An Instrumental Music Method For Teaching Band Instruments In Classes In The Fourth And Fifth Grades, Robert A. Gantner

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The Basic Instrumental Method is an attempt to provide music materials suitable for the teaching of instrumental music to children in the grade schools using the class method. Four approaches have been used in developing this method. They are the following: (1) The selection of six basic instruments suitable for small children, (2) arrangement of the material in such a manner as to allow for individual advancement, (3) a well graded presentation of rhythmic problems, and (4) a recognition of the psychological value of motivation.

The Neo-Humanistic Criticism Of Irving Babbitt, Carrie Baier Mccoid

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This thesis is an exploration of the Neo-Humanistic themes in the works of Irving Babbit. The theories and criticism of this author may be studied through two approaches. A reading of his books and essays, which are copious and diversified, gives to the careful reader a firsthand introduction to his ideas. He has influenced the thinking of many literary men. From them, both his opponents and proponents, one may further study his theories. Much reading from both of these sources has been done by the writer, and the method used in arriving at conclusions has been largely one of comparisons.

The Influence Of Biblical Higher Criticism Upon The Life And Works Of George Eliot., William M. Stringfellow

English Language and Literature ETDs

It is the purpose of this study to show the influence of higher criticism of the Bible upon the life and works of George Eliot. The critical attitude toward the Bible was the first disrupting influence felt by the brilliant mind of George Elliot, and “it created a change amounting to a revolution in Miss Evans's life. This study proposes to show the change in George Elliot’s life wrought by her first contacts with higher criticism, to trace its influence upon her motives and actions, to show how and to what extent it influenced her philosophical and intellectual development, and …

The Ministry Of The Word According To Titus Chapter I, Gottfried H. Naumann

Bachelor of Divinity

All three of Paul's ''Pastoral Epistles" I and II Timothy and Titus furnish a wealth of material for the diligent study and restudy of the scriptural teaching regarding the Ministry of the Word. In this paper an attempt is made to treat exegetically on the basis of the original Greek the first chapter of Titus, all of which has direct bearing upon the doctrine of the ministry. Moreover the fifth verse of this chapter presents proof for the divine institution of a local ministry.

Economic Aspects Of Reformation, Robert Boedecker

Bachelor of Divinity

The economic developments which antedated and accompanied the Reformation are one phase of that movement's history. Their study is not a complete explanation. No Christian could consider such a view. Yet the economic activity of the Europe of that day did have its influence on the Reformation, while the Reformation, at the same time, left its mark on the future course of economic development. Though a minority would disagree, that interaction was inevitable and appears certain to our eyes. Nor did that come by chance. Though with less clarity than in former periods, yet it is apparent that the hand …

The Tabernacle Of Jehovah, Herman R. Mayer

Bachelor of Divinity

Perhaps some of the most neglected chapters in the Bible are those which give a concise description of the sanctuary. They are neglected by Bible readers and students alike. Many who read through the Exodus account find the subject matter lacking in excitement or too involved to give it a little thought. Even Bible students are inclined to read through this particular section in such haste that they remove every opportunity of giving the structure of the Sanctuary careful consideration. A study of the Sanctuary therefore should be a challange to every one who holds a claim on interest in …

The Concept Of Salvation In Mormonism, Ralph A. Plautz

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the thesis is to make clear the Mormon concept of salvation. The development of this concept necessitates a complete discussion of the Mormon philosophy of life. The thesis will show the unchristian character of this philosophy.

Shinto The Principle Of Japan, George Shibata

Bachelor of Divinity

Our thesis is: Shinto is the principle of the Japanese nation. It is manifested in the love of the people for the nation. As for the individual in his relationship to God, Shinto leaves the matter to each soul. But the two factors are so closely related that they militate against the successful introduction of Christianity.

Our study of Shinto will be, first of all, the consideration of the historical circumstances and influences in which Shinto developed. Then the traditional myths will be analyzed. Finally, the resulting State Shinto and the sectarian Shinto will be described.

A Bibliography Of The German Element In Latin America, Theo R. Crevenna

Latin American Studies ETDs

This bibliography is an attempt to list with as much thoroughness as possible all available material pertaining to the German element in Latin America. Undoubtedly no bibliography can ever be complete, and this one is no exception to the rule. Lack of easily available references as well as certain handicaps imposed by the uncertainties of army life have limited the completeness of this compilation.

A Survey Of The Life And Novels Of David Graham Phillips, Abraham Feldman

English Language and Literature ETDs

In the opening chapters I have tried to explain the development of Phillips' outlook. Then, I have endeavored to establish by analysis of every novel that he published just what is ephemeral and what is permanent in his work. The opinions of all important judges of the books, as well as the decision of many insignificant critics who reflect contemporary literary appetites, have been examined and balanced by each other. Sketches of the background against which Phillips struggled, the material and moral forces and cries of his age, are given with necessary details.

Pastoral Techniques In The Counseling Of Young People Preparatory To Marriage, Eugene Jobst Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is a divided into two main parts. The first part is a review of some of the main techniques for counseling in general. In addition to loving God and people, it is important that the pastor know something about the principles of counseling, if he wants to be adequate in giving help by counseling. The second part concerns the Biblical and pastoral aspect of marriage. In the second part the counseling techniques are applied specifically to pre-marital counseling by the Christian pastor.

Mysticism In Roman Catholic Theology, Elmer William Matthias

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is not to present an extensive survey of Catholic mysticism. The field is too broad to do that in a paper of this type. Only the salient features are mentioned with the view of presenting the fundamentals so that the working principles of mysticism are laid bare. With this object in mind the writer proceeded.

Habits And Practices Which Enhance Or Deter Effectiveness In The Pulpit, Earl Edwin Weis

Bachelor of Divinity

"A good speaker or preacher is born, not made." "You either have effectiveness or you don’t." Such statements are often made by students who fail to recognize the importance of developing themselves in the art of speaking, or by pastors who feel that they have no time for improving themselves in that matter of delivery. But it must be remembered that there is room for a great deal of improvement in every speaker. When the thought to be expressed concerns the soul-winning, redemptive news of God, it places great responsibility and privilege on the speaker.

Present Request For An Adequate Program Of Church Work Among The Youth, With Special Emphasis Upon The Returning Service Personnel, Robert Wudy

Bachelor of Divinity

We do not propose to give a complete outline, detailed in every respect, or what is to be done. The situation differs with every individual and community, not to say race and age. The purpose of this paper is to set forth the facts as seen in life, that we may all study them in their true light and consider them for what they are. There is nothing new and startling presented here, but the facts which have appeared time and time again do appear here.

Scenario Bible Stories Photographed In Color, Paul George Kiehl

Bachelor of Divinity

Producing Bible Pictures for church use is not the simple thing that it is generally considered to be. Snapping a camera on a round- the-corner set will not make for the quality and the kind of Bible pictures that the Church has a right to expect. The production of Bible Pictures requires careful planning and preparation followed by expert handling of characters, of costumes, camera and crew.

The Cosmology Of Scripture, Leander M. Waechter

Bachelor of Divinity

In these days of scientific consciousness a study of the cosmological teachings of Scripture should be or interest and value to the Bible student. For the average man of the twentieth century has a new measure by which he computes the value of all things, material, philosophical, or spiritual. Being taught from early childhood to think largely in the terms of science, it is inevitable that the modern man should reply to every problem which challenges his interest, "What does science say on the subject?"

The Jewish Marriage Customs At The Time Of Christ, Erich Henry Kiehl

Bachelor of Divinity

The family is “the primary social group and the wellspring of all civic and national life.” It is the basis of society. It conditions the moral health and tone of a nation, of an age. If the home is corrupted, the nation is on the way to destruction. To raise the moral standards of a nation we must begin, with the home. The future of a nation is conditioned by the homes that it fosters. The success or failure of a nation lies in the home.

Daughters Of Serbin, 1870-1905 History Of The Lutheran Churches At Fedor And Warda, Texas, Arthur C. Repp

Bachelor of Divinity

The history of St. Paul's congregation, as it was later called, with its doctrinal, racial, and language disputes, has already been told. But the story of its first daughters, the congregations which were organized at Fedor and Warde, Texas, is equally important for it shows how the parent and branch congregations influenced one another and how they in turn become one of the strong nuclei around which the present Texas District of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States was formed.

The Work Of The Holy Spirit According To Romans Eight, Robert Charles Stade

Bachelor of Divinity

A Survey Of Representative Lutheran Preachers Concerning Technical Language In The Exposition Of Selected Doctrines, Theodore W. Schubkegel

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to show that simple language is basic to all the excellencies of effective speech. Particular reference is made to the work of the preacher in the pulpit. The preacher must use language commonly understood, if he is to make himself understood, if he is to persuade, and if he is to move to action.

The Personal Wisdom In Proverbs Eight, Rudolph E. Honsey

Bachelor of Divinity

It will be the burden of this treatise to establish the fact that in the eighth chapter of the Book of Proverbs we have a direct reference to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This we shall do on the basis of six Hebrew expressions which occur in verses 22 to 31. Then we shall consider the appropriateness of the term תכהת, as well as related terms, as ascribed to the Son of God. Finally, we shall consider the Personal Wisdom as our comfort in life and in death.
