Thomas A Becket In English Drama, Rita Jean Hennessey

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to discover how con­sistent the treatment of the character of Thomas a Becket by three authors of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries -- Douglas Jerrold, Alfred L. Tennyson, and T. S. Eliot--is with the historical figure of Saint Thomas.

The method pursued in discovering this is first, to establish the historical figure of Thomas through the use of authoritative historical sources and second, to discuss how his figure is revealed in the plays, "Thomas a Becket" by Douglas Jerrold, "Becket" by Alfred Tennyson and "Murder in the Cathedral" by T. S. Eliot.

A Specific Study Of The Magna Charta Of King John, Alexander Lakes

Bachelors’ Theses

This is far from being the first treatise on the Magna Charta. Many books have been written and much research work has been done to gather new data concerning the essence of that immortal document. And still the work regarding its birth and survival goes on. It was only recently that the English people were shocked, out of their usual complacency by the press announcement of the proposed sale of the meadow called Runnymede on the Thames near Staines. The sacredness of that tract of land was not realized until it was brought to the sense of honor of the …

The Missionary Method Of Paul As Demonstrated In The Book Of Acts, William Graumann

Bachelor of Divinity

This topic will be discussed under a survey of the passages in the Book of Acts, showing the direct reference to methods where that is possible, and pointing out the implications where the methods are not directly stated. In connection with this we wish to make applications to our own missionary methods, which we feel should not only increase our zeal for missions, but should enable us to bring the Gospel in a more effective way to more souls.

The Concept Of God's Holiness According To The Old Testament, Victor Schulze

Bachelor of Divinity

For all practical purposes there are but two ways or thinking about God. The one is based upon Divine revelation, the other spun from the speculations of men. Unprejudiced thinkers may find God's creative activity revealed in the works of nature, His righteousness in the moral law engraved into the heart of every mortal. And, finally, God is revealed in Scripture as possessing both personality and attributes.

Alleged Anachronisms In The Pentateuch, Eugene Bertermann

Bachelor of Divinity

The history of Pentateuchal criticism shows that the importance of the postmosaica has long been widely recognized. On these alone Rabbi Aben Ezra based his doubts of the integrity of the Pentateuch. In the seventeenth century Peyrerius, Spinoza, and Hobbes again advanced only the postmosnica in their attacks on the Pentateuch, although we suspect that they were motivated ultimately by more sinister motives than a desire to find out the truth in these passages of Moses. Clericus goes a step farther and acknowledges the validity of two arguments against the Pentateuch, that of style, as well as the anachronisms. But …

The Servant Of The Lord In Isaiah Fifity-Three, John Paul Uhlig

Bachelor of Divinity

Who is meant in chapter fifty-three? Critics have split into many camps. Some hold that Isaiah is speaking of all Israel; some, that he designates only the pious in Israel; while certain ones hold that the prophet is speaking of some individual. The Christian Church has, however, from the very beginning held that Isaiah is speaking of the Messiah. And that this is the true interpretation is pointed out at length in the following chapters. In one section of sixteen verses the evangelist of the Old Testament points a picture of the work of Christ. His humiliation is stressed as …

Die Selbstbezeichnung Jesu Der Menschensehn, Werner Wadewitz

Bachelor of Divinity

Der Zweck, das Ziel und die Aufgabe dieser Arbeit besteht darin, die Selbstbezeichnung Jesu: "der Menschensohn", zu eroertern nach allen den Seiten hin, die Licht darauf werfen koennen. Dabei ist gleich von vorn herein zu beachten, dass die Bezeichnung an sich ganz klar ist, denn die Worte an sich stellen kein Problem dar und bieten keine Schwierigkeiten. Worum es sich aber hier vor allem handelt, ist die Entzifferung und Deutung des Ausdrucks. Und hier treffen wir auf Schwierigkeiten, die auf sehr Tersehiedene Weisen angegriffen und geloest wurden Ton Auslegern aller Art, vom Konservativen bis zum Radikalen. Werden wir nun auch …

The Sola Scriptura With Special Reference To The Denial By The Methodist, Quakers, And Swedenborgians, Harold Merklinger

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is once more to establish the doctrine of the Sola Scriptura, to prove that Holy Scripture alone and nothing else can be made the basis of Christian doctrine and practice. Then it will be shown how three of the eighteenth century enthusiastic bodies-the Methodists, Quakers, and Swedenborgians--deviate from this doctrine.

A Critical Analysis Of The Principal Sermon Methods In The Lutheran Church, Adolph Meyer

Bachelor of Divinity

It goes without saying of course, that there can be no good preaching without the aid of God's Holy Spirit. At the same time we must admit that human frailties in the preacher may hinder the work of' the Spirit, and it is in the sense or overcoming such human shortcomings that we speak of "securing good preaching" and "making good sermons." The three requisites for good sermonizing are: a thorough study of' the text, a good outline, and good delivery; neglecting any one of these will result in poor preaching," Dean Fritz. In our present discussion we will confine …

The Age Of Louis Xiv, Floyd Ronzani

Bachelors’ Theses

The illustrious age of Louis XIV has always been a source of vast material for those historians who take interest in dealing with it. Voluminous works have attempted to portray the many phases of human activity that is identified with the period of the Grand Monarch. From the French Court, at the time the Absolute Monarch was destined to supremacy, there came progressive measures, especially in the humanitarian spheres of Politics, Art and Literature, all of which contributed to the adventure of releasing creative ideas from the great minds of the Age. With evidence of brilliancy in the period, the …

The Life Of Samuel Mathews, Edward Jefferson Clary

Master's Theses

My purpose in writ1ng this paper came from the realization that the activities or many prominent men in the Colony during the early period of Virginia's history have been neglected by all historians. Realizing this fact, I am writing this paper with the purpose of better understanding and appreciating more the work which these men did. Samuel Mathews was the most prominent of these men and by looking at his life and activities, we can fully realize and appreciate the work which these men did. By looking at the life of Mathews, we can understand this whole period of Virginia …

The Fur Trade West Of The Mississippi River Exemplified By Jedediah Smith, Robert George Wilke

People do unaccountable acts and to such I lay the choice of my thesis. Primarily the subject deals with Jedediah Smith a private fur trader, but the paper also includes several features of the fur trade as a whole. A scattered glimpse of the trade in its entirety is revealed to-gether with a brief snatch of the lives of several individuals who wrote their achievements in its history. There is a sketch of John Jacob Astor, the fur capitalist, of General William Ashley, the trader - business man, of the glamorous Manuel Lisa who pioneered the early Missouri Fur Company …

A Comparative Study Of Jane Austen And Francis Burney, Monica Rose Schumaker

Bachelors’ Theses

The moral and intellectual background of the eighteenth century readily divides itself into two periods: the first from 1700 to 1760, is characterized as a time of unabashed indecency, political intrigue and tyranny; from 1760 to 1800 we have a period depicting a slow but clearly perceptible change in personal, social and public ideals.

A Philosophical Delineation Of Some Of The Juridical, Political, And Economic Problems Arising During The Period Of Discovery And Nationalization, Daniel Shea

Bachelors’ Theses

We find in Tennyson's Ulysses a prototype of the typical adventurous man of that glorious Spain of the Age of Discovery: the Spain from whose shores, not only the stern and practical Columbus set sail, but also the romantic and adventurous Spain of Ponce de Leon whose search for the elusive Fountain of Youth culminated in the discovery and exploration of the hitherto unknown Florida which now, by some strange paradox, has become the fountain of youth for modern business worried de Leons. Spain indeed, during her Golden Age, did not "rust unburnished not to shine in use". Her ships …

The Fall And Rise Of Poland (1772-1918), Jerome Joseph Pelkowski

Bachelors’ Theses

Poland's impatience during the period of her decline had made her the tool of foreign powers, a pawn in the game of European diplomacy. The part that Russia played in the Seven Years Nar and the War of the Polish Succession made her the predominant power in Poland. Empress Catherine the Second of Russia knew how to make the most of that position. Of great ability and boundless ambition, it was her dream, by the conquest of Poland, Sweden and Turkey, to make of the Baltic and Black Seas Russian lakes. The Seven Years War, she thought, had put the …

The Attitude Toward Nature In Eighteenth Century English Poetry, Julien Pontier

Bachelors’ Theses

Philosophy tells us that many arguments and seeming differences of opinion may be avoided if the parties involved would simply define the terms of the question under discussion. It will, perhaps, be well then to follow this advice in the treatment of our subject which is Nature as it is found in eighteenth century English poetry. Just what terms then must be defined or made clear? Nature as it is expressed in poetry must be defined, but along with it must also be defined, if possible, the two rather ambiguous terms classicism and romanticism. What relationship, it may be asked, …

Bertrand Russell’S Philosophy Of Marriage And The Family, Russell C. Williams

Bachelors’ Theses

It may be of' interest to some to know why the philosophy of Bertrand Russell was selected as a subject for a study of' the problems of marriage and family. For the past two years, it has been a problem with me to know what the reasons are behind the apparent widespread immorality of the present day, and to know whether this immorality was caused by the spread of a new philosophy, or was a result of' indifference within society itself.

La Signification Des Romans De Francois Mauriac, Frank James Bartz

Bachelors’ Theses

En bornant l’action de presque tons see romans, à l’égard du local, au département de la Gironda, François Mauriac s'assure de ce qu'on n'aura jamais lieu de lui accuser manque de connaissance intime des hommes et des moeurs qu'il y peint. Girondin de naissance et d'éducation, il sait par excellence reproduire la vie des vieilles familles provinciales, d'entre lesquelles il choisit la plupart de ses personnages. Alors même que la scène se passe à dietance de ce département, ceux-ci restent Girondins, au moins d'origine. Un critique, comprenant bien que Mauriac est plus fort quand il décrit son département natal, a …

Napoleon The Man And The Napoleonic Legend, William Jennings

Bachelors’ Theses

Napoleon Bonaparte entered upon the stage of French history during a period of unrest. The French masses had overthrown and beheaded their Bourbon king. They were trying new theories and fine-spun doctrines or government. Human selfishness made many or these ideal forms of democratic government failures. European royal governments looked with alarm at these (New Deal) governments, and were waiting at a moments notice to crush the French nation and replace the government with that of a king. France was looking for a leader like the type of Napoleon. Whether it were accidental or through courage or perseverance, we find …

Euthanasia Or Mercy Killings, George Joseph Nicoud

Bachelors’ Theses

In this modern and changing world new problems are constantly arising and older ones are being dispensed with. Man has to adapt himself almost daily to changing and more complex situations. The world has advanced to such an extent that in this present generation we are known as "human machines" rather than human beings. Men are worked until they drop off from the strain or they work until they are broken, decrepit old men, no longer a use to anybody and a burden to almost everybody. As our modernity progressed, so also did conventions and ideas. Ideas of morals changed. …
