A Pastor's Guidebook For Effective Pastoral Calling, Douglas O'Neal Dougherty

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There are many phases of the pastoral ministry, each one having a unique and necessary purpose. A high emphasis has always been placed on the pastor as a preacher. Serving as administrator has also been encouraged. Today, the phase of the pastor as counselor has been reaching the forefront. It is true that these are all vital parts of the pastoral ministry, but there is yet another phase that must not be neglected. This is pastoral calling. Without effectively practicing this phase, the pastor's ministry is lacking and incomplete.

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The purpose of this study has been to research the area of Biblical hermeneutics in order to gain a historical perspective upon which the author could build his personal practical system of interpreting the Bible.

This study has been limited to Biblical hermeneutics from the larger area of general hermeneutics. It has further been limited to the major historical representatives and schools of thought and the major principles which have evolved from these, because of·the vast amount of material which has been written on this subject. From these principles the writer has chosen the ones which he feels to …

A Christian Concept Of Anthropology Derived From The Johannine Literature, Alan Lester Wyatt Sr.

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem that has been attempted to be resolved by this research was the primary evaluation of the contents of the Johannine literature in order to ascertain its teaching on anthropology with limited reference to the Westminster Confession of Faith and Herman Dooyeweerd's A New Critique of Theoretical Thought.

It was hoped that the Johannine problem would shed light on the most significant problem confronting modern contemplative and speculative philosophical thought which is: ''What is the nature of man ?" Indeed, from the earliest writing of man to the present day, reflections of serious thinkers have filled volumes in an …

The Pastor As A Counselor: Premarital And Marital, Ronald C. Notbohm

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

In the United States in 1965, 1,789,000 marriages were performed. In the same year there were 481,000 divorces granted. In addition, less than five out of ten Americans consider their marriage "very happy." And over half of the Americans who did consider themselves to be very happily married felt inadequate as wives or husbands. It is important to notice that since most of those planning on marriage go to the pastor to,perform the ceremony and ask for guidance, many families having marital problems go first to their pastor for help. Dr. Wayne E. Oates has said:

The pastor, regardless of …

Sanctification In Romans Chapter Six, R. Larry Shelton

Faculty Publications - Portland Seminary

One of the central themes of St. Paul is the concept of union with Christ. The apostle deals with this subject at length in Romans chapter six. Using the rite of baptism as a basis, Paul shows how the believer becomes united with Christ in an interpersonal sharing of spirits. He then points out the implications of this relationship for sanctification. Thus sanctification is vitally connected with the relationship of the believer to Christ.

An Analysis Of Music In The Bible, Dennis Bert Hagen

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Music of antiquity has been found to be of interest only to the historians and musicologists who make their living by dissecting the labyrinth of ancient word references and pictures. Due to it's age, the music of the Bible has been a part of this maze. Though there have possibly been more commentaries written upon the text of Biblical wit than on any other book, few have enlightened their readers With a discussion of the specific musical practices of the ancient Hebrews and early Christians. This parsimony of the biblical. schol.ar over his primary concerns in theology has left a …

An Inquiry Into The Religious Experience Of The Godly Hebrew In The Old Testament, Dean C. Gonnerman

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem under consideration was an inquiry into the nature of the religious experience of the Godly Hebrew in the Old Testament. The pious Hebrew worshipped God according to the dictates of his heart and in keeping with the forms of worship set forth under the Levitical system. It was the nature of this worship experience which was under consideration. The fundamental psychological elements of religious experience were examined as criteria for recognizing and analyzing the essentials of a valid spiritual consciousness as it appeared in the Old Testament. The Biblical study of the problem centered in three general areas: …

An Inquiry Into The Nature And Worship Of God With Special Reference To The Second Commandment, Virgil Dunber

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem considered in this study has been: Does the Bible permit the use of man--made images of God, or images that man might intend to represent God? This is related to the problem: Can an image created by man help man to know God?

The word image, in this study, has been selected to cover the wide subject of visual art work. Both statues and pictures are included, because no essential difference between statues and pictures has been found.

Questions About Quakerism, Alexander Purdy

Historical Quaker Books

Quaker Lecture, Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, Richmond, Indiana. August 15, 1962.

Excerpt: "It is my purpose to raise and briefly answer some of the many questions asked about the Quakers both by outsiders and insiders, non-Friends and members of the Society. I am, of course, speaking only for myself and not in any official capacity. I shall, however, try to present a Quaker consensus rather than special points of view."

Church Architectural Planning For Evangelical Christian Education, Paul Bullman

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The church and Christian education are very closely related. The New Testament teaches that the church is the body of Christ. This body is composed of human beings whose lips, hands, and feet are dedicated, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, to the revealing of Christ to the world.l It is the evangelical position that points up the fact that all men are depraved, or incapable of saving themselves. Salvation can only come from the divine miracle of regeneration.

For all "Who hold to this evangelical standard of salvation by regeneration, the true aim of Christian education is two …

"Heart" (Kardia) In The Doctrine Of Soteriology, Clyde James Zehr

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem under consideration was an investigation of the doctrine of soteriology set forth by conservative evangelical theologians in the light of the New Testament usage of the term "heart" (kardia). The term "heart" (kardia) is a prominent word in the New Testament, especially in the areas referring specifically to sin and salvation from sin. Any doctrine of salvation from sin will, therefore, be greatly influenced and affected by the interpretation placed upon the New Testament writers' meaning of this word. Basically, the problem had three main areas of investigation: first, to determine the scriptural meaning of "heart" (kardia) in …

A Comparative Study Of The Wesleyan-Arminian And Calvinistic Doctrines Of The Perseverance Of The Saints As Set Forth By Selected Representatives, M. Edward Hegle

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The Christian doctrine of the perseverance of the saints is an important teaching in the field of Christian theology. Perseverance is persistence in a state of grace until it is succeeded by a state of glory. Bible believing Christians in the evangelical churches have not been in complete agreement in their views of this important Christian tenet.

As one who has anticipated serving in the pastorate of the Evangelical United Brethren Church the writer was aware of his need to be able to guide the people in his parish to an intelligent understanding of this tenet and lead them in …
