A Recommended One-Year Buddhist Curriculum For High School Seniors In The Buddhist Churches Of America, Laverne Senyo Sasaki
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The present research attempts to discover a type of Buddhist curriculum which will best suit the needs and interests of the high school senior (twelfth grader) Buddhists in the United States. The present Buddhist Churches of America recommended curriculum in use covers only the pre-school through the eighth grades. There is an obvious need for a Buddhist curriculum in the important upper grades. As this proposed curriculum is directed to twelfth graders, the compilation of a curriculum for the other three grades {ninth, tenth, and eleventh) still remains to be completed.
Sacrificial Worship In Ancient Israel And Its Fulfillment In Jesus Christ, Samuel Richard Baglien
Sacrificial Worship In Ancient Israel And Its Fulfillment In Jesus Christ, Samuel Richard Baglien
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
During recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the study of the historical and religious values of the Old Testament. Christians everywhere seem to have become obsessed with an inherent thirst for a better understanding of this great book and the faith it teaches. This renewed desire to probe into the rich background of Semitic culture that is the very historical foundation of Christianity seems to have been brought about by two distinct and quite general conditions.
The first and most obvious condition is the age in which we are living--the age of science. Today, this age is …

Language Training For Missionaries, Laurence Mcpherson Farr
Language Training For Missionaries, Laurence Mcpherson Farr
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Every foreign missionary is confronted with one basic task. Without its successful accomplishment his work as a missionary will fail. It is the task of learning the language of the people among whom he is working. However laudable his motives may be, however great his consecration, and however capable he may be in many tasks, if he fails to gain the ability to understand readily speech addressed to him or to communicate his own thoughts intelligibly and accurately to them, he is working behind a closed door — a door which he failed to unlock,
It is the purpose of …
A Suggested Program For Extended Sessions To Be Incorporated Into The General Program For Christian Education Of Juniors In The Evangelical Mission Covenant Church, Alva M. Johanson
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
As we look upon education today we notice quite a different emphasis form that of even twenty-five years ago, when the accumulation of much knowledge and many skills was the chief objective. There is a noticeable decrease in emphasis on the accumulation of facts for facts sake, and the curriculum has been enlivened by the utilization of real-life situations.
In spite of these various efforts we realize that we are still devoting far too little time to the Christian education of boys and girls. It is, therefore, the purpose of this thesis to present a week-day extended program to supplement …
Recreation In The Church : An Analysis And A Prospectus, Lawton Delmar Harris
Recreation In The Church : An Analysis And A Prospectus, Lawton Delmar Harris
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In a measure, the thesis seeks to bring together a consideration of the program and problems from both the secular and religious viewpoints. The two are based upon the same psychological needs of humanity, but the two fields have become isolated in their fundamental approaches. The secular books barely mention the church and its programs. They have a tendency to regard the church as a "has-been.. in the field. They imply that the church should conduct "religious" services and leave recreation to the agencies. To this the writer cannot give agreement. On the other hand, many of the books written …

The Function Of The Priest And Of The Prophet In The Propatation Of Religion, Charles Ernest Davis
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
As one peers across the vistas of the past two types of holy men stand out with striking prominence and significance. The advance of religious thought and life has largely been due to the activities and contributions of these two, the priest and the prophet.

The Child's Bible, Leonidas Latimer Loofbourow
The Child's Bible, Leonidas Latimer Loofbourow
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Every lover of scripture takes a Bible for himself within our larger one. He may read the 60 books from a sense of duty or profit, but there are portions that he loves, which he reads time and again. Those are the Bible within the Bible that he has made for himself. Any Bible used long and effectively by one person has this story to tell. Torn edges, pencillngs, thumbmarks plentiful here, and large sections of clean pages there show what the owner may never have dreamed, that he has his personal edition of our common Bible. This is inevitable. …
