The Significance Of Δei In The Lukan Writings, Robinson Radjagukguk May 1973

The Significance Of Δei In The Lukan Writings, Robinson Radjagukguk

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This thesis represents an attempt to investigate the true meaning and significance of the notion of "necessity" (δετ), as it appears in the New Testament, particularly in the Lukan writings.


The Pneuma As Authority And Moving Force In Paul, With Special Reference To 2 Corinthians 3:17, Roger Beese May 1973

The Pneuma As Authority And Moving Force In Paul, With Special Reference To 2 Corinthians 3:17, Roger Beese

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This thesis proposes to discuss the pneuma theology of St. Paul on the basis of the much disputed seventeenth verse of 2 Corinthians 3 and related passages. The study will concentrate on the role of pneuma as authority and moving force in the Pauline congregation. The word pneuma is used frequently in Paul's letters, particularly in the Pillar Epistles, in a variety of contexts. Pneuma is unquestionably a key concept in Pauline theology. A study of Paul's pneuma theology, then, is a vital one, for it strikes close to the heart of his entire theological thinking. The centrality of his …


A History Of The Research Of Exodus 18:1-12 With A Critical Evaluation And Suggestions For Further Progress, Andrew Chiu May 1973

A History Of The Research Of Exodus 18:1-12 With A Critical Evaluation And Suggestions For Further Progress, Andrew Chiu

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

In order to capture an over-all view of the research of Ex. 18:1-12, the study will proceed from a historical perspective, stating and critically evaluating in chronological order the theses of major scholars both for and against the Kenite hypothesis. Then the research will turn to a new dimension of the study of this pericope. Finally, the dissertation will present a critical scrutiny of the text itself. By way of textual criticism, literary criticism, form criticism, tradition criticism, redaction criticism, and historical analysis of the text, the study will make an attempt to search out what the text meant in …


The Return-To-Origins Motif In Pauline Theology And Its Significance For A Theological Interpretation Of Messianic And Millenarian Movements In Melanesia, John Gerhard Strelan May 1973

The Return-To-Origins Motif In Pauline Theology And Its Significance For A Theological Interpretation Of Messianic And Millenarian Movements In Melanesia, John Gerhard Strelan

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The thrust of the present study is not that the return-to-origins motif dominates Pauline theology to the exclusion of all other themes. It is, however, suggested that such concepts as "the body," "image of God," "in Christ," and "the last Adam," should not be treated as unrelated concepts. They should rather be seen as parts of a larger whole. This larger whole is the return-to-origins motif. The frequent use which Paul makes of this particular motif to answer some of the basic questions of human existence is a measure of the important place which the return-to-origins motif occupied in the …


Kyrios Jesus, Horst Wm. Jordan May 1973

Kyrios Jesus, Horst Wm. Jordan

Concordia Theological Monthly

The author provides a perceptive and pastoral analysis of the key issue before the Synod.


Rejoicing In Mercy: Unity In Diversity, John W. Constable May 1973

Rejoicing In Mercy: Unity In Diversity, John W. Constable

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has adopted an apt slogan to celebrate a century and a quarter of its existence: "Rejoicing in Mercy." The Lord has been good to our beloved Synod and has given us so much. A quarter of a century ago we celebrated "A Century of Grace;" a half-century ago we cried "Ebenezer" - "the Lord hath helped us hitherto."


An Exegetical Investigation Of The Concept Of Yahweh's Presence As Expressed By יהוֹחצמד [Yhwh ʻMkh (Romanized Form)] And Its Variations, William Moorhead May 1973

An Exegetical Investigation Of The Concept Of Yahweh's Presence As Expressed By יהוֹחצמד [Yhwh ʻMkh (Romanized Form)] And Its Variations, William Moorhead

Master of Divinity Thesis

This study proposes to investigate exegetically the concept of Yahweh’s presence as expressed by the Hebrew phrase יהוֹחצמד and its variations. This study does not propose to be extremely detailed throughout. Rather it proposes to present this writer's conclusions supported by as much biblical evidence and examples as was deemed necessary considering the scope of the paper.


The Lord's Supper In Paul And In Mark: A Critique Of The Position Of Professor Willi Marxsen, Reinhold Miessler May 1973

The Lord's Supper In Paul And In Mark: A Critique Of The Position Of Professor Willi Marxsen, Reinhold Miessler

Master of Divinity Thesis

The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, the writer will show that the tradition of the Lord's Supper recorded in Mark does not depend upon or develop from the tradition preserved in Paul; secondly, he will suggest that a special interest focusing alone upon the elements occurs after the traditions of Paul and Mark were recorded.

The Old Testament As Scripture Of The Church, Brevard S. Childs Dec 1972

The Old Testament As Scripture Of The Church, Brevard S. Childs

Concordia Theological Monthly

The author argues that the historical-critical approach to the Scripture leads to unedifying results when the practitioner fails to treat Scripture as the Book of the church, containing the record of God's unique revelation. He argues that the history of the canon has been neglected and that canonical history gives the key to understanding the nature of Scripture as the Book of the church. He concentrates on the canonical shape of the Pentateuch. Although Dr. Childs endorses the major results of the historical-critical approach to the Old Testament, he argues that the historical-critical method is neither the perfect nor the …

The Relationship Between Psalm 22 And The Passion Narrative, Harvey D. Lange Oct 1972

The Relationship Between Psalm 22 And The Passion Narrative, Harvey D. Lange

Concordia Theological Monthly

The author suggests that Jesus' use of Ps. 22 in His cry of dereliction from the cross is best understood as an example of typological rather than rectilinear fulfillment of an Old Testament word.


Critical Methodology And The Lutheran Symbols' Treatment Of The Genesis Creation Accounts, Horace D. Hummel Sep 1972

Critical Methodology And The Lutheran Symbols' Treatment Of The Genesis Creation Accounts, Horace D. Hummel

Concordia Theological Monthly

We must begin by specifying what lexicon we are using. What “critical methodology” in the first place? "Critical" is, no doubt, the usual shorthand for what is commonly labelled "the historical-critical method."


New And Old In Mark 16:1-8, Robert H. Smith Sep 1972

New And Old In Mark 16:1-8, Robert H. Smith

Concordia Theological Monthly

One of the most difficult pericopes in the New Testament is the Easter Gospel, Mark 16:1-8, because it reports no appearance of the risen Lord, and ends with the strange words, " ... and they said nothing co any one, for they were afraid." In this article, the author summarizes and evaluates the chief solutions chat have been proposed, and then offers his own solution. On the basis of his study of the message of the Gospel and of other pertinent Biblical materials, he finds that the conclusion reflects a real appreciation of the joyful Gospel message. He also argues …


A Study Of Some Lucan Parables In The Light Of Oriental Life And Poetic Style, Kenneth Ewing Bailey Jul 1972

A Study Of Some Lucan Parables In The Light Of Oriental Life And Poetic Style, Kenneth Ewing Bailey

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

Throughout the history of the church the parables of Jesus have received considerable attention from biblical interpreters. Yet the cultural milieu and the poetry of the parables are aspects of parabolic studies that have not been adequately treated. The culture reflected in the dominical parables is that of first century Palestine. While the externals of the Palestinian scene pertinent to the parables have been analyzed with precision, the internal aspects of personal relationship and attitude have been imprecisely discerned. A more precise delineation of the Oriental culture that informs the text of four major Lucan parables is the first task …


An Analysis Of The Structure And Traditions Of Zechariah 7 And 8, John Henry Miller Jul 1972

An Analysis Of The Structure And Traditions Of Zechariah 7 And 8, John Henry Miller

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The problem to which this dissertation shall be addressed is the lack of a methodologically consistent investigation of Zechariah's possible indebtedness to and adaptation of Israel's heritages the failure of most scholars to analyze correctly the structure of Zechariah 7-8 (and to relate chapters l through 6 to them); and the absence of a careful delineation of the purpose for which Zechariah integrated tradition and structure in proclaiming his message to post-exilic Judah. Many scholars have paid no heed whatsoever to material from Israel's heritage which may be in Zechariah 7-8. Those who have made such studies have had either …


The Theology Of Divine Anger In The Psalms Of Lament, Thomas Dixon Hanks May 1972

The Theology Of Divine Anger In The Psalms Of Lament, Thomas Dixon Hanks

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

From our survey of the controversy over divine wrath in the history of theology it should be evident that we are not dealing with a matter of minor importance but one of great significance for the whole structure of theology and basic to our understanding of biblical teaching.


The Relation Of The Servant Songs To Their Contexts In Isaiah 40 To 55, Gyoji Nabetani May 1972

The Relation Of The Servant Songs To Their Contexts In Isaiah 40 To 55, Gyoji Nabetani

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

This dissertation seeks to answer the question: In interpreting the materials and describing the theology of the Deutero-Isaiah, should the "Servant Songs" be isolated from or considered in their contexts?


The Relationship Between Graduate Theological Education And The Worldwide Mission Of The Church, William J. Danker May 1972

The Relationship Between Graduate Theological Education And The Worldwide Mission Of The Church, William J. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

In spite of a desk piled high with other work, this writer could not find it in his heart to refuse an editor requesting an essay on a topic of such potential significance and excitement as "The Relationship Between Graduate Theological Education and the Worldwide Mission of the Church."


Let's Be Lutheran, Lloyd H. Goetz Apr 1972

Let's Be Lutheran, Lloyd H. Goetz

Shepherd, Sheep, And Goats; A Study In Old Testament Concepts And Imagery, Jack Ferguson Feb 1972

Shepherd, Sheep, And Goats; A Study In Old Testament Concepts And Imagery, Jack Ferguson

Master of Divinity Thesis

The problem which this paper is concerned with, therefore, has to do with the meaning of flock imagery when itis applied to the nation of Israel, especially when Israelis compared to a goat or to a mixed flock of sheep and goats. Consequently, it is my purpose: (a) to examine the nature and composition of the flocks in the Old Testament; (b) to place a new emphasis on the nature, value, and necessity of goats as members of a flock; (c) to demonstrate the fact and significance of the combined flock, especially when it becomes a phrase which refers to …


Annotated Bibliography And Some Integrating Observations On Conversion Including A Brief New Testament Study, Jeffrey Anderson Nov 1971

Annotated Bibliography And Some Integrating Observations On Conversion Including A Brief New Testament Study, Jeffrey Anderson

Master of Divinity Thesis

The diversity of views on conversion and the conflict within talk about conversion leads us to believe that the vital question remains unanswered: What is conversion? Conversion is a functional word in most people’s religious vocabulary, but it has a host of meanings, and many who use the term are not able to clarify their meaning. Our analysis of material on conversion--psychological, religious, and New Testament—has led to several conclusions and integrating statements. They are spelled out under their various headings below.

A Comparative Study Of The Doctrine Of Scripture In Article 4 Of The Apology Of The Augsburg Confession With The Doctrine Of Scripture In The Works Of Kister Stendahl, Jerry Kosberg Nov 1971

A Comparative Study Of The Doctrine Of Scripture In Article 4 Of The Apology Of The Augsburg Confession With The Doctrine Of Scripture In The Works Of Kister Stendahl, Jerry Kosberg

Master of Divinity Thesis

This paper is to be a comparative study of the doctrine of Scripture found in Article Four of the Apology of the Augsburg Confession with the doctrine of Scripture found in various representative writings of Dr. Krister Stendahl. The paper will be an attempt to establish the relationship between the view of Scripture found in an article of the Lutheran Confessions and the view of Scripture found in a Lutheran biblical scholar who works from the perspective of what may be called the historical -critical method. In other words, the question this paper is asking is: Is the historical - …


The Message Of Chronicles: Rally 'Round The Temple, Roddy L. Braun Sep 1971

The Message Of Chronicles: Rally 'Round The Temple, Roddy L. Braun

Concordia Theological Monthly

Often neglected by casual Bible readers as well as Biblical scholars, the books of Chronicles offer an important theological interpretation of Israel's history. The author delineates the Chronicler's perspective and compares it with that of the Deuteronomic History.


Fact And Image In The Shepherd Psalm, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer Sep 1971

Fact And Image In The Shepherd Psalm, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer

Concordia Theological Monthly

This two-part study of the much-read Shepherd Psalm offers a fresh literal interpretation of the psalm and points to possible theological applications today that take their cue from Luther's interpretation of the psalm.

Yahweh Faithful And Free-A Study In Ezekiel, Ralph W. Klein Sep 1971

Yahweh Faithful And Free-A Study In Ezekiel, Ralph W. Klein

Concordia Theological Monthly

This study in Ezekiel shows how an Old Testament prophet, known for his somewhat bizarre symbolism, communicated to God's covenant people in the early exilic period the good news that Yahweh is indeed faithful to His covenant, yet at the same time sovereignly free.
