Some Word Studies In The Apology, Jaroslav Pelikan Aug 1953

Some Word Studies In The Apology, Jaroslav Pelikan

Concordia Theological Monthly

"When I use a word," said Humpty-Dumpty in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less." In the history of Christian theology the tendency to do this has become almost an occupational disease, often making it difficult to understand theologians of the present and almost impossible to understand theologians of the past. Nor does this apply only to thinkers like Berdyaev, who found it necessary to coin his vocabulary as he went along, or to groups like the Gnostics, who sometimes seem deliberately to have chosen nonsense syllables to …

Some Observations On Current Cosmological Theories, Paul A. Zimmerman Jul 1953

Some Observations On Current Cosmological Theories, Paul A. Zimmerman

Concordia Theological Monthly

It has been rightly said that there are fashions in science as in all other fields. This fact has been demonstrated lately by the large number of articles dealing with cosmological problems that have appeared in the last two years in both popular and scientific journals. There has been striking evidence of increased interest in cosmology, the study of the universe, and in cosmogony, the study of the origin of the universe and the world. One of the most popular programs of the British Broadcasting System in 1950 was a series of lectures on the origin of the world and …

Leiturgia-An Opus Magnum In The Making, Walter E. Buszin Jun 1953

Leiturgia-An Opus Magnum In The Making, Walter E. Buszin

Concordia Theological Monthly

The liturgical revival which is wending its way through the churches of Christendom today has made its influence felt also within the Lutheran Church. This movement is not chiefly a seeking after forms and ceremonies, nor is it merely a reaction against irreverent and amorphous worship practices. While excesses are to be noted within the movement, it is hardly just and fair to regard these as inevitable and essential earmarks of this liturgical revival, since revivals and movements in areas other than the liturgical likewise suffer because of the intemperate endeavors of a zealotistic minority.

Brief Exegesis Of 2 Thess. 2:1-12 With Guideline For The Application Of The Prophecy Contained Therein, Henry Hamann Jun 1953

Brief Exegesis Of 2 Thess. 2:1-12 With Guideline For The Application Of The Prophecy Contained Therein, Henry Hamann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The two different quotations from two different scholars at the beginning of this article show very clearly, each in its own way, the spirit and the frame of mind with which the problem of Antichrist should be studied. The first is from an article on Antichrist in Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics. [The doctrine that the Pope was the Antichrist] came to be more and more only learned pedantry, and the belief no longer possessed the power of forming history. With this last phase the interest in the legend entirely disappeared, and it [the legend of Antichrist) was now …

M., at Springfield, Ill., there was called to his eternal reward a churchman, pastor, educator, editor, and administrator of our Church who was highly esteemed both at home and abroad-John Henry Charles Fritz.

The Common Service Adapted According To Rsv Principles, Arthur Carl Piepkorn May 1953

The Common Service Adapted According To Rsv Principles, Arthur Carl Piepkorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

Here with a committee of last semester's culture-hour group, ''Twentieth Century Worship," seeks to demonstrate in an actual worship experience the problems that the introduction of the Revised Standard Version in the worship of the Church would bring with it. It involves more than substituting a different text for the Epistle and the Holy Gospel. The Lutheran rite is thoroughly Biblical. A modification of the vernacular Biblical basis requires a thoroughgoing revision of the whole service, ordinary and propers, collects and creed as well as lessons and psalmody. This service represents an attempt at such a revision.

We Conquer Death, Eduard Ellwein May 1953

We Conquer Death, Eduard Ellwein

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the golden sun emerges out of the ocean, he casts a shaft of his glorious light across the expanse of the water. The glorious reflection of an unspeakably greater light rests upon the Gospel of St. John: the certainty of our victory over death, the believer's assurance that he has conquered death and possesses eternal life as a present reality. To believe on the Son means to have eternal life.


Are We Really Preaching The Gospel?, Elmer A. Kettner May 1953

Are We Really Preaching The Gospel?, Elmer A. Kettner

Concordia Theological Monthly

With all of our glorying in the Gospel and our striving to retain purity of doctrine, is it possible that there is too little preaching of the Gospel in The Lutheran Church -Missouri Synod? It's not only possible; I fear that it's highly probable. This is not a blanket accusation against every pastor in Synod. One can judge only from the sermons that one hears and reads. Nor is this written to be sensational or critical. In this respect I am perhaps "the chief of sinners"; I have sometimes by-passed the Gospel. The Scriptures remind us to "exhort one another …


Some Phases Of "After His Kind" In The Light Of Modem Science, August C. Rehwaldt May 1953

Some Phases Of "After His Kind" In The Light Of Modem Science, August C. Rehwaldt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Some would estimate the number of species of animals to be about 1,073,000. Others say that there are about 3,000,000 species of animals. The wide range of difference between these two estimates is due to the diversity of opinion as to the concept "species." Since evolution is the background of modern biology, the term species is accordingly defined as an evolving group and net as an aggregation with set bounds and limits. Darwin's Origin of Species takes this view. Opposed to this view is that of the Bible, which speaks of natural groups of plants and animals and calls such …

The Great Physician, Frederic Niedner Apr 1953

The Great Physician, Frederic Niedner

Concordia Theological Monthly

When God made man, He used the humblest material and made a supreme creature. Great artists have dipped their brushes into pigments and have painted upon canvas figures that seemed to live. God took the dust of the ground and made of it a body that really lived. And when the Creator had breathed into this body's nostrils the breath of life, man became a living soul. This man's body was fearfully and wonderfully made, perfect in its form and consummate in its functions. Man was possessed of health from head to foot, in mind and body. There was no …

Thinking Clearly On The Rsv, Arthur Katt Apr 1953

Thinking Clearly On The Rsv, Arthur Katt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Every new translation of the Holy Bible has met with opposition. "Whenever a translation is made, the question of its authority as over against the authority of the original or of earlier translations naturally arises." This was the experience of St. Jerome back in the 4th and 5th centuries, when he produced the Vulgate. "At first his translation was met with antagonism, and it was even declared to be heretical." This was true particularly also of our beloved, time-honored King James Version. It took nearly half a century for it to find general acceptance, and quite a bit of the …

The Significance Of Luther's Hermeneutics For The Protestant Reformation, Raymond P. Surburg Apr 1953

The Significance Of Luther's Hermeneutics For The Protestant Reformation, Raymond P. Surburg

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Protestant Reformation, called by Roman Catholics the Protestant Revolt, is generally conceded to have been one of the most significant movements in the last two thousand years of world history. Historians who have treated the Reformation have interpreted it from at least four distinct points of view: the religious-political, the rationalist, the liberal-romantic, and the economic-evolutionary. A current scholar, Rosenstock-Huessy, lists the Protestant Reformation as the first of four political revolutions occurring between 1517 and 1918.
