The Seventeenth Century Dogmaticians As Philosophers, A. C. Ahlen

Concordia Theological Monthly

To assert that philosophy and theology are not identical would obviously be unnecessary in addressing myself to the present group; but to remind you that there are vast areas of common interest shared by these two disciplines is probably not superfluous. Living as we do in a time when reason is often ridiculed and up-to-the- minute theologians present highly rationalized arguments in favor of antirational views, we need to remind ourselves that philosophy is inescapable. The moment we reflect critically upon our experiences and beliefs, we begin to philosophize.

What Luther Says: A Review, Theodore Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The last 80 years have seen a great revival of interest in Reformation history and as a result an ever-increasing research in the facts of those times. Its beginning came with the preparations for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of Luther's birth in 1883. More especially, however, this new Luther and Reformation research was launched by those who were opposed to Luther and to Protestantism in general. They knew what this celebration would initiate: literature describing, defending, promoting Protestant interests. In order to meet and to stop this, they did-the very best they could to promote it!

Spiritual Marriage In The Early Church: A Suggested Interpretation Of 1 Cor. 7:36-38, Roland H. Sedoldt

Concordia Theological Monthly

There is evidence of the ascetic attitude in the early Christian Church.

The feeling grew that the ordinary life with its natural duties and obligations is incompatible with the life lived in the spirit. Possession of the spirit requires a life which is extraordinary, where there is no room for worldly affairs, particularly for marriage.

The Arnoldshain Theses On The Lord's Supper, Paul M. Bretscher

Concordia Theological Monthly

We are herewith submitting a translation of the Arnoldsbainer Abendmahlsthesen, followed by some concluding observations. These theses are the net result of discussions regarding the meaning of the Lord's Supper carried on between 1947 and 1957 by a commission of Lutheran, Reformed, and Union theologians representing the Evangelical Church of Germany. These theologians formulated and approved the theses after many deliberations November 1 and 2, 1957.

Confession Of Faith Of The Huria Kristen Batak Protestant, Dagny Ohlekopf

Concordia Theological Monthly

This Confession of Faith of the H. K. B. P. is the continuation of the confessions (creeds) already existing, namely, the three confessions of faith (creeds) which were already known to our Christian forefathers.

Spiritual Marriage In The Early Church: A Suggested Interpretation Of 1 Cor. 7:36-38, Roland H. Sedoldt

Concordia Theological Monthly

In his commentary on First Corinthians, Karl Heim writes concerning 7:36: "Now comes the passage the interpretation of which has always caused the greatest difficulties. We are especially handicapped in not having the list of questions which the Corinthians addressed to Paul."

The lack of conclusive materials to reconstruct the problem in Corinth has led to an oversimplification. The ancient exegetes interpreted this section as a father-daughter problem in permitting or prohibiting marriage. Until recent times this interpretation was almost universally adopted.

The Batak Protestant Christian Church, Jospeh Ellwanger

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the Batak Protestant Christian Church in Indonesia applied for membership in the Lutheran World Federation in 1951, one of the largest Christian church bodies in the non-West was catapulted out of relative obscurity into a limelight position on the stage of world Lutheranism. Some were quick to question the Lutheran character of the Batak Church. Chiefly they asked these questions: How can the Batak Church be Lutheran when it was founded by the Rhenish Mission Society, a combination of Lutheran and Reformed elements? And how can the Batak Church be Lutheran when it has not officially adopted the 16th-century …

A Lutheran Contribution To The Present Discussions On The Lord’S Supper, Hermann Sasse

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lord's Supper has again become one of the main issues among the churches of Christendom as well as within individual denominations. This is the result of two movements which, though deeply rooted in the 19th century, have shaped the life of all Christendom since the beginning of this century: the Liturgical and the Ecumenical Movement. Since the deepest motive underlying both is what has been called "the awakening of the Church in the souls," future church historians may regard them as branches of one great movement which, like all great movements in the Western Church (Reformation, Pietism, Rationalism, etc.), …

Aids To Bible Study: The Hebrew Old Testament, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is regrettable that Hebrew is gradually fading out of the academic picture. Seminaries are decreasing their requirements in this area, and its study is being left more and more to the elective inclinations of the student. To the remnant in Israel, however, this chapter in Aids to Bible Study is dedicated in the hope that it may encourage some to return to Zion and exhilarate others as they stand on the ramparts and catch the vision of fresh and exciting interpretive possibilities in their Hebrew texts.

History And Eschatology In Luke-Acts, Robert H. Smith

Concordia Theological Monthly

Fifty and seventy-five years ago the burning question in studies of Acts concerned the factual accuracy of Luke's record, which seemed to differ from, even to contradict, Paul's account in his epistles. The integrity of Luke was assailed by all but the most conservative. Source criticism was in full flood, and Acts was dissected and divided into tiny segments which were labeled "Jerusalem A" or "Jerusalem B" or "Antioch" or "Peter" or some such tag, depending on the exegete and his predilections. Some said that Luke could not have known what really happened. Others imagined that he knew but chose …

"The Freedom We Have In Christ.”, Lewis W. Spitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

The topic "The Freedom We Have in Christ" penetrates to the very heart of the Christian faith. Every word is significant. The keyword is "Christ." We shall first define the terms and then emphasize their theological import for the joy and comfort of the Christian.
