The Meaning Of Κοινωνεω In Galatians 6:6, Karl F. Breehne

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem treated in this thesis arose in an exegetical course on the Epistle to the Galatians when a sharp divergence of interpretations was noticed among several commentators who were consulted in collateral reading. Luther, L. Fuerbringer and William Arndt (the last two in class lectures at Concordia Seminary) held what may be termed the traditional view. According to this view the passage calls for material support of the ministry on the part of the parishioners. It is in this sense, too, that the passage is ordinarily explained in the exposition of Dr. Luther's Small Catechism under the Third Commandment.

The Tree Of Life Symbol; Its Significance In Ancient American Religion, Irene M. Briggs (Woodford)

Theses and Dissertations

Not too much is known today about religion of ancient Mesoamerica, and it will only be through an intensive comparative study of the various deities as presented in the heiroglyphic manuscripts and native writings, and of the symbolic religious art in the architectural and sculptural remains, that greater knowledge of the subject will be gained. The "Tree of Life," one of the most striking religious symbols of the area, may be one key to such knowledge.

An Analysis Of The Introductions And Conclusions Of C E Macartney's Sermons, Carl A. Streufert

Bachelor of Divinity

This study endeavors to determine whether the introductions and conclusions of c. E. Macartney’s sermons meet the standards of purpose, of variety, of style, of peculiar characteristics as laid down by reputable homileticians and speech critics . By the standard of purpose we mean what the homileticians and speech critics prescribe as the aim and intent of the introduction and conclusion to any sermon or speech. We understand by variety the number of different approaches made to the audience to avoid monotony in the exordiums and perorations used Sunday after Sunday. In the discussion of style, we endeavored to ascertain …

A Study Of Significant Fulfilled Prophecies In The History Of Israel From The Time Of Moses To The Fall Of Jerusalem In 586 B.C., Roland R. Wilkes

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "Today the eyes of the world are watching with keen interest the affairs of the Jewish people in the Holy Land. Whether or not an individual has been a student of the Bible, he is nevertheless cognizant of the fact that there are taking place in Palestine some things which have not occurred there before.

It has been significant to note that for many years the Jews have been the object of study not only by Biblical scholars but also by statesmen and politicians. Scholars and common people alike have always found it difficult to account for the Jew. …

Their influences have been manifold, touching every aspect of life. They have affected the social, economic, political, and moral life of the nation.

Lutheran Sidelights In English History, E. G. Pearce

Concordia Theological Monthly

When Lutheran pastors from all over Great Britain met recently for their Third Annual Conference at Wistow Manor in England, it brought to mind certain facts in seventeenth century English history which are of interest to Lutherans. The seventeenth century was the end of a period of transition from the absolutism, civil and religious, of medieval Roman Catholic England to the constitutional monarchy and religious toleration of modern Protestant Britain. It was the era of the Stuart kings with their reactionary leanings toward Romanism as the form most likely to maintain absolute monarchy. It was the century of that strange …

A Critical Study Of The Doctrine Of Revelation As Held By Three Contemporary American Theologians -- Georgia Harkness, Nels F.S. Ferré, And Edwin Lewis -- In The Light Of The Wesleyan View, Paul Marvin Hayden

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Men are curious beings. They like to know. According to the Biblical account of the fall of man he was tempted and fell at this very point. The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was desired by Adam and Eve to make them wise. The Bible shows that they satisfied this desire to their own detriment. By a little observation, or even introspection, one can see that man still has this desire to know. A trip to the library, to inspect the multitudinous volumes on a myriad of subjects, should convince the most skeptical person …

The problem of this study has been to determine if Arminian theology in America, as represented by two of her most influential theologians, has been true to the philosophy and theology of John Wesley and, also, to determine if they have advanced this thought in any significant manner. …

God's Grace The Preacher's Tool. A Homiletical Study Of Titus 2:11-14, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Most pastors read the Christmas Epistle during the holidays. Many preached on it as a text for a Christmas message. As they prepared that sermon, they probably realized that this text speaks only secondarily to congregations. Primarily it is addressed to a pastor, a pastor who is training other pastors. It does not speak specifically of Christmas, but of the redemption of Jesus Christ in general; not specifically of the moods and joys of Christmas, but of the objective of good works in Christian people. Hence the text speaks to pastors about their own ministry to people, especially the ministry …
