The Authenticity Of The Seven Words From The Cross, John Junke
The Authenticity Of The Seven Words From The Cross, John Junke
Bachelor of Divinity
In this paper I intend to give a critical analysis of the "Seven Words" which Christ spoke while on the cross. I will attempt through research chiefly to challenge or support the authenticity of each “Word" (hereafter the term "Word" will be used without quotation marks. When it is capitalized, it refers to one of the utterances which Christ made while on the cross. In some cases it will actually refer to only one word, as in John 19:30. In other cases it will refer to more than one word, as in Matthew 27:46.).
E. L. Mascall's Interpretation Of The Thomistic Doctrine Of Analogy In Relation To Charles Hartshorne's Doctrine Of Analogy And Religious Language, William Bersley
E. L. Mascall's Interpretation Of The Thomistic Doctrine Of Analogy In Relation To Charles Hartshorne's Doctrine Of Analogy And Religious Language, William Bersley
Bachelor of Divinity
This paper proposes to examine the logic of analogy as a form of religious discourse in the writings of Eric Lionel Mascall and Charles Hartshorne. The problem is to exhibit the response of these men to the question: In what way and to what degree is discourse about God analogical?
A Sachkritik Of First Corinthians 13 Authenticity And Integrity, John Hollar
A Sachkritik Of First Corinthians 13 Authenticity And Integrity, John Hollar
Bachelor of Divinity
The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians happens to be one of those documents of the early Christian community which was to become a subject of debate, sooner or later, for the form critical school of exegesis. Evidence for this issues from the fact that it was in 1910 when Johannes Weiss wrote what still remains as the classical form-critical analysis of First Corinthians. Then in1912 Adolf Harnack presented the second great contribution of scholarship concerning this chapter of agape, with his article "The Apostle Paul's Hymn of Love and Its Religious-Historical Significance." From this time on it almost …
Popular Religious Thought In Medieval England As Reflected In The Mystery Play Cycles Of York, Toweley, Coventry, And Chester, Kenneth Streufert
Popular Religious Thought In Medieval England As Reflected In The Mystery Play Cycles Of York, Toweley, Coventry, And Chester, Kenneth Streufert
Bachelor of Divinity
The particular plays that have been selected to form the basis for this study are especially well suited for this purpose. They are, first of all, plays which enjoyed a long popularity (from the early 1300’s to the late l500's). Consequently their validity as reflections or contemporary religious thinking is strengthened. In the second place, these particular plays were produced and performed, not by professional dramatists and actors, but by the ordinary people of England. And so their claim of being the reflection of the thoughts of the common people is also strengthened. In addition, since these plays are examples …
The Purpose Of The Parables According To Mark 4:10-12, Martin E. Marty
The Purpose Of The Parables According To Mark 4:10-12, Martin E. Marty
Bachelor of Divinity
According to the plan of this study, the question as to whether this Logion is an intercalation of later Church teaching within a catena of parabolic sayings is reserved for the final chapter. Yet it is fundamental to an understanding of the discussion as it progresses for the reader to be aware of the critical dismissal of this entire passage as a vaticinium post eventum, interpolated by the evangelist because of the frustration of the early Church as it propagated the message of the Christ.
The Working Syllabus On The Gospel Of St John, Richard Z. Meyer
The Working Syllabus On The Gospel Of St John, Richard Z. Meyer
Bachelor of Divinity
By careful analysis of certain terms used in the Gospel of John, one arrives at a deeper insight into the Gospel. I have made such an analysis but should like to have this analysis serve also a practical end. I have in mind the Bible class teacher who is charged with teaching the Gospel of John. For if the Bible class teacher has a grasp of the fundamental theological terms employed by John, it should not be too difficult for him to gather about these theological terms the materials of the Gospel as John presents them in his twenty-one chapters. …
The Person Of Christ In The Epistle To The Phillippians, Henry Hamann
The Person Of Christ In The Epistle To The Phillippians, Henry Hamann
Bachelor of Divinity
Any references to his theology that might come in by the way would, it might be argued with some soundness, be all the more valuable as being unpremeditated, quite natural and unforced, and, accordingly, completely sincere and reliable. As a matter of fact; there are a number of references to Jesus Christ and what Paul thought of Him, among them one of the fullest statements Paul ever made on the subject, Phil. 2:5-11, a passage introduced quite unexpectedly, but at the same time with a certain unmistakable solemnity. These passages are sufficient in number and scope to present all the …
The Internal Relationship, Linguistic And Theological, Between The Gospel Of John And The Epistles Of John, Marvin Kammrath
The Internal Relationship, Linguistic And Theological, Between The Gospel Of John And The Epistles Of John, Marvin Kammrath
Bachelor of Divinity
The intrinsic value of a paper such as the one here presented, lies not so much in the impression made by the finished product as in the profitable textual study which it entails. The task of digging deep into the language and theology of four books of the New Testament has been a pleasant one. In addition to the joy of working with the original Greek of the sacred New Testament, of making careful literal translations and thorough exegetical studies, there has been the added satisfaction of unfolding cumulative doctrinal evidence overwhelming in its depth and extent.
The Bearing Of The Theory Of Evolution Upon The Chrisitian Doctrine Of Man, Theodore Martin
The Bearing Of The Theory Of Evolution Upon The Chrisitian Doctrine Of Man, Theodore Martin
Bachelor of Divinity
Evolution is an attempt to explain present conditions. In reality it consists of a number of explanatory attempts, none of which are satisfactory. All involve change, a development of the simple into the complex. Evolution has been defined as a "change due to circumstances,” but this is only a part of the story. As it is generally understood, evolution means much more than this. It means a development in matter resulting from the action or forces resident in matter itself.
