What Can Synod Do In Order That There Be More Uniformity In The Externals Of Our Public Services?, F. J. Seltz
What Can Synod Do In Order That There Be More Uniformity In The Externals Of Our Public Services?, F. J. Seltz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Not only has the lack of uniformity been lamented for the past fifty years, especially since the majority of our congregations have regular English services, but of late, through the revival of the study of liturgies in every section of the Christian Church, there have appeared definite symptoms which seem to indicate that just when we were about to be led out of the wilderness of liturgical confusion, we are to be led back into a new liturgical chaos.
A Few Remarks On Col. 2, 18. 19 A, L. T. Wohfeil
A Few Remarks On Col. 2, 18. 19 A, L. T. Wohfeil

This verse has tried the patience of commentators, both ancient and modern, quite consistently. While many have been content to give what seemed to them the most plausible interpretation, a by no means negligible number of others have unwittingly admitted finding their "Waterloo" at this very verse by resorting to conjectures on account of a supposedly corrupt text, though there are, with only one unimportant exception, no variant readings. Like the suicide they consider conjecture the "man's way out,” but seem to forget that tampering with the MS. record may lead to equally serious consequences.
What The Liberal Theologian Thinks Of Verbal Inspiration, Th. Engelder
What The Liberal Theologian Thinks Of Verbal Inspiration, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
He thinks it is an obnoxious thing. He abhors the doctrine that the whole Bible is given by inspiration of God, every word of it absolutely infallible. He execrates verbal inspiration. J. S. Whale, a Congregationalist, president of Chesunt College, Cambridge, takes occasion to speak of it in his treatise The Christian Answer to the Problem of Evil, published 1936. He speaks of it in this wise: "The modern man is not impressed by the mere citation of texts; he rightly wants to understand them in their context.
Romanism, Calvinism, And Lutheranism On The Authority Of Scripture, F. E. Mayer
Romanism, Calvinism, And Lutheranism On The Authority Of Scripture, F. E. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The desire for a large Pan-Protestant union has endeavored to minimize the theological differences between Lutheranism and Calvinism. True, Luther and Calvin had many things in common, e.g., the rejection of Pelagianism and the Roman hierarchical system. But only too often the divergent conceptions of sin and grace, of faith and works, of atonement and justification, of repentance and sanctification, are viewed only as minor differences.

The Pastor And His Sermon, E. J. Friedrich
Concordia Theological Monthly
In the course of the last fifteen or twenty years much was said and done to discredit the pulpit as an instrument of power in the building of the kingdom of God. Even within the sanctuary itself strident voices proclaimed with prophetic finality that the pulpit had lost its power and that the day of preaching had passed forever. Systematic efforts were put forth in many quarters to supplant the preacher by religious technicians in the fields of worship, education, social service, and organization; and men quite generally staked their hopes for a virile and world-conquering Church upon agencies and …
Justification, Santification, And Stewardship In Their Aims And Relation To Each Other, W. Arndt
Justification, Santification, And Stewardship In Their Aims And Relation To Each Other, W. Arndt
Concordia Theological Monthly
''Three hackneyed terms," some one may say. "Why waste valuable time on them when there are greater subjects to discuss?" But are there? Is it not true that, If we really knew what these terms signify, if we knew not only their dictionary definition, but were thoroughly intimate with them by much contemplation, consideration, and cultivation, ''tasting, touching, and handling them," gratefully and reverently, there would be a great change in our attitude and mode of life, a rejuvenation of our spiritual energies, the suppression of the spirit of pessimism and lethargy, and the beginning of a new era of …
The Pastor And His Office, J. H. Fritz
The Pastor And His Office, J. H. Fritz
Concordia Theological Monthly
"Our office is a different thing now than what it was under the Pope; it has now become earnest and salutary. Hence it involves much more trouble and labor, danger and trial, and secures but little reward and gratitude in the world; but Christ Himself will be our reward if we labor faithfully." So Luther wrote in the preface to his Small Catechism four hundred years ago. Does the pastor of today think in such terms of his pastoral office?
