We Love Because He Loved Us First (1 John 4:7-21), Victor Bartling Dec 1952

We Love Because He Loved Us First (1 John 4:7-21), Victor Bartling

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our design in this paper is to present a practical exposition of a Scripture passage in which we who work in the Church hear God speaking to us about that which must live in our hearts if our plans and programs, our skills and techniques, our studies and preaching and teaching, are to enjoy God's approval and blessing.

Sola Gratia, J. W. Behnken Oct 1952

Sola Gratia, J. W. Behnken

Concordia Theological Monthly

To speak on the very important topic "Sola Gratia” within a period of fifteen minutes, and to do this within the framework of the highly significant general theme: "The Gospel establishes and maintains our Lutheran Church," is an assignment to which I cannot even remotely do justice. At best I can refer only to a few major points. We are concerned here with the chief principle of the Reformation. Dr. Luther declared: "The word of grace and forgiveness of sin teaches us that we are justified and saved solely through Christ, without our merit; this is the principal article from …


Three Aspects Of The Way Of Christ And The Church, Martin H. Franzmann Oct 1952

Three Aspects Of The Way Of Christ And The Church, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In 1 Cor. 1:9 St. Paul characterizes the members of the Church as those who have been called by God into fellowship (communion) with His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. This fellowship is a total participation in the whole Christ, a participation which takes a peculiarly vivid and experiential form in Holy Communion (1 Cor.10:16 ff.).


Sin As The Cause Of God's Wrath, Walter Nagel Oct 1952

Sin As The Cause Of God's Wrath, Walter Nagel

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every system of Christian doctrine and dogma treats the subjects of man's sin and its opposing element, God's wrath, as being in some way basic to an understanding of the Christian life. Both matters, however, receive their full due only in the theology of Luther and in our Confessions.


A Look At Current Biblical Cosmologies, C. Gaenssle Oct 1952

A Look At Current Biblical Cosmologies, C. Gaenssle

Concordia Theological Monthly

The writer has long felt that the cosmological schemes found in standard Bible dictionaries, in many modern commentaries, and elsewhere (including even Webster's International. s. v. firmament) call imperatively for a little closer scrutiny. Indeed they are marked by some features so unnatural, in part so utterly fantastic that to anyone who is detached and uncommitted in his thinking they appear more like the product of wild and arbitrary fancy than of calm and objective inquiry.

Give Attendance To Reading, Richard R. Caemmerer Sep 1952

Give Attendance To Reading, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

"Give attendance to reading," St. Paul exhorted Timothy. This exhortation has sometimes been applied to contemporary ministers as follows: Let them keep up their private studies, their reading of the Bible and of the many other materials which enrich their mind and ministry. That is a useful and necessary exhortation. The original intention of 1 Tim. 4:13, however, is simpler. St. Paul tells Timothy that he is to minister faithfully and vigorously to his congregation till St. Paul himself will come. This ministry means bringing the Word of God to people. That he is to do through three routes: reading …


The New Testament Concept Of Fellowship, F. E. Mayer Sep 1952

The New Testament Concept Of Fellowship, F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

This article will suggest three basic principles for a discussion of the term χοινωνία as employed in the New Testament. In view of the significance of this term in the present movement toward Lutheran Union and even World Ecumenicity, the Faculty of Concordia Seminary at St. Louis, Mo., devoted several hours to a discussion of the term on the basis of guidelines prepared by a committee. The material offered in this article is to a very large extent the author's attempt to recapture the salient points of the faculty's discussion. The article will discuss, first, the constancy of Biblical terminology …


Natural Law And The New Testament, Robert Hoeferkamp Sep 1952

Natural Law And The New Testament, Robert Hoeferkamp

Concordia Theological Monthly

This paper will attempt to investigate elements of Natural Law which are generally alleged to appear in the New Testament. Thus a historical discussion of Natural Law and the indication of the importance of the topic for current theological discussion are in order.

The Wrath Of God And The Grace Of God In Lutheran Theology, Wm. F. Arndt Aug 1952

The Wrath Of God And The Grace Of God In Lutheran Theology, Wm. F. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every Lutheran theologian, at hearing these terms, will admit, I think, that in discussing them we deal with the very heart of theology, and not only of theology, but of religion itself. Wherever religion has not developed into a mere caricature, but is live, spontaneous, heartfelt, real, it occupies itself, among other things, with these concepts. The statements that an individual or whole groups make about them may be entirely erroneous and objectionable or highly unsatisfactory, but, at any rate, occupying one's self with them is unavoidable - the human heart simply has to come to grips with these matters. …

The Growth Of Our Faith, W. F. Beck Jul 1952

The Growth Of Our Faith, W. F. Beck

Concordia Theological Monthly

Contrast a righteous but weak Lot with Abraham, the father of all believers. Lot is materialistic, timid, helpless; Abraham is unselfish, bold, royal. Lot has to run for his life; Abraham, alone, pleads with God for Sodom. Lot escapes from the burning city with the loss of everything, while Abraham lives peacefully with the Lord who made heaven and earth. Lot wants to hide in a cave, while Abraham rises like a lonely mountain peak, touching the clouds.


And Yet Again: "Wes Das Herz Voll Ist, Des Gehet Der Mund Ueber", John Kunstmann Jul 1952

And Yet Again: "Wes Das Herz Voll Ist, Des Gehet Der Mund Ueber", John Kunstmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Having commented on the non-literalness of Luther's translation of this passage, he extols the rendering as truly idiomatic and quotes, in support of the rightness of such a translation, one that is a reproduction and re-creation in German of the foreign and often alien original, the celebrated lines from the Sendbrief vom Dolmetschen (1530) in which Luther defends his "free" translation of the passage in question.

A Survey Of And Approach To The Problems Of Old Testament Eschatology, Horace Hummel Jun 1952

A Survey Of And Approach To The Problems Of Old Testament Eschatology, Horace Hummel

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Our purpose in this thesis, then, is simply to study the incomplete as incomplete (as that is recorded in the Old Testament) before its completion or fulfillment in the New Testament revelation. We believe that such a study is particularly relevant here 'because of the frequency with which this historical approach has been neglected.


The Basis Of Our Faith, W. F. Beck Jun 1952

The Basis Of Our Faith, W. F. Beck

Concordia Theological Monthly

A careful person insists on evidence. He is critical. He will be interested in the proofs for the existence of God and other apologetic evidence for the Christian faith. He is delighted to see that Christianity has met human needs better than any other religion (the pragmatic evidence) and finds such practical values a potent demonstration of its truth. But we do not reach our Savior along the lines of logic, of premises and inferences. We do not find God at the end of a philosophical search - He is standing on our doorstep. He simply appears in our midst …


The Return Of The Rachel- A Critique Of Melville's Moby-Dick, Kenneth Heinitz Jun 1952

The Return Of The Rachel- A Critique Of Melville's Moby-Dick, Kenneth Heinitz

Bachelor of Divinity

This critique is to clarify the relation of the ship Rachel to the rest of the story. The Rachel carries with it certain symbolical implications that have been neglected in in interpretations and criticisms of Moby-Dick. In chapter CXXVIII, “The Pequod Meets the Rachel,” the symbolic meaning suggest Jacob’s wife Rachel crying in the wilderness because her sons are not, Jeremiah 31:15. The continuation of this symbolism in the epilogue would include a more definite recognition of the influence of Christianity on Melville then some critics would admit, namely, that Ishmael’s rescue by the Rachel symbolically is Christian brotherly love …


Concept Of Evil In Berdyaev, Paul E. Pfotenhauer Jun 1952

Concept Of Evil In Berdyaev, Paul E. Pfotenhauer

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper will be an attempt to describe evil as it is presented in the thinking of Berdyaev. It will not be its concern to give an objective criticism or evaluation of his concept of evil, but merely a presentation of the same. In doing this an attempt will at all times be made to remain within the framework of his thought. This approach will place several limitations on this paper. In the first place it will make it impossible to present it as a logical, integrated unity. In his examination of the various problems of life, Berdyaev is constantly …


The Study Of The Relation Between Brunner's General Concept Of Revelation And His Christology, George L. Luecke Jun 1952

The Study Of The Relation Between Brunner's General Concept Of Revelation And His Christology, George L. Luecke

Bachelor of Divinity

In this thesis I shall attempt to show points of correlation between Brunner’s general doctrine of Revelation and his Christology, with the critical implications of the first upon the second.


The Social Ethics Of Reinhold Niebuhr, Richard E. Koenig Jun 1952

The Social Ethics Of Reinhold Niebuhr, Richard E. Koenig

Bachelor of Divinity

Our concern in this thesis will be merely to present the line of thought which Niebuhr employs in relating the Christian agape to society. Since Niebuhr’s social ethic has never been set down in any systematic form, it will be necessary to collect from his various writings those ideas which he uses in advocating his views. To be sure he has written extensively on ethics, but never has he developed the subject from the traditional points of view. As in philosophy ethics cannot be separated from theology. It is important for this study then to draw in much of the …


The Koranic Doctrine Of Sin, Roland E. Miller Jun 1952

The Koranic Doctrine Of Sin, Roland E. Miller

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem that was the occasion for the writing of this thesis is indicated by the title - namely, what is the teaching of sin as it is set forth in the Koran, the Holy Book of Mohammedanism. The problem may be a strictly academic one; but for the writer the problem is one of more than casual importance, since he is a representative of the Christian Church. And the Christian Church in its effort to present the Gospel to Islam, must be vitally concerned with the concept of sin as it is to be found in that theological system.


Sin And Forgiveness In Dostoyevsky, Milton L. Rudnick Jun 1952

Sin And Forgiveness In Dostoyevsky, Milton L. Rudnick

Bachelor of Divinity

Our purpose in this paper is to analyze the writings of this penetrating author in order to determine his concept of sin and forgiveness. The sources for this research will be the Constance Garnett translations, the accuracy of which will not be questioned. The thought of Dostoyevsky which we will study is his thought as he expressed it in his major novels, although, by way of introduction, certain aspects of his life and character will be noted. Reference is frequently made to the opinions of several of Dostoyevsky’s principa1 interpreters. This is usually done by way of illustration, or in …
