A Study Of The Epistle To The Hebrews In The Light Of The Basic Principles Of Biblical Typology, F. Clifford Johnson

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

For a number of years the writer of this thesis has been wanting to make a study of typology as found in God's Holy Word, to determine what types are, or are not. The purpose of this study was to clearly set forth the basic principles which govern types in the Scriptures as presented by various reliable sources, and to use these as a guide in this study of the Epistle to the Hebrews. This work has been limited to this Epistle, first, because its contents are largely a fulfillment of types, and secondly, because the field of typology would …

A Study Of The Doctrine Of The Holy Spirit In The Old Testament As Related To Old Testament Religious Experience, Walter D. Elmer

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

A well rounded knowledge of Biblical truth ha s been found to be impossible apart from a basic study of the relationship between the ministry of the Spirit of God and Old Testament religious experience. The importance of this study has reminded this investigator of the importance Jesus attached to a careful consideration of all the parts of a problem before venturing a solution.

A Study Of Significant Fulfilled Prophecies In The History Of Israel From The Time Of Moses To The Fall Of Jerusalem In 586 B.C., Roland R. Wilkes

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "Today the eyes of the world are watching with keen interest the affairs of the Jewish people in the Holy Land. Whether or not an individual has been a student of the Bible, he is nevertheless cognizant of the fact that there are taking place in Palestine some things which have not occurred there before.

It has been significant to note that for many years the Jews have been the object of study not only by Biblical scholars but also by statesmen and politicians. Scholars and common people alike have always found it difficult to account for the Jew. …

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Few factors have shaped the history of our nation more than the factor of religion. This has been especially true during the times of great revival endeavor. Beginning with the Great Awakening, in the middle part of the eighteenth century, and extending to the present, America has been blessed with several revival movements which have helped to preserve her mighty heritage. Their influences have been manifold, touching every aspect of life. They have affected the social, economic, political, and moral life of the nation.

These revivals have been widely different in nature and sphere of influence. They have affected different …

A Study Of Two Early Theologians At Drew Theological Seminary: Randolph S. Foster And John Miley, Paul Gerhadt Hvidding

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

A Study Of The Relation Of Christian Conduct To Christian Experience In The Light Of Biblical Truth And Selected Biographical And Autobiographical Data, Kenneth Koth

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Man's experience of salvation, both the first experience (initial salvation) and the second experience (entire sanctification) are for the most part individual and personal. The manifestations of these personal experiences, however, are seen in one's conduct in relation to other people. Thus, it is through conduct that the reality of the personal experience is seen and known by others.

It has been the purpose of this paper to present a proper Christian view of the problem which arises, in the minds of Christians and non-Christians alike, when variations in the conduct of equally devout people, holding similar doctrinal beliefs, are …

A Comparative Study Of Some Modern Views Of Divine Healing As They Relate Themselves To The Holy Scriptures, Austin Albert Chamberlain

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The question of physical healing has commanded the attention and thinking of men not only in this age but in all the ages of the past. The need of physical healing has driven man hopefully into the practice of healing. The world in which men find themselves now is a world which teaches the sufficiency of man to cope with the problems that arise. It is also a world of realities in which the sick and injured suffer pain. The hope of complete recovery is in deed something to be desired."

A Critical Study Of The Doctrine Of Revelation As Held By Three Contemporary American Theologians -- Georgia Harkness, Nels F.S. Ferré, And Edwin Lewis -- In The Light Of The Wesleyan View, Paul Marvin Hayden

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Men are curious beings. They like to know. According to the Biblical account of the fall of man he was tempted and fell at this very point. The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was desired by Adam and Eve to make them wise. The Bible shows that they satisfied this desire to their own detriment. By a little observation, or even introspection, one can see that man still has this desire to know. A trip to the library, to inspect the multitudinous volumes on a myriad of subjects, should convince the most skeptical person …

A Study Of Two Early Theologians At Drew Theological Seminary: Randolph S. Foster And John Miley, Paul Gerhardt Hvidding

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

In all branches of learning there is a perennial need to check-up on material to determine if progress is being made and to note where a dead-end has been reached or actual retrogression has taken place. In no field is this check-up more necessary than in the field of theology and philosophy.

The problem of this study has been to determine if Arminian theology in America, as represented by two of her most influential theologians, has been true to the philosophy and theology of John Wesley and, also, to determine if they have advanced this thought in any significant manner. …

The Function Of The Minister In The Religious Education Program Of The Local Church, Lyman L. Myers

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Man today is pragmatically minded. The subject which relates itself to current human need is one which gains attention. The contemporary unrest of the world is a result of the uncertainty of religious faith. Man is striving to arrive at basic truths which will be acceptable to all men everywhere. However, there is abundant evidence that the solution of man's problems lies in his religious faith. The question is, how can religious faith be made real and active in the lives of people? How can it be so rooted that the monuments of skepticism, humanism and rationalism will not overthrow …

A Study Of The Relation Of Christian Conduct To Christian Experience In The Light Of Biblical Truth And Selected Biographical And Autobiographical Data, Kenneth K. Koth

Man's experiences of salvation, both the first experience (initial salvation) and the second experience (entire sanctification) are for the most part individual and personal. The manifestations of these personal experiences, however, are seen in one's conduct in relation to other people. Thus, it is through conduct that the reality of the personal experience is seen and known by others. Jesus affirmed this fact when he said: By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. …

Friends At Mid-Century, Isaac T. Johnson, Lida K. Johnson

Historical Quaker Books

The Isaac T. and Lida K. Johnson Lectureship, made possible by their gift, was created by the Executive Committee of the Five Years Meeting in its sessions of April, 1940. The creative minute of the Executive Committee is in part as follows:

It is the duty of the Executive Committee to determine the use of this money and the Central Committee submits this recommendation: (1) that the gift be made a continuing memorial to these dear friends and (2) that the memorial be in the form of a lectureship for the Five Years Meeting, and, as it may direct, to …

The Early Quaker Doctrine Of Communion In The Light Of The New Testament, Mahlon Leroy Macy

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Anyone offering something new in theology, new in philosophy, or new in science is leaving himself open to criticism. An organization which sets forth a point of view contrary to the traditional point of view may receive much condemnation. This was the situation with the early Quakers. Their Biblical interpretation of the doctrine of Communion was unlike that of the traditional views; therefore, it was questioned.

Some Milestones Of The Spirit, William H. Richie

Historical Quaker Books

Of making many books there is no end," declared wise old Solomon; but he also said that words from the wise would be as "goads" for correction, and "as nails fastened" to help settle one's convictions as to truth; thereby others would be "admonished." This has been the basis of the inward urge of the Spirit to put into writing personal experiences which have been milestones of spiritual growth. It is only with the hope and the prayer that this record may be illuminating and helpful to other pilgrims on life's pathway that this record has been written.

A Handbook For Elders And Overseers, Raymond Binford Et Al.

Historical Quaker Books

Quaker Hill Pamphlet No. 2

Excerpt: "The objective pursued in these pages has been to produce for elders and overseers in Friends meetings a body of literature which 'is problem centered. The swiftly moving historical scene during the last generation has been the cause of immense and widespread confusion about the important spiritual testimonies which characterize the Christian life. The automobile. the radio, the motion picture-to mention only a few of the products of the last quarter-century-have had revolutionary effects upon society. The older Quaker communities have been rooted out of their former isolationism from the rest of the world …

Friends Are A Church, Edward Mott

Historical Quaker Books

This subject is presented for consideration in view of the fact that a very general misunderstanding exists as to what Friends are from an organization view-point. This is because there is not a unity of thought among the various groups which use the name Friends, as to what we n.re and what we stand for. The situation is brought prominently into view through the fact that it has, in an unfortunate manner, been introduced in the public press; this has been to our confusion before the public generally. An outstanding instance (though not the first by any means) is of …

Carson W. Cox: A Missionary To China, Vercia P. Cox

Historical Quaker Books

Excerpt: " "Eunice, is Larkin Cox speaking the truth? Does thee desire to marry him and go to that wild new Territory, infested still with wild buffalo, coyotes and Indians?"

The tall young man, with the fingers of his right hand touching the new but heavy growth of dark beard, looked steadfastly at the slender Quakeress across the fireplace from him. Eunice Cox stood. She looked not at her father, who had spoken, but at her lover and replied, "Yes, father; I wish to marry Larkin and go wherever he sees fit to take me." Her mother and sisters began …

Behaviorism: An Exposition And Critical Examination, Philip S. Clapp

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Behaviorism may be most easily defined after contrasting it with other forms of psychology. Until the advent of behaviorism in 1912, all psychology was built upon a subject matter called consciousness or mind, as definitions of psychology show: James: "Psychology is the description and explanation of states of consciousness as such." Angell: " Psychology is commonly defined as the science of consciousness... Consciousness we can only define in terms of itself." Thorndike: "Human psychology deals with the thoughts and feelings of human beings and seeks to explain the facts of intellect, character, and personal life." Seashore: "Psychology is the science …
