The Role Of The Self In Counseling And Its Application To Pastoral Counseling, David Ludwig Oct 1968

The Role Of The Self In Counseling And Its Application To Pastoral Counseling, David Ludwig

Concordia Theological Monthly

Recent experimentation has shown that what a person thinks of himself, that is, his self-concept, is very important in his ability to adjust to life's problems. This article will examine the importance which the self-concept plays in counseling and the way in which pastoral counseling will deal with this self-concept. Since the aim of secular counseling (and pastoral counseling to a large extent) is to help the individual adjust to his marital and other situational difficulties, this article will show that the counselor must be concerned with the typical low self-feelings of his counselee and should try to adopt a …


Hermeneutic(S) ( Reading Programs In Theology), Martin H. Scharlemann Oct 1968

Hermeneutic(S) ( Reading Programs In Theology), Martin H. Scharlemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The ancient Greeks called him Hermes. In their view of things he had the job of communicating what the gods on Olympus might want men to know and what human beings, in turn, hoped to bring to the attention of their several divinities. His name therefore went into the making of the word "hermeneutics," which was first used to designate the art of getting one's message across to others and only later began to be applied to the formal study of the rules and principles governing the task of interpretation.


The Future Of Theological Education, Samuel I. Goltermann Oct 1968

The Future Of Theological Education, Samuel I. Goltermann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Theological education has become one of the more controversial issues in today's ecclesiastical world. Almost everyone associated with the establishment has some opinions on how to improve it.


St. Paul's Ideology For The Urbanized Roman Empire, Saul Levin Oct 1968

St. Paul's Ideology For The Urbanized Roman Empire, Saul Levin

Concordia Theological Monthly

No one is likely to equal the sensation which Gibbon produced with the 15th and 16th chapters of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, where he viewed the rise of Christianity from the perspective of secular history. While he adhered on the surface to a pious, naive, and conventional veneration of the early church, at the same time he pierced the aura of holiness and taught his readers-in the name of philosophy-to understand religious movements realistically. It is unnecessary for us now to review the human causes which an 18th-century historian found for the success of Christianity.


The Shape Of Hope: Jeremiah's Book Of Consolation, Theodore M. Ludwig Sep 1968

The Shape Of Hope: Jeremiah's Book Of Consolation, Theodore M. Ludwig

Concordia Theological Monthly

The question of the presence or absence of eschatological ideas in the prophetic writings has been debated for years, with scholars defending both positions. The question is problematic because of the difficulty of defining "eschatology" in a way that will do justice to the prophetic material. If understood strictly as a cosmic cataclysm, as a suprahistorical return to chaos followed by cosmogony, or even as the end of the present order and the beginning of a radically different order, eschatology cannot be said to have a central place in the utterances of the preexilic and exilic prophets.


The Theological Significance Of The Dead Sea Scrolls, Joachim Jeremias, David Zersen (Translator) Sep 1968

The Theological Significance Of The Dead Sea Scrolls, Joachim Jeremias, David Zersen (Translator)

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the shepherd boy Muhammad ed-Deeb ("The Wolf”) of the half-nomadic tribe Ta'amire threw a stone into a cave to pass the time, it clattered so strangely that he was convinced an evil djin was after him. He ran away in panic-stricken terror, never suspecting that his name would go down in the history of scholarship. He had discovered Cave 1 at Qumran on the northwest coast of the Dead Sea. On the next day of that summer -presumably it was 1947 - he ventured to climb into the cave with his pluckier cousin. They found eight clay jars which …

In Hosea 12:3-4 the prophet interprets Jacob's wrestling bout at Peniel (Gen. 32:24.ff.) as a wrestling with God's mal'akh: God's "angel" or "messenger." The history of Christian exegesis contains its own record of a wrestling bout: the wrestling of Christian interpreters with God's Old Testament messengers who recorded the Scriptures of the Old Covenant.

Consolation In 2 Cor. 5:1-10, Frederick W. Danker Sep 1968

Consolation In 2 Cor. 5:1-10, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

Commentators, lexicographers, and grammarians, almost by consensus, render έφ’ ᾠ in 2 Cor. 5:4 in a causal sense, with such variations as "because," "inasmuch as," "in view of the fact that." Exceptional is Margaret Thrall's rendering "on condition that." She paraphrases: "For indeed, we who exist in the physical body groan with weariness. (But, for the Christian, this is a legitimate attitude to our physical existence only on condition that we do not want to be divested of somatic existence altogether, but rather to be further incorporated in the Body of Christ.)" The paraphrase is obscure, but the reminder that …


The Day Of The Lord, Ralph W. Klein Sep 1968

The Day Of The Lord, Ralph W. Klein

Concordia Theological Monthly

What does it mean for Yahweh to have a day? Sigmund Mowinckel saw it as a day of manifestation or epiphany at the New Year's festival, including the celebration of Yahweh's kingship and His saving acts for His people. The eschatological day of Yahweh is only the final and supreme day of Yahweh's enthronement, entirely secondary to His cult day.


The Message Of The Deuteronomic Historian, Carl Graesser Jr. Sep 1968

The Message Of The Deuteronomic Historian, Carl Graesser Jr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

In this study we propose to determine the main outlines of the message which the author(s) of the books of Joshua through Kings intended to speak to the contemporary Israelite people. Following a few introductory comments, the major structural elements utilized by the sacred historian (s) to construct this monumental work will be described. These elements will then be studied for the keys they contain to understanding the message of these books.


A Topical Sermon, Andrew Weyermann Sep 1968

A Topical Sermon, Andrew Weyermann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The sermon in this issue calls attention to the possibility of dealing with very specific and even rather difficult subjects from the pulpit. It is not necessary for sermons to restrict themselves to generalities, and it is possible for preachers to build on, rather than continually repeat, the “foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God." (Heb. 6:1)

The Church Hymn And Its Way Into Music, William Mudde Jul 1968

The Church Hymn And Its Way Into Music, William Mudde

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the thunderstorm of the Reformation appeared on the heaven of the life of the church, it looked as if it would destroy the harvest of European music. With its protest against the Mass as an opus operatum, the Reformation also opposed the artificial music that accompanied the Mass. As formulated in the Motu Proprio of Pius X, the music shrouded the Mass in beautiful garments of sanctity and Roman Catholic universality. What substitute did the Reformation offer? Surely not something that one could actually call "art," but rather sacred folksong. Tolerated only as an evil in the Roman Catholic …

Religious Music Among The Jews, Walter E. Buszin Jul 1968

Religious Music Among The Jews, Walter E. Buszin

Concordia Theological Monthly

"Where were you ... when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" With these words God challenged Job, who is referred to at times as the patron saint of musicians. God's words to Job serve to remind the Old Testament reader that already earlier, in prehistoric times, worship and song had been used together to glorify and extol the Creator. Ancient peoples, including Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and a veritable host of early generations of mankind, recognized that the primary function of music is to honor and worship the Deity. Africans, Asiatics, Mongolians, Europeans, …

Lodge Practice Within The Missouri Synod, John W. Constable Jul 1968

Lodge Practice Within The Missouri Synod, John W. Constable

Concordia Theological Monthly

The history of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod reveals that the Synod grappled with the problem of lodges almost from its beginning. In the present essay the author proposes to undertake a chronological survey of the Synod's viewpoints reflected in its official meetings and publications, in books, tracts and conference essays, and so forth. The topic of doctrinal opposition to lodges will not be discussed in any detail since American Lutheranism is all but unanimous on this point. Some attention will be paid to other Lutheran denominations and to possible cultural and economic influence on the lodge practice of the Synod.


Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608): Theologian, Mystic, Hymn Writer, Polemicist, And Missiologist: A Biobibliographical Survey, Arthur Carl Piepkorn Jul 1968

Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608): Theologian, Mystic, Hymn Writer, Polemicist, And Missiologist: A Biobibliographical Survey, Arthur Carl Piepkorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

During Philipp Nicolai's lifetime the company of ministers in the city of Zurich referred to him as "this miserable person who goes thrashing around and biting like another wild boar, altogether without reason or Christian modesty." Others of his foes called him a lunatic who ought to be chained to a wall, and could not resist the temptation of twisting his surname Nicolai into "Nicolaitan." His admirers, on the other hand, saw in him "a second Chrysostom."


Development Of Worship Skills, George W. Hoyer Jul 1968

Development Of Worship Skills, George W. Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

A review of bibliographic material in the areas of liturgy and worship at once requires both a definition of terms and a selection of accents. A choice in the direction of liturgiology might appear to be more academically profound; but an accent on worship would probably be more theologically sound and probably more practical for most.


The Theology Of Carl F. H. Henry, Richard Warneck Jun 1968

The Theology Of Carl F. H. Henry, Richard Warneck

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The issues raised by these and related questions have held the attention of serious theologians for several decades. Carl Henry is vigorously interested in the treatment of special revelation by various schools of contemporary theology, and the following chapter will represent his evaluation of the same. At this juncture, our endeavor is to state precisely Henry's theology of the Scriptures and special revelation. A clear understanding of Henry's position in this regard will be necessary for a fair appraisal of his major concerns as he addresses them to modern man in behalf of the Christian faith.


Those "Divorce And Remarriage" Passages, Harry G. Coiner Jun 1968

Those "Divorce And Remarriage" Passages, Harry G. Coiner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The statements of Jesus on marriage and divorce were spoken within the context of (a) the particular milieu of His time and (b) His radical claims on those who would be His disciples. This is evident both in the context of His statements and in the particular wording of them.

Sexuality, Marriage, And Divorce In 1 Corinthians 6:12-7:16, Walter J. Bartling Jun 1968

Sexuality, Marriage, And Divorce In 1 Corinthians 6:12-7:16, Walter J. Bartling

Concordia Theological Monthly

No other social institution can begin to compete with marriage as a subject of ethical concern and reflection on all levels and in all periods of Biblical thought (for example, the opening chapters of Genesis, specific regulatory injunctions in the Torah, the ethical message of the prophets, wisdom literature - both canonical and extracanonical, the Sermon on the Mount, the Tables of Duties in Paul and Peter). Equally important for a study of marriage are the varying patterns of marital and familial life reflected in passing references and allusions in historical accounts (for example, the patriarchal family history, the chronicles …
