The Inclusiveness And The Exclusiveness Of The Gospel, As Seen In The Apostolate Of Paul, Martin H. Franzmann May 1956

The Inclusiveness And The Exclusiveness Of The Gospel, As Seen In The Apostolate Of Paul, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our Lord promised the Spirit to His Apostles and said that when He came, He would convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment (John 16:8). He was indicating thereby that the work of His Apostles would involve the same conflict and struggle with self-assertive man that had taken place in His own disputes with the Pharisees; for, as Schlatter has pointed out, these three: sin, righteousness, and judgment, are central concerns of Pharisaic piety. The Epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians is the chief document of the struggle within the church between the Gospel of …


The World Council Of Churches, Gilbert A. Thiele May 1956

The World Council Of Churches, Gilbert A. Thiele

Concordia Theological Monthly

The World Council of Churches represents the confluence of previous ecumenical movements. The two most important streams of activity that merged in this broader and deeper endeavor are the Faith and Order Movement (Conference) and the Life and Work Conference. Each of these deserves our attention.

An Open Letter To The Publisher Of "Masonic Inspiration.", Paul M. Bretscher Apr 1956

An Open Letter To The Publisher Of "Masonic Inspiration.", Paul M. Bretscher

Concordia Theological Monthly

This is a reply to your articles which appeared in Masonic Inspiration (April and July 1955), the one headed "Martin Luther- Our Illustrious Brother Mason" and the other "An Open Letter to Lutherans Spreading Anti-Masonic Propaganda." In the latter you attempt to provide evidence that though Luther may not have been a Mason himself, the friends who kidnapped and brought him safely to the Wartburg were members of the guild of Steinmetzen and therefore, so you conclude, Masons. In the same article you also attempt to refute objections raised by some Lutherans against religious and unchristian aspects and teachings of …


Cranmer's Legacy, Carl S. Meyer Apr 1956

Cranmer's Legacy, Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

At Oxford in the nineteenth century at the height of the Tractarian Movement, the Evangelicals believed that the Tractarians had shown themselves opposed to the principles of the Reformation. Partially to counteract this movement a proposal was made to erect a memorial to the Reformation martyrs. Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley- the three men who had been burnt opposite Balliol College -were to be honored especially. Latimer and Ridley had died together there on October 16, 1555. Five months later, on the 21st of March, 1556, "in the same place where Ridley and Latimer had suffered," Thomas Cranmer was burnt. The …

Luther Speaks English, Lewis W. Spitz Mar 1956

Luther Speaks English, Lewis W. Spitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

On Reformation Day, 1955, the first volume of the great American edition of Luther's works was presented to the public. When complete with its fifty-five volumes, it will be by far the largest English edition, a truly outstanding monument of Luther scholarship and a major contribution to the mighty Luther renaissance in our century.


Luther On Faith, W. M. Oesch Mar 1956

Luther On Faith, W. M. Oesch

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Reformation unleashed religious subjectivism and was a precursor of the egocentricity of the modem age. A Roman Catholic theologian who is perhaps the most eminent living dogmatician of his communion makes this claim. Michael Schmaus in his Katholische, Dogmatik (Vol 4, Part 1, 1952) holds that the type of faith which Luther expressed and propagated disregards all religious authority which is not centered in the direct approach of the soul to God.

The Rsv And The Small Catechism, George V. Schick Mar 1956

The Rsv And The Small Catechism, George V. Schick

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the theological literature of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod it has been the practice to quote Scripture passages in English in the form in which they appear in the King James Version of 1611. The revision of 1881-1885 and the revision of 1901 in no way affected this custom. Neither achieved any great measure of popularity. The situation appears to be somewhat different in the case of the Holy Bible, Revised Standard Version, which appeared upon the market in 1952 under copyright of the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United …

Lntertestamental Studies 1946-1955, Raymond F. Surburg

Concordia Theological Monthly

Modern Biblical studies stress the importance of an acquaintance with the era between the Testaments as a necessary aid in understanding the New Testament. It is the time span from the Medo-Persian to the Roman period. Between these two epochs is the Grecian period. During these four centuries the seat of world empire moved from the East to the West, from Asia to Europe. These years witnessed the rise of cities with Greek names in Palestine and gave us the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. It was in the Grecian period that the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes arose …

He Descended Into Hell. An Interpretation Of 1 Peter 3:18-20, Martin H. Scharlemann Feb 1956

He Descended Into Hell. An Interpretation Of 1 Peter 3:18-20, Martin H. Scharlemann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every Sunday our congregations confess their Christian faith. Each time they use the Apostles' Creed they include in their statement of belief the words "He descended into hell." In recent years this short sentence has come under considerable discussion within our own circles. There has been some question as to the significance of these words as they are used in the Creed. In view of this situation, it is most desirable to re-examine the desconsus in the light of Holy Scripture.

This is to say that in order to preserve the doctrine of justification in its purity. there must be added to it the Scripture teaching that God imparts and communicates to men the forgiveness of sins procured by Christ for the entire world in no other way than by the Gospel and the Sacraments. Therefore the Biblical doctrine of justification stands and falls with the Biblical doctrine of the means of grace.


The Two Realms And The "Separation Of Church And State" In American Society, Ernest B. Koenker Jan 1956

The Two Realms And The "Separation Of Church And State" In American Society, Ernest B. Koenker

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the dramatic episode before Pilate, Caesar's procurator, Christ said: "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is My kingdom not from hence" (John 18:36). Christ unquestionably possessed a kingdom, one of power, righteousness, wealth, stability, beauty, but now as He stands before Caesar, He seems to be dispossessed. So great was His extremity that the primus inter pares of the small band, the very one who shortly before had wielded a sword to save Him, an …

Rudolf Bultmann's Concept Of Myth And The New Testament, Oscar Cullmann Jan 1956

Rudolf Bultmann's Concept Of Myth And The New Testament, Oscar Cullmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Is it necessary to add a new contribution to the dossier, already too voluminous, of the debate revolving around the publication of Rudolf Bultmann, former professor on the faculty of Protestant theology at Marburg, titled The New Testament and Mythology? This small pamphlet, which may be considered a manifesto and has since been reproduced by the author in a slightly different form, appeared for the first time in 1941 under the title Offenbarung und Heilsgeschehen. The purpose of the author is to make the New Testament language accessible to the modern mind by eliminating what he calls the "myth" and …

Our Anniversaries (1855-1955) (1930-1955), Walter R. Roehrs

Concordia Theological Monthly

The current issue of the CONCORDIA THEOLOGICAL MONTHLY greets our readers in festive colors. There is ample reason for donning holiday dress. The year that is drawing to a close marks two milestones in its career. As the direct lineal descendant of Lehre und Wehre (1855) our journal is observing its one-hundredth birthday: It bears the marks of age and the changes that come with growing old. In its younger days it spoke to its readers in the language of Luther as Lehre und Wehre and continued to do so for many years. Also in German the homiletical section had …
