Was Martha's Confession In John 11:27 Used In The Early Church As A Creed, Robert Holst
Was Martha's Confession In John 11:27 Used In The Early Church As A Creed, Robert Holst
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The aim of this thesis is to determine whether John 11:27 reflects an early Christian creed or, as an exclamation from Martha, served in the early Church as a creed. In his otherwise excellent chapter “Creedal Elements in the New Testament” in Early Christian Creeds, J. N. D. Kelly does not list John 11:27 as “evidence in the New Testament to show that the faith was already beginning to harden into conventional summaries. This seems an unfortunate omission since Martha’s confession contains not only one of two, but three Christological affirmations joined together asyndetically.
The Glory And Glorification Of Jesus Christ In The Gospel Of John, Arthur Strege
The Glory And Glorification Of Jesus Christ In The Gospel Of John, Arthur Strege
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
John’s Gospel emphasizes the glory manifested in the entire earthly life of the Lord, as well as in His going to the Father. This particular feature in the Gospel oi John is the subject of this dissertation.
Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton Rudnick
Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton Rudnick
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The conclusion of this study is that Fundamentalism and the Missouri Synod were not related closely enough for either to exert major influence upon the other. Basic factors in the background of each group kept them at a distance from one another, and, while their paths were often parallel, they never actually converged. The relationship was, for the most part, cordial, but never intimate, with the result that there was no important interchange of ideas and attitudes. It is for this reason that the word "in" had to become "and"--"Fundamentalism and the Missouri Synod,” signifying the revised view of at …

Developing A Ministry On Mission Fields In The Light Of The New Testament Concepts Of Church And Ministry, Maynard Dorow
Developing A Ministry On Mission Fields In The Light Of The New Testament Concepts Of Church And Ministry, Maynard Dorow
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This study concerns the ministry of the church. To phrase the question in this way already demonstrates that ministry cannot be understood by itself but that it is to be studied in the context of the church. When we look at ministry in the New Testament we find that it is always involved with serving the purposes of the church. In this chapter, therefore, we will set forth in brief outline the concept of the church as presented in the New Testament in order that our study of ministry might be seen in proper perspective.
The Suffering Love Of God: The Tension Between Judgement And Grace In The Pre-Exilic Prophets, Theodore Ludwig
The Suffering Love Of God: The Tension Between Judgement And Grace In The Pre-Exilic Prophets, Theodore Ludwig
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
It is therefore the purpose of this study to defend the thesis that the juxtaposition of the message of total judgment and that of full grace has a theological basis. There is a great tension between judgment and grace; yet these two seemingly opposed items have a deep unity in the nature of Yahweh. Therefore the ultimate purpose of this study is to determine the prophetic understanding of the nature of Yahweh. The conclusion reached and supported throughout is that it is the suffering love of Yahweh which forms the basis of the message of both judgment and grace which …
The Fourth Gospel Yesterday And Today, John W. Montgomery
The Fourth Gospel Yesterday And Today, John W. Montgomery
Concordia Theological Monthly
In this paper a comparative study will be made of the work of four Johannine interpreters who are widely separated both in time and in theological approach: Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560), Luther’s irenic associate, rightly designated the "preceptor of Germany"; Aegidius Hunnius (1550-1603), an uncompromising representative of early Lutheran confessional orthodoxy; Father Marie-Joseph Lagrange (1855-1938), one of the greatest Roman Catholic Biblical scholars of the twentieth century; and Charles Kingsley Barrett, an English Methodist, who since 1958 has served as professor of divinity at Durham University, and who is the author of a highly reputed commentary on the Greek text of …
Investment For Eternity A Study Of Luke 16:1-13, Richard R. Caemmerer
Investment For Eternity A Study Of Luke 16:1-13, Richard R. Caemmerer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Pastors are sometimes dismayed at the multiplicity of their duties. The burden lies not in their number but in the difficulty with which many of them seem to relate to the ministry of the Word and the one thing needful. The task which threatens this relevance most seriously is the fostering of Christian giving, or as it is called secularly, fund raising. The effort to supply Christian motivation through familiar terms like "stewardship" and "liberality" becomes wearing to pastors and people the kingdom of God, or of the Holy Spirit alike. Yet the need of "raising money" does not slacken.
Light From Galatians 3:1 On Pauline Theology, Paul G. Bretscher
Light From Galatians 3:1 On Pauline Theology, Paul G. Bretscher
Concordia Theological Monthly
The interpretation of this impassioned verse from an impassioned epistle has for some time ceased to be a problem for commentators. "New evidence," reported by George Milligan in 1923, came by way of a 17-century-old scrap of papyrus. It told of the parents of a wayward son who notified the governor that they would no longer be responsible for the son's debts and asked that a public announcement to this effect be "placarded up" (πϱογϱαφῆναι) where all might read it.

Heirs Of The Reformation In The Pulpit, Graeme M. Rosenau
Heirs Of The Reformation In The Pulpit, Graeme M. Rosenau
Concordia Theological Monthly
Being an heir of the Reformation involves far more than giving oratorical impasto in the pulpit to the slogan ''We have Luther as our Father" and engaging in unbridled ranting against Rome or Geneva. Without scorning necessary and proper polemics, the Lutheran preacher will at the same time be gratefully aware that in the very act of occupying his pulpit he is enjoying one of the richest blessings of his heritage.
The Holy Spirit In The Fourth Gospel From The Viewpoint Of Christ's Glorification, Robert Hoeferkamp
The Holy Spirit In The Fourth Gospel From The Viewpoint Of Christ's Glorification, Robert Hoeferkamp
Concordia Theological Monthly
Every student of the Bible knows the differences between the Synoptic Gospels on one hand and the Gospel of John on the other. It is the same Christ they portray. But the studied unity of conception, the composition, and the purpose of the Fourth Gospel catch the reader's attention as he turns to it from the Synoptic Gospels. It is the purpose of this paper to point our that one of the keys to the understanding of the Fourth Gospel is its major emphasis on the Holy Spirit. If we understand the nature, purpose, and function of the Holy Spirit …
The Devotional Use Of The Bible, James G. Manz
The Devotional Use Of The Bible, James G. Manz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Our topic suggests that there is another use of the Holy Bible. This is the study of Holy Scripture which is traditionally associated with the discipline of theological seminaries and the work of Biblical scholars and ministers. Its technical term is exegesis and has as its task to get out of the sacred text what God put into it. To achieve its purpose an exegetical study of Scripture involves knowledge of the ancient tongues. Martin Luther had a high regard for that language study which had as its aim the understanding of the meaning of the Scripture. He said, "As …
A Search For The Archetype Of The Greek Gospel Lectionary, Karl Rutz
A Search For The Archetype Of The Greek Gospel Lectionary, Karl Rutz
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The text of the Greek Gospel lectionary has been the object of fairly extensive scholarly research for only the last thirty years. In this period a strange scholarly consensus has come about. Although no one would maintain that the body of manuscript evidence for the Greek New Testament is homogeneous, a rather widespread opinion today is that the Greek Gospel lectionary is textually a unit.
Self-Examination- An Investigation Of I Corinthians 11:28, Norman Threinen
Self-Examination- An Investigation Of I Corinthians 11:28, Norman Threinen
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This study is an attempt to investigate self-examination on the basis of Paul's statement in I Cor. 11:2e. Since the context of the passage is very important, Chapter II studies the immediate context of I Corinthians 11 and the wider context of the entire epistle. Paul's interest throughout the epistle is the concern that the Corinthians recognize Christ as the κúριος in their lives.
The Image Of God In The Theology Of Paul, Richard Taron
The Image Of God In The Theology Of Paul, Richard Taron
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This paper does not purport to resolve the question of the centuries with an air of final authority. Rather it is an attempt to delve once again into the New. Testament, in particular the letters of Paul, to find there what proceed with the search it will be necessary to investigate what different authors have said concerning various key passages, and to weigh, their statements on the scales of other Pauline, New Testament, and Old Testament evidence. Throughout we propose to adhere to the principle that Scripture interprets itself, so that one passage in Paul must be seen in the …
The Lucan Prologue And Central Section - A Study Of Luke's Literary Method, James Ilten
The Lucan Prologue And Central Section - A Study Of Luke's Literary Method, James Ilten
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
It is the contention of this writer that, although these various theological interpretations may offer a partial explanation to the enigma of Luke's "central section," they do not adequately account for the diversity or arrangement of material. It is the writer's thesis that Luke may have selected a part of his materials for the "central section" from a collection of pericopae used to train missionaries in the early Church. That such a written or oral tradition existed before St. Luke wrote his Gospel may be inferred from St. Paul's sermon at Antioch in Pisidia, "But God raised him from the …
Conflict Of Religious Cultures: A Study In The Relevance Of Ugaritic Materials For The Early Faith Of Israel, Norman Habel
Conflict Of Religious Cultures: A Study In The Relevance Of Ugaritic Materials For The Early Faith Of Israel, Norman Habel
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
In brief the major thesis of the present work is that any interpretation of the pre-monarchic faith of Israel must take into consideration the conflict between the religious culture of Israel and that of its historical environment, and that the Ugaritic materials, in particular, are relevant for an understanding of the conflict between the religious cultures of Israel and Canaan, for an appreciation of the distinctive features of Israel's covenant faith and for a clarification of those areas where Canaanite religious influences are thought to be present in the biblical record.
The Biblical Teaching On The Eschatological Vision Of God, Robert Smith
The Biblical Teaching On The Eschatological Vision Of God, Robert Smith
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The paper will study and question the correctness of the widespread assumption that Greek thought is peculiarly related to seeing, while Hebrew thought is oriented towards hearing. It will be useful also to devote some attention to the question of the possible source or the New Testament idea.
A Comparison Of The Parables Of The Talents And The Pounds, Jack Kingsbury
A Comparison Of The Parables Of The Talents And The Pounds, Jack Kingsbury
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this paper is to present an exegetical study of the parables of the Talents and the Pounds in order to compare them in terms of their content, purpose, and character. The parable of the Talents is found in the Gospel according to St. Matthew (25:14-30), while the parable of the Pounds is recorded in the Gospel according to St. Luke (19:11-27).
The Quotations In Hebrews 1:5-13, John Sandri
The Quotations In Hebrews 1:5-13, John Sandri
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The subject of this study is the Old Testament quotations found in the first chapter of the epistle to the Hebrews. These are seven in number.
The Theological Background Of The Marcan Account Of The Baptism And Temptation Of Jesus, George Nickelsburg
The Theological Background Of The Marcan Account Of The Baptism And Temptation Of Jesus, George Nickelsburg
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the Old Testament and intertestamental background of the words and concepts appearing in Mark 1:1-13. Our study will show that almost every word and phrase in these verses is charged with a complex of theological associations stemming from the Old Testament and the Apocrypha and Pseudopigraha. We will attempt to show what these associations are, the different nuances given to them by the writers of the Old Testament and the intertestamental literature, and the varying ways which they were combined in these writings.
The Foolishness Of Christ Crucified Viewed From The Point Of Incipient Gnosticism At Corinth, William Goerss
The Foolishness Of Christ Crucified Viewed From The Point Of Incipient Gnosticism At Corinth, William Goerss
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The thesis of this paper is that at Corinth Paul did take over some of the thought patterns and vocabulary of an incipient Gnosticism with Judaic overtones. But instead of being influenced theologically by the borrowed terms, he used them for his consistent preaching of the crucified Savior, the true Wisdom of God. He was well aware of the uniqueness of the religion he preached; its real source lay not in the current thought forms of either Judaism or Hellenism, but in the Person, 'Preaching and redemptive work of the crucified Son of God.
A Comparison Of The Ethics Of The Qumran Scrolls And The Epistle Of James, Warren Schmidt
A Comparison Of The Ethics Of The Qumran Scrolls And The Epistle Of James, Warren Schmidt
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
There are several reasons why one would expect to find similarities to the Scrolls in James. The latter is clearly a Palestinian document written for Jewish readers. It is probably the earliest of the New Testament books written during the formative years of the church. This is a time when the church would be more open to outside influences in matters such as organization and polity. The early dating of James has been accepted by many scholars since the study of Gerhard Kittel, who dates it in the fourth decade of the first century, immediately before Paul's first missionary journey.
Ezra And Nehemiah: A Review Of The Return And Reform, Martin W. Leesberg
Ezra And Nehemiah: A Review Of The Return And Reform, Martin W. Leesberg
Concordia Theological Monthly
The books of Ezra and Nehemiah present an account of the history of the Judean people from the time of the Exile until the transition to Judaism was well on its way. Cyrus, king of Persia, in his first regnal year issued a decree permitting the Judean exiles to return to Jerusalem (Ezra 1:1-4). Sheshbazzar, a Judean prince (Ezra 1:8), led the first group of returnees and rebuilt the altar. The temple was begun in the following year (Ezra 5:16), but opposition by the people of the land delayed the project for about fifteen years.

Luther As Exegete, Douglas Carter
Luther As Exegete, Douglas Carter
Concordia Theological Monthly
In the era of the 16th-century Reformation it was given to Martin Luther to fill a role unique in its range. He was a controversialist who joined issue with the regnant theology of his day; a reformer who brought about such a renewal of the church as many of his contemporaries and predecessors had dreamed of; the reorganizer who changed the ecclesiastical map of Europe; a pastoral administrator; a spiritual director; and a writer of great versatility whose published works run to more than 50,000 pages in the Erlangen edition.
John 1:9 In The Light Of Historical Interpretation, John Francis Niermann
John 1:9 In The Light Of Historical Interpretation, John Francis Niermann
Master of Divinity Thesis
The purpose of this investigation is to give the solutions of various commentators to the interpretive problems of John 1:9 and to propose an interpretation based on an exegetical study of this passage.
