Christ's Descent Into Hell, Paul Koenig
Christ's Descent Into Hell, Paul Koenig
Concordia Theological Monthly
Christ’s descent into hell is not a moot or undecided doctrine, upon which no clear light can be shed and which remains the subject for speculation indefinitely; nor is it one the correct or incorrect teaching of which is a matter of indifference. It is embodied in the Apostolic Creed, and with the Church of old we confess: "suffered under ... He descended into hell." It thus becomes a part of our holy Christian faith and one to which wo must subscribe as well as to the foregoing or the following. But while the words "descended into hell" are confessed …

Rejection Of Eutychianism And Nestorianism In The "Genus Apotelesmaticum" And A Short Review Of Reformed Christology, Theo. Dierks
Concordia Theological Monthly
The incarnation of the Son of God for the salvation of the world is the central truth of the Gospel, and since the Church of the living God is the "pillar and ground of the truth," it has the duty to maintain this truth, to defend it against the assaults of error, and to transmit it to future generations. This we must keep in mind when considering the two natures in Christ; for at first we, too, might be inclined to agree with Hodge when he says: "Not content with admitting the fact that the two natures are united in …

The Shifting Sands Of Science, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Men are colling upon the Christian Church with increasing insistence that it adjust its teachings to the findings of science. The Western Christian Advocate of December 22, 1027, declared: "New discoveries have necessitated new statements of our faith. Our views of the Bible, our ideas as to God's relationship to the world, have got to be reconstructed. . . . The heterodoxies of one day have become the orthodoxies of the next." w. K. Wright, in A. Student’s Philosophy of Religion, demands that he, the student, draw no conclusions in conflict with the dicta of present-day mental and physical science. …

"Entire Sanctification", F. E. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The old Adam is a thoroughgoing perfectionist. He is able to see that human nature is depraved, though, of course, the depth and extent of human depravity can only be learned from Scripture, and yet in his proud conceit he maintains that he is master of his evil inclinations. The old Adam sees sin and the horrible consequences of sin on all aides; yet in his carnal security he believes that he has "perfectly," i. e., "according to his knowledge and ability," met the demands of the supremo Lawgiver.
The Ghost Of Pietism, Th. Graebner
The Ghost Of Pietism, Th. Graebner
Concordia Theological Monthly
It has been raised in the Norwegian Lutheran Church. An attempt is being fostered, with an energy and persistence worthy of a better cause to revive upon American soil the lay activities connected with the career of Hans Nielsen Hauge. When the Norwegian Lutheran Church was organized in 1917, the smallest of the bodies entering the union was the so-called Hauge Synod. Characteristic of this Norwegian body are revivalism and lay preaching. A minority was reluctant to enter the union because they feared a gradual submergence of their peculiar type if associated with the former Norwegian Synod and Norwegian United …
