The Study Of The Problem Of Suffering And Chastening, Lester A. Wetzstein

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The mid-week prayer meeting was the setting that provided the first incentive for this study. The mystery of the subject has been in the background of the writer's thinking from his early teens. As the people united in prayer, they would follow much of the usual pattern week after week. Occasionally some particular suffering of unusual severity prompted the people to unite in praying for deliverance. The writer definitely had no thought of questioning their faith. He is confident that they were sincere in the prayer they were offering. Then in the same prayer someone would pray for the …

A Biblical Study Of The Divorce Problem, Nathan Krampitz

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The minister has a complex task.. He is a preacher, teacher, counsellor, and pastor. Part of his work is to perform marriages. In doing this he is often asked to perform marriages where one or both parties are divorcees. He needs to decide then whether or not he will marry them.. This is not an easy decision to make.

Most churches have an official ruling for the denomination. But many ministers do not adhere to this official ruling. There are also differences in the official positions which the churches take. Since there is so much confusion in the matter of …

Contrition, Theodore Engelder, Herbert J. Bouman

Concordia Theological Monthly

Confusion regarding the concept contrition can only confuse consciences. "Before the writings of Luther appeared, the doctrine of repentance was very much confused ... the people were able neither to comprehend the sum of the matter nor to see what things especially were required in repentance, where peace of conscience was to be sought for" (Ap XII 5). If the wrong place in the order of salvation is assigned to contrition, if it is not allowed to function in its proper sphere, if it is drawn into the doctrine of justification, or if it is made the chief factor in …

The Pastor As Administrator Of Christian Education, Harold J. Elmer

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

We are living in one of history's most serious periods in a fast shrinking world where time and space are the essence. In time because of the great acceleration in the progress of science, in space because of a fast shrinking world that puts the nations elbows sharply one against another causing widespread disruption, confusion, diversion and aggression. Temporary expedients and the necessity to be first in the race in temporal importance has caused most Americans to forget their spiritual heritage and with new temptations and frustrations the.y either turn against all forms of religion to secularism and a materialistic …

The Relation Of Missionary Education To The Local Church, Katherine A. Melick

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Missions today are throbbing with interest. New fields of missionary endeavor are opening up every day, while a few long established fields are closing, or have already closed. Missionary doors are open today to every church which desires their inclusion. Missions made alive through the avenue of missionary education could be made the bloodstream through which life could flow into the heart of the local church, and make every artery, concomitant to every organization or phase of the church program, gain in strength thereby.

A Historical Study Of The Friends Doctrine Of Scripture, Dorothy E. Barratt

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

There a.re various theological positions taken by modern day Friends. Some Friends are evangelical, others are theologically liberal. In analyzing this situation one of the major reasons proposed to explain the tendency toward liberalism is related to the Friends' basic view of objective authority in general and a view of Scripture in particular. The question arises as to whether the view of Scripture held traditionally by Quakers accounts necessarily for the tendency toward religious liberalism and whether the Friends' view is actually at variance with evangelical thought today or through the course of history. The investigation is concerned with determining …

Lutheran Education And Philosophy, Paul M. Bretscher

Concordia Theological Monthly

This study conceives of Lutheran education as an activity in which our entire church with all its homes and parishes is engaged. It has in mind all levels, all currently employed agencies, and all subject areas of modern education. To be concrete: our homes, corporate worship, schools and Sunday schools, Bible classes, Bible institutes, catechumen classes, high schools, colleges, seminaries, university, institutions for the physically handicapped. and all our other educational efforts are within the purview of this study. Furthermore, this study proceeds on the premise that Lutheran education is an inevitable outgrowth of the basic beliefs of the Lutheran …

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.

The Apostolate: Its Enduring Significance In The Apostolic Word, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our Lutheran Confessions state: "We believe, reach, and confess that the sole rule and standard according to which all dogmas together with all teachers should be estimated and judged are the prophetic and apostolic Scriptures of the Old and of the New Testament alone." In using the word "apostolic," they are confessing to something which is not merely a historical but also a theological entity. For the conception "apostle" and "apostolic" is one which is determined entirely by its relationship to the Lord, who establishes the apostolate and sends the apostles.

The Baptism Of Christ With Special Reference To The Gift Of The Spirit, Herbert J. Bouman

Concordia Theological Monthly

While John the Baptist, in the country beyond Jordan near Bethany (or Bethabara), was performing his office of preparing the way for the Messiah by his preaching and baptizing unto repentance for the remission of sins, and while all the people, from all directions and all walks of life, came to John to hear him and receive his baptism, Jesus also came from Nazareth (Mark) out of Galilee (Matt.). Since His twelfth year nothing had been recorded of Him except that He grew up in Nazareth. Now, after eighteen years of silence and obscurity, when He was about 30 years …

Luther Expounds The Gospels, Lewis W. Spitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

Both the state of Luther scholarship and the condition of the church have changed radically since the middle of that century of light, when J. G. Hamann lamented: "What a shame for our times that the spirit of this man who founded our church lies thus under the ashes. What a power of eloquence, what a spirit for interpretation, what a prophet! How good the old wine will taste to you!" Though Theodosius Harnack a hundred years later hailed the renewed study of Luther's theology as one of the most joyous developments in theological scholarship, his own work remained the …
