with the hope of a sudden plunge of the church into the sphere of sociology. Our church is definitely Scriptural, so it is my purpose to bring out on the basis of the biblical background for social work, the extent into which our church has delved into social service, and a few humble suggestions for greater service to man and thus to God. It is the hope that such specific emphasis upon our present labors in this field will make us …
Gnosticism And Its Conflict With Christianity, Gerhardt Nitz
Gnosticism And Its Conflict With Christianity, Gerhardt Nitz
Bachelor of Divinity
The study of such a movement as Gnosticism is doubly important to the student of' theology. This is a phase of history which greatly influenced the church in its infancy. It has left marks upon the church which will never be erased. Moreover, a study of this heresy is essential for the proper understanding of the New Testament. Again, the influence of Gnosticism, as will be pointed out later continued for many centuries. Such a deeply rooted, powerful, paganistic tendency cannot be lightly passed by.
An Introductory Study Of The Terms Used Of Idols In The Old Testament, Roland Dede
An Introductory Study Of The Terms Used Of Idols In The Old Testament, Roland Dede
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis, as is implied in the title, is to present an introductory study of the terns used of idols in the Old Testament. It is needless to say that no attempt has been made even to approximate an exhaustive presentation of all, or any single one of the forty-eight terms which cone into consideration. Indeed, almost any one of the terms would be found upon thorough study in itself to provide sufficient material for an acceptable thesis. We have, therefore, confined our attention to just those facts which we thought were strictly essential for at least …
A Comparison Of Ephesians With Colossians, Martin Haendschke
A Comparison Of Ephesians With Colossians, Martin Haendschke
Bachelor of Divinity
In beginning a study of these two epistles of St. Paul one begins to understand what is meant by the “unfathomable wisdom or God.” As one delves deeper into the text, one must certainly realize that our human wisdom is indeed puny and inadequate; in fact, not even worthy to be termed wisdom! However, this is not to be a dissertation on the wisdom of man, nor is it in the least way to indicate that man can fully understand these great truths of Scripture as we find them in these two beautifully written epistles, but it is to attempt …
God's Manifestation As Jehovah In Exodus 3-15, 18, Willis Laetsch
God's Manifestation As Jehovah In Exodus 3-15, 18, Willis Laetsch
Bachelor of Divinity
It is remarkable that in the first two chapters of Exodus the expression "the Lord” is not once used. There only "God" is found; cp. the last three verses of chapter 2, where "God" is used five times in quick succession. Due to this notable lack of "the Lord" and the predominance of "God" in Genesis and the first two chapters of Exodus, critics have devised the theory of two authors, the Elohist and the Jahvist, the former in his record using the expression Elohim and the latter Jahweh. However, that is only the rationalistic point of view. In comparison …
The Work Of The Holy Ghost In The Pauline Epistles With Special Reference To Enthusism, Norbert Mueller
The Work Of The Holy Ghost In The Pauline Epistles With Special Reference To Enthusism, Norbert Mueller
Bachelor of Divinity
Ever since the beginning of the Christian Church, Satan has tried to corrupt also this precious doctrine. In this treatise we shall consider, above all, one perversion of the doctrine of the work of the Holy Ghost, namely, the error of Enthusiasm, which our Confessions describe as the folly of "fanatical men, who dream that the Holy Ghost is given not through the Word, but because of certain preparation of their own, if they sit unoccupied and silent in obscure places, waiting for illumination, as the Enthusiasts formerly taught and the Anabaptists now teach.”
Monasticism- Its Interest In The Missions Of The Middle Ages, Herman Klann

The method and reasons for the conversion of the Germanic tribes to Chrisitanity.
Predestination According To Ephesians 1, 3-14, Delvin Ressel
Predestination According To Ephesians 1, 3-14, Delvin Ressel
Bachelor of Divinity
The last of these expressions shall form the basis for the outline of the present treatise, in this slightly altered form: "Eternal election of grace in Christ Jesus responsible for all the spiritual blessings of Justification, conversion, sanctification, and preservation." Part One will deal with, the Decree of Election, or Election in Eternity, while Part Two will deal with the Execution of this Decree, or Election in Time. Each part will treat the respective terms of the definition according to "Definition" and. "Proof."
The Use Of Illustrations In Christian Preaching, Armand Ulbrich
The Use Of Illustrations In Christian Preaching, Armand Ulbrich
Bachelor of Divinity
One of the devices which preachers throughout the centuries have employed to bring their message to the hearts of the people more clearly and forcefully is Illustration. Christ used illustrations. Paul used illustrations, Cbrysotom, Augustin, and Luther used illustrations, and so do the great preachers of today. We, too, in our preaching should use illustrations. We should use them as effectively as possible. It is the purpose of this paper to present the principals involved in the effective use of illustrations in Christian preaching and to show how these principles are to be applied.
The New Testament Canon In The Apostolic Fathers, Howard Schoenfeldt
The New Testament Canon In The Apostolic Fathers, Howard Schoenfeldt
Bachelor of Divinity
This work is an independent investigation into the question of the New Testament canon in the Apostolic Fathers, and has been regarded as an original research problem. Therefore there are no references to the monumental works of Westcott, Zahn, and others in this field. Again, the purpose has been to establish the knowledge which the Fathers possessed on the basis of citations from them, and to let their words speak for themselves.
