Sin As The Cause Of God's Wrath, Walter Nagel
Sin As The Cause Of God's Wrath, Walter Nagel
Concordia Theological Monthly
Every system of Christian doctrine and dogma treats the subjects of man's sin and its opposing element, God's wrath, as being in some way basic to an understanding of the Christian life. Both matters, however, receive their full due only in the theology of Luther and in our Confessions.

Three Aspects Of The Way Of Christ And The Church, Martin H. Franzmann
Three Aspects Of The Way Of Christ And The Church, Martin H. Franzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
In 1 Cor. 1:9 St. Paul characterizes the members of the Church as those who have been called by God into fellowship (communion) with His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. This fellowship is a total participation in the whole Christ, a participation which takes a peculiarly vivid and experiential form in Holy Communion (1 Cor.10:16 ff.).
A Look At Current Biblical Cosmologies, C. Gaenssle
A Look At Current Biblical Cosmologies, C. Gaenssle
Concordia Theological Monthly
The writer has long felt that the cosmological schemes found in standard Bible dictionaries, in many modern commentaries, and elsewhere (including even Webster's International. s. v. firmament) call imperatively for a little closer scrutiny. Indeed they are marked by some features so unnatural, in part so utterly fantastic that to anyone who is detached and uncommitted in his thinking they appear more like the product of wild and arbitrary fancy than of calm and objective inquiry.

Sola Gratia, J. W. Behnken
Sola Gratia, J. W. Behnken
Concordia Theological Monthly
To speak on the very important topic "Sola Gratia” within a period of fifteen minutes, and to do this within the framework of the highly significant general theme: "The Gospel establishes and maintains our Lutheran Church," is an assignment to which I cannot even remotely do justice. At best I can refer only to a few major points. We are concerned here with the chief principle of the Reformation. Dr. Luther declared: "The word of grace and forgiveness of sin teaches us that we are justified and saved solely through Christ, without our merit; this is the principal article from …
The New Testament Concept Of Fellowship, F. E. Mayer
The New Testament Concept Of Fellowship, F. E. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
This article will suggest three basic principles for a discussion of the term χοινωνία as employed in the New Testament. In view of the significance of this term in the present movement toward Lutheran Union and even World Ecumenicity, the Faculty of Concordia Seminary at St. Louis, Mo., devoted several hours to a discussion of the term on the basis of guidelines prepared by a committee. The material offered in this article is to a very large extent the author's attempt to recapture the salient points of the faculty's discussion. The article will discuss, first, the constancy of Biblical terminology …

Natural Law And The New Testament, Robert Hoeferkamp
Concordia Theological Monthly
This paper will attempt to investigate elements of Natural Law which are generally alleged to appear in the New Testament. Thus a historical discussion of Natural Law and the indication of the importance of the topic for current theological discussion are in order.
Give Attendance To Reading, Richard R. Caemmerer
Give Attendance To Reading, Richard R. Caemmerer
Concordia Theological Monthly
"Give attendance to reading," St. Paul exhorted Timothy. This exhortation has sometimes been applied to contemporary ministers as follows: Let them keep up their private studies, their reading of the Bible and of the many other materials which enrich their mind and ministry. That is a useful and necessary exhortation. The original intention of 1 Tim. 4:13, however, is simpler. St. Paul tells Timothy that he is to minister faithfully and vigorously to his congregation till St. Paul himself will come. This ministry means bringing the Word of God to people. That he is to do through three routes: reading …

Truth In A Changing World, Leroy C. Rincker
Truth In A Changing World, Leroy C. Rincker
Concordia Theological Monthly
When I survey the beauties of Concordia Seminary and attempt to evaluate its current contributions to the Church, I am impressed with evidences of great changes that have marked the progress of this school during the past thirty years. Its larger enrollment and increasing facilities, its graduate school and mission department, its revised curriculum and wider program, all are evidences of an awareness of opportunities to enter the many doors that are opening to our Church today.
The Wrath Of God And The Grace Of God In Lutheran Theology, Wm. F. Arndt
The Wrath Of God And The Grace Of God In Lutheran Theology, Wm. F. Arndt
Concordia Theological Monthly
Every Lutheran theologian, at hearing these terms, will admit, I think, that in discussing them we deal with the very heart of theology, and not only of theology, but of religion itself. Wherever religion has not developed into a mere caricature, but is live, spontaneous, heartfelt, real, it occupies itself, among other things, with these concepts. The statements that an individual or whole groups make about them may be entirely erroneous and objectionable or highly unsatisfactory, but, at any rate, occupying one's self with them is unavoidable - the human heart simply has to come to grips with these matters. …

Our Life Of Faith, W. F. Beck
Our Life Of Faith, W. F. Beck
Concordia Theological Monthly
But a man is no statue. He, not God, does the believing. Like the sensory process of seeing or of hearing, believing is active as well as passive. It is not a pressed flower in a book, but a living plant which receives nourishment only to grow and produce fruit.

And Yet Again: "Wes Das Herz Voll Ist, Des Gehet Der Mund Ueber", John Kunstmann
And Yet Again: "Wes Das Herz Voll Ist, Des Gehet Der Mund Ueber", John Kunstmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
Having commented on the non-literalness of Luther's translation of this passage, he extols the rendering as truly idiomatic and quotes, in support of the rightness of such a translation, one that is a reproduction and re-creation in German of the foreign and often alien original, the celebrated lines from the Sendbrief vom Dolmetschen (1530) in which Luther defends his "free" translation of the passage in question.
The Growth Of Our Faith, W. F. Beck
The Growth Of Our Faith, W. F. Beck
Concordia Theological Monthly
Contrast a righteous but weak Lot with Abraham, the father of all believers. Lot is materialistic, timid, helpless; Abraham is unselfish, bold, royal. Lot has to run for his life; Abraham, alone, pleads with God for Sodom. Lot escapes from the burning city with the loss of everything, while Abraham lives peacefully with the Lord who made heaven and earth. Lot wants to hide in a cave, while Abraham rises like a lonely mountain peak, touching the clouds.
In What Way Does Christ Speak Through The Ministry?, Praelat Issler
In What Way Does Christ Speak Through The Ministry?, Praelat Issler
Concordia Theological Monthly
Our question does not simply ask in what way Christ speaks through the minister's sermon, but in what way Christ speaks through the ministry: Hence our first thesis treats of this office (diakonia), the ministerium ecclesiasticum. It is neither possible nor necessary to adduce a locus classicus for the institution of this office: we have such only for the Apostolic office. But Gospels and Epistles alike reveal the same factual situation - the "office" is there! Word and Sacrament require it and, as it were, create it as their own instrument.

The Rise And Fall Of The Schmalkaldic League: The Treaty Of Passau, 1552, Theo. Hoyer
The Rise And Fall Of The Schmalkaldic League: The Treaty Of Passau, 1552, Theo. Hoyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
There are several reasons that suggest the truce of Passau as a subject for special consideration at the present time. One is, of course, the date. Since 1883 we have followed up the great outstanding events in Reformation history by church-wide celebrations, beginning with Luther's birth and ending, in 1946, with Luther's death. But several events following Luther's death were to be of immense importance to the Lutheran Church; one of them is the Schmalkaldic War, ending in the truce of Passau, 1552, and the Religious Peace of Augsburg. 1555. - Another reason: We have seen a veritable flood of …

The Basis Of Our Faith, W. F. Beck
The Basis Of Our Faith, W. F. Beck
Concordia Theological Monthly
A careful person insists on evidence. He is critical. He will be interested in the proofs for the existence of God and other apologetic evidence for the Christian faith. He is delighted to see that Christianity has met human needs better than any other religion (the pragmatic evidence) and finds such practical values a potent demonstration of its truth. But we do not reach our Savior along the lines of logic, of premises and inferences. We do not find God at the end of a philosophical search - He is standing on our doorstep. He simply appears in our midst …
Swedish Episcopal Letter On Sex Problems, F. E. Mayer
Swedish Episcopal Letter On Sex Problems, F. E. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Marriage, a legalized union of one man and one woman, has as its purpose the common welfare and care of parents and children. It seeks the development and deepening of their character and is the absolute foundation of community life. The Church wishes to protect and preserve this gift of God.
