A Basic History Of Lutheranism In America, Lewis W. Spitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

Abdel Ross Wentz, the author of this book, may be regarded as the dean of historians of the Lutheran Church in America. Among the significant contributions to the history of Lutheranism in this country is his Lutheran Church in America History, the precursor of the present volume. His History of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Maryland and The Beginnings of the German Element in York County, Pennsylvania, have set a pattern for other historians, demonstrating the kind of work that must be done elsewhere before a final and comprehensive history of Lutheranism can be written. The same may be said …

A Study Of Hebrews 6:4-8, Herbert H. Hohenstein

Concordia Theological Monthly

Any effort to determine the relationship of this passage to the entire epistle must necessarily consider both the occasion and the purpose of the letter. There is one outstanding theme, the finality and perfection of the Christian religion. Christ, God's Son, has come down to give the climactic and clearest revelation of the God in whose bosom He has lain and to redeem mankind to this God whom He reveals. He who would hear this final Word of God must hear it in the Son. Not to listen is to die. Yes, to grow cold in attention to that Word …

The Lutheran World Federation, Gilbert A. Thiele

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the years immediately after World War I, tentative attempts were made to establish contact for purposes of fellowship and understanding between European, North American, Asian, and other Lutheran bodies in the world. The first real meeting of representatives of Lutheran churches throughout the world took place in 1923 at Eisenach, Germany. Here 160 delegates from twenty-two nations met August 19-24, 1923, in order to explore and express their unity of faith and spiritual kinship. The way for this gathering and all that followed from it "was prepared by the General Evangelical Lutheran Conference, which, although at first confined to …

L'Aspect Metaphysique Du Mal Dans L'Oeuvre Litteraire De Charles Baudelaire Et D' Edgar Allan Poe, Arnolds Grava

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

L'oeuvre litteraire de Poe et celle de Baudelaire ont ete l'objet de nombreuses recherches faites par des hommes de lettres et des critiques distingues tant en Europe qu'en Amerique depuis la seconde moitie du siecle dernier jusqu'a. nos jours. II est assez curieux de constater qU'aucune de ces oeuvres critiques n'a traite, du moins directement, Ie cote philosophique, c'est·a.-dire, les implications meta physiques de la production litteraire des deux poetes. Par-ci, par-Ia on peut trouver quelques chapitres, generalement trop courts, consacres a. l'etude plus ou moins approfondie, soit du satanisme baudelairien, soit de l'esprit de la perversite chez Poe. C'est …

The Synagogue And Its Influences, Daniel Brockhoff

Bachelor of Divinity

“Was the synagogue greatly influenced by the surrounding cultures in which it existed, and was the synagogue influential to any extent upon the surroundings in which it existed'?" The purpose of this thesis is to give some directives in order that a correct and factual answer might be obtained to those questions.

The History And Development Of The Hindu Scriptures, Robert John Fiore

Bachelor of Divinity

This study is designed to be an introduction to the Hindu Scriptures. As a by-product of this, it is unavoidably an introduction to Hinduism. As such, it should be used by the student as a stepping stone prior to branching out into the midstream of Hindu theology.

The Influence Of The Servant Songson The Titles Of Jesus, Harry W. Hoemann

Bachelor of Divinity

Not all of the titles of Jesus used in the New Testament are related to the Servant Songs. It is the purpose of this paper to examine those titles of Jesus used in the New Testament which have been influenced by the Servant Songs in order to determine the extent and significance of that influence.

Administrating The Church Toward Stronger Spiritual Relationships Among Its Members, Edward E. Busch

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to use these efforts: (1) to determine the New Testament pattern for the Church; and (2) how, in today’s world, one can administrate a congregation toward this pattern, that is, toward stronger spiritual relationships among its members. To do this, we must first clarify the factors which hinder attainment of this goal.

Promoting Congregational Public Relations In Public Press And Parish Journalism, Norbert E. Hattendorf

Bachelor of Divinity

This study will seek to look at the church's use of the public press and parish journalism in the light of good public relations.

Filing And Indexing Methods For Students And Pastors, Palmer G. Ruschke

Bachelor of Divinity

Since the average pastor has available no one qualified to assist him in this task, he must do most of it himself. Aside from the task of reading and evaluating printed materials, the pastor must find some way of storing these materials and organizing them so as to have available the materials he needs, when he needs them. Dr. Elgin S. Moyer, librarian at Moody Bible Institute, reports a comment from one of his professors, “There are two ways of securing the information we need; one, having it in our memory, and the other, knowing where to find what we …

The Place Of Fund-Raising In The Program Of Women's Organizations In The Lutheran Church, Philip C. Gehlhar

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis involves women's activity in the Lutheran Church. One purpose of the research is to show the Scriptural basis and standard for women's activity in organizations of the Church. Another purpose is to determine the place of buying, selling, or other money-making activities in such a women's program. It should answer the question: What should women's organizations be doing?

The Factors Of Attention In Preaching, Paul Andrew Boecler

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem that initiated this study centered around the importance that must be placed upon attention. If a man is to preach the Word of God he can do little if he does not have the attention of the listeners to his message. Even the correct doctrinal preaching of the Word will come to nothing if the message cannot gain the attention of the hearers.

A Study Of Jesus' Counseling Techniques With Individuals In The Gospel Of St John Chapters Three And Four, Edward A. Rauff

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem which this paper attempts to study and solve: Can the non- directive or psychanalytic approaches to counseling subtly presupposed in most counseling literature be the modus operandi of the Christian minister when these approaches are examined against the attitudes and methods of Jesus towards individuals as recorded in the Gospels, especially chapters three and four of St. John?

The Doctrine Of Sanctification In The Christian And Missionary Alliance, Raymond H. Davis

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is the will endeavor to set forth the official doctrine of the Alliance as it is found in the official documents of the Society and in the writings of Dr. Simpson and Dr. Pardington. We will look briefly into the background of these men, and will make an exegetical study of the Scriptures on which they based their doctrine. 1 will also endeavor to express the doctrine of sanctification that is being taught by those who do not hold to the views of Simpson and Pardington, as it is being taught in the majority of Alliance Churches today, …

An Historical Survey Of The Doctrine Of The Holy Spirit In The Old And New Testaments And Intertestamental Periods, Ralph Frederick Juengel

Bachelor of Divinity

Since the Holy Spirit is only referred to explicitly three times in the Old Testament, the reader is amazed that such a jump can be made by John, or Christ for that matter, when speaking about the Holy Spirit, without having to explain just whom they mean. The Jews never take issue with the term in the New Testament. Apparently there must have been some doctrine or teaching prevalent in Christ's day, upon which the fuller revelation is based. The problem of this thesis is to try and find a bridge for the gap between the periods. This demands a …

Aspects Of The Relationship Of Faith To Conscience In Luther's Sermons, 1528-1532, William Arthur Olsen

Bachelor of Divinity

A brief study revealed numerous examples of the close relationship Luther established between faith and conscience in both his formal theological writings and his sermons as they have come down to us. This thesis seeks on a 1imited scale to establish and delineate that relationship between faith and conscience in the theology of Luther.

Both terms about which the thesis revolves are very prominent in the writings of Luther. That “faith” is a decisive and frequently used word in his theology seems to require no documentation.

Christianity And The Mystery Religions Wit Special Reference To Mithraism, Edwin Lehman

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem of the relationship of the mystery religions to Christianity Is no mere academic question. While the common layman has very likely never heard of the mystery religions he at least has been indirectly influenced by thoughts which these re1igions have provoked. The entire modern school of liberal criticism is based to a greater or lesser degree upon the thesis that Christianity was merely an outgrowth of the mystery-religions, one which evolved to a higher degree to be sure, but one which nevertheless borrowed most of its theological content and form directly from the mystery religions. It is this …

Justification As Described In The Parable Of The Unforgiving Servant, Matthew 18:23-35, Ray Fred Martens

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper will then deal with a valid emphasis of the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. Nor will the emphasis of this paper be unique with this writer. It is an emphasis that has not escaped the writings of many interpreters.

The Colossians Heresy, Gabriel H. Mendelman

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis covers the main body of the letter to the Colossians. It contains no remarks on the greeting, 1:1-3, or on the highly personalized conclusion in chapter 4. The concern of the writer is with the polemical portions of the Letter. It has been examined under five headings: first, The Congregation is Faithful; second, The Introductory Prayer; third, The Positive Doctrinal Statement; fourth, The Direct Attack on the Errorists; and fifth, The Practical Exhortations.

The Anthropology Of Communism, Arthur Simon

Bachelor of Divinity

This essay is an investigation of the communist view of man and an attempt to indicate a few implications of the same for the Christian Church. The topic itself is a broad one. The available material, both primary and secondary, comprises too long a list for the research this writer was able to do. The bibliography will indicate, however, that at least some of the basic primary writings were consulted as well as a number of the better commentaries on communism.

The Concept Of Human Nature And Destiny In Recent Psycho-Sociological Studies, Paul Heyne

Bachelor of Divinity

The emphasis in this paper will be on the Neo-Freudians, the “psych-sociologists” who made use of Freud’s method and in the course of their investigation developed a concept of human nature radically different from his. The continuities will be stressed throughout, for this paper is intended to indicate the similarities and the differences between the “scientific” theory of human nature whose study Freud initiated and the traditional theory of Christianity.
