The Contribution Of Archaeology To The Interpretation Of The New Testament, Raymond F. Surburg
The Contribution Of Archaeology To The Interpretation Of The New Testament, Raymond F. Surburg
Concordia Theological Monthly
Archaeology is, furthermore, of great value because it relates exegesis to historical facts. Christianity is a historical religion, based upon events and experiences which transpired in history. Allegorical and symbolical interpretations often ignore the historical background of the Christian religion and lead to aberrations in religious thought. While the New Testament as a supernatural revelation harbors many elements transcending historical verification, it does nevertheless contain much material which can be determined by historical study. Thus Dana asserts: "There is no feature of the process of interpretation more important than the reconstruction of the historical situation out of which a given …
The Contribution Of Archaeology To The Interpretation Of The New Testament, Raymond F. Surburg
The Contribution Of Archaeology To The Interpretation Of The New Testament, Raymond F. Surburg
Concordia Theological Monthly
The pastor, the missionary, the parochial school teacher, the Sunday school and weekday school teachers, the Christian youth leaders, and others use the Bible in their respective fields of labor in the Lord's vineyard. If these Christian workers and leaders are to fulfill the intention of the divinely appointed ministry of reconciliation and accomplish the perfecting of the saints through the Word of Truth, a correct and adequate understanding of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, together with their proper application, is essential. The explanation and the application of the Word of God must rest upon a sound and self …
A Study Of The Words Of Jesus: Let A Man Deny Himself And Follow Me--The Relationship Of Renunciation To Discipleship In The Synoptics, A Paul Meyer
Bachelor of Divinity
This research paper is the outgrowth of a personal struggle. The problem posed has in the past very sincerely disturbed the writer; this research has helped him personally in arriving at an answer. The writer's early background gave rise to the problem. His father had at an early age impressed him with the fact that scripture cannot but confront its reader. It is God's message. His mother was reared in a rather legalistic pietism, and this tended to influence him in a pietistic Way. The passages which caused the most mental anguish were those concerning renunciation, passages which, upon first …

An Historical And Exegetical Study Of The Messianic Hope Of The Post-Exilic Prophets, William John Hausmann
Bachelor of Divinity
This thesis endeavors to determine the content, character and particular emphasis of the Messianic hope of the postexilic prophets: Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.
The Day Of Yahweh- Its Background And Usage In Selected Prophets, Walter Emil Rast
The Day Of Yahweh- Its Background And Usage In Selected Prophets, Walter Emil Rast
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this study is to deal with some of the problems relevant to this broad, prophetic idea. This involves concerning ourselves, with the origin of the idea, and the form it took in the prophetic mind. As a result, we have devoted the first chapter to an investigation of certain problems connected with the origin and background of the idea. In the second and third chapters, our concern is with the concept as it unfolds itself in the prophetic books. In both these chapters, our intent is one of comparison and contrast, in seeking both common and diverse …
Anglican Christology Of The Upper Stream From '"Lux Mundi" To "Essays Catholic And Critical.", Norman Nagel
Anglican Christology Of The Upper Stream From '"Lux Mundi" To "Essays Catholic And Critical.", Norman Nagel
Concordia Theological Monthly
When a certain theologian was asked what in English theology would most reward study, with twinkling and Teutonic eye he replied, "They don't have any." Now it is true that the issues which have most exercised churchmen in this country do not seem to have been primarily theological One ncvcr ceases to wonder at the thousands of parish priests in the sixteenth century who found no difficulty in making do whatever new or revised prayer book happened to come to them in the post. When divisions came, they were summed up in terms more of polity than of theology.
The Concept Of Life In The Psalms Of David, Richard O. Hoyer
The Concept Of Life In The Psalms Of David, Richard O. Hoyer
Bachelor of Divinity
It is the purpose of this paper to show, to some extent, the Old Testament faithful's answers to these questions. It seeks to give his concept of life, what life meant to him, why he thought he was living, and what goal he thought there was in life, and in doing so, to point out that the difference in outlook between him and the New Testament Christian is a difference of language created by a differing amount of revelation, and is not a difference in the fundamental concept of life itself.
The Principals Of Christian Giving According To Second Corinthians Eight And Nine, Roland E. Grumm
The Principals Of Christian Giving According To Second Corinthians Eight And Nine, Roland E. Grumm
Bachelor of Divinity
This thesis is concerned with principles. Its purpose is to ascertain from Paul's dissertation what are the true guidelines for Christian giving. Drawing only from this source of stewardship teaching--the Apostle's exhortation in Second Corinthians--the basis for giving of our means to the Lord shall be established. This will entail a discussion of the "why," the reason that a Christian contributes, and the power that makes a Christian a cheerful giver. Thus the first principles will be set forth under the caption, "The Motives for Christian Giving." Included in this chapter will be a discussion of what the Apostle sets …
The Spanish Erasmian Movement Of The Sixteenth Century, Hector Lazos
The Spanish Erasmian Movement Of The Sixteenth Century, Hector Lazos
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis is to familiarize the readers, at least in part, with the Spanish Erasmian movement of the sixteenth century. Lutheran historical research has given much attention and study to the historical events of the sixteenth century. But when Lutheran historians study one of the movements of that century, they are prone to connect it with the German Lutheran Reformation. This might be because, as Lutherans, they are especially interested in seeing the influence that Luther and Lutheranism might have had on the religious conscience of other nations. For this reason the figure of Erasmus has been …
The New Commandment John 13:34, Earl P. Merz
The New Commandment John 13:34, Earl P. Merz
Bachelor of Divinity
The story is told of a visit that Bishop Ussher made to a certain Nobleman’s home. During the course of the evening meal the subject of religion was thoroughly discussed. One of the questions that, his host put to the Bishop was this: "How many commandments are there?" Without hesitation the bishop replied, "Eleven," and quoted, as an addition to the Decalogue, the passage in St. John’s Gospel that is to serve as the basis for this thesis: "A new commandment give I unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one …

The Witness Of God With Special Reference To Hebrews 11:2, Paul Schuessler
The Witness Of God With Special Reference To Hebrews 11:2, Paul Schuessler
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
Since a study of the divine witness promises a clearer understanding of God and His ways and a more intensive penetration of Scripture, the following analysis of Hb 11:2 and a series of summarizing propositions are offered together with such philological and theological support as is available.
That The Scriptures Might Be Fullfilled, Roy Schroeder
That The Scriptures Might Be Fullfilled, Roy Schroeder
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
In this thesis we want to study the concept of .fulfilment as found in the New Testament. John Marsh points out the importance of this concept when he says: “To an age which has inherited the new and refined instruments of historical study which were developed in the nineteenth century., it has become very difficult to give any intellectual, as distinct from devotional or religious, context to the concept of ‘fulfilment’ as the Bible understands it.

The Preaching Of The Gospel In Selected Lenten Sermon Series Of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Donald R. Miesner
The Preaching Of The Gospel In Selected Lenten Sermon Series Of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Donald R. Miesner
Bachelor of Divinity
The thrust of this thesis is twofold in essence. It sets out to (1) determine what is contained in the preaching of the Gospel according to the New Testament; and, to (2) determine how Bishop Sheen’s Lenten preaching portrayed that New Testament kerygmatic pattern. The study further reveals that Sheen's Lenten preaching in many instances departs from and/or runs counter to the kerygmatic formulation.
The Relationship Between The Concept Of Charis And Santification In The Epistles Of Paul, Harold W. Scheibert
The Relationship Between The Concept Of Charis And Santification In The Epistles Of Paul, Harold W. Scheibert
Bachelor of Divinity
This thesis is an attempt to find the correct New Testament relationship between this great indicative and this great imperative on the basis of St. Paul’s use of the Greek term, χάρις.
The Concept Of Faith And Hebrews 11:1, John R. Nielsen
The Concept Of Faith And Hebrews 11:1, John R. Nielsen
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of the writer, as he began this study, to determine upon the basis of 11:1 what the concept of faith according to Hebrews actually is. However, upon a study of the Epistle itself, we have come to the conclusion that this verse neither defines nor describes faith. Rather it sets forth the only way in which it is possible to have a firm foundation for hope. It makes the assertion that it is by faith that one can have a basis and foundation for eschatological blessings, and certainty in the unseen spiritual realm.

Luther’S Preaching Of Good Works, Robert Heckmann
Luther’S Preaching Of Good Works, Robert Heckmann
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis is to examine Luther's preaching of good works and evaluate his work somewhat on the basis of the standard layed down in the next section. It will include a short study of his preaching style and habits in general, an examination of his definition of good works and his description and use of the power of the Gospel to enable the people to live the life in Christ.
A Prolegomenon To New Testament Language In Light Of Contemporary Linguistic Analysis : A Look At Paul’S Meaning And Use Of Theological Language In I Corinthians 2:6-16, John Stern
Bachelor of Divinity
This, then, is the purpose of this study: to look more closely at what scholars in many fields have had to say regarding the matter of human language and its ability to make religious assertions. In an attempt to define this purpose more accurately, it will be necessary to: (a) examine the field of contemporary Linguistic Analysis in light of its historical setting;(b) describe the relationship between the phenomenology of language and religious language; (c) consider the work being done presently in the area of modern linguistic studies in biblical research and see its effect upon the formation of theological …
A Study Of The Use Of The Phrase Faithful Is God In The New Testament Writings, Donald D. Schaeffer
A Study Of The Use Of The Phrase Faithful Is God In The New Testament Writings, Donald D. Schaeffer
Bachelor of Divinity
The concept of God's faithfulness is implicit in all of the Sacred Scripture; indeed, one could say that the Bible is, in a sense, the story of God's faithfulness. But only comparatively seldom does this attribute of God come to the surface explicitly. The purpose of this thesis is to study those passages and their context in the New Testament where it is specifically mentioned. Each of those passages is like a facet of a diamond, revealing a new aspect of God's faithfulness, high lighting another element of it, making our conception of it richer and deeper.
A Study Of The Paraclete Passages In The Gospel Of St. John, Dale G. Lasky
A Study Of The Paraclete Passages In The Gospel Of St. John, Dale G. Lasky
Bachelor of Divinity
This paper proposes fundamentally to make a study of the passages where the term Paraclete is found in the Gospel of John. The reference in I John 3:1 has been omitted for, although the Greek term used is the same, the references refer to the Holy Spirit.
The Concept Of ’Σδσ’Σ In The Book Of Acts, Norbert Streufert
The Concept Of ’Σδσ’Σ In The Book Of Acts, Norbert Streufert
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The aim of this thesis is to examine the Old Testament and rabbinic literature to see what role, if any, they played in the formation of the ’σδσ’ς concept of Acts. The Septuagint in particular deserves attention since it held such an important position in the Apostolic Church and so largely affected the writers of the New Testament. As H. B. Swete remarks, the New Testament writers not only were familiar with the Septuagint; but were saturated with its thought and vocabulary.
The Meaning Of Philippians 2:6, William Beck
The Meaning Of Philippians 2:6, William Beck
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
My aim was to find out what the text means. Some of the conclusions differ from the doctrinal statements of men whom I respect very highly. I made no special effort to uphold Lutheran doctrine. It was therefore reassuring to see how the text, freed of all encumbrances, strands there in its simple doctrinal glory.
The Meaning Of The Term Βαειλεια Τοτ Οεοτ In The Parables, Marvin Middendorf
The Meaning Of The Term Βαειλεια Τοτ Οεοτ In The Parables, Marvin Middendorf
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The term “kingdom of God” plays a prominent part in the Christian vocabulary. Scarcely a sermon is preached without employing this phrase and scarcely a prayer is uttered that does not use this phrase in praise, thanksgiving, petition. That it an essential part of the New Testament is not doubted.
The Person And Work Of The Holy Spirit Implicit In The Proclamation Of John The Baptist, Walter Rosin
The Person And Work Of The Holy Spirit Implicit In The Proclamation Of John The Baptist, Walter Rosin
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The primary purpose of .this thesis will not; be to determine the correct interpretation of this entire phrase, but to determine what the hearers of John understood when he announced “He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” A secondary purpose of this thesis will be to arrive at a clearer understanding of the concept; of the Holy Spirit.

The Word In The Word, Walter R. Roehrs

By formulation our topic also asks us to think of these terms as a given relationship to each other: the Word in the Word. Thus the problem is stated. Two concepts, identical to the that they can be represented by the same semantic symbol, and be differentiated from each other by their relationship to each other. In a somewhat less cryptic form our topic could also be What is the relationship between the Word made flesh and the written Word of Scripture.
