Latin American Studies ETDs

This essay proposes to present a view of certain aspects of colonial government and society in New Spain in the year 1563-1565, as revealed in the correspondence and reports of Licenciado Jeronimo de Valderrama, who served as Visitor-General of the viceroyalty during this period, and in other contemporary documents.

One purpose of this thesis, in some small way, is to reverse present day, commonly held misconceptions of Civil War Medicine and bring into clear focus or erase altogether the exaggerated generalizations of Union Army casualties subjected to medievally administered or inexpedient therapeutics.

Role Of The Chorus In The Oedipus Tyrannus: The Tragic Conflict, Donald D. Mordecai

Senior Scholar Papers

This thesis attempts to state the conflict as it is manifest in Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus; to indicate the nature of the hero and the absolute force opposing him. It also attempts to define, in terms of the play, the nature of the resolution of the conflict, and the underlying tragic view which demands this resolution.

A History Of The Montana District Council Of The Assemblies Of God, Harry S. Garrett

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

One of the important and distinct expressions of protestant denominational life in the United States in the Twentieth century is the group called the Assemblies of God. The Assemblies of God have had a rapid growth in organization. In some instances the organizational life lagged behind its numerical growth. Such was the case in the state of Montana. Churches organized in this state were attached to two other Districts, the main portions of which were located in other states. It was finally deemed necessary and wise to organize a new district which would be called the Montana District Council of …

A Study Of The Use Of The Word "Law" In Paul's Epistle To The Romans, Donald D. Clark

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There are Orthodox Jews today, as in their early history, who still place their hope of righteousness in various laws, rituals, and ceremonies. This became quite evident as the writer took his basic training during the winter of 1959 at the u. s. Army's basic school for Chaplains.

The problem was further intensified by the fact that the writer has found this problem to be a part of many individuals' experiences. There are many of his associates of the Protestant faith who place their hope of righteousness in particular aspects of the law. Some feel that works merit salvation. The …

A Biblical Study Of The Lordship Of Christ, Hal J. May

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

This is an inductive study of the scriptures in an attempt to understand the true nature of the Lordship of Christ. The Apostle Paul, the Historic Confessions of Faith, and the modern Protestant ecumenical movement have all held the phrase "Christ is Lord" as an essential element of the Christian Faith. Because there are many divergent opinions concerning its meaning and nature, it is essential that the scriptures be examined to ascertain the true concept of the Lordship of Christ, and how man is related to it.

Citationsof The Church Fathers In The Augsburg Confession And The Apology, Robert Heckmann

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The Pastor's Responsibility In Training The Sunday School Superintendent, Delbert M. Keller

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The purpose of this study has been to determine the need for, and construct a program of training applied directly to the office of Sunday school superintendent in the Pacific Northwest Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church. The superintendent is the key man in the work of the Sunday school by virtue of his position and responsibilities. An effective superintendent must be able to understand the position which he occupies. As an officer of the church and a representative of its teaching ministry, he must be able to adequately fulfill his duties if the Sunday school is to be …

An Evangelical Approach To The Problem Of The Antiquity Of Man In The Light Of Biblical And Scientific Evidence, Richard T. Burdine

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Some contemporary Evangelical views concerning the antiquity of man are problematic in the light of modern scientific claims. Science presents a view of the age of man that is different from that presented by some scholars who feel they are representing the Biblical view. The sciences tend to look upon man as being hundred of thousands of years old. Some Biblical scholars feel that such a view is out of harmony with the Scriptures. The purpose of this study is to present an evangelical approach to the problem of the antiquity of man in the light of Biblical and scientific …

The In-Service Training Of Sunday School Personnel, Walter J. Schott

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

A thoughtful businessman remarked that he had discovered a new reason for believing that a church is a divine institution. "No other enterprise," he said, "could survive if managed so haphazardly." This statement is so true of the Sunday school. Generally speaking this school is an agency within the church, yet inseparable from t.he church whole. The Sunday school is more than a business enterprise. It is and basically should be a soul saving station, but it is also an educational institution. The affairs with which it must deal, should be of sufficient importance to be efficiently and effectively handled.

The In-Service Training Of Sunday School Personnel, Walter J. Schott

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate the present importance and examine the potential values of the Sunday school workers' conference as a major technique used for general in-service training of Sunday school personnel.

Secular education is constantly striving to improve its academic standards. Christian education is becoming more aware of the need to improve its standards, but still there are areas of training whose resources have been barely tapped.

The work of Sunday school is maintaining by lay members who voluntarily give of their time and effort for the cause of Christ and the church. Many of these …

An Evangelical Approach To The Problem Of Knowing And Doing The Basic Principles Of Christian Conduct, Roland R. Strutz

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

In the declaration of Jesus, at the conclusions of His great Sermon on the Mount, there are two words that merit special attention, "heareth" and "doeth". The problem of determining right and wrong is of an extremely serious nature because few people recognize the contrast between the secularized standards of the age and the moral principles of Christianity. In America particularly, both those in the church and those outside its fold harbor the vague illusion that the common life of man is Christian. This should be problem enough. Yet it is with deep concern that this author has noted definite …

The Pastor's Responsibility In Training The Sunday School Superintendent, Delbert M. Keller

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

During the past few years, this writer has become interested in studying in the area of Christian Education. This study has brought about a keen awareness of certain practical problems pertaining to such education in general, as well as awareness to specific needs in the Sunday school as it exists today. The Sunday school has always been staffed with willing workers who are aware of the importance of this organization in the total program of the church. These willing workers have done what they find they are able to do, and God has blessed them for their efforts. It is …

An Examination Of The Junior Church And Corporate Worship As Methods Of Training Children To Worship, Allen C. Odell

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Today a great deal of discussion is going on among church leaders as to the value of graded worship as a means of training children to worship. This discussion is not new for as early as 1872, the question of graded literature came up. At the turn of the century the public school system began to place greater emphasis on grading and educational psychology. This stimulated a change in religious education from a Sunday School that had everyone in the same room using the same literature to a departmental Sunday School. The departmental Sunday School divided the children into age …

A Historical Study Of The Missionary Work Of Dr. George W. Butler And An Analysis Of His Influence On Brazil, David Gueiros Vieira

Master's Theses

In August of 1954,many people were astonished to read that the new president of Brazil, Cafe Filho, was a Protestant. When this occurred, it was scarcely known outside of Brazil that the influence o.f the Protestants there is greatly out of proportion to their numbers.

It would be an almost impossible task to try to trace from the United States, the development of the whole Protestant movement in Brazil. Therefore, this writer has limited the scope or this paper to a scant survey of the beginning of the Protestant missionary work in Brazil, and more particularly to a thorough study …

Law-Gospel-Oriented Preaching In Martin Luther's Theology Of Preaching, Chul Hwan Kim

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The Goal of this thesis is to study Luther's theology of preaching. As we have already seen above, the first chapter outlines the world of Luther's preaching. The second chapter explores Luther's preaching, focusing on his specific concern for preaching. In it, we can see that Luther regards preaching as the oral Word of God. Luther believes God is speaking when the preacher preaches. This chapter will show us that Luther's understanding of preaching is concentrated upon the Lord, Christ who is the content of Gospel.

An Analysis Of The Confessionalism Of Edmund Schlink, Based On His “Theologie Der Lutherischen Bekenntnisschriften,” Together With A Translation Of The Original German, Herbert Bouman

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This present study is concerned with the last-named work and grew out of long pre-occupation with the task of producing an English version. The importance of Schlink's book has been widely recognized in Lutheran circles. To make it available to additional thousands of English-speaking Lutherans who are not able to make full use of the material in its original German, the work of translation was begun by the late Paul F. Koehneke of Milwaukee, and after his death, carried forward to completion by the present writer.

This essay proposes to subject Schlink's theology of the Lutheran Confessions to a critical …

Operations Of The South Atlantic Blockading Squadron Under Admiral Dahlgren 1863-1865, John Joel Culley

History ETDs

The intent of this thesis is to examine the activities of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron in its joint operations and maintenance of the blockade, to consider to problems involved, and to evaluate the results. For the purpose of this study, a period of time has been chosen which covers approximately the last two years of the war, from July 1863 to April 1865. There are several reasons for limiting the study to this period of time. To begin with, an attempt to cover the activities of the squadron during the entire war would be too ambitious an undertaking for …

A Study Of Christian Praise, Ronald Gene Debock

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The function of praise has taken so many forms that its place in theology today is unclear. In some circles within the Christian framework it seems to this writer to have been almost unwanted. On the other hand, some of the more exaggerated forms of praise have been associated with emotionalism. The Christian believer who seeks a proper balance in this regard, whether in his private worship or in the worship services of his local church, needs to understand the scope of Christian praise as it is taught in the Scriptures and in common experience.

A Survey Of Adult Membership Training Experiences For Evangelical United Brethren, Frank W. Wooldridge

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Hardly a week passes in most communities surrounding a major metropolitan center that a new family does not move into town. No longer does the cleric or lay worker need to look to distant fields for those who are not being challenged by the Gospel. As they came into the new community, they brought in addition to their household goods, their former church attitudes. They were Baptists, Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, Nazarenes, Penticostals, and Presbyterians. When they moved into the community served by the Evangelical United Brethren Church, they became the responsibility of the local church in that community.

Actuality And Realism In The Poetry Of George Crabbe, Gerald Meredith Garman

Master's Theses

It ia a generally accepted fact among critics that George Crabbe was a realist. It will be the purpose of this paper to examine this conclusion for its validity. More exactly, I shall compare the poetry of Crabbe with the historical records of his era and measure how closely Crabbe came to reproducing, realistically, his own times. The paper is really a study of Crabbe's realism as reflected in his poetry with a view toward questioning the verdict of the critics.

In this work I have attempted to dispel several misconceived notions about Crabbe's poetry, but the general conclusions will …

The Portrayal Of Historical Character In Browning's Poetry, Claudius Williams Griffin

Master's Theses

Robert Browning is one of the most popular of the English poets, in his day and ours. There are Browning Societies and Browning lovers all over the world, from England and America to Africa and South America. He is also popular with scholars. There are at least twelve biographies, three handbooks to interpret his poetry, and six or more collections of his letters to his wife and friends. What accounts for Browning's popularity? He was not a lyric poet like Shelley, nor was he a nature lover like Wordsworth. Much of his poetry is difficult and requires careful reading. Some …

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889), Helen Levine Berkowitz

Master's Theses

Gerard Manley Hopkins' reputation as a poet has been almost wholly posthumous. He did not "arrive" in a critical way until the l930's when interest seemed to be centered more on the religious implications of his work than on the poetic. Today we are beginning to accept Hopkins as a major poet and to assess his virtues and limitations somewhat more objectively.
