The Effect Of The Trend Toward Religious Schools On Public Schools, Clarence Peters May 1949

The Effect Of The Trend Toward Religious Schools On Public Schools, Clarence Peters

Concordia Theological Monthly

Before investigating the topic before us, it may be well for us to inquire· into the reason why some churches maintain their own schools. The reason is not that they do not appreciate the public school or the advantages which these tax-supported schools have brought to the people of America.


Johann Lorenz Mosheim's Philosophy Of History, Lewis Spitz Jr. May 1949

Johann Lorenz Mosheim's Philosophy Of History, Lewis Spitz Jr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

History as record and interpretation, just as history as past actuality, has been in constant change. Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in. illis is the inexorable law of life and of living academic disciplines as well. The history of historiography powerfully demonstrates the truism that each generation writes its own history. As the world view of humanity changes, the new criteria of evaluating the human story necessitates a reworking of the history of the past.


Sermon Study Of Isaiah 28:23-29, Walter R. Roehrs May 1949

Sermon Study Of Isaiah 28:23-29, Walter R. Roehrs

Concordia Theological Monthly

"All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake He not unto them" (Matt. 13:34). He used "earthly stories with heavenly meaning” that have no equal. "Never man spake like this Man” (John 7:46), because “He taught them as One having authority and not as the scribes” (Matt. 7:29). But holy men, moved by the Holy Ghost, also used this teaching device with telling effect. The Old Testament parables are perhaps not so well known. They commend themselves for pulpit use because they present familiar lessons in a different setting. The pastor may want …

The Epistemology Of Kierkegaard And Its Relation To Dogmatic Theology, Clifford L. Brueggemann May 1949

The Epistemology Of Kierkegaard And Its Relation To Dogmatic Theology, Clifford L. Brueggemann

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the presentation and analysis of this epistemological viewpoint to which this paper is dedicated. What does it mean to know the truth, the Christian truth? How is this truth apprehended? What are the implications of this position for Christian dogmatics? The scope of this paper therefore is broad, too broad, really for adequate treatment in a thesis of this size. The paper does, however, try to cover the more obvious phases of this problem, and also to present as much of the background of the problem and of the man as is necessary to gain a reliable insight …


St Paul's Use Of Military Terms In His Epistles, Robert A. Hobus May 1949

St Paul's Use Of Military Terms In His Epistles, Robert A. Hobus

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is not to show how Paul was influenced by the Gentile world into which he was born. The writer will not try to point out how the, intellectualism of· the Greeks and the materialism of the Romans influenced Paul in his theology. It will be taken as a positive premise in this thesis that Paul's theology was of divine origin, that his words were inspired words, that his teachings were from God instead of being a mixture of the best thoughts or philosophies that either of these civilizations produced. The fact that Paul was born …


Techniques From The Secular Fields Of Counseling And Psychotherapy Pertinen To Pastoral Care, Harold Irwin Haas May 1949

Techniques From The Secular Fields Of Counseling And Psychotherapy Pertinen To Pastoral Care, Harold Irwin Haas

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the purpose of the author to point out the theories and techniques from the secular fields of counseling and psychotherapy which seem to be pertinent to pastoral care. The author feels that psychological counseling has already reached a point where the ministry can no longer afford to ignore it. This paper, then, is an attempt to sustematize some of the better thinking which has been done in the field. It is the author’s hope that he may make some small contribution to the field of practical theology by passing on the results of his own investigation in this …


The Concept Of God In Chrisitian Science, George R. Kraus May 1949

The Concept Of God In Chrisitian Science, George R. Kraus

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose or this paper is, first, to examine Mrs. Eddy's concept in the light of Scripture and to prove that her concept of God is not Scriptural. In this connection it will be necessary to show how Mrs. Eddy uses Scripture passages in a metaphysical and even perverted manner to substantiate her claims. Secondly, we shall compare her concept of God with those or other religious and philosophic systems and demonstrate the falsity of her claim that her concept of of God is unique.


An Outline Of Symbolism In The Bible, Paul E. Schuessler May 1949

An Outline Of Symbolism In The Bible, Paul E. Schuessler

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis proposes an outline for study in Biblical symbolism by 1) submitting a definition of the subject, its Biblical warrants, and revealing its opportunities for employment; and 2) submitting a workable outline for further analytical study.


The Urban Church In A Transition Community, Vernon Roy Schreiber May 1949

The Urban Church In A Transition Community, Vernon Roy Schreiber

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of an urban community which is in the process of changing status upon the life of' a church in that community. To proceed in this study it was first necessary to establish the presence of distinguishable communities in an urban setting and to determine the pattern of change which might be present in such communities. However, before the role of the church in such communities could be examined, the writer felt it necessary to present a brief and admittedly incomplete study of urban social forces upon the individual. This procedure …


Radio Biblical Drama, Darrell Duane Helmers May 1949

Radio Biblical Drama, Darrell Duane Helmers

Bachelor of Divinity

This study is concerned with only one phase of the Church’s use of radio, Radio Biblical Drama. By this is meant simply the dramatization of Bible Stories (episodes from the Bible), and the expansion of individual Biblical Texts. This study will not include the strictly moral or ethical stories which are based on Biblical principles, but only those stories which have their foundation in Christ as the Savior from sin and the Author of the New Life.


Ministering To Those In Stress, Edward J. Mahnke May 1949

Ministering To Those In Stress, Edward J. Mahnke

Bachelor of Divinity

In this paper we are limiting the area to those whose inner tensions and conflicts resulting from original and actual sins which are disturbing their relationship to God, either consciously or unconsciously, whether they seek out or are sought by the pastor.


An Examination Of Osiander's Imago Dei In Its Relation To Justification, Ralph Frederick Fischer May 1949

An Examination Of Osiander's Imago Dei In Its Relation To Justification, Ralph Frederick Fischer

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem - Does Osiander teach Justification as a process which makes man righteous., or does he teach Justification as a forensic act?


The Concept Of The Kingdom Of God In Paul's Epistles, E H. Wildgrube Jr May 1949

The Concept Of The Kingdom Of God In Paul's Epistles, E H. Wildgrube Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

Unlike the English concept it includes the idea of reign. Many scholars hold that at the basis of the concept or basileia lies the idea of the Old Testament theocracy, in which God ruled over His people. This particular concept of the theocracy of the Old Testament is brought to the surface in I Samuel 8,7: "And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them."


The New Testament Concept Of The Personal Devil, John David Fritz May 1949

The New Testament Concept Of The Personal Devil, John David Fritz

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the writer’s intention to show on the basis of the New Testament that our Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles and evangelists of the New Testament conceived the devil to be a very personal enemy of Our Lord Himself and of the communion of saints, His Church.


The Doctrine Of The Humanity Of Christ According To The Epistle To The Hebrews, Carl Miller May 1949

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

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 Evangelistic Methods Of Dwight L. Moody, Richard F. Wagner May 1949

The Evangelistic Methods Of Dwight L. Moody, Richard F. Wagner

Bachelor of Divinity

There is always a human side to every spiritual movement. It shall be the purpose of this thesis to discover the human side of Dwight L. Moody in relation to the methods which he used in his evangelistic activity. The word "evangelistic" in this thesis title means: that which pertains to winning others “to Christian discipleship”. The word “method” means: the devices, plans, procedures which are used in the dissemination of the Gospel; therefore, this thesis will concern itself with devices, plans, and procedures which were used by Dwight L. Moody to win others to Christian discipleship.


The Pneuma In Luke-Acts, Ruben C. Baerwald May 1949

The Pneuma In Luke-Acts, Ruben C. Baerwald

Bachelor of Divinity

The chief concern of this investigation will be the meaning and use of πνε̂υμχ in Luke-Acts. We shall discuss the term on the basis of all the relevant passages in order to determine the sense or senses in which Luke uses it and then proceed to a consideration of some of the larger problems connected with the concept.


The Social Ethics Of St Paul With Implications For Marriage And The Family, Walter Fisher May 1949

The Social Ethics Of St Paul With Implications For Marriage And The Family, Walter Fisher

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In this paper it is our intention to confine ourselves to a treatment of St. Paul’s social ethics. He has a great deal to say on this subject. We shall first of all develop the principles of his social message in general, and then confine ourselves to the implications of these principles for the basic social institution as we see what he has to say about marriage and the family.


The Brethren Of The Lord And Their Relation To Jesus, Norman Wangerin May 1949

The Brethren Of The Lord And Their Relation To Jesus, Norman Wangerin

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It is my purpose to examine these various hypotheses in the light of tradition and Scripture. Thus the theories themselves will first be discussed briefly. Next they will be examined on the basis of the references to this problem in the literature of the early Church. Finally, the Scripture passages which have a bearing on the subject will be taken up. The correct interpretation of these passages is after all the real key to the problem.


The Adaptaton Of Monasticism To Meet The Exigencies Of The Times, George Robbert May 1949

The Adaptaton Of Monasticism To Meet The Exigencies Of The Times, George Robbert

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

We have all heard of the various Orders in the Catholic Church such as the Benedictines, Franciscans, Dominicans, Society of Jesus, Knight Templars and Knights Hospitalers. How and why did they originate? What brought them into existence? These questions we will take up in this paper, showing the needs of the times which were met or were supposed to be met through the Monastic Orders we have just mentioned.


The Authorship Of The Fourth Gospel In Present-Day Thought, Walter Heyne May 1949

The Authorship Of The Fourth Gospel In Present-Day Thought, Walter Heyne

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It ls the purpose of this paper to explore recent literature to ascertain the prevailing views on this subject. The available English and German literature which has appeared since approximately 1915 has been surveyed to determine mainly this one thing: What is the current thinking on the subject of the authorship of John’s Gospel? In this sense, this is largely a statistical study, and no particular effort has been made to distinguish between the authority and scholarship of those whose opinion are presented. The date 1915 was selected as the terminus a quo since the second decade of our century …


St Paul's Ethical Terminology, Arthur Vincent May 1949

St Paul's Ethical Terminology, Arthur Vincent

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Because of the importance of Paul as missionary and as a teacher of doctrine and ethics and the past neglect of Pauline ethics; along with the changing conditions demand a constant study of the eternal principles of right and wrong.


The Ending Of St Mark's Gospel A Study In Textual Criticism, Henry Hamann May 1949

The Ending Of St Mark's Gospel A Study In Textual Criticism, Henry Hamann

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The writer, rather immodestly it may be held, can -not accept the principles enunciated by WH .and accepted by many textual critics since, and accordingly a rather large section of the present study is given over to a critical-analysis of the principles of WH and the formulation of· other critical principles, which form the foundation upon which the real work is raised.


The Typological Method Of Biblical Interpretation: An Investigation, Willard Burce May 1949

The Typological Method Of Biblical Interpretation: An Investigation, Willard Burce

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It was the original object of this study to investigate these three questions. The subject is very large, however. It. seems more salutary to deal for the first with the history of typology and to see how exegetes of the Church down through the years have faced the problems of understanding and discussing types.


The Religious Beliefs And Practices Of The Ancient Slavs, George Dolak May 1949

The Religious Beliefs And Practices Of The Ancient Slavs, George Dolak

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The religion of the pagan Slavs seems to have been a purely domestic religion with the idea of a state religion not entering into the S1avic concept of one’s relation to the supreme being. The religion of the early Slavs has also been characterized as of the non-fanatical type. It is a question as to whether such a statement permits of a broad application. As a matter of fact Orloff limits it to the religion or the Southern Slavs maintaining that it was of a purer kind than the Scandinavian or that of the northwestern Slavs.
