The Internal Relationship, Linguistic And Theological, Between The Gospel Of John And The Epistles Of John, Marvin Kammrath

Bachelor of Divinity

The intrinsic value of a paper such as the one here presented, lies not so much in the impression made by the finished product as in the profitable textual study which it entails. The task of digging deep into the language and theology of four books of the New Testament has been a pleasant one. In addition to the joy of working with the original Greek of the sacred New Testament, of making careful literal translations and thorough exegetical studies, there has been the added satisfaction of unfolding cumulative doctrinal evidence overwhelming in its depth and extent.

The Fulfillment Of Old Testament Prophecy In The Gospel Of St Matthew Exegetically And Doctrinally Treated, Herbert Goerss

Bachelor of Divinity

Matthew has some 27 prophecy quotations in his Gospel. We list them here as they occur from time to time in the Gospel, giving the location of the fulfillment, the subject prophesied, and the location of the prophecy. Of course, in some cases, various prophecies have the same fulfillment.

The Knowledge And Use Of The Bible In The Medieval Age, Martin Bertermann

Bachelor of Divinity

In attempting to show precisely to what extent the new learning pervaded the countries of Europe during the Middle Ages, and, specifically, just in how far the Bible was known among the clergy and laity, one must be careful to strive for the golden mean in interpreting a flood of literature which usually goes to one of two extremes. The first of these divergent opinions is the one mentioned above, that the Bible, as almost wholly unknown by the clergy and laity of the Middle Ages. And this would seem to be substantiated by no less an authority than Luther …

The Use Of Hades In The New Testament, Louis Meyer

Bachelor of Divinity

The word hades (sheol) presents a problem--a matter on which the theologians or our own Synod are not agreed. Many of them believe that the word has various meanings--that in certain passages it means hell, while in other passages it has a general meaning, namely, "the state of death”. There are also those who are of the conviction that the term is never used to designate hell, the place of eternal punishment, but only means "the state or condition of death".

It is the latter view which, after careful study of the problem, I consider to be the more correct …

Demoniac Possession, Harold Maleske

Bachelor of Divinity

Among the many miracles which the synoptic Gospels record, special prominence is given to the casting out of demons or devils who possessed those unfortunate people commonly known as demoniacs. In order to clarify the Biblical concept of demoniac possession, the following facts concerning the Scriptural doctrine of the devil and his hosts must be considered.

The Prophecies Of Balam, Theodore Martin

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

Balaam is known largely because of his connection with the story of the ass that spoke, and, while critics point the skeptical finger and rant against the incredible nature of the narrative, they make the usual mistake of drawing attention away from the important part, the prophecies, and centering it on one incident, which is perhaps more striking, although merely incidental.

The Prophets And Political And Social Problems, Theodore Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Any one that even casually reads the prophetic books of the Old Testament will see at once that the prophets took a very active interest in the social problems of their day and pointed out a way to their solution. The question is whether what they say on these problems still applies to conditions in the twentieth century, 2,500 and more years later than these prophets lived. A categorical denial of the applicability of Old Testament prophecy to our present-day conditions would come into conflict with such clear Scripture-passages as Rom.15: 4 and 2 Tim. 3: 16. On the other …

The Presbyterian Guardian, January 25, reports: "Dr. John A. Mackay, president of Princeton Theological Seminary and champion of Barthianism, is one of ten well-known Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish leaders participating in an interfaith 'Institute on Religion' now being held in the Jewish synagog at Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The theme of the Institute is: 'Religious Values ID American Democracy.' Speakers in addition to Dr. Mackay are: Gregory Feige, noted Roman Catholic writer; Dr. Louis Finkelstein, provost of the Jewish Theological Seminary; Dr. F.

Writing And Memorizing The Sermon, J. H. Fritz

Concordia Theological Monthly

Wrong methods make sermon work wearisome toil; right methods make it a pleasant task. Good instruction, based upon the experience of all great preachers and speakers, should not be undervalued. Old and tried methods should not be discarded merely because they are old. The young, inexperienced preacher may prefer to do things in his own way, believing this to be the eaiser way and yet just as effective. The fact is that it is neither. The man, far instance, who reads his sermon in the pulpit will never be a forceful preacher. Reading lacks the directness which makes speaking effective. …

Erasmus's Pictures Of Church Conditions, Wm. Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Religious Pilgrimage describes the visit of Erasmus and Dean Colet to the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket, "one of the most religious pilgrimages in the world." In the south porch of the church stand three stone statues of men In armor, who with wicked hands murdered the holy man, with the names of their countries -Tusci, Fusci, and Betri. They have the same honor done them that is done to Judas, Pilate, Caiaphas, and the band of wicked soldiers whose images you may see carved upon stately altars; and their names are added that no one after them …

Defects Of Preaching, J. H. Fritz

Concordia Theological Monthly

At the present time there is no little complaint about poor preaching, and whether we like it or not, we must admit that much poor preaching is heard from Lutheran pulpits also: sermons that are shallow in reference to their Biblical content, sermons that do not supply the needs of the people, sermons poorly constructed, sermons not well delivered. When people sit through a sermon Sunday after Sunday, they ought to be strengthened in their faith, warned against sin, especially the sins of their time, encouraged to lead a Christian life, comforted in their troubles, advanced in Christian knowledge. But …

Erasmus's Pictures Of Church Conditions, W. Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Familiar Colloquies came out on January 1, 1519, and on the title-page state they are "useful not only for polishing a boy's speech but for building his character." E. F. H. Capey says: ''Erasmus occasionally lapses into coarseness, but the Colloquies were written for men of nerve, not for children." What can you do with such biographers?

In this work Erasmus is proved a most peculiar priestly pedagog. Froude calls Erasmus ''the most gifted man Europe has ever seen," and this is his best-loved and most widely read work. It gives us a better picture of Catholicism than many …

The Church And Social Problems, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

These brief remarks are intended to introduce a series of articles dealing with the topic mentioned in the caption, articles which, God willing, will appear in this journal during 1940. While we should feel extremely sorry if our Church and its ministers, instead of studying and preaching the Word of God, should devote themselves to the debating of sociological questions, we cannot ignore the situation which confronts us, realizing that on every side these matters are made the subject of religious discussion and that our Christians are vitally affected by them. Our church members are looking to the clergy for …
