The Missouri Synod And English Work, H. B. Hemmeter

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Missouri Synod, which is about to celebrate its centennial in 1947, has been known in the past largely as a German-speaking body. Its interest and its activity in Lutheran church work in the English language are not so generally known or understood. The fact is that both the Saxon and the Franconian founders from the very beginning were interested in, and anxious to do, service in the language of their new homeland. Already before the organization of Synod in 1847 the Saxons in 1838 established their Concordia Academy in Altenburg, Missouri, enrolling at the very start one who was …

Luther: A Blessing To The English, W. Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Reformed Abraham Scultetus says in his Annals: "Students from all nations came to Wittenberg to hear Luther and Melanchthon. As they came in sight of the town, they returned thanks to God with clasped hands, for from Wittenberg, as hitherto from Jerusalem, the light of evangelical truth had spread to the uttermost parts of the earth." And so the historian Green calls Wittenberg "the little town which had suddenly become the sacred city of the Reformation."

Luther: A Blessing To The English, W. Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In 1529 Latimer at Cambridge in his two famous Sermons on the Card urged the universal reading of the Bible. He was opposed by prior John Buckenham in a sermon on Christmas Dice.

On April 3 the Catholics were threatened with Luther and bis followers.

Luther: A Blessing To The English, W. Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The First English Lutherans and the First English Lutheran Theological Seminary

''Martin Luther" is written over the page with the names of Gardiner, Cranmer, Thirlby, and Bilney, the degree list of Cambridge in 1521.

A committee was sent to London to have Luther's books examined and to get an order from Cardinal Wolsey to burn them - Drs. Humfrey; Robert Ridley, uncle of the martyr; John Watson, praised by Erasmus; and Henry Bullock, a pupil of Erasmus, ''most learned Bovillus," now professor of Greek and vice-chancellor.

The books were burned on Market Hill about the Easter term, and the grand …

Luther: A Blessing To The English, W. Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Papacy excepted, the empire was the highest honor to which any potentate could aspire. Though little better than an empty title, though scarcely more than the shadow of a great name, destined speedily to become more visionary than ever, its ancient traditions made a deep impression on the romantic heart of the Middle Ages. Its half sacred, half secular dignity, shrouded by a mysterious and unsubstantial grandeur; its position as the military headship and supremacy of Christendom; its imperial bishops and regal princes; its sacred knights and Teutonic brotherhoods; its haunted forests and weird mountains; had all combined to …

Criticism Of Contemporary Literature In English Periodicals, 1700-1760, Janet B. Marks

Student Work

The eighteenth century probably will be called the age of reason and classicism as long as English literature is studied. Reason prevailed not only in literature but in almost all of the phases of life; religion, politics, social intercourse and domestic relations, all were brought under the sway of reason. “A literature which is essentially rational is not the work of a generation; it can come fully into its own, be securely established, only after a process of increment, through which the average instincts have been adapted to it, and every predictable difficulty has been smothered away. One may say …

A Study Of Creative Writing In A Ninth Grade Class., Anne D. Jensen

Student Work

Hughes Mearnes, in his book, discusses briefly, the purpose of teaching creative writing. In his own words, “We are not preparing primarily to make poets or even to make writers; our purpose has been simply to set up such an environment as might extend further, the possibilities in creative writing of pupils of high school age.”

Milton As Historian, Lando Clarence Otto

Student Work

When considering Milton’s prose, one usually thinks first of the Areopagitica, then, perhaps, of the divorce pamphlets, the pleas for the abolition of episcopacy, and the political writings. As a historian Milton is ordinarily remembered only in connection with the famous passages in Paradise Regained concerning the rule of the Romans and the culture of the Athenians. But the poet and pamphleteer also wrote a history of England, which is of significance not only because it elucidates his other literary productions but also because it is noteworthy as a work of historical research in its own right.

An Investigation Of Plays Of American Authorship Produced In New York, 1930 To 1935, Gunnar Horn

Student Work

The diversity of American drama today is its most noticeable characteristic. At the present time anyone looking for an underlying unity seems doomed to failure.

Generally speaking, of course, that drama is greatest which is vital to the greatest number of people . Possibly dramatic geniuses will eventually arise to interpret this period in its larger aspects. In the meantime, all drama, just as life and thought, is fragmentary; and playgoers must content themselves with divers inspirations from wildly differing minds.

A Comparison Of The King James And The Douay Version, Geo. A. Vogel

Concordia Theological Monthly

The treatment of this subject is occasioned by the jubilee of Luther as translator. It was the example of Luther that spurred others to action in giving the Holy Scriptures to the people in their own vernacular. In the era of the Reformation the Bible was translated into practically all the leading languages of Europe. Luther's work was the pattern for all of them. Luther finished the New Testament in 1522; Tyndale followed with his English translation of the New Testament in 1525. It was done partly in Hamburg and partly in Wittenberg, Cologne, and Worms.

The Humor Of William Dean Howells, Evelyn Kase

Student Work

It is the purpose of this study to analyze the humor of William Dean Howells and, if possible, to capture something of its elusive spirit. To do this, the nature, purpose and technic of it are separately considered insofar as it is possible to do so with a indivisible quality.

Naturally, this paper makes no mistaken claim to be the concluding word on this subject. Too many more acute analyses have tried to do so, only to meet with partial success, if not total failure. It is therefore for both the sins of omission and commission that the writer asks …

Some Influences On The Poet Edwin Arlington Robinson, Gladys E. Reynolds

Student Work

At the date of the study, Edwin Arlington Robinson has passed his sixty-fourth birthday and has recently published his eighteenth book of poetry. For thirty years he has devoted his entire time to writing and has been acclaimed many times the foremost poet of America. He has the unusual distinction of having won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry three times (in 1922 for his Collected Poems, in 1925 for The Man Who Died Twice, and in 1927 for Tristram) and has been generously recognized and honored by contemporary poets on numerous occasions.

An Evaluation Of Teaching Practice In The Minimum Essentials Of English Through Grades Six To Twelve In The Schools Of Cache County, Utah 1931-1932, W. Wendell Perkins

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

National English Committees insist that composition content is of first importance; organization of ideas, second; and form third. The writer agrees with this point of view, but believes that a large proportion of class time in English, all through the grades, is spent in trying to establish knowledge and skill in the use of grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and mechanics generally.

The "Far Indians" In The Anglo-French Struggle For Empire 1650-1730, Thomas Ezra Davis

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This study aims to give an account of the importance of the "Far Indians" in the great contest between the French and the English for empire in America.

For nearly a century (1689-1763) England and France were diplomatic rivals in the complicated politics of Europe and for a third of the century they were actually at war.¹ This thesis deals with that narrow phase which has to do with the "Far Indians" in this great struggle. Although their influence extended to the close of the French and Indian War in 1763, the writer has seen fit to delimit this …

English Religious Poetry Of The Nineteenth Century As Influenced By The Catholic Spirit, Mary Mida

Master's Theses

Since we are now entering upon the second quarter of the twentieth century, it follows that the perspective thus offered gives ample scope for an authoritative report on the literary output of the preceding century, in the special field chosen - English Religious Poetry. The older English poets wrote from an established point of view, that is, their human creed and their idea of man coincided, while the modern English poets voice the protest or the defense of those who have little in common save the genius of the Bard. This has led to a certain recklessness in the matter …
