The Use Of The Old Testament In The Sermons Of Acts, Robert C. Schultz
The Use Of The Old Testament In The Sermons Of Acts, Robert C. Schultz
Bachelor of Divinity
The Church’s attitude toward Scripture is reflected in its use of Scripture. This thesis is an attempt to discover the principles which controlled the early church’s use of Scripture. The investigation centers on three points: 1) the text of the Old Testament used by the early church; 2) the early church’s purpose in quoting Scripture; 3) generea1 principles of interpretation followed by the early church. The investigation is restricted to the use of the Old Testament in five sermons recorded in the book of Acts. Since the scope of the investigation is limited, only tentative conclusions can be obtained.

Our purpose, then, will be an objective comparison of the functions of Paul's Sophia with the personal Chokmah. The logos of John will frequently enter in by way of comparison. The close relationship between the three will be evident throughout.

Matthew's Method Of Quoting The Old Testament, Lorenz Otto Nieting
Bachelor of Divinity
In examining Matthew’s use of the Old Testament, we are immediately confronted by the problem of the language that he uses in quoting the Old Testament. The problem simply stated is to find out whether Matthew used the Hebrew, the Septuagint, an Aramaic version, or extant Greek version of the Old Testament: or if he used a number of these versions. In the case of the latter we shall try to determine under what circumstances Matthew used the one or the other version.

The Significance Of The New Testament Concept "In The Name", Herman Witzgall
Bachelor of Divinity
In the following pages I am presenting as clearly as possible the origin as well as the meaning of the New Testament formula "in the name" in the light of the most up-to-date research in the field of New Testament study.

Biblical Concept Of Διαθηϗη, Elmer Griesse
Bachelor of Divinity
ΔιαθηϏη is a key-word in Scripture, used to describe the relationship of God to man and man to God. There can be nothing more valuable for man than a right relationship to God. With God, man is supremely happy, without God man is totally unhappy, and is doomed to eternal unhappiness and misery.
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 …
