The Critical Study Of The Doctrine Of Baptism In The Catechism Of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, Richard George Maassel

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this study included an exegetical examination of the validity of the Scripture passages cited as proofs for the answers, a systematic examination of the questions and answers as to their doctrinal accuracy, and, to a lesser degree, a pedagogical study of the presentation as to its effectiveness.

The Concept Of Truth In The Gospel According To St. John, John D. Senter

Bachelor of Divinity

It is well known that the Christian religion offers an answer to the age-old question, “What is truth?" Perhaps it is not so well known that the answer which it gives does not have to be verbalized in such a way that "truth seems to be nothing more than an organized assemblage of highly abstract “concepts.” St. John managed to speak of the ultimate Truth of which Christianity speaks in such a manner that it is seen to be, as in fact it is, concrete, historical, and even personal, when he identified Truth with Jesus. Thus he also showed that …

The Limits Within Which Realized Eschatology May Find A Place In The Eschatological Reference Of The Johannine Corpus, Robert J. Werberig

Bachelor of Divinity

Our chief concern in this thesis will be to show by exegetical investigation that eschatological references in the Johannine Corpus bear witness to an apocalyptically conceived "eschaton," but include also such as may be designated as "realized," and that the distinction between these two must be maintained.

This paper proposes fundamentally to make a study of those passages in John's Gospel which have a bearing on the eschatological question and which demonstrate a distinct eschatological orientation and outlook both in the words of Jesus as recorded by John and in the thought of John himself.

The Synagogue As The Center Of The Sabbath Worship At The Time Of Christ, Gerald B. Wunrow

Bachelor of Divinity

The question which the writer has posed and has endeavored in some degree to answer in this study is: What was the synagogue like as a house of worship at the time of Christ? By way of shedding light on this question the study includes a brief survey of the origin and historica1 development of the synagogue, an examination of synagogue architecture in the early centuries of the common era, and a study of the Sabbath worship service as it probably took place at the time of Christ. The writer is fully aware that for want of exact historical and …

The Policies And The Practices Of Archbishop Laud, Stephan John Korinko

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this investigation was to discover, if possible, the actual policies and practices of William Laud while he was the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is unfair to have only accusations leveled against; Laud. It is, likewise, just as unfair to have only a glowing account of Laud 's life. For these reasons the writer has attempted to discover what the policies of Laud were concerning the church and the state, as well as his method and practice in applying these principles to the church of his day.

Naoε As A New Testament Figure For The Church, Maynard Dorow

Bachelor of Divinity

This thesis is a study of "temple" as a New Testament figure for the Church. The purpose has been to determine what this figure contributes to our understanding of the Church in the New Testament.

The Son And The Sons An Exegetical Study Of Hebrews 2:5-18, Edwin Lawrence

Bachelor of Divinity

The aim of the writer to present Christianity as the absolute revelation of God for the absolute satisfaction of man's needs, a new dispensation which gives final answer to the destiny of man in the person of Jesus Christ. This new dispensation is far superior to the old which foreshadowed it.

Reinhold Niebuhr's Concept Of The Church, David L. Luecke

Bachelor of Divinity

It is not the purpose of this paper to criticize or even evaluate the position of Niebuhr on the doctrine of the church. It is only an attempt to discover and describe what this position is.

Jakob Matthias Buehler: Conservative Missionary And Theologian, Eldon R. Stohs

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the paper is not so much to sketch a history, as to see whether the difficulties Rev. Buehler encountered were a result of his liberalism or conservatism.

A Theological Study Of Baptism And The Lord's Supper As Expressed At The Hanover Convention Of The Lutheran World Federation, Paul Martin Volz

Bachelor of Divinity

The study which here presents the theology of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper expressed at the Hannover Convention of the Lutheran World Federation is an outgrowth of the writer's concern to know what was said on theological matters by members of the Lutheran World Federation assembled in their first official convention as a federation of Lutherans.

An Investigation Of The Factors Of Persuasion In The Sermons Of Dr Walter A Maier, Lester Zeitler

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The scope of this investigation, however, is confined only to the preaching on the program; more exactly, the preaching of Dr. Walter A. Maier. The specific purpose is to search out those factors of persuasion in the radio sermons of Dr. Maier which may so largely help to account for his success in preaching the Gospel. The object is to figure out the secret of his effectiveness as Andrew Blackwood suggests: "Study the methods of the radio preacher whom your thoughtful laymen enjoy, and figure out the secrets of his effectiveness. You will find that he depends mainly on being …

Joachim Of Flora And The Eternal Gospel, Theodore Moeller

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Joachim of Flora is one of the most facinating characters to arise out of the Middle Ages. In the centuries following his death he has become almost legendary, for as one author puts it, "The story of Joachim takes us into the atmosphere of charming legend." His own contacts with our present age are numerous, and yet he has remained relatively unknown. Dante admired him, honoring him with lines in the Divine Comedy, George Sand based one of her romances, Spiridon his life, and the philosophers such as Schelling and Hegel pay tribute to his work. Certainly such a figure …

The Philosophical And Religious Background Of Athens As Reflected In The Areopagus Speech Of Paul, Carl Querbach

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The fundamental purpose of this thesis is twofold. In The first place, it intends to gauge as accurately as possible the extent and precise context of Paul’s employment of the philosophical and religious thought of Athens in his Areopagus address. Secondly, it intends to determine precisely what his goal was and how his method of approach was determined both by that aim and by the nature of his audience’s thought. In other words, this study will attempt to Show both which facets of Stoic, Epicurean and religious thought are reflected in the speech, and how Paul makes use of those …

With Christ The Union Of The Christian With Christ As Expressed By St Paul, Harold Scheibert

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The Suffering servant is a strange and fluid Old Testament figure. Sometimes it is clear that the Messiah is meant, but at other times the Servant apparently is Israel herself or the faithful Remnant. Thus there is a close connection and sometimes almost an identification between the Suffering Servant and Israel. There are many other starting points that we could find to examine the doctrine of the union with Christ, but in this thesis we are limiting ourselves to St. Paul’s statements using the preposition σν́ν.

An Exegetical Study Of St Paul's Concept Of Santification As Found In ἉδεάΖω And Ἁδεασμόs, Harvey Lange

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It might be well to emphasize the fact that this is an exegetical study of sanctification; therefore sanctification as defined in this paper may or may not always agree with the other uses of sanctification in different theological disciplines.

The Shepherd-Flock Image In The Old Testament, Carl Graesser

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This study therefore follows a more systematic method. We shall look at each side of the image, utilizing the pertinent material in the entire Old Testament before moving on to another side of the image. After a brief survey of the extra-biblical usage, the-following chapters will deal with Yahweh as a shepherd, Israel as his flock, other leaders who are named shepherd, and finally, the Messianic shepherd.

It will be noted that this study deals largely with the primary Biblical sources rather than with secondary sources. We were able to locate but three discussions of the subject at hand of …

The Way Of Salvation Under The Old Covenant As It Is Revealed In The Psalter, Richard Hoyer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It is not enough--if not untrue--simply to say that the faithful of the Old Testament were saved by faith in the Christ to come as we are saved by faith in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ who has come, without answering the- problems that their incomplete revelation raises. What exactly did they mean by “salvat1on?” If they knew of no heaven, was their concept of salvation limited to a deliverance from the evils of life or did it go beyond? What was the answer to sin? In what manner did they, or could they receive the mercy and forgiveness of …

Paul's Baptismal Theology With Special Reference To Rom. 6, Walter Keller

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The original intention was to undertake an exegetical investigation of this passage. However, it soon became obvious that, to understand the thought of the Apostle, it is impossible to confine one’s study to a simple passage. And so, though the original intention continued to remain the foremost concern, the problem assumed a broader scope, as the title of thesis indicates. Very naturally therefore, references to baptismal sayings outside the Pauline corpus lie outside the scope of this thesis, inasmuch as the purpose of the investigation is to ascertain the mind of Paul with regard to this sacrament.

The Theology Of The Wisdom Of Solomon, Walter Rast

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

We are justified in supposing that for a Jew, living in Egypt and yet preserving the foundation of his religious heritage, this problem was poignant indeed. And, at the risk of oversimplification, our writer's personal confrontation with Hellenism would seem to be his chief problem, and the problem at the bottom of our own quest into The Wisdom of Solomon. As an outgrowth of this problem, it would seem that the question underlying our concern with The·Book of Wisdom would be: How does this writing compare theologically with those which hold a safe place in the canon?
