Another Anniversary, Edward May
Another Anniversary, Edward May
Concordia Theological Monthly
It will be another 73 years before it will be possible to write about 125 years of medical mission work in The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Mother Synod, like Elizabeth, conceived this child in her old age, years after her sisters (if I may be so bold) in the faith had given birth to their medical mission work. The older hospitals in foreign lands were started by Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, and "other Lutherans." Missouri is a late comer, and after 52 years, her child still does not have much to show and tell.
The Biblical Basis Of Mission, Roland E. Miller
The Biblical Basis Of Mission, Roland E. Miller
Concordia Theological Monthly
"The Biblical Basis of Mission" is a subject that no individual Christian dare avoid. Rather than being a matter for which he cannot "find time," it is one that must frequently be in his thoughts. This, after all, is the subject that in many ways determines the entire pattern of the Christians' life.
Church, Ministry And Mission Fields, Maynard Dorow
Church, Ministry And Mission Fields, Maynard Dorow
Concordia Theological Monthly
The ministry is currently the focus of considerable attention on nearly all Christian fronts. On the American scene this attention has been occasioned in part by the general shortage of clergy. More than this, however, questions are being raised concerning the role of the pastor and the relevance of the ministry as presently conceived for our industrial and urban society.
Opportunities In The Field Of Bible Translating, Eugene A. Nida
Opportunities In The Field Of Bible Translating, Eugene A. Nida
Concordia Theological Monthly
Ever since World War II an increasingly larger number of persons have become interested in and concerned for the field of Bible translating; the strategy of the printed page and the crucial necessity of wider distribution of the Scriptures have forced Christians to pay greater attention to the translation and revision of the Holy Scriptures. In our rapidly shrinking world, those with even a limited knowledge of the problems of communication on the mission field, have not failed to be impressed with the significant contribution which can be made by the relatively new emphases on structural linguistics and cultural anthropology. …
Toward A Japanese Theology: Kitamori's Theology Of The Pain Of God, Richard Meyer
Toward A Japanese Theology: Kitamori's Theology Of The Pain Of God, Richard Meyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Christian theologians of the younger churches in Asia have complained, perhaps facetiously, perhaps seriously, that they have not yet produced a serious indigenous heresy. Behind this is the realization that Christianity is still largely a foreign, an imported, religion for most people of Asia. Christians gather in buildings of foreign architecture, sing unfamiliar melodies, and hear the Gospel preached in strangely foreign thought patterns. Their concern is not merely nationalistic but also evangelical They want the Gospel to be meaningful and relevant also in Asia.
The Readiness Of The World For The Mission, R. Pierce Beaver
The Readiness Of The World For The Mission, R. Pierce Beaver
Concordia Theological Monthly
"The Readiness of the World for the Mission" or "for the Gospel" has been a favorite argument in the promotion of the mission in Protestant churches for at least a century and a half. Thus John M. Mason, preaching in 1797, exulted in the fact that by the providence of God the most formidable obstacles to the spread of the faith, such as travel, language, manners, had already been overcome by those persons who were primarily serving science, wealth, and fame.
What Is A "Missionary," Anyway?, Graeme M. Rosenau
What Is A "Missionary," Anyway?, Graeme M. Rosenau
Concordia Theological Monthly
What is a "missionary," anyway? The answer cannot be given in 30 minutes or 30 hours. Some things that are extremely important can be said, and this iS an attempt to say them. But what is said can by its very generality point only beyond itself to the greatness of the work we missionaries have laid upon us and to the incalculable magnitude of the divine grace that has called us, even us, in our weakness and incapability, to perform it and has given us the power and promise that guarantee success. Only let us remember that the succes will …
The World Council Of Churches: A Theological Appraisal, F. E. Mayer, Richard Z. Meyer
The World Council Of Churches: A Theological Appraisal, F. E. Mayer, Richard Z. Meyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Throughout the history of the divided Church there have been earnest efforts to reunite the separated communions. The impetus for such a reunion usually was strongest in a period either of prosperity or of opposition. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the Church experienced an era of revivalism and expansion, and shortly the former confessional boundaries were ignored, and in spite of divergent doctrinal views denominations united in organizing the several national Bible Societies and large Missionary Associations. When shortly afterwards a wave of secularism swept over the world, the various communions again set aside their confessional differences and …
Lutheranism In India, Herbert M. Zorn
Lutheranism In India, Herbert M. Zorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
Lutherans in India have become a considerable factor among Christians. The first Protestant missionaries, Ziegenbalg and Pluetschau, were Lutherans. Lutheran missionaries had a strong influence in the early work of some of the non-Lutheran missions in South India. They can be found in the southern tip near Nagercoil, north and east of Calcutta near the Burma border, in central India. and even in Pakistan. There are Lutherans who speak Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Santali, Briya and several other languages and dialects. There are missions with only a little over two hundred members, and missions which have been replaced almost completely …
Missouri Synod Undertakes Foreign Missions, Herman H. Koppelmann
Missouri Synod Undertakes Foreign Missions, Herman H. Koppelmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
It was 1893, a depression year economically. But it was a great year within the Missouri Synod. At its triennial convention, Synod resolved to open two educational institutions, Concordia College of St. Paul, Minn., and a teachers' college in Nebraska. These were the first schools sponsored by Synod from their very inception. A consecrated Lutheran layman, J. P. Baden of Winfield, Kans., appropriated $50,000 toward the establishing of a college in the West. This became "St. John's English Lutheran College" of Winfield. Concordia Publishing House dedicated a new building on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Miami Street. This had …
Memorandum Concerning The Church Situation In Germany, Martin Kiunke
Memorandum Concerning The Church Situation In Germany, Martin Kiunke
Concordia Theological Monthly
The VELKD hopes to become the long-desired corpus Lutheranorum... Rudolph Rocholl (superintendent in Goettingen, Kirchenrat in Breslau, and president of the Prussian Lutheran Free Church) saw the disastrous influence of unionism more clearly than others and shortly after 1900 appealed to the Lutheran provincial churches to form a corpus Lutheranorum on a clearly defined confessional basis. His appeal was left unheeded.
Memorandum Concerning The Church Situation In Germany, Martin Kiunke
Memorandum Concerning The Church Situation In Germany, Martin Kiunke
Concordia Theological Monthly
Since the collapse of 1945 the church situation in Germany is horribly confused, for the political chaos seriously affected the church conditions. But even before the political collapse a number of trends developed in the Protestant churches which brought havoc to the churches. This disorder was accentuated by the political collapse to such a degree that conditions never were so confused in German church history as at present.
Our Missions In India And China, O. H. Schmidt
Our Missions In India And China, O. H. Schmidt
Concordia Theological Monthly
The second century - a century of mission expansion! What an appropriate slogan this would be for the second century of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other states! As we observe the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of this church organization, and as we give thanks to the Lord for the blessings of the past century, we should like to express the hope that the second century of our synodical existence will be made a century of mission expansion. And in order to stimulate interest and prompt action along this line, we beg our readers briefly …
The Greatest Missionary Problem, H. Nau
The Greatest Missionary Problem, H. Nau
Concordia Theological Monthly
The greatest missionary problem facing the Christian Church of the future is the world of Islam, the Moslem world. While the pagan world is comparatively well stocked with Christian missions and missionaries - comparatively well, we say, because we know only too well that in some parts of the pagan world the missionary occupation is but a skeleton one - the world of Islam has been touched only on its outskirts, its fringes.
The Developments Of Home Missions In North America, F. C. Streufert
The Developments Of Home Missions In North America, F. C. Streufert
Concordia Theological Monthly
As we look back upon the century of Synod's history that will soon be completed and think of the developments both in the history of our country and of our Church, we stand in wonderment. We marvel at the tremendous changes in every phase of activity, be it in the social, in the economic, in the political, or in the scientific field. It was a century that saw at its beginning the westward trek of the pioneer by oxcart and by covered wagon and at the close the use of the streamlined train, the auto, the airplane, the radio, and …
The Pastor And Foreign Missions, A. M. Rehwinkel
The Pastor And Foreign Missions, A. M. Rehwinkel
Concordia Theological Monthly
To evangelize the world was the Great Commission which Jesus gave to His disciples when He took leave of them to return to His Father. To evangelize the world is still the great responsibility of the Church today. The apostles preached first in Jerusalem and Judea but then went down to Samaria and from thence to the great Greco-Roman world beyond. Home Missions, or the evangelization of the unchurched in our community, is our first obligation; but while doing this, we dare not neglect the "Samarias" and the partes infidelium beyond. We have done reasonably well in preaching the Gospel …
The Laymen's Foreign Mission Inquiry, W. Arndt
The Laymen's Foreign Mission Inquiry, W. Arndt
Concordia Theological Monthly
The almost unprecedented amount of discussion which the press of the country allots to the report of the undertaking known as the Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry seems to demand that in addition to the brief appraisal of the report in our last issue our journal devote an article to this subject.
