Galatians-A Declaration Of Christian Liberty, William F. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

For our orientation it will be advisable briefly to survey the passages in which the word "freedom" or "free" occurs. It is early in the Epistle that Paul first touches on this topic (2:3-5). In the historical sketch of his career he relates what happened when he and Barnabas, accompanied by Titus, went to Jerusalem.

Faith With Works, Frederic W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

The fact that Christianity's message has spread far and wide may lead to the easy assumption that knowledge equals understanding and that in place of doctrinal emphases the practical aspects demand primary consideration. It is the purpose of this paper to show that Christianity cannot be functional unless its message is presented with a constant doctrinal emphasis and that if this doctrine is faithfully presented, the message will be functional. As in the preceding paper, "Faith Without Works," St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians will provide the basic material for the subject "Faith with Works."

Rauschenbusch In Retrospect, R. L. Moellering

Concordia Theological Monthly

On the whole, it appears that American Lutheranism was oblivious to the writings of Walter Rauschenbusch. An examination of Lehre und Wehre, the theological journal of the Missouri Synod during the years of his ascendancy, failed to uncover a single reference to the "prophet of the Social Gospel." When he was mentioned in Lutheran circles, he was usually stigmatized as the villain of American Protestantism. His name was associated with all the ignominy heaped on the social gospel. He became the favorite "whipping boy" for those denouncing the trend toward Modernism. Perhaps he was not given a fair hearing. At …

A Study Of Hebrews 6:4-8, Herbert H. Hohenstein

Concordia Theological Monthly

The close relationship between "tasting the good Word of God" and "the powers of the age to come" is quite evident. The reason is, perhaps, as Davidson maintains, that the consummate blessings of these powers lie in the future. Therefore, by necessity, they must be "combined with the good word of promise." That is undoubtedly true. In addition, one might say that this "good word of promise" is itself that very power by which God establishes communion with men and thereby projects the blessings of that which is to come into that which now is. Cf. Rom. 1:16.

Faith Without Works, Frederic W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

Demands for a creative outlet in an age of standardized production have been responsible for a rash of "do-it-yourself" hobby crafts. Such self-reliance displays itself also in the religious area. St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians amply testifies, however, that the "do-it-yourself" cult is not a modern development.

A Study Of The Temple In The Gospel Of John, Harold E. Remus

Bachelor of Divinity

This study of the Temple in the Gospel of John indicates the fulfillment of the Old Testament Temple and its cultus in Jesus Christ.

The Divine Love Motif In Hosea And Jeremiah, Norman Charles Habel

The Church Resists The Nazis, G J. Gerike

Bachelor of Divinity

It shall be the burden of this paper to try to paint a. fair1y accurate picture of the Church conditions under the Nazis, and to show that the Church did resist the Nazis, but perhaps the resistance was not as virile as it might have been. Furthermore, we are limiting the scope of this paper to the answering of the above posed questions in their relationship to the Protestant Church, more particularly the Lutheran State Church.

The Biblical Teaching Of The Visio Dei- A General Overview Of Its Scope And Its Implications For The Christian, Richard William Baldes

Bachelor of Divinity

While Greek and similar systems oftheo1ogy are fascinating, we want to examine briefly some that were a bit more connected and invo1ved with Christianity, and note their stress or lack of stress on the visio Dei. These will not necessarily be contemporary with New Testament times nor is it the purpose of this examination to revea1 their influence on, or their being influenced by the Christian teaching. The purpose of this examination is merely to give the reader an idea of the various strains of thought that were rampant in the people to whom the Christian teaching of the visio …

The Immortality Of The Soul As Presented In The Lutheran Confessons, Victor Felten

Bachelor of Divinity

The study of the concept of the immortality of the individual soul, or at least of survival in some form after death, seeks to ascertain the fate of condition, temporary or eternal, of individual souls, and how far the issues of the future depend on the present life. Here is where immortality is basic to eschatological implications.

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis was to determine, within the framework of Ephesians l:13-14, the basic meanings and the resultant implications of the terms “seal” and “earnest” when applied to the Holy Spirit. As indicated by the title, the result of such a purpose is a detailed interpretation of two verses of the Pauline corpus.

The Peace-Offering Of The Old Testament, John Dede

Bachelor of Divinity

The subject with which we are here concerned is the Old Testament peace-offering. To the New Testament Christian, Who no longer relies for his salvation upon ritual sacrifices, but rather trusts in the atoning work of Christ, that subject may seem of little value. But to a Christian who realizes that his faith is founded in the Word of God in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, any inquiry into the subject matter of that Book becomes important. As the apostle says, “These things were written for our learning.”

John R Mott, His Work With The Student Christian Movement To The Founding Of The World's Student Christian Federation, John K. Sorensen

Bachelor of Divinity

In order to keep the unity of the work before the eyes of the reader the author shall endeavor to point out in the course of Mott's early life his frequent allusions to the dream of a student world united under the banner of Christ. Why should the student be singled out for such a union? The answer is found in the life of Mott.

The Christology Of The Apocalypse Based On The Lamb Passages, Donald R. Krueger

The Prayer Life Of St. Paul, Donald Walter Balster

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to correlate, catalog, and analyze all references to prayer in the Pauline Epistles and the Book of Acts. The Apostle's prayers and commands to pray give insight into his prayer life and point up the Christ-centeredness of his faith.

A History Of Concordia College, New Orleans, Henry Niermann

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem dealt with in this paper has led up to the question, Why did the school close? A threefold answer has been offered: (a) Conditions in the city of New Orleans did not permit the expansion of the school; (b) The Lutheran people in the South did not gift proper support to the school; ( c) There was a lack of measures on the part of the leaders to avert a crisis.

The report was written with a hope that some of the problems and difficulties which face secondary schools may be met, and that the schools of the …

Contemporary Architecture In The Lutheran Church Of America, Arlis John Ehlen

The purpose of this study baa been to report, on the state of the so-called “contemporary1” (or "modern,” or “functional” architecture in American Lutheran circles.

Instrumental Music From The Golden Age Of The Lutheran Heritage, Robert R. Bergt

Bachelor of Divinity

It shall be the objective of this thesis to explore the use of literature and instrumental music within the church up to 1750.

Only when the structure of organ works influences directly the style and character of compositions for wind and stringed instruments shall these be discussed.

Factors Which Influenced The Development Of Jonathan Edwards, Donald L. Biggs

Bachelor of Divinity

"'The real life of Jonathan Edwards was the life of his Mind.” Her s the perfect example of a writer who emerged out of the passions, the feuds, and the anxieties of his society. Thus, in dealing with Jonathan Edwards and the thought which influenced New England for nearly a century after his death, it is necessary to deal first of all with the passions, the feuds, and the anxieties from which he arose. Without these there can really be no true understanding of' the man and his thought. It is legitimate to ask the question, “What are the factors …
