The Study Of The Problem Of Suffering And Chastening, Lester A. Wetzstein

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The mid-week prayer meeting was the setting that provided the first incentive for this study. The mystery of the subject has been in the background of the writer's thinking from his early teens. As the people united in prayer, they would follow much of the usual pattern week after week. Occasionally some particular suffering of unusual severity prompted the people to unite in praying for deliverance. The writer definitely had no thought of questioning their faith. He is confident that they were sincere in the prayer they were offering. Then in the same prayer someone would pray for the …

A Comparison Of The Wesleyan And Keswickian Interpretations Of The Work Of The Holy Spirit In Believers, John Mcclimans

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem of the Christian believer's deliverance from sin is of concern to all traditional Christian theology. That the believer has a root of sin from which he must be delivered before he may enter heaven is generally granted. The point of divergence lies in the answers to those questions; what is original sin, when and how may one expect deliverance from it? Among the various Wesleyan groups a "this-life" solution to the sin problem is stressed, but because there are various answers to the question, "what is original sin?" the nature of the solution will be variously understood. The …

A Study Of The Biblical Basis For Tithing, John W. Anderson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Tithing is included as a portion of a Christian's obligation to the Church by most Christian groups of today. A considerable amount of material has been written on the subject.

A Biblical Study Of The Divorce Problem, Nathan Krampitz

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The minister has a complex task.. He is a preacher, teacher, counsellor, and pastor. Part of his work is to perform marriages. In doing this he is often asked to perform marriages where one or both parties are divorcees. He needs to decide then whether or not he will marry them.. This is not an easy decision to make.

Most churches have an official ruling for the denomination. But many ministers do not adhere to this official ruling. There are also differences in the official positions which the churches take. Since there is so much confusion in the matter of …

A Study Of The Problem Of Suffering And Chastening, Lester A. Wetzstein

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem of this study was to show that the ideas of suffering and chastening individually are derived from more than one original term and are universal realities throughout biblical history on the basis of terminology which appears in most books of the Bible, that both suffering and chastening are realities in human experience, and that suffering comprises one of the essential instruments in the greater purpose of the experience of chastening.

The reality of suffering is one of the most universal facts of human experience. From a child's first suffering of hunger pangs to the experience of death this …

These materials vary in approach and interpretation. It was the author's purpose to find the Biblical basis and teaching for tithing, both in the Old and New Testaments.

The repeated references to tithing in the Scripture mark it as a subject worthy of special study. The adverse view of some Christians, such as Dr. Charles Fuller and Joseph H. Cohn of the American Board of Missions to the Jews, toward …

The Pastor As Administrator Of Christian Education, Harold J. Elmer

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

We are living in one of history's most serious periods in a fast shrinking world where time and space are the essence. In time because of the great acceleration in the progress of science, in space because of a fast shrinking world that puts the nations elbows sharply one against another causing widespread disruption, confusion, diversion and aggression. Temporary expedients and the necessity to be first in the race in temporal importance has caused most Americans to forget their spiritual heritage and with new temptations and frustrations the.y either turn against all forms of religion to secularism and a materialistic …

The Relation Of Missionary Education To The Local Church, Katherine A. Melick

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Missions today are throbbing with interest. New fields of missionary endeavor are opening up every day, while a few long established fields are closing, or have already closed. Missionary doors are open today to every church which desires their inclusion. Missions made alive through the avenue of missionary education could be made the bloodstream through which life could flow into the heart of the local church, and make every artery, concomitant to every organization or phase of the church program, gain in strength thereby.

A Historical Study Of The Friends Doctrine Of Scripture, Dorothy E. Barratt

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There a.re various theological positions taken by modern day Friends. Some Friends are evangelical, others are theologically liberal. In analyzing this situation one of the major reasons proposed to explain the tendency toward liberalism is related to the Friends' basic view of objective authority in general and a view of Scripture in particular. The question arises as to whether the view of Scripture held traditionally by Quakers accounts necessarily for the tendency toward religious liberalism and whether the Friends' view is actually at variance with evangelical thought today or through the course of history. The investigation is concerned with determining …
