Matthew's Method Of Quoting The Old Testament, Lorenz Otto Nieting

Bachelor of Divinity

In examining Matthew’s use of the Old Testament, we are immediately confronted by the problem of the language that he uses in quoting the Old Testament. The problem simply stated is to find out whether Matthew used the Hebrew, the Septuagint, an Aramaic version, or extant Greek version of the Old Testament: or if he used a number of these versions. In the case of the latter we shall try to determine under what circumstances Matthew used the one or the other version.

The "Euaggelion" According To St Paul, Luther Meinzen

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The supremacy of the Ε’υαδδε’λιον has not lost an iota of its importance to man, although centuries separate us from Paul. Despite attempts through the ages to destroy the Ε’υαδδε’λιον or to change it, it is still the power of God unto salvation that it always was. Controversies that have been waged over it have largely been the result of misunderstandings of the Ε’υαδδε’λιον. Therefore a study of this basic concept of Christianity and of theology of Paul is purposeful. It is the aim of this thesis to present the correct understanding of the term and to develop its implications.

The Missionary Looks At His Work In The Light Of St Paul's Letter To The Colossians, O H. Schmidt

Bachelor of Divinity

While this paper was written primarily with reference to foreign mission work it is obvious that the various practical directions and hints contained in this epistle are just as applicable to the work in the home mission field. After all, the principles are the same, and you work with the same materials, with the word or God and with human beings.

The Relation Between Justification And Sanctification In Romans, Albert A. Behnke

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to present the relationship which exists in St. Paul's Letter to the Romans between Justification and Sanctification. From time to time this “mother and her child” have fared differently from various groups of religious minded people. In their devotion to the “mother" some have forgotten "her child" or at the most given it scant attention, resulting in cold formalism and dead or the orthodoxy until finally even the mother" herself died. Others beholding this devotion to the "mother" to the utter neglect of the "child” began to espouse the cause of the child until …

The Revised Standard Version Of The New Testament, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

This publication comes to us with the legend on the publisher's jacket: "The most important publication in 1946." At first one may be taken aback by such a strong and apparently daring claim, 1946 having only begun; but a little reflection will lead one to say that here we are not dealing with an exaggeration, such as publishing houses are fond of voicing, but with a truly objective evaluation. A new and at that somewhat official translation of the New Testament- what more important work can there appear in this year of grace?

P 46 And Textual Criticism, Elmer Moeller

Concordia Theological Monthly

Not always have Christians taken kindly to investigations into the exact identity of the inspired words of Holy Scriptures. After Jerome, for example, had edited his Vulgate, making changes in the generally accepted Latin text on the basis of Hebrew manuscripts, he received a letter from Augustine telling him of a certain congregation which had threatened to abandon its bishop unless he restored the old Latin reading of Jonah 4:6, which he had replaced with Jerome's reading.

The Covenant Concept In Old Testament Theology-, Edwin C. Sohn

Bachelor of Divinity

The Covenant of God with man represents in the Old Testament the closest possible relationship. It is the heart of a movement of God downwards. In its massive sweep across the Old Testament it marks the center of history and religion.

The Concept Of Holiness In Ezekiel, Paul W. Stanko

Bachelor of Divinity

The Doctrine Of The Resurrection Of The Body As Taught In The Pauline Espistles, Norbert Becker

Bachelor of Divinity

It is our purpose to present the entire teaching of Paul on the fundamental doctrine of the resurrection. In the course of the positive presentation of Paul's teaching it will become clear that he nowhere contradicts himself but that he is consistent throughout. It will also become evident that Paul's doctrine of the resurrection is in complete harmony with the teachings of Jesus and with other parts of Scripture. When we speak of Pauline theology, therefore, we simply refer to the doctrines contained in Paul's epistles.

The Doctrine Of The Atonement In The Synoptic Gospels, John H. Geisler

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to prove that the synoptic Gospels teach the vicarious atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Problem Of Vanity In Ecclesiastes, George Thomas

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In this weary and distracted world, burdened down with sin and sorrow, we naturally asks “Is there anything worth seeking, worth having? anything that will still the cravings of the restless spirit within us, and bring peace and satisfaction to the troubled heart? What should be the chief object of man's desire and pursuit? To what end should life be devoted? Where does man finally go, i.e., what happens to him at death? Are all things really vanity?"

That is the problem which Solomon undertook to solve in Ecclesiastes - he resolves all the foregoing questions under the category of …

The Genealogies Of Jesus Christ In Matthew And Luke, Theodore Schubkegel

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

For centuries scholars have recognized that the genealogies of Christ in Matthew and Luke, present problems. Each genealogy has its own problems. But the biggest problem is to harmonize the two genealogies.

The Interpretation Of Difficult Bible Passages, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

What a grand book we have in the Bible! While we are said to live in a new age since scientists 'have learned how to split the atom and there is preached to us the philosophy of collective action in national and international affairs in the · labor world and politics - a philosophy which is definitely in the saddle and riding fast and furiously-we Lutherans cling to the old Book. We say it comes from God and it leads to God.

Hebrews- A Rhetorical Study, Walter A. Jennrich

Bachelor of Divinity

The present study treats of the Epistle to the Hebrews almost purely from the point of view of external form and is preliminary to a more general study of the whole subject of style and language in the New Testament. If it presents many matters of detail that are more or less tedious and call for patience one must bear in mind that it is only by the examination of details that one may come to a reasonably safe conclusion about principles. Even a cursory study of the works of literary critics will demonstrate the necessity of the warning that …

The Ministry Of The Word According To Titus Chapter I, Gottfried H. Naumann

Bachelor of Divinity

All three of Paul's ''Pastoral Epistles" I and II Timothy and Titus furnish a wealth of material for the diligent study and restudy of the scriptural teaching regarding the Ministry of the Word. In this paper an attempt is made to treat exegetically on the basis of the original Greek the first chapter of Titus, all of which has direct bearing upon the doctrine of the ministry. Moreover the fifth verse of this chapter presents proof for the divine institution of a local ministry.

The Tabernacle Of Jehovah, Herman R. Mayer

Bachelor of Divinity

Perhaps some of the most neglected chapters in the Bible are those which give a concise description of the sanctuary. They are neglected by Bible readers and students alike. Many who read through the Exodus account find the subject matter lacking in excitement or too involved to give it a little thought. Even Bible students are inclined to read through this particular section in such haste that they remove every opportunity of giving the structure of the Sanctuary careful consideration. A study of the Sanctuary therefore should be a challange to every one who holds a claim on interest in …

The Apostle Paul As A Model For Our Preaching And Writing, Ahlert H. Strand

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the apostle Paul's preaching and writing, as well as the method he pursued to accomplish his purpose, establishes him as a model worthy of our study and emulation.

The purpose of his preaching was threefold: the glory of God, the salvation, the sanctification of man.

The Cosmology Of Scripture, Leander M. Waechter

Bachelor of Divinity

In these days of scientific consciousness a study of the cosmological teachings of Scripture should be or interest and value to the Bible student. For the average man of the twentieth century has a new measure by which he computes the value of all things, material, philosophical, or spiritual. Being taught from early childhood to think largely in the terms of science, it is inevitable that the modern man should reply to every problem which challenges his interest, "What does science say on the subject?"

The Work Of The Holy Spirit According To Romans Eight, Robert Charles Stade

Bachelor of Divinity

Thus before we actually delve into our subject, the work of the Holy Spirit as presented in chapter eight, we shall extablish the connection between this chapter and the two previous ones.

The Personal Wisdom In Proverbs Eight, Rudolph E. Honsey

Bachelor of Divinity

It will be the burden of this treatise to establish the fact that in the eighth chapter of the Book of Proverbs we have a direct reference to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This we shall do on the basis of six Hebrew expressions which occur in verses 22 to 31. Then we shall consider the appropriateness of the term תכהת, as well as related terms, as ascribed to the Son of God. Finally, we shall consider the Personal Wisdom as our comfort in life and in death.

The Correspondence Of Paul And The Church At Corinth, Alton F. Wedel

Bachelor of Divinity

The subject with which this thesis deals is not an article of faith. The problem is not doctrinal. But it remains for him who would search out the Scriptures to study these theories carefully, to come to very definite conclusions, and to be able to take his stand against all efforts to undermine confidence in Holy Writ. The theories are tempting; let the pastor beware!
