Evaluation Of The Rsv On The Basis Of First Peter, Stephen R. Brusco Jr
Evaluation Of The Rsv On The Basis Of First Peter, Stephen R. Brusco Jr
Bachelor of Divinity
Thus it is evident that this version has caused considerable controversy and difference of opinion. Therefore thorough and objective study is needed to determine the adequacy of this version, to ascertain whether it is true and accurate to the spirit of the original Greek text, to see whether it measures up to the claims made for it by the committee and publishers, to investigate whether or not this new 'Version is usable in public worship and private devotions. The present study is an effort in this direction. It is an evaluation of the RSV on the basis of the First …
The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights In The Light Of Lutheran Theology, Theodore Ernst
The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights In The Light Of Lutheran Theology, Theodore Ernst
Bachelor of Divinity
Emphasis upon human rights in the Charter of the United Nations is not a vague, gossamer thread ephemerally appearing, disappearing, and reappearing. It rather constitutes one of the chief cornerstones upon which the Charter stands.
Martin Luther's Concept Of The Devil, Lester Zeitler
Martin Luther's Concept Of The Devil, Lester Zeitler
Bachelor of Divinity
It must be kept in mind that this thesis does not propose to relate and discuss in great detail every minute phase of Luther's concept of the devil. Such a study would take several years, for thoughts concerning the devil permeated nearly every area of Luther's writings. The St. Louis edition of Luther's Works devotes nearly twenty-two columns to an index registering Luther's comments on the devil. This thesis then may be more properly called a general overview of Luther's demonology.
Luther And Evangelical Radicalism, Walter L. Bouman
Luther And Evangelical Radicalism, Walter L. Bouman
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the relationship between Luther and this disparate radical element of the reformation. For this purpose we must distinguish between two aspects of the Radical Movement. Luther was forced to relate himself to Evangelical Radicalism as a historical phenomenon. This aspect of the relationship will be discussed in Chapter II of the thesis. Of greater importance is the theological relationship between Luther and Radicalism. Here we are concerned with a tendency rather than with a Historical group. While this tendency found expression in a historical group, it was also present in some of …

An Analysis And Survey Of The Theology Of American Lutheranism Based Upon The Definite Platform Of Samuel Simon Schmucker, Norbert H. Mueller
An Analysis And Survey Of The Theology Of American Lutheranism Based Upon The Definite Platform Of Samuel Simon Schmucker, Norbert H. Mueller
Bachelor of Divinity
The scope of this paper is to attempt to show the source of the theology of the movement, "American Lutheranism." Beyond that it does not pretend to make an exhaustive study of the field or related fields. It does show two things, however: first, that crossing denominational lines for fellowship involves a compromise with your own theology, often the sacrifice of truth on your part; second, that the theology of the movement was thoroughly Reformed and not Lutheran at all as Schmucker insisted it was. The paper further does ·not purpose to criticize unjustly, either Schmucker or the movement, but …
The Three Categories Of Existence According To Søren Kierkegaard, F Dean Lueking
The Three Categories Of Existence According To Søren Kierkegaard, F Dean Lueking
Bachelor of Divinity
The goal of this thesis is to examine the main materials in which SØren Kierkegaard presents the three stages of existence. The emphasis will be on the chief content of each category of existence, namely the aesthetic, the ethical and the religious. We will treat the third category, the religious, according to Kierkegaard's own two-told division of the religious stage--Religion A and Religion B. It will be apparent in the pages which follow that the scope of this effort is narrowed to only the principal concepts of each category of existence. Material of this thesis does not cover the entire …
A Study Of Hindu Eschatology, Kenneth W. Behnken
A Study Of Hindu Eschatology, Kenneth W. Behnken
Bachelor of Divinity
The eschatological emphasis as it is found in Christianity and its implications for the believer help to make Christianity the unique religion that it is. As God's revelation of Himself. to mankind, Christianity preaches an eternity with God, an eternity of certainty and hope. In contrast with some of the religions developed by man's philosophical invention, it speaks with certainty of the fact, of eternal life with God; in contrast with others it offers a living hope of an existence the marks of which are individuality, purpose, and bliss. It is in the latter category that the Hindu religion stands …
