Luther And The Late Medieval Augustinians: Another Look, David C. Steinmetz
Luther And The Late Medieval Augustinians: Another Look, David C. Steinmetz
Concordia Theological Monthly
The question of the relationship of Martin Luther to the theological traditions of his own order, to which he was exposed in a lesser or greater degree, has remained one of the interesting, if unsolved problems of Luther research.
Psychology And Theology: A Return To Dialog, Alan C. Reuter
Psychology And Theology: A Return To Dialog, Alan C. Reuter
Concordia Theological Monthly
There is a close relationship between Christian theology and contemporary psychology. The Lutheran theological tradition is especially founded in an experiential matrix which gives it a common ground with psychological thought. However, this relationship between theology and psychology has not always been a clear or comfortable one.

Is God Trying To Tell Us Something?, Wayne Saffen
Is God Trying To Tell Us Something?, Wayne Saffen
Concordia Theological Monthly
As the 1970s began, the western region of the National Campus Ministry Association held a convocation at the University of California's Santa Cruz campus to consider "Life Planning." The present article is a revision of this author's discussion paper for that conference. Its theme really deals with the crisis in ministry as such. As usual, campus ministry turns out to be one of the sensitive outposts catching some of the first signals of changes coming to affect church and ministry in the world. It is shared here with a wider readership in a firm commitment to and belief in confraternity …

Kosmos-Men Or Men For The Kosmos, Donald Heinz
Kosmos-Men Or Men For The Kosmos, Donald Heinz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Kosmos is a key theological term in the Gospel of John. The author of the Fourth Gospel chose this term to signal his concept of men without God, men in need of God, men in rebellion against God, men who would decide against God when confronted with His Sent One. The Christian church has often found it easy to look out into the world to see what John was talking about. The overtones of the English word "world" as a translation of "kosmos" have helped the church· deceive itself theologically.

The Gospel And The Ecumenical Movement, Robert P. Scharlemann
The Gospel And The Ecumenical Movement, Robert P. Scharlemann
Concordia Theological Monthly
The first conference on "Life and Work," held in Stockholm in 1925, appealed to Christians to repent the divisions among them and to make the gospel the decisive power in all areas of life. This conference - the "Nicea of ethics," as it came to be called-was not summoned to discuss the theological or dogmatic questions which divide the churches; it was called to address the churches' task of working together in the public life. The invitation declared the world situation to be so serious that Christians could not afford to await the reunion of churches before setting "hearts and …
The History Of A Joint Catechism: Progress In India, Herbert M. Zorn
The History Of A Joint Catechism: Progress In India, Herbert M. Zorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
Efforts toward union have generally been characterized by emphasis either on "order" or "faith." To epitomize these emphases with the phrases "union first, agreement later" and "agreement first, union later" approaches caricature; but it does serve to indicate the direction in which each emphasis is headed. Both these emphases seem to partake of the same weakness, the supposition that the other side, somehow or other, will be taken care of. The "union first" supposes that agreement will grow out of union; "agreement first" supposes that a series of agreed propositions is going to take care of the organizational problems of …

Sexuality, Marriage, And Divorce In 1 Corinthians 6:12-7:16, Walter J. Bartling
Sexuality, Marriage, And Divorce In 1 Corinthians 6:12-7:16, Walter J. Bartling
Concordia Theological Monthly
No other social institution can begin to compete with marriage as a subject of ethical concern and reflection on all levels and in all periods of Biblical thought (for example, the opening chapters of Genesis, specific regulatory injunctions in the Torah, the ethical message of the prophets, wisdom literature - both canonical and extracanonical, the Sermon on the Mount, the Tables of Duties in Paul and Peter). Equally important for a study of marriage are the varying patterns of marital and familial life reflected in passing references and allusions in historical accounts (for example, the patriarchal family history, the chronicles …
Living With The Brothers In The Lord, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
Living With The Brothers In The Lord, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
Nov. 11, 1967-today-is the 49th anniversary of the armistice that initiated the end of the war between the Central Powers and the Allied Powers. It is also the 484th anniversary of the baptism of Martin Luther. On this day I as a Lutheran "brother in the Lord" am greatly pleased to have been asked to address this Roman Catholic diocesan Institute on Ecumenism. The fact that this day is both the anniversary of an armistice and the anniversary of a baptism is not, I hope, without its symbolic significance.

New Testament Studies, Past And Present, Edgar Krentz
New Testament Studies, Past And Present, Edgar Krentz
Concordia Theological Monthly
The pastor who picks up a recent New Testament introduction or theology, a study of the Synoptic Gospels or Acts, or a history of New Testament times may well feel that for him the study of the New Testament has become an arcane and esoteric discipline. The questions asked about the Redaktionsgeschichte of a Gospel, the surprising frequency with which the term gnosis or Gnosticism appears in current literature, or the discussion in many circles of "incipient catholicism" may well lead him to suspect that the whole discipline has now changed.

The Pastor As Scholar, Herbert Lindemann
The Pastor As Scholar, Herbert Lindemann
Concordia Theological Monthly
That some pastors are scholars is true enough. But it is also true that most of them don't continue as pastors very long; presently they become members of a college or seminary faculty. Those who do stay in parish work are not likely to achieve great success, at least statistically, for the parochial ministry today is an activist function; there is not much time for contemplation or for intensive study.
Scripture, Tradition, And Authority In The Life Of The Early Church, Herbert T. Mayer
Scripture, Tradition, And Authority In The Life Of The Early Church, Herbert T. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Among the many theological topics being discussed in the church today, none is potentially more helpful - and more complex- than the related topics of Scripture, tradition, and authority. What role does each of these basic concepts play in the work in the parish? In the ecumenical movement? How do they relate to each other?

The Historical Jesus, The Kerygmatic Christ, And The Eschatological Community, John H. Elliott
Concordia Theological Monthly
We are about to discuss a subject that is quite difficult - if not impossible - to treat in completely detached or neutral fashion. For this is a subject which forces a man, every man, to take a position and to make a decision. The earnestness of this decision is to be found in the fact that this is not merely a subject for academic disputation. It is a question of theology and faith. The subject historically has been treated in terms of a question, or a "riddle," as one English scholar has called it. The question or riddle is …
