An Introductory Study Of The Terms Used Of Idols In The Old Testament, Roland Dede

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis, as is implied in the title, is to present an introductory study of the terns used of idols in the Old Testament. It is needless to say that no attempt has been made even to approximate an exhaustive presentation of all, or any single one of the forty-eight terms which cone into consideration. Indeed, almost any one of the terms would be found upon thorough study in itself to provide sufficient material for an acceptable thesis. We have, therefore, confined our attention to just those facts which we thought were strictly essential for at least …

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

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

Bachelor of Divinity

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."

The Use Of Illustrations In Christian Preaching, Armand Ulbrich

Bachelor of Divinity

One of the devices which preachers throughout the centuries have employed to bring their message to the hearts of the people more clearly and forcefully is Illustration. Christ used illustrations. Paul used illustrations, Cbrysotom, Augustin, and Luther used illustrations, and so do the great preachers of today. We, too, in our preaching should use illustrations. We should use them as effectively as possible. It is the purpose of this paper to present the principals involved in the effective use of illustrations in Christian preaching and to show how these principles are to be applied.

Gnosticism And Its Conflict With Christianity, Gerhardt Nitz

Bachelor of Divinity

The study of such a movement as Gnosticism is doubly important to the student of' theology. This is a phase of history which greatly influenced the church in its infancy. It has left marks upon the church which will never be erased. Moreover, a study of this heresy is essential for the proper understanding of the New Testament. Again, the influence of Gnosticism, as will be pointed out later continued for many centuries. Such a deeply rooted, powerful, paganistic tendency cannot be lightly passed by.

The New Testament Canon In The Apostolic Fathers, Howard Schoenfeldt

Bachelor of Divinity

This work is an independent investigation into the question of the New Testament canon in the Apostolic Fathers, and has been regarded as an original research problem. Therefore there are no references to the monumental works of Westcott, Zahn, and others in this field. Again, the purpose has been to establish the knowledge which the Fathers possessed on the basis of citations from them, and to let their words speak for themselves.

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 …

Honors Theses

No abstract provided.

Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Democratic Leader, Jerome A. Hurwitz

Master's Theses

There has been considerable time spent in writing the life and accomplishments of Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson, although he had several children, never had a son. Therefore, Thomas Jefferson Randolph, the son of Martha Jefferson Randolph, was the most direct male descendant of the second President.

However, no one has made an attempt to write the biography of the grandson . It is particularly appropriate to write his life not only because of Thomas Jefferson Randolph's famous lineage but because he was an ardent adherent to the Democratic principles of his illustrious grandfather.

Events Which Led To The Conquest Of Ethiopia By Italy, Raymond Adam Mazalewski

Bachelors’ Theses

It is a tremendous task trying to read through all the matter which has been published on the Italo-Ethiopian conflict. One must be careful in his reading so that he will be able to separate the material into the different catagories. Because the available information is tinged with onesided view points, fanatical view points, not to mention propaganda from both sides. As the result, it becomes difficult at times to discriminate between bias and true facts.

The Problem Of Left-Handedness, Mary Anne Haas

Bachelors’ Theses

Why are people left-handed? "That the average man is right-handed is so well known, that it would appear hardly worth noting the fact, but left-handed men are so common that the question, 'Why are all men not right-handed?' must frequently have been asked, and up to the present date diligent search and enquiry by the writer has not resulted in finding that anyone published a satisfactory reply; this is the excuse for bringing the subject before you again."

The Spleen Of The Frog, Clifford F. Moran

Bachelors’ Theses

Although we of today are living In a relatively advanced state of civilization, there still remains to be solved by man many familiar mysteries. These are found not only in the physical order but in the chemical and biological as well. It seems that the greater strides man takes toward the solution of his difficulties, the more other ones crop up to plague him. With the conquering of such deadly diseases as Diphtheria, Malaria and Scarlet Fever, man once dared to dream about a universe free from sickness. Yet today we find that three others have arisen which are causing …

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to discover whether a reader of The New York Times during the year 1937, could with a certain degree of confidence prophesy an impending general war on the continent of Europe. Precisely how was The Times informing its thousands of readers of the various crises and events of extremely critical nature transpiring in the world during the year?

Certain Aspects Of The Communal Function And Relations Of The Drama In The Middle Ages, William Thomas Schroder

Bachelors’ Theses

Today, such expressions as, "The Community Players", "The Community Play-house", and "The Community Drama", evidence the interest in the revival of the drama as a community enterprise. The drama, in its European infancy, was very decidedly a community affair. It was a community affair from the standpoint both of production and of observation. In this thesis we shall trace the evolution of the Medieval Drama in its popular, social relationships, and endeavor to show how and in what respects it belonged to all of the people.

Lewi Sarett, The Poet, June Kathleen Wallner

Bachelors’ Theses

Doctor Lew Sarett believes that poetry is the record of beauty and it 1s implications, which are usually social; which highly observant men have seen and the prose facts of the world in which they live. He went further to explain that poetry records the works of Divine Providence. The poet records the things which he consciously captures; such as the affright of beauty and it's implications and the social implications which interest him• Insight, according to Sarett, is the key to good poetry; it may simply be a record of beauty.

The Huguenots, though they were not known by this nomenclature until later, had their origin in France about the middle of the sixteenth century, nearly 400 years ago. As pioneers in the field of absoute libery, the Huguenots probably rendered their greatest sergvice to the world. From the beginning, their slogan has ever been: "An open Bible, freedom of conscience, political and religious liberty."

Governors' Conferences As A Substitute For Further Centralization By Attempting Uniformity, Esther Mary Klinka

Bachelors’ Theses

The writer originally had her interest in this topic aroused by a reference to the reading of W. Brooke Graves' book entitled "Uniform State Action", wherein the possibilities for Governors' Conferences as one substitute for further centralization as a means to greater uniformity, was suggested. It seemed a worthwhile project to try and further plumb the possibilities of this suggestion.

In the following thesis, I have endeavored to trace the history of the English actor on the American stage up to the year 1825.

Bachelors’ Theses

1216. England distracted by civil war and invaded by a foreign prince, Louis of France, was left at the death of King John in the hands of a regent, who was ninety years old, and a boy, who had just turned nine. The boy was John’s son, Henry III, whose reign is one of the longest in English history. (1216-1272). The long reign of Henry III marks a further stage in the transition from an absolute to a limited monarchy. Henry, being a minor at his father’s death, governed England through a regent, William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, who was …

Thatrical Reviews And Dramatic Criticisms Of Pulitzer Prize Dramas, Mary Agnes Mclaughlin

Bachelors’ Theses

The popular conception of dramatic criticism to the majority of people and oftentimes producers and directors is that the dramatic critic seems a spiritless person whose interest leads him only into judgment and away from performance. Another cause for head shaking is the simple fact that one man assumes the right to pass judgment on his peers, to say nothing of his betters.

Bachelors’ Theses

This dissertation is closely confined to a study of the Social Security Act, the provisions made by the Federal Government in aiding the states and the plans used by the various states.

Social Aspects Of The Civil War, Elizabeth L. Ryan

Bachelors’ Theses

In this thesis it has been the intention of the author to trace the non-military aspects of the Civil lar in the United States. Perhaps the cause underlying all immediate cause, was a social one, brought about by two entirely different social structures under the same Constitution. When one side tried to break away and aet up its own government, a war resulted which saw each aide fighting with faith in its own cause. The result was a South, torn of ancient tradition&, and broken economically, socially, and politically. The struggle to build up a new civilization from the ruins …
