The Historical Background Of "A Brief Statement." (Concluded), Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The union negotiations among the Norwegians served to take most of the Norwegian Synod's members out of direct fellowship with the Missourians. The consummation of the Norwegian union seemed, on the other hand, to direct the Ohio and Iowa synods toward each other and possibly toward the Missouri Synod. There were other factors, of course, which tended to bring about a partial temporary amelioration of the animosity between the synods. One of these factors was a series of free conferences held in the early years of the twentieth century.

The Historical Background Of "A Brief Statement." (Continued), Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Important as are the major theological movements in America and Germany between 1887 and 1932 for an understanding of the Middle Period of the history of the Missouri Synod, even more important are the movements within Lutheranism in America during this time. These movements, to state the self-evident, have their roots in previous periods. Without an understanding of these movements, however, the doctrinal formulations of the Missouri Synod, especially of A Brief Statement cannot be understood adequately.

The Paperback In The Pew, Donald L. Duffner

Concordia Theological Monthly

To understand contemporary man that we might better reach him with the kerygma, we do well to listen to his spokesmen. A. L. Kershaw points out the need to listen to the "sensitive spirits" among the contemporary poets, novelists, playwrights, artists, and composers of the day, who, he avers, "have been far more sensitive to the judgment of God on the hollowness of our life and society than have the majority of religious leaders."

The Historical Background Of "A Brief Statement.", Carl S. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

A Brief Statement of the Doctrinal Position of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, adopted in 1932, is a product of the Middle Period in the history of that church. It reflects the theological concerns of that church body at that time and is conditioned by the relationships between the Missouri Synod and other Lutheran bodies during that period. Only to a lesser degree does it deal with general contemporary theological issues.

Three Words In Our Worship: Devotional Reflections, Arthur Carl Piepkorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

Hosanna is one of three words - the other two are Alleluia and Amen - that the church has taken over from the Hebrew into her worship in mere transliteration and without translation, as a frank and unabashed witness to her roots in the Israel of which she herself has become the successor under the New Covenant.

Rudolf Bultmann And The Sacrament Of Holy Baptism, John H. Elliott

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the fullness of time God sent forth His Son, a pre-existent divine Being, who appears on earth as a man. He dies the death of a sinner on the cross and makes atonement for the sins of men. His resurrection marks the beginning of the cosmic catastrophe … all who belong to Christ's Church and are joined to the Lord by Baptism and the Eucharist are certain of resurrection to salvation. . ..

Pauline Allusions To The Sayings Of Jesus, John Theodore Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, (January 1961), under this heading, subjects the problem of Paul’s allusions to sayings of Jesus to a critical but constructive scrutiny, examining not only specific allusions to some logion of Jesus but also entire doctrinal parallels to logia of our Lord, finding a rewarding field especially in the apostle's allusions to Christ's parables.

The New English Bible, Frederick W. Danker

Concordia Theological Monthly

The appearance of The New English Bible: New Testament (NEB) may mark one of the most significant English religious publications since the Holy Scriptures first went to press. This work is not a retouching of old masters but wears with proud distinction and integrity the title new. Because it communicates in timely idiom and yet with timeless phrase it merits classification with the choicest products of English literary art.

The Door No Man Can Shut, E. J. Friedrich

Concordia Theological Monthly

We have come this morning to honor three eminent servants of the Word for their many years of faithful service in the kingdom of God. Being partakers of their joy, we unite with them in thanking God for the manifold blessings which He has for so many years bestowed upon them and upon their ministries. We also take pleasure in commending them for their faithfulness, congratulating them upon their achievements, and thanking God for the enduring benedictions which have come to our church through their dedicated services. And so the keynote of our celebration is joy - the hallowed spiritual …

In attempting to describe the Word of God we soon become aware of resorting to a process which from a purely logical point of view may be regarded as reasoning in a circle.

There Is!" replied Jeremiah to the secret query of King Zedekiah whether there was a word from the Lord for the problem at hand. In this instance it was a message of judgment, "You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon" (Jer. 37:17). Just how did the prophet know this? In what way did God make His will known in this Case? By a dream? In a vision? By some special intuition or divine insight? We are not told more than that "the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah" (e.g., 37:6). We are, however, assured …

Report On Spiritual Speaking. Reprint From The Living Church, Bishop Burrill, William H. Nes

Concordia Theological Monthly

From age to age the Church, in her fulfillment of the mission committed to her by our Lord, must seek with fervent effort to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. From the point of view of history in its totality, the Church must have made plain the wholeness and the fullness of God's truth and of God's love, and it is our faith that God will give his Church power to do this.
