Horace Bushnell's Moral Influence Theory Of The Atonement, Arlin A. Holtz Jun 1948

Horace Bushnell's Moral Influence Theory Of The Atonement, Arlin A. Holtz

Bachelor of Divinity

In the present treatise, it will be our purpose to examine Bushnell’s Moral Influence theory, and observe how the liberal and rationalistic tendencies are reflected in it. Special attention will be given to those teachings which contain error and are closely connected with the Moral Influence view, for example, his teaching on the Trinity, the person of Christ, imputed righteousness, faith, etc. It is our purpose, therefore to present a clear analysis of Bushnell’s theory including the reason for its development and the subsequent implications for modern theology.


Principal Sects Of Islam: Their Orgin And Beliefs, John Gall May 1948

Principal Sects Of Islam: Their Orgin And Beliefs, John Gall

Bachelor of Divinity

The number of sects, however, far exceeds the number that Mohammed predicted. Some Moslem scholars have prepared lists of the sects of Mohammedanism so that they number exactly seventy-three. But they are hard pressed to scale the actual number down to that sum. Actually, the sects of Islam outnumber the Christian sects. Sheikh Abdul Kader stated that there were one hundred and fifty Mohammedan sects. Most of these believe that of all the sects only they have the correct way of salvation. There is much hatred, bloodshed and bitterness among them.


An Examination Of The Philosophy, Theology, And Healing Of Christian Science, Erwin J. Kolb May 1948

An Examination Of The Philosophy, Theology, And Healing Of Christian Science, Erwin J. Kolb

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is to present objectively the basic philosophy of Christian Science, to view its stand toward Christian doctrine, and to .examine the possibility of its alleged cures.


Rome's Doctrine Of Justification, A J. Schauer May 1948

Rome's Doctrine Of Justification, A J. Schauer

Bachelor of Divinity

This brings us to the queston: Is the Roman Catholic or The Lutheran teaching the true Biblical doctrine of justification as it was once proclaimed by Jesus and His apostles? Or have both church bodies veered from divine truth? To answer these questions objectively is the main purpose of this thesis.


C S Lewis- His Method And Message, Paul W. Harms May 1948

C S Lewis- His Method And Message, Paul W. Harms

Bachelor of Divinity

Mr. Lewis’s real Job is being a don in the Honour School of English Language and Literature, a Tutor and Fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford, a position he has held since 1925. Bitterest opponents of his bearing a torch for Christianity say that his work in the field of literary criticism is unsurpassed. His works in this field include, “The Allegory of Love”, “Rehabilitation”, “The Personal Heresy”, and “Preface To 'Paradise Lost’”. In the field of social theory he has written “The Abolition of Man”. In this thesis we shall concern ourselves only with the theological writings of Mr. Lewis.


The Theology Of Dwight L Moody, Howard Kramer May 1948

The Theology Of Dwight L Moody, Howard Kramer

Bachelor of Divinity

Dwight L. Moody, with only a district school education, without a church or society behind him to support him, without any of the recognized graces of oratory, spoke to an estimated one hundred million, and converted an estimated one million souls. He established more permanent centers of religious activity than any preacher of his day. Hence, it is certainly fitting that we examine critically the theology of so influential a man. We intend to determine how closely, and in what fields, he adheres to Scripture teaching, and, on the basis of our observations, place him in the Fundamentalist fold. As …


Discourse Of Luther On The Holy Trinity, W. Arndt May 1948

Discourse Of Luther On The Holy Trinity, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

This discourse is taken from a two-volume collection of sermons of Luther which has the title: Predigten D. Martin Luthers auf Grund von Nachschriften Georg Roerers und Anton Lauterbachs, bearbeitet von Geog Buchwald. The volumes appeared in 1925 and 1926, respectively, in the publishing house of C. Bertelsmann, Guetersloh. In the fascinating introduction Dr. Buchwald, an eminent Luther scholar, points out that the sermons of Luther published in the old editions of the Heuspostille are unsatisfactory on account of the editing process to which they were subjected. As is well known, they were not written by Luther; the notes of …


Rhetoric In The New Testament, W. A. Jennrich May 1948

Rhetoric In The New Testament, W. A. Jennrich

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is a most natural and yet striking fact that the New Testament originally was written in Greek. This is striking because the literature of the Greek New Testament had its origin in a Hebrew background; it is natural because the Greek language was the Weltsprache in the century that gave birth to the New Testament.


The Spoken Word In Luther's Theology (1528-1532), George Weller May 1948

The Spoken Word In Luther's Theology (1528-1532), George Weller

Bachelor of Divinity

The present study is concerned with the nature of these as they find expression in the words of Martin Luther. We are restricting ourselves to only a portion of the first: to the Word, i.e., the Gospel. A study of the Sacraments would lead the study on to many tangents unrelated to our immediate concern. Furthermore, the genius of Lutheranism has often been identified as a Theology of the Word: it is in the sphere of a Word-principle, then, that Lutheranism’s own view should appear in its clearest expression. The Word as a means of Grace and its relation to …


The Sacerdotal Prayer An Exegetico-Doctrinal Study, Wesley J. Kuhn May 1948

The Sacerdotal Prayer An Exegetico-Doctrinal Study, Wesley J. Kuhn

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to make a reasonably thorough exegetical and doctrinal study of the Sacerdotal Prayer.

Jesus Christ According To The Koran, John Gall May 1948

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 Protestant Christian Church In The U.S.A. Meeting The Challenge Of Our Times Through Parish Evangelism, Ronald A. Mueller Apr 1948

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 Apr 1948

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 Apr 1948

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.


The Timeless God In Time, J. T. Mueller Apr 1948

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 Apr 1948

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 …

The Ethics Of Jesus, Alfred M. Rehwinkel Mar 1948

The Ethics Of Jesus, Alfred M. Rehwinkel

Concordia Theological Monthly

The heart and center of the Christian Gospel is Jesus and His atonement. “God made Him sin for us who knew no sin." "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself" That is the essence of the Gospel according to St. Paul and all the other New Testament writers. Any attempt to change or modify this truth means to distort the Gospel and to dishonor Christ.

New Testament Light On Old Testament ''Millennialistic" Prophecies, Walter H. Koenig Feb 1948

New Testament Light On Old Testament ''Millennialistic" Prophecies, Walter H. Koenig

Concordia Theological Monthly

Some months ago, it happened that I came to grips with an ardent disciple of Premillennialism. To meet the man's arguments, I was driven to the Bible, as I found very little help outside of it. Especially on one point did I wish clarity: How does the Holy Ghost in the New Testament apply prophetic passages which millennialists interpret literally but which we interpret spiritually? What is the basis of our spiritual interpretation of Old Testament prophecy? My paper is intended to draw out the meaning of Scripture - and it will offer an example of one of the prime …


The Term "Fear God" In The Old Testament, H. O. Keinath Feb 1948

The Term "Fear God" In The Old Testament, H. O. Keinath

Concordia Theological Monthly

The words "fear," "fearful," "fearfulness," occur rather frequently in the Bible. It would be a mistake to assume, however, that each "fear" of the King James Version is a translation of the same Hebrew word. In the Old Testament we find that no less than seventeen Hebrew words of different roots are at some time or other rendered by "fear," "fearfulness," etc., in the Authorized Version.
