Church And Church History In The Confessions, Jaroslav Pelikan

Concordia Theological Monthly

The current revival of interest in the doctrine of the Church has far-reaching significance for many areas of theological study. Without an adequate appreciation of the nature of the Church much of Christian doctrine cannot attain full articulation. For example, there has always been a close connection between the doctrine of the Church and the doctrine of the means of grace, as Article V of the Augsburg Confession shows. The study of the Old Testament as the record of God's dealings with His people, of the New Testament as the account of God's establishment of His new people, of liturgy …

The Origin And Early Development Of Puritanism, V Ralph Weinhold

Bachelor of Divinity

Much has been written of the history of English Puritanism. This brief examination of the subject purposes no new contribution. It seeks merely to draw together the main events of that phase of English history and to discuss some of the issues involved.

The first problem is one of definition. One scholar has suggested that Puritanism has as many definitions as it has students, with a like distribution of trustworthiness. Therefore, before attempting to define it ourselves we do well to consider the definitions offered by recognized scholars of the movement.

Personal Evangelism- The Causes Of Lethargy, Carl Streufert

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In the history of American church life there have been four notable evangelistic movements. All of them have had as their purpose and aim the spreading of the Gospel message. Yet each of them has had a separate and distinct method which they employed to bring that message to the people of its era.

The Lotthers: Forgotten Printers Of The Reformation, W. G. Tillmanns

Concordia Theological Monthly

The name Lotther is so similar to that of our Reformer that it must arouse the curiosity of the reader when he finds this name recorded in Luther's correspondence. Yet most Luther biographies do not even mention this name, and those that do pass it over lightly. Thus the family which has rendered outstanding service to the cause of the Reformation is today all but forgotten.

The Authorship Of St. John's Gospel, Hugo Odeberg

Concordia Theological Monthly

Some New Testament books contain clear statements as to who wrote them. Oftentimes the author's name is mentioned at the beginning of the book. This is natural when it is an Epistle, for it is usual to specify in a letter both by whom it is written, and to whom it is sent. Most New Testament Epistles begin with the name of the sender and also mention the name or names of those to whom the Letter is addressed. The Epistle to the Galatians, for instance, opens with the author's name: "Paul, an Apostle ... to the churches of Galatia." …

The Temptation Of The Church: A Study Of Matt. 4:1-11, Jaroslav J. Pelikan Jr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

This brief essay purposes to examine the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, not so much the problems1which this narrative poses for the area of dogmatics we call Christology (though these are considerable), but the way the story highlights some of the most profound temptations to which the Church and its ministers are subject. For in the three questions which the devil put to Jesus, as Dostoevsky observed, "the whole subsequent history of mankind is, as it were, brought together into one whole, and in them are united all the unresolved historical contradictions of human nature."

A Concordance Study Of The Concept "Word Of God", Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The concept "Word of God" currently occupies a crucial position in theological discussion. At least two principal reasons are apparent for this situation. Both arise from the fact that the Sacred Scriptures of Old and New Testaments came under the fire of liberal higher criticism. Thereby the significance and content of these writings was called into question, and their reliability as revelation was impugned.

Entmythologisierung, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

As is universally admitted, German scholars are ingenious and versatile. Not only are their minds fertile in the invention of new theories, but if no new hypothesis can be found, the old ones are brought out of the closet, dusted, and supplied with novel labels. This latter phenomenon definitely is witnessed in the rise of the de-mythologizing theory, which, we are told, is a chief topic of discussion among theologians in Germany and other parts of Europe just now. A visitor from Germany recently remarked that the succession of engrossing novelties in the theological market is noteworthy and that the …

Quick And Powerful, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The object of preaching and teaching in the Church is, quite simply, to move men. We preach in order that men may be stirred into newness of life; and we teach in order that men may continue, in the Spirit-moved pulsation of repentance and faith, to grow, to increase, to live and move under the continued and inevitable forward tension of the grace of God that dare not be received in vain. This is a commonplace, and there is nothing startling about it; the startling thing is that so many of our sermons (good sermons, carefully constructed sermons, and not …

The Public Ministry In The Apostolic Age, H. G. Brueggemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the hope of resolving the points of disagreement relating to the doctrine of the call, the ministry, and the Church, which for a number of years threatened the unity of the constituent bodies of the Synodical Conference, the convention in 1946 appointed an Interim Committee. In 1948 this committee of eight men submitted its findings to the Synodical Conference in a majority and a minority report.

A Short History Of The Lutheran Church In Great Britain, E. George Pearce

Concordia Theological Monthly

“Lutheran” is a word that many English people find hard to pronounce because it is so seldom used in this country. In few countries of Western Europe is the Lutheran Church as little known as it is in Great Britain. When recently an inquiry was made at the B. B. C. in London regarding the possibility of a Lutheran religious broadcast, the surprising reply was given: "It is the policy of the B. B. C. to broadcast only the services of those churches which are in the mainstream of the Christian tradition." How strange that the largest of all Protestant …

The Pessimism Of Ecclesiasties, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

Much of the literature published on Ecclesiastes in recent years stresses the pessimistic tone of the book. It is felt that the author's philosophy of life is permeated with a sense of futility and hopelessness in the face of historical events and the experiences of individuals. The purpose of this essay is to challenge the validity of such an interpretation and establish the proposition that Ecclesiastes is indeed pessimistic, but more profoundly so than is generally indicated. An analysis of his own statements indicates that his entire approach is based on a consideration of man's total depravity. God, however, aims …

Rural Life And The Church, W. W. Stuenkel

Concordia Theological Monthly

Rural life at first was perfect. The entire first chapter of Genesis describes bow God created the various animate and inanimate objects which still today comprise rural life for us, and in the last verse we hear His evaluation: "And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good" (Gen. 1:31). But then came the Fall and with it the curse directed particularly to agriculture, although it extended over all of man's activity: "And unto Adam He said: Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife and hast eaten of the tree of which …
