Matthew's Method Of Quoting The Old Testament, Lorenz Otto Nieting
Matthew's Method Of Quoting The Old Testament, Lorenz Otto Nieting
Bachelor of Divinity
In examining Matthew’s use of the Old Testament, we are immediately confronted by the problem of the language that he uses in quoting the Old Testament. The problem simply stated is to find out whether Matthew used the Hebrew, the Septuagint, an Aramaic version, or extant Greek version of the Old Testament: or if he used a number of these versions. In the case of the latter we shall try to determine under what circumstances Matthew used the one or the other version.
The History Of Puritanism From King James I To William And Mary, Weldon Luther Priebe
The History Of Puritanism From King James I To William And Mary, Weldon Luther Priebe
Bachelor of Divinity
In the whole terminology of' history there are few words more difficult to define than "Puritan”, for it was never used by contemporaries with precisely the same significance, and it has denoted very different qualities at different epochs. It is a word that has borne so many doctrinal, dogmatic, political, and administrative, social meanings in the course of the past four centuries that it is hardly possible to present one definition acceptable to all.
The Early History Of The Aramaeans And Their Contacts With Israel Up To The Divided Kingdom, Marlin A. Mentz
The Early History Of The Aramaeans And Their Contacts With Israel Up To The Divided Kingdom, Marlin A. Mentz
Bachelor of Divinity
Of the Old Testament races and peoples, who had contacts with God's chosen people, the Aramaeans, or as the English Bible terms them, Syrians, are one or the most colorful and fascinating. This is especially true because the history and career of the Aramaean people runs nearly parallel with that of the Israelites. They both appear on the scene at approximately the same time, and the history of both Aram and Israel also terminates about the same time.

The Hussites And Their Work Of Reformation In Slovakia, Daniel Michael Estok
Bachelor of Divinity
In the middle of the fourteenth century central Europe was ripe for a reformation movement. a re-formation of the Church of the day. In consequence of the shameful debasement of the papacy and the deep corruption of the clergy and monks, the influence of the Church upon the moral and religious culture of the people, in spite of the ardent zeal of the homilists and catechists, was upon the whole much less than formerly. Reverence for the Church as it stood was indeed tottering, but was not yet completely overthrown.

The Critical Evaluation Of The Influence Of William Sihler In The Development Of The Missouri Synod, Lewis William Spitz

The Kingdom Of Christ With Special Reference To Premillennialism, Carl N. Last
The Kingdom Of Christ With Special Reference To Premillennialism, Carl N. Last
Bachelor of Divinity
Chiliasm has always been taught in the Church by individuals and particular groups, but it has never been taught as the orthodox faith of the Church. There are some today who hold to Chiliasm because they believe that the early Christian Church advanced the chiliastic arguments. Dr. West in his History of Premillenarian Doctrine claims that “a true Christian Chiliasm was the orthodox faith of the primitive Church in its purest days.” We want to show in introducing this paper that the Church in the first three centuries of its history did not believe in a millennial kingdom of Christ …

Our Lutheran Church of the Missouri Synod through its Army and Navy Commission has fully recognized the great task of providing a spiritual ministry to the men in the armed forces.

The Army Chaplaincy offered the great opportunity to serve Christ and to minister to many blood-bought souls.

Erasmus And The German Reformation, Roland H. Seboldt
Erasmus And The German Reformation, Roland H. Seboldt
Bachelor of Divinity
To understand the attitude of Erasmus, it is necessary to look into the background of his times and to study the early influences upon his life. The life span of Erasmus covered a period of events which was a time of great flux and change. It was in this period that the Middle Ages gave way to modern times. Feudalism and serfdom were losing their prominence. Humanism spread over Europe from its cradle in Italy. Scholastic philosophy was losing its hold, bowing to the efforts of the humanists, mystics, and reformers.

The Approach To The Unchurched, Earl Schmiesing
The Approach To The Unchurched, Earl Schmiesing
Bachelor of Divinity
If God really sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to be the Savior of all men, then the most pressing and urgent task of every Christian is to bring this message to the entire world. It is a Satanic paradox for the Christian who has accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior to stand idly by while countless millions of souls about him are heedlessly rushing to eternal perdition. The mission of the Christian church rests upon certain facts clearly taught in the Scriptures.

We will examine the relation between compulsory military training and the church. We will take note of the principal arguments before the public, and give attention to the arguments both for and …

The Doctrine Of The Resurrection Of The Body As Taught In The Pauline Espistles, Norbert Becker

It is our purpose to present the entire teaching of Paul on the fundamental doctrine of the resurrection. In the course of the positive presentation of Paul's teaching it will become clear that he nowhere contradicts himself but that he is consistent throughout. It will also become evident that Paul's doctrine of the resurrection is in complete harmony with the teachings of Jesus and with other parts of Scripture. When we speak of Pauline theology, therefore, we simply refer to the doctrines contained in Paul's epistles.
