Thomas Cromwell : The Force Behind The Henrician Reformation, Stephanie Annette Finley

Honors Theses

From the Henrician Reformation to the middle of the twentieth century, Thomas Cromwell, the man who made the Reformation possible by carefully guiding national legislation through Parliament, has been termed a "black legend'' due to his ruthless ability to enact reforms at all costs. The asunder English Church fissioned from international Christendom with the King as supreme head was a price too high for some Englishmen and ineluctably doomed Cromwell's life and memory. However, England emerged from the Reformation a more efficiently organized nation ruled by the King-in-Parliament, and it can not be denied that the great achievements of Henry …

Wesleyan Primer: A Layman's Guide To Wesleyan Theology, James William Zinn

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

"Theology" is one of those words generally neglected by the Christian layman. Theology seems a distant and nebulous discipline which is restricted solely to the somber halls of the seminary. Even the definition of Theology is somewhat misleading, meaning in a restricted sense "a study of God". In practice, though, theology really means "the study of how God relates to his Creation." Any attempt to study God falls very short of completion. After all, the subject, God himself, is not available for direct examination. Within Christian theology the only concrete evidence available with which to work with is the Holy …

In Search Of A Useful Concept Of Discipleship In The Gospels, Lawson E. Brown

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The greatest imperative left by Christ to His Church is clearly delineated in His last words, as recorded by Matthew:

"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Jesus has clearly declared, then, that every person whom He has called to Himself must accept the mandate to disciple others. …

Phototherapy--A Phenomenologically Based Approach To Psychological Assessment, Sheila Culkin

Theses

In this project the use of phototherapy in the psychological assessment process was proposed and explored.

The study investigates whether the photography, its content as well as its formal elements, i.e. camera angle, framing, perspective, lights and darks, distance of the subject from photographer, can reflect the experience and perception of the photographer. It has as its …

An Exposition Of 1 John With An Emphasis On The Anti-Gnostic Elements, Patricia Swann

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses
