The Relationship Of Group Psychology To The Work Of The Holy Ghost, Marvin L. Albers

Bachelor of Divinity

The thesis which this paper will seek to set forth and defend is that there is a relationship existing between the two. This relationship, however, does not reach the status of a. correlation. The two are not equal, rather, group psychology is a tool through which a minister can become a more effective agent in the work of the Holy Ghost.

The Historical Development Of The World Council Of Churches With Special Reference To American Lutheran Participation, Ralph Underwager

Bachelor of Divinity

This is a quest into the historical development of the World Council of Churches as an expression of the faith, life, and witness of the churches of our time. The historical perspective includes the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as a whole, but particular emphasis will fall on the years since 1910, the date of the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland. Major movements, the men that guided them, and significant historical realities, with special attention given to the extent of American Lutheran participation, will form the major part of this inquiry.

The Rise Of Fraternal Organizations In The United States In The Second Half Of The Nineteenth Century, Frederick William Dodge

Bachelor of Divinity

Many Lutherans have written on the subject of fraternal organizations. Their interest has usually been the doctrine of the lodge as opposed to the doctrine of the Church. It is hoped that this study may be a start toward our task of “rounding out" our understanding of fraternal organizations. I trust that the Commission on Fraternal Organizations of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod will find it possible to continue studies in this direction.

Anglican Christology Of The Upper Stream From '"Lux Mundi" To "Essays Catholic And Critical.", Norman Nagel

Concordia Theological Monthly

When a certain theologian was asked what in English theology would most reward study, with twinkling and Teutonic eye he replied, "They don't have any." Now it is true that the issues which have most exercised churchmen in this country do not seem to have been primarily theological One ncvcr ceases to wonder at the thousands of parish priests in the sixteenth century who found no difficulty in making do whatever new or revised prayer book happened to come to them in the post. When divisions came, they were summed up in terms more of polity than of theology.

Johann Von Staupitz : His Life, His Writings, His Influence Upon Luther, Martin W. Heinicke

Bachelor of Divinity

Before despair and doubt could completely wreck his mind and life, a new influence entered into his life - a person who was to bring about the new appreciation of God and His Son, Christ. Pointing him to the wounds of Christ and the love of God, taking his mind from the despairing and damning thoughts of predestination, giving him courage and advice when needed, and stimulating him in his search for truth and assurance, was Johann von Staupitz, the Vicar-General of the Augustinian Eremites of Germany, Luther's friend and spiritual father.

The Care Of Souls As It Relates To Marriage Counseling, David H. Brammer

Bachelor of Divinity

The minister's field in counseling is related to the pastoral office, and it is the scope of this paper to endeavor to show just why the function of marriage counseling fits into a pastor's total care of souls. Indeed, this thesis intends to show how necessary it is for the pastor to recognize the needs for his services in this field and, in an overview, how he can approach them in his counseling.

Achieving Homiletical Skills And Techiques From Jesus' Use Of The Parable, Ronald Starenko

Bachelor of Divinity

For the Christian preacher Jesus Christ the Lord is both the model and the message. Our purpose is concerned with Him as the model. Observation reveals that modern preaching is desperately in need of such a model. This thesis may serve to stimulate interest and provide thoughts and hints concerning the preaching skill of the Savior that will lead to public preaching akin to His.

General Principles Of Child Evangelism With Special Reference To The Age Group Six To Twelve, Albert Gackle

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Facts generally accepted in the field of Christian Education show that the boy and girl in the age group of six to twelve is stepping over into another world. Life is becoming very real to them and they require the real, the true, and the genuine to satisfy their longings. They are discriminators between fact and fiction and very frequently note things long before they attract the attention of an adult. Their conscience is yet tender, the impulse to obey is strong, and the implicit faith of the earlier years still lingers with them. It is a time in their …

An Evaluation Of Church School Methods In The N.W. Canada Conference Of The Evangelical United Brethren Church, Herbert H. Bock

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Education and religion have been compatible throughout the centuries of civilization. Where there has been religion there has been education in order to propagate the beliefs of religion. A good system of education is absolutely essential in order to adequately propagate the Gospel of Christ.

The teaching methods and educational philosophies prevalent in many of the churches today are influenced by the emphasis in secular and modern educational procedures.

It was the purpose of this study 1) to point out a few of the basic emphases of modern educational procedure; 2) to make an evaluation of the church school methods …

A Critical Study Of Youth And Youth Work And A Workable Plan Of Youth Evangelism For The Local Church, Charles L. Ritter

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The youth of the United States of America have fallen to the lowest moral and spiritual level of any generation of youth which has yet lived in this country. Never before was there a time when such a majority of the criminals were of the adolescent and youth age. Secular authorities along with moralists and religious leaders are alarmed and are searching earnestly for an answer to the problems of juvenile delinquency. The glamorous advertising of liquor, superemphasizing of sex, glorification of materialism, degeneration of the home, along with numerous other anti-spiritual emphases of the past decade, has produced a …

A Study Of The Problem Of A Personal Devil And Its Relationship To Latter-Day Saint Beliefs, Lamar E. Garrard

Theses and Dissertations

The problem of the existence of a devil is important, since it relates to other beliefs which a person or his religion may uphold. The orthodox Christian concepts of the divinity of Christ, the Fall of man, the Atonement, and the inspiration of the Bible are altered when a belief in Satan is discarded.

The prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) take a very definite stand concerning the existence of Satan. They declare that the devil and his angels exist and that they tempt and try to deceive men. L.D.S. scriptures, given through modern revelation, …

The Christian Hope, Herbert J. Bouman

Concordia Theological Monthly

The general theme of the second assembly of the World Council of Churches at Evanston was "Christ, the Hope of the World." The theme of this essay is related to the message of Evanston. It bids us take note of the fact that we are to deal with the concept "hope" as qualified by the word "Christian." The world also has hope, or rather, hopes; for it has no single, well-defined aspiration. The hope of the world is materialistic, this worldly, earth-bound. But the hope of the world is illusory. It has no solid basis, no tangible object or goal. …
