The Attitude Of The Lutheran Church Of The 16th And 17th Centuries Towards Missions, Herbert H. Umbach

Bachelor of Divinity

In this thesis it shall be our aim to see on the basis of the facts at hand what really was the sentiment of the 16th and l7th. century Lutheran Church as regards the sphere of missions. And of course, in the treatment of a subject like this, aiming at a presentation of historic facts, there is but little room for originality. I have not, therefore, sought so much to be original as to be truthful, and have endeavored to gather from every accessible source all such historic data as tended to establish the object in view. The old principle …

Public Opinion In Germany On The Papacy And The Hierarchy During The Fourteenth Century And The Early Conciliar Period, R Nordsieck

Bachelor of Divinity

A thorough understanding of public opinion on the medieval ecclesiastical system is of great importance for the proper interpretation of the events leading up to the Reformation. The necessity of this becomes more apparent when we consider the vital position of the Church in the medieval system and the direct and immediate bearing it had on the daily pursuits, welfare, and happiness of the peoples of Western Europe not only as members of the Church, the Alleinseligmachende, but also as subjects of actual or, at least, theoretical feudal fiefs of the Apostolic See.

The Virgin Birth Of Christ, Edgar Reinhold Pflug

Bachelor of Divinity

It shall be our object to trace the history of the controversy over this doctrine from its very beginnings to the present time; to state briefly and to refute the arguments of the opposition; and finally to search out the true Biblical version of the Lord’s birth, of which we are confident that it will also be the view upheld by the Lutheran Church from its very inception.

The Geography Of The Psalms, Alexander Heidel

Bachelor of Divinity

This, however, is an entirely wrong conception. And it is the first object of this paper to show that the O. T. people by no means possessed such a limited knowledge of geography, but, on the contrary, were acquainted with a surprisingly large part of the known world. We shall not avail ourselves of all the different places and peoples mentioned in the various books of the O .T., but we shall rather confine ourselves to one book of the O.T. Scripture, and that is not even historical, much less geographical, but a devotional book, the hymnal and prayer book …

The Sunday And The Sabbath In The Light Of The Bible, Oscar H. Marten

Bachelor of Divinity

In this thesis it is our aim to find out what the Bible teaches us, concerning the Sabbath and the Sunday. In the first part we shall consider the Sabbath as to its origin and history; its significance; its abrogation.

Agnosticism, Ruth Agnes Grant

Bachelors’ Theses

Even in poetry is the existence of God proclaimed. Even in song are his praises sung. Millions of dollars are spent yearly erecting temples in his honor. Thousands of young men and women dedicate their lives to his service. Untold sacrifices are made in his name! In whose name? For whose service? Why, it is in the name, and for the service of that great infinite God who is the uncaused, first cause of all reality that began to be. Shall I tell these people that they are unreasonable, that there are acting in an illogical, irrational manner by serving …

The Apostolic Succession Of The Episcopal Church, W Poehler

Bachelor of Divinity

"By this term (Apostolic Succession) is understood the claim made by most episcopally ordained clergymen and bishops (Anglican, Syrian, and Catholic churches) that they constitute links in an uninterrupted chain of similarly ordained persons, the first of whom were ordained by the apostles themselves. With this opinion is combined the view that only clergymen who are in the line of this spiritual succession are entitled to a pastoral office in the Christian Church, and that all others usurp the functions of the ministry….. the authoritatively commissioned minister is the proper divine instrumentality through which Christ, the exalted invisible Head of …

The Teleological Argument For The Existence Of God, Louis A. Wilson

Bachelors’ Theses

After all, the mystic's position is not wholly unintelligible. For while his imagination serves him as an immediate perceptive faculty with which he sees God in his every glance at the universe, his view is not without a philosophical basis. It is from the data furnished us by the universe of our experience that Natural Theology is able to arrive at the knowledge of the existence of God. In doing so it may employ either of three ·types of arguments. If it begins with a consideration of the primary attributes proper to all finite beings as such, it is metaphysical; …

Zionism From Haran To Lausanne., Albert N. Mandelbaum

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many writers on Zionism endeavor to explain the causes that contributed to its creation and developments. Most of these writers are extremists in their views. Some ascribe Zionism to the internal force only. Others ascribe it to the external force only. The religionists gloat over the idea that modern Zionism is the result of inner yearning of the Jewish people for a restored Palestine, where the glory of God will be returned unto Zion. The nationalists believe that Zionism has come into existence because of external influences only. The Jew has been oppressed, discriminated against and persecuted. He attempted to …

Character Building Through Literature, Mary Ignatia Wiesner

Bachelors’ Theses

To make straight the paths for the poets, and the critics, the terms literature and character shall be defined, the extent, as well as the limitation, of the influence of literature on character outlined, and a method of approach to the study of literature discussed. First, then, there will be a discussion of terms, then the opinions of writers on the moral values of literature, and finally, in the light of this discussion, this paper will attempt to show whether these writers claim more for literature than it actually can and does accomplish, and just how literature can be made …

The Synonymns Of Conversion, W H. Mclaughlin

Bachelor of Divinity

The over-systematization tendency in theology has had many sad consequences. Among these are not only the perverted harmonization efforts, which in the doctrine of election have led to the Calvinistic and the synergistic solutions of the “Cur alii prae aliis?" dilemma, and in the doctrine of justification have resulted in a lamentable confounding of Law and Gospel in quest of a "higher harmony”, but also certain subtly scholastic unscriptural distinctions which discriminate between the effect of the preached and of the written Word, endeavor to establish a different working for each of the sacraments, and have also borne fruit in …

Lessons To Be Learnt From The History And Development Of The Halle-Leipzig Mission In India, H Earl Miller

Bachelor of Divinity

We may, without doing violence to truth, speak of the unbroken continuity of the Halle-Leipzig mission from the days of Ziegenbalg down to the present time, a period of 222 years. In more than one respect, this mission has been the outstanding force in the history of missionary endeavor in India, and we may well expect to profit from an examination of its history and development.

Speeches In The Book Of Acts, C C. Nieman

Bachelor of Divinity

While a discussion or the isagogical questions of Acts does not belong into the sphere of this treatise properly, we will find that a consideration of the most pertinent questions in the field will be helpful and explanatory of various phrases which will be used. We will, however, limit ourselves to only a few of the most important and evident questions, lest we stray to far afield. Again, let me add, that no arguments pro and con will be advanced, but only the results and conclusions of the most eminent scholars in the field will be presented, in order to …
