The Inaugural Vision Of Ezekiel, W. R. Roehrs

Concordia Theological Monthly

"Ezekiel is the strangest figure in the goodly fellowship of the prophets . . . probably no book of the Old Testament is as little read as his, and it may well be the least popular, as it is the least known of the Old Testament." This is the verdict on the Book of Ezekiel in the most recent book on the Prophets of the Old Testament. It may comfort the modern Bible student to know that it has troubled the exegetes, Jewish and Christian, through the centuries. Luther quotes Jerome as saying that the early rabbis considered its contents …

Major Aspects Of Pauline Eschatology, Martin G. Bohn

Graduate Thesis Collection

It is our purpose in this dissertation to discuss some of the major phases of St. Paul's teaching concerning the consummation of the ages of history. So far as we can understand his thinking on the subject, he held to the Biblical presentation of history as constituting basically two ages: the present age and the age to come.

Brief Studies In The Prophets, L. Fuerbringer

Concordia Theological Monthly

In our first article on the Prophet Zechariah we spoke in general of his person and his book. We dwelt, furthermore, On a particularly beautiful and significant symbolical action, the crowning of the Priest-King, a clear prophecy of the Messiah. In the present article we shall briefly consider four other Messianic prophecies found in the third section of the book. These prophecies lend to the entire work a special character.

Brief Studies In The Prophets, L. Fuerbringer

Concordia Theological Monthly

In resuming these brief studies, we do so in response to repeated requests by readers of this journal in whom they had aroused interest not only to study in detail the Prophets in question, but also, on the basis of these brief studies, to preach on these Prophets before their congregations in Sunday evening and weekday services or to treat them in their Bible classes for adults.

The Person Of Christ In The Epistle To The Phillippians, Henry Hamann

Bachelor of Divinity

Any references to his theology that might come in by the way would, it might be argued with some soundness, be all the more valuable as being unpremeditated, quite natural and unforced, and, accordingly, completely sincere and reliable. As a matter of fact; there are a number of references to Jesus Christ and what Paul thought of Him, among them one of the fullest statements Paul ever made on the subject, Phil. 2:5-11, a passage introduced quite unexpectedly, but at the same time with a certain unmistakable solemnity. These passages are sufficient in number and scope to present all the …

Hebrews- An Exegetical Study, James W. Mayer

Bachelor of Divinity

In my sketch of the conception of the Christian High-Priest found in Hebrews. I shall consider in the first part the person of Christ as suited to His High-priesthood, and in the second part Christ as performing the work of a High-priest. I shall stress the special emphasis of Christ as OFFERER and the OFFERING which He Brings. A comparison of the Christian High-priest with the high-priests under the Old Dispensation will not be dealt with in a separate chapter, but will be drawn incidentally as the argument progresses.

An Exegetical-Doctrinal Study Of I Cornithians 15:35-58, Richard Otto Reinisch

Bachelor of Divinity

It is not within the scope of this paper to attempt to verify the reality of Christ's resurrection from the dead. We accept that as fact. Similarly, we believe that there is a life after death for all mankind. The aim of this paper is on the basis of I Corinthians 15:25-58 to determine the condition of the believers after the resurrection and especially with what kind of bodies they shall live in heaven.

Luther's Attitude Towards Allegory, George Rode

Bachelor of Divinity

Our purpose is not to answer the question whether allegory should be used or not. We do not wish to raise the question whether allegorical interpretation should find a place in our exegetical practise. Our purpose is to show what Luther thought of allegorical interpretation. We shall attempt to answer the question whether he considered it permissible to use allegory at any time. If allegory may be used, and we know that Luther made use of it until the last, then what are the principles, the rules, to which it must be subjected?

A Study Of The Canon At 170 A. D., Harry Dequincey Smith Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

In this study, I purpose to consider but the first three of these questions. It shall be my endeavor to discover the historical information as to:

1. which books of our New, Testament were in the possession or Christians up to approximately the year 170 A.D.;

2. what kind of authority the Christians up to this date gave to these books; and,

3. whether any books other than those of our New Testament were given on equal authority.

The Authorship, Canonicity, And Authenticity Of The Epistle Of St Jude, Leroy Biesenthal

Bachelor of Divinity

One of the most interesting books of the New Testament, from the isagogical standpoint, is that of the Epistle of St. Jude. It will be the purpose of this thesis to discuss certain of these problems. Under examination especially will be the question of authorship of the Epistle, the question of genuiness, and finally the problem of canonicity.

The Canonicity And Authorship Of The Epistle Of James, Norman P. Wangerin

Bachelor of Divinity

The primary aim of this thesis is to establish, as far As that can be done, the basis for the canonicity of the Epistle of James. That problem really involves two questions. In the first place, does the Epistle come from Apostolic times? If it does not, then the problem is immediately settled, and the Epistle does not belong in our Bible. On the other hand, if it does come from Apostolic times, who is meant by the simple superscription “James, a servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ”?

The Expression Of Purpose In The Johannie Writings, William John Hassold

Bachelor of Divinity

In this paper we shall attempt to analyze the various ways in which St. John expresses purpose and attempt and to clarify the difficulties connected with them.

The Nature And Purpose Of Our Savior's Miracles, Carl E. Mehlberg

Bachelor of Divinity

If we wish to know someone, we must study both his words and his actions. Since we cannot read his mind, we can only analyze what we can see and hear in order to learn who and what he is. From this it becomes evident, that the Person of Christ, Who and What He is, is involved in the question of miracles and their authenticity. They were, as St. John tells us, recorded to prove that Jesus "is the Christ, the Son of God". (Jn.20,31). If they are false, so also is Christ. He then becomes nothing more than an …

Variant Readings In The Text Of First Corinthians On The Basis Of P46, Walter H. Lutz

Bachelor of Divinity

Our interest in this study is a reexamination of the text of First Corinthians on the basis of P46. P46 is the symbol, agreed upon by scholars, to designate the Pauline Epistles in the Chester Beatty Collection of Biblical Papyri. It comprises manuscript no. II of the collection.

Who Is The Lord Of The World To Come An Exegetical Study Of Hebrews 2:5-9, Henry J. Otten

Bachelor of Divinity

In treating this problem I have decided to present the subject under two general heads. I shall first carry through an exegetical study of verses five to nine to determine the scope of the words and grammar. In the midst of this exegetical study I shall pause at intervals to discuss various sidelights of the problem at hand. In the second place, I shall try to crystallize the problem and arrive at a solution.

The Groaning Creation- An Exegetical Study Of Romans 8:18-22, Walter James Bartling

Bachelor of Divinity

Though the title of our paper reads "The Groaning Creation", the purpose of our discussion will be, not so much to describe the nature of creation's groaning, but to ascertain the causes of the groaning (terminus & quo) with the special purpose of predicting and defining its end (terminus ad quem) on the basis of Rom. 8;18-22. It will be the story of sin and grace, death and life, damnation and redemption, paradise lost and paradise regained as this is reflected in the physical universe. Our chief interest, however, will be eschatological. How has God's saving activity affected nature? What …

The Beatitudes, Wilbur May

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The goal of this thesis is to obtain a deeper insight into the true meaning of the Beatitudes as spoken by Christ almost two thousand years ago. We are fully aware of the fact that words are merely symbols for thoughts. However, the words are the means by which we grasp the thoughts which the speaker wished to give us. Therefore, we feel that perhaps the ·best method to obtain this deeper insight is by examining the individual words which Christ used. The immediate purpose of this examination of the individual words is to understand the individual words with the …

Whether St. Luke Used The Gospel Of St. Paul In The Composition Of His Own, Otto Hintze Jr

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The many narratives of which Luke speaks have intrigued inquisitive minds no end. As a result, they have been the object of an enormous amount of research. What was the precise nature of these writings? Are they extant? Did Luke have them at his disposal and peruse them? Did he embody them in his Gospel in any way? Such are a few of the questions which arise out of the scanty information furnished by Luke's preface.

An Examination Of The Ethical Injunctions Of St Paul, Herbert T. Mayer

Bachelor of Divinity

Its only purpose is to highlight the ethical portions in the writings of Paul. It will do this by emphasizing three aspects which have perhaps not received proper stress in many books which discuss this subject. These three aspects will be discussed under the general heading of the new three-fold relationship in which the converted individual finds himself.
