Thomas Guthrie, Apostle To The Slums, F. R. Webber

Concordia Theological Monthly

Everybody is aware that Dr. Thomas Guthrie was one of the most noted pulpit orators of the nineteenth century, but the fact is often overlooked that most of his long life was devoted to congregational work in the worst of Edinburgh's slums. He built a spacious church there and a parochial school; and in that district his well-known sermons were preached. They fill most of the sixteen volumes of his collected works, and very few sermon books have enjoyed so large a circulation.

The Philosophy Of Descartes As A Method Of Assurance, Richard Edward Graef

Bachelor of Divinity

Although it is true that many have found fault with Descartes calling his proofs for the existence of God doubtful, and his understanding of the relationship of mind and matter fallacious, he is worthy of study because of his contribution to the doctrine of certainty. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss Descartes’ philosophy as a method of certainty.

The Spheres Of Action Of The Inquisition In The Counter-Reformation, Paul E. Krohn

Bachelor of Divinity

In this paper, we will endeavor to set down the special spheres of action of this institution in regard to the quenching of various heresies which arose within the church. As we refer to the term heretics at various times, let it be understood that we are viewing people as heretics as those who deviated from the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. This will be done only for the sake of clarity, not to prove that they were either wrong or right in their beliefs.

Psychology In The Service Of A Lutheran Pastor, Alfred A. Bodtke

Bachelor of Divinity

Every pastor ought to have some knowledge or psychology. It is true, a pastor is first and foremost a theologian. As a theologian he must learn rightly to interpret the Divine Word and bring its precious truth to the people under his care. In doing this, the pastor through God's grace and help is benefiting his people for time and for eternity. If in addition to being a good theologian, a pastor knows some or the most important principles of psychology, he will the better be able to apply this Word of God, especially so in the case of such …

The Founding And Early Development Of The Lutheran Philippine Mission, John G. Scholz

Bachelor of Divinity

As the title indicates, this thesis represents an attempt of the writer to set forth clearly the events which lead up to the founding and early development of the Philippine Mission. To make this study, it was necessary to read the autobiography of Alvaro Carino and see the mysterious workings of God in directing this man to become a member of the Lutheran Church and eventually the Church's first pioneer Filipino missionary to the Philippines. The present study of the Lutheran Philippine Mission will take the reader up to the end of December, 1951.

Animism In Africa, John Louis Konz

Bachelor of Divinity

In our study, we shall endeavor to trace the origin and development of animism as a theory of the origin of religion, view it in action and consider its effect on the lives and souls of the heathen.

The Natural Knowledge Of God As Revealed In Slovak Mythology, Jan Pavel

Bachelor of Divinity

The natural knowledge of God has always been a subject of great interest for the writer of this thesis. Especially did this interest become pronounced when after engaging in many discussions with learned acquaintances, it became evident that philosophical proofs for the existence of God presented in a logical manner were the only arguments worthy of their consideration. It was with these objectives in mind that the writer approached his chosen topic: 1} to be prepared and qualified to convince genuine seekers after God; 2) to strengthen the faith of believers; 3) to enrich his own knowledge about the nature …

The Epistemology Of Kierkegaard And Its Relation To Dogmatic Theology, Clifford L. Brueggemann

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the presentation and analysis of this epistemological viewpoint to which this paper is dedicated. What does it mean to know the truth, the Christian truth? How is this truth apprehended? What are the implications of this position for Christian dogmatics? The scope of this paper therefore is broad, too broad, really for adequate treatment in a thesis of this size. The paper does, however, try to cover the more obvious phases of this problem, and also to present as much of the background of the problem and of the man as is necessary to gain a reliable insight …

The Concept Of God In Chrisitian Science, George R. Kraus

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose or this paper is, first, to examine Mrs. Eddy's concept in the light of Scripture and to prove that her concept of God is not Scriptural. In this connection it will be necessary to show how Mrs. Eddy uses Scripture passages in a metaphysical and even perverted manner to substantiate her claims. Secondly, we shall compare her concept of God with those or other religious and philosophic systems and demonstrate the falsity of her claim that her concept of of God is unique.

An Outline Of Symbolism In The Bible, Paul E. Schuessler

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis proposes an outline for study in Biblical symbolism by 1) submitting a definition of the subject, its Biblical warrants, and revealing its opportunities for employment; and 2) submitting a workable outline for further analytical study.

An Interpretation Of The Epistle Of St. Jude, William Hassold

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Luther's attitude towards the letter of Jude, as he himself says, was influenced by three factors: 1) its close resemblance to part of 2 Peter; 2) its use of material found nowhere else in Scripture; 3) its rejection by many of the Church fathers. We shall have to consider each of these matters in formulating our opinion of the letter of Jude.

The Religious Beliefs And Practices Of The Ancient Slavs, George Dolak

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The religion of the pagan Slavs seems to have been a purely domestic religion with the idea of a state religion not entering into the S1avic concept of one’s relation to the supreme being. The religion of the early Slavs has also been characterized as of the non-fanatical type. It is a question as to whether such a statement permits of a broad application. As a matter of fact Orloff limits it to the religion or the Southern Slavs maintaining that it was of a purer kind than the Scandinavian or that of the northwestern Slavs.

Sermonic Study On Isaiah 26:19, Theo. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

The resurrection of Christ is the foundation on which the faith and hope, the very life of every Christian, is built (1 Cor. 15:14-20). The fact of Easter pertains to the New Testament. But the promise of a future Easter dates back to that day on which sin and death entered into the world and on which the Lord gave to sinful Adam and Eve the blessed assurance of the coming of a Deliverer (Gen. 3:15). This promise served as the basis of Adam's hope and faith, expressed in the name he gave to his wife, Eve, the living, because …

Essays On Sermonizing, John H. Fritz

Concordia Theological Monthly

When Jesus had called unto Him His twelve Apostles, He said, "As ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand," Matt.10:7. After having completed His work of the sinners' redemption and before He ascended to heaven, Jesus repeated His commission, saying, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved," Mark 16:15-16; "Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto …

Homiletics: Outlines On Isaiah 53, Ottomar Krueger

Concordia Theological Monthly

The preceding verses serve as introduction to this chapter and topic. The chapter really begins at Is. 52:13. The general topic is "God's Servant." Who is this Servant? The Talmud says it is the Messiah. Others maintain it was the Jewish nation or the believers in Israel. Others maintain it was Isaiah.

Sermonettes For Boys And Girls, Julius Fischbach

Fischbach, Julius, 1894-

According to a newspaper article included in Marshall’s copy of the book, Sermonettes is the “third of Dr. Fischbach’s books to be published in the field of religious teaching for boys and girls.” As he writes in the Foreword, “It is hoped that many of the boys and girls themselves will honor the book by reading its pages. It has been a labor of love, because there is no finer audience than the children of our churches and our firesides.”

It is likely that the sermons were delivered outside Appalachia. Fischbach, however, has significant ties to the region, so they …
