The Blast That Wrecked The Pope's Power, Theo. Hoyer Sep 1936

The Blast That Wrecked The Pope's Power, Theo. Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Some years ago a writer in the Concordia Theological Monthly (I, 571-581) pointed out that the dynamic of Luther’s Reformation was his clear and powerful preaching of justification by faith alone. By his own experience Luther, by the grace of God, had recognized that the solo fide alone can give positive assurance to the sinner of God's pardon and his own eternal salvation; what he had found he taught and preached to others who were seeking certainty for the eternity beyond the grave and failed to find it in the work-righteousness of the papal teaching; and so Luther became the …

King Henry Viii Courts Luther, W. Dallmann Aug 1936

King Henry Viii Courts Luther, W. Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

On March 11, 1535, Dr. Barnes, "the king's chaplain and professor of theology," was again in Wittenberg, "treating only- of the second marriage of the king," and trying very hard to get Melanchthon to go to England. Of course, he did not win the Lutherans to approve of the divorce.


The Greatness Of Luther's Commentary On Galatians, R. T. Du Brau Aug 1936

The Greatness Of Luther's Commentary On Galatians, R. T. Du Brau

Concordia Theological Monthly

If some theologians and historians declare to have been disappointed with Luther's Galatians, it is because they looked for a commentary more learned and critical than popular. It was not intended to be a critical study in the present philological sense of the term. Nor does the work hold out the slightest shred of comfort to the Modernist. During the stormy years that gave birth to this commentary Luther had too much practical work of prior importance on his hands to find leisure for comparative and critical exegesis.


Luther, Bucer, And The Wittenberg Concordia, P. E. Kretzmann May 1936

Luther, Bucer, And The Wittenberg Concordia, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

May 20 of this year will mark the four-hundredth anniversary of the Wittenberg Concordia, an event which is usually not given the prominence which its significance during a critical period of the Reformation really merits. The occasion deserves attention not only on account of the important positions occupied by the chief participants, Luther, Bugenhagen, Melanchthon, Bucer, Capito, and others, but also on account of the significance of the doctrines concerned in the controversy and the far-reaching influence of the modus operandi employed by the prominent men engaged in the attempt to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond …


The First Three Bibles That Entered The Early Life Of Martin Luther, E. A. Brueggemann Feb 1936

The First Three Bibles That Entered The Early Life Of Martin Luther, E. A. Brueggemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

He was surprised that the Bible contained more than the Gospel- and the Epistle-lessons of the church-year. He was pleased with the story of Hanna and Samuel. But he had not had before, nor did he have now or for the next two years, any predilection for the Bible. We know of no instance nor occasion during the years of his adolescence when he ever expressed a desire or eagerness to study the Scriptures.
