Critical Methodology And The Lutheran Symbols' Treatment Of The Genesis Creation Accounts, Horace D. Hummel
Critical Methodology And The Lutheran Symbols' Treatment Of The Genesis Creation Accounts, Horace D. Hummel
Concordia Theological Monthly
We must begin by specifying what lexicon we are using. What “critical methodology” in the first place? "Critical" is, no doubt, the usual shorthand for what is commonly labelled "the historical-critical method."
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Satan has brought untold woe upon the Church by inducing the Pope to deny the right of private judgment and suppress the exercise of it. And Satan brings additional woe upon the Church by inducing men to turn the God-given right of private judgment into a license to sit in judgment on Holy Scripture, to criticize and discard it. That is our second proposition: There is an exercise of private judgment which God absolutely forbids and condemns.
Verbal Inspiration- A Stumbling-Block To The Jews And Foolishness To The Greeks, Th. Engelder
Verbal Inspiration- A Stumbling-Block To The Jews And Foolishness To The Greeks, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Before examining three further objections against Verbal Inspiration, it will be well to pause a while and survey the disaster wrought by the contention of the moderns that the Bible contains a lot of (1) errors, (2) immoralities, and (3) trivialities. Amplifying previous remarks on this subject, we would here present a comprehensive view of the frightful consequences of the denial of Verbal Inspiration. The moderns do untold harm (1) to the Church and (2) to themselves.

We are asked to give up the doctrine of verbal inspiration because of the alleged erroneousness of the Bible. The moderns are asking us to do that. And our own flesh is suggesting it. We find it impossible to do so. One reason for that is that the arguments advanced by the rationalists against the infallibility of Scripture are in conflict with sound reason. We shall demonstrate this in a later article, and that demonstration will serve a good purpose.
Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder
Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
There are more rationalists in the churches than go by that name. It is not a nice name. Rationalism is, as we have shown in the preceding articles, an ugly, wicked thing. It sets itself above Scripture, above God. Who would want to proclaim himself a rationalist? Our Liberals indeed are not ashamed of the name. But the great majority of theologians dislikes it. However, many of them, very many of them, are doing the very same thing the rationalists have been doing, and they do it because they like it. They fall into two groups. The first group, made …

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
What? Some more rattling of dry bones? As though we had to be told what an abominable and dangerous thing rationalism is! Just read on. The thing is not so dead as you may think. We are dealing with a live issue. There are many more rationalists in the churches than the census lists. Your own theological thinking may have more of a rationalistic bias than you are aware of. And in our spiritual struggles we are inclined to heed the insidious logic of reason more than the sure Word of Scripture, the certain promise of the Gospel. So the …
