Tertulliani "Apologeticum", M. S. Sommer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Tertullian's Apologeticum is justly renowned. It is renowned because of its author, Tertullian, who because of the diction, style, extent, and time of his writings is recognized generally as the father of Church Latin. There is no doubt that later writers, among them men of such importance as St. Augustine, Ambrose, and Cyprian, were influenced by him. Of Cyprian it is said that be called Tertullian simply the teacher. And yet, important as all the writings of Tertullian are, many of them have now lost their claim to the attention of all except the specialist and the historian. But not …

The Validity Of The Sacraments In Reformed Church-Bodies, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The immediate occasion for the writing of this article is found in an address on "Some Thoughts on the Value of Baptism and the Supper," printed in the Review and Expositor for April, 1933, although a request had also been received for the distinction observed by Lutherans with regard to the Sacraments as observed by the Reformed churches. The address was delivered by J. H. Rushbrooke at the General Assembly of the Australia Baptist Union, and it has a very pronounced polemical point directed against the Lutheran doctrine of the Sacraments.

Objective Justification, Theo. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The lending article in the May issue of The Pastor's Monthly, entitled The Mediator of the New Testament, which was originally delivered by Dr. R. Lenski in the form of an address on Seminary Day at Columbus, contains, besides much valuable material, these statements: "2 Cor. 5, 18-20 is badly bungled by many, notably the Missourians. Preconceived notions violate the highly significant tenses.

The Oxford Movement A Hundred Years Ago, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Anglican Church and its daughter, the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, are with much enthusiasm observing this year the centennial of what is known as the Oxford Movement, or Tractarianism.

Buchmanism, Theo. Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

Why should a movement that in many respects does not differ from the revivalism of the eighties and earlier decades cause as much commotion as the activities of the Oxford Group, or Buchmanism? What is its message? What are its practices? What, if any, are its merits?

This article contemplates no detailed historical analysis of the movement) but would treat it as of 1933, reserving a more complete discussion for a later issue, if it shall be deemed necessary.

Separation Of Church And State, Theo. Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

American low regarding churches as presented in Professor Zollmnnn's revised edition of American Civil Church Law (now republished under the title American Church. Law*) is a wonderful accomplishment of jurisprudence. While America has borrowed much of her law from England, it seems that Europe must build upon our pattern of church relations the laws which will govern religious societies when the antiquated system of established, or state, churches has been abolished.

The So-Called "Christian Interpolations" In Josephus, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

A number of factors have combined to make a short article on the probability of Christian interpolations in Josephus, especially in his Antiquities of the Jews, desirable. For one thing, the number of recent books on Josephus and his works is surprisingly large, a fact which shows that scholars are taking a new interest in this field of history and criticism.

The Modernistic Christ, Theo Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The reader of modern theological literature sometimes happens upon a title which possesses significance, not on account of any intrinsic worth as a product of scholarship, but as a typical instance of modern thought regarding the nature of Christianity. From this point of view, Tittle's Jesus after Nineteen Centuries is worthy of more than passing comment. What a subject- the meaning of Jesus and the manifestation of His power in the world to-day! Proceeding from the glorious truth "Jesus the same yesterday and to-day and forever," what cannot be said of the power of the Gospel as manifested in the …

Our Formula For Infant Baptism, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the case of the rite of Holy Baptism the study of the question is complicated by the fact that the rite of confirmation and that of Baptism ordinarily came together, since this was the ordinary form of admission to membership in the Christion Church. We have good reasons, of course, for assuming that the baptism of infants was not the exception, even in the early Church, for children who were born of Christian parents.

Studies In Eusebius, E. G. Sihler

Concordia Theological Monthly

Melito, bishop of Sardis, in a letter presented to Aurelius, called Christianity "the philosophy which began under Augustus." (Eusebius, IV, 26.) The narrative about the persecution in Gaul under Marcus Aurelius, in V, is among the most important in the Church History of the bishop of Caesarea, untainted by the flattery of his later references to Constantine. This persecution occurred in 177 A. D., especially in Lugdunum and Vienne on the Rhone. The report given by the churches there, sent to the churches in the provinces of Asia and Phrygia, is the longest citation in the whole history of Eusebius, …

Studies In Eusebius, E. G. Sihler

Concordia Theological Monthly

The slurs of Gibbon have been answered by many Christians, especially by Milman, Dean of St. Paul's. The chief aim of Gibbon was to belittle the motives and heroism of the martyrs, to call in question the accounts of witnesses like Lactantius and Eusebius, and to excuse or mitigate the action of those responsible for the persecutions. In the present paper my aim is to examine with care the procedure and methods of Eusebius.
