A Review Of Von Weizsäcker's Am Anfang, August C. Rehwaldt

Concordia Theological Monthly

During the winter of 1919/20 Victor von Weizsȁcker delivered a series of lectures on natural philosophy at the University of Heidelberg. Because of conditions of war only a fragment of these lectures has been preserved. This was published under the title: Am Anfang schuf Gott Himmel und Erde. The opening sentences of the lecture proper are: "We begin by referring to a particular historical document, the oldest, perhaps, in existence, the creation account of the Bible. We shall see that it contains all the most important problems of natural philosophy." This paper is an attempt to share some of Weizsȁcker’s …

Career Of The Reformer, Theodore Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Under this subtitle four volumes of the new American edition of Luther's Works will be issued; the first one, Vol. :31, has just come from the press. (The earlier volumes [1-30], four of which have appeared to date, will contain Luther's expositions of various Biblical books.) These four volumes (31-34) will contain what are usually called Luther's Reformation writings: "All the significant and representative writings of Luther which are concerned with his career as a reformer" (31, x f.). The purpose is to show in his own words why and how he became the Reformer, what he did for the …

The Hymn And The Liturgy, Harold W. Scheibert

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Church is a liturgical church. It is in the mainstream of Western Christianity and uses a clearly defined form of the Western Liturgy. The Lutheran Church is also a singing church. Born with it in the 16th century were hymns that are still favorites of Christians everywhere. Lutherans have always used their hymns in their public liturgical worship. They still do so today. There must therefore be a relationship between the hymn and the liturgy. The hymns ought to have the same goal as the liturgy and the liturgy as the hymns. Specifically the hymns used with the …

The Modern Papacy, Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Under the caption "The Modern Papacy" the popes of the last century are included. A span of a hundred years (112 to be exact) is long enough to permit one to see and evaluate the main events, to delineate the chief movements and trends, and to point out the main currents of thought. We suffer in part from contemporaneousness, but the contemporary within the perspective of a century may not be in too distorted a focus.

Justification By Faith In Modern Theology (Continued), Henry P. Hamann Jr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

We shall begin the final installment of this article with the judgment that one of the truths about justification that St. Paul holds is that justification is complete before there is such a thing as faith. This fact of Paul's teaching has been known, particularly in the theological literature of "Missouri Lutherans," as objective justification. The term is not a good one, chiefly for the reason that the counterpart to it, subjective justification, if it means anything, should mean a justification that goes on in the believer, a thing which no "Missourian" ever held.

The Dumb Prophet, Walter R. Roehrs

Concordia Theological Monthly

The prophets were God's spokesmen. He sent them to speak. They were not to be "dumb dogs." But in the case of the prophet Ezekiel, unique among his fellows in a number of other respects, God made it a part of his assignment to be dumb and not to speak.

Aids To Bible Study Concordances, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

The recent publication of Nelson's Complete Concordance to the Revised Standard Version of the Bible focuses attention on Biblical concordances in general as a necessary tool for vital interpretation. This brief study aims to present a historical survey and answers in some small measure questions frequently asked by students: What is a good concordance? How can I use a concordance profitably?

Justification By Faith In Modern Theology (Continued), Henry P. Hamann Jr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

The LXX does not afford us much help as we try to understand what St. Paul means by faith, except in one respect, which will be clear later. There is, of course, in the Old Testament the apostle's great example of faith, the patriarch Abraham. The Psalms, moreover, are replete with expressions which are the accents of faith. As Stewart has well said, "The thing itself can be traced everywhere from Genesis to Malachi," and the same writer quite correctly points to Heb. 11 and its many examples of faith drawn from the Old Testament. But the term itself is …

Men In The Service Of God, Rudolph F. Norden

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the Epistle to the Hebrews Jesus Christ is declared to be "the same yesterday, today, and forever." Unlike our Master and Chief Shepherd, we, His underlings, are subject to time as we progress toward the world to come. The usual division of time into past, present, and future unites us all in common experience. There is a longer or shorter past for all age groups here represented, the same present to challenge us all, and a bright future for each one, whether he face dawn, noon, or dusk in life's little day.

When we say time affects us all, …

The Theology Of Norman Vincent Peale, William Lehmann Jr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

Norman Vincent Peale is the teacher of a method which he calls the "Art of Living." This method has had great popular appeal, not only among the laity but also among the clergy. The purpose of this study is not to evaluate the method as such, but rather to consider the question which must be asked and answered before intelligent evaluation can take place: "What is Peale's theology?"

Justification By Faith In Modern Theology (Continued), Henry P. Hamann Jr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

In accordance with the writer's convictions concerning the source of St. Paul's teachings mentioned in the previous article we begin the investigation of the present topic with the questions: What might Paul be expected to mean by words like "righteous" (δίχαιοζ), "righteousness" (διχαιοςύνη) , "justify" (διχαιοῦν) on the basis of his knowledge of the Old Testament? What effect would the use of these terms and related ones in Aramaic by the rabbis be expected to have on his own usage?

Justification By Faith In Modern Theology, Henry P. Hamann Jr.

Concordia Theological Monthly

In one of his justly famous Gesammelte Aufsaetze entitled Die Rechtfertigungslehre im Lichte der Geschichte des Protestantis1mus Karl Holl quotes the scholar Lagarde as declaring that justification as a doctrine was dead-this was in 1873 - and that no one lived by it any longer. The far more pressing task, moderns tell us, is to show to modern man that there is a God. Whether there is a God at all is the problem he has to face, not something about God, say, that God justifies. To this criticism of the very raison d’ȇtre of this study we should reply …
