Biblical Hermeneutics And Hebraism In The Early Seventeenth Century As Reflected In The Work Of John Weemse (1579-1636), Jay Shim

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

This dissertation presents a contextual and historical understanding of hermeneutical works of post-Reformation Reformed orthodoxy, and the flow of exegetical tradition within orthodox theology from the Reformation to the early seventeenth century. Virtually all of the older modern studies interpreted post- Reformation theology and its biblical study as "dogmatic," "deductive," "rationalistic," and "unspiritual," descriptions allegedly made in a comparison and contrast of the characteristics of post-Reformation thought with the theology of the early sixteenth century. These pejorative descriptions typically state that post-Reformation biblical exegesis was a deductive reading of dogmas into Scripture using a predetermined dogmatic analogy of faith. This …

The Liturgical Confession Of The Lord's Supper In Five Representative Orders Of 16th Century Lutheranism, William Weedon

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In the ceremonies she retained, in the ceremonies she added, the Lutheran church of the 16th century gave a solemn public confession of her doctrine regarding the holy eucharist. Her liturgy gives ample testimony to what she confessed and taught regarding the nature of the sacrament, its benefits, and its proper use. The examination of this liturgy as public confession is the burden and joy of this thesis.

Feast And Yeast-A Study Of Two Categories Of Eucharistic Motifs Of The Early Church Later Recovered By Luther And Chemnitz, David Groth

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The first purpose of this thesis will be to explore the Lord's Supper as it was understood and celebrated by the early Fathers. The subject of our focus will be the two categories of motifs employed by the early Fathers. The first category will study how the early Fathers thought of the Lord's Supper as food. These motifs are collected under chapter one and will consider how the early Fathers saw connections between the Lord's Supper and food (such as the Passover meal, food for the journey, etc.) The second category will study how the early Fathers thought of the …

Mein Liebes Schones Confitemini-An Analysis Of Dr. Martin Luther's Translation Of Psalm 118, Paul Landgraf

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Of the one hundred and fifty Psalms, Luther's favorite was without a doubt Psalm 118. He loved it enough to give a nickname commensurate to his beloved wife. While summarizing each of the Psalms in 1531 he called this one "mein liebes schones Confitemini.” The last word in the title betrays how familiar indeed the Latin translation of the Psalm had become to him. This personal reference was a brief, unique, and clear attempt to acclaim the Psalm's great worth.

Church Growth, Numbers, And Record Keeping, John W. Ellas

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Counting disciples, tracking trends, and keeping good records have all been criticized aspects of the Church Growth Movement since its founding. While several writers have spoken to these criticisms over the years, the article, “Church Growth, Numbers, and Record Keeping” by Dr. John W. Ellas is one of the best responses ever written. He carefully presents the biblical foundations, answers the major criticisms, and offers six values for counting disciples.

Historical Clarity: Disciple-Making And The Church Growth Movement, Robert D. Hooper

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

The Church Growth Movement relies heavily on the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) for much of its passion and theological foundation. Yet there is confusion among various writers in the movement as to what specifically the command to “make disciples” implies. Dr. Robert Hopper wrestles with this issue in his article “Historical Clarity: Disciple-Making and the Church Growth Movement.”

Frank C. Laubach And The Challenge Of Literary Evangelism, J. Gregory Lawson

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

This article reviews the legacy of Frank Charles Laubach (1884-1970). Laubach pioneered an evangelistic approach often called “literary evangelism” whereby churches taught illiterate peoples to read and thereby witnessed for Christ. This approach has been effectively used on the mission field and may be an effective way to win people to Christ in the urban centers of North America. Laubach believed that a church should teach numerous kinds of illiterates (people groups), i.e., illiterate adults, foreign peoples, school drop-outs, children needing remedial reading, prisoners, and juvenile delinquents. Many of these people groups are found in our cities.

How Socially Conservative Were The Elizabethan Religious Radicals?, Peter Iver Kaufman

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

Social historians have long suspected that religious convictions made a difference in the sixteenth century, and historians of the late Tudor religious and political settlements have recently emphasized the differences that advanced forms of Calvinism are alleged to have made. They say that religious radicals--puritans and precisianists, to their contemporary critics--were social conservatives who thought wealth was a blessing and poverty a curse. According to Keith Wrightson and David Levine, the "firmly committed Puritans among the yeomen of the parish" promoted a "sense of social distance" between themselves ("the better sort") and the less respectable. The 1995 republication of Wrightson's …
