No Development Of Doctrine For Us, Th. Engelder Aug 1949

No Development Of Doctrine For Us, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The popular theology of today stands for the development of doctrine. C. S. Macfarland declares: "Christian revelation is not confined to a closed canon, to a stereotyped letter, or a strictly defined confession." (Christian Unity in Practice and Prophecy, p. 27.) The Living Church, of Jan. 14, 1933, declares: "There has always been, and under God there always will be, a continual development of experience and doctrine as the Spirit guides the Church into more and more of the truth about Christ. . . Liberal Catholics believe that it is possible to develop a doctrine of Christ in line with …

An Examination Of Osiander's Imago Dei In Its Relation To Justification, Ralph Frederick Fischer

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem - Does Osiander teach Justification as a process which makes man righteous., or does he teach Justification as a forensic act?


The Nature And Purpose Of Our Savior's Miracles, Carl E. Mehlberg May 1948

The Nature And Purpose Of Our Savior's Miracles, Carl E. Mehlberg

Bachelor of Divinity

If we wish to know someone, we must study both his words and his actions. Since we cannot read his mind, we can only analyze what we can see and hear in order to learn who and what he is. From this it becomes evident, that the Person of Christ, Who and What He is, is involved in the question of miracles and their authenticity. They were, as St. John tells us, recorded to prove that Jesus "is the Christ, the Son of God". (Jn.20,31). If they are false, so also is Christ. He then becomes nothing more than an …

The Una Sancta In Luther's Theology, F. E. Mayer Nov 1947

The Una Sancta In Luther's Theology, F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Luther's concept of the Una Sancta was first and last soteriological; not sociological, not statistical, not organizational, not eschatological. Luther's emphasis on soteriology in his definition of the Church can be understood only in the light of his theological principle. Scholastic theology had not satisfied him. Its Aristotelian method had failed to bring assurance of peace to his heart, and its autosoteric principles had been unable to quiet his conscience. The Apostle's message: "The sinner is justified by faith alone," changed Luther's theology both as to method and to content.


The Mystics Of The Late Middle Ages And Their Influence On The Lutheran Reformation, E Edward Hackmann May 1947

The Mystics Of The Late Middle Ages And Their Influence On The Lutheran Reformation, E Edward Hackmann

Bachelor of Divinity

Like all historical movements, the Lutheran Reformation has its antecedents in previous time. It is with one of these preparatory and influencing movements that this paper is to deal, namely, that of Late Medieval Mysticism. In this paper, we shall attempt to present the chief representatives of Late Medieval Mysticism. We have devoted three sections to each representative: first, a brief biographical sketch; secondly, an abbreviated condensation of their mysticism and theological doctrines; and thirdly, a brief evaluation of their sphere of influence and their implications for the Reformation.

The Doctrine Of The Atonement In The Synoptic Gospels, John H. Geisler May 1946

The Doctrine Of The Atonement In The Synoptic Gospels, John H. Geisler

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is to prove that the synoptic Gospels teach the vicarious atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.


The Argument In Support Of The Hades Gospel, Th. Engelder Jun 1945

The Argument In Support Of The Hades Gospel, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Hades theologians deny that man's death puts an end to the period of grace and offer a lot of proof for their thesis that God provides opportunities for hearing the Gospel in Hades. Let us examine 21 of these arguments.


The Marburg Colloquy Of 1529: A Textual Study, George John Beto Feb 1945

The Marburg Colloquy Of 1529: A Textual Study, George John Beto

Concordia Theological Monthly

The primary sources on the Marburg Colloquy are comparatively numerous. While an official transcript of the proceedings was not kept, certain observers took notes and immediately after the conference supplemented these notes with the material they had retained in their memories. All of the sources are untranslated and are found in either German or Latin.


The Sola Scriptura And Its Modem Antithesis, John Theodore Mueller Jan 1945

The Sola Scriptura And Its Modem Antithesis, John Theodore Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is indeed correct to say that the outstanding achievement of Luther's Reformation was the recovery, clarification, and vindication of the sola gratia (sola fide). That truly was a pre-eminent accomplishment, an almost miraculous attainment, as it appears to everyone who considers how thoroughly Rome had succeeded in burying this articulus omnium fundamentalissimus under the rubbish of its extreme work-righteousness program.


Catholic Tributes To Luther, William Dallman Jan 1945

Catholic Tributes To Luther, William Dallman

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the centuries immediately preceding the Reformation the preaching monks regaled their hearers with tales of Troy and silly stories of the saints in order to catch the penny collection, and ''penny preachers" they were called by Brother Berthold of Regensburg in the thirteenth century.

Practical Subjects For Pastoral Conferences, P. E. Kretzmann Nov 1942

Practical Subjects For Pastoral Conferences, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is an interesting phenomenon, and one entirely in keeping with the lessons of church history, including the history of dogma, that a period of intense interest in doctrinal matters and in doctrinal discussions in any church-body may be followed by a period which is characterized by evidences of fatigue and of being surfeited with studies and discussions of this nature. In other words, we may expect periods of externalization to follow generations of the required emphasis on Scriptural doctrine in its fulness and comprehensiveness.

Some Observations On The Vocabulary Of The Fourth Gospel, R. T. Du Brau Feb 1941

Some Observations On The Vocabulary Of The Fourth Gospel, R. T. Du Brau

Concordia Theological Monthly

The fact is well known that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" frequently employs such simple but withal deeply significant terms as "life," "light," "truth," etc., and their antonyms, words and phrases totally lacking in the synoptic gospels.


Teaching Situations, Outlines, And Lesson Plans, P. E. Kretzmann Feb 1941

Teaching Situations, Outlines, And Lesson Plans, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

One of the strangest distinction which is observed when men are being trained for the ministry and, for that matter, when men are in the ministry, is that which prompts ministers to lay just about the exclusive emphasis of their office on preaching, that is, on delivering the sermons and addresses in public gatherings of the Christian congregation. No doubt this is the most conspicuous part of the ministry and one upon which success depends in a very vital way. We are prone to quote the statement from our Lutheran Confessions "Es ist kein Ding, das die Leute mehr bei …

The Internal Relationship, Linguistic And Theological, Between The Gospel Of John And The Epistles Of John, Marvin Kammrath Apr 1940

The Internal Relationship, Linguistic And Theological, Between The Gospel Of John And The Epistles Of John, Marvin Kammrath

Bachelor of Divinity

The intrinsic value of a paper such as the one here presented, lies not so much in the impression made by the finished product as in the profitable textual study which it entails. The task of digging deep into the language and theology of four books of the New Testament has been a pleasant one. In addition to the joy of working with the original Greek of the sacred New Testament, of making careful literal translations and thorough exegetical studies, there has been the added satisfaction of unfolding cumulative doctrinal evidence overwhelming in its depth and extent.

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, Alex Wm. Guebert Oct 1939

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, Alex Wm. Guebert

Concordia Theological Monthly

A fourth false argument for the modern theory of open questions is the appeal to certain points of doctrine in which former teachers recognized for their orthodoxy have erred. Those who advance this argument justify it in the following manner: In previous eras certain teachers of our Church entertained divergent opinions without being accused of heresy or denied church-fellowship by their fellow-Christiana.


Biblical Angelology And Resultant Problems, Robert Kamphoefner Sep 1939

Biblical Angelology And Resultant Problems, Robert Kamphoefner

Bachelor of Divinity

The Scriptural doctrine of the angels has caused much discussion in the theological world throughout the centuries. It occupied the minds and the efforts of the early Fathers of the Church and has continued to be a point of dogmatical discussion even today.


The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt Jul 1939

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

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the first place, it is not true that our dogmas come into existence gradually and that hence there are articles of faith "which are still in the process of formation, and others which as yet have either not at all or merely by way of beginning been drawn into the stream of events in which dogmas take shape." It is not true that some articles of faith have come down to us "as undecided, unfinished questions, incomplete structures, as open questions," because concerning these things one does not yet find unanimous agreement in the Lutheran Church.


St Paul's Use Of The Word Πνευμα, Paul Meyer Apr 1938

St Paul's Use Of The Word Πνευμα, Paul Meyer

Bachelor of Divinity

No one who studies the writings of St. Paul for any length of time can fail to note the frequent recurrence of this word and the importance which attaches to a correct understanding of its various shades of meaning. It occurs 149 times in the thirteen letters commonly ascribed to Paul, and, while there is in a study of Paul's conception of ηνε̂υμα a rich supply of material for investigation alike by the philosopher, the philologist, and the theologian, it is in the last field that its greatest value lies. Without a correct understanding of what Paul meant by the …
