Homiletics: Studies On Free Texts From The Old Testament, Valentine Mack

Studies on Free Texts from the Old Testament

Faith With Works, Frederic W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

The fact that Christianity's message has spread far and wide may lead to the easy assumption that knowledge equals understanding and that in place of doctrinal emphases the practical aspects demand primary consideration. It is the purpose of this paper to show that Christianity cannot be functional unless its message is presented with a constant doctrinal emphasis and that if this doctrine is faithfully presented, the message will be functional. As in the preceding paper, "Faith Without Works," St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians will provide the basic material for the subject "Faith with Works."

Christian Worship: A Psychological Study, Jonas M. Berkey

Graduate Thesis Collection

Both Psychology and Christianity are concerned with the well-being or wholeness of the human person. Since God is no respecter of persons, then all men are alike in their basic nature. Psychology bears out this conclusion. Therefore, upon the foundation of this basic agreement psychology may be used effectively in helping to establish a fundamental agreement for the effective worship of Christian men. The scope of this treatment will consider only three of the basic acts of Christian worship - prayer, baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Faith Without Works, Frederic W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

Demands for a creative outlet in an age of standardized production have been responsible for a rash of "do-it-yourself" hobby crafts. Such self-reliance displays itself also in the religious area. St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians amply testifies, however, that the "do-it-yourself" cult is not a modern development.

A Study Of The Temple In The Gospel Of John, Harold E. Remus

Bachelor of Divinity

This study of the Temple in the Gospel of John indicates the fulfillment of the Old Testament Temple and its cultus in Jesus Christ. Although this is a Johannine study, it has been possible to take account of sayings about the Temple in the other three Gospels and to show their significance in a way that would have been impossible had the Fourth Gospel never been written.

The Divine Love Motif In Hosea And Jeremiah, Norman Charles Habel

Bachelor of Divinity

The main objective of this study then. is to outline clearly both the encounter and the message of each prophet over against the love of God, and to understand the basic concepts of the divine love motif as found in these two authors . On the basis of this outline certain leading conclusions can be formed by comparing the principle themes in each writer. In this way the basic unity and the significant diversity of their outlook can be summarized.

The Biblical Teaching Of The Visio Dei- A General Overview Of Its Scope And Its Implications For The Christian, Richard William Baldes

Bachelor of Divinity

While Greek and similar systems oftheo1ogy are fascinating, we want to examine briefly some that were a bit more connected and invo1ved with Christianity, and note their stress or lack of stress on the visio Dei. These will not necessarily be contemporary with New Testament times nor is it the purpose of this examination to revea1 their influence on, or their being influenced by the Christian teaching. The purpose of this examination is merely to give the reader an idea of the various strains of thought that were rampant in the people to whom the Christian teaching of the visio …

The Industrial Chaplain, Paul John Thielo

Bachelor of Divinity

Under the inspiration of such Industrial Chaplains as Reverend Geiseman and with the incentive of sharing the fruits of this ministry with others the author has written this paper. He felt our church must be informed about this work amongst the industrial workers. It is his hope that this paper will in some measure acquaint the church with this one facet of the church's potential ministry to the industrial worker.

The History Of Lutheran City Missions In Saint Louis, John Paul Ellwanger

Bachelor of Divinity

As great men often disappear in the shadows of still greater men, so City Missions in St. Louis has lost the public spotlight to these other more brightly shining lights. It will be one of the purposes of this thesis to throw as much light as possible on the significance of Lutheran City Missions in Lutheran life in St. Louis during the first part of the twentieth century.

The Importance And Means In Achieving A Balance In Appeals To Intellect And To Emotionin Preaching, Arnim Henry Polster

Bachelor of Divinity

The study seeks to determine the relationship of intellect and emotion in preaching, to discover the relative importance of each, and to point out the factors involved in achieving a balance between appeals to intellect and appeals to emotion. Preaching tends in varying degrees to the extreme of dogmatic lecturing on the one hand, and on the other, to the extreme of the revivalistic tent-service. Therefore, answers to these questions are here sought: (1) What is the nature and importance of intellectual appeal in preaching? (2) What is the nature and importance of emotional appeal in preaching? (3) What is …

A Basic History Of Lutheranism In America, Lewis W. Spitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

Abdel Ross Wentz, the author of this book, may be regarded as the dean of historians of the Lutheran Church in America. Among the significant contributions to the history of Lutheranism in this country is his Lutheran Church in America History, the precursor of the present volume. His History of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Maryland and The Beginnings of the German Element in York County, Pennsylvania, have set a pattern for other historians, demonstrating the kind of work that must be done elsewhere before a final and comprehensive history of Lutheranism can be written. The same may be said …

A Study Of Hebrews 6:4-8, Herbert H. Hohenstein

Concordia Theological Monthly

Any effort to determine the relationship of this passage to the entire epistle must necessarily consider both the occasion and the purpose of the letter. There is one outstanding theme, the finality and perfection of the Christian religion. Christ, God's Son, has come down to give the climactic and clearest revelation of the God in whose bosom He has lain and to redeem mankind to this God whom He reveals. He who would hear this final Word of God must hear it in the Son. Not to listen is to die. Yes, to grow cold in attention to that Word …

The Lutheran World Federation, Gilbert A. Thiele

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the years immediately after World War I, tentative attempts were made to establish contact for purposes of fellowship and understanding between European, North American, Asian, and other Lutheran bodies in the world. The first real meeting of representatives of Lutheran churches throughout the world took place in 1923 at Eisenach, Germany. Here 160 delegates from twenty-two nations met August 19-24, 1923, in order to explore and express their unity of faith and spiritual kinship. The way for this gathering and all that followed from it "was prepared by the General Evangelical Lutheran Conference, which, although at first confined to …

The Synagogue And Its Influences, Daniel Brockhoff

Bachelor of Divinity

“Was the synagogue greatly influenced by the surrounding cultures in which it existed, and was the synagogue influential to any extent upon the surroundings in which it existed'?" The purpose of this thesis is to give some directives in order that a correct and factual answer might be obtained to those questions.

The Influence Of The Servant Songson The Titles Of Jesus, Harry W. Hoemann

Bachelor of Divinity

Not all of the titles of Jesus used in the New Testament are related to the Servant Songs. It is the purpose of this paper to examine those titles of Jesus used in the New Testament which have been influenced by the Servant Songs in order to determine the extent and significance of that influence.

Administrating The Church Toward Stronger Spiritual Relationships Among Its Members, Edward E. Busch

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to use these efforts: (1) to determine the New Testament pattern for the Church; and (2) how, in today’s world, one can administrate a congregation toward this pattern, that is, toward stronger spiritual relationships among its members. To do this, we must first clarify the factors which hinder attainment of this goal.

Filing And Indexing Methods For Students And Pastors, Palmer G. Ruschke

Bachelor of Divinity

Since the average pastor has available no one qualified to assist him in this task, he must do most of it himself. Aside from the task of reading and evaluating printed materials, the pastor must find some way of storing these materials and organizing them so as to have available the materials he needs, when he needs them. Dr. Elgin S. Moyer, librarian at Moody Bible Institute, reports a comment from one of his professors, “There are two ways of securing the information we need; one, having it in our memory, and the other, knowing where to find what we …

The Factors Of Attention In Preaching, Paul Andrew Boecler

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem that initiated this study centered around the importance that must be placed upon attention. If a man is to preach the Word of God he can do little if he does not have the attention of the listeners to his message. Even the correct doctrinal preaching of the Word will come to nothing if the message cannot gain the attention of the hearers.

A Study Of Jesus' Counseling Techniques With Individuals In The Gospel Of St John Chapters Three And Four, Edward A. Rauff

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem which this paper attempts to study and solve: Can the non- directive or psychanalytic approaches to counseling subtly presupposed in most counseling literature be the modus operandi of the Christian minister when these approaches are examined against the attitudes and methods of Jesus towards individuals as recorded in the Gospels, especially chapters three and four of St. John?

The Doctrine Of Sanctification In The Christian And Missionary Alliance, Raymond H. Davis

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is the will endeavor to set forth the official doctrine of the Alliance as it is found in the official documents of the Society and in the writings of Dr. Simpson and Dr. Pardington. We will look briefly into the background of these men, and will make an exegetical study of the Scriptures on which they based their doctrine. 1 will also endeavor to express the doctrine of sanctification that is being taught by those who do not hold to the views of Simpson and Pardington, as it is being taught in the majority of Alliance Churches today, …

An Historical Survey Of The Doctrine Of The Holy Spirit In The Old And New Testaments And Intertestamental Periods, Ralph Frederick Juengel

Bachelor of Divinity

Since the Holy Spirit is only referred to explicitly three times in the Old Testament, the reader is amazed that such a jump can be made by John, or Christ for that matter, when speaking about the Holy Spirit, without having to explain just whom they mean. The Jews never take issue with the term in the New Testament. Apparently there must have been some doctrine or teaching prevalent in Christ's day, upon which the fuller revelation is based. The problem of this thesis is to try and find a bridge for the gap between the periods. This demands a …

Aspects Of The Relationship Of Faith To Conscience In Luther's Sermons, 1528-1532, William Arthur Olsen

Bachelor of Divinity

A brief study revealed numerous examples of the close relationship Luther established between faith and conscience in both his formal theological writings and his sermons as they have come down to us. This thesis seeks on a 1imited scale to establish and delineate that relationship between faith and conscience in the theology of Luther.

Both terms about which the thesis revolves are very prominent in the writings of Luther. That “faith” is a decisive and frequently used word in his theology seems to require no documentation.

Christianity And The Mystery Religions Wit Special Reference To Mithraism, Edwin Lehman

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem of the relationship of the mystery religions to Christianity Is no mere academic question. While the common layman has very likely never heard of the mystery religions he at least has been indirectly influenced by thoughts which these re1igions have provoked. The entire modern school of liberal criticism is based to a greater or lesser degree upon the thesis that Christianity was merely an outgrowth of the mystery-religions, one which evolved to a higher degree to be sure, but one which nevertheless borrowed most of its theological content and form directly from the mystery religions. It is this …
