Brunner And Luther On Scriptural Authority, H. Armin Moellering Nov 1950

Brunner And Luther On Scriptural Authority, H. Armin Moellering

Concordia Theological Monthly

In its struggle with Roman Catholicism the Reformation made its appeal from tradition and an authoritatively interpreting Church to the Scriptures. This basic approach of the Reformers is obvious and universally recognized. Some writers, nonetheless, have failed to note the complete cleavage between Romanism and the Reformers at this point. Emil Brunner sees clearly that whatever the token deference of Rome to the authority of Scripture may be, in point of fact Rome forsakes Scripture and rests her authority in the interpretive and teaching office of the Church. Rome operates with "die massgebende Autoritaet der kirchlichen Schriftauslegung."


John's Gospel In Current Literature, Walter G. Heyne Nov 1950

John's Gospel In Current Literature, Walter G. Heyne

Concordia Theological Monthly

Who wrote the Fourth Gospel? For centuries there had been almost unanimous agreement on this point. Tradition, based on very ancient authorities, as well as the book itself all seemed to agree that it was the work of John, the Beloved Disciple, son of Zebedee. But about the turn of the eighteenth century, students of the Bible were shaken by voices which dared to question this supposedly impregnable claim. In England a man by the name of Evanson ( ca. 1790) attributed the Gospel to some Platonic philosopher of the second century. Six years later a German named Eckermann took …


Religious Beliefs And Practices At Irelya, New Guinea, As Reported By Natives, Willard Bruce Nov 1950

Religious Beliefs And Practices At Irelya, New Guinea, As Reported By Natives, Willard Bruce

Concordia Theological Monthly

Among the world's islands New Guinea is second in size only to Greenland. With 312,000 square miles, it is roughly equal to the combined areas of Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. In two features of its physical geography it is unique. No other of the larger islands has such a great proportion of mountainous country; and no area of like size anywhere else in the world has such high rainfalls. No one knows how many people inhabit New Guinea, but the Australian Commonwealth Office of Education estimates that in the eastern half alone there are at least 1,050,000 …

A Critique Of Contemporary Lutheran Preaching, Erdman W. Frenk Oct 1950

A Critique Of Contemporary Lutheran Preaching, Erdman W. Frenk

Concordia Theological Monthly

Preaching, i.e., the public proclamation of the Word of God, is the chief function of the Christian ministry. It is duty number one on a pastor's functional docket. It is his first and foremost responsibility. It was this in the early Church. It became this again through the Reformation. It must be this in the Church of our day. At the top of any list cataloguing the duties of a pastor in the order of their importance, preaching must stand first. If there is one field in which the pastor will seek to excel, it is in preaching.

Reconciliation And Justification, Adolf Koeberle Sep 1950

Reconciliation And Justification, Adolf Koeberle

Concordia Theological Monthly

Only he can understand the concept "reconciliation" who has experienced the implications of the separation between God and man and between man and God. He who ignores this mysterium iniquitatis and refuses to see the wide chasm between the holy God and the guilty creature cannot comprehend the glory of the concept "atonement," but on the contrary will in a rebellious spirit be offended at it.

The Buddhist Concept Of Death, Paul Heerboth Aug 1950

The Buddhist Concept Of Death, Paul Heerboth

Concordia Theological Monthly

The manifest turmoil and unrest of these latter days-atheistic Communism, idolatrous materialism, Iron Curtain barbarism, A-bomb fears, and now the "H" - are but a coarser outburst, a more inflamed symptom, of the fundamental problem of all centuries - "How can man in sin overcome his separation from God?” "How can man conquer death which without Christ makes this separation from God forever painful and forever permanent?" All mankind - also those who call themselves Buddhists - face this inescapable problem - the problem of death. Like all mankind, so also the Buddhists, though in a more comprehensive and attractive …


The Pastor And Synod's Handbook, Arnold H. Grumm Aug 1950

The Pastor And Synod's Handbook, Arnold H. Grumm

Concordia Theological Monthly

"What a dreary and technical subject for an occasion like this, some might say, ''The Pastor and Synod's Handbook." Why not ''The Pastor and His Bible," or "The Pastor and His Sermon," or something else that has living value? What compelling interest can the Handbook of Synod have for a graduate of Concordia Seminary who, call in hand, is ready to enter the active ministry?


The Sacerdotai Office Of Christ According To The Letter To The Hebrews, George Stoeckhardt Aug 1950

The Sacerdotai Office Of Christ According To The Letter To The Hebrews, George Stoeckhardt

Concordia Theological Monthly

By His one sacrifice Christ has obtained an eternal salvation, which requires nothing to supplement it. By His sacrifice our sins are expiated once and for all, and our iniquity is atoned. In the very center of our Christian faith stands this Jesus Christ, who on the great Day of Atonement of the New Testament died and shed His blood for us. But even though Christ sacrificed Himself only once, even though the real work of redemption and reconciliation is completed, yet Christ has not relinquished His high-priestly office. The Epistle to the Hebrews throughout directs our attention to the …

The Sacerdotai Office Of Christ According To The Letter To The Hebrews, George Stoeckhardt Jul 1950

The Sacerdotai Office Of Christ According To The Letter To The Hebrews, George Stoeckhardt

Concordia Theological Monthly

The sacerdotal office of Christ reaches into the very heart and soul of our Christian faith. Christ's sacrifice, blood, and death alone provide for us true comfort in life and death. The doctrine of the sacerdotal sacrifice of Christ is the great truth with which Christian preachers arc constantly operating. Luther once remarked that a Christian preacher plays constantly on this one string. From it he may, of course, elicit a great variety of tunes and sounds. It is not necessary always to say the same things in the same words. Looking into the Scriptures, we find one and the …


The Christian And Government, A. M. Rehwinkel Jul 1950

The Christian And Government, A. M. Rehwinkel

Concordia Theological Monthly

The form of government under which we live is a democracy. "Democracy" means rule by the people. It means that sovereignty in a democracy is vested in the people, and "sovereignty" means supreme power. We, the people of the United States, are the sovereigns of this nation. The Government officials in Washington, in our State capitals, and in the seats of our municipal governments are our agents and delegates bound to respect the will of the people. But this also means that the people are responsible for the attitude and actions of their government. Every privilege has a corresponding responsibility, …

The Validity Of Conditional Prayer And The Providence Of God, Robert Spieler Jun 1950

The Validity Of Conditional Prayer And The Providence Of God, Robert Spieler

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the problem stated towards the end of' establishing unequivocally the fact that conditional prayer is a valid reality in the realm of God's providence. A solution of the problem is, of course, impossible on any other premises except those which are faithful to Scripture. It will be noted how the systems of rational philosophy serve only to establish the impossibility of reconciling the fact of God’s providence with the fact of conditional prayer. According to such systems, the problem is usually solved by denying either the reality of conditional prayer or …


The Geological Implications Of Genesis Ch 1-11, Fred Kramer Jun 1950

The Geological Implications Of Genesis Ch 1-11, Fred Kramer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This thesis is written on the premise that God has given man two books from which he may learn to know Him, the book or nature and the Holy Scripture. There can be no contradiction between these two books. Where men have affirmed contradictions between them, e.g., on scientific grounds, they either misinterpreted scientific data or the words or Scripture.


The Prophectic Office Of Christ And The Power Of The Word, Ralph Fischer Jun 1950

The Prophectic Office Of Christ And The Power Of The Word, Ralph Fischer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this thesis is to set forth that the power of the Word also lies in the prophetic office of Christ, as it is revealed in both the Old and New Testaments and in the oral and written word today. In order to show the power, which the Holy Spirit exerts through the Word, a short section will be devoted to His relationship to the Word. The concluding chapters will set forth the characteristics and the efficacy of the Word. In addition, each section of the outline will be considered as a separate chapter throughout the entire thesis. …


The Eschatological Tension Of The Kingdom Of God And Interpretations By American Protestant Theology, Vernon Schreiber Jun 1950

The Eschatological Tension Of The Kingdom Of God And Interpretations By American Protestant Theology, Vernon Schreiber

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this paper· is to examine the New Testament teaching of the Kingdom of God and analyze, with limitations the development of' the concept of the Kingdom in American Protestant theology. In our quest for an understanding of the problems raised by an investigation of American theological utterances concerning the Kingdom of God, we have turned first of all, to the New Testament presentation of the Kingdom of God.


The New Creation In Christ, Walter Bartling Jun 1950

The New Creation In Christ, Walter Bartling

Concordia Theological Monthly

All modern studies of the ἐν χοιστψ̄ formula take as their starting point the fascinating dissertation of Adolf Deissmann, which appeared in 1892. It is hardly possible to overestimate the influence this book has had upon research in Pauline theology. Deissmann's basic conclusion, that the ἐν of the formula has throughout a local significance, rests, no doubt, upon a proper grammatical insight and has received but slight modification by later scholars.


The Christian And Government, A. M. Rehwinkel Jun 1950

The Christian And Government, A. M. Rehwinkel

Concordia Theological Monthly

Government is not above the Moral I.aw, but subject to it. In fact, government exists for the maintenance of the moral order. "For he is the minister of God to thee for good; but if thou do that which is evil, be afraid" (Rom.13:4). Governments cannot abrogate the Moral Law nor any of the Commandments of the Decalog. The legislation and administration of law must be in harmony with the Moral Law. Governments are responsible to God. "For he is a minister of God."


The Roman Catholic And Lutheran Doctrine Of Sin, Alfred Frank Volmer Jun 1950

The Roman Catholic And Lutheran Doctrine Of Sin, Alfred Frank Volmer

Bachelor of Divinity

However, while there are apparent similarities, it must be pointed out that the actual similarity or dissimilarity of churches does not consist in their external rites and ceremonies but in their teachings. Therefore, in order to get an accurate picture, it is necessary that we examine the doctrine of each church. However, since we cannot treat all the doctrines we shall take a basic one, namely, the doctrine of sin. The writer will attempt to set forth the official teachings of both churches on this one doctrine.


Emil Brunner's Criticisms Of The Epistemology Of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Hubert Riedel Jun 1950

Emil Brunner's Criticisms Of The Epistemology Of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Hubert Riedel

Bachelor of Divinity

This essay will address itself as its title indicates, to “Brunner's criticisms of the epistemology of Schleiermacher." It will, therefore, deal with Schleiermacher chiefly in terms of Brunner's criticisms of him, and particularly, in terms of the Reden, against which the chief criticisms are directed.


The Logos Concept Of Justin Martyr-Relation To The Person, The Natures, And The States Of Existence Of The Logos, Marcus T. Lang Jun 1950

The Logos Concept Of Justin Martyr-Relation To The Person, The Natures, And The States Of Existence Of The Logos, Marcus T. Lang

Bachelor of Divinity

The main purpose, or course, of' the apologies in general, and of the use or the Logos concept in these apologies in particular, was to present to the unbelieving world a justification for the worship of' Christ by the Christians. Since the Logos concept was a current and accepted one in both the pagan and Jewish world, if it could successfully be identified with the person of Jesus Christ, a great victory would be won. And, to a large degree, that attempt was eventually successful, as Dean Inge points out when he characterizes the Logos-doctrine as "the formula which converted …


Amerindian Creation Myths And A Common Tradition, Robert L. Lail Jun 1950

Amerindian Creation Myths And A Common Tradition, Robert L. Lail

Bachelor of Divinity

Thus the reader has been led to the subject of this thesis. He is aware of a universal consistency of beliefs. It is quite evident that there is a likeness between these beliefs and the accounts of Scripture. The reader is also aware of the fact that there is a difference of opinion among students of anthropology concerning the origin of these similarities. With this overall view in mind, the author has decided to limit the investigation to creation myths, and, with these, the concept of a Creator-God. The author has limited the thesis further to myths and fragments of …


The Resurrection Of The Body In Its Significance For Sanctification, Paul Single Jun 1950

The Resurrection Of The Body In Its Significance For Sanctification, Paul Single

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the purpose of this paper to consider the import of the placement of the resurrection of the body into the Third Article of the Creed, showing the significance which the resurrection of the body has for sanctification. In order to do this it will be necessary to trace the importance ascribed to the body from the creation of man at the beginning of the world to the final consummation in heaven. It will be shown that the body is included in the eternal purpose of God and in His acts concerning man, and it will be pointed out …
