The Theological Implications Of Confirmation, Arthur C. Repp Mar 1960

The Theological Implications Of Confirmation, Arthur C. Repp

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran practice of confirmation can hardly be described as uniform during its long history. The differences varied greatly both in number and in kind as many accretions attached themselves to this practice. Because there was no Biblical basis for confirmation, the Lutheran Church did not hesitate to warrant new emphases and directions with changing circumstances and needs. As confirmation is practiced today, especially in the United States, it is cluttered with the remnants of such additions, the origins of which are rarely recognized. Just as the Reformation Church thought it was restoring confirmation in accord with the tradition of …

February's Festivals, Arthur Carl Piepkorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

The two minor festivals of February focus attention on two important tasks that faculty and field, the editors and most of the readers of this magazine, share with each other.


The Word Of God In The Theology Of Karl Barth, Robert D. Preus Feb 1960

The Word Of God In The Theology Of Karl Barth, Robert D. Preus

Concordia Theological Monthly

The purpose of this series of articles is to acquaint the reader with the theology of the leading Protestant theologian of our day, Karl Barth. It is often more rewarding to examine one theologian of real stature rather than dissipate our limited space upon a more sketchy overview of the ideas of two or three well-known theologians. And Barth is the man whom we must still choose today. Certainly Bultmann and Tillich, whose theologies are philosophically oriented and structured, will have far less to offer the Christian Church. Brunner, who really never left the ground of liberalism, is no longer …


Preaching For The Church (Review), Arthur C. Repp, George W. Hoyer Feb 1960

Preaching For The Church (Review), Arthur C. Repp, George W. Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

In spite of their preoccupation with preaching most pastors are not particularly interested in books about preaching. Sermon books are more promising. They can offer valuable ideas, give a few practical hints now and then, present a stimulating model, and not infrequently suggest an outline to the harried pastor. But a book on homiletics at best seems to promise a review of those principles which every seminary graduate ought to know. If he no longer remembers them, they probably were not very helpful anyway. After all, one learns to preach by preaching.


The Ecumenical Movement And The Lutheran Church, Hermann Sasse Feb 1960

The Ecumenical Movement And The Lutheran Church, Hermann Sasse

Concordia Theological Monthly

Church history knows of great movements which sweep through the whole of Christendom, irrespective of national and denominational lines, and bring about profound changes in the inner life and the outward appearance of all churches. Such movements were Pietism and Rationalism in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the great European Awakening in the 19th century. Such a movement is the Ecumenical Movement, which in our time is penetrating all churches of Christendom, including Rome and the Eastern churches. The effects may prove to be as far-reaching as those of the great movement of the 16th century which we call …

The Altpreussische Union. Its Status And Significance Today With Special Reference To The Ecumenical Movement, Matthias Schulz Jr., Siegfried J. Lehmann Jan 1960

The Altpreussische Union. Its Status And Significance Today With Special Reference To The Ecumenical Movement, Matthias Schulz Jr., Siegfried J. Lehmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Altpreussische Union of 1817 is not only a past event of historical interest, but it also deserves to be recognized as a significant factor in its effect on the contemporary scene. It continues to be effective in the church organization known as the EKU (Evangelische Kirche der Union), which stems from this union and through it exerts a definite influence on the life of the church in Germany. Moreover, it continues to be even more effective by reason of the principles on which it was based and which by no means apply only to Germany.


Editorial, Martin H. Franzmann Jan 1960

Editorial, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Even a theological journal begins a new volume with the beginning of the civil year, not with the beginning of the church year. Strictly and theologically speaking, the 6th of January is not so incisive a caesura in the rhythm of our life as is the first Sunday in Advent. But it is significant, this 6th of January. It reminds us that, though we taste the powers of the world to come, we taste them in this world. It reminds us that though the night is far spent and God's day has drawn near, we walk "as in the day," …


Preaching In Lent, Richard R. Caemmerer Jan 1960

Preaching In Lent, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

In one sense Lenten preaching needs no special focus. Preaching should be just that in every season of the Christian year, the good news of the grace of God in Jesus Christ. In the weeks which the church through many centuries has set apart for the special consideration of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ, this preaching should be especially vigorous and explicit.

Toward An Understanding Of Our New Sister Synod In India, M. H. Grumm Jan 1960

Toward An Understanding Of Our New Sister Synod In India, M. H. Grumm

Concordia Theological Monthly

At the San Francisco convention of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod the India Evangelical Lutheran Church was accepted in fellowship as a sister synod. Though this young church is still heavily dependent on our American church for support in money and missionary personnel, it has been accepted as a church in its own right, and it is following a phased plan working toward its own support. The American church may feel a justified sense of satisfaction in seeing a small but living church established in this faraway country through the work of its Mission, and it can also justly …


The Unity Of The Church And The Message Of Christ, Carl Fr. Wisløff Jan 1960

The Unity Of The Church And The Message Of Christ, Carl Fr. Wisløff

Concordia Theological Monthly

I shall try to throw a little light on this subject by presenting for your consideration seven theses. The first four deal with important basic New Testament ideas. The next two set forth important, but often neglected, central truths of the Lutheran Reformation. The final thesis attempts to draw a conclusion.

America, Listen And Live! A Special Lutheran Hour Address, Oswald C. Hoffmann Dec 1959

America, Listen And Live! A Special Lutheran Hour Address, Oswald C. Hoffmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is not my purpose to comment on the political results of Mr. Khruschchev's visit to the United States. I am a firm adherent of the doctrine of two realms, limiting the spheres of church and state. It is a Biblical truth, as well as a fact of human history, that God rules in both realms, although He does so in different ways.

Fasting And Bodily Preparation - A Fine Outward Training, Walter F. Fischer Dec 1959

Fasting And Bodily Preparation - A Fine Outward Training, Walter F. Fischer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The statement, "Fasting and bodily preparation are indeed a fine outward training," was used by Luther with immediate reference to preparation for Holy Communion. However, to understand this statement in its proper perspective, we need to consider the purpose of fasting as it appears in the Scriptures and in the worship of the church. This paper is an attempt to present such a survey with conclusions as to the specific purposes and benefits of Eucharistic fasting.

The Theology Of Synagog Architecture (As Reflected In The Excavation Reports), Martin H. Scharlemann Dec 1959

The Theology Of Synagog Architecture (As Reflected In The Excavation Reports), Martin H. Scharlemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The origins of the synagog are lost in the obscurity of the past. There seem to be adequate reasons for believing that this religious institution did not exist in pre-Exilic times. Whether, however, the synagog came into being during the dark years of the Babylonian Captivity, or whether it dates back only to the early centuries after the return of the Jews to Palestine, is a matter of uncertainty. The oldest dated evidence we have for the existence of a synagog was found in Egypt in 1902 and consists of a marble slab which records the dedication of such a …
