In Memoriam Joh. Albrecht Bengel, Jaroslav Pelikan
In Memoriam Joh. Albrecht Bengel, Jaroslav Pelikan
Concordia Theological Monthly
November 2, 1952, is the two-hundredth anniversary of the death of Johann Albrecht Bengel, a leading figure in the history of Lutheran theology. He has exerted an influence over subsequent Biblical scholarship comparable to that of Luther and Flacius in the sixteenth century, the Buxtorfs in the seventeenth, von Hofmann in the nineteenth, and Schlatter in the twentieth. Until a generation or two ago his Gnomon Novi Testamenti was a commonplace in the libraries of the evangelical clergy; and some of the works which have come to replace it, like Dean Alford's commentary and the Expositors Greek Testament, are expansions …
Sin As The Cause Of God's Wrath, Walter Nagel

The Lutheran Doctrine Of The "Autopistia" Of Holy Scripture, Helmut Echternach
The Lutheran Doctrine Of The "Autopistia" Of Holy Scripture, Helmut Echternach

Stated briefly its immediate scope in its formal aspect is that Holy Scripture requires no other argument to prove itself the inerrant divine truth than the evidence which it bears within itself and with which it confronts the Church and the individual as the living Word of the living God, that is to say, as the Word which has life in itself and awakens life.
