Conflict Of Religious Cultures: A Study In The Relevance Of Ugaritic Materials For The Early Faith Of Israel, Norman Habel

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

In brief the major thesis of the present work is that any interpretation of the pre-monarchic faith of Israel must take into consideration the conflict between the religious culture of Israel and that of its historical environment, and that the Ugaritic materials, in particular, are relevant for an understanding of the conflict between the religious cultures of Israel and Canaan, for an appreciation of the distinctive features of Israel's covenant faith and for a clarification of those areas where Canaanite religious influences are thought to be present in the biblical record.

Wars Of The Israelite Amphictyony, Theodore Ludwig

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The research which resulted in this thesis was done for the purpose of determining the place which united military undertakings had in the Israelite tribal league prior to the establishment of the monarchy. The Old Testament describes a number of wars which took place during the era known as "the period of the judges." Although the victories won in these battles were usually ascribed to "Israel" in general, there are indications in some cases that the actual participants in the battles were limited to a small number of the Israelite tribes. This study seeks to discover the tribal participation in …

The Theological Background Of The Marcan Account Of The Baptism And Temptation Of Jesus, George Nickelsburg

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the Old Testament and intertestamental background of the words and concepts appearing in Mark 1:1-13. Our study will show that almost every word and phrase in these verses is charged with a complex of theological associations stemming from the Old Testament and the Apocrypha and Pseudopigraha. We will attempt to show what these associations are, the different nuances given to them by the writers of the Old Testament and the intertestamental literature, and the varying ways which they were combined in these writings.

An Annotated Translation Of Georg F Vicedom's Missio Dei, Dennis Hilgendorf

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The present thesis is offered as a contribution towards the study of a theology of missions. The Translator's Appendix and the majority of the footnotes are the work of the writer; the rest of the thesis is a translation of Georg F. Vicedom's Missio Dei, published by the Chr. Kaiser Verlag of Munich, Germany. Although the work reveals continental flavor and concerns, it is my conviction that by its range and depth it will appeal to a far wider constituency in the West as well as those areas where religion is making a fresh impact.

The Theory Of Adult Christian Education In The Local Lutheran Parish, John Golisch

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This study is an attempt to define, formulate and describe the aim and essence of Christian education. It will do this within the framework and understanding of conservative Lutheran theology whose sole norm and source is the verbally-inspired and all-sufficient Scriptures of God. It will attempt to apply this to Lutheran adults at the parish level and in terms of what God wants to be occurring in the local Lutheran parish for the continued Christian growth and education of its adults. This study is not intended as an exhaustive nor a definitive treatise on the subject. It does, however, seek …

Bad Hand: The Military Career Of Ranald Slidell Mackenzie, 1871-1889, Lessing H. Nohl Jr.

History ETDs

Few army officers of the post-Civil War era contributed more to the destruction of the Indian barrier to westward expansion than did Brig. Gen. Ranald Slidell Mackenzie. Yet, despite his importance to the military history of the American frontier, little is known of the man. Few if any students have exploited archival materials, while an absence of Mackenzie's personal papers has encouraged superficial sketches of his career.

Sir Thomas Browne In The Nineteenth And Twentieth Centuries, Richard C. Angell

English Language and Literature ETDs

From his own day to ours, the works of Sir Thomas Browne were never more popular than in the nineteenth century. His influence was great on the English Romantics and Victorians alike, and even more profound on the American Transcendentalists. He did not fare as well in the eighteenth century. One reason was the preoccupation of his literary executor, Bishop Tennison, who became Archbishop of Canterbury and probably had little time for literary chores; another was that some of Browne's literary remains fell into the hands of the notorious publisher Edmund Curll, who published hastily and without selection; but perhaps …

Together with all of his other achievements, Walther is remembered today also as a preacher of the first rank. And it is to an examination of Walther's preaching that this thesis addresses itself.

A Study Of The Communicative Process In Preaching, Harvey Donald Lange

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to highlight some or the problems involved in the process of communication, in the process or transferring one's own thought into the mind of another. These problems will concern particu1arly some of the distractions and hindrances which deflect the pastor's sermon and even prevent it from entering into the mind of his hearer. This paper does not deal with the remedy or solution to these problems, except by way of illustration. The paper will concentrate upon the problems themselves so that the preacher may become aware of the variables in communication and take them …

The Foolishness Of Christ Crucified Viewed From The Point Of Incipient Gnosticism At Corinth, William Goerss

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The thesis of this paper is that at Corinth Paul did take over some of the thought patterns and vocabulary of an incipient Gnosticism with Judaic overtones. But instead of being influenced theologically by the borrowed terms, he used them for his consistent preaching of the crucified Savior, the true Wisdom of God. He was well aware of the uniqueness of the religion he preached; its real source lay not in the current thought forms of either Judaism or Hellenism, but in the Person, 'Preaching and redemptive work of the crucified Son of God.

A Comparison Of The Ethics Of The Qumran Scrolls And The Epistle Of James, Warren Schmidt

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

There are several reasons why one would expect to find similarities to the Scrolls in James. The latter is clearly a Palestinian document written for Jewish readers. It is probably the earliest of the New Testament books written during the formative years of the church. This is a time when the church would be more open to outside influences in matters such as organization and polity. The early dating of James has been accepted by many scholars since the study of Gerhard Kittel, who dates it in the fourth decade of the first century, immediately before Paul's first missionary journey.
