A Comparative Analysis Of Juraj Chorvát's Veľká Partitúra And Joseph Kuchárik's Duchovná Citara With Special Attention To Slavic Hymn-Tunes, Samuel Boda

Bachelor of Divinity

It will be the purpose of this thesis to bring to light the outstanding characteristics of the Veĺká Partitúra through an examination of the times used; the popularity and worth of the tunes through the years, as witnessed by their inclusion in or exclusion from the various hymnbooks of the Slovak Lutheran Church, will be noted, special attention will be given to Slavic tunes, and a comparison will be made between the Veĺká Partitúra and the Duchovná Citara, noting distinctive changes and determining reasons for differences.

Relation Of The Common Service To The Roman Mass, Martin Louis Russert

Bachelor of Divinity

In this thesis, it is the purpose of the writer to show the relation of the Common Service to the Roman Mass. The Common Service is no doubt a derivative from the Roman Mass. When Luther set himself to the task of purifying the service which he found, he had to deal with the Roman Mass. Luther’s Formula Missae followed the Roman Mass quite faithfully in its main parts. The Roman Mass, however, did not spring up all at once. It was a gradual process. Although the Mass is almost the same as it was in the days of the …

The Concept Of Faith In Romans, Bernard Geerdes

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the object of the writer of this thesis to undertake that study. He makes no claim that this is an exhaustive study. However, we shall treat some of the chief aspects or faith which Paul deals with in Romans. And since Romans contains the core of the doctrine of Justification by Faith, we hope to have a representative view of the Biblical aspects of faith.

The Concept Of Suffering In The Philosophy Of Dostoyensky, Francis Carl Rossow

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose or this thesis is to describe Dostoyevsky's concept of suffering to point out the factors that gave rise to his concept, to compare his concept of suffering with the Christian viewpoint, and finally to show the value of Dostoyevsky' s concept of suffering to ·the world of today.

The Validity Of A Sociology Of Religion, Samuel Irven Goltermann

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is not to provide any of these. No attempt has been made to construct a valid and completely methodology, much less system, of the sociology of religion, either by primary research in, or observation of, the religious institutions and groupings, or by careful study or compilation of the theories and principles which have been advanced by other writers. Rather we have chosen to sample the literature of the field in an attempt to break down, plot out, and isolate into component elements many of the concepts which are with greater or lesser regularity used by …

The Concept Of Authority In The Persuasion Of Christ And St Paul, Robert A. Grunow

Bachelor of Divinity

It will be our purpose in this paper to review some of the more prominent concepts of persuasive authority found in churches today. We will then endeavor to present the Biblical concept of persuasive authority, as it is found in the New Testament, especially in the Gospels and in the life and writings of St. Paul.

The Philistines, Frederick Schumacher Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this study is to review the history of the Philistines, special emphasis being placed on their relation and influence on Israel.

The Groaning Creation- An Exegetical Study Of Romans 8:18-22, Walter James Bartling

Bachelor of Divinity

Though the title of our paper reads "The Groaning Creation", the purpose of our discussion will be, not so much to describe the nature of creation's groaning, but to ascertain the causes of the groaning (terminus & quo) with the special purpose of predicting and defining its end (terminus ad quem) on the basis of Rom. 8;18-22. It will be the story of sin and grace, death and life, damnation and redemption, paradise lost and paradise regained as this is reflected in the physical universe. Our chief interest, however, will be eschatological. How has God's saving activity affected nature? What …

Jesus Christ According To The Koran, John Gall

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

There are twenty-five passages in the Koran, the holy book of the Mohammedans, in which the name "Jesus" appears. When perusing these passages one cannot help but be struck by the question, "What were the Koran's sources? Where did Mohammed get his knowledge of Jesus?" To answer these questions accurately has been the ambition of Islamic scholars for many years.

The Beatitudes, Wilbur May

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The goal of this thesis is to obtain a deeper insight into the true meaning of the Beatitudes as spoken by Christ almost two thousand years ago. We are fully aware of the fact that words are merely symbols for thoughts. However, the words are the means by which we grasp the thoughts which the speaker wished to give us. Therefore, we feel that perhaps the ·best method to obtain this deeper insight is by examining the individual words which Christ used. The immediate purpose of this examination of the individual words is to understand the individual words with the …

Whether St. Luke Used The Gospel Of St. Paul In The Composition Of His Own, Otto Hintze Jr

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The many narratives of which Luke speaks have intrigued inquisitive minds no end. As a result, they have been the object of an enormous amount of research. What was the precise nature of these writings? Are they extant? Did Luke have them at his disposal and peruse them? Did he embody them in his Gospel in any way? Such are a few of the questions which arise out of the scanty information furnished by Luke's preface.

The Protestant Christian Church In The U.S.A. Meeting The Challenge Of Our Times Through Parish Evangelism, Ronald A. Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

Originally this study had been intended to take the form of a training course for lay evangelism. Upon further consideration and research it became evident that this would be putting both pastor and people into a rigid pattern that would not fit in all cases. The work of the church differs from place to place, and the way in which the church’s mission can be carried out will not always be the same. Therefore, this study will consider material pertinent to the forming of principles upon which the work is to be done and by which workers are to be …

Emil Brunner And His Idea Of Chrisitan Philosophy, Vernon Boriack

Bachelor of Divinity

By this method Christian revelation can maintain its station unblushingly and remain vital and valid for any scientific world view that future generations may evolve. Thus today, Emil Brunner - prolific writer, brilliant lecturer, stirring preacher - has taken his stand and is zealously striving to reinterpret, theologically and philosophically what he thinks Christianity must be made to mean for his community and for the whole world at large if the Church would endure.

The Doctrine Of The Humanity Of Christ According To The Epistle To The Hebrews, Carl Hiller

Bachelor of Divinity

To illustrate: if there are five passages that all bring out point "A" of the pre-determined outline of the doctrine, it is not necessary to treat all five passages just to show that point "A" is covered in the epistle. If this procedure seems somewhat arbitrary, we state again that the purpose of this thesis is merely to show how completely the doctrine of Christ's humanity has been revealed in the epistle to the Hebrews.

John Chrysostom, The Preacher, John H. Fritz

Concordia Theological Monthly

John Chrysostom - the name Chrysostom, the golden mouth, was given him by the Church because of his oratorical ability. He has been known by that name since the seventh century. He was born of noble parentage at Antioch, Syria, on the river Orontes, in 347 A. D. Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople, and Rome were outstanding cities in those days. Antioch was one of the most splendid cities in the Roman Empire. It had a population of two hundred thousand. Though half of the inhabitants were nominally Christians, their Christianity varied from severe asceticism to almost pagan laxity.

The Timeless God In Time, J. T. Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

God is the Eternal Timeless One. That is not simply a truism, or self-evident truth, but a doctrine positively taught in Holy Scripture. Because perverted man is definitely prone to design gods after his own imperfect, circumscribed image, in stupidly literal anthropomorphism and anthropopathism often ascribing to the infinite God finite forms and other human limitations, the Holy Scriptures with great emphasis assert again and again that the living God, the Creator of all things and the Redeemer of fallen mankind, is absolutely timeless.

A Royal Priesthood, 1 Pet. 2:9, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

If it were not a fact with which we have been familiar since childhood days, we should be amazed to see that the Christian Church began its course without an official class of priests. The opening chapters of Acts, which report the founding of the Church, give the Apostles a prominent place in the early stages. These men served as pastors and teachers; at first the duties of almoners were incumbent on them, too. Hence the Church had leadership, but it did not have priests. The Apostles did not lay claim to such a status. In Jerusalem and Palestine in …

Pastoral Psychology, C. A. Behnke

Concordia Theological Monthly

Writers on pastoral theology, such as our own Dr. Walther, regarded such ability as vital. He describes it, however, not only as "a God-given, practical aptitude of the soul," but also as one that is "acquired by certain means." (Fritz, Pastoral Theology, p. 1.) He, therefore, suggests that a theological student visit hospitals, in order to become better acquainted with the inner life of the sick and to master innate revulsion against disagreeable smells and sights.
