A Refutation Of Modern Higher Critical Arguments Against The Authenticity Of The Davidic Psalms, W C. Koester May 1936

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 …


An Investigation Of Molech And Recent Theories Concerning The Term, Herbert C. Albrecht May 1936

An Investigation Of Molech And Recent Theories Concerning The Term, Herbert C. Albrecht

Bachelor of Divinity

The influence of mechanistic, materialistic science, through Evolutionism, has in recent centuries shaped men's theories regarding the origin and development of the religions of mankind. Since the universe was conceived to be the direct result of vast eras of development by a simple process of cause and effect, it had to follow that religion was also an outgrowth of the same lines of cause and effect. Deistic speculation, indeed, made God the primal cause of this development, insofar as he set the universe in motion, leaving it to evolve in its own way, but Deism thought of religion as being …


The Resumption Of Protestantism Under Queen Elizabeth, A O. Gebauer May 1936

The Resumption Of Protestantism Under Queen Elizabeth, A O. Gebauer

Bachelor of Divinity

The subject which we are about to discuss is of vital interest to the student of English Church History. If it is important for him to know the early phases and developments of that history reaching down into the Roman period of English History; if it is necessary for him to observe the tendencies, persuasions, and movements during the subsequent centuries; then it is truly essential for him to be acquainted with the lace-work of causes, events, and personalities out of which grew the pattern known to us as the Anglican Church.


The Use Of ΧάΡιε In The Pauline Epistles, Walter W. Stuenkel Apr 1936

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 Apr 1936

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.


A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann Apr 1936

A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann

Bachelor of Divinity

Of all the conflicts which Christianity passed through in the early stages of its history, that with philosophy seems to have been the most severe and the most far-reaching in its effects. Judaism was firm and self-reliant, because it was in a sense supernatural; Gentilism was pliable, because it was ignorant and weary of itself; but philosophy was obstinate, because, regarding religions as superstitions, it recognized no special merit in Christianity, and attempted to ridicule it out of existence when its unprepared defenders first announced it. With the representatives of the Epicurean, Stoic and New Academic schools, or with the …
