Infant Baptism, E. W. Koehler

Concordia Theological Monthly

Ever since the days of the Anabaptists, in the early part of the sixteenth century, infant baptism has been a controverted question in the Church. Also in our day there are those who reject pedobaptism, because there is no text in the Bible which explicitly commands that also infants should be baptized, as they were commanded to be circumcised in the Old Testament.

The Institutional Missionary And The Spiritual Rehabilitation Of The Prisoner, E. A. Duemling

Concordia Theological Monthly

This dejected and rejected man is not forgotten by the Church. Whatever we may think of prisoners and their crimes, the fact nevertheless remains that each and every one has an immortal soul, for which the Savior also bled and died on Calvary's cross. It is God's will that the wicked should turn from his ways and live. Cognizant of the fact that the Lord enjoins the Church to preach the Gospel to every creature, a missionary chaplain is sent to the abode of convicted men. It is the Gospel that will save them from eternal condemnation.

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the first place, it is not true that our dogmas come into existence gradually and that hence there are articles of faith "which are still in the process of formation, and others which as yet have either not at all or merely by way of beginning been drawn into the stream of events in which dogmas take shape." It is not true that some articles of faith have come down to us "as undecided, unfinished questions, incomplete structures, as open questions," because concerning these things one does not yet find unanimous agreement in the Lutheran Church.

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

A further argument for this theory is the view that evidently for ecclesiastical unity not more is required than agreement in the teachings laid down in the public confession of the Church; that these are the only ones fixed by the Church itself; that on these only the Church has made pronouncements and decisions; and that everything else has to be considered as belonging to the category of open questions.

The Administration Of The Sacraments, Th. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our Lord Jesus Christ in the night in which He was betrayed instituted, and Himself administered, His Holy Supper. To this day this Sacrament remains His Holy Supper, a heavenly banquet which He Himself has spread and which He Himself serves to all attendants Says Luther: "We know that it is and is called the Lord's Supper, not the supper of the Christians. For the Lord ha not only instituted it, but also prepares and administers it Himself.

The Province Of Human Reason In Religion, M. S. Sommer

Concordia Theological Monthly

At the very outset it is necessary to define what I mean by human reason. By this term I mean the entire sum of natural knowledge and powers of the human mind, including intuition and conscience and the ability to reason correctly. This human reason is a very precious gift of God and is therefore also to be prized very highly. It is a sign of great folly, corruption, aye, of Satanic delusion, to despise and teach others to despise God's gifts in nature. "For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received …

The Meaning Of Νομοε In The Epistles Of St Paul, Julius Kimpel

Bachelor of Divinity

"There is scarcely in the whole New Testament any greater difficulty than the ascertaining of the various meanings of νο̍μος in the Epistles of St. Paul,” wrote a renowned British scholar of a century ago. Was he overstating the matter when he wrote those words, or are there facts to confirm his judgment?

Predestination, John Herzog

Bachelor of Divinity

The questions which press themselves upon us as we approach the problem are these: Without distinction in us, why did not God save all or damn all? Cur alii, non alii? Why was I converted while another who was no more sinful was not? Is unbelief the cause or result of "non-election"? If cause, then "intuitu fidei"; if result, then decreta alsoluta. What is to be held of the faith of the "Zeitglaeubigen? etc., etc.

The Archeology Of The Sacraments, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The boundary between history and archeology is somewhat indefinite, but for the purpose of this short discussion the following distinction may be of value. History is a more or less orderly narration of events, either in the form of a chronicle which notes down occurrences from day to day or week to week, like a diary, or in logical arrangement, presenting events in units as the historian understands the incidents which he presents. Archeology, on the other hand, and, in this instance, Christian archeology, is the science of Christian antiquity, an orderly presentation not so much of historical events as …

The Christian Congregation: Its Rights And Duties According To God's Word And Our Lutheran Confessions, J. T. Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

In my two brief addresses I shall endeavor to present to you, in their essential features, the paramount Biblical truths which Dr. Walther has propounded in his immortal book Die rechte Geatalt einer vom Staat unabhaengigen ev.-luth. Ortsgemeinde. Eine Sammlung von Zeugnissen aus den Bekenntnisschriften der evang.-luth. Kirche und aus den Privatschriften rechtglaeubiger Lehrer der selben; which means, in literal translation: The Correct Form of a Local Ev. Luth. Congregation which Is Independent of the State. A Collection of Testimonies from the Confessions of the Ev. Luth. Church and the Private Writings of Its Orthodox Teachers.

The False Arguments For The Modern Theory Of Open Questions, C. F. Walther, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Johann Gerhard, whose authority is adduced against us, is of the same well-founded opinion [that, while in this life not a higher unity than a fundamental one is possible, errors that arise in a church-body should not be treated with indifference, even if they are of a non-fundamental character]. He writes against the papists, who place unity among the marks of the Church: ''It must be added that unity of faith and doctrine in the Church is not a perfect and absolute one in this life; for at times controversies occur between members of the true Church through which this …

The Saxons Move To Perry County, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the Saxon Lutherans reached the metropolis of the central Mississippi Valley, then a town of some 16,000 inhabitants, their plans had not yet fully matured. Only one point seems to have been reasonably certain, namely, that they did not intend to remain in St. Louis. In the Regulations for the Emigrant, approved in Dresden on May 17, 1838, paragraph 4 reads:

"Place of Settlement. -The place of colonization in the United States of North America is to be chosen in one of the Western States in Missouri or Illinois or perhaps in Indiana."

The Influence Of Scholasticism On Luther, Ewald Otto

Bachelor of Divinity

To sketch the influence of scholasticism and of the scholastics on Luther would require much more time for research than is possible for this paper. Moreover, even to make a selection of scholastics and to determine all the points in which they influenced the hero of the Reformation would call for a greater opus than this pretends to be. It is my purpose, therefore, to consider three scholastics only, namely, Occam, Biel, and Gerson, and to take cognizance of just a few of the ways in which their teachings had an effect on the life and teachings of him whom …

The Great Awakening, Julius Tusty

Bachelor of Divinity

The Great Awakening was a religious revival which swept through our country during the middle of the eighteenth century. The revivalists who labored during this Awakening placed too much emphasis upon emotion. They stressed sanctification, "feeling", and moral reform. They preached the new birth, new life, regeneration. They emphasized the immediate working of the Holy Ghost. It seems that they tried to save by sensation.

The References To Antichrist In Ii Thessalonians Compares With Those In The Epistles Of St. John, Peter Moog

Bachelor of Divinity

The prophet Daniel, sometime during the sixth century before the birth or our savior, pictured in a vision the archenemy or God, the king who destroys the true worship of God. Some six hundred years later, Saint John the Divine on the Isle of Patmos, clarifies the vision of Daniel through another vision, in which he sees the woman arrayed in scarlet on the seven hills." The abominations of the king; whom Daniel saw are portrayed by Saint John in an extremely vivid and unmistakeable announcement. But just who is this destructive person or force? If one will approach the …
