The Development Of Jewish Messianism, Arthur Klinck

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The ancient people of God, too, know of a golden age, but this age is not to be found in the hoary past. All the thoughts of the people, from the pure biblical ideas to the sensuous apocalyptic and rabbinical hopes, point to the future - all are centered in the Messianic idea some form or other.

It is the aim of this study to gather all material in the Apostolic fathers that has any bearing upon Christ, His person and His work; to examine in detail the Christological teachings of .each writer; and finally, in conclusion, to show that there are no stages of development, and that no thought is found in the writings of the Apostolic Fathers that has not been set forth by the New Testament.

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this inquiry is to present a brief resume of Pauline Eschatology in the narrow sense as it is represented in the thirteen Epistles of Paul and in the discourses attributed to him in the Book of the Acts. Since these Epistles and discourses comprehend the cardinal truths of eschatology, the value of this inquiry is obvious.

The Christian Religion Vs Philonism And Stoicism, Otto P. Kretzmann Jan 1924

The Christian Religion Vs Philonism And Stoicism, Otto P. Kretzmann

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The study of Comparative Religions and the application of the evolutionistic principle to the field of religion have in the last decades lent tremendous impetus to inquiries into the origin of Christianity and the philosophical background of the New Testament. Every remnant of the ancient philosophic literature has been carefully examined by writers with a naturalistic tendency in order to discover some natural explanation for the thought and phraseology of the New Testament. An examination of these alleged points of contact, which are supposed to have exerted such a tremendous influence on nascent Christianity, together with a critical estimate of …

At times we were grieved by the blasphemous assertions of men, who refuse to bend their way to embrace plain facts; then again the :naive and arbitrary interpretations of Gunkel and Goldziher have interested and amused us.
