The Origin And History Of Indulgences Up To The Time Of The German Reformation With Emphasis On Luther's Attitude Toward Them, Orval M. Oswald

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is being written with the hope of giving a clear and accurate account of the origin and development of the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Indulgence up to the time of the German Reformation, with particular emphasis on the effect it had on the people and Luther’s reasons for opposing it. Entire volumes have been written on the history of indulgences alone, and countless pages on their relationship to Luther' and the Reformation.

English Preaching Before The Reformation- A Historical, Structural, And Critical Survey, With An Anthology Of Sermons 950-1550, Theodore John Kleinhans Jun 1950

English Preaching Before The Reformation- A Historical, Structural, And Critical Survey, With An Anthology Of Sermons 950-1550, Theodore John Kleinhans

Bachelor of Divinity

Whatever the reasons for the lack of interest, this thesis intends to examine, evaluate, and summarize the status of early English preaching. It is novel in that it combines a resume of preaching with the actual sermons themselves. Part one explains how the preacher went about making his sermon, and what, when, where, and how he preached; Part Two elaborates these generalizations with specific sermons or excerpts, the headnotes explaining and highlighting the major features of an individual selection.

The Logos Concept Of Justin Martyr-Relation To The Person, The Natures, And The States Of Existence Of The Logos, Marcus T. Lang

Bachelor of Divinity

The main purpose, or course, of' the apologies in general, and of the use or the Logos concept in these apologies in particular, was to present to the unbelieving world a justification for the worship of' Christ by the Christians. Since the Logos concept was a current and accepted one in both the pagan and Jewish world, if it could successfully be identified with the person of Jesus Christ, a great victory would be won. And, to a large degree, that attempt was eventually successful, as Dean Inge points out when he characterizes the Logos-doctrine as "the formula which converted …

The Roman Catholic And Lutheran Doctrine Of Sin, Alfred Frank Volmer Jun 1950

The Roman Catholic And Lutheran Doctrine Of Sin, Alfred Frank Volmer

Bachelor of Divinity

However, while there are apparent similarities, it must be pointed out that the actual similarity or dissimilarity of churches does not consist in their external rites and ceremonies but in their teachings. Therefore, in order to get an accurate picture, it is necessary that we examine the doctrine of each church. However, since we cannot treat all the doctrines we shall take a basic one, namely, the doctrine of sin. The writer will attempt to set forth the official teachings of both churches on this one doctrine.

Research Studies In Religious Education, Louis F. Rush

Pastoral Counseling-, Karl A. Tubesing

It is the author’s fond hope that in some small way this thesis may help to accomplish this result. To this end this thesis is an attempt to define Pastoral Counseling as …

Paul's Treatment Of Error In Galatians, Frederick C. Hinz

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the present writer in this thesis has been to determine just how Paul went about treating and refuting the error. What were his arguments and attitudes over against his converts? His opponents? The error itself? Were his arguments sound and convincing? Does he leave room for compromise? To what degree does he allow his own self to enter the picture? In attempting to answer these questions, the writer has endeavored at all times to maintain objectivity except where a difference of opinion among leading commentators forced him to exercise selectivity. Detailed exegesis has been kept to a …

Macartney’s sermons meet the standards of purpose, of variety, of style, of peculiar characteristics as laid down by reputable homileticians and speech critics .

All other references to priests or priesthood are either to the priestly office of Christ or to Jewish and pagan priests.

The Election Of 1912 And The Progressive Party In North Dakota, Richard M. Norman Jun 1950

The Election Of 1912 And The Progressive Party In North Dakota, Richard M. Norman

Theses and Dissertations

The election of 1912 was one of the most colorful of all the elections held in America. This contest was more than just an election to elect a President of the United States; it was a struggle between certain elements -- progressive and conservative -- within the political parties themselves. While appreciating the nationwide contest between the parties, I have attempted to show how the national political picture influenced the political life in North Dakota. I chose this subject because I wished to find now the National Progressive Party, established by Theodore Roosevelt, affected North Dakota, the Rough Rider's adopted …

The Validity Of Conditional Prayer And The Providence Of God, Robert Spieler Jun 1950

The Validity Of Conditional Prayer And The Providence Of God, Robert Spieler

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the problem stated towards the end of' establishing unequivocally the fact that conditional prayer is a valid reality in the realm of God's providence. A solution of the problem is, of course, impossible on any other premises except those which are faithful to Scripture. It will be noted how the systems of rational philosophy serve only to establish the impossibility of reconciling the fact of God’s providence with the fact of conditional prayer. According to such systems, the problem is usually solved by denying either the reality of conditional prayer or …

The New Testament Concept Of The Son Of Man, John Fritz Jun 1950

The New Testament Concept Of The Son Of Man, John Fritz

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The term “Son of Man" was Jesus ‘favorite self-designation. It occurs approximately eighty times in the Gospel records. Though Jesus accepted as appropriate titles for Himself such terms as Messiah, Son of David, the Christ, the Son of God, He at times expressly called Himself the Son of Man in replying to those, who addressed Him with some other title (John 1:49 ,51; Matthew 18: 19, 20).

The Parenthesis Of Paul On The Status Of Israel In Romans Nine To Eleven, Erdmann Frenk Jun 1950

The Parenthesis Of Paul On The Status Of Israel In Romans Nine To Eleven, Erdmann Frenk

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

During the past few years and months, especially during the time the new Zionist state of Israel was being formed, much discussion has arisen regarding an age-old problem of an age-old people. Where do these people who have been the modern heirs of a tradition some thousands of years old fit into present-day civilization? However, for the Church, these external and secular happenings have served as a reminder of an even greater problem, namely, where does this people fit in spiritually? What is to happen to this tribe from which the Redeemer Himself stemmed? And this is no new problem, …
