We Love Because He Loved Us First (1 John 4:7-21), Victor Bartling Dec 1952

We Love Because He Loved Us First (1 John 4:7-21), Victor Bartling

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our design in this paper is to present a practical exposition of a Scripture passage in which we who work in the Church hear God speaking to us about that which must live in our hearts if our plans and programs, our skills and techniques, our studies and preaching and teaching, are to enjoy God's approval and blessing.


Keep Yourselves In The Love Of God, William J. Hassold Dec 1952

Keep Yourselves In The Love Of God, William J. Hassold

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Letter of Jude is one of the most polemical portions of the New Testament. The purpose of Jude, the brother of the Lord, in writing this letter was to appeal to his readers "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (v.3).


The Grace Of God In The Old Testament, Walter R. Roehrs Dec 1952

The Grace Of God In The Old Testament, Walter R. Roehrs

Concordia Theological Monthly

The above topic asserts that the Old Testament does not only proclaim a God of wrath, but also makes known a gracious God. Man exists and can endure God's presence only because God's wrath does not annihilate him.

Hymns For Thomasius Epistles, Adalbert Kretzmann Nov 1952

Hymns For Thomasius Epistles, Adalbert Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Thomasius Epistles make a most interesting series to supplement the old Hieronymic series. The following "Hymns and Sermon Texts" was prepared for the use of the teachers, choirmasters, and organists at the Church of St. Luke in Chicago. The teachers are in this way enabled to practice the hymns and do preliminary and introductory work on the sermon text in the classrooms. Choirmasters can match their music with the sermon texts and hymns. The organist has an opportunity to select preludes, voluntaries, postludes, etc., in the most efficient and proper manner. The entire program worked out in this way …


Lutheranism In India, Herbert M. Zorn Nov 1952

Lutheranism In India, Herbert M. Zorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

Lutherans in India have become a considerable factor among Christians. The first Protestant missionaries, Ziegenbalg and Pluetschau, were Lutherans. Lutheran missionaries had a strong influence in the early work of some of the non-Lutheran missions in South India. They can be found in the southern tip near Nagercoil, north and east of Calcutta near the Burma border, in central India. and even in Pakistan. There are Lutherans who speak Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Santali, Briya and several other languages and dialects. There are missions with only a little over two hundred members, and missions which have been replaced almost completely …


In Memoriam Joh. Albrecht Bengel, Jaroslav Pelikan Nov 1952

In Memoriam Joh. Albrecht Bengel, Jaroslav Pelikan

Concordia Theological Monthly

November 2, 1952, is the two-hundredth anniversary of the death of Johann Albrecht Bengel, a leading figure in the history of Lutheran theology. He has exerted an influence over subsequent Biblical scholarship comparable to that of Luther and Flacius in the sixteenth century, the Buxtorfs in the seventeenth, von Hofmann in the nineteenth, and Schlatter in the twentieth. Until a generation or two ago his Gnomon Novi Testamenti was a commonplace in the libraries of the evangelical clergy; and some of the works which have come to replace it, like Dean Alford's commentary and the Expositors Greek Testament, are expansions …


The Pastor After The Heart Of God, C. August Hardt Nov 1952

The Pastor After The Heart Of God, C. August Hardt

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the first of his Pastoral Letters (1 Tim. 3:1) Paul calls the office of a bishop (ἐπιοχοπή) a good work, χαλὸν ε̈ογον. That is a brief but beautiful and most significant characterization of the Christian ministry.

Sola Gratia, J. W. Behnken Oct 1952

Sola Gratia, J. W. Behnken

Concordia Theological Monthly

To speak on the very important topic "Sola Gratia” within a period of fifteen minutes, and to do this within the framework of the highly significant general theme: "The Gospel establishes and maintains our Lutheran Church," is an assignment to which I cannot even remotely do justice. At best I can refer only to a few major points. We are concerned here with the chief principle of the Reformation. Dr. Luther declared: "The word of grace and forgiveness of sin teaches us that we are justified and saved solely through Christ, without our merit; this is the principal article from …


Three Aspects Of The Way Of Christ And The Church, Martin H. Franzmann Oct 1952

Three Aspects Of The Way Of Christ And The Church, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In 1 Cor. 1:9 St. Paul characterizes the members of the Church as those who have been called by God into fellowship (communion) with His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. This fellowship is a total participation in the whole Christ, a participation which takes a peculiarly vivid and experiential form in Holy Communion (1 Cor.10:16 ff.).


Sin As The Cause Of God's Wrath, Walter Nagel Oct 1952

Sin As The Cause Of God's Wrath, Walter Nagel

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every system of Christian doctrine and dogma treats the subjects of man's sin and its opposing element, God's wrath, as being in some way basic to an understanding of the Christian life. Both matters, however, receive their full due only in the theology of Luther and in our Confessions.


A Look At Current Biblical Cosmologies, C. Gaenssle Oct 1952

A Look At Current Biblical Cosmologies, C. Gaenssle

Concordia Theological Monthly

The writer has long felt that the cosmological schemes found in standard Bible dictionaries, in many modern commentaries, and elsewhere (including even Webster's International. s. v. firmament) call imperatively for a little closer scrutiny. Indeed they are marked by some features so unnatural, in part so utterly fantastic that to anyone who is detached and uncommitted in his thinking they appear more like the product of wild and arbitrary fancy than of calm and objective inquiry.

Give Attendance To Reading, Richard R. Caemmerer Sep 1952

Give Attendance To Reading, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

"Give attendance to reading," St. Paul exhorted Timothy. This exhortation has sometimes been applied to contemporary ministers as follows: Let them keep up their private studies, their reading of the Bible and of the many other materials which enrich their mind and ministry. That is a useful and necessary exhortation. The original intention of 1 Tim. 4:13, however, is simpler. St. Paul tells Timothy that he is to minister faithfully and vigorously to his congregation till St. Paul himself will come. This ministry means bringing the Word of God to people. That he is to do through three routes: reading …


The New Testament Concept Of Fellowship, F. E. Mayer Sep 1952

The New Testament Concept Of Fellowship, F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

This article will suggest three basic principles for a discussion of the term χοινωνία as employed in the New Testament. In view of the significance of this term in the present movement toward Lutheran Union and even World Ecumenicity, the Faculty of Concordia Seminary at St. Louis, Mo., devoted several hours to a discussion of the term on the basis of guidelines prepared by a committee. The material offered in this article is to a very large extent the author's attempt to recapture the salient points of the faculty's discussion. The article will discuss, first, the constancy of Biblical terminology …

Natural Law And The New Testament, Robert Hoeferkamp

Concordia Theological Monthly

This paper will attempt to investigate elements of Natural Law which are generally alleged to appear in the New Testament. Thus a historical discussion of Natural Law and the indication of the importance of the topic for current theological discussion are in order.

Truth In A Changing World, Leroy C. Rincker Aug 1952

Truth In A Changing World, Leroy C. Rincker

Concordia Theological Monthly

When I survey the beauties of Concordia Seminary and attempt to evaluate its current contributions to the Church, I am impressed with evidences of great changes that have marked the progress of this school during the past thirty years. Its larger enrollment and increasing facilities, its graduate school and mission department, its revised curriculum and wider program, all are evidences of an awareness of opportunities to enter the many doors that are opening to our Church today.
