"Whom Shall We Send?", F Brand

Concordia Theological Monthly

Said one of our brethren to me the other day,.”I am not in favor of sending our best men to the Orient. We need them at home. Less gifted men are good enough.'' The brother is a man of acknowledged zeal for the work of the Lord and always willing to bring a personal sacrifice in order to win a soul for Christ. His firm conviction is that we "need our best men at home." The subject challenges careful thought.

Suggestive Material For Song Service Address, L Blankenbuehler

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Church possesses in its beautiful hymns a priceless treasure. This fact is often attested to by non-Lutheran authorities ·on hymnology. On a recent lecture tour through the United States the greatest living authority on Bach, Dr. Terry, of Edinburgh, referred to the Lutheran hymnal as "that precious legacy of the Reformation.'' The man who gave the Church of the Reformation her first hymnal is the same who gave the Church the open Bible by putting the Word of God into the vernacular, the same who summed up the fundamental teachings of the Holy Book in that marvelous "Laymen's …

The Position Of The Christian Woman, Especially As Worker In The Church, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The position of women in most heathen nations and tribes was and is one of almost unbelievable degradation and unspeakable misery. In most cases, even among the more enlightened nations of antiquity, she was nothing more than a mere chattel. Under the old Roman law, for example, a husband had absolute power of life and death over his wife and absolute control of her property. (Brace, Gesta. Christi, 20.) In Athens, during the age of the orators, the woman was obliged to accept without questioning a position distinctly subordinate to the men, both intellectually and socially. "The life of the …

Divergent Teaching On The Plan Of Salvation, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Presbyterian of January 30, 1930, published an article by Dr. S. G. Craig, at that time its editor (''Diversity of Opinion within the Organized Church Relative to the Plan of Salvation"), which is to a great extent informatory and to some extent misinformatory. The first section of the article treats of the Pelagian and the Christian teaching on the plan of salvation. "Pelagius, who was the first to teach a formal doctrine of self-salvation in the Church and who may be regarded as the father of all who have taught this doctrine within the Christian Church, held that God …

The Christian Pastor And His Problems- A Pastoral Study Of The Epistles Of Paul To The Corinthians, Mark J. Steege

Bachelor of Divinity

Paul’s life and teachings form also the subject of this essay, insofar as they apply to the office and work of the pastor. Since his letters to the Corinthians are the most valuable in giving us information on just this phase, the essay will be limited to passages taken from these two books or the Bible. The essay is divided into two parts: I. The Pastor; and II. The Pastor's Problems.

The Weakness Of The Modern Pulpit, A Brief Examination Of The Trend And Principles Followed In The Preaching Of To-Day, B P. Hahn

Bachelor of Divinity

In other words, then, it is in the pulpit of today, occupied by the preachers whose office corresponds very closely to that of the prophets and priests in the Old Testament, where we shall find the chief reason why the church is apparently failing in its world mission to-day. Viewing the pulpit in this light men have produced much literature in the attempt to better and advance the pulpit; ma~ and varied are the weaknesses that have been pointed out by them.

The Christology Of Present-Day Moderniem, Herbert F. Glock

Bachelor of Divinity

It is only because modernistic Christology has become stabilized that it can now be summarily treated. Our purpose, then, is to present those christological views which form the self-evident background of present-day Modernism. However, since the views of Modernism are established only by the consensus of opinion, and not by official pronouncement, a study of its Christology requires a review of the present-day modernistic works. We purpose to summarize, then, these views on the various phases of Christ's life, according to His Person, and His Work and Teachings. The sources for present-day Modernism are limited practically to the past twenty …

The Alexandrian Back-Ground Of The Letter To The Hebrews, Paul A. Boriack

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this treatise is to present mainly those facts which are generally adduced to prove the Alexandrian back-ground of the Letter to the Hebrews. Since some scholars, however, deny this back-ground, their evidence, as far as available from sources at hand, shall also be considered.

The Doctrine Of The Real Presence Of Christ In The Eucharist With Special Reference To The Doctrine Of Transubstantiation, Fred C. Kreiss

Bachelor of Divinity

In a Catholic tract of recent date, “The Holy Eucharist Explained” (by Our Sunday Visitor Press, Huntington, Ind.), We read the modest claim that “All Christians for 15 centuries believed the Eucharist to contain the true body and blood, soul and divinity or Jesus Christ, under the appearances or bread and wine” (p. 16); that this is substantiated by the following facts: “In the first place the Greek Church and all the Christian sects or Asia, which are older than Protestantism by 1000 years, believe as we do. Hence such must have been the prevailing belief or Christians during the …

The Augsburg Confession, W Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

After visiting Italy and savagely sacking Holy Rome, Kaiser Karl V made the Peace of Barcelona with the Holy Father on June 29, 1520. On August 3 he mode peace with his chronic rival, "the Most Christian King," Francis I of France. This Peace of Cambray had an article "forbidding to print or sell any Lutheran books.'' Thus the noble Kaiser thanked the Lutherans for saving him in the day of distress from the Turk, the King, and the Pope.

On January 21, 1530, Karl called his Reichstag for April 8 to Augsburg, the burg of the great Caesar Augustus, …

Concerning The Resurrection Body, J T. Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

Modern unbelief, in its onslaught on our Christian faith, is in violent opposition also to the Biblical doctrine of the resurrection, one of the central teachings of the Gospel. With regard to this doctrine, Modernists are divided into two camps. Some, like Fosdick, are inclined to identify the resurrection of the body with the "immortality of the soul.'' (Op. Fosdick, Modern Use of the Bible.) Others, again, deny even the doctrine of personal immortality, claiming that "the only valid immortality is of two kinds, influential and eugenic,'' or, that "the prolonged and rich life of posterity here is the only …

Luther's Academic Relations To Erfurt And Wittenberg, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The word academic is here used in the special sense of something Agreeing with scholastic rules, customs, and usages; for the age in which Luther lived was very particular in its observance of such relations. And although Luther, in his personal opinions and judgments, made use of great freedom in analyzing such customs, yet his abhorrence of any form of radicalism kept him from actions which might have been regarded as iconoclastic, also in the field of academic courtesies. In other words, while he was not necessarily conscientious and punctilious about these customs, he took part in their observance with …

Preaching On The Augsburg Confession, Theo. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Preaching on the Augsburg Confession. The four-hundredth anniversary of Luther's Small Catechism, celebrated wherever the name of Luther was known, has undoubtedly been a source of richest blessing. Pastors and people become better acquainted with its history and contents, learned to appreciate this little book the more highly, and thanked God the more sincerely for this precious gift. The sermons preached on the Catechism during 1920 were not in vain, but productive of splendid results, sure as Is.55, 10. 11 still holds good. Let us hope that similar streams of blessing will flow from the celebration of the four-hundredth anniversary· …

Sermon Study On Hebrews 4:14-16, F Niedner

V.14: "Seeing, then, that we have a great High Priest that is pleased into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession." The author speaks of n great High Priest. The office of priest and high priest was instituted by God Himself in the Old Testament. Ex. 28, 1-3; Heb. 5, 4. Priests were to be mediators between God and men, Heb. 2, 17; G, 1; cf. Ex.18, 19; to maintain and, if necessary, to reestablish the covenant relations between God and His people. For this purpose they wero to offer up sacrifices, Heb. 5, …
