Melanchthon The Theologian, Robert D. Preus
Melanchthon The Theologian, Robert D. Preus
Concordia Theological Monthly
It would seem impossible that the theme "Melanchthon the Theologian," which is as comprehensive as it is indefinite, could be discussed satisfactorily in any brief presentation. The actual purpose and scope of this study is, however, narrower than the rather general theme might indicate. I propose to consider Melanchthon’s contributions to that discipline which is now known as dogmatics, to trace the impact of his systematic bent upon Lutheran theology, to delineate some of his main ideas on theology, and thus to assess him as a theologian.

Concordia Theological Monthly
Luther speaks directly to us in German language; Melanchthon in Latin. This may have some significance whether or not we agree with Schiller that the "soul of a people is in its language."
Scripture And Tradition In The Council Of Trent, Richard Baepler
Scripture And Tradition In The Council Of Trent, Richard Baepler
Concordia Theological Monthly
This study deals with the historical circumstances surrounding the Roman Catholic doctrinal decision at the Council of Trent regarding the authority of Scripture and tradition. By examining this decision in the light of events which led to its formulation as well as in the light of its subsequent fate, we shall be introduced to an issue which has become very much alive in both Roman Catholic and Protestant thought.
The Doctrine Of Justification And Reconciliation In The Theology Of Karl Barth, Robert D. Preus
The Doctrine Of Justification And Reconciliation In The Theology Of Karl Barth, Robert D. Preus
Concordia Theological Monthly
The doctrine of reconciliation is among the last subjects Barth has spoken on. This doctrine is presented in Vol. IV of his Church Dogmatics and embraces three parts. In Barth's dogmatics reconciliation includes not only the doctrine of the atonement and justification but also the work and person of Christ and the application of salvation (conversion and sanctification).
