First Communion And Confirmation, Berthold Von Schenk
First Communion And Confirmation, Berthold Von Schenk
Concordia Theological Monthly
The decision concerning the right age for First Communion is the prerogative of the pastor in the setting of his congregation. Every baptized child of God should receive the sacramental grace imparted in Holy Communion.
Reading Programs In Theology: Forms Of Church And Ministry, Erwin L. Lueker
Reading Programs In Theology: Forms Of Church And Ministry, Erwin L. Lueker
Concordia Theological Monthly
The study of the church can begin with almost any point of philosophy or theology. The church is Christology-Christ taking form in the world. The church is anthropology - people growing into the full stature of manhood. The church is sociology-the really beloved community forming as the body of its Lord. The church is wisdom-the pillar and ground of truth. The church is semantics-the Word taking form not in sign or sound but in flesh and blood. The church is eschatology-the little flock which has received, is received, and will receive the Kingdom. The church is family-a mother nourishes her …
Theological Education: Crisis And Renewal, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
Theological Education: Crisis And Renewal, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
In the course of the confessional revival in the Church of the Augsburg Confession during the 19th and 20th centuries, Lutheran theologians interpreted the statements of the Symbolical Books about the sacred ministry in three typical ways.
The Gospel And Political Structures, Jobst Schoene
The Gospel And Political Structures, Jobst Schoene
Concordia Theological Monthly
The situation which suggests this theme is unique in more than one respect. Hardly ever in the history of theology has there been such intensive and impassioned questioning and contention concerning the relations between the gospel and political structures as today. That this is true also of the discussion within the Lutheran churches becomes evident the moment one investigates the problems posed by the concepts "gospel'' and "political structures." The rapid change of the political structures all over the world renders the answers from the Lutheran tradition, which have only too often been identified with the statements of Scripture and …
Private Confession: A 20th-Century Issue Seen From A 16th-Century Perspective, Theodore Jungkuntz
Private Confession: A 20th-Century Issue Seen From A 16th-Century Perspective, Theodore Jungkuntz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Every knowledgeable theologian today is aware of the resurging interest in the question of private confession, i. e., auricular confession, or more precisely, the individual nature of confession. From professional theological journals to professional journals of psychology and psychiatry, from popular Time and Newsweek magazines to well-documented monographs and religious encyclopedia articles the question is being raised and answered in a variety of ways. The following is an attempt to permit the results of a thorough discussion of the issue more than four centuries ago in the decade from 1530 to 1540 to be of service in the contemporary search …
Principles For The Development Of Adult Premembership Instruction, Robert L. Conrad
Principles For The Development Of Adult Premembership Instruction, Robert L. Conrad
Concordia Theological Monthly
The need for a study was brought forcibly to the author's attention by his membership on a subcommittee of the Board of Parish Education of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. The responsibility of the subcommittee is to formulate principles for adult premembership instruction in The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. The subcommittee could find no existing statement of principles, so it was forced to make a beginning on such a formulation.
What Does "Inerrancy" Mean?, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
What Does "Inerrancy" Mean?, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
This paper is primarily a terminological study rather than a theological one. It inquires into the meaning of, rather than into the justification for, a term that has become a staple of dogmatic discussion in our own and other denominations.
Theological Education In East Asia, Arthur M. Ahlschwede, Arthur C. Repp
Theological Education In East Asia, Arthur M. Ahlschwede, Arthur C. Repp
Concordia Theological Monthly
In response to the 1962 All-Asia Conference of missions affiliated with The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, the Synod in convention in Cleveland, Ohio, encouraged the Board for World Missions to "upgrade its seminaries" in Asia and to "bring recommendations on the establishment of a graduate seminary in the Orient to the next convention of the Synod" (Resolution 2-22, 1963 Proceedings, p.98). The Board for World Missions, therefore, sponsored a second All-Asia Conference at Baguio City Philippines (Oct. 19-29, 1964), to which 26 persons were invited, including representatives from six Asia countries and training centers, the India Evangelical Lutheran Church, …
The Pastor's Role In Social Action, Norman Temme
The Pastor's Role In Social Action, Norman Temme
Concordia Theological Monthly
As the world knocks at the doors of the churches, however, it finds closeted within a sometimes confused, a more often unconcerned, congregation of Christians. It comes seeking help in the form of counsel and guidance, and ends up frequently giving out some advice instead.
The Church And Mixed Marriage, Otto E. Sohn
The Church And Mixed Marriage, Otto E. Sohn
Concordia Theological Monthly
In a certain sense every marriage is a mixed marriage, inasmuch as no two people are completely identical and perfect personalities, hence do not possess the same quality and measure of desirable traits and characteristics which diminish the probability of marital conflict and the necessity of day by day adjustment. Even the most exemplary Christians have sinful natures which make them variable, doing things they should not do, not doing things they should do (Rom. 7:19), and failing to preserve flawless control of themselves, especially when unexpected crises descend upon them. Even the noblest Christian hearts are still tainted with …
Extracongregational Communion Services, Frederick H. Pralle
Extracongregational Communion Services, Frederick H. Pralle
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Church exists in the world to glorify God by bringing the Gospel and the sacraments to the world and thereby keeping Christians in saving faith. The people of the Christian community are also to live their faith in actions of love toward one another and those outside the fellowship of the Christian community. The Church is, therefore, in the world but not of this world.
Bible Study In The Life Of The Church, Oscar E. Feucht
Bible Study In The Life Of The Church, Oscar E. Feucht
Concordia Theological Monthly
At its 44th regular convention (1959) our church resolved "that the Synod reemphasize to its congregations the central place which the Bible has in Lutheran theology and the importance of Bible study in parish life and work." While in its theology our Synod has always emphasized the doctrine of Holy Scripture, the corresponding practice in the life of the church (as also in other ages) has left much to be desired. Bible use has not always reflected the church's teaching on Holy Scripture. It is for this reason that in every generation the church needs to ask itself: Is the …
Walther's Pastoral Theology, Frederick Niedner
Walther's Pastoral Theology, Frederick Niedner
Concordia Theological Monthly
It is unfortunate that the pen that is writing this article should be in my hand. It would be vastly more appropriate and of greatly increased value if this could have been written by one of the men who were in the classroom of Concordia Seminary when Walther taught Pastoraltheogie. I wish it could have been done by the man who held the position of pastor in Immanuel Lutheran Church in St. Charles, Mo., during the 22 years before I held the same position for 32 years, my very worthy predecessor, Dr. Julius A. Friedrich.
Justification In The Theology Of Walther, Erwin L. Lueker
Justification In The Theology Of Walther, Erwin L. Lueker
Concordia Theological Monthly
"A person who wishes to describe Walther as a theologian must above all explain his position on the doctrine of justification." This view of Pieper is in harmony with Walther's own evaluation of theology.

Editorial Comment, Paul M. Bretscher
Concordia Theological Monthly
The fifties of our century produced an unusually large number of theological investigations of the term "tradition." Whether the wide interest in this term resulted from efforts in ecumenical circles to determine precisely what Protestantism means with its accent on the sole authority of Scripture, or whether this interest resulted from the proclamation in 1950 by Pius XII of the dogma of the Bodily Assumption of Mary, or whether other factors contributed to this veritable explosion of investigations of the term "tradition," may be difficult to establish.
