An Analysis Of Gospel Elements In Selected Major Works Of Charles Dickens, Steven Smith May 1990

An Analysis Of Gospel Elements In Selected Major Works Of Charles Dickens, Steven Smith

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It is my thesis that Dickens' use of "Gospel elements" in the works studied is both intentional and fundamental to the themes and structures of the novels. The Gospel elements present are no afterthought or coincidence but significant in Dickens' intent and meaning.

Marxist Humanism In Dialogue With Christianity, Richard Lischer Jun 1957

Marxist Humanism In Dialogue With Christianity, Richard Lischer

Bachelor of Divinity

In this paper I will attempt to follow Garaudy's suggestion, mentioned above, and retain my own Christian perspective. With that factor in mind, plus an obvious limitation of space, much of the Christian doctrine of man will be presupposed.as I investigate Marxist humanism. The goal of this paper is not the isolation of two humanistic concerns but the description and analysis of their intersection.

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

The Mission Commands Of Christ, Herbert Manthey Zorn May 1947

The Mission Commands Of Christ, Herbert Manthey Zorn

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper places emphasis on the word "command." Its purpose is to explain what Christ meant when He said, "Go ye."

The problems of mission work and the various methods and approaches necessary to make that work efficient are beyond the scope of this paper.

Foreword, W. Arndt Jan 1941

Foreword, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

As one at the beginning of a new year views the religious scene, it cannot be denied that in the Lutheran Church more discussion of questions of doctrine and practice is taking place than has been witnessed in it for at least one, probably for more decades. The great issue is again whether the course of strict, uncompromising confessionalism which this journal and its chief ancestor, Lehre und Wehre, consistently sponsored from the very beginning is morally, that is, in the court of God and our own conscience, defensible, and not only defensible, but right, proper, just, and required. The …


Mental Hygiene And The Bible, H. D. Mensing Aug 1938

Mental Hygiene And The Bible, H. D. Mensing

Concordia Theological Monthly

Mental hygiene has been variously defined, depending upon the school represented or the scope intended. It is sometimes broadly conceived as including the cure of the •abnormal and diseased mind (psychiatry), as also the development and preservation of a healthy mind, an integrated personality. The stress, however, is always upon the prophylaxis, upon the prevention of maladjustment. "All mental hygiene is directed toward a happy and successful life in conformity with the dictates of personal and higher laws."

Proselytizing, A New Problem, Theo. Graebner Oct 1933

Proselytizing, A New Problem, Theo. Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

Handbooks for Bible classes that througl1out discredit the Bible have not been a rare offering of the publishers' tables of recent years. But here is a text-book for religious study classes which not only cuts doubt upon the veracity of Bible accounts, but which in detail is designed to eliminate the doctrine of Christianity from the consciousness of the new generation. And it is "approved by the Committee on Curriculum of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church.''


The Shifting Sands Of Science, Th. Engelder Jul 1932

The Shifting Sands Of Science, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Men are colling upon the Christian Church with increasing insistence that it adjust its teachings to the findings of science. The Western Christian Advocate of December 22, 1027, declared: "New discoveries have necessitated new statements of our faith. Our views of the Bible, our ideas as to God's relationship to the world, have got to be reconstructed. . . . The heterodoxies of one day have become the orthodoxies of the next." w. K. Wright, in A. Student’s Philosophy of Religion, demands that he, the student, draw no conclusions in conflict with the dicta of present-day mental and physical science. …
