"Ecclesia" According To Saint Paul, Ralph G. Bealer

Graduate Thesis Collection

Several years ago the writer became interested in a study of the New Testament concept of the church. Since the major part of the New Testament collection dealing with this concept is made up of the writings of the apostle Paul he felt that the study should begin with these writings. In making a preliminary study it was found that the apostle's concept would be too extensive and too inclusive to incorporate in its entirety within the scope of a thesis written as partial requirement for the Master of Arts Degree. Consequenty this work is limited, being primarily foundational.

The Preaching Of The Gospel In Selected Lenten Sermon Series Of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Donald R. Miesner

Bachelor of Divinity

The thrust of this thesis is twofold in essence. It sets out to (1) determine what is contained in the preaching of the Gospel according to the New Testament; and, to (2) determine how Bishop Sheen’s Lenten preaching portrayed that New Testament kerygmatic pattern. The study further reveals that Sheen's Lenten preaching in many instances departs from and/or runs counter to the kerygmatic formulation.

The Relationship Between The Concept Of Charis And Santification In The Epistles Of Paul, Harold W. Scheibert

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is an attempt to find the correct New Testament relationship between this great indicative and this great imperative on the basis of St. Paul’s use of the Greek term, χάρις.

The Concept Of Faith And Hebrews 11:1, John R. Nielsen

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the writer, as he began this study, to determine upon the basis of 11:1 what the concept of faith according to Hebrews actually is. However, upon a study of the Epistle itself, we have come to the conclusion that this verse neither defines nor describes faith. Rather it sets forth the only way in which it is possible to have a firm foundation for hope. It makes the assertion that it is by faith that one can have a basis and foundation for eschatological blessings, and certainty in the unseen spiritual realm.

Luther’S Preaching Of Good Works, Robert Heckmann

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to examine Luther's preaching of good works and evaluate his work somewhat on the basis of the standard layed down in the next section. It will include a short study of his preaching style and habits in general, an examination of his definition of good works and his description and use of the power of the Gospel to enable the people to live the life in Christ.

A Prolegomenon To New Testament Language In Light Of Contemporary Linguistic Analysis : A Look At Paul’S Meaning And Use Of Theological Language In I Corinthians 2:6-16, John Stern

Bachelor of Divinity

This, then, is the purpose of this study: to look more closely at what scholars in many fields have had to say regarding the matter of human language and its ability to make religious assertions. In an attempt to define this purpose more accurately, it will be necessary to: (a) examine the field of contemporary Linguistic Analysis in light of its historical setting;(b) describe the relationship between the phenomenology of language and religious language; (c) consider the work being done presently in the area of modern linguistic studies in biblical research and see its effect upon the formation of theological …

A Study Of The Use Of The Phrase Faithful Is God In The New Testament Writings, Donald D. Schaeffer

Bachelor of Divinity

The concept of God's faithfulness is implicit in all of the Sacred Scripture; indeed, one could say that the Bible is, in a sense, the story of God's faithfulness. But only comparatively seldom does this attribute of God come to the surface explicitly. The purpose of this thesis is to study those passages and their context in the New Testament where it is specifically mentioned. Each of those passages is like a facet of a diamond, revealing a new aspect of God's faithfulness, high lighting another element of it, making our conception of it richer and deeper.

A Study Of The Paraclete Passages In The Gospel Of St. John, Dale G. Lasky

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper proposes fundamentally to make a study of the passages where the term Paraclete is found in the Gospel of John. The reference in I John 3:1 has been omitted for, although the Greek term used is the same, the references refer to the Holy Spirit.

The Concept Of ’Σδσ’Σ In The Book Of Acts, Norbert Streufert

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The aim of this thesis is to examine the Old Testament and rabbinic literature to see what role, if any, they played in the formation of the ’σδσ’ς concept of Acts. The Septuagint in particular deserves attention since it held such an important position in the Apostolic Church and so largely affected the writers of the New Testament. As H. B. Swete remarks, the New Testament writers not only were familiar with the Septuagint; but were saturated with its thought and vocabulary.

The Meaning Of Philippians 2:6, William Beck

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

My aim was to find out what the text means. Some of the conclusions differ from the doctrinal statements of men whom I respect very highly. I made no special effort to uphold Lutheran doctrine. It was therefore reassuring to see how the text, freed of all encumbrances, strands there in its simple doctrinal glory.

The Meaning Of The Term Βαειλεια Τοτ Οεοτ In The Parables, Marvin Middendorf

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The term “kingdom of God” plays a prominent part in the Christian vocabulary. Scarcely a sermon is preached without employing this phrase and scarcely a prayer is uttered that does not use this phrase in praise, thanksgiving, petition. That it an essential part of the New Testament is not doubted.

The Person And Work Of The Holy Spirit Implicit In The Proclamation Of John The Baptist, Walter Rosin

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The primary purpose of .this thesis will not; be to determine the correct interpretation of this entire phrase, but to determine what the hearers of John understood when he announced “He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” A secondary purpose of this thesis will be to arrive at a clearer understanding of the concept; of the Holy Spirit.

The New Testament Teaching On The Doctrine Of Entire Sanctification As A Second Crisis Experience, Dean W. Strong

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "Any true study of the doctrine of entire sanctification must begin with the fact that God is a holy being. A study of this nature, except as it is related to the demand of God, has very little meaning. Dr. H.O. Wiley said that in the Father, holiness is original and underived, and in the Spirit, holiness is imparted. Holiness is a relative term when applied to man. An unbiased study of the Scriptures has shown that God has demanded that man be holy, and that man in his natural condition is not holy in God's sight. The problem …
