The Pauline Understanding Of "The Law Of Christ", Keith Arnold Gerberding

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

It is puzzling, then, to hear Paul affirming the validity of the law, as he does in his letter to the Romans (3:21,31; 7:12,16) and in the first letter to the Corinthians (14:34). It seems to be a contradiction in terms when Paul combines "law" and "Christ" in the expression "the law of Christ" (Gal. 6:2). The purpose of this study is to find out what Paul means by this phrase and those phrases which are similar (1 Cor. 9:21; Rom. 3:27; 8:2), in view of his teaching on law and the revelation given in Christ.

A Case Study In Exegetical Methodology George Stoeckhardt And Johann Philip Koehler On Ephesians, William John Hassold

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

In every church body there have been certain individuals who have exercised decisive leadership and whose influence has continued through the years. In The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod a listing of such men might include Dr. C. F. w. Walther, Dr. Franz Pieper, Dr. Georg Stoeckhardt, and others. In the Wisconsin Synod the list would certainly include Dr. Adolf Hoenecke, Professors August Pieper, Johann Philip Koehler, and John P. Meyer. Some of these men distinguished themselves as organizational leaders, some as theologians, and some in both areas of church life.

The two individuals whose labors have been of the greatest significance …

On Human, Economic, Natural Resources For The State Of Utah From 1870- 1910 From U.S. Census Reports, Daniel J. Ringle

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Many have called attention to the wealth of historical data buried in the decennial compilations of census reports conducted by the United States government since 1790. Many distinguished studies have been made utilizing these data . Surely a concentrated study of the reports for a limited area over a span of time will yield either new insights or verifications for established views. The purpose of this report is to provide a general summary of and analysis of the human, economic, and natural resources of Utah from 1870 to 1910, based on the data of the United States census reports.

Many …

Richard Taverner (1505?--1575) And The English Reformation, James Herbert Pragman

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate and describe the life and work of Richard Taverner so that an assessment of his contribution to the English Reformation could be made.

A secondary purpose lies behind this study; actually, this secondary purpose provided the initial impetus for this study. Lutherans have been especially interested in Richard Taverner, because he translated the Augsburg Confession and its Apology into English for the first time in 1536. However, Lutherans did not really know Taverner, and historical curiosity suggested that a fuller knowledge of the man ought to be gained. The secondary purpose …

The Anointing At Bethany In The Fourth Gospel, James Russell Pierce

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In addition to the introductions at 11:1 and 12:1, there are five others which include references to other parts of the Fourth Gospel. Our purpose in reviewing them is to find a pattern which may suggest why John felt these reminders necessary, hoping thereby to find a basis for interpreting his intention as he related the anointing at Bethany. This study will be limited to references in introductions, excluding phrases which John includes here and there to add information in the midst of a pericope (for example, that Philip was from Bethsaida, 12:21).

The Relationship Of Amos To The Cult, Alfred John Johnson

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This thesis will examine the prophecy of Amos and attempt to show that Amos was not inimical toward the cult. Through an investigation of the background and vocation of Amos it will be shown that he did not live a life of isolation, but that he had frequent intercourse with his countrymen. Through an examination of the speech forms used by Amos, it will be shown that he had a broad acquaintance with the literary arts and skills of his culture and an intimate knowledge of the cultic system of the religion of Israel.

The Word And The Confessions In The Lutheran Church In America Confession Of Faith Of 1962 - A Historical Approach, Thomas Roy Mccrone

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It is the purpose of this study to examine this last point, the Lutheran Church in America's position on the Word and the Confessions, as this is established in its "Confession of Faith" of 1962. Such an examination, however, poses certain difficulties because of the merger and consensus nature of the Lutheran Church in America. The "Confession of Faith" was not drafted in a theological and historical vacuum. Behind it stand several major theological controversies and almost one hundred and fifty years of doctrinal development within the Muhlenberg strain of American Lutheranism, and shorter but no less important developments within …

Irony, And Other Literary Techniques, In The Fourth Gospel, Robert O. Neff Jr

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Bruegel: His Influences And Consequences, Regina Cheng Jafree

All Master's Theses

Pieter Bruegel the elder, whose work is as modern today as centuries ago, and whose reputation as a major genius in the realm of visual, spiritual and sociological reality is lately emerging in a fashion which seems to do greater justice at a scale eminently deserved. I feel that in times to come, men like Bruegel and Caravaggio will possibly emerge as the most significant philosophers of visual arts. The fact that Bruegel is now being increasingly appreciated on a wider scale testifies to his greatness as a prophet and as a man who looked into the future, deeply and …

Ceramic Feelings, Beverly Maki

All Master's Theses

Earth, air, water, and fire--four basic elements--have given me the opportunity to express my eclectic experiences into forms of clay. I have raised questions about my work pertaining to my conscious and subconscious to find how I see and feel about my work, in order to see myself in terms of my past, present and future. I have thought about the reality and nonreality of my feelings and wondered about the images and experiences that lie hidden in my subconscious, that could create new meanings and ideas. I have also wondered how I might relate certain ideas to my work. …

A Controlled-Interview Study: The Philosophy And Practice Of Chaplain's Services In Four Selected Seventh-Day Adventist Hospitals In Southern California, Richard Huei-Ying Liu

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

It was the purpose of this paper to attempt an understanding of the chaplain's role on the health team, both in the United States and in the Far East, in light of research conducted in four specific Seventh-day Adventist Hospitals: the Glendale Adventist Hospital, the Loma Linda University Medical Center, the Paradise Valley Adventist Hospital, and the White Memorial Medical Center.

Before attempting any field research in the area of chaplaincy, I felt I must understand to some degree the general under lying philosophy of this profession. Thus, both the published and unpublished works of leaders in the field were …

The Early Beats: Humanity And Machinery, James A. Winders

Honors Theses

The beatnik has been a favorite character in American films and television in recent years. Somewhere in the lost shuffle of Jerry Lewis movies is found a scene containing typical Hollywood treatment of the bohemian of the 1950's. A "square," i.e., a "normal" person, finds himself in a smoky tomb-like cafe featuring the props necessary to represent a "beatnik scene:" expresso coffee, unwashed, bearded men wearing sweatshirts, dungarees, and sneakers accompanied by classic beatnik "chicks" (female bohemians) with long, straight hair, an abundance of dark eye shadow, perhaps sunglasses, and, of course, they are clad entirely in black. Without fail, …

The Effects Of Huguenot Settlements Upon The French Colonial Empire, Daniel J. Ringle

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Considering this paper for a Seminar in Early Colonial History, became particularly interested in the French colonization efforts in the New World. My interest stems from the fact that I am a teacher of American History in the Public School system of the State of Utah. Due to the meager information contained in the textbooks used, most Americans know very little about the beginning of the French settlements and their impact upon the French Colonial Empire. Americans have heard of the French cities of Quebec, Montreal, New Orleans, and some others. They are aware that on the plains of Abraham …

The Cultural Programs Of The Wpa: With Special Emphasis On The Federal Art Project, Lawrence G. Lashbrook

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The number of Americans who did not suffer in some way from the depression of the thirties was small, indeed. This was a period of great travail for the United States and the entire world. However, it was also one of the most interesting and innovative periods in American history. President Franklin D. Roosevelt exhibited forceful and quick reactions to the economic and social problems besetting the nation. Not the least of these measures of mitigation was the Works Projects Administration and the inclusive WPA cultural projects. These projects contained an art program, a writers' program, a theatre program and …

The Resurrection Faith Of The Maccabean Martyrs, Harold N. Wendt

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This thesis is to undertake a study of the resurrection faith of the Maccabean martyrs. In so doing, it will study two particu1ar works, the canonical book of Daniel and the apocryphal book of Second Maccabees.

By "resurrection" is meant that act of God by which He calls forth the bodies of the dead and restores them to life again. This term implies something different from what is usually understood by such concepts as the immortality of the soul, translation and assumption.

The thesis will consider the nature of the faith embraced by these martyrs with regard to the following; …

The Attitudes Of The Christian Clergy Of Tulsa, Oklahoma Toward The Place Of Charismata Iamatōn In Their Ministries, Donald John Dallmann

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this study is to investigate the New Testament phenomenon of charismatic gifts of healings (charismata iamatōn, 1 Cor. 12:9,28,30) and the attitudes of the Christian clergy of Tulsa, Oklahoma, toward the place of those gifts in their ministries in 1970. It is generally conceded that a ministry of healing is part of the mission of the church as a redeemed community called to extend the lordship of Jesus. In this study an attempt is made to define some of the constitutive elemtns of the New Testament phenomenon of charismata iamatōn and to determine the ways in which …

Demian: Ein Weg Zu "Amor Fati", Wayne D. Nuss

Dissertations and Theses

Demian has the characteristics of a Bildungsroman and an allegory, and may be put into either classification. However, rather than squeeze the work into some literary mould and end up with an "ugly duckling," one can look upon Demian as the 40-year-old Hesse's world view presented in literary form, which in fact is the development of a life-formula, "amor fati." Demian then becomes a "beautiful swan."

The thesis is constructed in three main sections, looking at Demian from different perspectives: Demian as a Bildungsroman: Demian as an allegory; Demian as a life-formula.

The work contains the qualifications of a …

Foreign Policy Decisions Which Led To United States Military Occupation Of The Dominican Republic, Bert Lewis Junior Farrar

Dissertations and Theses

To achieve independence, the Dominican Republic had to first endure three centuries of heavy-handed Spanish rule and period of Haitian domination that lasted for twenty-two years. Fear of Haitian reconquest, however, convinced the leading Dominican politicians that the new nation could not long endure without foreign protection.

Encouraged by Dominican offers of a naval base, the United States toyed with the idea of expansion in the Caribbean as early as 1850, but civil war cut short these notions and allowed Spain to reassert control over her former colony. Although Spanish occupation ended in failure the United States became more determined …

Melville's America : Democratic Brotherhood, Nancy Yeager Bailey

Master's Theses

Herman Melville had a deep faith in his fellow man. He felt that man's devotion to other men, a feeling of brotherhood between men, was the essential bond of humanity. Men had to acknowledge their responsibility to their own kind in order to achieve order and happiness in the rapidly changing, ambiguous world of the mid-nineteenth century. He rejected transcendental philosophy because each man had to achieve his own convictions and peace of mind through personal contact with nature, which led to the isolation of the individual. Melville believed that men could not live together in a society by cultivating …

The Contributions And Effects Of The Drama On Paradise Lost, Robert Elliott Bayliss

Master's Theses

Upon reading John Milton's Paradise Lost, one cannot help but notice that its tone, its moving scenes and confrontations, and its moments of psychological and cathartic impact all help to shape what one might call the poem's total effect -- the impressions it leaves with the reader. Upon close examination it becomes obvious that Milton was consummately adept in his adaptation of the dramatic element in his great epic. What is generally unrecognized, yet surprisingly evident, is that the dramatic element plays a unique and singularly important role in building the poem's grandeur. This dramatic element, more than any of …
