Lutheran Hymns In English Translation Or The Contribution Of Nineteenth Century Translators In England To English Hymnody, Hans Bruss Apr 1939

Lutheran Hymns In English Translation Or The Contribution Of Nineteenth Century Translators In England To English Hymnody, Hans Bruss

Bachelor of Divinity

Christian song, as it has been in the past, so it is today a tremendous influence in the life of God’s people here on earth. Next only to the Bible, the Hymnody of Christendom is probable the most influential medium of religious culture that we possess. The Hymnody of the Christian Church can be compared to wells of living water. From these wells Christians drink deeply in public worship. By these wells Christian spiritual life is awakened, educated1, and sustained. From these wells Christians find strength and inspiration for their tasks during the week; they find power to carry on …

The Christian Apologists Of The Second Century Their Message And Mission, Clarence Bopp Apr 1939

The Christian Apologists Of The Second Century Their Message And Mission, Clarence Bopp

Bachelor of Divinity

This book shows us that the Jewish people stil1 regarded Christ as an impostor, and were then still expecting a Messiah who would be a glorious ruler. It also indicates that the traveling opponents of Christianity were still exerting their influence. Therefore the Christian apologists of the second century had to keep the Jews in mind. In dealing with them Justin argues from the Old Testament, to show that the prophecies of the Messiah can be fulfilled only in Jesus Christ; he also attacks their ceremonialism and formalism. Thus apologetics against the Jews in the second century is still of …

The Practical Application Of The Sermon, George Kurz Apr 1939

The Practical Application Of The Sermon, George Kurz

Bachelor of Divinity

Spurgeon once wrote that "where the application begins, there the sermon begins." Since the application is so important, it will be the primary purpose of this thesis to offer suggestions to the preacher on how he may improve and develop his ability in constructing the practical application of his sermon. The paper shall not be limited to mere suggestions, however; we shall discuss and make a study of the subject from all important angles (such as: the nature of the application, the necessity of the application, the purpose of the application, etc.). Writing on a subject of this type is …

Lutheran Hymns In English Translations, W Harry Krieger Apr 1939

Lutheran Hymns In English Translations, W Harry Krieger

Bachelor of Divinity

Nothing makes so forcible and lasting an impression as contrast, nor are truths taught more easily through the employment of another method of presentation. Perhaps, then, in prefacing a study of Luther’s hymns, no better means of evaluating the Reformer’s real worth could be used than a contrast of the German Hymnology of the Medieval Period with that of the Reformation.

The Hittites, Gerhard Lewerenz Apr 1939

The Hittites, Gerhard Lewerenz

Bachelor of Divinity

Evidence, however, has pointed to Asia Minor as their home, and when therefore in the nineteenth century monuments were found at Aleppo and Carchemish on the Euphrates, Hamath on the Crontes, and other sites in Asia Minor, Syria, Cappadocia, and elsewhere, - monuments of unusual style and with inscriptions written in unknown hieroglyphics, - it was natural to attribute them to this nation whose existence was known, but whose civilization had not as yet been uncovered.

The Minor Biblical Prereformers Of The Xv Century, Walter Litke Apr 1939

The Minor Biblical Prereformers Of The Xv Century, Walter Litke

Bachelor of Divinity

We cannot speak of “Pre-reformers” unless we have a clear conception of the tem “reformation”. Too often we leave the Reformation historically unexplained as if it were a sudden upheaval in the life of the church, a change as sudden as the inversion of an hour glass. But no Reformer just drops from heaven. “In spite of its originality and freshness, the Reformation by no means interrupted the continuity of human affairs - on the contrary, it was, on the one hand, preceded and its way prepared by pious and enlightened men, who preached almost the very doctrines that distinguished …

Aspects Of Pragmatisim In Relation To Christian Theology, Frederick Gumz Apr 1939

Aspects Of Pragmatisim In Relation To Christian Theology, Frederick Gumz

Bachelor of Divinity

The pragmatism of Dewey and James is doubtless responsible to a large degree for the general tendency in modern theology of subordinating Scripture to the ends of practical life, and of accepting as true only those of its doctrines which can be translated into tangible consequences contributory to the welfare of society or the individual. Believing that theology in the past has been concerned too much with the mere “intellectual interrelations of certain concepts,” churchmen are today advocating a greater emphasis on the “functioning of the religious consciousness.” This movement has aroused a wide-spread aversion to doctrine and a passion …

The Doctrine Of Holy Baptism In The Pauline Epistles, Arlo Mueller Apr 1939

The Doctrine Of Holy Baptism In The Pauline Epistles, Arlo Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose or this treatise is to show, primarily, that the doctrine which the Confessional Lutheran Church has taught concerning the Sacrament of Holy Baptism is the Scriptural doctrine as taught in the Pauline Epistles, and that the various errors of Enthusiasm on this point must be rejected as conflicting with the clear teachings of Paul, the great apostle.

The Bearing Of The Theory Of Evolution Upon The Chrisitian Doctrine Of Man, Theodore Martin Apr 1939

The Bearing Of The Theory Of Evolution Upon The Chrisitian Doctrine Of Man, Theodore Martin

Bachelor of Divinity

Evolution is an attempt to explain present conditions. In reality it consists of a number of explanatory attempts, none of which are satisfactory. All involve change, a development of the simple into the complex. Evolution has been defined as a "change due to circumstances,” but this is only a part of the story. As it is generally understood, evolution means much more than this. It means a development in matter resulting from the action or forces resident in matter itself.

The Gnosticism Opposed And Condemed In The New Testament, Erwin Lueker Apr 1939

The Gnosticism Opposed And Condemed In The New Testament, Erwin Lueker

Bachelor of Divinity

It is our purpose in this thesis to trace the movement in the form in which it is opposed and condemned in the New Testament, and, if possible, find external information on these movements. Although many of the passages which condemn false teachers may have been written against gnostics, we shall deal only with those in which gnostic tendencies are revealed.

The Dispersion Of The Jews In The Western World, Paul Martens Apr 1939

The Dispersion Of The Jews In The Western World, Paul Martens

Bachelor of Divinity

It is my purpose to show in what manner and to what extent these threatenings of the almighty God were pronounced upon his chosen people, the children of Israel, the Jews. We will consider their dispersion in the Western world. In the early centuries the Jews of Egypt, Palestine, and Asia Minor were called Western Jews in distinction from those who were carried away to Babylon and the plains of Assyria. According to the modern division, the Jews of Egypt, Judea, and Greece are included among the eastern Jews, in distinction to those of Spain, Germany, and England. We here …

Evil Spirits, R. T. Du Brau Apr 1939

Evil Spirits, R. T. Du Brau

Concordia Theological Monthly

This nomenclature no doubt harks back to the impure and unclean spirit of idolatry. To the ennobled and regenerated Christian soul, uncleanness was inseparable from the pagans' worship of their lesser divinities, or demons, both from a physical and psychical point of view. This is echoed by an emphatic longer descriptive phrase, occurring once only, and this in Luke 4:33.

The Means Of Grace In Roman Theology, Theodore Graebner Apr 1939

The Means Of Grace In Roman Theology, Theodore Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

That things are not what they seem is an observation elicited frequently by a course of study in Roman Catholic dogma. At no point is this caution more necessary than in an attempt to comprehend the Roman Catholic idea of Grace and of the Means of Grace.

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt Apr 1939

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the foreword of the present volume of this journal we stated in which sense one may without hesitation speak of open questions. At the same time we declared that we reject the modern theory of open questions. It appears necessary, however, that we point out how untenable the arguments are which are advanced In support and justification of this theory.

Purpose Clauses In The Pauline Epistles, Herbert Mueller Mar 1939

Purpose Clauses In The Pauline Epistles, Herbert Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

A working knowledge of the Greek language is a very valuable asset to the minister of the Gospel, and has a rightful place in his professional equipment. It belongs to his tools. The better the tool, the more efficient will the workman be. The better acquainted the minister is with the. Bible, his One Tool, the more effective will his service be.

The Institutional Missionary And The Sick, E. A. Duemling Mar 1939

The Institutional Missionary And The Sick, E. A. Duemling

Concordia Theological Monthly

Visitation of the sick is one of the most important duties of an institutional missionary. While on earth, Jesus, the Physician, had compassion on the sick and freed them from their ailments, not only physically but also spiritually. Jesus is no longer visibly with us, no longer performing miracles of healing, and sickness is still causing untold agony and misery in the world. It is very sad indeed to see so much pain and suffering, principally in our large hospitals. As long as we are living in a sinful world, there will also be pain, suffering, and, finally, death. There …

The Doctrine Of Justification According To Duns Scotus, Doctor Subtilis, Theo. Dierks Mar 1939

The Doctrine Of Justification According To Duns Scotus, Doctor Subtilis, Theo. Dierks

Concordia Theological Monthly

In his book Die Theologie des Johannes Duns Scotus, Seeberg compares Duns Scotus with Luther and maintains that Luther's conflict with Rome was chiefly directed against Duns Scotus. This is true to some extent, especially in regard to the question of free will and grace.
