Attitudes And Policies Of The Lutheran Church Toward The Negro, George Hans Liebenow
Attitudes And Policies Of The Lutheran Church Toward The Negro, George Hans Liebenow
Bachelor of Divinity
We believe that when Christian congregations make a distinction among people because of race and bypass Negroes in their program of saving souls a problem of moral theology is involved. Dr. o. P. Kretzmann, president of Valparaiso University, once offered the following steps to aid in solving a problem in moral theology, namely, first, there must be a hard cool appraisal of the situation as it is; secondly, we must turn to the New Testament and look at the divine will; thirdly, we must take the situation and the divine will and bring them together. In this paper we propose …
The History Of Lutheran City Missions In Saint Louis, John Paul Ellwanger
The History Of Lutheran City Missions In Saint Louis, John Paul Ellwanger
Bachelor of Divinity
As great men often disappear in the shadows of still greater men, so City Missions in St. Louis has lost the public spotlight to these other more brightly shining lights. It will be one of the purposes of this thesis to throw as much light as possible on the significance of Lutheran City Missions in Lutheran life in St. Louis during the first part of the twentieth century.
The Missionary Endeavors Of Marcus Whitman, Michael C. Trinklein
The Missionary Endeavors Of Marcus Whitman, Michael C. Trinklein
Bachelor of Divinity
It shall be the writer’s objectives to first of' all gather together, correlate, and evaluate all the possible important factors which could be termed causes for the massacre; and secondly, to try to determine how much of the responsibility for the failure of the mission can be laid directly to its leader, Dr. Marcus Whitman, who is usually exonerated completely from blame.
The Missionary Approach Of The Roman Catholic Church To The American Negro, Lester Messerschmidt
The Missionary Approach Of The Roman Catholic Church To The American Negro, Lester Messerschmidt
Bachelor of Divinity
Study of the mission strategy employed in achieving such a sizeable number of converts and the obstacles overcome in doing so constitutes the purpose of this paper. It is hoped that this study will aid in some small degree to implement our own missionary outreach to the Negro by pointing up missionary techniques and methods which can be profitably adopted or adapted to our own program, since many of the problems encountered by Roman Catholic missionaries must be faced by Lutheran missionaries, too.
The Life And Labors Of Eduard Raimund Baierlein, Walter P. Schoenfuhs
The Life And Labors Of Eduard Raimund Baierlein, Walter P. Schoenfuhs
Bachelor of Divinity
One cannot properly appreciate Baierlein's contributions unless one understands what has been accomplished before the missionary’s arrival. Thus, besides sketching his biography, the thesis will also discuss the early Christian missions among the Chippewa Indians in Michigan and the missionary activities in India before Baierlein's arrival. Particular emphasis will be devoted to Lutheran mission work in these countries.

A Comparison Of The Christian Doctrine Of Sin With That Of The Three Religions Of China, Leroy Hass
A Comparison Of The Christian Doctrine Of Sin With That Of The Three Religions Of China, Leroy Hass
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose in writing this thesis, however, is not to produce a lengthy dissertation on the Christian concept of sin; this has been done by many excellent Christian theologians. In the next few pages we shall simply reproduce the teachings of Dr. Franz Pieper and Dr. J. T. Mueller on this subject. Hence, very few proof passages or proofs of any kind are offered. It is our desire merely to review the chief points of the Christian concept of sin in order to prepare the reader for a more intelligent consideration of the topic.
The Qualifications For The Ministry As Outlined In I Timothy 3:1-7, Donald L. Deffner
The Qualifications For The Ministry As Outlined In I Timothy 3:1-7, Donald L. Deffner
Bachelor of Divinity
Thus, if we are the outcome and the expression of times and institutions surrounding us, we cannot hope for a ministry intelligently possessing self-knowledge or vitally correspondent with its environment, unless the qualifications for power are investigated relatively to contemporaneous institutions and prevailing conditions of thought. And it is in this spirit that we discuss the qualifications for the ministry as outlined in a selected portion of Scripture. For Scripture is the sole rule and norm in spiritual values; and Scripture's application is changeless and timeless.
The Missionary Looks At His Work In The Light Of St Paul's Letter To The Colossians, O H. Schmidt
The Missionary Looks At His Work In The Light Of St Paul's Letter To The Colossians, O H. Schmidt
Bachelor of Divinity
While this paper was written primarily with reference to foreign mission work it is obvious that the various practical directions and hints contained in this epistle are just as applicable to the work in the home mission field. After all, the principles are the same, and you work with the same materials, with the word or God and with human beings.
Geographical And Historical Factors To Be Considered For An Effective Misson Program In China, Donovan Bakalyar
Geographical And Historical Factors To Be Considered For An Effective Misson Program In China, Donovan Bakalyar
Bachelor of Divinity
As an aim, this paper purposes to extract from ·the geography and history of China factors which have an influence upon a missionary program in that country. A careful consideration of these factors will be helpful in acquiring the proper attitude or perspective for the missionary already before he enters the country. Much time will be saved, for everything will not be new when he begins his work, for he already will have a foundation upon which he can build.
Paul's Missionary Methods, Arthur Gerhardt
Paul's Missionary Methods, Arthur Gerhardt
Bachelor of Divinity
No attempt has been made to fathom the depths of the manifold problems concerning the facts of Paul’s biography. Questions of chronology and literary criticism ate avoided to give place to the purpose of our thesis. That Paul was called directly by God, that he was an inspired apostle, must not be overlooked. In this study, however, the historical facts pertaining to his mission endeavors will chiefly be stressed. The treatment is not intended to be more than suggestive.
A Criticism Of The Madras Conference From The Standpoint Of A Christian Believer, Wilbert Griesse
A Criticism Of The Madras Conference From The Standpoint Of A Christian Believer, Wilbert Griesse
Bachelor of Divinity
What a wonderful thing it would be if all the denominations could get together on a common ground and work together against ·the forces of sin and hell: What an impression that would make upon the world! Such a condition would greatly further the cause of missions. It was especially the younger churches that were crying for unity. The younger churches cannot understand the divisions and the multiplied organizations of the mother churches. If they are all Christian, why are they not united?

The Missionary Method Of Paul As Demonstrated In The Book Of Acts, William Graumann
The Missionary Method Of Paul As Demonstrated In The Book Of Acts, William Graumann
Bachelor of Divinity
This topic will be discussed under a survey of the passages in the Book of Acts, showing the direct reference to methods where that is possible, and pointing out the implications where the methods are not directly stated. In connection with this we wish to make applications to our own missionary methods, which we feel should not only increase our zeal for missions, but should enable us to bring the Gospel in a more effective way to more souls.
The Attitude Of The Lutheran Church Of The 16th And 17th Centuries Towards Missions, Herbert H. Umbach
The Attitude Of The Lutheran Church Of The 16th And 17th Centuries Towards Missions, Herbert H. Umbach
Bachelor of Divinity
In this thesis it shall be our aim to see on the basis of the facts at hand what really was the sentiment of the 16th and l7th. century Lutheran Church as regards the sphere of missions. And of course, in the treatment of a subject like this, aiming at a presentation of historic facts, there is but little room for originality. I have not, therefore, sought so much to be original as to be truthful, and have endeavored to gather from every accessible source all such historic data as tended to establish the object in view. The old principle …
Modern Protestant Missions Before Carey, Lorenz C. Wunderlich
Modern Protestant Missions Before Carey, Lorenz C. Wunderlich
Bachelor of Divinity
The church of Jesus Christ is essentially a missionary organization. She is the product of missionary effort, her progress depends on evangelising endeavors. The very existence of the Church calls for mission, her self-preservation demands it. Missionary enterprise, however, is not the device of man, it is God's thought, plan, and work; it is as old as the eternal counsels of God regarding the salvation of mankind.
