The Christian And Petting, Kelsey E. Hinshaw

Historical Quaker Books

Excerpt: "This article is called forth by the following considerations: There is the desire, first, to answer the stock remark of so many young people, ''What's the harm? Everybody does it." - and second, to arouse the church of today to a realization of what is happening. Our homes and home influences are at an all-time low. Divorce, the "white slave" trade, and the illegitimate birth rate are, according to government statistics, at or near all-time highs. Competent authorities conservatively report that in one U. S. city alone hundreds of girls disappear each day of the year never to be …

Use Of Illustrative Materials In The Young People's Department Of The Church, Arthur W. Binford

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Visual aids have played an important part in teaching methods of both the public schools and the church schools of today. Teachers would be under a great handicap if they could not use some kind of a visual aid to guide their teaching, especially in the beginners, primary, and junior departments of both the church and public schools. Visual aids are used in the public schools in the intermediate and high school age groups, but they have not been used in these departments in the church to a very large extent. The church has not provided adequate materials for this …

A Layman's Guide To The Pauline Epistles, Eric L. Kallis

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Much has been written on the subject of New Testament Introduction. An investigation disclosed the astonishing and revealing fact, that most of the Introductions which could be recommended to laymen were in old books which were no longer in print. It was also discovered that some which were available for laymen, were too brief in content as well as inadequate for comprehension. Some of the books were in too fine a print to attract the layman. Most introductions do not contain the message of the several epistles. Thus this study was undertaken.

An Analysis And Evaluation Of Religious Testing, Stephen A. Watkins

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There has developed in the field of secular education the extensive and successful use of testing devices to both measure and improve classroom instruction. These devices, too numerous to name, not only measure achievement, but also aptitude, personality, intelligence, personnel and many other factors. Religious education at one time made an effort to employ these devices but failed.

Therefore, the following questions need to be considered: (1) what were the trends of religious education when religious testing was first used? (2) what general attitude stimulated test development? (3) why was this movement abandoned in religious education while secular education continued …

A Historical Study Of Church Music Reform, Glen M. Buffman

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Music has been and is an integral part of the life of the Christian Church. History reveals that from the very beginning of the Church, and on through the ensuing centuries, music has played a vital role in the worship of the Church, and has even had a part in the development of the expression of the Christian faith.

The contemporary Christian Church has evidences of producing a complex pattern of church music which is unprecedented in history. In the first place the church life of today has rapidly become decentralized, through the increasing emphasis on departmentalization of the Church …

The Doctrine Of Inspiration Of Scripture As Affected By The Jonannine-Synoptic Problem, Charles B. Morgan

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The theory which stresses that inspiration is at the level of words alone has caused problems to arise as textual and literary criticism is applied to the Bible. These problems focus attention on the nature of Biblical inspiration. It is the quality of inspiration which gives authority to the Bible. An authority must speak a word which is final and cannot be controverted. It must be, in some real way, inerrant and infallible. The nature of authority demands this. Thus, by logical necessity the Bible has been declared inerrant and infallible in order to sustain its' authority in respect …

A Christian Teaching Concerning Bodily Healing, F. Bruce Chamberlain

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem of this thesis is to formulate a Christian teaching concerning bodily healing.

This study is important because many passages of scripture refer to bodily healing. One cannot overlook this area of truth and still have a general knowledge of scripture.

Again, this problem deserves serious attention because it is one of interest to every Christian. Many are directly faced with this problem when sickness or physical break-down overtakes them. Those who are spared this, meet the problem indirectly as sickness comes to some loved one. Thus this problem is more than a mere academic one, but is a …

A Study Of Isaiah's Use Of The Term Servant, Lowell Williamson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

This study is an attempt to clarify the wealth of material written on the subject of the servant, because so many adverse options have arisen. The recent findings of the Qumran Literature, or the Dead Sea Scrolls, has given opportunity to re-examine the interpretations of the servant passages. Very little material of significance is added to the study from the Qumran Literature, though the probable interpretation of the servant held by the Qumran community may be deducted from the literature. One result of these findings has been the greater confidence in the Hebrew Massoretic Text, now known to be the …

A Study Of Isaiah's Use Of The Term Servant, Lowell Williamson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "In the eighteenth century, when the unity of the prophecy of Isaiah began to be questioned, a new wave of critical studies ensued. Among these were many views expressed concerning what was called Deutero-Isaiah (chapters 40-66). The dating of this section of Isaiah greatly affected the interpretation of the prophecies, especially those connected with the exile and all future events. As the early fervor to prevent workable theories of interpretation for those prophesies developed, it was evident that there was more unity to the writings of this section than had previously been held."

The Unity Of The Book Of Isaiah As It Is Reflected In The New Testament Writings, Theodore F. Dockter

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The education of the minister is made rather complex by the great volume of materials and books that are made available to him. Many of these books that are being published follow the critical view while others present the Biblical view. The reader of these books must decide what he shall accept as true.

Many books have been published about Isaiah.. Some have held to the unity of Isaiah, while others have tried to disprove it and have torn the book apart. Most of the books that have been written have dealt with the problem from the Old Testament standpoint. …

The Sign Of Jonah, Kelsey E. Hinshaw

Historical Quaker Books

We have available today the immediate revelation and leadership of the Holy Spirit. It is this leadership rather than conscience that we as Friends are obligated to follow. Conscience may be a poor standard as it operates in accord with our own subjective beliefs and may be wrong. Our problem is to "try the spirits" to be sure the spirit we are following is truly the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is of God and cannot be wrong. The Bible is our ultimate test because the leadership of the Holy Spirit must be in accord with God's Written Word. The …

Quaker Testimony Against Slavery And Racial Discrimination, Stella Alexander

Historical Quaker Books

This anthology has been compiled at the suggestion of the Race Relations Committee of the (British) Society of Friends, who wanted to record the development of Friends' testimony against slavery and racial discrimination. The extracts have been grouped under two headings "Individual Witness" and "Corporate Witness". An effort has been made under the second heading to trace the growth of the testimony, but in general the passages have been chosen for their intrinsic interest and to illustrate the depth and strength of the witness.

An Existential Interpretation Of The Doctrine Of Holiness, Mildred B. Wynkoop

Faculty Publications - Portland Seminary

The purpose of this book is three-fold. First, to analyze and evaluate the status of the "holiness" message today. In this analysis the problems raised by the preaching of holiness will be faced squarely. Then, a fresh examination of the Scriptures will be attempted upon which the holiness message is based. Finally, a constructive theological statement will be proposed in which, it is hoped, some of the most serious questions will find a satisfactory answer.

The Study Of The Problem Of Suffering And Chastening, Lester A. Wetzstein

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The mid-week prayer meeting was the setting that provided the first incentive for this study. The mystery of the subject has been in the background of the writer's thinking from his early teens. As the people united in prayer, they would follow much of the usual pattern week after week. Occasionally some particular suffering of unusual severity prompted the people to unite in praying for deliverance. The writer definitely had no thought of questioning their faith. He is confident that they were sincere in the prayer they were offering. Then in the same prayer someone would pray for the …

A Comparison Of The Wesleyan And Keswickian Interpretations Of The Work Of The Holy Spirit In Believers, John Mcclimans

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The problem of the Christian believer's deliverance from sin is of concern to all traditional Christian theology. That the believer has a root of sin from which he must be delivered before he may enter heaven is generally granted. The point of divergence lies in the answers to those questions; what is original sin, when and how may one expect deliverance from it? Among the various Wesleyan groups a "this-life" solution to the sin problem is stressed, but because there are various answers to the question, "what is original sin?" the nature of the solution will be variously understood. The …
