What Does "Inerrancy" Mean?, Arthur Carl Piepkorn

This paper is primarily a terminological study rather than a theological one. It inquires into the meaning of, rather than into the justification for, a term that has become a staple of dogmatic discussion in our own and other denominations.

The Value Of Literature In Lutheran Catechetics, David Lange
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The purpose of this paper, then, is to investigate the nature, functions, and objectives of literature; to explore and delineate its congruencies with and contradictions of the nature, functions, and objectives of Lutheran catechetics; and finally to assess its value for the catechetical enterprise and determine whether it warrants the construction of a literature-oriented program of catechetics within The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod.
The Meaning Of Dikaioō, William Beck
The Meaning Of Dikaioō, William Beck
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
In this exegetical study we shall try to find a clear Biblical definition of dikailoō. We shall examine the background of dikaioō: the basic meaning of righteousness, the righteousness of God as His purpose in this world, and the work of Christ, as the righteous Servant. Then we shall examine dikaioō as a forensic term: What is its forensic meaning as Scripture defines it? Is it only "declare righteous?” Is it also “make righteous?” What must we say of God's verdict in Justification, since God's word is always true and effective?

An Analysis Of Clericalim In Some Philippine Church Bodies As An Obstacle To Lay Activty In The Lutheran Church In The Philippines, Norbert Becker
An Analysis Of Clericalim In Some Philippine Church Bodies As An Obstacle To Lay Activty In The Lutheran Church In The Philippines, Norbert Becker
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The present study is born out of the conviction that, humanly speaking, the future of the Lutheran Church in the Philippines, and that of any Christian body for that matter, lies in a vitally active laity. It is also born out of a bit of experience that has seen what laymen can do when properly stimulated and guided. The study is made also in the belief that the clergy themselves to a large extent hold the key to a genuinely active laity and that they can be a tremendous influence either positively or negatively.

Congregational Renewal Through Adult Education, Lester Nilson
Congregational Renewal Through Adult Education, Lester Nilson
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The problem expressed in the title of this thesis is not a new one. Ever since man rejected fellowship with God the need for renewal has been a concern of God's people. The exploration of the basis for and the possibility of such renewal among and within God's people has been studied in every generation, but the need for restatement and reevaluation will remain a necessary procedure as long as man lives in the world.

Concordia Theological Monthly
In response to the 1962 All-Asia Conference of missions affiliated with The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, the Synod in convention in Cleveland, Ohio, encouraged the Board for World Missions to "upgrade its seminaries" in Asia and to "bring recommendations on the establishment of a graduate seminary in the Orient to the next convention of the Synod" (Resolution 2-22, 1963 Proceedings, p.98). The Board for World Missions, therefore, sponsored a second All-Asia Conference at Baguio City Philippines (Oct. 19-29, 1964), to which 26 persons were invited, including representatives from six Asia countries and training centers, the India Evangelical Lutheran Church, …
