Two Legs To Stand On, John D. Mckee

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to present in autobiographical form some of the problems of the cerebral palsied and my own solutions to those problems.

I have not attempted to write a strictly chronological autobiography. Rather, I have attempted to make of each chapter a dramatic unit, using a problem or achievement as the central theme for each chapter and ranging forward and backward in time as the …

The Role Of Art In The Complete Development Of A Christian Personality, Sister Loretta Ann Mccarthy

Art & Art History ETDs

A survey of ancient literature reveals that art as an area in school life is becoming increasingly recognized as tremendously significant to a complete participation in the creative activities of life. A critical point has been reached in so far as art has begun to be recognized as an integral part of the school program rather than an educational frill offered for those students who have difficulty with the academic program or as a concession to the few talented students.

It is the purpose of this study (1) to outline briefly the theory of art education as applied to the …

For Christ Is The End Of The Law For Righteousness To Everyone That Believes Romans 10:4, Howard Raymond Hilsabeck

Bachelor of Divinity

Thus Christ did not end the law--period! In spite of the legalism in His and Paul's day and in spite of the prevailing idea of seeking righteousness by means of the law among the Jews, the apostle is not flatly declaring that Christ ended the law. It is the care of the writer to make this clear. It is also the intention of the writer to make clear what "law” in Romans 10:4 and in what sense Christ ended that law. Our investigation will Deal in depth with the words Τ́ελας and νόμος, bringing in δικουοσ́ννγ and πίστις as they …

Implications Of The Iconoclastic Controversy For The East-West Schism, Warren G. Rubel

Bachelor of Divinity

For nearly a century and a half (726-842) there took place in the Eastern Roman Empire what is termed the Iconoclastic Controversy. This controversy, concerning the use of the icon in the cultic life of the Church, not only contained elements which had significance for the development of the Eastern branches of Christianity, but also brought to a head factors which were to be contributory to the final breach between Eastern and Western Christendom. It is the proposed task of the present thesis to suggest and trace the possible causes and factors which crystallized in the Iconoclastic Controversy and which …

The Use Of The Old Testament In The Sermons Of Acts, Robert C. Schultz

Bachelor of Divinity

The Church’s attitude toward Scripture is reflected in its use of Scripture. This thesis is an attempt to discover the principles which controlled the early church’s use of Scripture. The investigation centers on three points: 1) the text of the Old Testament used by the early church; 2) the early church’s purpose in quoting Scripture; 3) generea1 principles of interpretation followed by the early church. The investigation is restricted to the use of the Old Testament in five sermons recorded in the book of Acts. Since the scope of the investigation is limited, only tentative conclusions can be obtained.

Marriage And Remarriage Of Divorced People, Arthur E. Graf

Bachelor of Divinity

No one will debate the fact that these topics touch the lives of all people who reach maturity; neither will anyone argue the point that many misunderstandings exist and much misinformation is disseminated on these subjects through the press, radio, movies, television, and even some churches. A study of these topics on the basis of God's Word is, therefore, very much in order. “It becometh you to hear what the Word of God teacheth concerning it.”

Hades The New Testament Equivalent Of Sheol, Louis A. Brighton

Bachelor of Divinity

The object of this paper is to show the relationship between the Old Testament word Sheol and its New Testament equivalent. The burden of this paper lies in the question: Is Hades the New Testament equivalent of Sheol? This paper then is a study of the words Sheol and Hades to see whether Hades in the New Testament is used in the same way and for the same meaning or meanings that Sheol is used in the Old Testament. This study will point out, besides the relations between Sheol, and its equivalent, the unity in the teaching concerning Sheol and …

The Return Of The Rachel- A Critique Of Melville's Moby-Dick, Kenneth Heinitz

Bachelor of Divinity

This critique is to clarify the relation of the ship Rachel to the rest of the story. The Rachel carries with it certain symbolical implications that have been neglected in in interpretations and criticisms of Moby-Dick. In chapter CXXVIII, “The Pequod Meets the Rachel,” the symbolic meaning suggest Jacob’s wife Rachel crying in the wilderness because her sons are not, Jeremiah 31:15. The continuation of this symbolism in the epilogue would include a more definite recognition of the influence of Christianity on Melville then some critics would admit, namely, that Ishmael’s rescue by the Rachel symbolically is Christian brotherly love …

The Role Of Christianity In Healthy Personality Development, Elmer O. Luessenhop

Bachelor of Divinity

The question is: What about Christianity and personality development? Does the Christian religion have a part to play in the development of personality?

Concept Of Evil In Berdyaev, Paul E. Pfotenhauer

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper will be an attempt to describe evil as it is presented in the thinking of Berdyaev. It will not be its concern to give an objective criticism or evaluation of his concept of evil, but merely a presentation of the same. In doing this an attempt will at all times be made to remain within the framework of his thought. This approach will place several limitations on this paper. In the first place it will make it impossible to present it as a logical, integrated unity. In his examination of the various problems of life, Berdyaev is constantly …

The Social Ethics Of Reinhold Niebuhr, Richard E. Koenig

Bachelor of Divinity

Our concern in this thesis will be merely to present the line of thought which Niebuhr employs in relating the Christian agape to society. Since Niebuhr’s social ethic has never been set down in any systematic form, it will be necessary to collect from his various writings those ideas which he uses in advocating his views. To be sure he has written extensively on ethics, but never has he developed the subject from the traditional points of view. As in philosophy ethics cannot be separated from theology. It is important for this study then to draw in much of the …

The Material And Non-Material Being Of Man As Expressed In The Pertinent Old Testament Works, William Hansen

Bachelor of Divinity

The question of the nature and essence of man is an old philosophical problem. It is more, however, than a speculation to occupy the minds of metaphysicians. For the theologian, especially, it has practical relevance. His work is between God and man; he must bring God to men. Thus he should know not only the subject of but also the object for his work, perhaps the latter as well as the former. For how can he bring God's message to man without knowing how to approach man? How can he make God's message meaningful for man unless he knows what …
