A Ransom For Many, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the ransom saying Jesus tells how the Church, the new people of God, is to be built by His death. Here, too, it becomes clear that the way which Jesus is going is diametrically opposed to the thinking and planning of the heart of man, that it brings with it an inversion of all accepted values. The Church is not a fruit upon the tree of history"; it is wholly and exclusively the creation of the Christ; it is God's deed.

Theological Issues At Evanston, F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The second assembly of the World Council of Churches will be held at Evanston, Ill., August 15-31, 1954. The 161 member churches will be represented by 600 official delegates, 600 accredited visitors, 150 theological consultants, 120 youth consultants, fraternal delegates, and official observers from nonmember churches. The Christian world is vitally interested in the Evanston assembly, because the chief concern of this gathering will be to agree on the "Christian message" which the member churches of the W. C. C. will proclaim to the world. This message comprises a main theme and six subthemes, which will receive intensive study in …

The Christian Response To Sickness, Kenneth R. Young

Bachelor of Divinity

Some of the questions this study attempts to answer include the following. What does God's Word teach concerning sickness? What is the cause and purpose of sickness? Is euthanasia right or wrong? Should the Church practice what is called faith-healing? Does God want the Church to act so as to prevent and treat sickness? How can the Church best minister to those who are sick? What is the task of a chaplain and how can he most successfully carry it out? How should the individual Christian respond to sickness when he is well? How ought a Christian respond to his …

Evaluation Of The Rsv On The Basis Of First Peter, Stephen R. Brusco Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

Thus it is evident that this version has caused considerable controversy and difference of opinion. Therefore thorough and objective study is needed to determine the adequacy of this version, to ascertain whether it is true and accurate to the spirit of the original Greek text, to see whether it measures up to the claims made for it by the committee and publishers, to investigate whether or not this new 'Version is usable in public worship and private devotions. The present study is an effort in this direction. It is an evaluation of the RSV on the basis of the First …

The Thought Of Stephen Toulmin And Some Theological Reflections, Kenneth Frese

Bachelor of Divinity

The five major works of Stephen Edelston Toulmin, currently professor of philosophy at Brandeis University, that will be treated in this paper are "Contemporary Scientific Mythology," An Examination of the Place of Reason in Ethics, Foresight and Understanding, The Philosophy of Science, and The Uses of Argument.? It will be my object to set forth the essentials of Toulmin's thought concerning first science and secondly extra-scientific endeavors, especially theology; to relate some of Mr. Toulmin's conclusions to those of two prominent exponents of "ordinary language" philosophy, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Gilbert Ryle; and finally to look at the work of a …

The Preaching Of The Gospel In Selected Lenten Sermon Series Of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Donald R. Miesner

Bachelor of Divinity

The thrust of this thesis is twofold in essence. It sets out to (1) determine what is contained in the preaching of the Gospel according to the New Testament; and, to (2) determine how Bishop Sheen’s Lenten preaching portrayed that New Testament kerygmatic pattern. The study further reveals that Sheen's Lenten preaching in many instances departs from and/or runs counter to the kerygmatic formulation.

The Babylon Of 1 Peter 5:13, Roy Schroeder

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem discussed in this paper is the second one: Where is Babylon? Three theories have been advanced: “Babylon" is: (1) Rome, (2) Babylon in Mesopotamia, and (3) Babylon on the Nile River in Egypt. Each of these theories is discussed in a separate chapter. The wording of 1 Pet. 5:13 does not make it mandatory to say that Peter was in Babylon, wherever it is, at the time he wrote his first epistle. This is particularly true if the Egyptian theory is accepted. The greetings from the church ·at Babylon could have come through Mark. However, the natural thing …

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.

Martin Luther's Concept Of The Devil, Lester Zeitler

Bachelor of Divinity

It must be kept in mind that this thesis does not propose to relate and discuss in great detail every minute phase of Luther's concept of the devil. Such a study would take several years, for thoughts concerning the devil permeated nearly every area of Luther's writings. The St. Louis edition of Luther's Works devotes nearly twenty-two columns to an index registering Luther's comments on the devil. This thesis then may be more properly called a general overview of Luther's demonology.

Dr Norman Vincent Peale's Concept Of Faith, Ronald G. Goerss

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of' this thesis is to examine the concept of faith as it is presented in the writings of Dr. Norman v. Peale. This chapter will include a critique of Dr. Peale's concept of faith. The body of this paper which follows will discuss Dr. Peale's background and general approach to religion, his definition of' faith, the means by which one comes into possession of this faith, and what the results and benefits of this faith are. The material presented is based on Dr. Peale's own writings, some of which have achieved best seller status. The writer of this …

An Analysis And Survey Of The Theology Of American Lutheranism Based Upon The Definite Platform Of Samuel Simon Schmucker, Norbert H. Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

The scope of this paper is to attempt to show the source of the theology of the movement, "American Lutheranism." Beyond that it does not pretend to make an exhaustive study of the field or related fields. It does show two things, however: first, that crossing denominational lines for fellowship involves a compromise with your own theology, often the sacrifice of truth on your part; second, that the theology of the movement was thoroughly Reformed and not Lutheran at all as Schmucker insisted it was. The paper further does ·not purpose to criticize unjustly, either Schmucker or the movement, but …

God In The Moderen Novel With Special Reference To The Young Christian Reader, Walter Riess

Bachelor of Divinity

The modern novel carries a potent message. The Church ought make no mistake about that. The time for ignoring the novelist and his novel is over. We shall either or find a means to deal with the novel, or we shall let our Church suffer from it. But we shall not ignore it longer. The baby has grown far beyond expected proportion, and the church has a problem on her hands.

The youth of the Church are not, of course, the only ones involved in this problem. But it.is the contention of the writer that they are the most susceptible …

The Relationship Between The Concept Of Charis And Santification In The Epistles Of Paul, Harold W. Scheibert

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is an attempt to find the correct New Testament relationship between this great indicative and this great imperative on the basis of St. Paul’s use of the Greek term, χάρις.

Principles For Winning Unchurched High School Youth For Christ, Raymond Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

Winning people for Christ includes, necessarily, these two main emphases: namely, evangelism and Christian Education. Those are the two emphases used both by the apostles and by the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod of our own day. To these two emphases must be added that of youth work in general. Thus, this study forms a synthesis of Christian education, evangelism, and youth work, and it is an attempt at outlining a program which will best answer the question, "How can the Church win the unchurched youth for Christ?"

Tertullian--His Life And Theology, Elmer Hethke

Bachelor of Divinity

With these considerations in minds we are ready to embark upon our study of his life and theology. First, this paper will consider his life and work as it affected the people of his day, his dealings with the heresies of his day, and his own heretical views. Then this paper will consider his theology, which will be done by a survey of the various loci in systematic theology.

The Psychological Interaction Between Speaker And Hearer As The Holy Spirit Works Through The Proclamation Of The Word, Norman Steffen

Bachelor of Divinity

This study seeks to treat the field of psychology as it explores speech and hearing. The subjects considered will be the participants in the preaching situation, pastor and congregation.

The Concept Of Faith And Hebrews 11:1, John R. Nielsen

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the writer, as he began this study, to determine upon the basis of 11:1 what the concept of faith according to Hebrews actually is. However, upon a study of the Epistle itself, we have come to the conclusion that this verse neither defines nor describes faith. Rather it sets forth the only way in which it is possible to have a firm foundation for hope. It makes the assertion that it is by faith that one can have a basis and foundation for eschatological blessings, and certainty in the unseen spiritual realm.
