Predestination, John Herzog May 1939

Predestination, John Herzog

Bachelor of Divinity

The questions which press themselves upon us as we approach the problem are these: Without distinction in us, why did not God save all or damn all? Cur alii, non alii? Why was I converted while another who was no more sinful was not? Is unbelief the cause or result of "non-election"? If cause, then "intuitu fidei"; if result, then decreta alsoluta. What is to be held of the faith of the "Zeitglaeubigen? etc., etc.

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt May 1939

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Johann Gerhard, whose authority is adduced against us, is of the same well-founded opinion [that, while in this life not a higher unity than a fundamental one is possible, errors that arise in a church-body should not be treated with indifference, even if they are of a non-fundamental character]. He writes against the papists, who place unity among the marks of the Church: ''It must be added that unity of faith and doctrine in the Church is not a perfect and absolute one in this life; for at times controversies occur between members of the true Church through which this …

Roger Williams' Individualism In Baptist Theology And Church Polity, Rudolph Ritz

Aspects Of Pragmatisim In Relation To Christian Theology, Frederick Gumz Apr 1939

Aspects Of Pragmatisim In Relation To Christian Theology, Frederick Gumz

Bachelor of Divinity

The pragmatism of Dewey and James is doubtless responsible to a large degree for the general tendency in modern theology of subordinating Scripture to the ends of practical life, and of accepting as true only those of its doctrines which can be translated into tangible consequences contributory to the welfare of society or the individual. Believing that theology in the past has been concerned too much with the mere “intellectual interrelations of certain concepts,” churchmen are today advocating a greater emphasis on the “functioning of the religious consciousness.” This movement has aroused a wide-spread aversion to doctrine and a passion …

The Doctrine Of Holy Baptism In The Pauline Epistles, Arlo Mueller Apr 1939

The Doctrine Of Holy Baptism In The Pauline Epistles, Arlo Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose or this treatise is to show, primarily, that the doctrine which the Confessional Lutheran Church has taught concerning the Sacrament of Holy Baptism is the Scriptural doctrine as taught in the Pauline Epistles, and that the various errors of Enthusiasm on this point must be rejected as conflicting with the clear teachings of Paul, the great apostle.

The Bearing Of The Theory Of Evolution Upon The Chrisitian Doctrine Of Man, Theodore Martin Apr 1939

The Bearing Of The Theory Of Evolution Upon The Chrisitian Doctrine Of Man, Theodore Martin

Bachelor of Divinity

Evolution is an attempt to explain present conditions. In reality it consists of a number of explanatory attempts, none of which are satisfactory. All involve change, a development of the simple into the complex. Evolution has been defined as a "change due to circumstances,” but this is only a part of the story. As it is generally understood, evolution means much more than this. It means a development in matter resulting from the action or forces resident in matter itself.

The Gnosticism Opposed And Condemed In The New Testament, Erwin Lueker Apr 1939

The Gnosticism Opposed And Condemed In The New Testament, Erwin Lueker

Bachelor of Divinity

It is our purpose in this thesis to trace the movement in the form in which it is opposed and condemned in the New Testament, and, if possible, find external information on these movements. Although many of the passages which condemn false teachers may have been written against gnostics, we shall deal only with those in which gnostic tendencies are revealed.

Evil Spirits, R. T. Du Brau Apr 1939

Evil Spirits, R. T. Du Brau

Concordia Theological Monthly

This nomenclature no doubt harks back to the impure and unclean spirit of idolatry. To the ennobled and regenerated Christian soul, uncleanness was inseparable from the pagans' worship of their lesser divinities, or demons, both from a physical and psychical point of view. This is echoed by an emphatic longer descriptive phrase, occurring once only, and this in Luke 4:33.

The Means Of Grace In Roman Theology, Theodore Graebner Apr 1939

The Means Of Grace In Roman Theology, Theodore Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

That things are not what they seem is an observation elicited frequently by a course of study in Roman Catholic dogma. At no point is this caution more necessary than in an attempt to comprehend the Roman Catholic idea of Grace and of the Means of Grace.

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt Apr 1939

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the foreword of the present volume of this journal we stated in which sense one may without hesitation speak of open questions. At the same time we declared that we reject the modern theory of open questions. It appears necessary, however, that we point out how untenable the arguments are which are advanced In support and justification of this theory.

Newman Under Foreign Skies, Mary Mirabella

Bachelors’ Theses

December 1832: That date marked the beginning of a memorable few months in the life of a colossal figure of the nineteenth century, John Henry Cardinal Newman-a figure scarcely possible of eclipse at any period and surely most outstanding at this particular epoch of the Anglican Church's history.

The Doctrine Of Justification According To Duns Scotus, Doctor Subtilis, Theo. Dierks Mar 1939

The Doctrine Of Justification According To Duns Scotus, Doctor Subtilis, Theo. Dierks

Concordia Theological Monthly

In his book Die Theologie des Johannes Duns Scotus, Seeberg compares Duns Scotus with Luther and maintains that Luther's conflict with Rome was chiefly directed against Duns Scotus. This is true to some extent, especially in regard to the question of free will and grace.

The Means Of Grace As Viewed By The Reformed, J. T. Muller Mar 1939

The Means Of Grace As Viewed By The Reformed, J. T. Muller

Concordia Theological Monthly

When we speak of the means of grace, we have in mind certain divinely appointed media by which God earnestly desires to, and actually does, offer, convey, and seal to sinners the merits secured for all men by His dear Son, our divine Mediator and Redeemer. That is the Lutheran definition of the means of grace. And concerning this definition there is no doubt or discrepancy among our Lutheran dogmaticians.

Dr. Walther's Book ''That The Ev. Luth. Church Is The True Visible Church Of God On Earth", Paul Schulz Jan 1939

Dr. Walther's Book ''That The Ev. Luth. Church Is The True Visible Church Of God On Earth", Paul Schulz

Concordia Theological Monthly

We are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and we glory in that fact. We rejoice that so many of us can meet to consider the welfare, the work, and the needs of this Church, and we are again mapping out our work in this our dear Church in order then to go back and to devote ourselves to the service of this Church which we love and to which we have dedicated our gifts, our labors, our possessions, yea, ourselves. And we do this because we are divinely convinced that our Church, together with all churches and church-bodies agreeing …

A Course In Lutheran Theology, Th. Engelder Dec 1938

A Course In Lutheran Theology, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

A second reason why a certain class of theologians charges Luther with teaching predestinarianism in De Servo Arbitrio is because he so emphatically and uncompromisingly teaches the monergism of grace. What these theologians-the synergists mislike more than the "harsh, predestinarian" sayings of Luther is the sola gratia back of them. Because they do not like the sola gratia, they mislike Luther's teaching on election.

The U.L.C.A. And The Doctrine Of Inspiration, W. Arndt Dec 1938

The U.L.C.A. And The Doctrine Of Inspiration, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

The reaction of the U. L. C. A. commissioners to this statement Is the following: "Our commission was unable to accept the statement of the Missouri Synod that the Scriptures are the infallible truth 'also in those parts which treat of historical, geographical, and other secular matters.' We find the words quoted not in accordance with our Lutheran Confessions (see Formula of Concord, Epitome, Introd.) nor with the Scriptures themselves.''

A Course In Lutheran Theology, Th. Engelder Nov 1938

A Course In Lutheran Theology, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

People are saying that De Servo Arbitrio is a dangerous book. We have heard them rail against it, first, because of Luther's teaching on the diacretio personarum, and, secondly, because of his statements concerning the Deus Absconditus. Usually the warning against De Servo Arbitrio takes this third form: It teaches Calviniatic determinism. If this charge is well founded, our book could not serve as a handbook for a course in Lutheran theology. It is therefore necessary to examine this sinister charge at some length.

Concordia Theological Monthly

The study of the humanities, as included in the course of study at our junior colleges, will do much toward establishing and developing an appreciation of the best products of the human mind through the centuries. The students are now being introduced to the masterpieces of ancient and modern literature, to the drama of the Greeks and Romans as well as that of modern times, to music from primitive times to our own day, to history from the standpoint of economics and the social relationships, to the effect of scientific research in our daily lives, and specifically in the fine …

What Was Written On The Two Tables Of The Covenant?, Th. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the year 1773 Goethe published a small pamphlet entitled Was stund auf den T.feln, des Bundes? After referring briefly to the establishment of the covenant narrated Ex. 24:1 ff., he continues: ''Then the Lord said unto Moses, Come up unto Me into the mount and be there; and I will give thee tables of stone and a law and commandments which I have written. Moses ascends to the Lord and is given the specifications for the Tabernacle. Finally we are told, And when the Lord had made an end of communing with him, He gave him the tables. What …

A Course In Lutheran Theology, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The third and final chapter of our study in De Servo Arbitrio deals with the question, What portions of this treatise must be discarded by good Lutherans? The Catholic and the thoroughgoing synergists feel bad over the entire book. They will never forgive Luther for his mighty vindication of the thesis that salvation is by grace alone. They have put the whole book on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. But there are others, who are not necessarily synergists, who would like to put certain portions of the book on the Index. They strenuously object to certain teachings or at least to …
