The Doctrine Of The Resurrection In The Old Testament, William E. Meyer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The doctrine of the resurrection-, of the body is fundamental to the Christian faith. It is so closely linked to all articles of our religion that if robbed from its setting our whole system of Christian doctrine would become a purposeless aimless jumble of strange notions. This doctrine permeates the whole Christian conception of the divine plan of salvation, supplying it with a purpose. What Dorner says of Israel that “it has the idea of teleology as a kind of a soul” applies to the Christian religion. The final purpose of every act of God is the salvation of mankind. …

Hellenism And Christianity, Philip Albrecht

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this thesis is to show the relation of Hellenism to Christianity. It will deal especially with the action and influence of the one upon the other in the Apostolic Age. It would he hardly possible that two such great movements as Hellenism and Christianity could exist at the same time without affecting one another.

The Prophetic Office In Israel, Alfred Ottomar Fuerbringer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

My purpose is altogether different, namely, to go through the entire history of God’s chosen people of the Old Covenant as far as it is recorded in the Biblical books, to find out what is told us about the office of a prophet in Israel, and to describe the essence of the office, the man who filled it, and the manner in which he carried out the duties imposed upon him.

The Doctrinal Content Of Isaiah's Prophesy, Fred Kramer

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to show how much doctrine the Prophesy of Isaiah contains. The result of my studies shows that, with the exception of the doctrine of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, every important doctrine of the Bible is found more or less complete in this wonderful book. Proof of this statement may be had in the thesis itself.

The Reformed Arguments Against The Real Presence Of The Body And Blood Of Christ In The Lord's Supper Examined In The Light Of The Main Modern Philosophical System Since Locke, Walter C. Daib

Bachelor of Divinity

It the same line of reasoning were followed out to its bitter consequence, it would leave us without any supernatural facts in religion. But it is by a “happy” inconsistency that the Reformed theologians, at least those of the conservative school, have restricted reason as a norm of doctrine to the narrow sphere or Christology and the Sacraments. It is chiefly here that they have made use of the arguments from possibility and reasonability. It is these arguments from reason that we wish to examine.

A Critique Of Goodspeed's Translation Of The Gospels, Arthur F. Fergin

Bachelor of Divinity

In the execution of this treatise the translation of Goodspeed will be studied on the basis of the original Greek text. The critique will thus seek to establish whether the translation is true to the original. Since no other translation has till now successfully supplanted the Authorized Version, the later will be used in establishing the conclusions reached in this thesis. It is necessary to state at the outset, however, that such a procedure will not in all cases be fair to the translation of Goodspeed. Goodspeed has a better equipment in the way of an authoritative text and grammatical …

Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Eric C. Malte

Bachelor of Divinity

Is it true that the union which is advocated by this coming conference is based on God's ideal? Placing the basis of the proposed union along side of the basis laid down in the Bible, we find that the former is based on man's conception and is in direct conflict with many clear passages of Scripture. Nothing is more emphatically taught and stressed in the Bible then that church-fellowship must always, and in all places, be preceded by unity in the spirit, unity in doctrine. We learn this from such passages as Rom.16,17; Eph. 4,3-6 , 13, and many similar …

A Presentation And Critique Of The Roman, Reformed, And Lutheran Doctrine If The Lord's Supper-, Clarence Peters

Bachelor of Divinity

In his first epistle to Timothy Paul writes: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy." The Holy Spirit who transmits the divine revelation, was especially active in the early days of the Christian Church. In this case the Spirit had expressly declared that there would be a falling away from the truth in times to come. Men would actually apostatize from the faith, would teach and preach in direct opposition to the sound doctrine of the Gospel. How …

Conscience Its Nature And Function, Richard R. Caemmerer

Bachelor of Divinity

The subject as stated in itself excludes the problem of the origin of conscience, a large field especially in phylogenetic theories (theories of remorse, origin of duty, origin of the good); it excludes the practical aspects and applications of the doctrines of conscience (systems of casuistry; social sphere of conscience; freedom of conscience). The subject has been-further limited, a procedure demanded by considerations of time and space, by a particular viewpoint applied to this discussion. The viewpoint permits formulation in the shape of a statement of the problem, namely: To determine the validity of the term "conscience" as an ethical …

Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Theodore Moeller

Bachelor of Divinity

The tendency of Protestantism to split up into various sects has not infrequently been noted and variously explained. Roman Catholics, especially, make the most of this situation and point with pride to the unity of their church. “If once you permit individual judgment to be pitted against authority all the followers of the revolter will, in turn, claim the same privilege against him. The result is obvious. Even before the revolting church had made its position secure against the church of Rome disunion and separatism had come into its ranks. "This condition has often been deplored and the cry of …

The Gift Of Tongues According To The Bible. An Investigation., Frederick F. Breuer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this paper is to prove, by basing all exposition and proof upon pertinent Scriptural references, that the gift of tongues, spoken of in the Bible, is, in every case, the gift of foreign languages.

Religious Experience In The Light Of Current Psychology., Elwyn Judson Trueblood 1896-1963

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Psychology is receiving a new emphasis in the modern age. The subject of human consciousness, always fascinating, is now claiming our attention as never before. When we endeavor to link psychology with religion, the charm is greatly increased; for then we are dealing with two themes, rather than one, in which mankind has an abiding interest -- the human consciousness and the human soul. Thus, the psychology of religion has grown to be one of the most popular studies of our generation. Indeed, an eminent authority in this field ventures the opinion that the theoretical as well as the practical …

The Function Of The Priest And Of The Prophet In The Propatation Of Religion, Charles Ernest Davis

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

As one peers across the vistas of the past two types of holy men stand out with striking prominence and significance. The advance of religious thought and life has largely been due to the activities and contributions of these two, the priest and the prophet.

It has been the purpose of this research to seek to discover the particular functions of each of these, to show their correlation in producing religious advance, and to make certain suggestions as to how the values each has to contribute to the program of the modern Christian church may be more adequately realized.

Reason And Christian Faith, Daniel Coyner

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The attempt to present a somewhat different point of new is the only excuse that may be offered for another treatment of the relation of reason to Christian faith. The peculiarity of the following discussion will be its assumption that Christianity is the true religion. It is in no sense a study of the philosophy of religion, which begins, for purposes of argument, with the notion that all religions are of equal merit. Nor is it similar to the prefatory remarks on the relation of reason to religious truth which are commonly found in the books on the philosophy of …

Personality And God, James B. Gilroy

Bachelors’ Theses

Science, in its rapid strides forward, has been disproving old theories, challenging old ideas and branding anyone who clings to dualism and God as a 'back number'. The scientist, working with materials that fall under the perception of the senses and puzzling with problems that may be stated in mathematical equations, has tried to deal with all things under the microscope and with equations. Anything that he found himself unable to perceive and deal with through his powers of sensation ne has declared does not exist. To him everything is hard, material substance; man is no more than a mechanism …

Critique Of Moffatt's Translation Of Matthew And Mark, Martin P. Simon

Bachelor of Divinity

On the principle of the open Bible Christians, if consistent, must welcome an improved translation, and the only issue must center on the question of improvement or lack of improvement. We cannot consistently condemn in Weymouth what we praise in Luther, nor censure Goodspeed for following in the footsteps of Tyndale and James’ theologians. And if a pastor for no sufficient reason withholds from his people a translation better than the current, is he not robbing them of part of their birthright? If more translations means better translations, by all means let us have more or them, at least for …
