The Christian Hope And Our Fellow Man, Martin H. Franzmann Nov 1955

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 …

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.

The Masonic Apostasy From Christ, Paul M. Bretscher

Concordia Theological Monthly

Christian by Degrees (1954) is the second of two books written by Walton Hannah, clergyman in the Church of England. In this book, as well as in an earlier work, Darkness Visible, the author demonstrates the irreconcilable difference between Christianity and Freemasonry. This journal published a review of Darkness Visible (XXIV [1953], 316 f.) and of Christian by Degrees (XXV [1954], 709 f.), 1n addition, we kept our readers informed regarding the controversy in the Church of England caused by Rev. Hannah's analysis of the religious character of Freemasonry. See "Freemasonry in England under Fire" (XXII [1951], 353 f.) and …
