Pieper's Principium In Its Historical-Theological Setting, David Meyer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

My purpose is not merely to seek a critical and objective analysis of Pieper’s understanding of Scripture as the present-day principium theologiae, but my purpose is to reproduce Pieper’s theology of the principium against the backdrop of his theological world as he saw it.

Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton Rudnick

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The conclusion of this study is that Fundamentalism and the Missouri Synod were not related closely enough for either to exert major influence upon the other. Basic factors in the background of each group kept them at a distance from one another, and, while their paths were often parallel, they never actually converged. The relationship was, for the most part, cordial, but never intimate, with the result that there was no important interchange of ideas and attitudes. It is for this reason that the word "in" had to become "and"--"Fundamentalism and the Missouri Synod,” signifying the revised view of at …

A Comparative Study Of The Conservative Evangelical View And The Seventh-Day Adventist View Of The Doctrine Of An Intermediate State, Ben O. Taylor

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The purpose of the study at hand has been twofold: 1) to examine the doctrine of the intermediate state as it is held by Conservative Evangelicals, and 2) by means of comparison and contrast, to exhibit the ways in which the Seventh-Day Adventist position agrees with or differs from the Conservative Evangelical position.

An Approach To The Concept Of Biblical Communication As The Core Of Christian Education, Eugene Floyd Kester

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

In the process of genuinely attempting to live and share the Good News of Jesus Christ with an "exploding" contemporary world, some people have become increasingly desperate to know how.

This necessity, they have discovered, is disturbing multitudes of sincere Christians in every walk of life. Many have found themselves turning from one "successful" method to another; while others have "faithfully" held to some favorite or "honored" procedure .

"Heart" (Kardia) In The Doctrine Of Soteriology, Clyde James Zehr

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem under consideration was an investigation of the doctrine of soteriology set forth by conservative evangelical theologians in the light of the New Testament usage of the term "heart" (kardia). The term "heart" (kardia) is a prominent word in the New Testament, especially in the areas referring specifically to sin and salvation from sin. Any doctrine of salvation from sin will, therefore, be greatly influenced and affected by the interpretation placed upon the New Testament writers' meaning of this word. Basically, the problem had three main areas of investigation: first, to determine the scriptural meaning of "heart" (kardia) in …

A Comparative Study Of The Conservative Evangelical View And The Seventh-Day Adventist View Of The Doctrine Of An Intermediate State, Ben O. Taylor

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Belief in an intermediate state has never been wholly absent from religious thought. One purpose of this investigation has been to examine data concerning an intermediate state, and what its nature is. By the expression, intermediate state, is meant the realm or condition in which the souls of men exist from the time of physical death to the resurrection of their bodies.

The Theology Of Frederick Henry Quitman As Illustrated Primarily By His Catechism And Hymbook, Waldemar Wehmeier

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This research, therefore, was motivated by a desire to know more about the man who stood as a “Saul among the host of Israel" determining the course of the New York Ministerium for twenty-one years, given an honorary S.T.D. by Harvard University, so revered by his congregation that when he could no longer walk he was carried into the pulpit to a chair, and yet summarily dismissed by many as a rationalist and a socinian.

Developing A Ministry On Mission Fields In The Light Of The New Testament Concepts Of Church And Ministry, Maynard Dorow

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This study concerns the ministry of the church. To phrase the question in this way already demonstrates that ministry cannot be understood by itself but that it is to be studied in the context of the church. When we look at ministry in the New Testament we find that it is always involved with serving the purposes of the church. In this chapter, therefore, we will set forth in brief outline the concept of the church as presented in the New Testament in order that our study of ministry might be seen in proper perspective.

A Study Of Epistemology In The Theologies Of Emil Brunner, Martin Heinecken, Taito Kantonen, And Joseph Sittler, John Heinemeier

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Chapter I of the paper will deal with Brunner and Chapter II with Heinecken, Kantonen and Sittler in comparison to Brunner. The concluding section will summarize Brunner’s position, evaluate the comparison made between his position and that of the three Lutherans, and raise several questions for further investigation in this field.

Factors Related To The Life And Growth Of Adult Bible Classes In The Lutheran Church, Paul Pallmeyer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

A serious concern of many Protestant churches today is their failure to enlist a large proportion of their adult members in group Bible study. One such church body is The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod. As will presently be shown, this denomination has vigorously promoted adult Bible study over the last decade and a half, but there remains a continued resistance by the adult membership to participation in Bible classes.

The present project was designed.to uncover some factors which show a relationship to this resistance to group Bible study by members of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod. A series of interviews with Bible …

Some Proposed Criteria For An Examination Of Adult Pre-Membership Instruction, Michael Keyne

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This thesis is primarily concerned with the criteria for the structuring of adult pre-membership instruction, in the light of its unique position within the field of Christian education. The broad area of Christian education has the problem of teaching individuals who exhibit relative degrees of faith and knowledge. Functionally, most of Christian education is based upon the assumption that a common denominator of faith is present, no matter how minimal it may be. Since adult pre-membership instruction can make no such assumption, it follows that the whole philosophy of Christian education must be re-examined in the light of pre-membership instruction.

The Doctrine Of Infant Baptism In The German Protestant Theology Of The Nineteenth Century, David Scaer

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

This work is not written primarily to give answer to the difficulties which might arise in connection with infant baptism. This it might, do incidentally and this is certainly the author's wish. What is endeavored here is to analyze the doctrine or infant baptism as it appeared in the nineteenth century in Germany, the land of Luther. In so far as we are dealing with a limited period of time within certain defined geographical limits, our work is historically orientated. But in far as the various teachings on infant baptism are analyzed, this task belongs to that of systematic theology. …

The Aspect Of Freedom In Paul's Theology, M. Eugene Boring

Graduate Thesis Collection

The study of the New Testament properly begins with Paul, since the earliest documents of the New Testament are from his hand. In this, my first serious attempt to make a study of one aspect of the theology of the New Testament, I have thus chosen to begin with Paul. I have tried to choose a topic which would allow me to study Paul's theology as a whole, but which would permit me to approach it from a viewpoint not already overused.

The Relationship Of Certain Terms To The Doctrine Of Original Sin, Robert L. Smith

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Mathematicians state that for one to comprehend the Einstein theory of relativity a good knowledge of mathematics and mathematical symbols is necessary. It is impossible to put into words many of the thought and concepts expressed, but Einstein communicated through the use of certain symbols and formulas. When a student in any field begins his study he is soon aware that the amount of mastery he will gain in the area will depend upon his grasp and comprehension of the terminology peculiar to that field of study. It must be discovered what certain terms and thought patterns mean to those …

In this paper a comparative study will be made of the work of four Johannine interpreters who are widely separated both in time and in theological approach: Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560), Luther’s irenic associate, rightly designated the "preceptor of Germany"; Aegidius Hunnius (1550-1603), an uncompromising representative of early Lutheran confessional orthodoxy; Father Marie-Joseph Lagrange (1855-1938), one of the greatest Roman Catholic Biblical scholars of the twentieth century; and Charles Kingsley Barrett, an English Methodist, who since 1958 has served as professor of divinity at Durham University, and who is the author of a highly reputed commentary on the Greek text of …
