The Doctrine Of Salvation According To The Minor Prophets, W W. Bentrup
The Doctrine Of Salvation According To The Minor Prophets, W W. Bentrup
Bachelor of Divinity
A complete and thorough study of the doctrine of salvation presented in the Old Testament is beyond the scope of a Bachelor of Divinity thesis. Several factors made it advisable to restrict the research to the Minor Prophets. Nevertheless, to complete the picture, a brief survey of what the Old Testament has to say on the subject of salvation is naturally in place in order to supply the necessary background for the thesis.

Believing that theology in the past has been concerned too much with the mere “intellectual interrelations of certain concepts,” churchmen are today advocating a greater emphasis on the “functioning of the religious consciousness.” This movement has aroused a wide-spread aversion to doctrine and a passion …
The Roman Catholic Doctrine Of Infused Grace Examined And Refuted, Herman W. Gockel
The Roman Catholic Doctrine Of Infused Grace Examined And Refuted, Herman W. Gockel
