Pauline Evangelism, Samuel Emerick
Pauline Evangelism, Samuel Emerick
Graduate Thesis Collection
The objective of the writer of this thesis is to present a plain account of the work of Paul as an evangelist in the field of early Christianity. In his labors to spread the gospel, and in his endeavors to lead people to accept and obey that gospel, Paul was a devoted man. His devotion to this great cause, however, had not always been characteristic of Paul. He once lived in direct hostility to the cause for which he later endangered and finally surrendered his life. This change of mind and conduct will be better understood when we consider his …
A History Of Wilmington Yearly Meeting Of The Religious Society Of Friends, Elmer H. Brown Jr.
A History Of Wilmington Yearly Meeting Of The Religious Society Of Friends, Elmer H. Brown Jr.
Graduate Thesis Collection
Wilmington Yearly Meeting of Friends is nearing its fiftieth anniversary of its founding, 1892-1942. It should be of particular interest to the entire membership of the Yearly Meeting to pause and reflect on these eventful years that go to make up its history, not for the sake of the history itself, not to boast over any singular achievements, but rather to receive an insight and sense of direction that may profit the institution in years to come.
The Interpretation Of Holy Scripture By The Consensus Of The Church, V. G. Gilbert
The Interpretation Of Holy Scripture By The Consensus Of The Church, V. G. Gilbert
Graduate Thesis Collection
That the New Testament Scriptures stand alone as the source material of the Christian Way is very widely recognized. As to the final authority of this literature, however, there are two widely divergent schools, the Roman Catholic and the Protestant. The former places authority in the Church militant, while the latter clings to the maxim of Chillingworth, "The Bible is the religion of Protestants".
The Theology Of Clement Of Alexandria, Edward M. Sausaman
The Theology Of Clement Of Alexandria, Edward M. Sausaman
Graduate Thesis Collection
The following study of the theology of Clement of Alexandria is an attempt to gain some definite ideas of the theological tenets held by this early Christian. Such a study reveals the fact that Clement did not altogether have a definite theology completely formulated. On some points he has been almost silent - for reasons quite apparent. Although later theologies have attempted to find their justification in these early church fathers, in this work there is no such attempt.
The Significance Of [Dam] In The Hebrew Religious System, Karl G. Peterson
The Significance Of [Dam] In The Hebrew Religious System, Karl G. Peterson
Graduate Thesis Collection
A study of the significance of [dam] in the Hebrew religious system immediately presents the problem of the meaning of the word which is used in the title. There are two words in the Hebrew language which are translated "blood", [dam] and [netaach]. The word [dam] is listed more than three hundred times in the Hebrew concordance, while the word [netaach] is listed but once as meaning "blood".
The Historical And Theological Background Of The Reformed Church In The United States, Carl J.G. Russom
The Historical And Theological Background Of The Reformed Church In The United States, Carl J.G. Russom
Graduate Thesis Collection
Long ago God reverently commanded His people Israel to relate to their children and their children's children, what it was He had done for His people in the days of old. We believe this responsibility still to be incumbent not only upon the great church since that day, but upon every community of Christian people since then.
The History Of The Christian Churches In Marion County, Indiana, Perry W. Swann
The History Of The Christian Churches In Marion County, Indiana, Perry W. Swann
Graduate Thesis Collection
The significance of a written History of The Christian Churches or Churches in Marion County, Indiana has been stated on different occasions by many church members. Dr. F.D. Kershner, Dean of the College of Religion in Butler University, expressed his desire in May 1936 that some student in the College of Religion might write such a history. The importance of the work, and Dr. Kershner's suggestion have prompted me to write this dissertation.
The Application Of The Principles Of New Testament Stewardship To The Problems Of World Peace, Berwyn E. Jones
The Application Of The Principles Of New Testament Stewardship To The Problems Of World Peace, Berwyn E. Jones
Graduate Thesis Collection
The term stewardship, as used in this thesis, implies that material possessions are a trust from God and carry with them a social responsibility of which the meeting of human need is the first consideration.
An Investigation Of The Various Interpretations Of The Song Of Songs, Gilbert L. Weidman
An Investigation Of The Various Interpretations Of The Song Of Songs, Gilbert L. Weidman
Graduate Thesis Collection
The study of the higher criticism of the Bible has always held great interest to the author of this thesis. This critical approach to an understanding of each book of the Bible has caused many facts, outside of the book itself, to be found. Armed with these facts the book itself becomes clearer and clearer as the purpose and the background of the author becomes more and more apparent.
A Critical Investigation Of The Textual Variances Of The Book Of Jonah, Grace C. Henry
A Critical Investigation Of The Textual Variances Of The Book Of Jonah, Grace C. Henry
Graduate Thesis Collection
The subject for this thesis was chosen as a result of a deep interest, on the part of the writer, in the languages of the past and present. This interest has been increased while engaged in the study of the Hebrew language in the classes of Dr. T.W.Nakarai of the college of Religion at Butler University. He has made possible a comprehension of the different values and meanings of words as they have passed down through the ages, as well as a realization of the impossibility to express exactly the connoted meanings of words in a language other than that …
Jewish Proselyte Baptism And Its Relation To Christian Baptism, Glen W. Mell
Jewish Proselyte Baptism And Its Relation To Christian Baptism, Glen W. Mell
Graduate Thesis Collection
With a Disciple background, the writer of this thesis has quite naturally been very much interested in the subject of Christian baptism. Any study of the value and meaning of Christian baptism will, of course, lead one back to a consideration of its origin. It seems that one is usually content with the conviction that Jesus instituted baptism and lets it go at that.
The Problem Of Authority In The Theology Of Alexander Campbell, Kenneth E. Hartman
The Problem Of Authority In The Theology Of Alexander Campbell, Kenneth E. Hartman
Graduate Thesis Collection
The Bible and the Bible alone is the creed of "the Protestants" was an important statement. It startled the Protestant world, and eventually brought a reformation era into the thought and theology of the Protestants in America in the nineteenth century.
The History Of Christian Education Among The Disciples Of Christ In Indiana, R. Powell Mead
The History Of Christian Education Among The Disciples Of Christ In Indiana, R. Powell Mead
Graduate Thesis Collection
This dissertation is precisely what the title implies - "A History of Christian Education Among the Disciples of Christ in Indiana." We have related facts as we have discovered them in our research, with no attempt, whatever, to interpret the facts or to champion one theory or method of Christian education to the disparagement of another. We have tried to discover every enterprise of Christian education that has been undertaken by the Disciples in Indiana since they first entered the state.
The Influence Of The Lockian Empiricism On The Theology Of Alexander Campbell, William J. Moore
The Influence Of The Lockian Empiricism On The Theology Of Alexander Campbell, William J. Moore
Graduate Thesis Collection
Modern scholarship, in its effort to render a true account of the facts of existence, has placed much emphasis on what is sometimes called the historical method of study. The presupposition of this method is that the essence of reality lies in development, growth, and adaptation, whether the reality sought is that of an organic formation, an institution, or an idea. It is assumed that one cannot satisfactorily understand a thing until one knows the sources from which it sprang, the processes by which it came into being, and the changes which it has experienced in becoming adapted to its …
An Investigation Of The Triliteral Root [Baal] In The Massoretic Text, Herbert C. Albrecht
An Investigation Of The Triliteral Root [Baal] In The Massoretic Text, Herbert C. Albrecht
Graduate Thesis Collection
If certain important words used in the Massoretic Text were studied individually, the several instances of their occurrence compared with each other and each form interpreted in the light of its own setting, and in the light of other similar instances of its usage, there can be little doubt that many useful suggestions would result.
The Law Of Pardon For Sin As Reflected In The Records Of The New Testament, Charles V. Jones
The Law Of Pardon For Sin As Reflected In The Records Of The New Testament, Charles V. Jones
Graduate Thesis Collection
The following is an attempt to make an unbiased search in the records of the New Testament to determine, if possible, the order of the steps to be taken by a person seeking pardon for sin. No attempt is being made to substantiate any preconceived theory. The study was prompted by a desire to settle in my own mind, by an unprejudiced search through the records, the question concerning the Law of Pardon to which I had heard many varying answers.
A Comparative View Of The Evidence For The Place Of Composition Of The Imprisonment Epistles Of The Apostle Paul, E. Robert Andry
A Comparative View Of The Evidence For The Place Of Composition Of The Imprisonment Epistles Of The Apostle Paul, E. Robert Andry
Graduate Thesis Collection
It is the position of the writer that the imprisonment epistles of Paul were written by the apostle some time during his three year stay in Ephesus. Though this view is comparatively new and has few adherents among New Testament students, yet in recent years it has been gaining more and more consideration and appreciation among those who critically study the situation.
The Religious Implications Of Hobhouse's Philosophy, H. Austin Smith
The Religious Implications Of Hobhouse's Philosophy, H. Austin Smith
Graduate Thesis Collection
The philosophy of L.T. Hobhouse interested me primarily because it is an attempt at a synthesis of the results of empirical science and of rational thought. The religious aspect of his work, both in his definite criticisms and contributions in the specific field of religion and in the more general implications of his system as a whole, seemed to me worth compiling and examining.
The History And Method Of The Immanuel Movement And Of Associated Groups, George W. Kehl
The History And Method Of The Immanuel Movement And Of Associated Groups, George W. Kehl
Graduate Thesis Collection
My interest in the subject of this thesis dates back ten years to the time when as a College and Theological Seminary Graduate I began to make my first visits to the sick in the congregation of which I had become pastor. Questions began to present themselves because the average sick calling seemed so perfunctory. Was I calling just to bring greetings from the church and to show my own interest? If I had prayer with the person who was sick, what answer should I expect to my prayer? Would or should there be immediate improvement and if not, why …
Contributions Of The Non-Literary Archaeological Materials To The Political And Social History Of The Hebrews, Ross Guiley
Contributions Of The Non-Literary Archaeological Materials To The Political And Social History Of The Hebrews, Ross Guiley
Graduate Thesis Collection
The term "Archaelogy," as is so common with the English language, is a two-fold or composite word. It is a joining of two Greek terms. The former signifies that which is "ancient," "primeval" or "olden," while the latter is more often used with the Greek meaning of "word," "study" or "discourse."
The Picture Of Jesus In Urmarcus, Dean E. Walker
The Picture Of Jesus In Urmarcus, Dean E. Walker
Graduate Thesis Collection
This study does not contemplate the work of a commentary on the Gospel according to Mark. The exegesis, explanation, and exposition of the text of the Second Evangelist is therefore excluded from this consideration.
Some Significant Phases Of Justin Martyr In The Development Of Early Christianity, Elmer G. Homrighausen
Some Significant Phases Of Justin Martyr In The Development Of Early Christianity, Elmer G. Homrighausen
Graduate Thesis Collection
The original inspiration to undertake this study issues from composite sources. Undoubtedly, in the last analysis, it was implanted by the personalities of great teachers, whose contagious enthusiasm for Christian history I contracted early in my theological and later graduate study. Great teachers, who are intimately acquainted with the ongoing currents of Christian life through the centuries, who have developed a love for the Christian movement, whose mature scholarship gives them the power to discern the real essence of the Christian religion in its historic expressions, these are still the keys to the real understanding of Church history, these are …
An Investigation Into Theories Of Metempsychosis, Charles H. Gunsolus
An Investigation Into Theories Of Metempsychosis, Charles H. Gunsolus
Graduate Thesis Collection
The ancient Egyptians believed in the immortality of the Soul and in Rebirth. The Egyptian embalming of the dead originated in their belief in a life beyond the grave. Polytheism and Ancestor worship prevailed in the earlier ages and as far back as history can trace it.
Genesis, Development And Progress Of The United Church Of Canada, Dougald K. Mccoll
Genesis, Development And Progress Of The United Church Of Canada, Dougald K. Mccoll
Graduate Thesis Collection
There is an almost universal demand in Christendom for a union of churches, which will, in some way, give stability and visibility to the unity of all Christians. Throughout the world there are new movements toward unity. In England, Scotland, United States and Canada, in fact the majority of countries where the reform faith is in the strongest, there is a tendency to accentuate the things that unite.
The Bearing Of Nationalism Upon The Indian Church, Helen M. Nicholson
The Bearing Of Nationalism Upon The Indian Church, Helen M. Nicholson
Graduate Thesis Collection
There are various conceptions of nationalism, but the one which is incorporated here is that which has to do with a national consciousness, a feeling of unity among those inhabiting the same country. For the most part it is political unity which is meant, though this has been attended by an increasing emphasis upon unity of Indian language, customs, and manners. It must be acknowledged that there is a bond of unity in the historic traditions of the centuries of culture and in the religious myths which are immortalized in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, but this is hardly sufficient.
Evolution Of Japanese Religious Ideas, Yo Kawamura
Evolution Of Japanese Religious Ideas, Yo Kawamura
Graduate Thesis Collection
My purpose in this thesis is to show the development of religious ideas in connection with the social and cultural evolution of the Japanese people and to indicate the place of Christianity in the modern period of Japan's religous history.
The Rise And Development Of The Papacy, Kenneth E. Thorne
The Rise And Development Of The Papacy, Kenneth E. Thorne
Graduate Thesis Collection
"And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my Father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven: and whatsoever …
A Study In The Literature Of The Disciples Of Christ, Alfred T. Degroot
A Study In The Literature Of The Disciples Of Christ, Alfred T. Degroot
Graduate Thesis Collection
The investigations which follow were undertaken out of a desire to make a definite and practical contribution to the study of the literature of the Disciples of Christ. Especially have we wanted to devise some means of putting the informaiton concerning this distinctive literature into such a form as to make it useable and helpful to the ministers and laymen in the movement in question. This we believe has been accomplished in Part II of the present volume.
The Emergence Of A Congo Church, H. C. Hobgood
The Emergence Of A Congo Church, H. C. Hobgood
Graduate Thesis Collection
In 1898 the Disciples of Christ took over the Equator station of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Union at Bolenge. From that time this mission has enjoyed a steady growth, both in missionary personnel and its influence on native life in the Equator District of the Colony of Congo Belge. Its influence has also reached parts of three of the districts bordering on Equator District. It is with the church that this mission has won from the surrounding heathenism and with the church that it is hoped may be built up in this section from this beginning that this thesis …
Protestantism In China, Yaotong C. Lee
Protestantism In China, Yaotong C. Lee
Graduate Thesis Collection
The religions of China and the works of Protestantism have been written by many scholars both American and European but most of them were incomplete in mind or written with a special interest of a certain denomination. The aim of this thesis is to present (1) the religious conditions of China before the entrance of Protestantism (2) the historical facts of Protestantism and (3) the present condition of the Chinese Christianity. Special attention will be given to the beginning, the growth, the persecution and some characteristic facts of Protestantism. The materials are almost all mined out of the Chinese records …
