Karl Barth And Evangelism, Gregory G. Bolich

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

All beginnings are hard. Often a beginning is difficult because not enough people perceive its desirability or need. Starting is hard when all things appear new, for the way ahead is unseen. Usually, a vision is necessary. Generally, the foundation of the past is essential. But faith is the sine qua non for an evangelical beginning.

The Importance Of Doctrinal Teaching In Holiness Camp Meetings, David C. Johnson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Interest in this research began during the summer of 1974 with the author's involvement in a doctrine class for teenagers. The class was part of the program of the Jennings Lodge Summer Assembly Camp of the Evangelical Church of North America. Each general class had already been established, but no curriculum had been chosen. Thus it was necessary to improvise until improvement could be made. Therefore, this project began as an attempt to provide doctrinal material for teaching teens foundations of faith in the summer camp setting. It includes research into the needs of youth, as well as methods through …

A Study Of Christian (Systematic) Theology Books Used As Texts In A. T. S. Schools, Richard Alvin Johnson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

In an era today of rapid growth in knowledge, the average contemporary man has forgotten the Creator, applauding only the creations of his own mind. It has been and is the task of theologians, whether pastors or professors,. to keep alive the option of belief in the reality of God--to remind man to clap. In the theologian's field of knowledge, as in all arenas of thought, literary works have exploded, bombed, and even splintered in a mind-expanding wilderness of information. Access to this knowledge and its availability to theologians was the impetus for the following study.

The Theology Of Righteousness: A Lecture Series, Andrew James Isaac

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

This study was designed to exegete the entire book of Romans. The study is an effort to produce a sound and thorough evangelical exposition of the book and to discover how the exposition might be applied practically.

Basically, the approach to the exposition of the book is done from various vantage points.

There is the Homiletical approach. The study is treated as a prolonged series of expository sermons. Hence the study will provide a rich resource for the preaching pastor.

There is the Analytical approach. The study is meticulously analyzed. The contents of the book are carefully and even tediously …

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 Of Some Aspects Of The Biblical Theology Of New Testament Preaching, Samuel Hayden Walsh

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study was to determine the Biblical theology of New Testament preaching with respect to content and character. What was it that the Apostles preached and how did they preach it? What was "preaching" in the New Testament sense of the word? Because there are many divergent opinions and volumes on preaching which have poured out of the publishing houses in this twentieth century, the author was amazed that few have come to grips with answering these questions in a realistic and complete way.

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.

The Teaching Of John Wesley Concerning The Mediatorial Kingdom Of God, Charles Stephen Waite

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

It was the task of this investigation to determine the teaching of John Wesley concerning the nature of the mediatorial kingdom; to discover his view pertaining to the nature of the mediatorial kingdom in relation to the individual; and to decide upon the relation of his doctrine of the mediatorial kingdom to the Church and last things.

The justification for this research was based upon two reasons. First of all, the man, whose writings with which this study has concerned itself, has been concerned an outstanding theologian and biblical scholar. John Lawson wrote concerning the importance of Wesley to Christianity; …

"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 …

An Examination Of The Definition Terms Used In The Biblical Doctrine Of The Atonement, Gary L. Minshull

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Evangelicals have always regarded the Bible as the ultimate source of doctrine as well as morale. This attitude applies, of course, to its teaching on the Atonement of Christ. This scriptural teaching on this subject is described by a number of definitive terms, the meaning of which is crucial to the formulation of a biblical doctrine of the Atonement. These terms, however, have never been studied in a comprehensive manner, and in no case has evidence been presented to show their meaning in relation to each other.

A Study Of Christian Praise, Ronald Gene Debock

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The function of praise has taken so many forms that its place in theology today is unclear. In some circles within the Christian framework it seems to this writer to have been almost unwanted. On the other hand, some of the more exaggerated forms of praise have been associated with emotionalism. The Christian believer who seeks a proper balance in this regard, whether in his private worship or in the worship services of his local church, needs to understand the scope of Christian praise as it is taught in the Scriptures and in common experience.
