Calvinism In England During The Reformation Period As Seen In The Formularies Of The Established Church, Walter Sohn
Calvinism In England During The Reformation Period As Seen In The Formularies Of The Established Church, Walter Sohn
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The object of this thesis is to trace the introduction of Calvinism into the official and unofficial formularies of the Church of England during the Reformation period. Calvinism is defined as any distinctive theological teaching advocated by John Calvin, the leader of the Reformed Church during the middle of the sixteenth century. The official formularies were the confessional statements and prescribed forms of worship ordered to be used in the established Church by the English monarch. The unofficial formularies were theological writings approved by Convocation of the English clergy. While used in the Church, they had neither the approval of …
Fighter And Friend, Richard R. Caemmerer
Fighter And Friend, Richard R. Caemmerer
Concordia Theological Monthly
During the season of the Reformation Festival we do well to focus our thinking on two facets, at opposite poles and yet totally together, in the career and in the person of the great Reformer: that Luther was a fighter and that Luther was a friend. We would think about this fact obviously not just to say "How peculiar!" or "How interesting!" but in order that this fighting spirit, this friendly spirit, might become ingrained and fused in the heart and in the career of every one of us.
Luther's View Of Man In His Early German Writings, Heinz Bluhm
Luther's View Of Man In His Early German Writings, Heinz Bluhm
Concordia Theological Monthly
When Luther's first essay, Die Sieben puszpsalm, appeared in the spring of 1517, it met with instantaneous success. The reception accorded the German works of the next few years was similarly, even increasingly, enthusiastic. Martin Luther was, from his initial literary venture, easily the most widely read and influential writer in the German language in the second decade of the 16th century, from 1517 on to be exact if we ignore a brief but profound preface to his important first edition of the Theologia Germanica of the year before.
The Concept Of Hope In First Peter, Frederick Naumann
The Concept Of Hope In First Peter, Frederick Naumann
Bachelor of Divinity
Peter again relates his ethics to his certain hope. Peter is positively certain that the inheritance. is ready, prepared and preserved by God, and need only be revealed. There is no "maybe;" no "if''' in Peter's thinking. The masterpiece is under a canvas, all that is to be done is to have the canvas lifted. In this light of certain culmination of his expectation, Peter sets forth his ethics. Everything is viewed in the light of this hope

Hoyer On History, Herbert T. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The remarks in this article are primarily based upon the course in church history as he taught it in 1942 and on his two-semester elective in the history of the Lutheran Reformation. Since he was, above all, a student of Luther, it is in this area that his influence upon Lutheran clergymen has been most profound.
John Colet's Significance For The English Reformation, Carl S. Meyer
John Colet's Significance For The English Reformation, Carl S. Meyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
John Colet, dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, died in 1519. Two years later Henry VIII wrote the Assertio septem sacramentorum, his polemic against Martin Luther. Although Colet's death occurred (16 Sept. 1519) 20 months before Luther's books were burned in St. Paul's Cathedral courtyard (12 May 1521), he knew of Luther and Luther's books before his end came.
The Development Of The Itinerant Ministries In The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod 1847-1865, Karl Wyneken
The Development Of The Itinerant Ministries In The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod 1847-1865, Karl Wyneken
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This study is concerned with the effect the pressure to meet this need had on the traditional forms of ministry prevalent among Lutherans and the doctrinal ramifications and implications of forms adopted to meet these needs. In a general way, the problem of the itinerant ministries employed by the Missouri Synod may be expressed as a tension between stability on the one hand and mobility, or perhaps flexibility and adaptability, on the other. The stability was the traditional doctrine and church practice the German Lutheran immigrants had inherited and brought with them from the old country. The mobility was that …
Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton Rudnick
Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton Rudnick
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The conclusion of this study is that Fundamentalism and the Missouri Synod were not related closely enough for either to exert major influence upon the other. Basic factors in the background of each group kept them at a distance from one another, and, while their paths were often parallel, they never actually converged. The relationship was, for the most part, cordial, but never intimate, with the result that there was no important interchange of ideas and attitudes. It is for this reason that the word "in" had to become "and"--"Fundamentalism and the Missouri Synod,” signifying the revised view of at …

The Voice Of Augustana Vii On The Church, Frederick B. Mayer, Herbert T. Mayer (Translator)
Concordia Theological Monthly
In Europe as well as in the U.S. A. the question concerning the nature of the church is as much alive as the question concerning the nature of the Gospel Fundamentally one's ideas about the church are determined by one's position toward the Gospel. In the United States the Reformed theologians are concerning themselves with the question of the church from two points of view: the theological and the practical. As to the theological aspect of the question, the Reformed bodies offer a variety of answers, among which three stand out.
The Second Vatican Council, George A. Lindbeck
The Second Vatican Council, George A. Lindbeck
Concordia Theological Monthly
On October 11 the Second Vatican Council will begin its first two-month session. A second session will follow in the spring, and possibly a third and a fourth. Everyone agrees on the importance of this assembly but on little else. In the words of one French Roman Catholic journal, "Opinion is divided between smug optimism and bitter, if not acid, pessimism, or at least skepticism."
Early Christian Attitudes Toward The Roman State, Walter W. Oetting
Early Christian Attitudes Toward The Roman State, Walter W. Oetting
Concordia Theological Monthly
The church always confronts the state. Sometimes the relationship is casual, as in the United States, where, generally speaking, the church is allowed to carry on its work with little interference. Often, however, the relationship is one of antagonism, as in the Soviet Union, where the state insists that it has no concern at all about religion but where the Communist party, closely tied to the State, is in continuous struggle to convince the people to forsake their piety. Sometimes the relationship is one of domination. Either the church dominates the state, as was theoretically true during the Middle Ages …
