Homiletics: Sermon Study On 1 Tim. 2:1-6 For The Fifth Sunday After Trinity, Herbert T. Mayer

Sermon Study on 1 Timothy 2:1-6 for the Fifth Sunday After Trinity

Inside Missouri Synod, James R. Blackwood

Concordia Theological Monthly

From what other people had told me, my mental picture of a Missouri Lutheran once took shape as a sort of scaly monster belching me.

But I have changed my mind in the last five years, since I have set out in my first charge, a Presbyterian minister in the thick of Missouri Lutherans. One day early in my pastorate I wanted to look up a reference in a certain volume of theology. The public library of nearby St. Louis did not have a copy of the book. What about Concordia Seminary? Perhaps the Lutherans would let me use their …

Some Anti-Pelagian Echoes In Augustine's "City Of God.", Jaroslav J. Pelikan

Concordia Theological Monthly

Among the solutions which Christians have offered to the problem of the origin of evil in God's good world, St. Augustine’s City of God is still classic. The political development of the fifth century presented a situation which demanded some answer to this problem, and the Augustine who addressed his great apologetic treatise De civitate Dei to that development had been dealing with the problem of evil in a number of polemical treatises as well, namely, in those directed against the Pelagian heresy.

The Doctrine Of Predestination In Romans 8:28-39, Luther Poellot

Concordia Theological Monthly

The doctrine of predestination is presented as our highest and greatest comfort in suffering. The doctrine itself is set forth in vv. 28-30, while in vv. 31-39 Paul draws the conclusions which follow in regard to the power of the Christian religion, more specifically the doctrine of predestination, to support us in the trials and afflictions which come upon those whom God has elected to salvation.

The Relation Of The Liturgy To The Word, H. Richard Klann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The essential aim of this investigation is not merely the historical delineation of liturgical practices, nor the consideration of liturgical minutiae in their historical setting and development, nor the establishment of a theological basis against liturgical innovations, but rather to state the Lutheran principles by which a pastor will be able to judge the relation of the liturgy to the proclamation of the Word in the worship of a congregation.

The United Testimony On Faith And Life, F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Church bodies making up the American Lutheran Conference have now walked and worked together for a period of more than twenty years. They have learned to know one another both as to doctrine and as to manner of life. They have been associated as brethren serving the Lord. Coming out of varying backgrounds as to national origin and as to distinctive trends in church life and practice, they have learned to cherish one another's contributions to the fulness of the Church's life in Christ. Through closer acquaintance and deepening fellowship they have found that the common roots of …

The Lutheran Doctrine Of The "Autopistia" Of Holy Scripture, Helmut Echternach

Concordia Theological Monthly

This doctrine of classical Lutheran theology is becoming very important today in connection with the discussion of the authority of Scripture and the Confessions. Stated briefly its immediate scope in its formal aspect is that Holy Scripture requires no other argument to prove itself the inerrant divine truth than the evidence which it bears within itself and with which it confronts the Church and the individual as the living Word of the living God, that is to say, as the Word which has life in itself and awakens life.

The Speaking Christ In His Royal Office, T. G. Voigt

Concordia Theological Monthly

One might argue as to whether the doctrine of the threefold office of Christ is really usable for a comprehensive description of the work of Christ. There are expositions of Christian doctrine enough which do not follow this pattern at all. There are those who fear that this pattern may do violence to the content: the fullness of the Biblical proclamation concerning the office and the work of Christ may be lost if one seeks to reduce or confine the Biblical titles of honor applied to Christ and the Biblical designations of His office to the triplex munus. Among them …

Race Relations -The Christian Directive, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Does the Christian religion have something to say c:onceming race relations?

There are those who would limit the references of the Christian religion to race relations simply to those data of the Old and New Testaments of sacred Scripture which concern races. Thus they assemble material on the creation of man, the separation of races, the pattern of races in the pre-Christian era, the nature of races and the Biblical references to them in the Christian era, and the like.

The Administrators Of Parish Education, M. L. Koehneke

Concordia Theological Monthly

It should be noted from the very outset that the administration of education in a Christian parish is a unique process, for it draws its concepts from the precepts of God, and not the ideologies of men. We shall therefore not spend time in the beginning of this paper with a presentation of the various definitions and methods of "administration" from secular sources. We do not disparage them; we rather prefer to try to develop our own from certain basic Christian concepts.

The Historical Method In Biblical Interpretation, Raymond P. Surburg

Concordia Theological Monthly

The failure of exegetes to agree on hermeneutical principles is said to be one of the major causes for the divisions in Christendom, and, as Avey pointed out more than 25 years ago, American denominationalism will not disappear unless all bodies agree on basic principles of Biblical interpretation. Biblical scholars of the liberal tradition claim that the greatest obstacle to any agreement among exegetes lies in the continued use of the so-called dogmatic method inherited from the Reformers. Its advocates are charged that on the assumption that the Bible is divinely inspired and inerrant they employ the prooftext method in …

Velikovsky And The Hebrew Bible, Carl Gaenssle

Concordia Theological Monthly

Some time ago Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision• created quite a stir in some circles. It is not the purpose of this article to examine this book in all its aspects. The author has limited himself to an examination of Velikovsky's use and application of the Hebrew Old Testament, to which he so frequently appeals as illustrating his theories and supporting his contentions.

The Russian Eastern Church And Protestantism, Herbert Haljabold

Concordia Theological Monthly

The contacts between the Lutheran and the Eastern Church reach back to Luther. Benz points out that the Symbolical Books in several instances support their demand for a reformation of doctrine and cultus by an appeal to the authorities of the Greek Church during the first five centuries. He shows that during the dispute at Leipzig, Luther appealed to the Greek Church to corroborate his thesis that the supremacy of the Papacy was not recognized in the Old Church, but was developed after the age of Constantine and in opposition to the Eastern Church.

A Physician Of Souls, Charles A. Behnke

Concordia Theological Monthly

Twenty-Five years ago Anton T. Boisen, who as a patient in a mental hospital had wandered in strange places of the spirit, began an experiment with four theological students in the State Hospital at Worcester which gave birth to the Council for the Clinical Training of Theological Students. Today thirty training centers in mental and general hospitals, prisons, corrective institutions and guidance clinics, assist twenty-five seminaries in preparing ministerial students for more adequate services as pastors of churches and chaplains in hospitals and reformatories. Concordia Seminary of St. Louis has initiated a course of its own which is deeply rooted …
