The Role Of The Lutheran Pastor In Dealing With The Problem Of Alcoholism, Harold Gene Hermetz Jun 1958

The Role Of The Lutheran Pastor In Dealing With The Problem Of Alcoholism, Harold Gene Hermetz

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to survey the problem of alcoholism in the light of present-day developments in an effort to determine the role the Lutheran pastor may play in effectively dealing with the alcoholics with whom his ministry brings him into contact. It is becoming increasingly evident that one of the greatest needs of the minister is a definition of his role in this problem--a clear picture of where he is needed and in what areas he can serve most effectively. There is little doubt that the parish pastor will have opportunities to deal with alcoholics since such …

Principles Of Counseling, Henry L. Lieske Oct 1953

Principles Of Counseling, Henry L. Lieske

Concordia Theological Monthly

Pastoral counseling is currently receiving much greater emphasis in the seminary curriculum than was the case a decade or two ago. This does not mean that effective pastoral counseling has been carried on only recently. Throughout the ages the "cure," or care, of souls has been a matter of vital concern to the Church and its pastors.


The Pastoral Care Of Neurotis, C. Adam Aug 1953

The Pastoral Care Of Neurotis, C. Adam

Concordia Theological Monthly

Neurosis is one of the most common forms of behavior abnormality. The easy explanation which placed the blame on heredity is losing ground. Recent studies show that environmental strains and pressures as well as unfavorable childhood experiences are receiving greater emphasis as causative factors. Most people are unaware of the nature of their conflict. They only know the symptoms: frustration, unhappiness, obsessions, strange compulsions, fears that they cannot account for, ailments that seem to have no physical basis. In most cases these emotional difficulties do not stop people from doing their work nor from carrying on their social activities. Yet …

A Physician Of Souls, Charles A. Behnke Jan 1952

A Physician Of Souls, Charles A. Behnke

Concordia Theological Monthly

Twenty-Five years ago Anton T. Boisen, who as a patient in a mental hospital had wandered in strange places of the spirit, began an experiment with four theological students in the State Hospital at Worcester which gave birth to the Council for the Clinical Training of Theological Students. Today thirty training centers in mental and general hospitals, prisons, corrective institutions and guidance clinics, assist twenty-five seminaries in preparing ministerial students for more adequate services as pastors of churches and chaplains in hospitals and reformatories. Concordia Seminary of St. Louis has initiated a course of its own which is deeply rooted …

Psychology In The Service Of A Lutheran Pastor, Alfred A. Bodtke May 1949

Psychology In The Service Of A Lutheran Pastor, Alfred A. Bodtke

Bachelor of Divinity

Every pastor ought to have some knowledge or psychology. It is true, a pastor is first and foremost a theologian. As a theologian he must learn rightly to interpret the Divine Word and bring its precious truth to the people under his care. In doing this, the pastor through God's grace and help is benefiting his people for time and for eternity. If in addition to being a good theologian, a pastor knows some or the most important principles of psychology, he will the better be able to apply this Word of God, especially so in the case of such …


Techniques From The Secular Fields Of Counseling And Psychotherapy Pertinen To Pastoral Care, Harold Irwin Haas May 1949

Techniques From The Secular Fields Of Counseling And Psychotherapy Pertinen To Pastoral Care, Harold Irwin Haas

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the purpose of the author to point out the theories and techniques from the secular fields of counseling and psychotherapy which seem to be pertinent to pastoral care. The author feels that psychological counseling has already reached a point where the ministry can no longer afford to ignore it. This paper, then, is an attempt to sustematize some of the better thinking which has been done in the field. It is the author’s hope that he may make some small contribution to the field of practical theology by passing on the results of his own investigation in this …

Bachelor of Divinity

In this paper we are limiting the area to those whose inner tensions and conflicts resulting from original and actual sins which are disturbing their relationship to God, either consciously or unconsciously, whether they seek out or are sought by the pastor.


The Word Principle In Martin Luther, Carl Walther Berner Jan 1948

The Word Principle In Martin Luther, Carl Walther Berner

Concordia Theological Monthly

Lucid as sunlight are the verses of the Holy Bible which declare that all spiritual life is from the Holy Spirit in the Word. We are born anew by the Word; we are kept in the faith by the Word; we are led to a fruit-bearing life by the Word; we are armor-plated against enemy forces by the Word. Simon Peter lifts his voice majestically to say that we are "born again not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever." Earlier in the same chapter he had reminded those who were …

The Practical Application Of Matthew 18:15-18, Walter H. Bouman Mar 1947

The Practical Application Of Matthew 18:15-18, Walter H. Bouman

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lord Jesus Christ has wonderfully endowed His Church upon earth. To His Church, to the Christians, He has given the power to open and to close heaven, to bind and to loose sinners. And this is no empty gesture on the part of the Lord of the Church, for the Lord Jesus very specifically says: “Verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matt.18:18. And just as our congregations in their constitutions provide that all things are to be …
