The Use Of Hades In The New Testament, Louis Meyer

Bachelor of Divinity

The word hades (sheol) presents a problem--a matter on which the theologians or our own Synod are not agreed. Many of them believe that the word has various meanings--that in certain passages it means hell, while in other passages it has a general meaning, namely, "the state of death”. There are also those who are of the conviction that the term is never used to designate hell, the place of eternal punishment, but only means "the state or condition of death".

It is the latter view which, after careful study of the problem, I consider to be the more correct …

Demoniac Possession, Harold Maleske

Bachelor of Divinity

Among the many miracles which the synoptic Gospels record, special prominence is given to the casting out of demons or devils who possessed those unfortunate people commonly known as demoniacs. In order to clarify the Biblical concept of demoniac possession, the following facts concerning the Scriptural doctrine of the devil and his hosts must be considered.

The Prophecies Of Balam, Theodore Martin

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Balaam is known largely because of his connection with the story of the ass that spoke, and, while critics point the skeptical finger and rant against the incredible nature of the narrative, they make the usual mistake of drawing attention away from the important part, the prophecies, and centering it on one incident, which is perhaps more striking, although merely incidental.

History ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to identify indications of opposition to statehood within New Mexico between the years 1888 and 1902. The sources of information were newspapers of the territory published during those years, government documents, letters and several other miscellaneous sources.

The Final Years Of New Mexico's Struggle For Statehood 1907-1912, Dorothy E. Thomas

History ETDs

This thesis covers the final years of the struggle made by New Mexico to secure statehood.

The period prior to 1907 is touched upon briefly as it is necessary to have an understanding of the background of the fight in order to have clear the reasons for some of the later action. The entire statehood endeavor falls into three major categories: first, the period from 1849 to 1905 when desultory and intermittent efforts were made to pass a statehood enabling act; second, the legislative effort in 1906 to bring about jointure with Arizona and create one state, and, third, the …

Female Education As Reflected In Victorian Fiction, Mary F. Fields Beeler

Graduate Thesis Collection

Enduring literature is said to be an outcome of the times that produced it. Conversely, it may be said to be an open door into the life and place where it originated. Entering this open door into the Victorian period, it is my purpose to show to what extent one phase of that life is mirrored there.

The Oberlin Negro And His Church, Homer Julius Tucker

Honors Papers

This thesis is the result of a study which represents an interest in a group of ill-adjusted community churches. For a long time I have been interested in the Negro and his church life here in Oberlin. While the background out of which these churches grew and the environment in which they operate are superior in many ways to those of most communities, the churches themselves are definitely sub-model.

My ultimate objective has been to investigate the aforesaid topic with the hope of discovering problems that are preventing the churches from expanding and serving the community, as well as to …

Slave Life In Virginia Between 1736-1776 As Shown In The Advertisements Of The Virginia Gazettes, Florence Lafoon

Honors Theses

Newspapers are an invaluable index to a period and the personalized Virginia Gazettes are particularly revealing of the attitudes of the Colonial period. Although the advertisements for runaway slaves give more of the master's feeling for the slave than the life of the slave himself, it is hoped that the writer has sufficiently drawn forth the inferences toward this latter point to make all that is available clear. There are no copies of the Virginia Gazette between the years 1739/40 - 1744/45, and 1746 - 1766. This would make a great difference to a chronology of any kind, but the …

Silas Mitchell, Poet, Margaretha Strodthoff

Bachelors’ Theses

There was a man whose name was Luke. He was not a clergyman, he was a physician. He felt, however, that he had something to say about the Master which none of those other men had said. So he wrote the gospel of Luke, which many people regard as the best book in the Bible. "Many have undertaken to set forth in order the facts about Jesus Christ and it seemed good to me also to write", he said. There was another physician and "it seemed good to him also to write". This physician was Silas Weir Mitchell. He rose …

Fitzhugh Lee, Hunter W. Martin

Honors Theses

It might well note that Fitzhugh seems to be the last of his clan to demonstrate those qualities of leadership, which raise one above the common herd, for in a changing and growing America the family has today become obscure and from it has arisen no recent leader.

Public Life Of Peyton Randolph, Sidney Barney

Honors Theses

Randolph was a man well read in law, and a person whose opinions were often asked and highly esteemed. He was a very large and inert man and this fact caused him to get less business than he could have ordinarily obtained. Randolph was well read and up to date on all political affairs. While in office, he endeavored to carry out the duties to the best of his abilities, and his work was rarely criticized. A good example of his work and philosophy can be found in the Fredericksburg Resolutions of 1775, in which he laid down the principles …

Honors Theses

On a rural hillside overlooking the Boyds Corners Reservoir stands The First Kent Baptist Church. Kent Cliffs, the hamlet which it serves, is located in the western end of the town of Kent, in the approximate center of the county of Putnam, New York.

Here in the foothills of the Berkshires and fifty-two miles north of Columbus Circle in the heart of New York City, this rural church serves a community of approximately one hundred families. However, due to the influx of summer residents escaping the heat of the city, the population of Kent Cliffs more than doubles from June …

The Public Life Of Edmund Randolph, H. J. Gordon Jr.

Honors Theses

In this paper I shall make no attempt to treat any portion of the private life of Mr. Randolph. His family and domestic affairs will be ignored completely. Only those portions of his life spent in the service of the Commonwealth of Virginia, or the Federal Union shall enter into the reader's ken. And that story alone is long enough and distinguished enough.

We first encounter Edmund Randolph in this paper when he enters the Continental Army as Aide-de-Camp to General Washington, and part from his as he sadly pens his resignation from the office of Secretary of State. I …

The Physician In Shakespeare And Jonson, Eleanor W. Kahn

Graduate Thesis Collection

The science of medicine is probably linked more closely to the daily life of man than any other science. The sheer necessity of healing brought forth first remedies, and whether the art of healing was practiced by the wise-woman, the priest, or the medicine man, the practitioners of this art were undoubtedly a very important factor in the lives of their contemporaries.
