The Origin And Development Of The Mar Thoma Church Of India, M. Matthews

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The purpose of this study was to make an intensive survey of the origin and develoment of the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of India. The name 'St. Thomas Christians' came to be known among the Church historians and among several Christian writers much earlier on account of the long standing tradition that St. Thomas, one of the twelve disciples of Christ, brought the Gospel to the South Western coast of India early in the second half of the first century and founded the first seven Churches in South India. The reliability of this tradition has been a matter of much …

The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod And World War I-A Study Of The Loyalty Problem During World War I And Theodore Conrad Graebner's Attempt To Solve It, Walter Steinbach

Master of Divinity Thesis

This paper deals with troubles experienced by the Missouri Synod in general, but its answer to the major problems are based almost exclusively on the writings of Professor Theodore Conrad Graebner. Professor Graebner was on the faculty at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1914 he assumed the role as co-editor of the Lutheran Witness, the official English periodical of the Missouri Synod. Professor Graebner was probably the most important leader of the Missouri Synod who attempted to prove its loyalty during this time. He also became the advisor, for many pastors who did not know what to do …

A Definition And An Application Of Some Hermaneutical Principles, Rodney K. Ruger

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.

A Study Of The Holy Spirit In The Farewell Disclosure Of Jesus, Walter Henderson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The investigation under consideration was an inquiry into the relationship between the Holy Spirit and Christ, the Holy Spirit and the believer, and the Holy Spirit and the world.

Twentieth-Century Lutheran Attitudes Toward War, Daniel Parsch

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper is an attempt to show the attitudes and ideas of leading Lutherans on the matter of war and the participation in war. The Lutheran Church has been, in the past, and remains an important part of the whole Christian witness.

In order to limit the scope of such a study, the paper will deal mainly with 20th Century attitudes. Likewise, the main Lutheran bodies to …

A Study Of The Doctrine Of Holiness In The Thought Of A. W. Tozer, Kenneth Leroy Friesen

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Holiness, its true meaning and place in the experience of Christian living, has always been a special concern for serious, thoughtful Christians. It has been interpreted in the context of Holy Scripture, Christian history, and contemporary life, with the resulting beliefs usually dividing along denominational or theological lines. The Christian populace has naturally received its teachings about holiness from the lips and pens of its leaders . One such leader was Aiden Wilson Tozer, (1897-1963), a pastor of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, editor of "'I'he Alliance Witness," Bible teacher, and writer. His teaching on holiness was the subject of …

Michael Praetorius Creuzbergensis-The Man, The Musician, The Theologian: An Introduction, David Susan

Master of Divinity Thesis

One particular focus of this paper will be Praetorius' theology of music, woven of the thread of coneio et cantio, sermon and song, that runs through the prefaces and dedicatory letters to many of his works.

The overall purpose of this paper is to make available in English an introduction to the music and thought of Praetorius, since most of the primary sources and much of the secondary literature are not translated. Material quoted in the text from German and Latin sources has been translated into English, and a translation of one important primary source, his Funeral Sermon, is appended …

A Study Of Matthew 3:13-17 -- The Baptism Of Jesus, Werner Boos

Bachelor of Divinity

The fact that Jesus came to John the Baptist in order to be baptized by him fascinates and puzzles many Christians. The event evokes many significant questions: What was the exact nature of the baptism administered by John the Baptist? Why did Jesus submit himself to such a baptism? What significance did the baptismal event hold for Jesus' subsequent ministry? What did it mean to the evangelists and to their original audiences? How did it influence the Christian sacrament of baptism? These and similar questions prompt the present study--a study which takes as its exegetical point of departure the most …
