The Unadopted Witness Of P46 In The Nestle Text Of Galatians, Colossians, And I Thessalonians And Its Treatment In The Rsv, Walter A. Ritter

Bachelor of Divinity

Ever since textual critics could examine the latest discovery of New Testament manuscripts reported in 1930, the Chester-Beatty papyri intrigued them like a child with a new toy. The high quality of the text of the Pauline codex, called P46, was immediately apparent, and critics began to wonder how much of the “established” Greek text would need revision in the light of this wonderful discovery. This thesis is an evaluation of a limited number of the variant readings in that important manuscript.

The Significance Of The Progress Reports In The Book Of Acts, Robert Smith

Bachelor of Divinity

A Study Of The Marcan Miracles, Donald Kreuger

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The indefinite title of this study indicates its breadth and general character. This is not an investigation into the specific problems of various miracles, nor is it an exegetical. presentation of all the miracle stories of St.· Mark's Gospel. The present writer has simply, let himself be confronted by the Marcan miracles. From such a confrontation two basic questions arose-: What does St. Mark tell us about the miracles? and, What do the miracles tell us about Jesus Christ? This study is an attempt to answer these two questions.

An Exegetical Study Of Second Corinthians 5_17-21 With Special Reference To Reconcilliation, George Evenson

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The Teacher Of The Righteousness And His Relationship To Jesus Christ, Norman Habel

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

More specifically we wish to examine-and delineate a. certain name which figures prominently in the Qumran literature. That name is "Teacher of Righteousness.”• Accordingly, we wish to uncover what kind of person ( or persons) it is who bears this mask “”Teacher of Righteousness,” and discover how he ( or they ) and the rest of the movement think. What are the basic beliefs, and controlling concepts championed by these Qumran students? This is the leading question! This question, however, can never be divorced from the question to which it leads, viz., how does the thought world of Qumran and …

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?

Alexander Campbell's Principals Of Interpretation Of Interpretation As Seen In His Conception Of The Church, George Estes

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In this thesis our purpose has been to formulate, define and illustrate those rules Alexander Campbell compiled and applied in reaching conclusions and decisions on the meaning of Bible passages referring to the Church, rather than to give a full exposition of his conception of the pertinent doctrines. The examples, therefore, are taken from those sections of Campbell’s writings where we found the rules used or referred to, on such subjects as baptism, The Lord's Supper, the covenants or any other subject that is included in the doctrine of the church.

The Solidarity Of The New Israel, Herbert Mayer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The New Testament Israel, or ecclesia, has been the subject of exhaustive study in recent years. A pressing question in this field is that of the relationship between the solidarity of the Israel of the Old and New Testaments. Some have held that there is no particular significance in this relationship. They regard the New Testament Church as the pure product of the teachings of Jesus without any antecedents whatever. Others have found the New Testament Church to be the essential continuation of the Old Testament Israel. The truth, as usual, lies between these extreme positions. A proper understanding of …

A Comparison Of The Wesleyan And Keswickian Interpretations Of The Work Of The Holy Spirit In Believers, John Mcclimans

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem of the Christian believer's deliverance from sin is of concern to all traditional Christian theology. That the believer has a root of sin from which he must be delivered before he may enter heaven is generally granted. The point of divergence lies in the answers to those questions; what is original sin, when and how may one expect deliverance from it? Among the various Wesleyan groups a "this-life" solution to the sin problem is stressed, but because there are various answers to the question, "what is original sin?" the nature of the solution will be variously understood. The …

A Study Of The Biblical Basis For Tithing, John W. Anderson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Tithing is included as a portion of a Christian's obligation to the Church by most Christian groups of today. A considerable amount of material has been written on the subject. These materials vary in approach and interpretation. It was the author's purpose to find the Biblical basis and teaching for tithing, both in the Old and New Testaments.

A Biblical Study Of The Divorce Problem, Nathan Krampitz

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The minister has a complex task.. He is a preacher, teacher, counsellor, and pastor. Part of his work is to perform marriages. In doing this he is often asked to perform marriages where one or both parties are divorcees. He needs to decide then whether or not he will marry them.. This is not an easy decision to make.

Most churches have an official ruling for the denomination. But many ministers do not adhere to this official ruling. There are also differences in the official positions which the churches take. Since there is so much confusion in the matter of …

The Essential Elements Of The Sinaitic Covenant, Holland Jones

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In the study of the New Testament Kerygma we can recognize that the life, death, resurrection, and exaltation are one great act of God by which He made the New Covenant. However in our study of these events we separate them for convenience. So in our study of the Old Covenant we can recognize that the deliverance, giving of the Law, ratification of the Covenant, and conquest of Canaan are one great act of God by which He made the Old Covenant. But here too we separated these events for the purpose of clarity in investigating them. And for want …

An Inquiry Into The Time Elements Of The Fifth And Sixth Trumpets Of Revelation Nine, Robert Lee Mole

Master's Theses

Statement of the problem

It was the purpose of this investigation, (l) to discover whether the dates as given in the Litch-Smith view of Revelation the ninth chapter, which ends the times of the fifth and sixth trumpets on August 11, 1840, agree with both the Bible and history; and if not, (2) to determine whether a solution is possible that would agree with both factors in view of the criticism presently leveled at the Litch-Smith view. This criticism is based on the seeming inability to find historical facts to support this view, and also on the exegesis of the …

Galatians-A Declaration Of Christian Liberty, William F. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

For our orientation it will be advisable briefly to survey the passages in which the word "freedom" or "free" occurs. It is early in the Epistle that Paul first touches on this topic (2:3-5). In the historical sketch of his career he relates what happened when he and Barnabas, accompanied by Titus, went to Jerusalem.
