Purpose Clauses In The Pauline Epistles, Herbert Mueller
Purpose Clauses In The Pauline Epistles, Herbert Mueller
Bachelor of Divinity
A working knowledge of the Greek language is a very valuable asset to the minister of the Gospel, and has a rightful place in his professional equipment. It belongs to his tools. The better the tool, the more efficient will the workman be. The better acquainted the minister is with the. Bible, his One Tool, the more effective will his service be.
The Life And Teachings Of John The Baptist, Reinhold Mueller
The Life And Teachings Of John The Baptist, Reinhold Mueller
Bachelor of Divinity
Thus it is the office of John• which we honor. The office of John was first of all to make the world humble, to call people to repentance and make them confess their sins, that is, to preach the Law. Secondly he was to preach forgiveness of sins and salvation, the sweet Gospel with all it’s comfort. Therefore he who reads Walther's "Gesets und Evangelium" may do well to study the teachings of John at the same time, and he will find it an excellent collateral reading tor his study. Of course we know that there are extremes on both …
St Paul's Use Of The Word Πνευμα, Paul Meyer
St Paul's Use Of The Word Πνευμα, Paul Meyer
Bachelor of Divinity
No one who studies the writings of St. Paul for any length of time can fail to note the frequent recurrence of this word and the importance which attaches to a correct understanding of its various shades of meaning. It occurs 149 times in the thirteen letters commonly ascribed to Paul, and, while there is in a study of Paul's conception of ηνε̂υμα a rich supply of material for investigation alike by the philosopher, the philologist, and the theologian, it is in the last field that its greatest value lies. Without a correct understanding of what Paul meant by the …
God's Manifestation As Jehovah In Exodus 3-15, 18, Willis Laetsch
God's Manifestation As Jehovah In Exodus 3-15, 18, Willis Laetsch
Bachelor of Divinity
It is remarkable that in the first two chapters of Exodus the expression "the Lord” is not once used. There only "God" is found; cp. the last three verses of chapter 2, where "God" is used five times in quick succession. Due to this notable lack of "the Lord" and the predominance of "God" in Genesis and the first two chapters of Exodus, critics have devised the theory of two authors, the Elohist and the Jahvist, the former in his record using the expression Elohim and the latter Jahweh. However, that is only the rationalistic point of view. In comparison …
The Work Of The Holy Ghost In The Pauline Epistles With Special Reference To Enthusism, Norbert Mueller
The Work Of The Holy Ghost In The Pauline Epistles With Special Reference To Enthusism, Norbert Mueller
Bachelor of Divinity
Ever since the beginning of the Christian Church, Satan has tried to corrupt also this precious doctrine. In this treatise we shall consider, above all, one perversion of the doctrine of the work of the Holy Ghost, namely, the error of Enthusiasm, which our Confessions describe as the folly of "fanatical men, who dream that the Holy Ghost is given not through the Word, but because of certain preparation of their own, if they sit unoccupied and silent in obscure places, waiting for illumination, as the Enthusiasts formerly taught and the Anabaptists now teach.”
Predestination According To Ephesians 1, 3-14, Delvin Ressel
Predestination According To Ephesians 1, 3-14, Delvin Ressel
Bachelor of Divinity
The last of these expressions shall form the basis for the outline of the present treatise, in this slightly altered form: "Eternal election of grace in Christ Jesus responsible for all the spiritual blessings of Justification, conversion, sanctification, and preservation." Part One will deal with, the Decree of Election, or Election in Eternity, while Part Two will deal with the Execution of this Decree, or Election in Time. Each part will treat the respective terms of the definition according to "Definition" and. "Proof."
A Comparison Of Ephesians With Colossians, Martin Haendschke
A Comparison Of Ephesians With Colossians, Martin Haendschke
Bachelor of Divinity
In beginning a study of these two epistles of St. Paul one begins to understand what is meant by the “unfathomable wisdom or God.” As one delves deeper into the text, one must certainly realize that our human wisdom is indeed puny and inadequate; in fact, not even worthy to be termed wisdom! However, this is not to be a dissertation on the wisdom of man, nor is it in the least way to indicate that man can fully understand these great truths of Scripture as we find them in these two beautifully written epistles, but it is to attempt …
The Messianic Sedes In Genesis, Ludwig Helmstetter
The Messianic Sedes In Genesis, Ludwig Helmstetter
Bachelor of Divinity
The scope of this thesis is a study of the Messianic content of the Book of Genesis. It is not the purpose merely to restate traditional orthodox interpretations of the passages in question and to refute differing interpretations; nor is any attempt made to present new points of interpretation. The approach is fundamentally that of the Bible student whose purpose is to see what the text says and what Holy Scripture says about it.
Alleged Anachronisms In The Pentateuch, Eugene Bertermann
Alleged Anachronisms In The Pentateuch, Eugene Bertermann
Bachelor of Divinity
The history of Pentateuchal criticism shows that the importance of the postmosaica has long been widely recognized. On these alone Rabbi Aben Ezra based his doubts of the integrity of the Pentateuch. In the seventeenth century Peyrerius, Spinoza, and Hobbes again advanced only the postmosnica in their attacks on the Pentateuch, although we suspect that they were motivated ultimately by more sinister motives than a desire to find out the truth in these passages of Moses. Clericus goes a step farther and acknowledges the validity of two arguments against the Pentateuch, that of style, as well as the anachronisms. But …
The Servant Of The Lord In Isaiah Fifity-Three, John Paul Uhlig
The Servant Of The Lord In Isaiah Fifity-Three, John Paul Uhlig
Bachelor of Divinity
Who is meant in chapter fifty-three? Critics have split into many camps. Some hold that Isaiah is speaking of all Israel; some, that he designates only the pious in Israel; while certain ones hold that the prophet is speaking of some individual. The Christian Church has, however, from the very beginning held that Isaiah is speaking of the Messiah. And that this is the true interpretation is pointed out at length in the following chapters. In one section of sixteen verses the evangelist of the Old Testament points a picture of the work of Christ. His humiliation is stressed as …
A Refutation Of Modern Higher Critical Arguments Against The Authenticity Of The Davidic Psalms, W C. Koester
A Refutation Of Modern Higher Critical Arguments Against The Authenticity Of The Davidic Psalms, W C. Koester
Bachelor of Divinity
Setting out to inspect literary productions, the higher critics seek to ascertain their dates, their authors and their value "as they themselves may yield the evidence." It is our purpose here, however, to deal only with their considerations advanced in opposition to the conservative view, that David is the author of those Psalms ascribed to him in their titles (seventy-three in all), and in favor of the critical view, advocating a late origin in either exilic or post-exilic times. In classifying their arguments we find that there are essentially three modes of attack used against the authenticity of the Davidic …
The Use Of ΧάΡιε In The Pauline Epistles, Walter W. Stuenkel
The Use Of ΧάΡιε In The Pauline Epistles, Walter W. Stuenkel
Bachelor of Divinity
The word χάριδ, under consideration in this thesis, holds a peculiar prestige in Lutheran theology. Our Lutheran Church is distinctly proud when it unfurls the banner of salvation by grace alone, and thereby distinguishes itself from all heterodox and unchristian bodies which corrupt this doctrine taught by χάριδ in Scripture and especially clarified in the Pauline Epistles.
A Treatment Of The Article Of New Testament Greek, Raymond Pollatz
A Treatment Of The Article Of New Testament Greek, Raymond Pollatz
Bachelor of Divinity
Since the turn of the century the conceptions of New Testament language have undergone a radical change. Until this time "Biblical" Greek was essentially an isolated language. Two extremes had been followed in the appraisal of the New Testament Greek. On the one hand, the Purist insisted on finding parallels for all constructions in classical Greek. This was an impossible task. On the other hand, we had the Hebraist who found Semitic influence where there was none. Two separate groups of evidence have entered to break down these false conceptions. These are the papyri and the inscriptions of the age.
The Resurrection Of The Body In The Old Testament - An Exegetical Study, Allen Schuldheisz
The Resurrection Of The Body In The Old Testament - An Exegetical Study, Allen Schuldheisz
Bachelor of Divinity
It will be the object of the following treatise to present, in a brief way, some of the Scriptural evidence from the O.T., showing that the believers of the Old Covenant held fast to the hope or a resurrection as a cardinal article of their faith.
The Kingdom Of Heaven Or The Kingdom Of God In The New Testament, William F. Doeling
The Kingdom Of Heaven Or The Kingdom Of God In The New Testament, William F. Doeling
Bachelor of Divinity
Today with ever greater insistence is urged the question, “What is the Kingdom of God?" The question is evidently prompted by a dissatisfaction with former definitions. A new definition is wanted, a new interpretation of the Kingdom and the Gospel of the Kingdom is sought. It is not enough to answer that God is unchangeable, His purposes and Kingdom likewise. No, the question must be answered again.
The Morality Of The Book Of Judges, Otto F. Stahlke
The Morality Of The Book Of Judges, Otto F. Stahlke
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this paper is not to establish the moral standard obtaining in this period of disorder, as though the standard of Jehovah were inferior to that of a later day, in that the deeds of God's specially chosen deliverers, were to be an example to His people also morally, thereby making the standard. An objective examination of this morality would prove it the same as the Biblical morality of any other age; but that lies beyond our discussion. Again the purpose is not to prove that the Judges or God's people did nothing contrary to the moral law …
An Evaluation Of Critical Opinions Concerning Time, Place, And Readers Of Ephesians, Martin W. Mueller
An Evaluation Of Critical Opinions Concerning Time, Place, And Readers Of Ephesians, Martin W. Mueller
Bachelor of Divinity
Especially in the last few years there has been much discussion on the Time and Place of the Composition of Ephesians. Closely connected with this is the question: To whom was the Epistle addressed? The determining of these two factors plays a large part in the establishing of the authenticity of Ephesians. Hence, this treatise offers: "An Evaluation of Critical Opinions concerning Time, and Place, and Readers of Ephesians," in the hope that it may to some small degree serve this end.
Saving Faith In The Old Testament, Frederick L. Miller
Saving Faith In The Old Testament, Frederick L. Miller
Bachelor of Divinity
Since faith in Christ is absolutely indispensable for salvation; and since by faith in Christ the people of the O. T., like those of the N.T., must have been saved, since there is salvation in no other name (Acts 2, 42): we must be able to find this faith expressed or implied in the O.T. There is sufficient testimony in the N.T. for this faith of the people of the Old Covenant, and so for Christians our problem is no problem; but when we deal with Jews, and when we consider the matter historically, we are thrown upon the O.T. …
The Difficult Verses Of The Song Of Deborah Expounded, E A. Schack
The Difficult Verses Of The Song Of Deborah Expounded, E A. Schack
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis is to give a translation of the entire Song and offer a tenable solution of the linguistic difficulties found therein, established on sound biblical exegesis, and not by corrupting the text, as critics have done and yet do; for that mititates against the clear conception or Holy Writ.
The Christian Pastor And His Problems- A Pastoral Study Of The Epistles Of Paul To The Corinthians, Mark J. Steege
The Christian Pastor And His Problems- A Pastoral Study Of The Epistles Of Paul To The Corinthians, Mark J. Steege
Bachelor of Divinity
Paul’s life and teachings form also the subject of this essay, insofar as they apply to the office and work of the pastor. Since his letters to the Corinthians are the most valuable in giving us information on just this phase, the essay will be limited to passages taken from these two books or the Bible. The essay is divided into two parts: I. The Pastor; and II. The Pastor's Problems.
Speeches In The Book Of Acts, C C. Nieman
Speeches In The Book Of Acts, C C. Nieman
Bachelor of Divinity
While a discussion or the isagogical questions of Acts does not belong into the sphere of this treatise properly, we will find that a consideration of the most pertinent questions in the field will be helpful and explanatory of various phrases which will be used. We will, however, limit ourselves to only a few of the most important and evident questions, lest we stray to far afield. Again, let me add, that no arguments pro and con will be advanced, but only the results and conclusions of the most eminent scholars in the field will be presented, in order to …
The Day Of Atonement, Philip Albrecht
The Day Of Atonement, Philip Albrecht
Bachelor of Divinity
There was, however, one festival, which clearly and definitely symbolized the Messiah and his work. This was the Day of Atonement. It fore-shadowed the Messiah in many ways, but especially in his office as high-priest, his mediation and atonement by sacrifice. For this reason the Day of Atonement has a greater significance for us than the other festivals of the Old Testament. It has direct prophecies of the Christ who atoned for us.
Die Schiloweissagung Gen. 49 ,8-12, Alfred Ottomar Fuerbringer
Die Schiloweissagung Gen. 49 ,8-12, Alfred Ottomar Fuerbringer
Bachelor of Divinity
The Shiloh prophecy is a much controversial Pericope. We have been finding different ones for a long time Versions of the same, and in the story the exegesis has no explanation and after all others displaced, but it came to the old ones who still found representatives still adding new ones, so nowadays it's almost half a hundred different explanations, interpretations, Derivatives, and conjectures there. The old, direct-personal interpretation is used by most modern commentators (from those of the twentieth Century almost unanimously). The principles according to the history of religion is rolled it was such a prophecy in the …
Criticism Of The Theories Regarding The Epistle To The Ephesians, Herbert Hellbusch
Criticism Of The Theories Regarding The Epistle To The Ephesians, Herbert Hellbusch
Bachelor of Divinity
In reading the Epistle to the Ephesians one is impressed by its peculiar loftiness and its grandeur in style. Scholars quite generally have accepted it as one of the sublimest and most profound of all the New Testament writings. Dr Salmond says: "In the judgment of many who are well entitled to deliver an opinion, it is the grandest of all the Pauline letters" (l). And Hayes remarks: "This epistle is a work of art. Its sublimity of thought is matched by its beauty of expression" (2). Strong calls this Epistle "the greatest production of inspiration" and adds, "the apostle …
The Aramaisms In The Psalms, J Henry Gienapp
The Aramaisms In The Psalms, J Henry Gienapp
Bachelor of Divinity
The above title suggests in a general way the topic to be considered. Naturally a subject of this kind permits varied treatment. The philologist, the grammarian, the exegete - each, guided by his peculiar interest, will present the matter in such a manner as to lay emphasis on that phase of the topic which to his mind is most essential. To us, also, this subject is of a special interest. We are concerned with the Aramaisms in the Psalms as evidence of their date of composition. We are interested in finding out what part Aramaisms play in fixing the date …
Die Identitaet Der Person Des 2, 3,7,12-16 Geweissagten Davidssamens Und Gottessohns Mit Jesu Christo Aus Dem Neuen Testamente Erwiesen, Henry E. Proehl
Die Identitaet Der Person Des 2, 3,7,12-16 Geweissagten Davidssamens Und Gottessohns Mit Jesu Christo Aus Dem Neuen Testamente Erwiesen, Henry E. Proehl
Bachelor of Divinity
The testimony of the New Testament not only justifies that Bible-believing exegetes, the interpretation of the Old Testament passages to seek in the words of the evangelists and apostles, but rather, drives and compels him to do so.
