"But Right Or Wrong-My Architecture. ", George W. Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Who was it that referred to a recently completed building with the words "It looks as if it were designed by Frank Lloyd Wrong"' What is right in church architecture is always so much a reflection of a proponent's subjective background and experience that comments such as these are like "My country-may she always be right-but my country, right or wrong." A case made for church architecture is usually a case for my architecture.

The Reformation Movement In Estonia, Heino Olavi Kadai

Bachelor of Divinity

It is hoped that the thesis at hand is not welcomed only because it adds to the completeness of Reformation research in the English language. The study of the Reformation movement in Estonia will help to demonstrate the fact that the Great Reformation, as Lutherans like to think of the Lutheran Reformation, spread in many different ways and moved by diverse roads, not always following the same pattern in every territory. As the study will bear out, the Reformation movement in Estonia carried many characteristics of its own that differ greatly from the development of the Reformation in Germany, Sweden, …

The Message Of Koheleth And Khayyam, Herman Martin Jank

Bachelor of Divinity

The concurrent message of Ecclesiastes, or “The Preacher,” or Koheleth and the Rubaiyat of OmarKhayyam is an elusive one. Available information concerning the background of the authors and their works is meger. Interpretations and evaluations of their conclusions have reached a wide divergence in most respects.

Contributions Of The Confessions To A Lutheran Philosophy Of Education, John Mager

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Because of the central place which the Confessions give to the doctrine of justification we feel that we can do nothing less than make this doctrine the unifying principle in this thesis. We do so for this reason that the unifying principle or a Lutheran philosophy of education cannot be much diverse from the material principle of its theology. If theology is the basis or the foundation upon which the superstructure of a Lutheran philosophy of education can be built up, then the two and their unifying principles are more closely related than we might assume.

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this study is to 1ook again at one facet of the nature of the Church as defined by these Confessions. Such a study, with the insights it affords, is a prerequisite to an intelligent participation in the current discussions of the nature of the Church and the paths to her reunification.

An Evangelical Approach To The Problem Of The Antiquity Of Man In The Light Of Biblical And Scientific Evidence, Richard T. Burdine

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Some contemporary Evangelical views concerning the antiquity of man are problematic in the light of modern scientific claims. Science presents a view of the age of man that is different from that presented by some scholars who feel they are representing the Biblical view. The sciences tend to look upon man as being hundred of thousands of years old. Some Biblical scholars feel that such a view is out of harmony with the Scriptures. The purpose of this study is to present an evangelical approach to the problem of the antiquity of man in the light of Biblical and scientific …

An Evangelical Approach To The Problem Of Knowing And Doing The Basic Principles Of Christian Conduct, Roland R. Strutz

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

In the declaration of Jesus, at the conclusions of His great Sermon on the Mount, there are two words that merit special attention, "heareth" and "doeth". The problem of determining right and wrong is of an extremely serious nature because few people recognize the contrast between the secularized standards of the age and the moral principles of Christianity. In America particularly, both those in the church and those outside its fold harbor the vague illusion that the common life of man is Christian. This should be problem enough. Yet it is with deep concern that this author has noted definite …

Excerpt: "The problem of determining right and wrong is of an extremely serious nature because few people recognize the contrast between secularized standards of the age and the moral principles of Christianity. In America particularly, both those in the church and those outside its fold harbor the vague illusion that the common life of man is Christian. This should be problem enough. Yet it is with deep concern that this author has noted definite discrepancies in evangelical Christianity as to the problem of right and wrong conduct. What one evangelical Christian would preach as wrong, the other would practice as …

What Is A "Missionary," Anyway?, Graeme M. Rosenau

Concordia Theological Monthly

What is a "missionary," anyway? The answer cannot be given in 30 minutes or 30 hours. Some things that are extremely important can be said, and this iS an attempt to say them. But what is said can by its very generality point only beyond itself to the greatness of the work we missionaries have laid upon us and to the incalculable magnitude of the divine grace that has called us, even us, in our weakness and incapability, to perform it and has given us the power and promise that guarantee success. Only let us remember that the succes will …

Law-Gospel-Oriented Preaching In Martin Luther's Theology Of Preaching, Chul Hwan Kim

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The Goal of this thesis is to study Luther's theology of preaching. As we have already seen above, the first chapter outlines the world of Luther's preaching. The second chapter explores Luther's preaching, focusing on his specific concern for preaching. In it, we can see that Luther regards preaching as the oral Word of God. Luther believes God is speaking when the preacher preaches. This chapter will show us that Luther's understanding of preaching is concentrated upon the Lord, Christ who is the content of Gospel.

A Study Of Christian Praise, Ronald Gene Debock

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The function of praise has taken so many forms that its place in theology today is unclear. In some circles within the Christian framework it seems to this writer to have been almost unwanted. On the other hand, some of the more exaggerated forms of praise have been associated with emotionalism. The Christian believer who seeks a proper balance in this regard, whether in his private worship or in the worship services of his local church, needs to understand the scope of Christian praise as it is taught in the Scriptures and in common experience.

The Theological Implications Of Confirmation, Arthur C. Repp

Concordia Theological Monthly

Since the Christian's whole life is a continuous spiritual Baptism, what is the relationship of the Word and the Lord's Supper in Baptism? Are they subordinate to it? Not at all. As Regin Prenter points out, it is just because the baptismal covenant, God's promise of man's salvation and man's faith in God's promise, implies the necessity of a lifelong exercise of man's faith in that covenant that there is a need for a continuous sanctifying activity of the living Word, not in competition with, but in consequence of the regenerating activity of the living Word in Baptism. ln this …

A Survey Of Adult Membership Training Experiences For Evangelical United Brethren, Frank W. Wooldridge

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Hardly a week passes in most communities surrounding a major metropolitan center that a new family does not move into town. No longer does the cleric or lay worker need to look to distant fields for those who are not being challenged by the Gospel. As they came into the new community, they brought in addition to their household goods, their former church attitudes. They were Baptists, Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, Nazarenes, Penticostals, and Presbyterians. When they moved into the community served by the Evangelical United Brethren Church, they became the responsibility of the local church in that community.

The Posture Of The Interpreter, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Practically everybody in Christendom claims to be in some sense under Scripture. The Liberal feels that he is being "true to the deepest intentions" of Jesus or of Paul when he treats Scripture in his own fashion. Bultmann claims to be dealing so radially with the form of the New Testament message merely in order to confront modern man with what he considers the essential content of the New Testament message. And certainly the Fundamentalist, for all his frequent failure to make the most basic and radical distinction that the Bible itself knows, the distinction between law and Gospel, interprets …

The Theological Implications Of Confirmation, Arthur C. Repp

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran practice of confirmation can hardly be described as uniform during its long history. The differences varied greatly both in number and in kind as many accretions attached themselves to this practice. Because there was no Biblical basis for confirmation, the Lutheran Church did not hesitate to warrant new emphases and directions with changing circumstances and needs. As confirmation is practiced today, especially in the United States, it is cluttered with the remnants of such additions, the origins of which are rarely recognized. Just as the Reformation Church thought it was restoring confirmation in accord with the tradition of …
