The Doctrine Of The Church According To The Ephesians With A Preliminary Disscussion On The Word Ekklesia, Fred T. Eggert
The Doctrine Of The Church According To The Ephesians With A Preliminary Disscussion On The Word Ekklesia, Fred T. Eggert
Bachelor of Divinity
All the doctrines of the Church should have a solid foundation, a sedes doctrine, in the Scripture. This is particularly true of the doctrine of the Church. The Epistle to the Ephesians is, without doubt, the best characterization of the Church in all the Scripture. Evidently it was Paul's special purpose to give the whole church a clear picture of itself in this letter.

The Doctrine Of The Holy Ghost According To St Paul, Edward Saleska
The Doctrine Of The Holy Ghost According To St Paul, Edward Saleska
Bachelor of Divinity
The doctrine or the Holy Spirit is fundamental in Christian teaching. The Holy Spirit’s ministry is intimately bound up in the doctrine of the Trinity and is an all-important factor in the life of the Christian. It makes all the difference in the world as to what a man believes regarding the Holy Ghost and whether or not he has an intelligent understanding of what the Spirit is ready to do for him in his life.
The Doctrine Of Regeneration As Seen Especially In Romans 6:1-14, Eugene Klug
The Doctrine Of Regeneration As Seen Especially In Romans 6:1-14, Eugene Klug
Bachelor of Divinity
Regeneration in the Epistle to the Romans: that is the problem before us for our consideration. Does Paul speak of regeneration at all in this epistle? There are those who hold that he does not, while others maintain that he does. Still others, unable to decide one way or the other, attempt to adopt a middle course, thereby becoming hopelessly enmeshed in doctrinal and exegetical confusion. The problem resolves itself still further into a dispute over one passage, ch. 6, 1-14, which is only section of Paul’s well planned letter which could – and which does, if I may anticipate …
The Gnosticism Opposed And Condemed In The New Testament, Erwin Lueker
The Gnosticism Opposed And Condemed In The New Testament, Erwin Lueker
Bachelor of Divinity
It is our purpose in this thesis to trace the movement in the form in which it is opposed and condemned in the New Testament, and, if possible, find external information on these movements. Although many of the passages which condemn false teachers may have been written against gnostics, we shall deal only with those in which gnostic tendencies are revealed.
A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann
A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann
Bachelor of Divinity
Of all the conflicts which Christianity passed through in the early stages of its history, that with philosophy seems to have been the most severe and the most far-reaching in its effects. Judaism was firm and self-reliant, because it was in a sense supernatural; Gentilism was pliable, because it was ignorant and weary of itself; but philosophy was obstinate, because, regarding religions as superstitions, it recognized no special merit in Christianity, and attempted to ridicule it out of existence when its unprepared defenders first announced it. With the representatives of the Epicurean, Stoic and New Academic schools, or with the …
The Doctrine Of Baptism In The Epistles Of St. Paul, Clarence W. Stradtmann
The Doctrine Of Baptism In The Epistles Of St. Paul, Clarence W. Stradtmann
Bachelor of Divinity
When discussing the doctrine of baptism in any New Testament writing we must first come to an agreement on the one point on which an important part of the argument hinges, namely, the exact meaning of the word.
The Christology Of St. Paul's Captivity Letters, Luther V. Stephan
The Christology Of St. Paul's Captivity Letters, Luther V. Stephan
Bachelor of Divinity
I purpose, therefore, to write on the Christology of Paul's captivity letters. My general plan of procedure shall be to tabulate in categorical fashion the sum of the christological doctrines taught by Paul in these same letters, with appended remarks for the purpose of clarification. Uppermost in my mind shall be the expounding of the truth as it is so powerfully adduced in these inspired epistles. I shall determine to defeat and expose the heretical doctrines after careful collation of the source material, The scope of my treatment shall begin with the pre-existent Christ in heaven, take special notice of …
The Doctrine Of The Resurrection According To The New Testament, Gustav Gehlhar
The Doctrine Of The Resurrection According To The New Testament, Gustav Gehlhar
Bachelor of Divinity
The doctrine of the resurrection of the body is a teaching peculiar to the Christian religion. We need only to investigate the world's religious history in order to be convinced that all other religions know nothing about such a resurrection.
The Doctrine Of Resurrection Unto Life Eternal As Presented By St. Paul In His First Espistle To The Corinthians, Walter Enge
The Doctrine Of Resurrection Unto Life Eternal As Presented By St. Paul In His First Espistle To The Corinthians, Walter Enge
Bachelor of Divinity
First a brief word in regard to the word resurrection. Whenever we shall speak of the resurrection, we shall always mean the resurrection of the body. Moreover we shall limit ourselves in this discussion to the resurrection unto life eternal, because this is the resurrection that is of such vital concern to us and to all Christians. This resurrection, not that of the wicked, was the one concerning which Paul desired to instruct the Corinthians. Therefore he speaks of the resurrection unto life eternal almost exclusively when treating the doctrine of the resurrection in his First Epistle to the Corinthians. …
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 …
