Lutheran Hymns In English Translations, W Harry Krieger

Bachelor of Divinity

Nothing makes so forcible and lasting an impression as contrast, nor are truths taught more easily through the employment of another method of presentation. Perhaps, then, in prefacing a study of Luther’s hymns, no better means of evaluating the Reformer’s real worth could be used than a contrast of the German Hymnology of the Medieval Period with that of the Reformation.

The Hittites, Gerhard Lewerenz

Bachelor of Divinity

Evidence, however, has pointed to Asia Minor as their home, and when therefore in the nineteenth century monuments were found at Aleppo and Carchemish on the Euphrates, Hamath on the Crontes, and other sites in Asia Minor, Syria, Cappadocia, and elsewhere, - monuments of unusual style and with inscriptions written in unknown hieroglyphics, - it was natural to attribute them to this nation whose existence was known, but whose civilization had not as yet been uncovered.

The Minor Biblical Prereformers Of The Xv Century, Walter Litke

Bachelor of Divinity

We cannot speak of “Pre-reformers” unless we have a clear conception of the tem “reformation”. Too often we leave the Reformation historically unexplained as if it were a sudden upheaval in the life of the church, a change as sudden as the inversion of an hour glass. But no Reformer just drops from heaven. “In spite of its originality and freshness, the Reformation by no means interrupted the continuity of human affairs - on the contrary, it was, on the one hand, preceded and its way prepared by pious and enlightened men, who preached almost the very doctrines that distinguished …

Aspects Of Pragmatisim In Relation To Christian Theology, Frederick Gumz

Bachelor of Divinity

The pragmatism of Dewey and James is doubtless responsible to a large degree for the general tendency in modern theology of subordinating Scripture to the ends of practical life, and of accepting as true only those of its doctrines which can be translated into tangible consequences contributory to the welfare of society or the individual. Believing that theology in the past has been concerned too much with the mere “intellectual interrelations of certain concepts,” churchmen are today advocating a greater emphasis on the “functioning of the religious consciousness.” This movement has aroused a wide-spread aversion to doctrine and a passion …

The Doctrine Of Holy Baptism In The Pauline Epistles, Arlo Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose or this treatise is to show, primarily, that the doctrine which the Confessional Lutheran Church has taught concerning the Sacrament of Holy Baptism is the Scriptural doctrine as taught in the Pauline Epistles, and that the various errors of Enthusiasm on this point must be rejected as conflicting with the clear teachings of Paul, the great apostle.

The Bearing Of The Theory Of Evolution Upon The Chrisitian Doctrine Of Man, Theodore Martin

Bachelor of Divinity

Evolution is an attempt to explain present conditions. In reality it consists of a number of explanatory attempts, none of which are satisfactory. All involve change, a development of the simple into the complex. Evolution has been defined as a "change due to circumstances,” but this is only a part of the story. As it is generally understood, evolution means much more than this. It means a development in matter resulting from the action or forces resident in matter itself.

The Gnosticism Opposed And Condemed In The New Testament, Erwin Lueker

Bachelor of Divinity

It is our purpose in this thesis to trace the movement in the form in which it is opposed and condemned in the New Testament, and, if possible, find external information on these movements. Although many of the passages which condemn false teachers may have been written against gnostics, we shall deal only with those in which gnostic tendencies are revealed.

The Dispersion Of The Jews In The Western World, Paul Martens

Bachelor of Divinity

It is my purpose to show in what manner and to what extent these threatenings of the almighty God were pronounced upon his chosen people, the children of Israel, the Jews. We will consider their dispersion in the Western world. In the early centuries the Jews of Egypt, Palestine, and Asia Minor were called Western Jews in distinction from those who were carried away to Babylon and the plains of Assyria. According to the modern division, the Jews of Egypt, Judea, and Greece are included among the eastern Jews, in distinction to those of Spain, Germany, and England. We here …

De Quincey And The Lake Poets, Samuel Abraham Cohen

Master's Theses

I feel that an investigation into the friend­ ships between each of the Lake Poets and DeQuincey is worthwhile. The intercourse of these great personalities and the effects they produced on one another are sources of valuable information . It will be the object of this study to present the personal and social lives of the Lake Poets and their devotee, with a view of finding contributions and detractions made to each other by this association.

Ambrose Bierce, Walter Richardson Hudgins

Master's Theses

While Bierce is not a great writer, when compared with the really great, he has a peculiar fascination for a select group of readers. And his fame will live more by change than by any general public acclaim. Like many others, I first became acquainted with him purely by accident. Since then I have come to know him better through desire.

Of the scores of people I have asked to give their reaction to Bierce, scacely more than a half dozen professed any knowledge that such a person ever existed. This much I noticed: All of the people who knew …

Newman Under Foreign Skies, Mary Mirabella

Bachelors’ Theses

December 1832: That date marked the beginning of a memorable few months in the life of a colossal figure of the nineteenth century, John Henry Cardinal Newman-a figure scarcely possible of eclipse at any period and surely most outstanding at this particular epoch of the Anglican Church's history.

The Development Of The "Good Neighbor" Policy, 1920-1939, Sidney D. Palay

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this Thesis ·is to show how the official interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine has changed since the last days of the Wilson Administration; and how this change of interpretation on the part of the United States has changed the Latin American official and partisan outlook. And to show how various administrations backed up their interpretations with actions that worked either with or contrary to their original plans in respect to Central and South American relations. But before we consider all this we must see in a general survey just what things brought about the necessity of a …

Crossed Signals Off The Chesapeake, Roy M. Newton

Honors Theses

It was in the fall of 1781, over four years after the Declaration of Independence, that General Cornwallis surrendered his force at Yorktown, and American independence was realized. Yorktown is generally supposed to have been the decisive battle of the American Revolution, but it was the naval engagement off the Virginia Capes six weeks earlier, when the British fleet through a confusion over tactical signals, was driven away from the Chesapeake Bay, that actually decided the fate of the British forces in America. Had Adin.iral Graves taken advantage of his superior position when he encountered the Comte de Grasse, who …

Purpose Clauses In The Pauline Epistles, Herbert Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

A working knowledge of the Greek language is a very valuable asset to the minister of the Gospel, and has a rightful place in his professional equipment. It belongs to his tools. The better the tool, the more efficient will the workman be. The better acquainted the minister is with the. Bible, his One Tool, the more effective will his service be.

The Political Career Of Sir John Harvey : Governor Of Virginia From 1629 To 1639, Merrill R. Stewart

Honors Theses

Sir John Harvey first became connected with the colony of Virginia in 1623, when he was appointed to a commission to investigate the administration of the colony. James I, having had numerous disagreements with the London Company, owing to the subscription to a different political philosophy by its leaders, had determined to have the colony of Virginia for the crown. He used the fiction of colonial expansion to gain popular approval and bad administration on the part of those in control for his reason. The purpose of this board was to gain sane sort of evidence to give justification for …

After the completion of the tabulation of the words in the book, approximately six hundred ninety words appeared on the total list. From this list the words have been arranged as to their frequency of appearance. This arrangement has served …

Sixty Years Of Pioneer Catholic Education In Indiana 1789-1849, Winifred A. Galvin

Graduate Thesis Collection

Catholicism has existed in the territory now known as Indiana since the latter part of the seventeenth century.  Soon after the exploration of the Mississippi by LaSalle, in 1682, the government of France began to encourage the policy of establishing a line of trading posts and missionary stations in the country lying west of the Alleghany mountains.  Despite many obstacles missionaries followed these traders for a period of seventy-five years.  One of their early posts was established at Vincennes which was the center of activities for the first one hundred years of the institutional life of the Catholic Church in …

Lewis Addison Armistead, Flavius Burfoot Walker Jr.

Honors Theses

Lewis Addison Armistead is today chiefly remembered for one thing--the heroic charge of he and his brigade at Gettysburg. Where Armistead fell beyond the stone wall, also fell the hope, and yea even perhaps the independence of, the South
