Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

An Investigation Of The Doctrine Of Divine Providence In Relation To Man As Viewed By John Wesley, J. Ronald Herzog

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

"There is scarcely any doctrine in the whole compass of 1 revelation, which is of deeper importance than this." Such is John Wesley's comment concerning the providence of God. Wesley, himself, had a keen interest in providence. In his Journals alone he makes no less than forty-eight direct references to providence along with many inferences. These, along with many more references in his other writings, show a lifelong concern with the subject.

The purpose of this study was to make a thorough investigation of Wesley• s doctrine of divine providence in relation to man. Then, on the basis of this …

An Inquiry Into The Nature And Worship Of God With Special Reference To The Second Commandment, Virgil Dunber

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem considered in this study has been: Does the Bible permit the use of man--made images of God, or images that man might intend to represent God? This is related to the problem: Can an image created by man help man to know God?

The word image, in this study, has been selected to cover the wide subject of visual art work. Both statues and pictures are included, because no essential difference between statues and pictures has been found.

History Of The Oregon Conference Of The Free Methodist Church, Howard Sanders

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The religious history of the Pacific Northwest is important to the development and growth of this part of the United States. The first church men came with the purpose of evangelizing the Indians who lived in the region. These men, such as Jason Lee, Father Blanchet, Father Desmet, Marcus Whitman, and Dr. Elijah White, were the first to migrate to this country with the exception of a small handful who were fur traders or employees of the Hudson Bay Company. Although the primary purpose of these "missionaries" failed, they did pioneer the way for others to come. With each new …

A Study Of The Present And Potential Utilization Of The Boy Scout Program By Evangelical Churches, Alfred R. Crist

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The evangelical Protestant movement in America is being identified as a struggle for identity and existence due to the advances made by neo-orthodoxy and liberalism into the basic beliefs of all Protestants. With this growth has come the ecumenical movement which is reaching all who profess the Christian faith. As long as these forces are gripping the mind and attention of most nominal American Protestants, the evangelical forces within this nation are being forced to re-examine their principles and programs in order to strengthen the emphasis on a vital, Bible-centered program of' evangelism and soul winning.

An Investigation Of The Theology Of C.W. Butler, Donald Hohensee

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The Reformation brought to light truths which had been hidden and forgotten for many years. The truth which Luther helped to bring to remembrance was that of justification by faith. This truth was the 1 source and determinate of his theology. About two hundred years later another man of God helped to bring out a forgotten truth, that of entire sanctification by faith. This man was John Wesley. This truth is regarded by many as being the source and determinate of his theology. 2 The Methodist Church, which sprang from the movement started by Wesley, spread to America, producing many …

A Study Of Motivation And Its Relationship To Churches, Fred H. Newkirk

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

As a pastor of a relatively small church, the writer has been intrigued with the question of why some churches grow, and in the same community, many churches struggle along at the same level of attendance for years. As one looks at the business community, one is confronted with the same similar question. Why do some businesses succeed, when many fail, and yet each handle essentially the same products. The question involves several different aspects of the study of motivation; group dynamics, leadership, the program, spiritual commitment, and individuals themselves. The main subject behind this investigation is the man on …

The Significance Of The Principles Of Christian Education In The Ministry Of John Wesley, John William Cox

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Evangelical churches are evidencing a new emphasis upon Christian education. There appear to be differences of opinion within the denomination of which the writer is a minister, as to the adoption and practice of Christian education. In fact, there seems to be a general lack of knowledge of what Christian education is, especially on the local church level.

Since this denomination holds firmly to the teaching of John Wesley regarding the doctrine of experience, the writer was prompted to investigate whether John Wesley used the principles of Christian education in his ministry.

Age-Group Doctrinal Training And The Assemblies Of God, Roy Lyn Schmidt

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

For years Protestantism has had many denominations, mainly because of variant doctrinal beliefs. Denominations who feel their existence is justified and who feel the truths for which they stand are worth perpetuating, have the solemn responsibility of indoctrinating their followers in the basic doctrines of the Bible as well as the distinctives for which they stand. When properly done, doctrinal trainings should assure a denomination of its continued existence, and the perpetuation of the truths for which it stands.

Accepted evangelical leaders indicated that doctrinal training was closely related to the destiny of a denomination, and most evangelical Protestant churches …

The Theology Of Self-Surrender In The Writings Of E. Stanley Jones, Varghese M. Kattapuram

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

While this thesis is written as a partial fulfillment of the requirements toward a B.D. degree at Western Evangelical Seminary, it seeks to grapple with one of the most crucial issues confronting Christian theology today, namely, what to make of the insights and discoveries of the newer disciplines of psychology, psycho-analysis, psychiatry, psychotherapy, etc. For a while psychology proceeded as though theology did not exist or as though it were a remnant of the superstitions of a previous age. However, in recent years psychological practitioners outside the church have shown somewhat greater interest in the religious life of their patients …
