The Lutheran Army Chaplain, Walther A. Huchthausen
The Lutheran Army Chaplain, Walther A. Huchthausen
Bachelor of Divinity
To describe adequately the Lutheran Army chaplain is a little more difficult. Although all the material mentioned would apply to him in a general way, other factors need to be brought into the picture which are not given expression in any of the literature that has been produced about the chaplain and his work. The doctrinal position of our Church, its polity, its missionary character, and its devotion to the Holy Scriptures as the only norm of doctrine and rule of life are all matters which affect the status of the Lutheran Army chaplain, emphasize his need, and tend to …
An Evaluation Of The Nineteeth Century English Hymn Tune For American Lutheran Worship, Elmer N. Witt
An Evaluation Of The Nineteeth Century English Hymn Tune For American Lutheran Worship, Elmer N. Witt
Bachelor of Divinity
Lutheran hymnals continue to increase in size and in choice of hymn tunes. A brief study of The Lutheran Hymnal (1941) of the Missouri Synod shows that the composers of the 380 tunes of the hymnal come in the main from three countries: 18 from America, 59 from England, and 58 from Germany. This trend is borne out in the other Lutheran hymnals published in America during the first 40 years of this century, to perhaps an even more marked degree. If so many of these tunes are coming into the Lutheran Services from extra-Lutheran sources, we also do well …

Lutheran Sola Fide Vs Roman Catholic Ex Opere Operato Of The Basis Of The Confessions, John G. Deterding
Lutheran Sola Fide Vs Roman Catholic Ex Opere Operato Of The Basis Of The Confessions, John G. Deterding
Bachelor of Divinity
Opposed to the sola fide is the doctrine of ex opere operato, i.e., that the sacraments mechanically confer grace upon all who receive them. Faith is not necessary to receive this grace, but the mere outward ceremony effects it mechanically for all those who do not place an obstacle in the way.
The Impact Of The Church On The State In Lutheran And Calvinistic Theology, Roland Lemke
The Impact Of The Church On The State In Lutheran And Calvinistic Theology, Roland Lemke
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
In a study and comparison of Lutheran and Calvinistic theology one finds a considerable difference in points of emphasis. Calvinism especially stresses the sovereignty of God, and this special emphasis colors its entire system of theology. In Lutheran theology, on the other hand, one finds the grace of God through Christ striking a more dominant note.
The Attitude Toward The Confessions Among The Lutherans In The United States From 1800 To 1867, Paul Frederick Maassel
The Attitude Toward The Confessions Among The Lutherans In The United States From 1800 To 1867, Paul Frederick Maassel
Bachelor of Divinity
In the past few years, there have been many discussions concerning Lutheran union. Very often the backgrounds play an important part in understanding some of the problems in connection with Lutheran union. In this paper no attempt is made to connect the past with the present, as space is limited. An attempt is made to show some of the causes for the attitude toward the Confessions of the Lutheran Church which prevailed between 1800 and 1867.

The Critical Evaluation Of The Influence Of William Sihler In The Development Of The Missouri Synod, Lewis William Spitz

Of the three is essential processes in the art of producing history: the gathering of data, the criticism of data, and the presentation of facts in a readable form, the second in the present instance is particularly difficult for one standing within a certain tradition.

Sacramentalism In The Roman Catholic Church, Jack H. Ruff
Sacramentalism In The Roman Catholic Church, Jack H. Ruff
Bachelor of Divinity
In view of the current wave of Romanist propaganda, the purpose of this paper is to re-examine the sacramental system of Rome in the light of the Scriptures and history. Objective examination will show that: a) The sacraments have become the shackl.es to bind men to the Church of Rome, b) The sacramentalism or the Romanists leads to doubt or carnal security, c) The papists' system is inadequate as shown by the very practice of the Catholic Church.
The Decline Of Lutheran Church Music During The Period Of Rationalism, Henry John Eickhoff
The Decline Of Lutheran Church Music During The Period Of Rationalism, Henry John Eickhoff
Bachelor of Divinity
At the head of two centuries of glorious development in the field of Protestant church music stands the figure of Martin Luther. "The ultimate fate of German Protestant music depended on this man who, as a student in Eisenach singing all sorts of merry student songs, and as a celebrant priest familiar with the gradual and the polyphonic Masses and motets, lived with music ringing in his ears." This great influence may be thought of as twofold. Luther gave church music back to the people, thus directly opposing the old tradition of the Roman Church that church music belonged in …
The Life And Work Of Georg Ernest Christian Ferdinand Sievers, August Sueflow
The Life And Work Of Georg Ernest Christian Ferdinand Sievers, August Sueflow
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
It is the purpose of this paper to find out by what process or development the Missouri Synod began to do its work among people of other tongues. When one pages through the old issues of the Lutheraner or Synodal Berichte, he certainly is not swept away by the wave of enthusiasm that the members of Synod expressed in favor of doing mission work.
An Investigation Into The Effectiveness Of Preaching For The Purpose Of Teaching Christian Doctrine, Martin Brauer
An Investigation Into The Effectiveness Of Preaching For The Purpose Of Teaching Christian Doctrine, Martin Brauer
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This thesis is "An Investigation of the Effectiveness of Preaching for the Purpose of Teaching Christian Doctrine." By Christian Doctrine we mean everything that the Bible tells us about God, His nature, His work and His attitude toward man, and everything that the Bible tells us about the origin, purpose, and destiny of man, his nature, and his relationship to God. Men and God are the great theme of Scripture. Everything that the Bible says can some way or another be fitted under this theme.
An Historical Survey Of Liturgical Vestments For Clergy And Sanctuary With Final Reference To Good Lutheran Usage, Harry Krieger
An Historical Survey Of Liturgical Vestments For Clergy And Sanctuary With Final Reference To Good Lutheran Usage, Harry Krieger
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
In other cases unfortunately, the Liturgical trend has produced no improvement, but quite the opposite. Individuals and groups have been swept along by it, to be sure, but have adopted much that is questionable, if not thoroughly repugnant, because they were impressed with the novelty of the thing adopted, or because it was supposed to be an improvement. As a case in point we mention the imprimatur which a large Lutheran body in America recently placed upon the wearing of a colored stole over an academic robe or so-called Genenva gown, in violation both of liturgical principles and historic practice. …
