The Influence Of Archaeological Evidence On The Reconstruction Of Religion In Monarchical Israel, Horace D. Hummel

Concordia Theological Monthly

Early covenant traditions shaped much of Israel’s theological expression even after the wilderness wandering and settlement. The author examines kingship, cult, and prophecy in monarchical Israel and cites archaeological evidence to support his contentions.

A Man Without Spare Time, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The papers that appear in this issue were originally presented at a symposium on the relationship between archaeology and theology held at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, October 3-5, 1969, and subsidized by the Aid Association for Lutherans. The introductory essay was delivered by Professor G. Ernest Wright under the title "Historical Knowledge and Revelation." This material has appeared in Translating and Understanding the Old, Testament, Essays in Honor of Herbert Gordon May, ed. H. T. Frank and W. L Reed (New York: Abingdon, 1970), pp. 279-303.

The Goddess With The Tambourine, Delbert R. Hillers

Concordia Theological Monthly

The author studies a figurine discovered at Taanach and in doing so provides an exercise in asking the right archaeological question and working out tentative answers.

The Meaning Of Archaeology For The Exegetical Task, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The author illustrates how archaeological evidence may supplement, clarify, contradict, or confirm historical and geographical statements in the Scriptures. Biblical theologians and archaeologists need to work together in the exegetical task.

Early Israel As The Kingdom Of Yahweh, Albert E. Glock

Concordia Theological Monthly

Archaeological evidence indicates that early Israel as the kingdom of Yahweh functioned on the analogy of Ancient Near Eastern vassal states. In the religion of Early Israel both law and warfare were vehicles for the extension of Yahweh's covenant rule.

Some Ancient Documents And Some Current Thoughts, Thomas C. Hartman

Concordia Theological Monthly

Critical scholarship has made many valuable contributions to our knowledge of the Old Testament. A series of examples illustrates this point. We need to be sure that we retain the priority of exegesis over dogmatics.

A Look At The Neb-Ot, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

A reviewer of the New English Bible (NEB) is inclined to compare this text with that of the 18-year-old Revised Version (RSV) and the new Jerusalem Bible. Before he compares these three versions, he needs to note the difference in backgrounds in each case. The RSV is, of course, not a new translation, but as the name indicates, it is a revision of the old King James Version. Its purpose is to bring the Authorized Version up-to-date, modernizing words and phrases that might not be intelligible to the reader of the 20th century.

Sic Et Non: Are We So Sure Of Matthean Dependence On Mark?, H. P. Hamann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Let’s take another look at the view that Matthew depends on Mark, especially at the way in which G. M. Styler has recently defended it. The author then examines the pros and cons of the arguments and concludes that the case for Markan priority is not as open and shut as some would argue.

Fresh Perspectives On Matthean Theology, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

In his book The Parables of Jesus in Matthew 13 Jack Kingsbury argues that chapter 13 marks the great turning point in Matthew's theological interpretation of Jesus' life. After 13, Jesus no longer tries to teach the people of Israel, but instead concentrates on the disciples, the true people of God. But Kingsbury's analysis of λαλεῑν overlooks important evidence concerning the use of λαλεῑν and διδάσχειν. The author then presents a new interpretation of the difficult statement by Jesus concerning why He spoke in parables.

Eschatology In The Teachings Of Jesus, Kenneth Heinitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

A study of biblical language about kingdom and life reveals that both terms are eschatological and that both emphasize the quality of Christian living rather than presenting a timetable for the advent of the Parousia. Jesus brings both and calls men to decision. Kingdom and life are present possessions of believers, and the day of judgment will bring their culmination. When Jesus spoke of the signs of His Parousia, He was speaking of the signs that point to the coming of the Son of Man rather than to the actual coming itself. Eschatological hope characterizes all that the Christian does.

Factors Affecting Frequency Of Celebration And Reception Of The Eucharist In Twentieth Century Non-Roman Churches And Religious Communities, Paul Clarence Dorn

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The study traces the practice of the Christian. church from the time of the New Testament to the present day in re1ation to the matter of frequency of reception and celebration. The assumption is that a study of earlier eucharistic practices will give a better perspective to the study of present-day churches and religious communities.

Preserve The Unity Of The Spirit, Richard R. Caemmerer Sr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

Surely there is no gift for the human race that we desire more at this hour than unity. Nations fight nations, classes stand embattled against classes, spouses and children draw apart from each other. The most deadly illness of the individual today is alienation, the sense of being alone. Would that there could be unity to draw us together!

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 Fear Of God As Ethical Motivation In Pauline Theology, Walter A. Maier

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The present writer has long been interested in the study of Pauline instruction concerning motivation for sanctification. In 1967 he presented to the faculty of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, a Master of Sacred Theology thesis on the subject of the fourth of the abovementioned motivations for ethical living, namely, faith in the fact of the Christian's union with Christ and personal participation with Him in his death and resurrection. The opportunity to enter upon a concentrated study of what Paul has to say, in particular, about the sanctifying fear of God presented itself in the same year, when the writer …

Rudolf Bultmann Revisited, Otto W. Heick

Concordia Theological Monthly

Early in the fifties the writer asked the late Paul Althaus of Erlangen whether in his opinion World War II ushered in a new epoch in the history of theology, as had been the case with the first World War. His answer was no. The emphasis in theology, he felt, had remained unchanged. Seen from the vantage point of the mid-sixties, we know that Althaus was wrong. Gradually through the fifties interest in neoorthodoxy declined. Karl Barth no longer dominated the theological scene. The name of Rudolf Bultmann began to claim primary attention. The historical problems of the New Testament …

The Qumran Meal And The Last Supper, John E. Groh

Concordia Theological Monthly

The presence of "communal meals" among the Covenanters of Qumran has given birth to the question of the relationship of these meals to the Christian Eucharist as instituted by Jesus Christ. Kuhn notes that "the Qumran texts, as well as Josephus, agree that this order had, as its peculiar features, the constantly repeated baths of immersion and the daily communal meal of the community." Josephus describes the meals of the Essenes (presently considered to be the mother group of the Qumran Convenanters).

Documentation: What's Around The Corner For Humanity In The Life Sciences?, Paul E. Lutz

Concordia Theological Monthly

My comments here are restricted to those biological breakthroughs that will have some theological or moralistic implications. You must, therefore, understand that this restriction eliminates an enormous number of small and some very large advances in the area of basic biological research. Detailed research, for example, on mitochondrial DNA, mechanisms for hydrogenation in photosynthesis, insect photoperiodism, bacterial taxonomy, and phosphorus metabolism by planktonic desmids will all be very exciting and will significantly advance those areas. But there are few if any direct theological; ethical, or philosophical conceptual spin-offs from such studies.

My remarks are structured in three basic areas of …
