The Christian Hope And Our Fellow Man, Martin H. Franzmann
The Christian Hope And Our Fellow Man, Martin H. Franzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
John the Baptist at the dawning of the new age, the coming of the Kingdom, called men away from ties of home, nation, Temple, and cultus into the desert, to meet there the God who was with Israel before Israel had a home, a national life, a Temple, and a cultus. The repentance which he preached was a great act of detachment. Likewise Jesus detached His disciples from the traditional standards of clean and unclean, pointed to Himself as greater than the Temple, and promised to build His ’εχχληοι̇α, His people of God, as inheritor of Israel's promise but detached …
Let Jeremiah Speak Today!, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer
Let Jeremiah Speak Today!, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer
Concordia Theological Monthly
It is regrettable that a prophet of the stature of Jeremiah who has so much to say to our generation is virtually unknown among our people and not too familiar among our pastors. Here was a man who, as his name indicates, was "hurled into the life of his nation” (Baughman), in much the same way as Christians today are brought face to face with the problems of their country and community. This was a man who was ''born to be at odds with and in opposition to the whole world" (Welch), just as the modem disciple of Christ finds …
The Doctrine Of Justification In The Lutheran Confessions, Herbert J. Bouman
The Doctrine Of Justification In The Lutheran Confessions, Herbert J. Bouman
Concordia Theological Monthly
In the 1538 edition of his commentary on Galatians, Luther speaks of "this one and firm rock, which we call the doctrine of justification, that is, that we are delivered from sin, death, and devil, not through ourselves (nor certainly through our works which are of lesser value than we ourselves), but through outside help, through the Only-begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ." "If the article concerning justification falls, everything falls." "This is the chief article of the whole Christian doctrine, which comprehends the undemanding of all godliness. It is, therefore, of prime importance that it be well understood and …

The Christian Hope And Our Fellow Man, Martin H. Franzmann
The Christian Hope And Our Fellow Man, Martin H. Franzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
The New Testament is a book of hope, an eschatological book from beginning to end, from John the Baptist to John the Divine, the Seer of Patmos. And this hope of the New Testament is throughout a "practical" hope; it is always related to life and action; the eschatological future indicative is never without its here-and-now present imperative. When John the Baptist announces that the long-foretold and long-awaited reign of God has drawn nigh, that God has laid bare His arm to these last days to interpose finally and definitively in history in the Person of the Mightier One, who …
What The Symbols Have To Say About The Church, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
What The Symbols Have To Say About The Church, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
It is not difficult to turn to the index of a modern edition of the Book of Concord and to discover therein the passages in the Lutheran Symbols which talk more or less explicitly about the church. That it is quite possible to read into these passages a very wide range of presuppositions is clear from the way in which different theologians have been claiming our church's Symbols in support of quite divergent, if not actually contradictory, opinions. But the articles of our creedal statements that the editors have headed, "Of the Church," or that bear similar titles are not …

The Written, Spoken, And Signed Word, Herman A. Preus
The Written, Spoken, And Signed Word, Herman A. Preus
Concordia Theological Monthly
0ur title points us to the Word of God. It tells us that God speaks to us in three different ways. But it is the same Word that He speaks in all three. There is only one Word of God. The Word, whether written, spoken, or signed, is the same Word. It is the same message from God. It is the same Gospel, proclaiming God's salvation to lost sinners. It is what Luther calls "die ewige Wahrheit Gottes," God's own revelation of eternal truth.
Roman Catholic Child Welfare In The United States, Lewis W. Spitz
Roman Catholic Child Welfare In The United States, Lewis W. Spitz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Roman Catholic child welfare is concerned with the dependent child, including the delinquent child, which for one reason or another has gone wrong. Roman Catholic social workers recognize the change that has taken place from the days when education was the distinctive function of the home-first, on the mother's knee, and then beside the father in the fields to the present time, when this function has largely been institutionalized and schools for the most part exercise this responsibility.
The Doctrine Of Creation In Lutheran Theology, Jaroslav Pelikan
The Doctrine Of Creation In Lutheran Theology, Jaroslav Pelikan
Concordia Theological Monthly
The fundamental category in the Biblical doctrine of man is the category "creature." Whatever else Christian theology may have to say about the nature and destiny of man, it says in the limits described by that category. Its picture of man as sinner, therefore, must portray him as a fallen creature. It must not make him a creature of Satan because of his sin. Nor dare theology forget that it is precisely man's creaturely derivation from God that makes his sin so calamitous. Because the category "creature" is so fundamental, orthodox Christian theology has always felt compelled to draw a …
Does The R.S.V. Mutilate The New Testament Text?, Arthur F. Katt
Does The R.S.V. Mutilate The New Testament Text?, Arthur F. Katt
Concordia Theological Monthly
An outstanding feature of the Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible is the acknowledged and undeniable fact that its New Testament is based on a much better text than was available to the King James translators in 1607-1611 or to Luther in 1522-1545. The R. S. V. New Testament is essentially a translation of the Greek New Testament used in our colleges and seminaries for the past half century, whether it be the world-renowned edition of Nestle, or that of Westcott and Hort, or, still earlier, that of Tischendorf. Thus the R. S. V. provides pastors with an English …

Lutherans landed in America before the arrival of the Mayflower. Some Danish Lutherans, looking for the Northwest Passage, buried forty of their dead on Hudson Bay in 1619. In December of the same year Pastor Rasmus Jensen held a Lutheran Christmas service on the shores of what is now the United States of America.

The Barthian Inversion: Gospel And Law, Thomas Coates
The Barthian Inversion: Gospel And Law, Thomas Coates
Concordia Theological Monthly
Is the influence of Karl Barth on the wane? One of Europe's foremost Lutheran theologians, Oscar Cullmann of the University of Basle, is of the opinion that it is. He attributes this development to Barth's postwar neutralism, which has struck an unresponsive chord in the hearts of those who discern in the Communist ideology the negation of every Christian principle.
The Bad Boll Enterprise 1948-1954, Hans Spalteholz
The Bad Boll Enterprise 1948-1954, Hans Spalteholz
Master of Divinity Thesis
The thesis, however, does not deal with all the conferences which have been lumped together at times under the title of “Bad Boll.” This thesis limits itself to the free theological conferences which were held in Germany by the Missouri Synod primarily with Lutherans not in fellowship with the Missouri Synod, i.e., the Landeskirchen, the regional churches.
Anglican Christology Of The Upper Stream From '"Lux Mundi" To "Essays Catholic And Critical.", Norman Nagel
Anglican Christology Of The Upper Stream From '"Lux Mundi" To "Essays Catholic And Critical.", Norman Nagel
Concordia Theological Monthly
When a certain theologian was asked what in English theology would most reward study, with twinkling and Teutonic eye he replied, "They don't have any." Now it is true that the issues which have most exercised churchmen in this country do not seem to have been primarily theological One ncvcr ceases to wonder at the thousands of parish priests in the sixteenth century who found no difficulty in making do whatever new or revised prayer book happened to come to them in the post. When divisions came, they were summed up in terms more of polity than of theology.

Arabic Cognates In The Hebrew Text Of Isaiah Chapters 40-66, Ernest Hahn
Arabic Cognates In The Hebrew Text Of Isaiah Chapters 40-66, Ernest Hahn
Bachelor of Divinity
The last twenty-seven chapters of Isaiah have been selected since they form a unified section designated by many scholars the so-called Second Isaiah. This essay by no means intends to deal with all the Arabic cognates of Hebrew vocables in this division. It only seeks those cognates which may shed additional light on the Hebrew, especially the Hebrew words which are of rare occurrence in the Old Testament.
An Anaylsis And Comparison Of Eschatological Elements In The Hymns And Sermons Of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, James R. Luecke
An Anaylsis And Comparison Of Eschatological Elements In The Hymns And Sermons Of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, James R. Luecke
Bachelor of Divinity
It is in the wake of the proceedings of the Evanston Assembly of the World Council of Churches, and the re-examination of the Christian Hope in nearly every denomination of Christendom that this paper has been prepared. If it can truly be said that the actual living doctrine of a church is not properly that contained in its books only, but rather also that proclaimed from its pulpits and in the worship of its people, then this paper has value. It is the writer's belief that this study will suggest more nearly than any other study to date the actual …
Soren Kierkegaard's Critique Of Nineteenth Century Christiandom, Andrew M. Weyermann
Soren Kierkegaard's Critique Of Nineteenth Century Christiandom, Andrew M. Weyermann
Bachelor of Divinity
Every criticism and evaluation of Kierkegaard’s message is made on his grounds and on the basis of his works. The basic criteria for criticism is the criteria Kierkegaard employed to judge his age; namely, Christianity of the New Testament. As he saw it, his task was to define what it took.ma to be a Christian on the basis of the New Testament. The question is: to what extent does Kierkegaard in his attack actually base his criticism and corrective on the interpretation of Christianity in the New Testament? This question is posed with the recognition that Kierkegaard himself did not …
The Brief Study Of The Double Edition Of St Cyprian's De Unitate Ecclesiae, Herbert John Bouman
The Brief Study Of The Double Edition Of St Cyprian's De Unitate Ecclesiae, Herbert John Bouman
Bachelor of Divinity
This study is occasioned by the fact that the fourth chapter of the treatise “De Unitate Ecclesias,” written by the Bishop of Carthage, St. Cyprian, about 251 A.D., has come down in two quite different forms. One version apparently bases the unity of the Church in explicit terms on the primacy of Peter over and above the authority of other bishops, while the other version speaks in more cautious and general terms of Peter as a symbol of unity and power in which all bishops share equally.
John Wesley's Concept Of Santification, Robert Day Mcamis
John Wesley's Concept Of Santification, Robert Day Mcamis
Bachelor of Divinity
It is the purpose of this thesis to set forth clearly and objectively the concept of sanctification as it was believed and taught by John Wesley. Concept is used to indicate thought or opinion or view. Sanctification is used in the narrow sense to mean the conduct of the Christian life or holiness of living which follows justification. This concept of sanctification will be limited to its doctrinal content and characteristics with a survey of influences which affected it in one way or another. No attempt is made to trace the social and political implications of this teaching, except in …
The Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Church Abd Fellowship With Other Lutherans In America, Andrew Brondos
The Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Church Abd Fellowship With Other Lutherans In America, Andrew Brondos
Bachelor of Divinity
The SELC has related itself positively and negatively to other Lutheran churches in the United States. With some church bodies it has declared agreement and has affiliated with this group--the Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference of North America. With others, though there have been repeated attempts and invitations for union, the SELC has declined to affiliate. These positions, affiliations or non-affiliations are the points considered in this thesis. That is the scope of this thesis in content. In time the scope of this thesis includes the period from the organizing of the SELC in September of 1902 to the end of …
Thomas Aquinas' Concept Of The Word In His Contemporary On First Corinthians, Robert Scharlemann
Thomas Aquinas' Concept Of The Word In His Contemporary On First Corinthians, Robert Scharlemann
Bachelor of Divinity
Yet in the Thomistic synthesis, which has so strong an appeal as a philosophical structure, the Holy Scriptures are, according to Thomas, to be accorded the highest place. The question, therefore, a rises as to the exact manner in which the Scriptures take their place. Or, to put the question in a broader framework, in what manner does the Word of God, that is, the intelligible revelation of God, fit into the Thomistic structure? Is Thomas’ philosophical and theological structure really complete without that Word? That in a certain sense it is not complete without it is clear. Still in …
