The Colossians Heresy, Gabriel H. Mendelman

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis covers the main body of the letter to the Colossians. It contains no remarks on the greeting, 1:1-3, or on the highly personalized conclusion in chapter 4. The concern of the writer is with the polemical portions of the Letter. It has been examined under five headings: first, The Congregation is Faithful; second, The Introductory Prayer; third, The Positive Doctrinal Statement; fourth, The Direct Attack on the Errorists; and fifth, The Practical Exhortations.

The Concept Of Human Nature And Destiny In Recent Psycho-Sociological Studies, Paul Heyne

Bachelor of Divinity

The emphasis in this paper will be on the Neo-Freudians, the “psych-sociologists” who made use of Freud’s method and in the course of their investigation developed a concept of human nature radically different from his. The continuities will be stressed throughout, for this paper is intended to indicate the similarities and the differences between the “scientific” theory of human nature whose study Freud initiated and the traditional theory of Christianity.

The Critical Study Of The Doctrine Of Baptism In The Catechism Of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, Richard George Maassel

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this study included an exegetical examination of the validity of the Scripture passages cited as proofs for the answers, a systematic examination of the questions and answers as to their doctrinal accuracy, and, to a lesser degree, a pedagogical study of the presentation as to its effectiveness.

The Concept Of Truth In The Gospel According To St. John, John D. Senter

Bachelor of Divinity

It is well known that the Christian religion offers an answer to the age-old question, “What is truth?" Perhaps it is not so well known that the answer which it gives does not have to be verbalized in such a way that "truth seems to be nothing more than an organized assemblage of highly abstract “concepts.” St. John managed to speak of the ultimate Truth of which Christianity speaks in such a manner that it is seen to be, as in fact it is, concrete, historical, and even personal, when he identified Truth with Jesus. Thus he also showed that …

The Synagogue As The Center Of The Sabbath Worship At The Time Of Christ, Gerald B. Wunrow

Bachelor of Divinity

The question which the writer has posed and has endeavored in some degree to answer in this study is: What was the synagogue like as a house of worship at the time of Christ? By way of shedding light on this question the study includes a brief survey of the origin and historica1 development of the synagogue, an examination of synagogue architecture in the early centuries of the common era, and a study of the Sabbath worship service as it probably took place at the time of Christ. The writer is fully aware that for want of exact historical and …

Naoε As A New Testament Figure For The Church, Maynard Dorow

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is a study of "temple" as a New Testament figure for the Church. The purpose has been to determine what this figure contributes to our understanding of the Church in the New Testament.

Joachim Of Flora And The Eternal Gospel, Theodore Moeller

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Joachim of Flora is one of the most facinating characters to arise out of the Middle Ages. In the centuries following his death he has become almost legendary, for as one author puts it, "The story of Joachim takes us into the atmosphere of charming legend." His own contacts with our present age are numerous, and yet he has remained relatively unknown. Dante admired him, honoring him with lines in the Divine Comedy, George Sand based one of her romances, Spiridon his life, and the philosophers such as Schelling and Hegel pay tribute to his work. Certainly such a figure …

The objectives of this study were: 1) to provide a plan to find the lost, 2) to show how the lost may be enlisted in the Sunday school, 2) to show ways to encourage regular attendance of all scholars, and 4) to win the lost in the Sunday school sessions or prepare them through Bible study and encourage church attendance so they may be won through other channels of the church.

The Basic Conflicts Of Christianity Versus Communism, James W. Zottnick

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The issue presented in this study, briefly stated, is: What are the fundamental differences between Christianity and communism, which stand in bold contrast today?

The Christian would dare not be asleep during such agitated times as these. Various answers are being propounded to meet the Red Menace, but unless they contain Christ and the Christian dynamic, they will ultimately fail. To be uninformed or misinformed, is to be ill-equipped for the present struggle.

Sunday School Supervision In The Local Church With Particular Reference To The Oregon Yearly Meeting Of Friends Church, M. Gene Hockett

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Following the regular routine of the Sunday School program with little plan for improvement is the mistake often made in the Sunday School. Almost no time or effort is taken to evaluate the present procedures. The writer desired to see the Sunday Schools of the Oregon Yearly Meeting receive proper supervision that they might operate as efficiently as possible.

The yalue of supervision was illustrated by Vieth when he stated:

Factories and commercial concerns recognize that at best they will run below one hundred percent efficiency. A corps of workers is employed to supervise what others are doing. These... do …

An Open Letter To The Publisher Of "Masonic Inspiration.", Paul M. Bretscher

Concordia Theological Monthly

This is a reply to your articles which appeared in Masonic Inspiration (April and July 1955), the one headed "Martin Luther- Our Illustrious Brother Mason" and the other "An Open Letter to Lutherans Spreading Anti-Masonic Propaganda." In the latter you attempt to provide evidence that though Luther may not have been a Mason himself, the friends who kidnapped and brought him safely to the Wartburg were members of the guild of Steinmetzen and therefore, so you conclude, Masons. In the same article you also attempt to refute objections raised by some Lutherans against religious and unchristian aspects and teachings of …

Cranmer's Legacy, Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

At Oxford in the nineteenth century at the height of the Tractarian Movement, the Evangelicals believed that the Tractarians had shown themselves opposed to the principles of the Reformation. Partially to counteract this movement a proposal was made to erect a memorial to the Reformation martyrs. Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley- the three men who had been burnt opposite Balliol College -were to be honored especially. Latimer and Ridley had died together there on October 16, 1555. Five months later, on the 21st of March, 1556, "in the same place where Ridley and Latimer had suffered," Thomas Cranmer was burnt. The …

Luther Speaks English, Lewis W. Spitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

On Reformation Day, 1955, the first volume of the great American edition of Luther's works was presented to the public. When complete with its fifty-five volumes, it will be by far the largest English edition, a truly outstanding monument of Luther scholarship and a major contribution to the mighty Luther renaissance in our century.

Luther On Faith, W. M. Oesch

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Reformation unleashed religious subjectivism and was a precursor of the egocentricity of the modem age. A Roman Catholic theologian who is perhaps the most eminent living dogmatician of his communion makes this claim. Michael Schmaus in his Katholische, Dogmatik (Vol 4, Part 1, 1952) holds that the type of faith which Luther expressed and propagated disregards all religious authority which is not centered in the direct approach of the soul to God.

The Rsv And The Small Catechism, George V. Schick

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the theological literature of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod it has been the practice to quote Scripture passages in English in the form in which they appear in the King James Version of 1611. The revision of 1881-1885 and the revision of 1901 in no way affected this custom. Neither achieved any great measure of popularity. The situation appears to be somewhat different in the case of the Holy Bible, Revised Standard Version, which appeared upon the market in 1952 under copyright of the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United …

Studies on the Old Testament Texts

Lntertestamental Studies 1946-1955, Raymond F. Surburg

Concordia Theological Monthly

Modern Biblical studies stress the importance of an acquaintance with the era between the Testaments as a necessary aid in understanding the New Testament. It is the time span from the Medo-Persian to the Roman period. Between these two epochs is the Grecian period. During these four centuries the seat of world empire moved from the East to the West, from Asia to Europe. These years witnessed the rise of cities with Greek names in Palestine and gave us the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. It was in the Grecian period that the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes arose …

He Descended Into Hell. An Interpretation Of 1 Peter 3:18-20, Martin H. Scharlemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every Sunday our congregations confess their Christian faith. Each time they use the Apostles' Creed they include in their statement of belief the words "He descended into hell." In recent years this short sentence has come under considerable discussion within our own circles. There has been some question as to the significance of these words as they are used in the Creed. In view of this situation, it is most desirable to re-examine the desconsus in the light of Holy Scripture.
