Buggs Island Dam, First Of The Roanoke River Projects, Jayne Hathaway Cosby

Master's Theses

The purpose of this paper is to give a comprehensive pic­ture of the history, setting and effects of tha Federal Dam now being constructed at the site of Buggs Island in Mecklen­burg County, Virginia, In writing this assay I have attempted to bring out the historical and evolutionary aspects of the dam rather than the technical aspects of its construction.

The completion of this dam at Buggs Island and the sub-­sequent flooding of this area will mark a great step forward in the history of both Virginia and North Carolina. Many controversies still rage around its construction. The final outcome …

A Study Of The Metaphysical Categories Of Charles Sanders Peirce, Oscar Edwyn Luttrell

Master's Theses

Little is known about the life of Charles Sanders Peirce and perhaps even less about his system and place in the history of American philosophical thought. Somewhat superficially we recognize that he influenced the pragmatism of William James, but even here, were the facts known, the influence would be exceedingly remote, owing to James's own misinterpretation of' Peirce's leading ideas. Prof. Perry says that: "Perhaps it would be correct, and just to all parties, to say that the modern movement known as pragmatism is largely the result of James's misunderstanding of Peirce." James himself at one time stated that Peirce …

The question which the writer has undertaken to answer in this thesis is this: How does the Revised Standard Version of the letters of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians compare with the Authorized Version or sixteen-hundred eleven, commonly called the King James Version, as an English translation suitable for public and private use by the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod?

The Shekinah Concept In The Biblical Era, Horace D. Hummel

Bachelor of Divinity

In brief, the problem, common to the Old Testament, as to all other religious and to all except atheistic philosophies, is that of God’s transcendence vs. His immanence. If God is the Creator, the Absolute, the Prime Mover, what contact, if any, can He have with the created, sensible universe? If the pantheistic solution of identifying creator and creation is rejected, some degree of divine transcendence must be predicated. If He is transcendent, how will he reveal Himself to mankind? Through intermediaries, or by self-revelation; and, if the latter, by theophany or incarnation?

A Study Of Αιωn In Paul's Epistles, G Waldemar Degner

Bachelor of Divinity

There are chiefly three purposes in this study. The first is to gain a better understanding of the Scriptures. To achieve this purpose an individual word has been selected, since it is the author's opinion that such a study will contribute most to a conviction of the unity of the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments and at the same time facilitate efficiency in handling certain basic mechanical tools for further the future studies, such as the concordances, lexicon, and commentaries.

The Meaning Of Κοινωνεω In Galatians 6:6, Karl F. Breehne

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem treated in this thesis arose in an exegetical course on the Epistle to the Galatians when a sharp divergence of interpretations was noticed among several commentators who were consulted in collateral reading. Luther, L. Fuerbringer and William Arndt (the last two in class lectures at Concordia Seminary) held what may be termed the traditional view. According to this view the passage calls for material support of the ministry on the part of the parishioners. It is in this sense, too, that the passage is ordinarily explained in the exposition of Dr. Luther's Small Catechism under the Third Commandment.

Amerindian Creation Myths And A Common Tradition, Robert L. Lail

Bachelor of Divinity

Thus the reader has been led to the subject of this thesis. He is aware of a universal consistency of beliefs. It is quite evident that there is a likeness between these beliefs and the accounts of Scripture. The reader is also aware of the fact that there is a difference of opinion among students of anthropology concerning the origin of these similarities. With this overall view in mind, the author has decided to limit the investigation to creation myths, and, with these, the concept of a Creator-God. The author has limited the thesis further to myths and fragments of …

The Resurrection Of The Body In Its Significance For Sanctification, Paul Single

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the purpose of this paper to consider the import of the placement of the resurrection of the body into the Third Article of the Creed, showing the significance which the resurrection of the body has for sanctification. In order to do this it will be necessary to trace the importance ascribed to the body from the creation of man at the beginning of the world to the final consummation in heaven. It will be shown that the body is included in the eternal purpose of God and in His acts concerning man, and it will be pointed out …

Luther And Calvin On The State And Heretics, Henry W. Reimann Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

In history it is equally important to trace the background of any person, event, or movement. The revelations of the scholarship devoted to the study of the young Luther are evidences of this. The problem of this paper also has a background. That background is the Middle Ages. Both Luther and Calvin were to some extent products of the Middle Ages.

An Exegetical Treatment Of I Timothy 2:9-15 As It Pertains To The Privieges Of Women In The Church, William Goerss

Bachelor of Divinity

But for now the subject of this paper necessarily was limited to exegetical study of I Timothy 2:9-15 which is one of the focal points under discussion in the practical discussions revolving around the privileges of women in the church. It should be borne in mind that this is but one phase of a complex responsibility. This paper in no way seeks to answer all the problems involved, nor to draw accuracy on all points from the confusion, nor to formulate any direction for every practical situation in the world of today. That would be impossible on this level even …

The Tree Of Life Symbol; Its Significance In Ancient American Religion, Irene M. Briggs (Woodford)

Theses and Dissertations

Not too much is known today about religion of ancient Mesoamerica, and it will only be through an intensive comparative study of the various deities as presented in the heiroglyphic manuscripts and native writings, and of the symbolic religious art in the architectural and sculptural remains, that greater knowledge of the subject will be gained. The "Tree of Life," one of the most striking religious symbols of the area, may be one key to such knowledge.

The Defensor Pacis Of Marsilius Of Padua And Its Relation To The Reformation, August Bernthal

Bachelor of Divinity

Any event in history that is linked in either a small or large way to the Reformation demands investigation. In examining the causes and the background of the Protestant uprising in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; historians usually make mention of the Defensor Pacis written by Marsilius of Padua in 1624. Some make much of it. Others ignore it. Yet the Defensor Pacis, directed as it is against Pope John XXII, remains the most daring and the most independent ecclesiastic-politica1 work of the entire medieval period. Whether this document in any way influences the Reformation this thesis will endeavor to …
