Aids To Bible Study: Bible Dictionaries, Frederick W. Danker Jul 1959

Aids To Bible Study: Bible Dictionaries, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

In his De doctrina Christiana St. Augustine wrote: Certain scholars have rendered great service by providing the student of the Sacred Scriptures with interpretations of all Hebrew, Syrian, Egyptian, and other foreign expressions and names that are introduced without further explanation by the sacred writers. Eusebius through his historical investigations developing out of a concern for the divine books has also left us an indispensable tool. These men have done their work so that Christians need not search through many authors for information on some small point. But there is further need of someone with the proper qualifications to produce, …


Lutheran Free Conferences In America From 1856 To 1866, Edward L. Schneider Jun 1959

Lutheran Free Conferences In America From 1856 To 1866, Edward L. Schneider

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this study is to shed some light on the confessional experiences within the bodies which finally took part in the Lutheran Free Conferences in America in the decade beginning in 1856. The study has been carried on with the intent of determining to what extent doctrines formulated the climate of friendliness between confessional bodies.


The Sermon On The Mount As A Part Of Jesus' Call To Repentance, James J. Johnson Jun 1959

The Sermon On The Mount As A Part Of Jesus' Call To Repentance, James J. Johnson

Bachelor of Divinity

A cursory glance at various expositions of the Sermon on the Mount, will show that there are as many interpretations of the Sermon as there are interpreters. Some men feel that the Sermon on the Mount is a list of practical rules for daily living which can easily be carried out by all right-thinking men. Still others have held that the Sermon is not meant for all Christians, but only for a few-those who went to maintain a more perfect station in life. Some have maintained that the Sermon is all Law; others see in it many elements of Gospel. …


Man's Attitude, By Nature, To Christ As Articulated In The Fourth Gospel, David Ralph Krampitz Jun 1959

Man's Attitude, By Nature, To Christ As Articulated In The Fourth Gospel, David Ralph Krampitz

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this investigation is to determine, on the basis of the Gospel according to St. John, how man, by nature, reacts to Christ. This issue is by no means merely academic. Christ's testimony concerning His Gospel conflicts with at least two situations which exist in our "Christianized" society. For one thing, our Lord told His disciples that the world would hate and persecute them because of His Gospel. Yet, in America today, "Christianity" receives the approval of the majority of people. In the second place, Christ informed His disciples that He had chosen them, not vice versa. The …


The Parable Of The Unjust Manager In The Light Of Contemporary Economic Life, Erich Kiehl Jun 1959

The Parable Of The Unjust Manager In The Light Of Contemporary Economic Life, Erich Kiehl

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The solution to the problem of the parable of the Unjust Manager lies in determining the possible provisions in the contract of the landowner with his manager. If the manager's contract was similar to those common to our western experience, then the manager's final act was one of larceny. However, the parable was spoken by Jesus, an Oriental, to hearers who were also Orientals and who lived in an Oriental setting. The solution lies in trying to determine as carefully and as closely as possible what the contractual arrangements between landowner and manager of that day were.


Structuring A Youth-To-Youth Visitation Program, Marvin Bergman Jun 1959

Structuring A Youth-To-Youth Visitation Program, Marvin Bergman

Master of Divinity Thesis

This interest in youth evangelism is due to several factors. The number of unchurched youth in the United States is a factor. Though it is difficult to obtain reliable figures on the youth population, Ellis reports that the difference between the number of youth enrolled in church activities and the youth population of America amounts to 19,328,000 teen-agers. This means that three out of four young people are outside the church.

John 20:16-17: The Ascenison Of Christ As The Prerequisite Of His Abiding Presence, Lowell Lubben Jun 1959

John 20:16-17: The Ascenison Of Christ As The Prerequisite Of His Abiding Presence, Lowell Lubben

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper proposes to investigate the appearance of Christ after His resurrection to Mary Magdalene, as it is recorded in the twentieth chapter of the Gospel according to St. John, verses 1 through 18. Attention is directed primarily and specifically to verses 16 and 17, which refer to Mary’s being prohibited to "touch" Christ and to the reason given for this prohibition, namely, that Christ had "not yet ascended."


The Terminology Of The Ark Of The Covenant, Kenneth K. Miller Jun 1959

The Terminology Of The Ark Of The Covenant, Kenneth K. Miller

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem under investigation is not a single problem, but multiple. It deals with the terminology connected with the Ark of the Covenant. There are some important technical terms that are either directly or indirectly connected with the Ark. During the course of Old Testament research in the last century these terms and the Ark itself have, for various reasons, acquired a great many connotations. The Ark has been explained as a fetish-box that contained a meteorite or a piece of stone from Mount Sinai, as a divine throne, as a container for sacred divination-stones, as a shrine of the …


Life After Death According To The Old Testament, Merrill Kluhsman Jun 1959

Life After Death According To The Old Testament, Merrill Kluhsman

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this study is to determine, as nearly as possible, precisely, what the canonical books or the Old Testament say about life after death.


The Ocassion And The Purpose Of The Escahatological Proclamation Of The Thessalonians Epistles Of Paul, Robert Joel Riedel Jun 1959

The Ocassion And The Purpose Of The Escahatological Proclamation Of The Thessalonians Epistles Of Paul, Robert Joel Riedel

Bachelor of Divinity

The special concern of this study, however, is the problems of eschatology which had arisen. They receive considerable prominence and are discussed in some detail. It seems that there were false ideas concerning the doctrine of the Second Coming prevalent in the congregation, and Paul wishes not only to counteract these ideas, but also to emphasize the final importance of this doctrine.


The Concept Of Chastisement In The Book Of Hebrews, Carl Lutz Jr Jun 1959

The Concept Of Chastisement In The Book Of Hebrews, Carl Lutz Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

As a result of personal contact with several cases in which the purpose and nature of Christian suffering was misinterpreted by the individual, one is led to study the Bible very carefully in order to offer all of the hope and comfort which God has placed into this Holy Book for His faithful followers. The present study is so constructed as to lead a person to discover the many ways in which he might offer consolation and encouragement to a person who is suffering some form of chastisement from God, specifically employing the Epistle to the Hebrews to the given …


The Pauline Concept Of The Body Of Christ And Its Significnace In The Literature Of The Ecumenical Movement, Raymond Schulze Jun 1959

The Pauline Concept Of The Body Of Christ And Its Significnace In The Literature Of The Ecumenical Movement, Raymond Schulze

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The task of this study, however, is to move toward an understanding of one aspect of Paul's body theology. " Our concern is not to explain what Paul means by σῶμα nor even what he means by σῶμα τοβ χριοτοῦ, but to discover what he means when he calls the Church σῶμα and σῶμα τοβ χριοτοῦ.


This Do In Remeberance Of Me, Arno Klausmeier Jun 1959

This Do In Remeberance Of Me, Arno Klausmeier

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This paper aims to indicate the importance of the background against which our Lord instituted the Sacrament of His Body and His Blood for a proper understanding of the meaning and intention of the words "This do in remembrance of Me." A formulation or approach to a doctrine of the Lord's Supper which proposes to be Biblical cannot be content merely to reiterate the Verba Testamenti in a conflated form and then propose to have exhausted the meaning of "this do". Nor can a formulation which all but ignores the total Sitz im Leben of the scriptural records fail to …


The Doctrine Of Man In Genesis, Pyeng Seh Oh Jun 1959

The Doctrine Of Man In Genesis, Pyeng Seh Oh

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It is, therefore, the fundamental teaching about man. in the Pre-Mosaic revelation that is dealt with in this thesis. This study will treat both individual man and a group of Men, viz., a society. It is plain from the previous explanation that this study is not limited by the traditional dogmatic division of Christian anthropology. It is a synthetic or systematic exegesis instead of the familiar consecutive exegesis, chapter by chapter, as presented in commentaries. This material will be collected under five cardinal themes on the doctrine of man in Genesis, with each theme displaying disparities and sim1larities or opinion …


Why The Kuriou In 1 Peter 1:25?, Martin H. Scharlemann May 1959

Why The Kuriou In 1 Peter 1:25?, Martin H. Scharlemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In our day there is nothing sensational in the remark that the authors of our New Testament documents often quote the Septuagint version rather than the Hebrew text in their use of the Old Testament. In fact, as long ago as 1782 Randolph came to the conclusion that 119 of the 239 actual quotations from the Old Testament occurring in the New were taken from the Septuagint. This was almost 50 years before Doepke's Hermeneutik der neutestamentlichen Schriftsteller ( 1829) clearly demonstrated the extensive methodological agreements between New Testament authors and rabbinic writers, thereby laying the groundwork for our contemporary …


Aids To Bible Study: The Septuagint-Its History, Frederick W. Danker Apr 1959

Aids To Bible Study: The Septuagint-Its History, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

"Gentlemen, have you a Septuagint?" Ferdinand Hitzig, eminent Biblical critic and Hebraist, used to say to his class. "If not, sell all you have, and buy a Septuagint." Current Biblical studies reflect the accuracy of his judgment. This and the next installment are therefore dedicated to the task of helping the Septuagint come alive for Biblical students who may be neglecting its contributions to the total theological picture, for clergymen who have forgotten its interpretive possibilities, and for all who have just begun to see how new things can be brought out of old.

A Lutheran Contribution To The Present Discussions On The Lord’S Supper, Hermann Sasse Jan 1959

A Lutheran Contribution To The Present Discussions On The Lord’S Supper, Hermann Sasse

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lord's Supper has again become one of the main issues among the churches of Christendom as well as within individual denominations. This is the result of two movements which, though deeply rooted in the 19th century, have shaped the life of all Christendom since the beginning of this century: the Liturgical and the Ecumenical Movement. Since the deepest motive underlying both is what has been called "the awakening of the Church in the souls," future church historians may regard them as branches of one great movement which, like all great movements in the Western Church (Reformation, Pietism, Rationalism, etc.), …


Aids To Bible Study: The Hebrew Old Testament, Frederick W. Danker Dec 1958

Aids To Bible Study: The Hebrew Old Testament, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is regrettable that Hebrew is gradually fading out of the academic picture. Seminaries are decreasing their requirements in this area, and its study is being left more and more to the elective inclinations of the student. To the remnant in Israel, however, this chapter in Aids to Bible Study is dedicated in the hope that it may encourage some to return to Zion and exhilarate others as they stand on the ramparts and catch the vision of fresh and exciting interpretive possibilities in their Hebrew texts.

An Historical Survey Of Old Testament Theology Since 1922 (Concluded), Delbert R. Hillers Sep 1958

An Historical Survey Of Old Testament Theology Since 1922 (Concluded), Delbert R. Hillers

Concordia Theological Monthly

The sole contribution of the Netherlands to modern Old Testament theology is the Hoofdlijnen der Theologie van het Oude Testament of Th. C. Vriezen, professor of Old Testament at the University of Groningen. Opposing both the "mummifying process" of absolutizing the Old Testament as God's Word and the opposite fault of making it only man's word, Vriezen calls for a "theological Biblical criticism," and wishes in his book to bridge the gap between scientific Old Testament study and its use for practical, religious purposes. As is indicated by the title, Hoofdlijnen, he restricts his discussions to matters of major importance …

The Eschatology Of Acts And Contemporary Exegesis, Robert H. Smith Sep 1958

The Eschatology Of Acts And Contemporary Exegesis, Robert H. Smith

Concordia Theological Monthly

For half a century New Testament exegesis has stood at the center of a storm over eschatology, and the eye of this storm is not all calmness. Two different exegetes skillfully and deliberately lay open the same passage of Scripture and arrive at conclusions that collide head on. Scholars disagree not only concerning what the New Testament says but especially about what the New Testament means in its eschatological statements.


An Historical Survey Of Old Testament Theology Since 1922, Delbert R. Hillers Aug 1958

An Historical Survey Of Old Testament Theology Since 1922, Delbert R. Hillers

Concordia Theological Monthly

Since shortly after World War I there have been a great many publications and a lively interest in the field of Old Testament studies known as Old Testament theology or Biblical theology of the Old Testament. This surge of interest came after a period of almost complete neglect of this discipline. This paper will attempt to analyze the causes of the resurgence of Old Testament theology, to understand the various methods or approaches of major scholars in the field, and to analyze the results of these methods.


Aids To Bible Study The Nestle Text., Frederick W. Danker Jul 1958

Aids To Bible Study The Nestle Text., Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

Since its first edition in 1898 Eberhard Nestle's Novum Testamentum Gaece has become standard equipment for students of the New Testament. The 23d edition (1957). edited jointly by his son Erwin Nestle and Kurt Aland, who is to succeed Nestle as the editor, has erased some of the blemishes in its predecessors and includes the readings of Papyrus Bodmer 66.


Mishpat And Zedeq In The Eighth-Century Prophets, James P. Rath Jun 1958

Mishpat And Zedeq In The Eighth-Century Prophets, James P. Rath

Bachelor of Divinity

We have attempted, in this thesis, to find the sources and authorities most competent to lead us along the way toward understanding what progression of revelation actually did take place in the writings as we have them from the eighth century. That there are other authorities which perhaps should have been consulted should not be denied; but we feel that the presentation as it is here sufficiently proves that these prophets were truly led by God to make a great advance over their predecessors.
