Editorial Comment-Reformation -Radicality, Gilbert A. Thiele

Concordia Theological Monthly

The task courageously undertaken by our Anglo-Lutheran brethren and sisters in Britain generally and in England specifically to reverse almost four centuries of British church history by establishing and extending the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England (ELCE) gives rise to the informative and aggressive piece with which this 1960 Reformation issue of our journal opens.

Luther And The English Reformation, E. George Pearce

Concordia Theological Monthly

Martin Luther never came to England. So far as I know, he was never invited. Melanchthon was-many times, sometimes by King Henry himself, very often by the Archbishop of Canterbury, but he always found reason to decline. Martin Luther never set foot on the realms of Henry VIII. What, then, is the connection between Luther and the English Reformation?

Melanchthon The Confessor, Arthur Carl Piepkorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

By definition, a confessor is "one who confesses." Specifically and strictly, a confessor is an ordained clergymen who hears confessions and is authorized to grant absolution. Or he is one who professes or gives heroic evidence of his faith in Christ, a saint who suffers persecution for his faith without undergoing martyrdom in the process.

Melanchthon As Educator And Humanist, Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Melanchthon, it seems, lacked a sense of humor. Tactful, careful, intent on weighing the pros and cons of each question, working all day even on Sunday, grubbing and grinding, this was Melanchthon according to Martin Luther, who had ample opportunity to observe his friend and colleague.

Editorial Comment, Charles L. Hill

Concordia Theological Monthly

In this issue we are continuing the observance of the 400th anniversary of the death of Philip Melanchthon. To the articles appearing in the August issue of our journal, we are adding two more which likewise were read as a commemorative symposium at Concordia Seminary on April 2-21 of this year. In calling these articles to the attention of our readers, we have chosen to let Melanchthon speak to us directly from bis Loci communes, selecting some of his 33 theses, which conclude his treatise on law and Gospel.

The International Student-Test Of A Living Church, William J. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

In a world in which the process of homogenization is being stepped up constantly, it is not surprising that we have reached the era of the International Man. Amid the strident cries of nationalism from newly independent nations of Asia and Africa and in the complacently preoccupied provincialism of America's Midwest it is easy to overlook him, but he is there.

Melanchthon The Churchman, Gilbert A. Thiele

Concordia Theological Monthly

In presenting Melanchthon as churchman we try to erect a little monument to him as a man of and for the church. To assist us in bringing some order into a large mass of fact and interpretation which has been accumulating over four centuries, we have thought it good to distribute our tribute over several areas.

Melanchthon The Theologian, Robert D. Preus

Concordia Theological Monthly

It would seem impossible that the theme "Melanchthon the Theologian," which is as comprehensive as it is indefinite, could be discussed satisfactorily in any brief presentation. The actual purpose and scope of this study is, however, narrower than the rather general theme might indicate. I propose to consider Melanchthon’s contributions to that discipline which is now known as dogmatics, to trace the impact of his systematic bent upon Lutheran theology, to delineate some of his main ideas on theology, and thus to assess him as a theologian.

Galatians 2:1-10 And The Acts Of The Apostles, Robert G. Hoerber

Concordia Theological Monthly

No doubt the chief crux in the comparison of Paul's Epistle to the Galatians with the Acts of the Apostles is the relating of Gal. 2:1-10 to the account of Acts. To equate Gal. 2:1-10 with Acts 15 raises such serious difficulties in the judgment of many scholars that they have proposed various explanations.

Luther the Expositor

Luther And Melanchthon, Erwin L. Lueker

Concordia Theological Monthly

Luther speaks directly to us in German language; Melanchthon in Latin. This may have some significance whether or not we agree with Schiller that the "soul of a people is in its language."

"Melanchthon, Christ's Witness" (Editorial Comment), George W. Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

This was the theme of a chapel address with which Prof. Henry W. Reimann introduced the observance at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, on April 19-21, of the quadricentennial of Melanchthon’s death. This issue presents three short papers read at this occasion; others are scheduled for later issues. The papers were not written for publication and are presented substantially as read, along with such documentation as had been added to the papers. Some of the leading thoughts of Professor Reimann's address may fittingly introduce this little symposium.

The Authority of Scripture

Editorial Comment, Lewis W. Spitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

Christ and His disciples lived and died during the reign of the Julian Caesars. The Savior was born in the reign of the first and crucified in that of the second. St. Peter and St. Paul died in the reign of the last. Accordingly, everything Christ and His disciples said about the higher powers involved one or the other of these rulers.

Attitudes Toward The Use Of Force And Violence In Thomas Muentzer, Menno Simons, And Martin Luther, Ralph L. Moellering

Concordia Theological Monthly

The treatise offered here seeks to extract and delineate, from three leading figures of the Reformation period, three basic attitudes toward the use of force and violence which have been, and continue to be, assumed by the followers of Jesus Christ. When Constantine first raised the Christian banner in front of his armies he was already tending in the direction of the first position exemplified most clearly in the career and theology of Thomas Muentzcr.

An Analysis Of Communion Hymns In The Lutheran Hymnal And Of Certain Communion Hymns Available From Outside Sources, Herbert Andrew Schulze

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this project is to analyze the Communion hymns of the present Lutheran Hymnal in terms of their eucharistic value and to investigate other Communion hymns of the Christian Church as to their usability in our future hymnal, especially their accent on the euchariatic nature of the Sacrament.

It is the writer's opinion that hymns 304 to 316 (''The Lord's Supper" section of TLH) are inadequate both in number and in quality for expressing our reawakened appreciation of the Lord's Supper as an opportunity joyously to receive the grace of God in Christ for the preservation and strengthening …
