Religion And The Modern World Picture, Theodore Graebner
Religion And The Modern World Picture, Theodore Graebner
Concordia Theological Monthly
The scientific world picture has undergone greater changes in the past forty years than in the preceding four centuries. For one thing, the materialistic view which controlled the study of the cosmos has crashed. But that is not all. To adapt our idea of the physical world to the demands of reason "requires of scientific thought one of the greatest changes in orientation which it has ever had to make in its secular effort." The words are those of Louis de Broglie in the volume announced (p. 261).
The Una Sancta In Luther's Theology, F. E. Mayer
The Una Sancta In Luther's Theology, F. E. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Luther's concept of the Una Sancta was first and last soteriological; not sociological, not statistical, not organizational, not eschatological. Luther's emphasis on soteriology in his definition of the Church can be understood only in the light of his theological principle. Scholastic theology had not satisfied him. Its Aristotelian method had failed to bring assurance of peace to his heart, and its autosoteric principles had been unable to quiet his conscience. The Apostle's message: "The sinner is justified by faith alone," changed Luther's theology both as to method and to content.
Haec Dixit Dominus Ii, Th. Engelder
Haec Dixit Dominus Ii, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Men are asserting that Luther had no right to say of his teaching: "Haec dixit Dominus." All that he could say was that according to his interpretation of Scripture He said so and so; and as his opponents said the same, the matter is left in doubt; no man can be divinely sure of his doctrine.
Light From The Papyri On St. Paul's Terminology, Eric C. Malte
Light From The Papyri On St. Paul's Terminology, Eric C. Malte
Concordia Theological Monthly
The problem of defining the type of Greek in the Pauline Epistles has, in the past, afforded ample room for much controversy. It remained for Adolf Deissmann to discover that while the language of the New Testament differs from classical Greek, it is neither "Special Greek," nor "Aramaic Greek," nor "Biblical Greek"; still less is it "tired Greek" or "bad Greek."
Haec Dixit Dominus, Th. Engelder
Haec Dixit Dominus, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Is there such a thing as doctrinal certainty? Luther says: "The preacher must not pray the Lord's Prayer and ask for forgiveness of his sin after his sermon (if he be a true preacher), but must proudly declare with Jeremiah: Lord, “Thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before Thee' (Jer.17: 16); yea, he should declare boldly with Paul and all the Prophets and Apostles: 'Haec dixit Dominus, God Himself hath said this.' Et iterum: 'In this sermon I have been an apostle "and prophet of Jesus Christ. Here it is not necessary, not even good, …
Evangelical Integration Of Color, Carl M. Zorn
Evangelical Integration Of Color, Carl M. Zorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
The status of the Negro in America is rapidly changing. Our Church's work among the colored people is no more a foreign work in the deep South. Soon many Negro churches, also of our Synod, will no longer be subsidized. The economic opportunities of the Negro are being increasingly protected by law and sentiment. The sociological trends of our times emphasize the elimination of ghettos. "Without distinction of race, creed, or color'' is one of the many American shibboleths. People with Negro features are filtering into every phase of our social structure.
Notes On The "Satis Est" In Article Vii Of The Auguatana, John Theodore Mueller
Notes On The "Satis Est" In Article Vii Of The Auguatana, John Theodore Mueller
Concordia Theological Monthly
"And to the true unity of the Church it is enough. "[italics our own] to agree concerning the doctrine of the Gospel and the administration of the Sacraments" (Et ad venam unitatem ecclesiae satis est consentire de doctrina evangelica et administratione sacramentorum). So reads one of the most important statements in the Augsburg Confession. It is inserted between a definition of the "one holy Church" and the rejection of the Romanist teaching that human traditions, that is, rites or ceremonies instituted by men, should everywhere be alike. This antecedent and subsequent context must be kept in mind by all who …
Why Should Our Pastors, Teachers, And Professors Subscribe Unconditionally To The Symbolical Writings Of Our Church?, C. F. Walther
Why Should Our Pastors, Teachers, And Professors Subscribe Unconditionally To The Symbolical Writings Of Our Church?, C. F. Walther
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Symbols are confessions of faith or of the doctrine of the Church and never were intended to be anything more nor less; therefore an unconditional subscription to the Symbols can be interpreted in only one way.
Natural Theology In David Hollaz, Jaroslav Pelikan Jr
Natural Theology In David Hollaz, Jaroslav Pelikan Jr
Concordia Theological Monthly
Christianity is a religion of supernatural revelation: to this "give all the Prophets witness." It is an assertion of the fact that the true meaning of God lies beyond the ken of the unaided human mind. Indeed, the Christian faith is so bold as to assert that "he that loveth not - and only a Christian is capable of ἀγάπη, true love - knoweth not God, for God is Love" (1 John 4:8).
Missouri's Condition Of Church Fellowship, W. Arndt
Missouri's Condition Of Church Fellowship, W. Arndt
Concordia Theological Monthly
When Dr. Behnken, President of the Missouri Synod, had delivered his historic address before the convention of the American Lutheran Conference in Rockford, Ill., November 14, various reactions were voiced in non-Missouri circles. The most notable one which we have seen appeared in the Lutheran Outlook of December, 1946, and was written by the editor, Dr. E. E. Ryden. We believe it will be helpful if we spend a few minutes over some of the remarks of Dr. Ryden to understand his position and to evaluate it properly.
Euthanasia, John H. Fritz
Euthanasia, John H. Fritz
Concordia Theological Monthly
The word euthanasia (eu, well; thanatos, death) was formerly used merely to speak of an easy, painless death. It is now being used in the sense of an intentional cutting short of life in the case of disease, or illness, that may be pronounced incurable and is at the same time very painful-mercy killing. There is little literature on this subject. Consulting a number of encyclopedias, I found that some of them do not consider the subject of sufficient importance and interest to be spoken of at all; even one of the recent encyclopedias does not mention it. And those …
