Christ Frees And Unites: The Third Lutheran World Federation Assembly, Hanns Lilje
Christ Frees And Unites: The Third Lutheran World Federation Assembly, Hanns Lilje
Concordia Theological Monthly
The third assembly of the Lutheran World Federation, held in Minneapolis, August 15-25, 1957, sends Christian greetings to all Lutheran congregations in the world. Our hearts are filled with gratitude and joy. We are grateful to God for the rich blessings which He granted us throughout these days. It is with joy and affection that we think of the fellowship with so many brethren and sisters from all over the world.
Religion As The Integrating Principle In Education, Eugene F. Klug
Religion As The Integrating Principle In Education, Eugene F. Klug

D’ye think," asked Mr. Hennessey, "the college has much to do with the progress of the world?" - "D'ye think," parried Mr. Dooley, "it's the mill that makes the water run?" The stream of life in this old world goes steadily on, whether we have colleges or not. But the fact is, in spite of Mr. Dooley's skeptical cynicism, that the world would hardly be the same without them. These centers of human learning have played a major role in harnessing and developing the raw material of this world man, his mind, and his physical environment. Today especially these academic …
Imitating The Wisdom Of The Almighty: Ziegenbalg's Program Of Evangelism, Hans W. Gensichen
Imitating The Wisdom Of The Almighty: Ziegenbalg's Program Of Evangelism, Hans W. Gensichen
Concordia Theological Monthly
By a happy coincidence the quarter-millennium jubilee year of the Tranquebar Mission again brought to light a long forgotten but most valuable source on that great pioneer enterprise of Protestant world missions, permitting a unique inside look into the evangelistic principles and techniques employed by Barrholomaeus Ziegenbalg and his co-workers and thus revealing the very heart and soul of their work. It is a small volume of 352 pages, and its full title may be of interest: "Thirty-Four Conferences Between the Danish Missionaries and the Malabarian Bramans (or Heathen Priests) in the East Indies, Concerning the Truth of the Christian …
Visitation Evangelism In American Churches (Concluded), A. Karl Boehmke
Visitation Evangelism In American Churches (Concluded), A. Karl Boehmke
Concordia Theological Monthly
In keeping with the proposition that it is impossible for any one evangelism method to apply perfectly to any and all circumstances, consideration is now given to points of strength and weakness in the basic visitation procedure. What was this evangelism technique capable of contributing to the work of the church and the ongoing program of the kingdom of Christ? What may have been expected of the plan but should not have been required?

Visitation Evangelism In American Churches, A. Karl Boehmke
Concordia Theological Monthly
The story of the development of Visitation Evangelism is here viewed in general chronological sequence, with principal emphasis on the individuals associated with the movement, their experiences and thoughts (as they may be apprehended), and their expressed attempts at contribution to the evangelism field.
Lwf Study Document, Paul M. Bretscher
Lwf Study Document, Paul M. Bretscher
Concordia Theological Monthly
The present Study Document, which will be submitted to the delegates attending the Assembly of the LWF at Minneapolis next August, is in form and content a decided improvement over the document which appeared a year ago. A careful comparison of both compels the conclusion that the Commission on Theology was truly concerned to prepare a statement which would be solidly Scriptural and soundly confessional. For these efforts the Commission deserves the unqualified thanks of all who love the Lutheran Zion. The following observations are therefore intended only to point up some issues in the present document which, in our …
The Paradox In Perspective, Martin H. Scharlemann
The Paradox In Perspective, Martin H. Scharlemann
Concordia Theological Monthly
Paradox" is an ancient word and an honorable one. The Greeks applied it to anything that seemed contrary to public opinion or strange and marvelous. In this latter sense the term occurs in the New Testament. It was heard on the lips of the multitude that saw the healing of the palsied man. "We have seen παοάδοξα today," they said in astonishment and awe (Luke 5:26). In Latin authors "paradox" came to mean an apparent contradiction. This is today its most common meaning in ordinary speech, although we must hasten to add that the Christian continues to feel in it …
Labor, Industry, And The Church, David S. Schuller
Labor, Industry, And The Church, David S. Schuller
Concordia Theological Monthly
The church stood amazed before the rising form of the industrial giant. Its size was frightening enough, but its two heads of unionism and management struck terror into her heart. The church felt she should say something to the monster. But then what could she say? It certainly didn't look like a membership prospect. And so the church pretended she didn't see it. But the church's heart continued to pound. And way down deep she felt guilty. She had a message - even for such two-headed giants. And she should be speaking.
