Pre-Darwinian Interpretations Of The Concepts Of The Origin Of Life, Variation, And Survival Of Characters, Daniel Deblock Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

The individual developments of the concepts of the origin of life, variation; and survival of characters have given birth to many theories of organic evolution. Moreover, these concepts, as they were extant in the first half of the eighteenth century, greatly influenced Charles Darwin, whose “Origin of Species” greatly popularized and gave new life to evolutionistic speculations. Since Darwin’s day organic evolution has gained in popularity until the term has become a common word to countless numbers of people, and until millions of people believe in a theory of evolution in one form or another. Hence, it is important, that …

The Concept Of Doxa Chiefly In The Gospel Of St. John, Herman Charles Waejten

Bachelor of Divinity

This is a feeble attempt to expose some of John's leading thoughts and ideas, so that both the writer of this thesis and the readers might be led into a fuller and richer understanding of the Gospel and its purpose.

The Relation Of The Unio Mystica To The Corpus Doctrinae, Herbert Kretzmann

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the purpose of this paper to consider the relation or the unio mystica to the body of Christian doctrine. We will note first of all how so many well-meaning people have practiced all sorts of mystical exercises which they believed would obtain and strengthen their union with God. Many have believed and taught this doctrine as the basis of man's justification, saying that "faith justifies … as the germ of renewal, or as the means or ingrafting into the new humanity. Others seem to overlook this doctrine altogether, in spite of the fact that the unio mystica has …

A Descriptive Study Of The Methods Of Argumentation Employed By The Writers Of The New Testament, Waldemar Streufert

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

At the very outset I wish to state, as a basic assumption, that l hold to the divine origin of the Holy Scripture, pointed to by Paul in 2 Tim. 3:16. My conviction is that on account of this origin the apostolic writings are true and reliable in everything they say. When I discuss the methods of argumentation in the New Testament, that is not meant to throw doubt on the position of the Lutheran Church that these writings come from the eternal and infallible mind or God, and. are the product of divine inspiration.

Leiturgia-An Opus Magnum In The Making, Walter E. Buszin

Concordia Theological Monthly

The liturgical revival which is wending its way through the churches of Christendom today has made its influence felt also within the Lutheran Church. This movement is not chiefly a seeking after forms and ceremonies, nor is it merely a reaction against irreverent and amorphous worship practices. While excesses are to be noted within the movement, it is hardly just and fair to regard these as inevitable and essential earmarks of this liturgical revival, since revivals and movements in areas other than the liturgical likewise suffer because of the intemperate endeavors of a zealotistic minority.

Brief Exegesis Of 2 Thess. 2:1-12 With Guideline For The Application Of The Prophecy Contained Therein, Henry Hamann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The two different quotations from two different scholars at the beginning of this article show very clearly, each in its own way, the spirit and the frame of mind with which the problem of Antichrist should be studied. The first is from an article on Antichrist in Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics. [The doctrine that the Pope was the Antichrist] came to be more and more only learned pedantry, and the belief no longer possessed the power of forming history. With this last phase the interest in the legend entirely disappeared, and it [the legend of Antichrist) was now …

The Educational Ideas And Methods Of The Brethren Of The Common Life, Clifford H. Peterson

Bachelor of Divinity

The background to the educational work of the Brethren in this study included: the medieval school, the rise of public-controlled education, and the mystical movements in northern Europe during the late medieval period. It is against this background that the philosophy and work of the founder of the Brethren, Gerard Groote and the life and educational work among the Brethren are seen in the perspective of their times. The aims and reforms of two of their outstanding schools, those of John Cele and Alexander Hegius, also compliment this educational picture. As a result, the scope of this study might be …

The Conversion Of St. Paul As Reflected By Paul's Usage Of Charis, Marvin Middendorf

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the first word of greeting and the last word of farewell in Paul's letters. For Paul, Charis includes the sum of all blessings that come from God through Christ. Grace is for Paul the beginning and the end; the Alpha and the Omega. Robertson says in his “Word Pictures of the New Testament”, “Perhaps no word carries more meaning for St. Paul's message than this word."

The Metaphysical Bases Of The Doctrine Of God In Aquinas And Augustine, Donald P. Meyer

Bachelor of Divinity

Most basically this thesis is concerned with the problem of schism. It attempts to discover the nature of the opposition between two theologies. Schisms based on statements interpreted grammatically are tragically naïve, on personalities idolatrous. It is theology and the practical consequences of theology which alone can justify schism. And to discover the opposition between theologies requires an analysis of the basis of the statement of that theology.

Incarnation And The Lord's Supper In Luther, Norman Nagel

Bachelor of Divinity

It will be the attempt of this paper to set forth some of the aspects of the parallel between God's dealing with us in Christ and Christ’s dealing with us in His Supper as grasped and expressed by Luther; especially in the controversies concerning the Lord's Supper in the 1520’s. The references are given, with a few Erlangener Ausgabe exceptions, from the Weimarer Ausgabe.

Kierkegaard's Critique Of Hegelian Idealism, Curtis E. Huber

Bachelor of Divinity

The philosophical approach of SØren Kierkegaard has for many years been recognized as one of the outstanding attempts within the Lutheran Church to construct and formulate a Christian philosophy. For this reason alone, there is sufficient merit in almost any examination of his works. This study, however, proposes to examine not exclusively the work of Kierkegaard, but also the background of radical rationalism against; which .he and his theistic existential view was set.

The Eighth Century Prophets - Opinion Of Cultus, Carl Graesser Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the purpose of this essay to study the various interpretations of the three eighth-century prophets, Amos, Hosea, Micah, in an effort to determine their attitude ·toward cultus. In particular the present study will direct itself to the question, “Did these men advocate the complete abolition of sacrifice?” This will of necessity include a consideration of the extent to which each prophet made his position clear. In certain areas the prophets have spoken clearly, in others their attitudes may be inferred. On some points it appears that no tenable conclusions can be drawn.

The Meaning Of The Epiphany Season Of The Church Year, John H. Tietjen

Bachelor of Divinity

To determine the meaning of the Epiphany Season, I undertook a study of the seasons history, propers, and customs. A study of the history of the season was necessary to understand the factors that produced the present meaning of the season. A. study of the propers of the season was necessary to reveal what the season actually means in the present life of the Church. A study of' the customs of the season was necessary to determine how the Season’s meaning is reflected and augmented by the piety of the people. And so, in presenting the meaning of the Epiphany …
