The Relationship Of The Church To The National Culture In America, Ernest B. Koenker

Concordia Theological Monthly

As one considers the cultural complex of America today, there are a number of questions which might present themselves to the Christian living under the Word. What are the values which underlie our national culture, and is there any sense in which these are being absolutized today in some kind of Messianism? Can one say that the Christian churches in America, or the Lutheran Church, have profoundly shaped our culture, or have the churches themselves been thoroughly shaped by the culture? In view of the loss or muffling of a dynamic Christian witness in many of the American denominations, what …

Theological Issues At Evanston, F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The second assembly of the World Council of Churches will be held at Evanston, Ill., August 15-31, 1954. The 161 member churches will be represented by 600 official delegates, 600 accredited visitors, 150 theological consultants, 120 youth consultants, fraternal delegates, and official observers from nonmember churches. The Christian world is vitally interested in the Evanston assembly, because the chief concern of this gathering will be to agree on the "Christian message" which the member churches of the W. C. C. will proclaim to the world. This message comprises a main theme and six subthemes, which will receive intensive study in …

The Christian Response To Sickness, Kenneth R. Young

Bachelor of Divinity

Some of the questions this study attempts to answer include the following. What does God's Word teach concerning sickness? What is the cause and purpose of sickness? Is euthanasia right or wrong? Should the Church practice what is called faith-healing? Does God want the Church to act so as to prevent and treat sickness? How can the Church best minister to those who are sick? What is the task of a chaplain and how can he most successfully carry it out? How should the individual Christian respond to sickness when he is well? How ought a Christian respond to his …

The Thought Of Stephen Toulmin And Some Theological Reflections, Kenneth Frese

Bachelor of Divinity

The five major works of Stephen Edelston Toulmin, currently professor of philosophy at Brandeis University, that will be treated in this paper are "Contemporary Scientific Mythology," An Examination of the Place of Reason in Ethics, Foresight and Understanding, The Philosophy of Science, and The Uses of Argument.? It will be my object to set forth the essentials of Toulmin's thought concerning first science and secondly extra-scientific endeavors, especially theology; to relate some of Mr. Toulmin's conclusions to those of two prominent exponents of "ordinary language" philosophy, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Gilbert Ryle; and finally to look at the work of a …

Martin Luther's Concept Of The Devil, Lester Zeitler

Bachelor of Divinity

It must be kept in mind that this thesis does not propose to relate and discuss in great detail every minute phase of Luther's concept of the devil. Such a study would take several years, for thoughts concerning the devil permeated nearly every area of Luther's writings. The St. Louis edition of Luther's Works devotes nearly twenty-two columns to an index registering Luther's comments on the devil. This thesis then may be more properly called a general overview of Luther's demonology.

Principles For Winning Unchurched High School Youth For Christ, Raymond Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

Winning people for Christ includes, necessarily, these two main emphases: namely, evangelism and Christian Education. Those are the two emphases used both by the apostles and by the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod of our own day. To these two emphases must be added that of youth work in general. Thus, this study forms a synthesis of Christian education, evangelism, and youth work, and it is an attempt at outlining a program which will best answer the question, "How can the Church win the unchurched youth for Christ?"

The Psychological Interaction Between Speaker And Hearer As The Holy Spirit Works Through The Proclamation Of The Word, Norman Steffen

Bachelor of Divinity

This study seeks to treat the field of psychology as it explores speech and hearing. The subjects considered will be the participants in the preaching situation, pastor and congregation.

Some Scriptural Aspects Of Processes In Nature, August C. Rehwaldt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Nature is like a veil. It both reveals and conceals the truth. What William Taylor says of the parable may also be applied to nature: " ... a cloud luminous to some, yet dark to others; the enveilment, but also the unveiling, of the truth to men." If nature appeals only to our intellect, we shall see only that which lies on the surface.

In Perils In The Pulpit, Rudolph Norden

Concordia Theological Monthly

Offhand, a person would consider the pulpit one of the safest places on earth. The sanctuary audience seated around this listening post is well behaved and for the most part friendly to the pulpit's occupant. No projectiles indicating forceful disapproval will be hurled. In this respect there is a difference between the church and the public forum. In the latter controversial questions in politics or labor relations are often discussed more in the heat than the light of intense feeling. Emotion, more frequently than thought, becomes father to ill-advised deeds, such as giving flight to overripe vegetables, empty beverage bottles, …

A Prolegomenon To New Testament Language In Light Of Contemporary Linguistic Analysis : A Look At Paul’S Meaning And Use Of Theological Language In I Corinthians 2:6-16, John Stern

Bachelor of Divinity

This, then, is the purpose of this study: to look more closely at what scholars in many fields have had to say regarding the matter of human language and its ability to make religious assertions. In an attempt to define this purpose more accurately, it will be necessary to: (a) examine the field of contemporary Linguistic Analysis in light of its historical setting;(b) describe the relationship between the phenomenology of language and religious language; (c) consider the work being done presently in the area of modern linguistic studies in biblical research and see its effect upon the formation of theological …

The Nature Of Man In The Philosophy Of John Dewey, Richard E. Sommerfeld

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this study has been to find, through an examination of John Dewey's writings, his thoughts and ideas on the question of the nature of man. Dewey has never spoken out on this subject directly. There is only a paragraph here and a sentence there. By employing these sentences and paragraphs as they came from Dewey's pen, a systematic and valid presentation of Dewey's position has been prepared.

Luther On War And Revolution, H. R. Klann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Secular authority, according to Luther, is in a sense the extension of patriarchal authority to the community. As such it is part of the present order of creation, by which Luther meant the conditions of human activity and existence in history. However, its constitutional form, like all other political settlements within the frame of Moral Law, was for him a matter of human expediency. For his part, Luther was content to accept the political settlement of his time.

A Comparative Study Of Teaching Methods Used In Selected Primary And Secondary Christian Schools And The Public Schools In The Fields Of English And The Social Studies, Paul W. Kirgiss

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

American education has drifted into the gravest crisis in its three-hundred year history. Deteriorating buildings and the shortage of teachers are only part of this crisis. Most important is what is being taught the children of this country and how it is being taught. Very subtly, in fact, probably unnoticed by most of the American people, highly organized left-wing and right-wing extremist groups are pressuring the public schools in an attempt to capture the minds of the students -- the minds of the future citizens of the United States. These pressure groups have already gained a foothold in a number …

The Minister's Relationship To The Mentally Ill, Richard H. Tusant Jr.

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

One of the pertinent duties of the minister has been to counsel with the people who come to his office about the problems of life. There are many people who, some time or another, need this type of counseling. Under the proper ministerial guidance they can meet the problems and come away with a sense of relief. The author made an attempt to show the particular ministry of the clergyman to those mentally and emotionally disturbed.

Certain Basic Concepts In The Educational Philosophy Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints 1830-1930, Wendell O. Rich

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study is an attempt to search out and define, where possible, certain basic concepts in the educational philosophy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints during its first century from 1830 to 1930. Commonly known as the Mormon Church, the membership numbered approximately one million two hundred thousand in 1954. While concentrated largely in the Western United States area, it has many congregations across the United States and scattered in countries throughout the world. Showing an active interest in education, the Church has sponsored a program both formal and informal in nature. This program, with its accompanying …
