An Evaluation Of The Place Occupied By The Greek Pastoral Elegy From Its Earliest Appearance To The Present, Alfred Carney

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

To the student versed in the classics the influence of Greek and Latin pastoral poetry on English Literature is well known. Starting at the time of the Italian Renaissance and encouraged by the Greek Revival several centuries later, the classical influence has permeated our literature more than any other factor. During the time of the Renaissance pastoral poetry had a place of importance equal to that of the equip and the drama. The sweet melodies of Greek rural life reechoed in the eclogues of Vergil had such a charm for later poets that they could not be resisted. Pastoral poetry …

Paul As Citizen, W Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Does the subject need on apology Paul stands before us as the evangelizer of the Greco-Roman world, the greatest missionary that ever lived, as the preacher of righteousness by faith, as the great champion of the doctrine of grace, as the inspired penman of a great part of our New Testament, and to treat of him in the role of citizen might seem a descent from the sublime to the commonplace. But there are passages in the Bible in which he is depicted in this role. You cannot ignore them; they are there for a purpose and certainly must receive …

The Roman Catacombs, Conrad A.E. Saskowski

Bachelors’ Theses

One day in May 15-78, some laborers digging in the "pozzolano" on the Via Salerna two miles from the wall of Rome, went at their work so industriously as to fall into the Galleries that were banked with graves. Great as the astonishment of the age to find the existence of a city of the dead beneath the suburbs of Rome, and many were the people who flocked to see it. Since the tenth century the Catacombs had lain forsaken and forgotten but from this time on they were the most interesting curiosity in Italy.

The Latin Church Of North Africa In The Age Of Tertullian And Cyprian, Luther V. Stephan

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

We shall attempt to present.in outline practically all that concerned itself with or was in any was affected by this church during this period. The treatment of the various chapter heads makes no claim to exhaustiveness; each caption could bear appreciable detail were this thesis to assume the proportions of a book.

John Milton's Conception Of Music, Lotys Benning

Graduate Thesis Collection

The nature of music has been defined as the uttering and arousing of emotions by successions and combinations of regulated sound, that of poetry as the representation or arousing of emotions by means of verbal signs arranged with musical regularity.  Thus it will be seen that the two arts, having the same purpose, are closely allied, and may be considered interdependent.

Some Significant Phases Of Justin Martyr In The Development Of Early Christianity, Elmer G. Homrighausen

Graduate Thesis Collection

The original inspiration to undertake this study issues from composite sources.  Undoubtedly, in the last analysis, it was implanted by the personalities of great teachers, whose contagious enthusiasm for Christian history I contracted early in my theological and later graduate study.  Great teachers, who are intimately acquainted with the ongoing currents of Christian life through the centuries, who have developed a love for the Christian movement, whose mature scholarship gives them the power to discern the real essence of the Christian religion in its historic expressions, these are still the keys to the real understanding of Church history, these are …

The Position Of Roman Women, Eleanor Marie Rice

Bachelors’ Theses

Historians have for the most part neglected, the Roman lady. They have made the history of the Roman Empire a chronicle of men’s activities and rightly so. It was the fathers, husbands, and brothers who fought for their rights and made Rome the most powerful nation, supreme over all the other countries in the world. The Romans engaged in commerce with the countries in the East and carried on a brisk intercourse with them, for which they became renowned.

Holiness And The Greek Tongue, Newton Wray

Books by Taylor faculty, staff, and administrators

The advent of Jesus Christ occurred at a date described as "the fulness of time," signifying not only an hour for the fulfillment of prophecy but also that providential preparation which predisposed to the reception of Christianity and facilitated its spread among men.

The factors in this preparation may be included under four general heads:

1. The moral state of the world.
2. The Roman Empire.
3. The Greek language.
4. The location of Jewish Synagogues everywhere.

Hellenism And Christianity, Philip Albrecht

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this thesis is to show the relation of Hellenism to Christianity. It will deal especially with the action and influence of the one upon the other in the Apostolic Age. It would he hardly possible that two such great movements as Hellenism and Christianity could exist at the same time without affecting one another.

The Early Life Of St. Paul, E F. Kavasch

Bachelor of Divinity

Our Lord, on His departure from this earth, gave the great missionary command, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations." Shortly after, we hear of small established congregations, of one heart and one soul, continuing steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers. However these conditions were restricted to small circles, for among the majority of the Jews, the gospel had made little headway. There were the Sadducees, the wealthy class of Epicureans, denying resurrection and judgment; there were the Pharisees, zealous for the law it is true, but having an entirely carnal …
