The Lessons Of Schwagerehe, Edward E. Busch Nov 1973

The Lessons Of Schwagerehe, Edward E. Busch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Traditional interpretations of Bible passages can have very long lives and can survive strong challenges if they are rooted deeply enough in the culture of a people. A case in point is the idea of Schruagerehe or marriage of in-laws.


Darkness At Noon: Mark's Passion Narrative, Robert H. Smith Nov 1973

Darkness At Noon: Mark's Passion Narrative, Robert H. Smith

Concordia Theological Monthly

The puzzle of Mark's Gospel is not how Jesus can be both human and divine, son of Mary, and Son of God. The mystery has to do rather with the cloud brooding over this Jesus as He proceeds to a lonely and forsaken death. Over all His days as over all His words and works, over His power and His weakness, over His speech and His silence, there falls the shadow of the cross. How can such a portrait be "the good news of Jesus Christ" (1:1)? How can this somber and sobering document be called a "gospel"?


A Study Guide For "The Soteriological Approach To Christian Doctrine", Ronald W. Roschke Nov 1973

A Study Guide For "The Soteriological Approach To Christian Doctrine", Ronald W. Roschke

Concordia Theological Monthly

The study guide is designed to be used with the entire section of Mayer’s book dealing with the soteriological approach. This includes some material in lessons 3 and 5 not included in this reprint. We have included the page numbers of those materials in Mayer (according to the 1961 edition) so that those who have access to the full volume may use it. Furthermore, those questions dealing with these materials are marked with an *. We have attempted to construct these questions in such a way that discussion can take place even if all members of the class do not …


Documentation: Authority In The Church, C. F. Walther, Arnold Krugler (Translator) Nov 1973

Documentation: Authority In The Church, C. F. Walther, Arnold Krugler (Translator)

Concordia Theological Monthly

In 1879 Dr. Walther delivered a long essay to Iowa Lutheran congregations who were reluctant to join the Synod because they feared the Synod would arrogate to itself excessive authority over them. With extensive citations from Scripture, Luther, the Lutheran Confessions, and the Lutheran fathers, Walther developed his concept of the proper relationship between Synod and congregations.

The Soteriological Approach To Christian Doctrine., F. E. Mayer Nov 1973

The Soteriological Approach To Christian Doctrine., F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Confessions present all Christian doctrine from the soteriological standpoint, that is, from the meaning each has for our salvation. Each and every doctrine of Christian revelation must be viewed in actu, not only in statu; it must be within the focus of a real spiritual problem and be presented only in its soteriological significance.

The Future Of Christian Education In The Missouri Synod: A Matter Of Self-Understanding, Stephen A. Schmidt Sep 1973

The Future Of Christian Education In The Missouri Synod: A Matter Of Self-Understanding, Stephen A. Schmidt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Permit me to outline the remarks. I will trace briefly the historical benchmarks of our cultural and ecclesiastical past. Secondly, I will develop candid suggestions about the revitalization of that heritage for our present and future. Naturally in the second enterprise one ceases to be historian, risking rather the role of prophet, a dubious undertaking for any person doing history. But there is some comfort in the words of the British philosopher of history, W. H. Walsh, who writes: "Historians may not be prophets but they are often in a position to prophesy."

Teaching The Faith: Models And Methods, Stephen A. Schmidt Sep 1973

Teaching The Faith: Models And Methods, Stephen A. Schmidt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Now our task is far more limited. I want to focus on the Christian classroom and specifically on the act of teaching the faith. I will develop my remarks in two parts. The first consideration will deal with past and present models used within the church to define the teaching act designed to teach faith. Secondly, I will attempt to underline crucial concerns toward a useful teaching method not only for the 1970s but for the future as well.


Six Christian Sermons On The Way To Lutheran Unity, Robert Kolb Sep 1973

Six Christian Sermons On The Way To Lutheran Unity, Robert Kolb

Concordia Theological Monthly

Four hundred years ago this year Evangelical theologians throughout Germany were picking up a new ninety-nine page book published in Tuebingen and saying something like, "What has the smithy forged this time?" James Andreae, or Schmiedlein, born the son of a smith - a fact his better-born antagonists never let him forget -was in 1573 one of the most prominent and one of the most reviled theologians in Germany.


Luther And The Late Medieval Augustinians: Another Look, David C. Steinmetz Sep 1973

Luther And The Late Medieval Augustinians: Another Look, David C. Steinmetz

Concordia Theological Monthly

The question of the relationship of Martin Luther to the theological traditions of his own order, to which he was exposed in a lesser or greater degree, has remained one of the interesting, if unsolved problems of Luther research.

Rejoicing In Mercy: Unity In Diversity, John W. Constable May 1973

Rejoicing In Mercy: Unity In Diversity, John W. Constable

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has adopted an apt slogan to celebrate a century and a quarter of its existence: "Rejoicing in Mercy." The Lord has been good to our beloved Synod and has given us so much. A quarter of a century ago we celebrated "A Century of Grace;" a half-century ago we cried "Ebenezer" - "the Lord hath helped us hitherto."


Deliverance At The Sea: Diversity And Unity In A Biblical Theme, Arlis J. Ehlen May 1973

Deliverance At The Sea: Diversity And Unity In A Biblical Theme, Arlis J. Ehlen

Concordia Theological Monthly

The present study will first examine the diversity to be observed in references to the Reed Sea event outside the Book of Exodus. The second section will then trace the fourfold witness underlying the most extensive account of the event, that found in Ex. 13-15. As in the case of the fourfold Gospel account in the New Testament, diverse testimonies are seen to reflect the same event, applying it to different needs and situations in the life of God's people. We must learn to avoid leveling the characteristic contours of these individual testimonies into a fiat and uninteresting plain of …


Psychology And Theology: A Return To Dialog, Alan C. Reuter May 1973

Psychology And Theology: A Return To Dialog, Alan C. Reuter

Concordia Theological Monthly

There is a close relationship between Christian theology and contemporary psychology. The Lutheran theological tradition is especially founded in an experiential matrix which gives it a common ground with psychological thought. However, this relationship between theology and psychology has not always been a clear or comfortable one.

In the long plan of God we can imagine one good issue emerging from this debate. That is that the meaning of the Gospel becomes clearer and its preaching to the church and the world more apt and timely.

Social And Religious Attitudes Among Lutheran Students, Kenneth L. Frerking

Concordia Theological Monthly

College students have probably been "'investigated"' more than any other single category of people. They have certainly been the subject of many articles and essays in recent years. However, much of what has been written has either been without empirical basis altogether, or else the empirical research has focused on only a small minority of the campus population.

Hardness Of Heart: A Study In Biblical Thematic, Frederick W. Danker Mar 1973

Hardness Of Heart: A Study In Biblical Thematic, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

Lack of ready acceptance of the Gospel by all people was a perplexing problem, especially so for the early church. At stake were not only the credentials of Jesus as the Christ but also the authority of the apostolic message. If God's own people rejected Jesus, could He still be considered a viable candidate for Israel's highest office? And if the church's heralds were the instruments of proclamation of the Word of salvation, why was response to the message so spotty and relatively fruitless? Earnest assessment of the problem led early theologians to their customary quarry, the Old Testament, for …


Martin Luther's Revision Of The Eucharistic Canon In The Formula Missae Of 1523, Frank C. Senn Mar 1973

Martin Luther's Revision Of The Eucharistic Canon In The Formula Missae Of 1523, Frank C. Senn

Concordia Theological Monthly

Martin Luther was the most conservative of the Reformers when it came to the work of liturgical revision. This was nowhere more evident than in his first effort at revising the Mass for evangelical usage: the Formula missae et communionis of 1523. He retained the use of the Latin language along with the optional use of lights, incense, and vestments. On the whole, the Formula missae faithfully followed the traditional Western structure, sequence, and content of the Mass. It is characterized not by what Luther added to the traditional Mass, but by what he deleted.
