The Development Background And Analysis Of The Termination Of Fellowship With The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod By The Wisconsin Synod, Myron Maltz
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
Lutheranism is no exception to the historical account of the Christian Church.

This segment of confessional Lutheranism provides an excellent source of historical truth and application.

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The problem expressed in the title of this thesis is not a new one. Ever since man rejected fellowship with God the need for renewal has been a concern of God's people. The exploration of the basis for and the possibility of such renewal among and within God's people has been studied in every generation, but the need for restatement and reevaluation will remain a necessary procedure as long as man lives in the world.

Also the theological journal of Concordia Theological Seminary, St. Louis, which appeared under various names (Lehre und Webre, Theological Monthly, and Concordia Theological Monthly) will be extensively used. …

In what manner did they, or could they receive the mercy and forgiveness of …
