The Pastor And Secular Literature, M. S. Sommer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Give attendance to reading," St. Paul admonished the young clergyman Timothy. And what Timothy was told is to be impressed upon every clergyman: give attendance to reading. When, after the death of Moses, Joshua assumed leadership over Israel. God told him: "This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night.” To one who would lead and teach others God addresses these challenging words: "Thou, therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?" Rom. 2, 21.
The Blast That Wrecked The Pope's Power, Theo. Hoyer
The Blast That Wrecked The Pope's Power, Theo. Hoyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Some years ago a writer in the Concordia Theological Monthly (I, 571-581) pointed out that the dynamic of Luther’s Reformation was his clear and powerful preaching of justification by faith alone. By his own experience Luther, by the grace of God, had recognized that the solo fide alone can give positive assurance to the sinner of God's pardon and his own eternal salvation; what he had found he taught and preached to others who were seeking certainty for the eternity beyond the grave and failed to find it in the work-righteousness of the papal teaching; and so Luther became the …

King Henry Viii Courts Luther, W. Dallmann
King Henry Viii Courts Luther, W. Dallmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
On March 11, 1535, Dr. Barnes, "the king's chaplain and professor of theology," was again in Wittenberg, "treating only- of the second marriage of the king," and trying very hard to get Melanchthon to go to England. Of course, he did not win the Lutherans to approve of the divorce.
The Greatness Of Luther's Commentary On Galatians, R. T. Du Brau
The Greatness Of Luther's Commentary On Galatians, R. T. Du Brau
Concordia Theological Monthly
If some theologians and historians declare to have been disappointed with Luther's Galatians, it is because they looked for a commentary more learned and critical than popular. It was not intended to be a critical study in the present philological sense of the term. Nor does the work hold out the slightest shred of comfort to the Modernist. During the stormy years that gave birth to this commentary Luther had too much practical work of prior importance on his hands to find leisure for comparative and critical exegesis.
Luther, Bucer, And The Wittenberg Concordia, P. E. Kretzmann
Luther, Bucer, And The Wittenberg Concordia, P. E. Kretzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
May 20 of this year will mark the four-hundredth anniversary of the Wittenberg Concordia, an event which is usually not given the prominence which its significance during a critical period of the Reformation really merits. The occasion deserves attention not only on account of the important positions occupied by the chief participants, Luther, Bugenhagen, Melanchthon, Bucer, Capito, and others, but also on account of the significance of the doctrines concerned in the controversy and the far-reaching influence of the modus operandi employed by the prominent men engaged in the attempt to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond …
The Principles And Teachings Of The Dialectical Theology, Th. Engelder
The Principles And Teachings Of The Dialectical Theology, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
The principles ruling the dialectical theology are not those of the Reformation. Brunner repudiates the formal principle of Protestantism, the sola Scriptura. He refuses to accept Scripture as the sole authority, the only source and basis of doctrine. The bare words of Scripture cannot establish a doctrine. “In earlier days this discussion [concerning the Virgin Birth] used to be cut short by saying briefly, ‘It is written'; that is, with the aid of the doctrine of verbal inspiration. To-day we can no longer do this, even if we would." (P. 823.) Brunner is consistent. Since he rejects the real inspiration …
The First Three Bibles That Entered The Early Life Of Martin Luther, E. A. Brueggemann
The First Three Bibles That Entered The Early Life Of Martin Luther, E. A. Brueggemann
Concordia Theological Monthly
He was surprised that the Bible contained more than the Gospel- and the Epistle-lessons of the church-year. He was pleased with the story of Hanna and Samuel. But he had not had before, nor did he have now or for the next two years, any predilection for the Bible. We know of no instance nor occasion during the years of his adolescence when he ever expressed a desire or eagerness to study the Scriptures.
Testifying The Gospel Of The Grace Of God, T. Engelder
Testifying The Gospel Of The Grace Of God, T. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Whenever St. Paul had occasion to speak of his work in the Christian ministry, his thoughts dwelt on one subject: "The Gospel of the grace of God." At a conference at Miletus he characterized his ministry thus : "None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God," Acts 20, 24. On the present occasion we cannot, and we would not, speak on any other subject. Let …
