Sermon Study On Micah 7:14-20, Th. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

The year 1947 is the Centennial year of the organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. The concluding verses of the Book of Micah are a very suitable text for Trinity Sunday in this Centennial year. The Epistle Lesson appointed by the ancient Church for this Sunday speaks of the unsearchable wisdom and the unfathomable judgments of God relating to His plan of salvation, while the Gospel tells us of regeneration and justification by faith as the only way to eternal life. In like manner Micah calls our attention to the marvelous things that God …

Guiding Principals For The Parish Ministry In Our Syncretistic Age, Gordon E. Schultz

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the purpose of this thesis to consider the principals involved in all contacts with the heterodox churches. In order to include the many diverse contacts which the pastor makes in his ordinary parish ministry, it is necessary to divide these principles into two main groups - the one dealing with underlying causes and problems, the other group dealing with specific and personal contacts. In the last analysis it will be seen that all contacts revolve around the one basic principle of Sola Scriptura - all the other principles being parts of it. Yet in order to become conscious …

The Concept Of Reward In The New Testament, Wilbur May

Bachelor of Divinity

As the title implies, the subject of this thesis is the concept of reward as it is presented in the New Testament. However, it will be advisable to limit this subject so that each part may be discussed in a thesis. Because of the lack of space, we shall immediately eliminate two phases of this subject which might possibly be included under the concept of reward.

After having eliminated these two phases of reward, there are still those rewards which the Christian receives for performing good works which are pleasing to God. It is with this reward that we are …

The Race Question In The Light Of The Una Sancta, Harry N. Huxhold

Bachelor of Divinity

Neither Scriptures nor the confessions of the Lutheran Church deal with the specific problems of racial minority groups, for the problem was absent at the time of their writing. But both indicate principles on the basis of which the question may be treated. Approaches to the problem on the basis of the various principles laid down in Scriptures and the Confessions may vary. But since the problem as it confronts the Church is most generally connected with the question of integrating racial minority groups in the local congregation, the following paper is a study of the race question and its …

The Political And Economic Conditions In England In Their Relation To The English Reformation, Earl C. Kettler

Bachelor of Divinity

We are concerned here with the influence that the political and economic conditions in England had on the English Reformation. Although, the actions in the break with the Roman Church covered a period of only a few years, the causes for those actions lie in the previous growth of England, politically and economically, An action, as far reaching, as the repudiation of the papacy, certainly did not come about over night. Its causes lie much deeper than merely a breach of canon law.

The History Of Puritanism From King James I To William And Mary, Weldon Luther Priebe

Bachelor of Divinity

In the whole terminology of' history there are few words more difficult to define than "Puritan”, for it was never used by contemporaries with precisely the same significance, and it has denoted very different qualities at different epochs. It is a word that has borne so many doctrinal, dogmatic, political, and administrative, social meanings in the course of the past four centuries that it is hardly possible to present one definition acceptable to all.

The Early History Of The Aramaeans And Their Contacts With Israel Up To The Divided Kingdom, Marlin A. Mentz

Bachelor of Divinity

Of the Old Testament races and peoples, who had contacts with God's chosen people, the Aramaeans, or as the English Bible terms them, Syrians, are one or the most colorful and fascinating. This is especially true because the history and career of the Aramaean people runs nearly parallel with that of the Israelites. They both appear on the scene at approximately the same time, and the history of both Aram and Israel also terminates about the same time.

The Hussites And Their Work Of Reformation In Slovakia, Daniel Michael Estok

Bachelor of Divinity

In the middle of the fourteenth century central Europe was ripe for a reformation movement. a re-formation of the Church of the day. In consequence of the shameful debasement of the papacy and the deep corruption of the clergy and monks, the influence of the Church upon the moral and religious culture of the people, in spite of the ardent zeal of the homilists and catechists, was upon the whole much less than formerly. Reverence for the Church as it stood was indeed tottering, but was not yet completely overthrown.

The "Euaggelion" According To St Paul, Luther Meinzen

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The supremacy of the Ε’υαδδε’λιον has not lost an iota of its importance to man, although centuries separate us from Paul. Despite attempts through the ages to destroy the Ε’υαδδε’λιον or to change it, it is still the power of God unto salvation that it always was. Controversies that have been waged over it have largely been the result of misunderstandings of the Ε’υαδδε’λιον. Therefore a study of this basic concept of Christianity and of theology of Paul is purposeful. It is the aim of this thesis to present the correct understanding of the term and to develop its implications.

Natural Theology In David Hollaz, Jaroslav Pelikan Jr

Concordia Theological Monthly

Christianity is a religion of supernatural revelation: to this "give all the Prophets witness." It is an assertion of the fact that the true meaning of God lies beyond the ken of the unaided human mind. Indeed, the Christian faith is so bold as to assert that "he that loveth not - and only a Christian is capable of ἀγάπη, true love - knoweth not God, for God is Love" (1 John 4:8).

Henry The Eighth's Divorce And Luther, William Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

On June 21, 1529, the King and the Queen of England stood at the bar of Cardinal Campegi, an Italian judge. The Queen appealed to Rome and walked out on him!

The Kaiser “tumed on the heat" and the Pope called the stenchy mess back to Rome and thus broke his papal promise given again and again and again. In other words, he bade Campegi return without publishing the decretal bull declaring Henry's first marriage null and void.

Nothing new. When Benvenuto Cellini rebuked him for breaking a solemn promise, the Vicar of Christ ironically joked he had power to …
