Reformed Tendencies In Certain American Lutheran Churches, Th Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The subject is one that would properly call for an extended treatise. Reserving a more detailed discussion for a later date, the writer here would submit in the form of extracts from the official organs of several Lutheran bodies evidence of a strong Reformed leaven now working in the Synods responsible for these periodicals.

The Active Obedience Of Christ, Th Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Rom. 5, 18. 19 is a second passage which proves that the active obedience of Christ is on integral part of His vicarious satisfaction. The question here to be decided is whether the "righteousness" of Christ, His "obedience," are terms describing that one righteous act, that one set of obedience by which Christ submitted to death according to the will of God, or whether they describe His entire obedience, His righteous life in general, His universal compliance with the Law. They would have to bear the former meaning if the proposition is true that salvation was accomplished exclusively by the …

Pastoral Visits, F C. Streufert

Concordia Theological Monthly

One of the saddest duties of o pastor is to minister to the spiritual needs of such of his members as are confined in penal institutions. We all agree that these unfortunates are in particular need of our spiritual ministrations. Such visits afford us on opportunity to speak not only of sin and its fearful consequences, but also of God's unending love and of Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. The prisoner behind the bars has had many hours, in many instances oven days and years, for reflection. Quite frequently his former friends and even the relatives have severed all connections …

The Active Obedience Of Christ, Th Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The vicarious satisfaction rendered by Christ includes, besides His suffering and death, His fulfilment of the divine Law given to man in place of man (loco hominum). In other words, in order to satisfy the divine justice, Christ not only bore the penalty of man's disobedience of the Law, but also rendered in His holy life that obedience to the Law which man is obligated to render, but does not render (active obedience of Christ, obedientia. Christi activa). As our guilt and punishment was imputed to Christ, so also our obligation to keep God's Law , Gal. 8, 13; 4, …

How Peter Became Pope, Wm Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the tenth century camo "the rule of the prostitutes"-Theodora and her daughters, Theodora and Marozia. As ambitious as they were beautiful, they obtained the greatest influence in Rome by a prodigal prostitution of their charms. The supreme power in Rome was for a while practically in the hands of these licentious women. "Rome," says a contemporary chronicler, "fell under the yoke of women. As we read in the prophet: 'The effeminate shall rule over them,' " Is. 3, 4.

Clerical Vestments In The Lutheran Church, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Church has a wonderful liturgical heritage. Because it is the true Church of the Reformation, it did not resort to unmotivated iconoclasm, preferring, instead, to reform conditions, customs, and usages, cleansing them from additional and incidental impure features and thus preserving the historical and liturgical continuity which is bound to have at least a confessional value.

The Lutheran churches of this country have during the last decades remembered this liturgical heritage. There has been a decided effort, on the part of many congregations and even of entire Lutheran bodies, to return to the liturgical usages of the period …

Pastoral Visits, F C. Streufert

Concordia Theological Monthly

We all agree that our visits of patients in hospitals are frequently not so productive as we desire, either because other patients make such, visits difficult or, at times, because of expected ridicule on the part of other patients or visitors, we are too timid in the confession or profession of our faith. But we must not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and therefore should most cheerfully and boldly perform our pastoral duty. Such bold presentation of sacred truths of sin and grace, of admonition and of comfort, will strengthen the patient we ore visiting and will …

Does The Bible Teach That Only Christians Of The Apostolic Age Would Possess Miraculous Powers?, W Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

The question is frequently asked, Are there Scripture-passages by means of which we can prove that the extraordinary gifts possessed by Christians in apostolic times, like those of healing, prophesying, etc., were intended for, and given to, the Church of early New Testament times only? The reply has to be, There are no such Scripture-passages. Our Lord at various times conferred upon His disciples the power to do miraculous works. The beat-known occasion is one of the meetings which He held with His disciples prior to His ascension. According to Mark He said at that time: "And these signs shall …

Schools Of The Prophets In Old Testament Times, A W. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Let us note that the character of the prophetic office differed distinctly from that of the priestly, though at times combined in one person. It was not, like the priestly, confined to one tribe; however, it did not, in its personnel, extend beyond the covenant people. Balaam might be designated an exception, but he was an enigma as to character. A prophet was not to establish his prophetic office by signs and wonders, for even false prophets might perform these, Deut.13, 1-15, but by his adherence to the Law and testimony of Jehovah.

The Superman, C W. Faye

Concordia Theological Monthly

This is a revision, amplification, and bringing up to date of an oration delivered and published a number of years ago. I should like to add that I have sometimes felt in preparing this paper that what Bergson, for instance, has been driving at has eluded me. I have tried to present fairly and justly the doctrines of the thinkers mentioned in this paper. Even If I have failed to discover what they wished to teach, I feel pretty confident of having found out what the bulk of their followers think they teach. For practical purposes that is sufficient; for …

The Pastor At The Bedside Of The Backslider, F C. Streufert

Concordia Theological Monthly

How difficult it is to perform our duty at the bedsides of such as have turned away from their Savior! It is often difficult to approach them, even if no personal matter between patient and pastor has caused the former to forsake God and His Word. Permit me to present three cases from my own pastoral experience together with my treatment of them.

Sermon Study On Acts 16, 16-32, O W. Wismar

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every preacher is under a debt of lasting gratitude to the patient plodders who have selected the various series of pericopes. The expository preacher especially is happy and contented in mind when he has a preselected portion of Holy Writ before him to be treated homiletically; for he is convinced that " the text, the text, is the thing wherein he'll find the message of his King." With this conviction, mingled perhaps with a slight misgiving that the present text is somewhat long, we begin our labor in the Word by reading the seventeen verses in the Authorized Version.
