The World Council Of Churches: A Theological Appraisal, F. E. Mayer, Richard Z. Meyer Mar 1953

The World Council Of Churches: A Theological Appraisal, F. E. Mayer, Richard Z. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Throughout the history of the divided Church there have been earnest efforts to reunite the separated communions. The impetus for such a reunion usually was strongest in a period either of prosperity or of opposition. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the Church experienced an era of revivalism and expansion, and shortly the former confessional boundaries were ignored, and in spite of divergent doctrinal views denominations united in organizing the several national Bible Societies and large Missionary Associations. When shortly afterwards a wave of secularism swept over the world, the various communions again set aside their confessional differences and …

The Confirmation Instruction Of Children, Harold Dorn Mar 1953

The Confirmation Instruction Of Children, Harold Dorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

Purpose. We are all interested in improving our confirmation instruction. It was thought that one of the most practical ideas to find out how we might improve our individual techniques would be to make a survey of what our brethren were doing in the field. Such a study would indicate what materials and procedures were in use, our principal difficulties, and such matters that needed special study. The study might also point up new ideas and trends.


The Marks Of The Theologian, Martin H. Franzmann Feb 1953

The Marks Of The Theologian, Martin H. Franzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

A stewardess on a plane once asked me what I was. I answered, not quite without malice I am afraid, that I was a theologian. She didn't commit herself too strongly on that, merely opining that I was probably the first theologian that she had ever "carried"; but she seemed impressed. I have since wondered whether she should have been; by the standards that govern the creation of airlines and all the other streamlined paraphernalia, physical and spiritual, of our civilization, she shouldn't have been. For the theologian is by Biblical definition a fool, a child, and a slave; and …

The Order Of Matins, Timothy Strelow Feb 1953

The Order Of Matins, Timothy Strelow

Concordia Theological Monthly

The corporate worship of the Christian Church has always been associated with certain forms. The spirit of worship, of communion with God, in all ages has expressed itself in the use of various forms and orders of worship. It is, however, a fact that there are many who use these forms of worship with a great lack of appreciation or understanding. Often the so-called minor forms of worship are rejected. This negative attitude toward forms of worship may quite frequently be due to the gross mutilation of the pure forms. A negative attitude toward Matins may also be due to …


The Grace Of God Gives Us Christ For Justification, Gerhard Schulze-Kadelbach Feb 1953

The Grace Of God Gives Us Christ For Justification, Gerhard Schulze-Kadelbach

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our theme is a confessional statement. The statement as a whole as well as each of its terms makes sense only as a confession. We must consider this for a moment at the very outset. In doing so, our thoughts tend in two directions. The realization that we are dealing with a confessional statement implies above all that the assertion of our theme is possible only within the Church. The little word "us" points unmistakably to this fact: "The grace of God gives us Christ for justification."

Grace Of God In The Old Testament (Concluded), Walter R. Roehrs Jan 1953

Grace Of God In The Old Testament (Concluded), Walter R. Roehrs

Concordia Theological Monthly

After making a rapid survey of the terms that the Old Testament employs to denote the grace of God, we need to say that these words are not the fleeting sound of empty vocables. Nor do they describe an abstraction in the nature of a Platonic idea. They tell what God does to save men from the curse of their separation from Him and to bring them a life in blessed communion with Him. Our next task is, therefore, to trace how the grace of God entered the lives of the Old Testament believers to bring them salvation.

Luther On Creation, Henry W. Reimann Jan 1953

Luther On Creation, Henry W. Reimann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Although he was bred in a Church and society in which men tried with their works to appease the God whom theologians and philosophers had carefully thought out, Martin Luther returned to the Gospel. Here God took the initiative to rescue and redeem His sinful creatures through His Son. This has rightly been called a Copernican revolution in the realm of religion. Just as Copernicus started with a geocentric, but reached a heliocentric conception of the physical world, Luther began with an anthropocentric or egocentric conception of religion, but came to a theocentric conception. In this sense, Luther is a …


The Holy Bible, Revised Standard Version, George V. Schick Jan 1953

The Holy Bible, Revised Standard Version, George V. Schick

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the fall of 1952 Thomas Nelson and Sons placed on the market the Revised Standard Version of the complete Holy Bible. The New Testament section remains substantially the same as the one which already appeared in 1946, but a few changes of a lesser import were given room when this text was issued in combination with the Old Testament translation. The latter, however, is new and represents the results of years of intensive research by the Revision Committee.


Our English Bible, E. J. Saleska Jan 1953

Our English Bible, E. J. Saleska

Concordia Theological Monthly

Many Biblical scholars are agreed that September 30, 1952, will go down in American church history as a red-letter day. It was the publication date of the highly publicized Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Special services commemorating the event were held in more than three thousand communities. Coupled with this was the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the first printing, in Mainz, Germany, of the famous Gutenberg Bible. In recognition of this event the United States Government placed on sale on September 30 a special commemorative three-cent stamp.

The Grace Of God In The Old Testament, Walter R. Roehrs Dec 1952

The Grace Of God In The Old Testament, Walter R. Roehrs

Concordia Theological Monthly

The above topic asserts that the Old Testament does not only proclaim a God of wrath, but also makes known a gracious God. Man exists and can endure God's presence only because God's wrath does not annihilate him.


Keep Yourselves In The Love Of God, William J. Hassold Dec 1952

Keep Yourselves In The Love Of God, William J. Hassold

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Letter of Jude is one of the most polemical portions of the New Testament. The purpose of Jude, the brother of the Lord, in writing this letter was to appeal to his readers "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (v.3).

We Love Because He Loved Us First (1 John 4:7-21), Victor Bartling

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our design in this paper is to present a practical exposition of a Scripture passage in which we who work in the Church hear God speaking to us about that which must live in our hearts if our plans and programs, our skills and techniques, our studies and preaching and teaching, are to enjoy God's approval and blessing.

In Memoriam Joh. Albrecht Bengel, Jaroslav Pelikan

Concordia Theological Monthly

November 2, 1952, is the two-hundredth anniversary of the death of Johann Albrecht Bengel, a leading figure in the history of Lutheran theology. He has exerted an influence over subsequent Biblical scholarship comparable to that of Luther and Flacius in the sixteenth century, the Buxtorfs in the seventeenth, von Hofmann in the nineteenth, and Schlatter in the twentieth. Until a generation or two ago his Gnomon Novi Testamenti was a commonplace in the libraries of the evangelical clergy; and some of the works which have come to replace it, like Dean Alford's commentary and the Expositors Greek Testament, are expansions …

The Pastor After The Heart Of God, C. August Hardt

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the first of his Pastoral Letters (1 Tim. 3:1) Paul calls the office of a bishop (ἐπιοχοπή) a good work, χαλὸν ε̈ογον. That is a brief but beautiful and most significant characterization of the Christian ministry.

Hymns For Thomasius Epistles, Adalbert Kretzmann Nov 1952

Hymns For Thomasius Epistles, Adalbert Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Thomasius Epistles make a most interesting series to supplement the old Hieronymic series. The following "Hymns and Sermon Texts" was prepared for the use of the teachers, choirmasters, and organists at the Church of St. Luke in Chicago. The teachers are in this way enabled to practice the hymns and do preliminary and introductory work on the sermon text in the classrooms. Choirmasters can match their music with the sermon texts and hymns. The organist has an opportunity to select preludes, voluntaries, postludes, etc., in the most efficient and proper manner. The entire program worked out in this way …


Lutheranism In India, Herbert M. Zorn Nov 1952

Lutheranism In India, Herbert M. Zorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

Lutherans in India have become a considerable factor among Christians. The first Protestant missionaries, Ziegenbalg and Pluetschau, were Lutherans. Lutheran missionaries had a strong influence in the early work of some of the non-Lutheran missions in South India. They can be found in the southern tip near Nagercoil, north and east of Calcutta near the Burma border, in central India. and even in Pakistan. There are Lutherans who speak Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Santali, Briya and several other languages and dialects. There are missions with only a little over two hundred members, and missions which have been replaced almost completely …
