Resetting Our Sights In Christian Education, Randolph Crump Miller

Concordia Theological Monthly

Christian education means telling the story of God's mighty acts in such a way that the listener participates in the dialog and comes into an engagement with God in his daily life. He is reborn daily with Christ, and therefore he sees the meaning of life in a new way as he lives in community as a Christian in the world.

The Church And The Lodge Problem, Theodore Nickel

Concordia Theological Monthly

In this age of ecumenicity and worldwide religious brotherhood, we may seem to be out of step in raising once again the question of whether a Christian may hold membership in what is sometimes called a lodge, or more technically, a fraternal organization. But we write this hoping only to serve the interests of God-pleasing ecumenical relations and Christian brotherhood. In this article we propose to cite instances from the teachings and ritual of the Masonic Order (Freemasonry) to show that commitment to this lodge and membership in the Christian church are not compatible. Many of the fundamental claims and …

New Thinking In Christian Education, Randolph Crump Miller

Concordia Theological Monthly

From where I sit, I see many critical issues in Christian education. For as a professor at Yale, I see all the winds of the future that blow through our hallowed halls. As editor of Religious Education, I know what is going to be published in the next six months by Christians and Jews. As a director of Christian education in a local congregation, I am aware of what is actually going on among the faithful. This perspective governs much of what I shall say.

Homiletics for February and Textual Study Amos 5:16-24

Editorial, Herbert T. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

During recent years the Christian church has been living with a collective sense of guilt which has been sapping its spiritual vitality. Voices are raised in the church which assume full responsibility for the plight of modern man and which castigate the church because it has not been "relevant." The racial crisis, the rising rate of alcoholism, declining standards of public and private morality, deterioration of family life-for these and a thousand other problems the church has been urged to accept at least partial responsibility. The church has frequently forgotten to offer the message of God's forgiveness to itself. The …

The Law-Gospel Tension In Jeremiah, Theodore M. Ludwig

Concordia Theological Monthly

The relationship between judgment and grace is a basic question in Biblical interpretation. God's fierce judgment and His unconditional grace stand side by side in the Biblical testimony, and on unresolved tension exists between these two aspects of God's self-disclosure. The tendency among Bible scholars today is to try to resolve this tension by building a "bridge" between judgment and grace, by some theological interpretation which demonstrates that God's judgment on His people leads directly to their salvation. In the study of the Book of Jeremiah the tension is commonly resolved by the idea of God's judgment as a disciplinary …

The Mission Of The Churches To Higher Education, Wayne Saffen

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is perhaps significant that we consider the churches as having a mission to the university and college. This is an admission that on the secular campus the churches are outside looking in. They do not occupy the seat of power or even possess the persuasive ability to determine educational aims, philosophy, curriculum.

Calvin And Anabaptism, Karl H. Wyneken

Concordia Theological Monthly

Like most of the Reformers, John Calvin (1509--64) loosely applied the terms "Anabaptist," "fanatic," and similar epithets to a number of diverse groups within what is commonly known as the radical, or nonmagisterial, Reformation. In the early years of Calvin's career, for example, an "Anabaptist" (or "Catabaptist") could have been one of the so-called psychopannychists - French Protestants who allegedly denied the traditional doctrine of the state of the soul after death.

Its Graduates Speak; The Seminary Listens, Ronald L. Johnstone

Concordia Theological Monthly

How well does Concordia Seminary train its students for subsequent service in the church? This is the central question being asked continually by Concordia Seminary of itself; this is also the question of a study just completed by the Concordia Seminary Research Center. The following pages report in part the results of this study of training effectiveness.

The Student Association-An Evaluation, John Gienapp

Concordia Theological Monthly

"How does it feel to be top flea on a dead dog?" The wry question addressed to a student association president dramatizes a reality in the life of the association. That reality is the need for reevaluation. It is axiomatic that one thing always present at a seminary is change.

The Mission Of Concordia Seminary, Alfred O. Fuerbringer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Perhaps the title needs a word of explanation. We do not ordinarily think of "mission" in connection with long-established educational institutions unless, perhaps, they are located in foreign lands and are part of a "mission" related to a sending church. In fact, all too often "education," even ministerial and missionary training, has been viewed critically as a rival of "missions" for the church’s concern, interest, and dollar.

Some Directives For The Education Of A More Excellent Ministry, Arthur C. Repp

Concordia Theological Monthly

The continuing reevaluation which theological seminaries have been making of themselves, coupled with a growing criticism of the seminaries' products on the part of many in the church, has produced a lively ferment in the current discussion of ministerial education. Some outstanding theological books and articles of late have addressed themselves to this subject, all of them showing a real concern for finding a solution.

The Fieldwork Program At Concordia Seminary, Kenneth H. Breimeier

Concordia Theological Monthly

In a sense, there has always been fieldwork at Concordia Seminary. Ever since the beginning of the school, students have been preaching, teaching, and generally exercising the skills of the pastoral ministry. In another sense, the beginning of the fieldwork program might be reckoned from the inauguration of the required year of vicarage, or internship. In the early 1930s Synod asked the class that would have returned for its senior year to stay out for one year to work in the parish.

The School For Graduate Studies, Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The history and changing philosophies of what is now known as the School for Graduate Studies illustrates in capsule form the changes and struggles which the seminary itself has experienced during the past years.

A Critique Of Theological Education In The Light Of Changing American Culture, David S. Schuller

Concordia Theological Monthly

The more critical the situation faced by a ministry, the more intense has been its criticism of conventional theological education. Where the patterns of cultural change have been least severe, the conventional shape of ministerial training has been most successful. Turning to the areas of greatest change we find the most demanding tests that can be addressed to contemporary theological education. Moreover, such areas should prove most predictive of the types of change we can look for in the future.

Gifts From The Lord Of The Church, Leonhard C. Wuerffel

Concordia Theological Monthly

After a little more than 16 years of service as the dean of students at a seminary, we have been asked to set forth some observations concerning the students served during this period of time. First of all, there is something frightening about such a request. To have been intimately associated with more than 2,000 young men, who today are ministers of the Gospel and are serving their Lord and His people somewhere in the world, is unquestionably a great privilege and a humbling experience.
