Preserve The Unity Of The Spirit, Richard R. Caemmerer Sr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

Surely there is no gift for the human race that we desire more at this hour than unity. Nations fight nations, classes stand embattled against classes, spouses and children draw apart from each other. The most deadly illness of the individual today is alienation, the sense of being alone. Would that there could be unity to draw us together!

The Christian Century As A Spokesman For Liberal Protestantism In The Early Depression Years, 1929-1933, David Mccall

Bachelor of Divinity

The social gospel for which the Century-spoke led it to just such active involvement. It brought its Christian commitment to bear on every important facet of American life. These facets fall into three broad classifications. They are social issues, economic issues and political issues. Attention will be focused on these to determine just how the Christian Century put its creed into practice.

Documentation: What's Around The Corner For Humanity In The Life Sciences?, Paul E. Lutz

Concordia Theological Monthly

My comments here are restricted to those biological breakthroughs that will have some theological or moralistic implications. You must, therefore, understand that this restriction eliminates an enormous number of small and some very large advances in the area of basic biological research. Detailed research, for example, on mitochondrial DNA, mechanisms for hydrogenation in photosynthesis, insect photoperiodism, bacterial taxonomy, and phosphorus metabolism by planktonic desmids will all be very exciting and will significantly advance those areas. But there are few if any direct theological; ethical, or philosophical conceptual spin-offs from such studies.

My remarks are structured in three basic areas of …

The Doctrine Of Man In William Golding's Lord Of The Flies, Howard W. Kramer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Since Lord of the Flies is so frequently found on the required reading list of English literature courses, it is to be expected that the theme of the novel is the subject of frequent discussions in literary circles and perhaps even in gatherings of much less sophisticated readers. One would, then, be inclined to examine seriously the theme of a novel as widely read and discussed as is Lord of the Flies. Since the theme of the novel involves so fundamental a concept as the doctrine of man, one may surmise that the average reader finds an unusual attraction in …

Evaluation Of Current Lutheran Materials Training The Congregation To Worship, Duane Brunette

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The initial approach of this paper is to define worship as a basis for the evaluation of the materials. Its premise is that worship is an action on the part of the Christian.

The Church's Responsibility In International Affairs, Richard Jungkuntz

Concordia Theological Monthly

The nature of the church's responsibility in this area of concern (as in all others) can be rightly understood only when it is seen in keeping with the nature of the church itself.

The Board of Parish Education of the Florida-Georgia District, LCMS, has issued a statement concerning procedures for Lutheran parochial schools in the district when the situation involves an attempt to avoid the desegregated public schools.

The statement suggests that the policy of each school should be one of encouragement for all races, and that "no ulterior motives which may influence the transfer of children to private schools be abetted or even encouraged.

Ethics And Modernization : A Preliminary Study On The Quality Of Human Life, Stanley Wilson Croker

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The basic problem examined in this thesis has two focii - social ethics and modernization. Is there a relationship between social ethics and modernization? If so, what is the nature of this relationship and what is the effect of this relationship in practice? In examining these questions, two things have been attempted: (1) a preliminary and selective examination of current literature on modernization in order to come to a better understanding of what the concept means, of the problem areas that need clarification, and of how values affect the process of modernization, both implicitly and explicitly; and (2) and examination …

The Church In The Dramas Of T. S. Eliot, Rebecca Ellen Dunn

All Master's Theses

From the desolation of a sterile Waste Land populated by straw men, Eliot's dramas increasingly portray a world of great meaning and hope. His early dramas portray a hostile and insensible world which must be fought and completely rejected by religious persons who are called to martyrdom and sainthood. Eliot's acceptance of the material world and comfort with its society brings a steady transformation of his spiritual vision when at the end of his dramas the world is one of common people who strive to find meaning and "make the best of a bad job," illumined by a vision of …

The Movement Toward Religious Liberty: An Examination Of The Factors Responsible For The First Amendment To The Constitution Of The United States, William Grese

Bachelor of Divinity

This is the context in which this research paper is written though its goal is much more modest. We do not hope to settle the question of the intent of our founding fathers. But we want to try to determine whether the churches were at all involved in this movement toward religious freedom. Were they in favor of a separation between church and state, or did they only seek to end preference? Or were they not involved at all? At the same time, we also want to examine the various factors responsible for the first amendment and to see what …

The Origin Of The Concept Of The Day Of Yahweh: A Survey Of Modern Opinions, Thomas A. Hoffman

Master's Essays (1922 - )

The eight century B. C. was a period of violent contrasts for the two tiny states that had descended from the empire of David and Solomon. It began with the last years of the destructive Syrian wars and vivid memories of the internal disorders accompanying the rise of the Jehu dynasty, reached a peak of prosperity and apparant (sic) well-being under Jeroboam II in the North and Uzziah and Jotham in the South, and then ended in total destruction of the Northern Kingdom and humiliating subjugation for the South at the hands of the Assyrians. It is from this period …

The Church In Your House- A Study Into The Form And Function Of The Primitive Church, Paul Biegner

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

A search for new forms of church and new patterns of ministry and mission has occupied parts of the church in the western world for the past ten years or so. Both the concern for the doctrine of the church and for the cutting edge of mission dominate the search for new forms. That search has yielded varied patterns, many of which utilize face-to-face contact in smaller groups to meet the challenges of mass-man in a depersonalized society. Some of these new forms of church and church ministry and mission have claimed a relationship to “the church in your house”.

The Theological Significance Of The Dead Sea Scrolls, Joachim Jeremias, David Zersen (Translator)

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the shepherd boy Muhammad ed-Deeb ("The Wolf”) of the half-nomadic tribe Ta'amire threw a stone into a cave to pass the time, it clattered so strangely that he was convinced an evil djin was after him. He ran away in panic-stricken terror, never suspecting that his name would go down in the history of scholarship. He had discovered Cave 1 at Qumran on the northwest coast of the Dead Sea. On the next day of that summer -presumably it was 1947 - he ventured to climb into the cave with his pluckier cousin. They found eight clay jars which …

The Day Of The Lord, Ralph W. Klein

Concordia Theological Monthly

What does it mean for Yahweh to have a day? Sigmund Mowinckel saw it as a day of manifestation or epiphany at the New Year's festival, including the celebration of Yahweh's kingship and His saving acts for His people. The eschatological day of Yahweh is only the final and supreme day of Yahweh's enthronement, entirely secondary to His cult day.
