Toward An Evangelical Philosophy Of Science: The Historical And Recent Background, Oscar T. Walle

Concordia Theological Monthly

The general title of our discussions indicates that we are interested in the search for a unifying discipline or point of view which may bridge or fuse what Carl Henry calls. "the cleavage between science and religion . . . one of the defacing characteristics of our culture." This author ably states the case when he says, "Evangelical theology, if it is to make a major contribution to synthesis, must propound a Christian philosophy of science tracing the implications of the sovereignty of God for all branches of science." It is the purpose of this presentation to call attention to …

Karl Heim: Panentheism And The Space Of God, Robert C. Whittmore

Concordia Theological Monthly

Such is the secularism of our century and our society that whoever today wishes to raise the question of God must first find someone interested. Theology in our time is largely a talking of priests and theologians to themselves and a handful of philosophers. Religion is universally tolerated and widely ignored; occasionally it is discussed-dispassionately. But the rest is silence. Rare indeed is the person who now takes religion seriously enough to denounce it. The militant atheist and the anticlerical of earlier ages are gone, and in their place is the serene secularist, secure in the conviction "that he alone …

Theology And Science, Paul M. Bretscher

Concordia Theological Monthly

Less than a generation ago most people noted in science only its immediate anthropological implication. They argued whether man was descended from simian stock or, regardless of his ancestry, whether he was the inevitable outcome of predetermining causes. In either case the concept of God was next to irrelevant, and Christian theology seemed on its way out.

Do We Need Another Reformation?, Lewis W. Spitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

In view of the tremendous progress of our age in all areas of human endeavor and the problems it has created, the question has been asked: "Do we need another Reformation?" After all, nearly four and a half centuries have passed since Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg.

The Christian Answer To The Ethical Problem: A Study Of Catechism Question Number 170, Dale E. Griffin

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Reformation doctrine of justification by faith without the deeds of the Law has been frequently questioned and declared to be injurious to the moral and ethical lives of the children of God.

Why The Reformation Occurred In Germany, Gerhard Ritter

Concordia Theological Monthly

At the end of the Middle Ages, the moral prestige of the old papal church was severely shaken in all the countries of Europe. Open criticism of its moral shortcomings and its organizational defects had been going on for centuries. To the diverse splinter movements of heretical sects (which were never wholly suppressed) had been recently added the great reform movements of the Wyclifites and the Hussites. But even they had brought about no lasting and widespread upheaval. Ultimately the old hierarchy had always prevailed. Why then did the Germans, a people slow to be aroused, fond of order, and …

Engagement And Marriage: A Review Article, David S. Schuller

Concordia Theological Monthly

Europeans have long charged that Americans are the "most married," the "youngest married," and the "most divorced" of any people in the civilized world. What concerns us most is that the charge is true. We do have one of the highest proportions of population married. Our marriage rate is fifty per cent higher than that of a country such as France or Switzerland. It is double that of Mexico or Ireland! We are so eager to marry that we marry at an earlier age with every passing decade. Just within the last ten years the age at which men marry …

The Elizabethan Settlement And The English Church., Charles F. Mullett

Concordia Theological Monthly

In surveying the Elizabethan Settlement and the Church of England one can do no better than introduce his remarks with a flash of insight from the Rev. Laurence Sterne. According to "my Uncle Toby" in Tristram Shandy, everything in this world has wit in it, and instruction too, if we can but find it out. That the Elizabethan Settlement illustrates this wisdom may be established by two "texts" from our own country.

The Church's Concern About Sex Attitudes, Harry G. Coiner

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is safe to say, and almost trite, that no word in the English language which describes something that is good and beautiful in itself has come to be associated with as much evil and impurity as has the word "sex."

The Sermon And The Propers, Harry G. Coiner

Concordia Theological Monthly

There are at least three major considerations connected with this noble work of Pastor Lindemann which should be shared at the outset with the reader of this review. They are (1) the liturgical church (especially the Lutheran Church) needs these volumes; (2) the worship of the church will be blessed by the use of the material in them; and (3) these volumes represent a living gift which one, who now is with the saints triumphant, wished with all his heart to bequeath to the church on earth.

Parish Preaching, George W. Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Only with difficulty can the propers of some summer Sundays after Trinity be made to demonstrate a certain thematic unity. And not every issue of a theological monthly should be expected to develop a common subject or a general theme. But volume III of the Reverend Fred H. Lindemann's work, The Sermon and the Propers, reviewed in this issue, gently urges that since "our Liturgy offers a set of Propers for each Sunday, we ought to make the best of what we have" (p. 47). Comment on this issue of the MONTHLY should attempt to do no less.

The Word Of The Lord Grew: The Historical Character Of The New Testament Word, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Word of the Lord grew" -three times in the Book of Acts Luke uses this sentence to sum up a period of the history of the first church (Acts 6:7; 12:24; 19:20). These words are a telling expression of the Biblical conception of the divine Word. Our Lord Himself compared the Word to a seed that is sown and sprouts and grows: 'The seed is the Word of God" (Luke 8:11). The Word of the Lord is a power and is active; it "prevails mightily," as Luke puts it in one of the passages just referred to (Acts 19:20). …

What About Vestments For Pastors? (Concluded), Arthur Carl Piepkorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

The church's feeling that those who minister at her altars should be vested in white - although colored overvestments might be worn -is ancient and persistent. This feeling is based not merely upon esthetic considerations and upon the custom of the period but also upon the symbolism of the Sacred Scriptures (Matt.17:2; 28:3; Mark 9:3; 16:5; Acts 1:10; Rev. 3:5, 18; 4:4; 7:9, 14; 15:6; 19:8). This symbolism, of course, does not constitute any prescription.
