The Archeology Of The Sacraments, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The boundary between history and archeology is somewhat indefinite, but for the purpose of this short discussion the following distinction may be of value. History is a more or less orderly narration of events, either in the form of a chronicle which notes down occurrences from day to day or week to week, like a diary, or in logical arrangement, presenting events in units as the historian understands the incidents which he presents. Archeology, on the other hand, and, in this instance, Christian archeology, is the science of Christian antiquity, an orderly presentation not so much of historical events as …

In my two brief addresses I shall endeavor to present to you, in their essential features, the paramount Biblical truths which Dr. Walther has propounded in his immortal book Die rechte Geatalt einer vom Staat unabhaengigen ev.-luth. Ortsgemeinde. Eine Sammlung von Zeugnissen aus den Bekenntnisschriften der evang.-luth. Kirche und aus den Privatschriften rechtglaeubiger Lehrer der selben; which means, in literal translation: The Correct Form of a Local Ev. Luth. Congregation which Is Independent of the State.

The Saxons Move To Perry County, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the Saxon Lutherans reached the metropolis of the central Mississippi Valley, then a town of some 16,000 inhabitants, their plans had not yet fully matured. Only one point seems to have been reasonably certain, namely, that they did not intend to remain in St. Louis. In the Regulations for the Emigrant, approved in Dresden on May 17, 1838, paragraph 4 reads:

"Place of Settlement. -The place of colonization in the United States of North America is to be chosen in one of the Western States in Missouri or Illinois or perhaps in Indiana."

The Great Awakening, Julius Tusty

Bachelor of Divinity

The Great Awakening was a religious revival which swept through our country during the middle of the eighteenth century. The revivalists who labored during this Awakening placed too much emphasis upon emotion. They stressed sanctification, "feeling", and moral reform. They preached the new birth, new life, regeneration. They emphasized the immediate working of the Holy Ghost. It seems that they tried to save by sensation.

The References To Antichrist In Ii Thessalonians Compares With Those In The Epistles Of St. John, Peter Moog

Bachelor of Divinity

The prophet Daniel, sometime during the sixth century before the birth or our savior, pictured in a vision the archenemy or God, the king who destroys the true worship of God. Some six hundred years later, Saint John the Divine on the Isle of Patmos, clarifies the vision of Daniel through another vision, in which he sees the woman arrayed in scarlet on the seven hills." The abominations of the king; whom Daniel saw are portrayed by Saint John in an extremely vivid and unmistakeable announcement. But just who is this destructive person or force? If one will approach the …

Lutheran Hymns In English Translation Or The Contribution Of Nineteenth Century Translators In England To English Hymnody, Hans Bruss

Bachelor of Divinity

Christian song, as it has been in the past, so it is today a tremendous influence in the life of God’s people here on earth. Next only to the Bible, the Hymnody of Christendom is probable the most influential medium of religious culture that we possess. The Hymnody of the Christian Church can be compared to wells of living water. From these wells Christians drink deeply in public worship. By these wells Christian spiritual life is awakened, educated1, and sustained. From these wells Christians find strength and inspiration for their tasks during the week; they find power to carry on …

The Christian Apologists Of The Second Century Their Message And Mission, Clarence Bopp

Bachelor of Divinity

This book shows us that the Jewish people stil1 regarded Christ as an impostor, and were then still expecting a Messiah who would be a glorious ruler. It also indicates that the traveling opponents of Christianity were still exerting their influence. Therefore the Christian apologists of the second century had to keep the Jews in mind. In dealing with them Justin argues from the Old Testament, to show that the prophecies of the Messiah can be fulfilled only in Jesus Christ; he also attacks their ceremonialism and formalism. Thus apologetics against the Jews in the second century is still of …

The Practical Application Of The Sermon, George Kurz

Bachelor of Divinity

Spurgeon once wrote that "where the application begins, there the sermon begins." Since the application is so important, it will be the primary purpose of this thesis to offer suggestions to the preacher on how he may improve and develop his ability in constructing the practical application of his sermon. The paper shall not be limited to mere suggestions, however; we shall discuss and make a study of the subject from all important angles (such as: the nature of the application, the necessity of the application, the purpose of the application, etc.). Writing on a subject of this type is …

Roger Williams' Individualism In Baptist Theology And Church Polity, Rudolph Ritz

Bachelor of Divinity

In this, thesis the writer proposes the following: to point out how this principle of individualism, manifest in the life and work of Roger Williams; secondly, to prove that this individualism basic in Baptist theology and church polity today.

Lutheran Hymns In English Translations, W Harry Krieger

Bachelor of Divinity

Nothing makes so forcible and lasting an impression as contrast, nor are truths taught more easily through the employment of another method of presentation. Perhaps, then, in prefacing a study of Luther’s hymns, no better means of evaluating the Reformer’s real worth could be used than a contrast of the German Hymnology of the Medieval Period with that of the Reformation.

The Gnosticism Opposed And Condemed In The New Testament, Erwin Lueker

Bachelor of Divinity

It is our purpose in this thesis to trace the movement in the form in which it is opposed and condemned in the New Testament, and, if possible, find external information on these movements. Although many of the passages which condemn false teachers may have been written against gnostics, we shall deal only with those in which gnostic tendencies are revealed.

The Dispersion Of The Jews In The Western World, Paul Martens

Bachelor of Divinity

It is my purpose to show in what manner and to what extent these threatenings of the almighty God were pronounced upon his chosen people, the children of Israel, the Jews. We will consider their dispersion in the Western world. In the early centuries the Jews of Egypt, Palestine, and Asia Minor were called Western Jews in distinction from those who were carried away to Babylon and the plains of Assyria. According to the modern division, the Jews of Egypt, Judea, and Greece are included among the eastern Jews, in distinction to those of Spain, Germany, and England. We here …

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the foreword of the present volume of this journal we stated in which sense one may without hesitation speak of open questions. At the same time we declared that we reject the modern theory of open questions. It appears necessary, however, that we point out how untenable the arguments are which are advanced In support and justification of this theory.

December 1832: That date marked the beginning of a memorable few months in the life of a colossal figure of the nineteenth century, John Henry Cardinal Newman-a figure scarcely possible of eclipse at any period and surely most outstanding at this particular epoch of the Anglican Church's history.

The Institutional Missionary And The Sick, E. A. Duemling

Concordia Theological Monthly

Visitation of the sick is one of the most important duties of an institutional missionary. While on earth, Jesus, the Physician, had compassion on the sick and freed them from their ailments, not only physically but also spiritually. Jesus is no longer visibly with us, no longer performing miracles of healing, and sickness is still causing untold agony and misery in the world. It is very sad indeed to see so much pain and suffering, principally in our large hospitals. As long as we are living in a sinful world, there will also be pain, suffering, and, finally, death. There …
