Christ, The Hope Of Glory, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

'' And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever." 2 Tim. 4:18.

These words of St. Paul, even though individual in form and a personal confession of the Apostle, contain practically all the characteristics of the eschatological hope of the Church of Jesus Christ. For that hope is (1) a Christ-centered hope; it is (2) a hope that looks for a divine act of deliverance; it is (3) a hope for a total consummation; it is (4) a "practical" hope; and (5) it …

The History Of The Epiphany Season And The Propers Of The Feast Of Epiphany, John H. Tietjen

Concordia Theological Monthly

Like all the liturgy of the Church, the Epiphany season of the church year is the product of history and of centuries of growth and development. Just as it is impossible fully to understand the theology of an era without an understanding of the theology of the preceding eras, so it is impossible fully to understand the meaning of the Epiphany season in the present without an understanding of the past history of that season.

Textual-Critical Methods Of R.S.V. Revision Committee ( With Special Reference To The Pauline Epistles), R. George Krause

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is a well-known fact that the autographs of the writings constituting Scripture have been lost. The study of the copies of these autographs, made by a great variety of scribal bands in widely scattered areas of the ancient world, is involved and intriguing. Biblical scholarship has attempted to ascertain as closely as is humanly possible the form of those "God-breathed" autographs. This is a Herculean task, in addition to a painstaking and often tedious one, since the scribes who copied the inspired autographs or translations of the inspired originals allowed various alternative and sometimes widely divergent readings to enter …

The Faculty At Bethel On The "Demythologizing" Championed By Professor Dr. Bultmann, A. Adam

Concordia Theological Monthly

The intention is not to pass judgment on the theology of R. Bultmann in general. To do that, a far more detailed discussion would be required, for which we do not have the space here. In concerning ourselves specifically with demythologizing as understood by Bultmann, we had to curtail to some extent the study of the problem and thus simplify some of the implications.

Luther As a Student of Hebrew

Human Relations According To Ephesians, Martin H. Scharlemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

About ten years ago a high school girl from the South took first place in a radio contest with her answer to the question, "How should Hitler be punished for his crimes against humanity?" She won a prize for the answer: "He ought to be made to wear a black face and to live in a community where racial discrimination is practiced." This girl had observed, if not experienced, the horrors of prejudice, of man's most cruel inhumanity to man. It is something of a tragic commentary on human affairs that the worst punishment this student could imagine had to …

Training The Parish For Christian Citizenship, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Citizenship is in the midstream of American thought. The Communist menace bids man review the foundations of government. Party politics utilizes radio and television in addition to earlier tools of press and propaganda. The great social problems of our time - public and social welfare, the racial question, the conflicts of capital and labor, control of economics-are all related to government and citizenship. Hence the questions concerning the Church's place in this program are more insistent than ever. More specifically: What shall the parish do to train its people for citizenship?

Principles Of Counseling, Henry L. Lieske

Concordia Theological Monthly

Pastoral counseling is currently receiving much greater emphasis in the seminary curriculum than was the case a decade or two ago. This does not mean that effective pastoral counseling has been carried on only recently. Throughout the ages the "cure," or care, of souls has been a matter of vital concern to the Church and its pastors.

Various Methods Of Teaching The Bible Class, M. L. Koehneke

The purpose of our academic voyage is to sail the seas of teaching methods, drop anchor now and then to sound the depths of various methods, and do a little fishing around for your ideas on "how to teach the Bible Class."

The Mature Christian, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Authorized Version does not use the term "mature." But the idea is completely Biblical. It assumes that a Christian, as a Christian, is not a statistical, either-or being, but that he is the product of a birth, a growth, and an expanding life. To speak of a Christian as mature suggests that he has arrived at the peak of that growth, that he has arrived at the climax of the development of his faith and his life with God.

The Incarnation And The Lord's Supper In Luther, Norman Nagel

Concordia Theological Monthly

The ways of God to men are one. Despite the paradox of Law and Gospel, despite His myriad providence, despite our wondering and paltry understanding, we may yet discern a unity in the way in which the holy God deals with us. It is the way of His grace, of which Christ is the archetype and the Lord's Supper the consequent and continuing form.

It will be the attempt of this paper to set forth some of the aspects of the parallel between God's dealing with us in Christ and Christ's dealing with us in His Supper as grasped and …

The Formal And Material Principles Of Lutheran Confessional Theology, F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The source of doctrine, or the formal principle, of Lutheran theology is sola Scriptura, the Scriptures alone. It does seem strange that with its avowed emphasis on the sole authority of the Scriptures the Lutheran Church nowhere has a specific article setting forth its attitude toward the Holy Scriptures. By contrast the early Reformed Confessions have an elaborate statement concerning the place and the scope of Scriptures, including even a list of all the books which are considered canonical. The Lutheran Confessions have no specific article dealing with the Holy Scriptures for three reasons.

The Almah Translation In Isaiah 7:14, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The almah translation in Is. 7:14 is not merely a question of Hebrew philology; it also has very important theological implications. To arrive at a satisfactory interpretation of this passage, it is necessary not only to define the term almah, but also to be very clear in regard to the nature and scope of Hebrew prophecy. The exegete who regards the Hebrew prophet the merely as an interpreter of history, as a seer who reads a prediction of the future in the events of the present and the past, will translate almah in one way. The exegete, on the other …

The Pastoral Care Of Neurotis, C. Adam

Concordia Theological Monthly

Neurosis is one of the most common forms of behavior abnormality. The easy explanation which placed the blame on heredity is losing ground. Recent studies show that environmental strains and pressures as well as unfavorable childhood experiences are receiving greater emphasis as causative factors. Most people are unaware of the nature of their conflict. They only know the symptoms: frustration, unhappiness, obsessions, strange compulsions, fears that they cannot account for, ailments that seem to have no physical basis. In most cases these emotional difficulties do not stop people from doing their work nor from carrying on their social activities. Yet …

Some Word Studies In The Apology, Jaroslav Pelikan

Concordia Theological Monthly

"When I use a word," said Humpty-Dumpty in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less." In the history of Christian theology the tendency to do this has become almost an occupational disease, often making it difficult to understand theologians of the present and almost impossible to understand theologians of the past. Nor does this apply only to thinkers like Berdyaev, who found it necessary to coin his vocabulary as he went along, or to groups like the Gnostics, who sometimes seem deliberately to have chosen nonsense syllables to …
