The Pastor And Books, Carl A. Eberhard Dec 1962

The Pastor And Books, Carl A. Eberhard

Concordia Theological Monthly

It was Dr. Herbert H. Farmer of Cambridge, England, lecturing at the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville some years ago, who told of a minister coming into his study one day and seeing a set of Goethe's works. He tapped them on the back and asked: "Any sermons in Goth?"

Worship Music In A Synthetic Culture, H. Grady Davis Dec 1962

Worship Music In A Synthetic Culture, H. Grady Davis

Concordia Theological Monthly

You asked me to speak to you on some subject of my own choosing within the area of worship and culture. I have chosen the announced topic because I am deeply concerned about it not so much as a musician but primarily as a man of the church. I think there are aspects of this subject which are of vital concern to the whole church, all of us together, and I know no place in the United States of America where I think the kind of questions I want to raise today will get a fairer and more intelligent bearing …


The Theological Library And The Tradition Of Christian Humanism, Jaroslav Pelikan Dec 1962

The Theological Library And The Tradition Of Christian Humanism, Jaroslav Pelikan

Concordia Theological Monthly

Theology is a creation of the human spirit. It is, I am persuaded, vastly more than this. Indeed, if it is right theology, it is a creation of the Divine Spirit Himself. I am speaking as a university professor and scholar in the field of the humanities, to which theology as a creation of the human spirit belongs, and as one who believes that today the creativity of the human spirit needs all the help it can get.

Fathers, Brethren, And Distant Relatives: The Family Of Theological Discourse, Jaroslav Pelikan Dec 1962

Fathers, Brethren, And Distant Relatives: The Family Of Theological Discourse, Jaroslav Pelikan

Concordia Theological Monthly

For the theologian, one Book is enough, and a thousand books are not too many. This paradox interprets the meaning and prescribes the role of the theological library. For the task of the theologian, of every theologian, is the exposition of the Sacred Scriptures. Yet to perform his task of expounding that one Book the theologian needs a great many books.

The Church As The People Of God United In The Word Of God, James W. Mayer Nov 1962

The Church As The People Of God United In The Word Of God, James W. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The word "church" has come to mean so many things that it is difficult to think of church with any ontological precision. Our present study is an examination of the nature of the reality that is ekklesia, and the bearing that the unique quality of its being has on certain problems of fellowship. Although we at times use terms borrowed from the philosophers, we have nonetheless set ourselves the task of thinking in strictly Biblical categories, wherein reality cannot be contemplated apart from the personal Lord, by whom and in whom the reality exists; where being cannot be abstracted from …

The Inclusive Nature Of Holy Baptism In Luther's Writings, Harry G. Coiner Nov 1962

The Inclusive Nature Of Holy Baptism In Luther's Writings, Harry G. Coiner

Concordia Theological Monthly

Though our action or behavior does not make the sacrament valid, nevertheless legitimate concerns are to be expressed from time to time regarding our understanding and employment of Baptism. Luther reminds us that Baptism is no human trifle devised or invented by men, but it is instituted by God Himself; for He strictly commanded that we must be baptized, or we cannot be saved; let no one regard it as a trivial matter, like putting on a new red coat. He expressed his estimation of Baptism in strong terms.

Theology As Habitus Practicus Theosdotos: A Lutheran Emphasis, Henry J. Eggold Oct 1962

Theology As Habitus Practicus Theosdotos: A Lutheran Emphasis, Henry J. Eggold

Concordia Theological Monthly

The theologians of the 17th century distinguished between the abstract and the concrete use of the term "theology." Only in an abstract, accidental, and relative sense did they call theology "doctrine ... or even a book or a system exhibiting theology."


Heirs Of The Reformation In The Pulpit, Graeme M. Rosenau Oct 1962

Heirs Of The Reformation In The Pulpit, Graeme M. Rosenau

Concordia Theological Monthly

Being an heir of the Reformation involves far more than giving oratorical impasto in the pulpit to the slogan ''We have Luther as our Father" and engaging in unbridled ranting against Rome or Geneva. Without scorning necessary and proper polemics, the Lutheran preacher will at the same time be gratefully aware that in the very act of occupying his pulpit he is enjoying one of the richest blessings of his heritage.

The Holy Spirit In The Fourth Gospel From The Viewpoint Of Christ's Glorification, Robert Hoeferkamp Sep 1962

The Holy Spirit In The Fourth Gospel From The Viewpoint Of Christ's Glorification, Robert Hoeferkamp

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every student of the Bible knows the differences between the Synoptic Gospels on one hand and the Gospel of John on the other. It is the same Christ they portray. But the studied unity of conception, the composition, and the purpose of the Fourth Gospel catch the reader's attention as he turns to it from the Synoptic Gospels. It is the purpose of this paper to point our that one of the keys to the understanding of the Fourth Gospel is its major emphasis on the Holy Spirit. If we understand the nature, purpose, and function of the Holy Spirit …

The Men Of Cleveland, John H. Meyer Sep 1962

The Men Of Cleveland, John H. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

From the early history of our church in Cleveland three names emerge very prominently, namely, Heinrich Christian Schwan, his assistant Johann Christoph Wilhelm Lindemann, and Friedrich Conrad Dietrich Wyneken. The fact that within two decades these three leaders lived and labored in Cleveland called attention to the city and made of it an outpost alive in the consciousness and memory of our Synod. A short paragraph will be devoted to their immediate successors in Zion and Trinity congregations, pastors Carl Manthey Zorn and John H. Niemann, who were leaders in their own right; but in the main this paper is …

The Word Of God In The Theology Of Lutheran Orthodoxy, Robert D. Preus Aug 1962

The Word Of God In The Theology Of Lutheran Orthodoxy, Robert D. Preus

Concordia Theological Monthly

The intention of this paper is not to offer a complete delineation of the doctrine of the Word of God in the theology of Lutheran orthodoxy, a project entirely too vast to be undertaken within our limited space. Our interest is to learn what the orthodox Lutheran teachers say to us on the specific issues now under debate. I have therefore restricted this study to a simple twofold purpose: (l) to present and analyze what Lutheran orthodoxy has said on the chief problems concerning the doctrine of the Word and (2) to offer significant observations regarding the real concerns and …


The Will Of God In The Life Of A Christian, Eugene F. Klug Aug 1962

The Will Of God In The Life Of A Christian, Eugene F. Klug

Concordia Theological Monthly

In what has been called "the greatest piece of theological writing" to come from his pen, The Bondage of the Will, Luther scores his contemporary Erasmus very sorely because of his unwillingness to assert plainly and forthrightly each and every truth which the Scriptures contain. Erasmus took a stance frequently duplicated today when theologians contend that Scripture does not contain propositional truth. Although we grant, of course, that it does not embrace formulations like a dogmatics textbook, the fact is that Scripture, as Luther reminded Erasmus, contains many doctrinal assertions which must be expressed and defended. "Take away assertions," Luther …
