Studies In Eusebius, E. G. Sihler

Concordia Theological Monthly

The slurs of Gibbon have been answered by many Christians, especially by Milman, Dean of St. Paul's. The chief aim of Gibbon was to belittle the motives and heroism of the martyrs, to call in question the accounts of witnesses like Lactantius and Eusebius, and to excuse or mitigate the action of those responsible for the persecutions. In the present paper my aim is to examine with care the procedure and methods of Eusebius.

Foreword: Can The Lutheran Bodies Of America Get Together?, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

A layman writes to the Lutheran of October 6, 1932: ''Have enjoyed the series of four articles on 'Lutheran Union' as presented from four different viewpoints. However, your editorial remarks concerning the above were quite disappointing to me in as far as you do not seem to like 'free conferences.' How will we Lutherans ever get together if we refuse to confer with one another? Surely a free conference is a good beginning. Differences will crop out of course, but must be honestly faced by all. We Lutherans cannot unite by ignoring real differences. A mere church-government union will not …

Divorce And Malcious Desertion, Theo. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

No Divorce, Except It Be for Fornication.

Fornication constitutes the one and only cause for obtaining a divorce, for severing the marriage bond. However, before the Christian congregation may sanction a suit for divorce on the grounds of fornication, it must be manifest that the person accused has actually committed fornication. The offense must be proved de facto and de jure. It must be fornication de jure. A raped woman has not committed fornication; she has been the victim of a crime perpetrated against her will. Whether rape has occurred before or after betrothal or marriage, it will not afford …

Divorce, Except It Be for Fornication.

Is there anything besides death that severs the marriage bond? In the opinion of the Pharisees there were quite a number of reasons for which a man might put away his wife. In answer to Christ’s apodictic statement they ask: "Why did Moses, then, command to give a writing of divorcement and to put her away? How dare you, they mean to say, put yourself in opposition to Moses? Are you more than Moses? Christ answers: Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives; but from the …

Is The New Science Hostile To Religon?, Theodore Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The question is raised in a letter which just comes to hand from Rev. H. J. S. Astrup of Zululand, South Africa, who calls himself "an unknown far-away man," but whose labors in the South Africa mission-field are not unknown to us. Rev. Astrup particularly refers to a recent book of Sir James Jeans, The Mysterious Universe, a book which in this reader's opinion "has upset many person's faith," particularly in its bearings on the Christian's belief in creation.

Child Study According To The Bible, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The attitude of the Lutheran Church, specifically of our branch of the Lutheran Church, toward the Bible, is one which finds little appreciation in the world to-day. Wherever we turn, we find opposition. The Church of Rome has added to its mutilated Bible the vagaries of tradition and the claims of an "infallible" Pope. Most Protestant denominations have set aside the inspiration of the Bible or so modified the meaning of inspiration as to make the word meaningless.

The Legislative Sphere Of The Fourth Lateran Council, H. O. Keinath

Concordia Theological Monthly

"With desire have I desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer," Luke 22, 15, that was the text of the sermon with which Innocent III opened the sessions of the Fourth Lateran Council, 1215. Employing the allegorical method of Scripture interpretation, which was his favorite method, he found no difficulty in applying the "passover'' to the great council now assembled before him. And it was very true that he had desired this council "with desire.'' For, in a measure, this council and its activity was the great climax of his papal policy, a policy which had made …

Christ's Descent Into Hell, Paul Koenig

Concordia Theological Monthly

Christ’s descent into hell is not a moot or undecided doctrine, upon which no clear light can be shed and which remains the subject for speculation indefinitely; nor is it one the correct or incorrect teaching of which is a matter of indifference. It is embodied in the Apostolic Creed, and with the Church of old we confess: "suffered under ... He descended into hell." It thus becomes a part of our holy Christian faith and one to which wo must subscribe as well as to the foregoing or the following. But while the words "descended into hell" are confessed …

Gustavus Adolphus's Participation In The German War, R W. Heintze

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Thirty Years' War was the armed effort by which Romanism was to be restored to its domination of Europe. This counter-reformation was to be effective not only in Central Europe, but also in France, England, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden. In Sweden, Gustavus Vasa's son John, influenced by his Roman Catholic wife, a Polish princess, had sought the help of Catholic powers in his war against Russia and had published his Red Book, a liturgy composed in accord with the Council of Trent. Then he had invited the Jesuits to Sweden and had appealed to the Pope to order …

Divorce And Malcious Desertion, Theo. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Divorce is one of the most pernicious and at the same time most prevalent evils of our day. With the exception of Russia our own country has the sorrowful distinction of lending the nations of the world in divorces per capita of population. This extreme disregard of the sanctity and indissolubility of wedlock, which like a deadly poison has already ruined thousands of homes and is threatening to undermine the very foundation of our Union, is slowly, but surely invading our congregations also, there to exercise its baneful influence. During the past decade divorces, almost unknown in our circles twenty …
