During recent years the Christian church has been living with a collective sense of guilt which has been sapping its spiritual vitality. Voices are raised in the church which assume full responsibility for the plight of modern man and which castigate the church because it has not been "relevant." The racial crisis, the rising rate of alcoholism, declining standards of public and private morality, deterioration of family life-for these and a thousand other problems the church has been urged to accept at least partial responsibility. The church has frequently forgotten to offer the message of God's forgiveness to itself. The …

The Law-Gospel Tension In Jeremiah, Theodore M. Ludwig

Concordia Theological Monthly

The relationship between judgment and grace is a basic question in Biblical interpretation. God's fierce judgment and His unconditional grace stand side by side in the Biblical testimony, and on unresolved tension exists between these two aspects of God's self-disclosure. The tendency among Bible scholars today is to try to resolve this tension by building a "bridge" between judgment and grace, by some theological interpretation which demonstrates that God's judgment on His people leads directly to their salvation. In the study of the Book of Jeremiah the tension is commonly resolved by the idea of God's judgment as a disciplinary …

Walther And Missions, Herman Koppelmann

Ebooks

Yes, Walther was interested in missions and was actively engaged in them. He selected men who were to go out as missionaries to various sections of our country and wanted the members of the Synod to support this endeavor with gifts and prayers. When he printed his first mission sermon in Der.Lutheraner he stated in a footnote that he did not feel the sermon worthy of being distributed more widely, but because many who had heard it urged that ft would further the cause of missions, he did not want to withhold it if it would help this cause even …

The Mission Of The Churches To Higher Education, Wayne Saffen

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is perhaps significant that we consider the churches as having a mission to the university and college. This is an admission that on the secular campus the churches are outside looking in. They do not occupy the seat of power or even possess the persuasive ability to determine educational aims, philosophy, curriculum.

Calvin And Anabaptism, Karl H. Wyneken

Concordia Theological Monthly

Like most of the Reformers, John Calvin (1509--64) loosely applied the terms "Anabaptist," "fanatic," and similar epithets to a number of diverse groups within what is commonly known as the radical, or nonmagisterial, Reformation. In the early years of Calvin's career, for example, an "Anabaptist" (or "Catabaptist") could have been one of the so-called psychopannychists - French Protestants who allegedly denied the traditional doctrine of the state of the soul after death.

Mythical Criticism- An Evaluation Of Rudolf Bultmann, Robert Gutheil

Master of Divinity Thesis

If Bultmann's own scholarly output has been prodigious, the theological dialogue which he has engendered has been overwhelming. A paper of this scope could not begin to assimilate all of the relevant material. It will be our specific purpose in the next few pages to outline the principle features of Bultmann's mythical criticism--his call for demythologization and his existential interpretation of the kerygma. Also, we shall briefly investigate the directions in which Bultmann's thought has been developed by his leading followers. We shall conclude with some general observations concerning the function of myth in literature and the validity of mythical …

Its Graduates Speak; The Seminary Listens, Ronald L. Johnstone

Concordia Theological Monthly

How well does Concordia Seminary train its students for subsequent service in the church? This is the central question being asked continually by Concordia Seminary of itself; this is also the question of a study just completed by the Concordia Seminary Research Center. The following pages report in part the results of this study of training effectiveness.

The Student Association-An Evaluation, John Gienapp

Concordia Theological Monthly

"How does it feel to be top flea on a dead dog?" The wry question addressed to a student association president dramatizes a reality in the life of the association. That reality is the need for reevaluation. It is axiomatic that one thing always present at a seminary is change.

The Mission Of Concordia Seminary, Alfred O. Fuerbringer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Perhaps the title needs a word of explanation. We do not ordinarily think of "mission" in connection with long-established educational institutions unless, perhaps, they are located in foreign lands and are part of a "mission" related to a sending church. In fact, all too often "education," even ministerial and missionary training, has been viewed critically as a rival of "missions" for the church’s concern, interest, and dollar.

Some Directives For The Education Of A More Excellent Ministry, Arthur C. Repp

Concordia Theological Monthly

The continuing reevaluation which theological seminaries have been making of themselves, coupled with a growing criticism of the seminaries' products on the part of many in the church, has produced a lively ferment in the current discussion of ministerial education. Some outstanding theological books and articles of late have addressed themselves to this subject, all of them showing a real concern for finding a solution.

The Fieldwork Program At Concordia Seminary, Kenneth H. Breimeier

Concordia Theological Monthly

In a sense, there has always been fieldwork at Concordia Seminary. Ever since the beginning of the school, students have been preaching, teaching, and generally exercising the skills of the pastoral ministry. In another sense, the beginning of the fieldwork program might be reckoned from the inauguration of the required year of vicarage, or internship. In the early 1930s Synod asked the class that would have returned for its senior year to stay out for one year to work in the parish.

The School For Graduate Studies, Carl S. Meyer

The history and changing philosophies of what is now known as the School for Graduate Studies illustrates in capsule form the changes and struggles which the seminary itself has experienced during the past years.

A Critique Of Theological Education In The Light Of Changing American Culture, David S. Schuller

Concordia Theological Monthly

The more critical the situation faced by a ministry, the more intense has been its criticism of conventional theological education. Where the patterns of cultural change have been least severe, the conventional shape of ministerial training has been most successful. Turning to the areas of greatest change we find the most demanding tests that can be addressed to contemporary theological education. Moreover, such areas should prove most predictive of the types of change we can look for in the future.

Gifts From The Lord Of The Church, Leonhard C. Wuerffel

Concordia Theological Monthly

After a little more than 16 years of service as the dean of students at a seminary, we have been asked to set forth some observations concerning the students served during this period of time. First of all, there is something frightening about such a request. To have been intimately associated with more than 2,000 young men, who today are ministers of the Gospel and are serving their Lord and His people somewhere in the world, is unquestionably a great privilege and a humbling experience.

Oscar Cullmann's Concept Of Time, John Fuchs

Master of Divinity Thesis

In the foreword to the second edition of his book Christ and Time, Oscar Cullmann admits that this work is not intended to answer the questions raised by systematic theology. He goes on, to claim that the giving of such answers is not the real task of a New Testament scholar like himself, nor, in his opinion, should it be. In his own words: Is it not the most valuable service that the New Testament scholar can render to the systematic theologian that he permits the questions that are not solved in the New Testament itself to stand as questions? …

The Eastern Orthodox Doctrine Of Grace With A Lutheran Perspective, James Childs

Master of Divinity Thesis

The intention of this study is twofold: In the first place, we are attempting to isolate the meaning of "grace” in the Eastern Orthodox Church - if indeed it can be stated in comprehensive form. In the second place, we are attempting to view the Eastern doctrine of grace in a Lutheran perspective. The primary purpose rests in the first phase, the investigation of the Eastern teaching of grace. This purpose is probably best-defined in terms of the writer’s personal enlightenment on the subject rather than in terms of a contribution of new findings. The subsidiary purpose, then, is in …

The Congregation: Place Of God's Presence, Martin H. Scharlemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Jerusalem lay in ruins. Its temple had been destroyed. In distant Babylon God’s people hung up their harps and sat down to weep. Where was God now? To be sure, He might be the Lord of the universe; but what was the point of this if His people were left to languish in exile? He had been present for them in the temple on Mount Zion; where could His people now seek His face?
