Teaching For The Intergration Of The Christian Personality, Ronald Arthur Michel

Bachelor of Divinity

Teaching for a full-orbed commitment or for the complete integration of the Christian personality is not substitution for the work of the Holy Spirit. God. has placed the means for Christian education into human hands, for He has given the Church the command to teach the Word of God through which the Holy Spirit enters into the hearts of men. Christians educators are co-workers of the Holy Spirit in achieving the desired goal.

This, then, is the purpose of this paper: that we discuss those factors which are essential in teaching for the fullest possible commitment to Jesus Christ.

Social And Political Thinking In The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod From 1920-1955, Arthur Simon

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The primary aim of this thesis is to give a description of the social and political thinking within The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod during the years 1920 to 1955. Obviously the purpose is more than that, however, since few people are interested in describing simply for description's sake. The implication is that such a description has to do with a crucial area in the theology and life of the Church. This in turn implies that even a description can serve the useful purpose of giving a better understanding of what has been thought and why it has been thought,. and can:, …

The Original (God-Intended) Meaning And Purpose Of The Old Testament Sacrifices, James Dishop

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

We have chosen as our title: "The Original (God-Intended) Meaning and. Purpose of the Old Testament Sacrifices.” This means that this thesis is intended to answer two basic questions :(1) What was God's purpose in instituting sacrifices?; (2) What meaning did God intend sacrifices to have; for man?

A Historical Study Of The Friends Doctrine Of Scripture, Dorothy E. Barratt

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There a.re various theological positions taken by modern day Friends. Some Friends are evangelical, others are theologically liberal. In analyzing this situation one of the major reasons proposed to explain the tendency toward liberalism is related to the Friends' basic view of objective authority in general and a view of Scripture in particular. The question arises as to whether the view of Scripture held traditionally by Quakers accounts necessarily for the tendency toward religious liberalism and whether the Friends' view is actually at variance with evangelical thought today or through the course of history. The investigation is concerned with determining …

Lutheran Education And Philosophy, Paul M. Bretscher

Concordia Theological Monthly

This study conceives of Lutheran education as an activity in which our entire church with all its homes and parishes is engaged. It has in mind all levels, all currently employed agencies, and all subject areas of modern education. To be concrete: our homes, corporate worship, schools and Sunday schools, Bible classes, Bible institutes, catechumen classes, high schools, colleges, seminaries, university, institutions for the physically handicapped. and all our other educational efforts are within the purview of this study. Furthermore, this study proceeds on the premise that Lutheran education is an inevitable outgrowth of the basic beliefs of the Lutheran …

Filing And Indexing Methods For Students And Pastors, Palmer G. Ruschke

Bachelor of Divinity

Since the average pastor has available no one qualified to assist him in this task, he must do most of it himself. Aside from the task of reading and evaluating printed materials, the pastor must find some way of storing these materials and organizing them so as to have available the materials he needs, when he needs them. Dr. Elgin S. Moyer, librarian at Moody Bible Institute, reports a comment from one of his professors, “There are two ways of securing the information we need; one, having it in our memory, and the other, knowing where to find what we …

Aspects Of The Relationship Of Faith To Conscience In Luther's Sermons, 1528-1532, William Arthur Olsen

Bachelor of Divinity

A brief study revealed numerous examples of the close relationship Luther established between faith and conscience in both his formal theological writings and his sermons as they have come down to us. This thesis seeks on a 1imited scale to establish and delineate that relationship between faith and conscience in the theology of Luther.

Both terms about which the thesis revolves are very prominent in the writings of Luther. That “faith” is a decisive and frequently used word in his theology seems to require no documentation.

The Anthropology Of Communism, Arthur Simon

Bachelor of Divinity

This essay is an investigation of the communist view of man and an attempt to indicate a few implications of the same for the Christian Church. The topic itself is a broad one. The available material, both primary and secondary, comprises too long a list for the research this writer was able to do. The bibliography will indicate, however, that at least some of the basic primary writings were consulted as well as a number of the better commentaries on communism.

The Concept Of Truth In The Gospel According To St. John, John D. Senter

Bachelor of Divinity

It is well known that the Christian religion offers an answer to the age-old question, “What is truth?" Perhaps it is not so well known that the answer which it gives does not have to be verbalized in such a way that "truth seems to be nothing more than an organized assemblage of highly abstract “concepts.” St. John managed to speak of the ultimate Truth of which Christianity speaks in such a manner that it is seen to be, as in fact it is, concrete, historical, and even personal, when he identified Truth with Jesus. Thus he also showed that …

Luther On Faith, W. M. Oesch

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Reformation unleashed religious subjectivism and was a precursor of the egocentricity of the modem age. A Roman Catholic theologian who is perhaps the most eminent living dogmatician of his communion makes this claim. Michael Schmaus in his Katholische, Dogmatik (Vol 4, Part 1, 1952) holds that the type of faith which Luther expressed and propagated disregards all religious authority which is not centered in the direct approach of the soul to God.

The Foreword Of "Lehre Und Wehre" For 1862 (Vol. 8)., C. F. Walther, William F. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

From the very beginning of our venture the charge has been voiced in various quarters, and not long ago again in the Kirchliches Zeitblatt ( 1861, No. 7) of Ehlers by Pastor Fengler of Lowenberg, that Lehre und Wehre and the Missouri Synod lack "creative activity,'' that the fathers are quoted too much, and that even the old material is not offered in a new form entitled to be called original. It may therefore be worthwhile to look at this charge a little more closely. As we prepare to do so in the present foreword, our motive is by no …

The Doctrine Of Justification In The Lutheran Confessions, Herbert J. Bouman

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the 1538 edition of his commentary on Galatians, Luther speaks of "this one and firm rock, which we call the doctrine of justification, that is, that we are delivered from sin, death, and devil, not through ourselves (nor certainly through our works which are of lesser value than we ourselves), but through outside help, through the Only-begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ." "If the article concerning justification falls, everything falls." "This is the chief article of the whole Christian doctrine, which comprehends the undemanding of all godliness. It is, therefore, of prime importance that it be well understood and …
