“The Log In Your Own Eye.", Paul G. Bretscher
“The Log In Your Own Eye.", Paul G. Bretscher
Concordia Theological Monthly
It is painful for me to write what I am about to write-about the log in the eye of my own church. I am not blind to some of the specks or even logs which concern many of my brothers. Every confusion and diffusion and diminution of the Gospel deeply disturbs me. But our first concern has to be the log in the eye of those among us who assume they are qualified to do eye surgery on their brothers. The Lord's judgment has a strange way of beginning at Jerusalem.
Doctrinal Emphases In The Missouri Synod, Erwin L. Lueker
Doctrinal Emphases In The Missouri Synod, Erwin L. Lueker
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has had the same doctrinal basis for 125 years. It is remarkable that within that period of time the loyalty of no group in Synod to that basis as given in the constitution could be seriously challenged. This, however, does not mean that there were no variations in emphases. This study is a brief synopsis of such variations. It is not concerned with difference, uniformity, contradiction, or inconsistency in doctrine (although some of these factors may be present) but with coordinating stresses. Examination of consistent adherence to basic insights is also beyond the scope of this …
Law-Gospel Reductionism In The History Of The Lutheran Church -Missouri Synod, Edward H. Schroeder
Law-Gospel Reductionism In The History Of The Lutheran Church -Missouri Synod, Edward H. Schroeder
Concordia Theological Monthly
This essay proposes to trace a segment of the history of hermeneutics in The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod insofar as the distinction between Law and Gospel plays a role in that history. The study is important because in recent years one school of thought in the Synod has stated that some pastors and teachers are confusing the proper relationship between the two by practicing what these critics call "Gospel reductionism." This criticism seems to have been launched in the Synod in two conference papers that John Warwick Montgomery delivered to eight different audiences in the spring and fall of 1966.
Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton L. Rudnick
Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton L. Rudnick
Concordia Theological Monthly
Perhaps current tensions and polarization in the Synod have demonstrated the relevance of the study and desirability of updating it. On the other hand, 125th anniversary considerations may have prompted the request. Then again, since the request came rather late (only a month before the deadline), the unflattering truth may be that this article is a "filler" for other material which was cancelled at the last minute. Some questions are better left unanswered. (ED.: Ain't it the truth?)

The Sense Of Church History In Representative Missouri Synod Theology, David W. Lotz
The Sense Of Church History In Representative Missouri Synod Theology, David W. Lotz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Based on representative Missouri Synod writings from the late 19th century, the author describes and documents an "antihistorical bias" that has provided impediments to an appropriate appreciation of church history in Missouri Synod theology.
The Inspired Community: A Glance At Canon History, Everett R. Kalin
The Inspired Community: A Glance At Canon History, Everett R. Kalin
Concordia Theological Monthly
The leaders of the Early Church who gave us the first lists of New Testament Scriptures asserted the inspiration of these books but did not regard inspiration as the basis of their uniqueness. They saw the inspiration of the Scriptures as one aspect of a much broader activity of inspiration in the church. This article investigates the interrelationship between inspiration and canonicity and attempts tentative contemporary applications of the fathers' perspective.

First Communion And Confirmation, Berthold Von Schenk
First Communion And Confirmation, Berthold Von Schenk
Concordia Theological Monthly
The decision concerning the right age for First Communion is the prerogative of the pastor in the setting of his congregation. Every baptized child of God should receive the sacramental grace imparted in Holy Communion.
A Growing Commonality Among Lutherans?, Andrew J. White
A Growing Commonality Among Lutherans?, Andrew J. White
Concordia Theological Monthly
A statistical report from the Office of LCUSA shows that as of February 1970 there were 50 pan-Lutheran councils and conferences of various sorts in operation, representing 27 states, and another 39 in the process of formation, including 6 additional states. The great majority of these councils have come into existence in major metropolitan centers.
Hermeneutics And The Teacher Of Theology, Edgar Krentz
Hermeneutics And The Teacher Of Theology, Edgar Krentz
Concordia Theological Monthly
After discussing the use and meaning of the term “Hermeneutics," the author explores both the historical and the critical dimensions necessary in contemporary Biblical study and shows how teachers of theology, their students, and pastors can derive great benefits from such historical-critical studies of the sacred Scriptures.
Joseph Smith, Defender Of The Faith, Robert N. Hullinger
Joseph Smith, Defender Of The Faith, Robert N. Hullinger
Concordia Theological Monthly
A reassessment of Joseph Smith on the basis of how the Book of Mormon reflects the cultural context in which Smith lived leads the author to understand Smith as one who attempted to defend authentic Christian faith at his time and in his environment.
Early Israel As The Kingdom Of Yahweh, Albert E. Glock
Early Israel As The Kingdom Of Yahweh, Albert E. Glock
Concordia Theological Monthly
Archaeological evidence indicates that early Israel as the kingdom of Yahweh functioned on the analogy of Ancient Near Eastern vassal states. In the religion of Early Israel both law and warfare were vehicles for the extension of Yahweh's covenant rule.

Methods In Studying The Biblical Text Today, John Reumann
Methods In Studying The Biblical Text Today, John Reumann
Concordia Theological Monthly
A rich variety of methods exists today for studying Scripture - text criticism, philology, literary criticism; source, form, and redaction criticism, Religionsgeschichte, and a host of other "Geschichten" - so that the Bible is probably the world's most closely and minutely studied book. But how can all these techniques be put together into a method, in the classical sense of meth' hodos, a "way" "after" something, a way for getting from one point to another, from the text to the practical goal that concerns us here, proclaiming or communicating the text today?

A Survey Of Trends And Problems In Biblical Interpretation, Edgar Krentz
A Survey Of Trends And Problems In Biblical Interpretation, Edgar Krentz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Any man fool enough to accept the assignment described in the title above deserves his fate. He is like the mythological traveler approaching ancient Thebes. To go forward means to meet the Sphinx and her dread riddle; to miss the answer means to be thrown headlong down a precipitous cliff and face destruction. Yet the possibility that one may deprive Oedipus of his glory by answering the riddle leads one to trudge along the dusty path under the hot sun.

Tribute To John W. Behnken: Ministry In The Acceptable Time, Alfred O. Fuerbringer
Tribute To John W. Behnken: Ministry In The Acceptable Time, Alfred O. Fuerbringer
Concordia Theological Monthly
In our worship this morning two lines of thought converge. In the first place, it's the beginning of a new academic quarter, the last of this year. That raises questions: How are we doing? Are we reasonably close to schedule? Are we able for another three months to take the mounting pressures and to finish our courses? If we are concerned about the long-range and not just about today or tomorrow, next week or next May, what about our ministry?
The Posting Of Luther’S Theses - Legend Or Fact?, Franz Lau
The Posting Of Luther’S Theses - Legend Or Fact?, Franz Lau
Concordia Theological Monthly
Less than 10 years ago a discussion began over the posting of Luther's Ninety-five Theses, some doubting that it actually took place on the traditional day of October 31, 1517, some going so far as to contend that the posting never happened and is only a legend. Ten years ago, in the summer of 1957 at the Lutheran World Federation Meeting in Minneapolis, I was one of those who saw a young Sunday school teacher, impersonating Luther, on a float in a parade vigorously nail a copy of the Ninety-five Theses on a stage door depicting the one of Wittenberg. …
History And Theology In The Writings Of The Chronicler, Peter R. Ackroyd
History And Theology In The Writings Of The Chronicler, Peter R. Ackroyd
Concordia Theological Monthly
It would seem as if the Greek title of the two books of Chronicles, Ta Paraleipomena (“The things omitted") has left a certain legacy of doubt about the value of the work of the Chronicler. In liturgical use as well as in reconstructions of the history, particularly those of a more conservative kind, the tendency has often been for passages from 1 and 2 Chronicles to be inserted or utilized at what appear to be appropriate places when Samuel and Kings are being read or the history of that period is being surveyed, by way of supplementing the material covered …
