The Spirit Of The Lutheran Chorale, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is sometimes hard for a Lutheran to keep the boastful note out of his voice when he speaks of the various treasures of our Lutheran heritage. We have, by the blessing of God, the finest text-book of doctrinal instruction, the Small Catechism of Martin Luther; we have, in addition to the Ecumenical Creeds, the clearest exposition of Scripture truth in our book of confessions, the Concordia of 1580, in which the Augsburg Confession of 1530, whose four-hundredth anniversary we are celebrating this year, deservedly occupies a position of honor; and we have a heritage of church art in general …

The Christology Of The Apocalypse, W H. Ellwanger

Concordia Theological Monthly

More curious notions arise in the minds of many Bible students regarding St. John's Apocalypse than regarding any other book of the Bible. Usually Bible classes are found to be more eager to study this book than any other portion of the Holy Scriptures, and pastors are often asked bewildering and perplexing questions concerning it. Shall we hold ourselves aloof from this writing with an air of "touch not, taste not, handle not," or shall we diligently apply ourselves to laying hold of the divine truths here recorded in their richness and fulness?

How Peter Become Pope, W Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

"The Papacy, such as the West knew it in a later age, had not yet 'been born" - in the fourth century, says Duchesne. For stating this historical truth the French Catholic scholar’s History of the Chruch was placed on the "Index.''

Julius I, 337-352, called a synod to Rome in 340, but the Orientals sent an insulting refusal. When he, in 341, reproved some Eastern bishops for calling a synod at Antioch without his permission, they laughed and told him Christianity arose in the East, and if there were any question of superiority, such belonged to the elder, Oriental, …

How Peter Became Pope, W Dalhmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Waiving discussion, let us assume that Peter came to Rome shortly before· his death.

This humble "elder" begs his fellow-elders to feed the flock of God and not to be "lords over God's heritage, but examples to the flock." 1 Pet. 5, 1-3. How· did this humble elder grow into the infallible Pope who holds the place of God on earth?

Rome was the capital of the world, and the bishop naturally shared in the glory that was Rome’s.

All roads lead to Rome, and Christiana from all parts of the world came to Rome and become acquainted with the …

Sermon Study On Eph. 2, 19-22, O W. Wismar

Concordia Theological Monthly

Pentecost, 1930 A. D., which reminds us that the nineteen hundredth anniversary of the great day described Acts 2 is upon us. And the Lord, who sent His Holy Spirit in accordance with His promise, has not yet returned. "from thence" in His glory, as He has also promised. Faithful is He that promised, and He it is who calls to us even now: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."

The Place And The Time Of The Captivity Letters, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Four letters ascribed to the Apostle Paul have from ancient times been called the Captivity Letters, namely, those to the Colossians, to Philemon, to the Ephesians, and to the Philippians, and the traditional view is that they were written during Paul's first captivity in Rome, from 61 to 63 A. D. But some recent scholars in the field of New Testament isagogics are inclined-to reject the traditional view, preferring to assume that either Caesarea, between 58 and 60, is to be accepted or Ephesus, between 54 and 57. The proponents of Caesarea have some difficulty in adjusting historical data, however, …

"Whom Shall We Send?", F Brand

Concordia Theological Monthly

Said one of our brethren to me the other day,.”I am not in favor of sending our best men to the Orient. We need them at home. Less gifted men are good enough.'' The brother is a man of acknowledged zeal for the work of the Lord and always willing to bring a personal sacrifice in order to win a soul for Christ. His firm conviction is that we "need our best men at home." The subject challenges careful thought.

Suggestive Material For Song Service Address, L Blankenbuehler

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran Church possesses in its beautiful hymns a priceless treasure. This fact is often attested to by non-Lutheran authorities ·on hymnology. On a recent lecture tour through the United States the greatest living authority on Bach, Dr. Terry, of Edinburgh, referred to the Lutheran hymnal as "that precious legacy of the Reformation.'' The man who gave the Church of the Reformation her first hymnal is the same who gave the Church the open Bible by putting the Word of God into the vernacular, the same who summed up the fundamental teachings of the Holy Book in that marvelous "Laymen's …

The Position Of The Christian Woman, Especially As Worker In The Church, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The position of women in most heathen nations and tribes was and is one of almost unbelievable degradation and unspeakable misery. In most cases, even among the more enlightened nations of antiquity, she was nothing more than a mere chattel. Under the old Roman law, for example, a husband had absolute power of life and death over his wife and absolute control of her property. (Brace, Gesta. Christi, 20.) In Athens, during the age of the orators, the woman was obliged to accept without questioning a position distinctly subordinate to the men, both intellectually and socially. "The life of the …

Divergent Teaching On The Plan Of Salvation, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Presbyterian of January 30, 1930, published an article by Dr. S. G. Craig, at that time its editor (''Diversity of Opinion within the Organized Church Relative to the Plan of Salvation"), which is to a great extent informatory and to some extent misinformatory. The first section of the article treats of the Pelagian and the Christian teaching on the plan of salvation. "Pelagius, who was the first to teach a formal doctrine of self-salvation in the Church and who may be regarded as the father of all who have taught this doctrine within the Christian Church, held that God …
