Factors Of Influence In The Development Of Mukyokai, Rodger Grulke
Factors Of Influence In The Development Of Mukyokai, Rodger Grulke
Bachelor of Divinity
It is the intention of this paper to point out those factors of influence in the cultural and historical climate which helped to forge and shape Mukyokai, but also to reveal the importance of a great man who is responsible for its development and continuation. This does not intend to eradicate the importance of individuals and the church in the life of Uchimura Kanzo. However, a movement which maintains fifty thousand members including many prominent individuals in government, education, and theology is the living testimony of a man who deserves recognition as a great theologian and Scholar.
Soren Kierkegaard's Critique Of Nineteenth Century Christiandom, Andrew M. Weyermann
Soren Kierkegaard's Critique Of Nineteenth Century Christiandom, Andrew M. Weyermann
Bachelor of Divinity
Every criticism and evaluation of Kierkegaard’s message is made on his grounds and on the basis of his works. The basic criteria for criticism is the criteria Kierkegaard employed to judge his age; namely, Christianity of the New Testament. As he saw it, his task was to define what it took.ma to be a Christian on the basis of the New Testament. The question is: to what extent does Kierkegaard in his attack actually base his criticism and corrective on the interpretation of Christianity in the New Testament? This question is posed with the recognition that Kierkegaard himself did not …
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.

A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann
A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann
Bachelor of Divinity
Of all the conflicts which Christianity passed through in the early stages of its history, that with philosophy seems to have been the most severe and the most far-reaching in its effects. Judaism was firm and self-reliant, because it was in a sense supernatural; Gentilism was pliable, because it was ignorant and weary of itself; but philosophy was obstinate, because, regarding religions as superstitions, it recognized no special merit in Christianity, and attempted to ridicule it out of existence when its unprepared defenders first announced it. With the representatives of the Epicurean, Stoic and New Academic schools, or with the …
Behaviorism And Christianity, Daniel Coyner
Behaviorism And Christianity, Daniel Coyner
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of our discussion, however, is not so much to reveal the weak features of behaviorism as it is to place it in juxtaposition with Christianity and point out the incongruities. We have seen that the philosophical basis upon which the superstructure of behaviorism has been raised is a problem that has not bothered many of the behaviorists. Most of them have chosen to remain indifferent to this groundwork - apparently because it is not objective enough for them. But whether it be objective or subjective, Christianity has a very definite philosophical basis and our comparison of the two …
