The Moral And Spiritual Qualifications Of The Biblical Interpreter, Raymond F. Surburg

Concordia Theological Monthly

The existence of many different Christian sects and denominations, although all purport to base their theological tenets on the Bible, has been a source of great perplexity to Christian and non-Christian students of the religious life of the past and present. While a number of reasons have been advanced for this situation, one of the underlying causes has been correctly stated by Burrows when he wrote: "Wrong methods of interpretation and use have prevented Christians hitherto from arriving at any unity in their understanding of the Scriptures."

Armageddon, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

This name was heard a good deal about forty years ago; the late Theodore Roosevelt used it in his speeches, calling his followers to join him in a holy political crusade; a decisive battle was going to be fought at Armageddon. He mentioned that the trusts, and capitalists in general, had overreached themselves and that an energetic campaign had to be waged against forces destroying the economic and political freedom which our country had been enjoying. "We stand at Armageddon," he shouted, "and battle for the lord." Evidently the term had a symbolic significance as used by him.

An Evaluation Of Adult Confirmation Materials, Frederick Koehler

Bachelor of Divinity

Working with adults has proved to me an enjoyable and rewarding experience. This thesis is written with a desire to help give adults that which has proved to be a blessing to me and to fulfill in their lives this same joy which they may have never known.

The author does not pretend to be an authority on this subject matter, but is writing on adult confirmation materials merely because of his love in this field. Neither does he intend to exhaust all the material related to this paper, but merely to present an overview in order to evaluate some …

Martin Luther The Formative Years, Erwin A. Gerken

Bachelor of Divinity

As one thinks of this great Reformer, this man of God, theologian, Bible translator, catechist, hymnist, bold champion of the freedom of the conscience, founder of the Lutheran Church, leader of the Reformation which carried Christendom back to the Bible - one hesitates to attempt to write a thesis on his formative years. Yet it is so arresting and inspiring, that in joy, yet with all humility, I shall attempt in the following pages to describe this man and trace his development in thought and life which led to the posting of the Ninety-five Theses on October 31, 1517.

An Analysis Of The Extent Of Growth In Doctrinal Knowledge Of St Louis Children In The Nine Months After Confirmation, Donald William Backus

Bachelor of Divinity

In an effort to determine a partial answer to the question whether or not children grow in doctrinal knowledge and understanding during the post-confirmation period, the following study was made among St. Louis children over the period of nine months after confirmation. Inasmuch, as the study confines itself to children in St. Louis, to a specific type of material, generalizations should be made cautiously. It would not necessarily be valid, for example, without careful comparison of all the variables, to conclude that children in a small rural parish in Texas would show the same rate or direction of growth that …

The Life And Work Of Ezra, Paul A. Vojtko

Bachelor of Divinity

Ezra was one of the great men of Jewish history. It has been said, and rightly so, that with Ezra, one stands at the cradle of Judaism. In Jewish tradition he figures as a second Moses. He wielded a tremendous influence upon the Jewish nation, the effects of which are felt to this very day. He set an indelible mark upon succeeding ages. He was largely responsible for the course Judaism took after the exilic period. Through his untiring efforts the law which was originally given by Moses, but much since that time had been neglected, was restored to the …

The Place Of Prayer In The Sanctification Of Christian Life, James G. Manz

Concordia Theological Monthly

Prayer, in and by itself, makes no one holy. It is only the person who is already holy in Christ who truly prays. One's whole conception of Christianity can be perverted if one begins to speak about prayer without first relating it to the Word of the Gospel. A word of warning from Luther is in place as we begin to consider the subject of this paper: But I would counsel you, if you wish to pray, fast, or establish some foundation in the Church, take heed not to do it in order to obtain some benefit, whether temporal or …

Concerning The Ministry Of The Church, Elmer J. Moeller

Concordia Theological Monthly

The editorial committee had hoped to publish this article in the February issue of this journal as a companion article to the one by H. G. Brueggemann, "The Public Ministry in the Apostolic Age." February issue, 1951. Circumstances beyond the control both of the editorial committee and of the author made it impossible to carry our this plan.

An Examination And Refutation Of Mary Baker Eddy's Teaching On Marriage, Paul Ludwig Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

It may surprise most people to read in the official Church Manual of Christian Science these words, “If a Christian Scientist is to be married, the ceremony shall be performed by a clergyman who is legally authorized." Why does the Christian Science Church itself provide no marriage ceremony for its members, but insists that if they desire that estate they must be married by some authorized clergyman of another Church? Only through a study of Mrs. Eddy's teaching on marriage can the answer be found. But a study or Mrs. Eddy's teaching of marriage necessitates also an examination of her …

Form-Criticisim: A Critique And An Evaluation, Robert Jaeger

Bachelor of Divinity

The present thesis cannot do full justice to that comprehensive title for the simple reason that the field of form-criticism is far too broad and complex for the writer to treat it exhaustively in one paper. This thesis will attempt in part to delineate for the reader what form-criticism is and how it works.

Peirasmos In The New Testament - Its Exegetical And Theological Implications, Delwin B. Schneider

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the aim of this study to present the Christian doctrine of temptation as it is found in the words Πeιpόςw and Πeιpθθwός in the New Testament. The terms appear frequently upon its pages. It is my purpose to study these appearances as they are found in the original text and upon such a study formulate the basic New Testament conception of temptation.

The History, Doctrines, And Customs Of The Amish Mennonite Church, Robert N. Raabe

Bachelor of Divinity

This dissertation is an account of the conservative descendants of the party known during the Reformation as the Anabaptists. That group of people has been viciously denounced by practically every historian since the Reformation. Few peop1e have dated to defend the Anabaptist party. Most of the criticism directed at them is undoubtedly authentic and unimpeachable. We are not trying to vindicate Anabaptist policies nor whitewash their faults.

The Problen Of The Apparent Conflict Between Paul And James, Paul Ph Spitz

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem of the exposition of justification is not, however, the only point on which the Epistle of James and the works of Paul are said to vary. Other difficulties that have been cited include the apostles' supposedly varying concepts of sin, their description of God, and the lack of emphasis regarding Christ in the epistle James wrote as compared to the Christ-centered exposition of doctrine penned by Paul.

On these points, as we shall find in this thesis, the difference lies not so much in the words that are expressed by the apostles, but rather in the scope of …

The Psychology Of Prayer, David Preisinger

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This thesis proposes to present a brief description of the kind of prayer that possesses the three characteristics named above. The discussion is arranged according to the following outline: prayer according to the New Testament, prayer and religious experience. and God, as the impulse; for prayer.

The Words Of Institution- An Exegetical Study, Reuben A. Kruggel

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The words of institution for the Lord's Supper can be taken absolutely literally. The only words which require any interpretation are “body” and “blood." These can be interpreted only in the light of the concept of "communion.” On the basis of the text and in harmony with the Lutheran confessions this leads to three points, often called the Shibboleths of the doctrine.

A Critical Study Of The Evidence Pertaining To Certain Disputed Sites In Palestine, Erich Kiehl

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In the following chapters, we will draw on the observations and findings of these four periods to help to determine the validity or doubtfulness of the various identifications of the sites in question: Bethsaida, Mount of Beattitudes, Cana, Bethany beyond the Jordan, Emmaus, and the Calvary-Tomb area. Special reference will be made to the traditions, on which archaeologists later draw for information. We shall see that, however important traditions may be, it is dangerous to over-emphasize their importance. The occasion will present itself to cite a number of instances of this fact.

Confirmation Instruction In The Light Of Adolescent Psychology, Donald Roth

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It was not the purpose of this study to deal with the liturgical aspects of the rite of confirmation itself but rather with the preparation and instruction that precedes confirmation. Generally, the confirmation instruction spoken of will be that practiced in the Lutheran Church, most often th.at practiced in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. However, much of the material was drawn and applies also to confirmation instruction in other church bodies and to similar practices in the non-liturgical churches.

The Meaning And Significance Of The Suffering And Death Of Christ As Found In I Peter, Norman Brauer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This paper is an exegetical study of the eight passages in this Epistle which have a. reference to the blood, suffering, or sacrifice of Christ. The purpose of this thesis is to arrive at an understanding of the meaning and significance of the work of Christ according to Peter’s First Epistle. In chapters two, three, and four the writer will examine particularly those passages which state the doctrinal viewpoint of Peter concerning the suffering and death of Christ. In the remaining three chapters the writer will endeavor to determine the significance that the Apostle places upon the passion of Christ; …
