The Theology Of Dwight L Moody, Howard Kramer
The Theology Of Dwight L Moody, Howard Kramer
Bachelor of Divinity
Dwight L. Moody, with only a district school education, without a church or society behind him to support him, without any of the recognized graces of oratory, spoke to an estimated one hundred million, and converted an estimated one million souls. He established more permanent centers of religious activity than any preacher of his day. Hence, it is certainly fitting that we examine critically the theology of so influential a man. We intend to determine how closely, and in what fields, he adheres to Scripture teaching, and, on the basis of our observations, place him in the Fundamentalist fold. As …
The Spoken Word In Luther's Theology (1528-1532), George Weller
The Spoken Word In Luther's Theology (1528-1532), George Weller
Bachelor of Divinity
The present study is concerned with the nature of these as they find expression in the words of Martin Luther. We are restricting ourselves to only a portion of the first: to the Word, i.e., the Gospel. A study of the Sacraments would lead the study on to many tangents unrelated to our immediate concern. Furthermore, the genius of Lutheranism has often been identified as a Theology of the Word: it is in the sphere of a Word-principle, then, that Lutheranism’s own view should appear in its clearest expression. The Word as a means of Grace and its relation to …
Who Is The Lord Of The World To Come An Exegetical Study Of Hebrews 2:5-9, Henry J. Otten
Who Is The Lord Of The World To Come An Exegetical Study Of Hebrews 2:5-9, Henry J. Otten
Bachelor of Divinity
In treating this problem I have decided to present the subject under two general heads. I shall first carry through an exegetical study of verses five to nine to determine the scope of the words and grammar. In the midst of this exegetical study I shall pause at intervals to discuss various sidelights of the problem at hand. In the second place, I shall try to crystallize the problem and arrive at a solution.
The Preaching Of The Gospel As The Motive Power For Good Works, Philip H. Lochhaas
The Preaching Of The Gospel As The Motive Power For Good Works, Philip H. Lochhaas
Bachelor of Divinity
The problem, then, with which this paper shall deal is this: “On what basis and in what manner shall a Christian minister urge his people to perform good works?" This shall be seen, first of all, from the Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments, the unalterable Word of God, which clearly sets forth the motivation for good works. It shall be seen, secondly, that the Scriptural motivation is clearly and correctly set forth in the Symbolical nooks of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. The last section of this paper will be devoted to an analysis of sermons and writings …
The Sacerdotal Prayer An Exegetico-Doctrinal Study, Wesley J. Kuhn
The Sacerdotal Prayer An Exegetico-Doctrinal Study, Wesley J. Kuhn
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this paper is to make a reasonably thorough exegetical and doctrinal study of the Sacerdotal Prayer.
A Comparative Analysis Of Juraj Chorvát's Veľká Partitúra And Joseph Kuchárik's Duchovná Citara With Special Attention To Slavic Hymn-Tunes, Samuel Boda
Bachelor of Divinity
It will be the purpose of this thesis to bring to light the outstanding characteristics of the Veĺká Partitúra through an examination of the times used; the popularity and worth of the tunes through the years, as witnessed by their inclusion in or exclusion from the various hymnbooks of the Slovak Lutheran Church, will be noted, special attention will be given to Slavic tunes, and a comparison will be made between the Veĺká Partitúra and the Duchovná Citara, noting distinctive changes and determining reasons for differences.
Relation Of The Common Service To The Roman Mass, Martin Louis Russert
Relation Of The Common Service To The Roman Mass, Martin Louis Russert
Bachelor of Divinity
In this thesis, it is the purpose of the writer to show the relation of the Common Service to the Roman Mass. The Common Service is no doubt a derivative from the Roman Mass. When Luther set himself to the task of purifying the service which he found, he had to deal with the Roman Mass. Luther’s Formula Missae followed the Roman Mass quite faithfully in its main parts. The Roman Mass, however, did not spring up all at once. It was a gradual process. Although the Mass is almost the same as it was in the days of the …
The Concept Of Faith In Romans, Bernard Geerdes
The Concept Of Faith In Romans, Bernard Geerdes
Bachelor of Divinity
It is the object of the writer of this thesis to undertake that study. He makes no claim that this is an exhaustive study. However, we shall treat some of the chief aspects or faith which Paul deals with in Romans. And since Romans contains the core of the doctrine of Justification by Faith, we hope to have a representative view of the Biblical aspects of faith.
The Concept Of Suffering In The Philosophy Of Dostoyensky, Francis Carl Rossow
The Concept Of Suffering In The Philosophy Of Dostoyensky, Francis Carl Rossow
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose or this thesis is to describe Dostoyevsky's concept of suffering to point out the factors that gave rise to his concept, to compare his concept of suffering with the Christian viewpoint, and finally to show the value of Dostoyevsky' s concept of suffering to ·the world of today.
The Validity Of A Sociology Of Religion, Samuel Irven Goltermann
The Validity Of A Sociology Of Religion, Samuel Irven Goltermann
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis is not to provide any of these. No attempt has been made to construct a valid and completely methodology, much less system, of the sociology of religion, either by primary research in, or observation of, the religious institutions and groupings, or by careful study or compilation of the theories and principles which have been advanced by other writers. Rather we have chosen to sample the literature of the field in an attempt to break down, plot out, and isolate into component elements many of the concepts which are with greater or lesser regularity used by …
The Concept Of Authority In The Persuasion Of Christ And St Paul, Robert A. Grunow
The Concept Of Authority In The Persuasion Of Christ And St Paul, Robert A. Grunow
Bachelor of Divinity
It will be our purpose in this paper to review some of the more prominent concepts of persuasive authority found in churches today. We will then endeavor to present the Biblical concept of persuasive authority, as it is found in the New Testament, especially in the Gospels and in the life and writings of St. Paul.
The Philistines, Frederick Schumacher Jr
The Philistines, Frederick Schumacher Jr
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this study is to review the history of the Philistines, special emphasis being placed on their relation and influence on Israel.
The Groaning Creation- An Exegetical Study Of Romans 8:18-22, Walter James Bartling
The Groaning Creation- An Exegetical Study Of Romans 8:18-22, Walter James Bartling
Bachelor of Divinity
Though the title of our paper reads "The Groaning Creation", the purpose of our discussion will be, not so much to describe the nature of creation's groaning, but to ascertain the causes of the groaning (terminus & quo) with the special purpose of predicting and defining its end (terminus ad quem) on the basis of Rom. 8;18-22. It will be the story of sin and grace, death and life, damnation and redemption, paradise lost and paradise regained as this is reflected in the physical universe. Our chief interest, however, will be eschatological. How has God's saving activity affected nature? What …
The Protestant Christian Church In The U.S.A. Meeting The Challenge Of Our Times Through Parish Evangelism, Ronald A. Mueller
The Protestant Christian Church In The U.S.A. Meeting The Challenge Of Our Times Through Parish Evangelism, Ronald A. Mueller
Bachelor of Divinity
Originally this study had been intended to take the form of a training course for lay evangelism. Upon further consideration and research it became evident that this would be putting both pastor and people into a rigid pattern that would not fit in all cases. The work of the church differs from place to place, and the way in which the church’s mission can be carried out will not always be the same. Therefore, this study will consider material pertinent to the forming of principles upon which the work is to be done and by which workers are to be …
Emil Brunner And His Idea Of Chrisitan Philosophy, Vernon Boriack
Emil Brunner And His Idea Of Chrisitan Philosophy, Vernon Boriack
Bachelor of Divinity
By this method Christian revelation can maintain its station unblushingly and remain vital and valid for any scientific world view that future generations may evolve. Thus today, Emil Brunner - prolific writer, brilliant lecturer, stirring preacher - has taken his stand and is zealously striving to reinterpret, theologically and philosophically what he thinks Christianity must be made to mean for his community and for the whole world at large if the Church would endure.
The Doctrine Of The Humanity Of Christ According To The Epistle To The Hebrews, Carl Hiller
The Doctrine Of The Humanity Of Christ According To The Epistle To The Hebrews, Carl Hiller
Bachelor of Divinity
To illustrate: if there are five passages that all bring out point "A" of the pre-determined outline of the doctrine, it is not necessary to treat all five passages just to show that point "A" is covered in the epistle. If this procedure seems somewhat arbitrary, we state again that the purpose of this thesis is merely to show how completely the doctrine of Christ's humanity has been revealed in the epistle to the Hebrews.
An Examination Of The Ethical Injunctions Of St Paul, Herbert T. Mayer
An Examination Of The Ethical Injunctions Of St Paul, Herbert T. Mayer
Bachelor of Divinity
Its only purpose is to highlight the ethical portions in the writings of Paul. It will do this by emphasizing three aspects which have perhaps not received proper stress in many books which discuss this subject. These three aspects will be discussed under the general heading of the new three-fold relationship in which the converted individual finds himself.
The Lutheran Army Chaplain, Walther A. Huchthausen
The Lutheran Army Chaplain, Walther A. Huchthausen
Bachelor of Divinity
To describe adequately the Lutheran Army chaplain is a little more difficult. Although all the material mentioned would apply to him in a general way, other factors need to be brought into the picture which are not given expression in any of the literature that has been produced about the chaplain and his work. The doctrinal position of our Church, its polity, its missionary character, and its devotion to the Holy Scriptures as the only norm of doctrine and rule of life are all matters which affect the status of the Lutheran Army chaplain, emphasize his need, and tend to …

A Comparison Of Selected Portions Of The Reina-Valera And Moderna Versions Of The Spanish Bible, Edwin T. Brown
A Comparison Of Selected Portions Of The Reina-Valera And Moderna Versions Of The Spanish Bible, Edwin T. Brown
Bachelor of Divinity
In view of the fact that the Board for Home Missions in North America requested this thesis to be mimeographed the manuscript was offered in this form. Signature implies approval of the contents but not the form and documentation of the thesis.
The Relations Between The English And The Scottish Reformations, Carl Napier Jr
The Relations Between The English And The Scottish Reformations, Carl Napier Jr
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of the writer's original investigation was to find out what influences and connections existed between the two Reformations. The purpose of this study is to show that before Henry VIII English efforts at union were almost wholly political. At least there is no mention of religious-political parties. War and conciliation were the diplomatic weapons. After Henry's break with the Pope by the Act of Supremacy in 1534 and to 1707 when the final union of the crowns took place political and religious relations became closely entwined. Henry and his successors, particularly Elizabeth, used religion in fostering the political …
An Evaluation Of The Nineteeth Century English Hymn Tune For American Lutheran Worship, Elmer N. Witt
An Evaluation Of The Nineteeth Century English Hymn Tune For American Lutheran Worship, Elmer N. Witt
Bachelor of Divinity
Lutheran hymnals continue to increase in size and in choice of hymn tunes. A brief study of The Lutheran Hymnal (1941) of the Missouri Synod shows that the composers of the 380 tunes of the hymnal come in the main from three countries: 18 from America, 59 from England, and 58 from Germany. This trend is borne out in the other Lutheran hymnals published in America during the first 40 years of this century, to perhaps an even more marked degree. If so many of these tunes are coming into the Lutheran Services from extra-Lutheran sources, we also do well …
An Outline Of Intergration Strategies For The Christian Principles In The Lutheran Secondary School, Karl John Schweder
An Outline Of Intergration Strategies For The Christian Principles In The Lutheran Secondary School, Karl John Schweder
Bachelor of Divinity
It is the attempt then of this thesis to study a) the basic philosophy of American Experimentalism and the techniques for carrying this program into effect; b) the basic philosophy of Catholic education and the methodology used for carrying this approach into effect; c) the present and proposed methodologies of teachers in Lutheran secondary schools; d) and finally, the summary ina final outline, or all techniques suggested by this study which are in agreement with the Lutheran Christian philosophy or education and which propose a fuller integration of the Lutheran Christian principles.
Native Christian Movements In The Philippine Islands, Arnold Strohschein
Native Christian Movements In The Philippine Islands, Arnold Strohschein
Bachelor of Divinity
The story of the Independent Filipino Church is actually the story of one man, Bishop Gregorio Aglipay. It was this man who led the Filipino masses in a break from Rome to get up a truly Filipino national Church, a Church that a Filipino would be proud to claim as his own a church organized end conducted altogether by Filipino people. Therefore, it is necessary that we go into the life and background or this prominent man, Gregorio Aglipay, that we might learn what prompted him to lead his people in a revolt against Rome.
Christian Citizenship, Valentine J. Mack
Christian Citizenship, Valentine J. Mack
Bachelor of Divinity
"The Christian's life in this world is not lived in separate compartments, the spiritual and the temporal. It is one life, the life of a child of God, and in all the various situations and relationships in which the Christian finds himself he is motivated and governed by those principles which have been implanted in him in his regeneration and which are nurtured and developed by the means of grace. It is impossible, therefore, to separate his life as a Christian from his life as a citizen; in his relation to the state, the nation, and the government the Christian …
Nicolas Of Cusa His Life And Thought, Paul M. Riedel
Nicolas Of Cusa His Life And Thought, Paul M. Riedel
Bachelor of Divinity
Most interesting to the present writer were Cusa’s mysticism and his universalist approach to Christian truth and values. A mystic, he, nevertheless, strove to communicate his insight rationally. Though a sincere reformer, he remained a loyal adherent of the Roman church.
Lutheran Sola Fide Vs Roman Catholic Ex Opere Operato Of The Basis Of The Confessions, John G. Deterding
Lutheran Sola Fide Vs Roman Catholic Ex Opere Operato Of The Basis Of The Confessions, John G. Deterding
Bachelor of Divinity
Opposed to the sola fide is the doctrine of ex opere operato, i.e., that the sacraments mechanically confer grace upon all who receive them. Faith is not necessary to receive this grace, but the mere outward ceremony effects it mechanically for all those who do not place an obstacle in the way.
An Examination Of The Worship Of Mary Of Guadalupe, Martin Luther Frenk
An Examination Of The Worship Of Mary Of Guadalupe, Martin Luther Frenk
Bachelor of Divinity
The Trinity of the Bible is fast becoming the Quadrinity in the Catholic Church. Mariolatry, or the worship of Mary, has become a chief characteristic of the Roman Church in our day. The doctrine of Mary’s cooperation in salvation is far more developed and emphasized today than in the days of Martin Luther.
An Examination Of The Premises Of Wesley's Doctrine Of Christian Perfection, Anthony S. Gedwillo
An Examination Of The Premises Of Wesley's Doctrine Of Christian Perfection, Anthony S. Gedwillo
Bachelor of Divinity
For the past two centuries theologians have discussed the pros and cons of Wesley's doctrine of Christian perfection. Many have voiced their opinions in favor of it, maintaining that this high ethical ideal is certainly to be supported because there is the possibility of attainment; others have discredited it most severely by contending that such a Christian goal was not possible in this world, in this life, so long as the flesh of man was united with the soul of man.
Evidence From Papyrus 46 For The Early Existence Of The So-Called Western Text With Special Reference To The Epistle Of St Paul To The Ephesians, Robert E. Plagens
Evidence From Papyrus 46 For The Early Existence Of The So-Called Western Text With Special Reference To The Epistle Of St Paul To The Ephesians, Robert E. Plagens
Bachelor of Divinity
The aim of this paper is to study the text of Papyrus 46 and to compare it with other texts, especially the Western. I make no claim that the results of this study are final nor have I investigated all of P46. I have limited myself to the Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians.
