The Transition From German To English In The Missouri Synod From 1910-1947, Paul T. Dietz
Bachelor of Divinity
One of the features that marks the Missouri Synod is the fact that for a long period of time it has been able to retain the German language. For years it has held to the German language as a defense against liberalism and rationalism.
The Spheres Of Action Of The Inquisition In The Counter-Reformation, Paul E. Krohn
The Spheres Of Action Of The Inquisition In The Counter-Reformation, Paul E. Krohn
Bachelor of Divinity
In this paper, we will endeavor to set down the special spheres of action of this institution in regard to the quenching of various heresies which arose within the church. As we refer to the term heretics at various times, let it be understood that we are viewing people as heretics as those who deviated from the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. This will be done only for the sake of clarity, not to prove that they were either wrong or right in their beliefs.
The Eucharistic Prayer- Its Use And Development, Henry C. Dequin
The Eucharistic Prayer- Its Use And Development, Henry C. Dequin
Bachelor of Divinity
The Eucharistic Prayer was originally the chief and only prayer in the liturgy; it was “the heart of the liturgy.” It derives its name from the fact that Christ “gave thanks" when He instituted the Lord's Supper. Thus it is a prayer of thanksgiving at the celebration of the Blessed Sacrament which states the meaning of the Eucharistic action, "Do this." "Since this prayer was originally ‘the' prayer, the only prayer in the whole rite. It was there that the whole meaning of the rite had to be stated, if it was to be put into words at all in …
Psychology In The Service Of A Lutheran Pastor, Alfred A. Bodtke
Psychology In The Service Of A Lutheran Pastor, Alfred A. Bodtke
Bachelor of Divinity
Every pastor ought to have some knowledge or psychology. It is true, a pastor is first and foremost a theologian. As a theologian he must learn rightly to interpret the Divine Word and bring its precious truth to the people under his care. In doing this, the pastor through God's grace and help is benefiting his people for time and for eternity. If in addition to being a good theologian, a pastor knows some or the most important principles of psychology, he will the better be able to apply this Word of God, especially so in the case of such …

The Founding And Early Development Of The Lutheran Philippine Mission, John G. Scholz
Bachelor of Divinity
As the title indicates, this thesis represents an attempt of the writer to set forth clearly the events which lead up to the founding and early development of the Philippine Mission.

The present study of the Lutheran Philippine Mission will take the reader up to the end of December, 1951.

The Concept Of Sin In The Old Testament, Holland H. Jones
The Concept Of Sin In The Old Testament, Holland H. Jones
Bachelor of Divinity
The fact that the invitation to believe is always prededed, in Scripture, by the call to repentance reveals the necessity for an extensive knowledge of sin and it consequences. Scripture teaches that we must be conscious of and sorry for our sins before we can be drawn to the Gospel of Christ.
Epicurean Catchwords In The Letters Of Saint Paul, Eugene Walter Nissen
Epicurean Catchwords In The Letters Of Saint Paul, Eugene Walter Nissen
Bachelor of Divinity
By way of an historical survey of Hellenistic Greece and of Epicurean expansion, coupled with a comparison of Epicurean and Pauline teaching, this thesis will attempt to show that it is not only possible but very probable that Epicurean catchwords do exist in the writings of St. Paul, and that such terminology was emptied of its former connotation, refilled with Christian meaning, and redirected against the Epicureans.

Animism In Africa, John Louis Konz
Bachelor of Divinity

The Significance Of Baptism For The Christian's Faith And Life, Bernhardt F. Meschke
The Significance Of Baptism For The Christian's Faith And Life, Bernhardt F. Meschke
Bachelor of Divinity
The very fact that Christ instituted and commanded Christian baptism is already enough to make it necessary. However, Jesus never instituted anything just for the sake of instituting, nor did the Master command for the sake of commanding. Baptism was given for the benefit of sinners. It is our purpose in the following pages to show the significance of baptism for the Christian's faith and life.
The Natural Knowledge Of God As Revealed In Slovak Mythology, Jan Pavel
The Natural Knowledge Of God As Revealed In Slovak Mythology, Jan Pavel
Bachelor of Divinity
The natural knowledge of God has always been a subject of great interest for the writer of this thesis. Especially did this interest become pronounced when after engaging in many discussions with learned acquaintances, it became evident that philosophical proofs for the existence of God presented in a logical manner were the only arguments worthy of their consideration. It was with these objectives in mind that the writer approached his chosen topic: 1} to be prepared and qualified to convince genuine seekers after God; 2) to strengthen the faith of believers; 3) to enrich his own knowledge about the nature …

The Early Quaker Doctrine Of Communion In The Light Of The New Testament, Mahlon Leroy Macy
The Early Quaker Doctrine Of Communion In The Light Of The New Testament, Mahlon Leroy Macy
Western Evangelical Seminary Theses
Anyone offering something new in theology, new in philosophy, or new in science is leaving himself open to criticism. An organization which sets forth a point of view contrary to the traditional point of view may receive much condemnation. This was the situation with the early Quakers. Their Biblical interpretation of the doctrine of Communion was unlike that of the traditional views; therefore, it was questioned.

The Epistemology Of Kierkegaard And Its Relation To Dogmatic Theology, Clifford L. Brueggemann
The Epistemology Of Kierkegaard And Its Relation To Dogmatic Theology, Clifford L. Brueggemann
Bachelor of Divinity
It is the presentation and analysis of this epistemological viewpoint to which this paper is dedicated. What does it mean to know the truth, the Christian truth? How is this truth apprehended? What are the implications of this position for Christian dogmatics? The scope of this paper therefore is broad, too broad, really for adequate treatment in a thesis of this size. The paper does, however, try to cover the more obvious phases of this problem, and also to present as much of the background of the problem and of the man as is necessary to gain a reliable insight …
St Paul's Use Of Military Terms In His Epistles, Robert A. Hobus
St Paul's Use Of Military Terms In His Epistles, Robert A. Hobus
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis is not to show how Paul was influenced by the Gentile world into which he was born. The writer will not try to point out how the, intellectualism of· the Greeks and the materialism of the Romans influenced Paul in his theology. It will be taken as a positive premise in this thesis that Paul's theology was of divine origin, that his words were inspired words, that his teachings were from God instead of being a mixture of the best thoughts or philosophies that either of these civilizations produced. The fact that Paul was born …
Techniques From The Secular Fields Of Counseling And Psychotherapy Pertinen To Pastoral Care, Harold Irwin Haas
Techniques From The Secular Fields Of Counseling And Psychotherapy Pertinen To Pastoral Care, Harold Irwin Haas
Bachelor of Divinity
It is the purpose of the author to point out the theories and techniques from the secular fields of counseling and psychotherapy which seem to be pertinent to pastoral care. The author feels that psychological counseling has already reached a point where the ministry can no longer afford to ignore it. This paper, then, is an attempt to sustematize some of the better thinking which has been done in the field. It is the author’s hope that he may make some small contribution to the field of practical theology by passing on the results of his own investigation in this …
The Concept Of God In Chrisitian Science, George R. Kraus
The Concept Of God In Chrisitian Science, George R. Kraus
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose or this paper is, first, to examine Mrs. Eddy's concept in the light of Scripture and to prove that her concept of God is not Scriptural. In this connection it will be necessary to show how Mrs. Eddy uses Scripture passages in a metaphysical and even perverted manner to substantiate her claims. Secondly, we shall compare her concept of God with those or other religious and philosophic systems and demonstrate the falsity of her claim that her concept of of God is unique.

The Urban Church In A Transition Community, Vernon Roy Schreiber
The Urban Church In A Transition Community, Vernon Roy Schreiber
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of an urban community which is in the process of changing status upon the life of' a church in that community. To proceed in this study it was first necessary to establish the presence of distinguishable communities in an urban setting and to determine the pattern of change which might be present in such communities. However, before the role of the church in such communities could be examined, the writer felt it necessary to present a brief and admittedly incomplete study of urban social forces upon the individual. This procedure …

By this is meant simply the dramatization of Bible Stories (episodes from the Bible), and the expansion of individual Biblical Texts. This study will not include the strictly moral or ethical stories which are based on Biblical principles, but only those stories which have their foundation in Christ as the Savior from sin and the Author of the New Life.

The Concept Of The Kingdom Of God In Paul's Epistles, E H. Wildgrube Jr
The Concept Of The Kingdom Of God In Paul's Epistles, E H. Wildgrube Jr
Bachelor of Divinity
Unlike the English concept it includes the idea of reign. Many scholars hold that at the basis of the concept or basileia lies the idea of the Old Testament theocracy, in which God ruled over His people. This particular concept of the theocracy of the Old Testament is brought to the surface in I Samuel 8,7: "And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them."
The New Testament Concept Of The Personal Devil, John David Fritz
The New Testament Concept Of The Personal Devil, John David Fritz
