Exploring Bible History, Bruce K. Forrest

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "You are about to embark on what I trust will be for you an interesting and informative journey as we begin to explore Bible History. Understanding Bible history, while at first may seem to be an enormous undertaking, is really within the grasp of most students of the Bible. The history itself falls readily into eight historic periods..."

Politics In Amos, Miroslaw M. Suski

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

One of the characteristics for the end of this twentieth century is a political chaos and a lack of solid foundations. The cry for peace is louder than ever in the past history of human life. Yet, the actions of man and their consequences bring forth only injustice and the oppression of the poor. The "self" of man does not change, even if it functions under different so-called political systems.

Perhaps man's politics or its policies are false or simply they are wrongly executed. It is a repeated mistake, when certain known things are separated from the style and actions …

Current Eschatology: Militarism Superimposed Upon Daniel?, Janet Lorraine Sedgley

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The objective of this study is to look at current eschatological literature in an attempt to determine if it reads militarism back into the book of Daniel.

"Current" is defined to mean books dating from 1960 to the present, 1983. Eschatological is interpreted to mean the doctrine of Christ's second coming. It does not, for the purposes of this project, include the doctrines of death, resurrection or immortality. Militarism is defined as "predominance of the military class or prevalence of their ideals; the spirit which exalts military virtues or ideals: the policy of aggressive military preparedness. " Both the ideals …

Curriculum In The Christian College, Koo-Young Chung

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The threefold imperative of the Great Commission of our Lord (Matthew 28:19-20), that is, 'evangelize,' 'enlist,' and 'educate,' commands the activity which is the special responsibility of the Christian school -- 'teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded· you.'

Developing Pastoral Counseling In The Missionary Church Of Brazil Through The Oms International, Darrell Wayne Mishler

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The local pastor will have ample opportunity to counsel his flock. This, simply, is a fact. People will bring their problems to him, and the well-being of his ministry-not to mention himself--may depend on the pastor's management of these important times. The "people-helper"-oriented pastor will probably welcome this ministry, even though it has the potential of being a stressful form of shepherding. A goal for this project is to facilitate the development of the pastoral counseling role of the Brazilian local pastor, making him as totally effective a minister as possible. For, to quote Dr. Wayne Oates, "... (the pastor's) …

A Basic Course For Sunday School Teacher Training, Rebecca Wang

This project is a attempt to identify and systematize some of the basic elements of teaching and learning in the church. We can not cover everything, but we can uncover some of the essential inqurdients to effective teaching.

A Guided Study To The Gospel According To John, Bruce R. Bray

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

This project is intended to be used as an adult Bible study guide. It could be used in a Bible study, Sunday School class, or Sunday evening service. The purpose of this research project is compound.

First, it is to make the Scriptures vividly understandable to the student. Hopefully it will be so real that the student can almost reach out his hand and feel the splinters on the cross. It is the hope of the author that each student will see each Biblical person as someone the student can identify with and that he can put himself in the …

In Search Of A Useful Concept Of Discipleship In The Gospels, Lawson E. Brown

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The greatest imperative left by Christ to His Church is clearly delineated in His last words, as recorded by Matthew:

"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Jesus has clearly declared, then, that every person whom He has called to Himself must accept the mandate to disciple others. …

The Nature And Attainability Of Biblical Perfection, Paul Bryan Overland

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The objective of this thesis is to develop a defini­tion of Biblical perfection so as to clarify its nature and attainability in Christian experience. The study is designed with three facets in view: (1) the nature of Biblical perfection, (2) the attainability of Biblical perfection , and (3) a theological synthesis. The first section develops a general understanding of the scope of connotations possible for the related Hebrew and Greek words. The focus in what constitutes the body of the study is on ten key Scripture selections, subjected to close analysis in context. The themes emerging from the first section …

A Theology Of Weakness: Word Studies From The Greek Text Of Ii Corinithians 12:9 In Context With Exegesis Of Seven Select Passages Of Scripture, Marva J. Sedore

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "In his commentary on the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians , R. C. H. Lenski proposes that the verb teleo in II Corinthians 12 :9 is mistranslated . Whereas most translations say, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness , " Lenski believes that the last phrase should read, "for the power is brought to its finish in weakness." It seems that he stands unsupported in this conviction, for my research uncovered no other commentator who suggested such an interpretation."

A Pastor's Guide To Understanding Abortion And Its Theological And Ethical Implications, John Richard Tusant

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Babies are God's opinion that the world should go on. Babies are also the life-line for humanity. This continuing life-line proposes certain questions concerning the life and the death of babies as the pastor deals with humanity.

God has created man and woman to reproduce and replenish the earth, as seen in Genesis 9:7. However, the issue that faces society and particularly the pastor is, unwanted infants. The issue of unwanted infants has consequences that will govern the father and mother's thoughts and actions for life. Generally, people who question the importance of God's ways in the issue to be …

Martin Luther's Concept Of Biblical Interpretation In Historical Perspective, Raymond Larry Shelton

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The purpose of this study is two-fold: to study the general hermeneutical principles and procedures of Martin Luther, and to develop an understanding of the major hermeneutical influences both upon him and by him. Luther certainly did not precipitate the Reformation in a vacuum, but his revolutionary ideas developed as a result of many historical and theological influences upon his intellectual and spiritual development. Furthermore, Luther provided a hermeneutical watershed from which the other Reformers, as well as many contemporary scholars, drank. His influence upon the hermeneutical development since the sixteenth century has been immeasurable. Thinkers ranging from the positions …

An Investigation Into The Relationship Between Figurative Language And Biblical Typology, Thomas Mohr

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "Because of those who have taken an extreme position concerning typology, the subject has been either distorted or discarded. In both cases it has been very unfortunate. If it can be established that typology is a valid tool to use in studying the Bible, then "a great door and effectual is opened" to the Bible student . The problem is, has been, and always will be : " there are many adversaries ." The preliminary assumption of the writer was that typology is not unscriptual or dangerous ; rather the misuser of typology is the one that needs to …

The Bultmannian Engima -- An Investigation Into The Concept Of Demythologization, Carlton Llewellyn Williams

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Time and time again throughout the history of Christianity, scholars have challenged the traditional and orthodox Christian faith particularly on the point of hermeneutics. The Church has made vital reactions to such challenges and has incessantly utilized that which could be salvaged from the proposals and conclusions of these adversaries to clarify and formulate its beliefs. This should be the attitude of every Christian theologian as he seeks to exercise his role as a defender of the faith.

Interpreting the New Testament message in such a way that the modern man can readily understand it has been the object of …
