The Golden Age Of Lutheran Church Music, Walter Buszin

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

While the chief aim of this thesis is to give thought to the musical developments of the Golden Age of Lutheran Church Music, the writer will attempt also to present an account of the general background which is furnished not only by the cultural and political, but also by the ecclesiastical conditions of this period and the periods which preceded it. This is being done not only because the author sees fit to accept the dictum set forth by Egon Friedell, but also because he is firmly convinced that developments within the Golden Age of Lutheran Church Music will then …

Ideas Of Salvation Amoung The Chinese, Herbert Meyer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

We cannot in the scope of this paper present the peculiar characteristics of each sect or of all the various writings on the subject of salvation. We will content ourselves with studying the chief divergent ideas on salvation as we find these emphasized in certain sects or scriptures.

Dignified Methods Of Church Publicity, August Brustat

Bachelor of Divinity

Church publicity is an important phase of church work. It is the MEANS by which we call to the attention of immortal souls the truth of salvation in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Methods of church publicity are an important part of the curriculum of a theological Seminary. Prospective ministers of the Gospel will be greatly aided in their future parish duties if dignified ways and means of publicizing the Gospel are called to their attention in the course on Practical Theology.

The Pharisees, Henry Eggold

Bachelor of Divinity

I shall try to defend the view that the basic tenets of the Pharisees at the time of Christ, nationalism and legalism, are able to be traced through all the preceding generations as far back as the time of Ezra. The other material presented in "this paper is to serve the purpose of throwing this idea into bolder relief.

The Problem Of Infrequent Communion In The Missouri Synod, Herbert Kern

Bachelor of Divinity

A widespread neglect of the Lord's Supper exists in our Church. A number of years ago an editor of the "Lutheran Witness" wrote: "One of the alarming symptoms in the Church is the neglect of the Sacrament by so many members. "Recent Communion statistics offer positive proof that the Eucharist does not occupy that place in our congregational life which Christ clearly intended for it.

The History And Development Of The Tithe With Special Reference To Legalistic Aberrations, Otto Fink

Bachelor of Divinity

The author wishes to state that the Mosaic system of tithing has always puzzled him. It was not, however, until recent years that he began to take a deeper interest in the general subject of tithing. Due to the fact that many of our Lutheran pastors and layman are tithers, and due also to the fact that the scriptures speak so often of giving, he has taken this opportunity to investigate and trace the history and development of tithing from remote antiquity to the present day. The study is of inestimable value to him. It should be understood that no …

The Chief Heretical Groups Of The Early Church, Lewis Gerbhardt

Bachelor of Divinity

Peace and unity within the Church of the first and second century was an unattainable then as it is today. The early church experienced internal conflicts more trying than many of the persecutions and results fat more disastrous. Christianity had been given the world as the only true religion, the only religion professing Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven whereby salvation could be had. Many systems of religion and thought existed which likewise claimed to deal authoritatively with man and his soul, however conflicts between Christianity and these pagan beliefs were either short-lived or caused little opposition. The real …

The Mystical Union Of The Believer With Christ, Waldemar Streufert

Bachelor of Divinity

There is a certain restless dissatisfaction in man as he pursues his daily tasks and endeavors to enjoy his present life to the full. In the case of the believer, there is not this uncertainty and groping. But in the case of the unconverted, there is many a one who substitutes an “unknowab1e Infinity for the true God. Man will strive earnestly to satisfy his craving after the true Reality, but rarely, if ever, will he try to find the truth about God in His Word. Instead of this objective source, man seeks communion with nature and thus hopes to …

The Church And Its Battle With Gnosticism, Luther Koepke

Bachelor of Divinity

As we look at Gnosticism we find it a counterfeit of the true and Christ-founded Church. To the people living at the height of the Gnostic heresy this erroneous teaching and Christianity must have seemed similar. Similar terms, and similar concepts, but Gnosticism offering these by a different method. Gnosticism came in similar garb, offered like benefits, but gave soul-destroying results.

The Reformation In The Relation To Elementary Education, E P. Weber

Bachelor of Divinity

While here and there a practical deduction may be drawn, the one aim of this paper is to present from a historical angle the Reformation in its relation to elementary education. In order to limit ourselves to the requirements of a treatise of this sort, we shall refer for the most part only to the educational thoughts of the Reformation author, Martin Luther.

A Critical Analysis Of The Harmony Of The Passion Story, Robert Gussick

Advent And Lent "Closed Seasons"?, F. A. Kolch

Concordia Theological Monthly

"A canonical term applied to those days on which noisy festivities, especially the merrymakings usually incidental to marriage, are not allowed. These prohibitions had their origin, in part at least, in the theories that governed the introduction of fasts. At quite an early period, prayer and continence were commended by way of preparation for a worthy observance of feast-days.

Sermon Study For Good Friday, 2 Cor. 5:14-21, Th. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Over against the calumnies of his opponents and the misunderstandings of his beloved Corinthians, Paul defends in chaps.1-7 of his Second Letter to the Corinthians the sincerity of his purpose and the genuineness and glory of his apostolic calling. As the prophets of the Old Testament had been called mad fellows, 2 Kings 9:11; Jer. 29:26 f.; as Christ had been similarly stigmatized, Mark 3:21,22; John 7:20, so, in order to disparage Paul's person and message, his opponents had charged him with being a madman, out of his senses, a visionary and deceiver. In v.13 Paul had assured his readers …

New Validations Of Theism., Theodore Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The age-old problem of the rational proofs for the existence of a God has been given prominence in recent philosophical literature. The subject has long been in abeyance, and, in general, interest in philosophical theism has been on the wane ever since the traditional evidences were subjected to the devastating scrutiny of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Only in Roman Catholic handbooks of systematic theology and of metaphysics the time-honored arguments for the existence of God are submitted as scientifically valid. Revival of interest in the subject is chiefly due to contributions of certain English philosophers to the discussion of …

The Altenburg Debate, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

In an evaluation of Professor Polack's book The Story of C. F. W. Walther, which appeared a few years ago, the review editor of the Theologische Quartalschrift includes the following remarks: "Important and soul-racking though the later controversies were, they dwindle when compared with the difficulties of Walther and the Saxon immigrants as they came to a head in Altenburg. In Altenburg life and death, faith and despair, hung in the balance. In the later affairs it was Walther firmly grounded in the truth and unshaken in his faith who waged the battles, although he did not succeed in convincing …
