Sharing The Body In The Body, Arthur Simon
Sharing The Body In The Body, Arthur Simon
Concordia Theological Monthly
I have little to share with you on the Eucharist and the Christian life other than my own odyssey in this respect, so let me be frankly biographical. What I have learned about the holy meal and the holy life cannot be separated from the agonies and joys of those who have shared the way of Jesus with me, so I am indebted especially to the people of my parish, including, and above all, my colleague John Puelle.

Spiritual Formation For Ministry, Eugene I. Van Antwerp

Rudolf Bultmann Revisited, Otto W. Heick
Rudolf Bultmann Revisited, Otto W. Heick
Concordia Theological Monthly
Early in the fifties the writer asked the late Paul Althaus of Erlangen whether in his opinion World War II ushered in a new epoch in the history of theology, as had been the case with the first World War. His answer was no. The emphasis in theology, he felt, had remained unchanged. Seen from the vantage point of the mid-sixties, we know that Althaus was wrong. Gradually through the fifties interest in neoorthodoxy declined. Karl Barth no longer dominated the theological scene. The name of Rudolf Bultmann began to claim primary attention. The historical problems of the New Testament …
Community Discipline: Saint Paul And Qumran: An Exegetical Study Of Paul's Principles Of Church Discipline Based On An Investigation Of Qumran And Such Pauline Materials As Relate To First Corinthians 5:1-5, Harold Louis Kitzmann
Community Discipline: Saint Paul And Qumran: An Exegetical Study Of Paul's Principles Of Church Discipline Based On An Investigation Of Qumran And Such Pauline Materials As Relate To First Corinthians 5:1-5, Harold Louis Kitzmann
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
Discipline problems arose early in the church. A case of flagrant immorality at Corinth prompted Pau1 to counsel the congregation there to meet in solemn assembly and to “excommunicate” the offender. The purpose of this study is to examine the subject of discipline as treated in Paul’s letters, particularly the instance related in 1 Cor. 5:1-5, against the background of Qumran. It is an attempt to establish the New Testament principles governing the church in its internal relations as the fellowship or community of God's "called out people" as compared with practices described in the Dead Sea Scrolls. On the …
A Critical Evaluation Of The Ahmadiyya Muslim Doctrine Of God In The Light Of The Trinity, Henry John Otten
A Critical Evaluation Of The Ahmadiyya Muslim Doctrine Of God In The Light Of The Trinity, Henry John Otten
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
In this study special emphasis is given to the Ahmadiyya Muslim doctrine of God. The Ahmadiyya movement in Islam takes its name from the founder of the movement, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who lived in Qadian, Punjab, India, from 1835-1908. Organized in 1889, the movement has expanded under the leadership of his successors with present headquarters in Rabwah, Pakistan. Its influence has been out of proportion to its membership of less than 3001000 members. The Ahmadiyyas maintain an extensive outreach program which now has centers in more than forty different countries of Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, including a number …
The Fear Of God As Ethical Motivation In Pauline Theology, Walter A. Maier
The Fear Of God As Ethical Motivation In Pauline Theology, Walter A. Maier
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The present writer has long been interested in the study of Pauline instruction concerning motivation for sanctification. In 1967 he presented to the faculty of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, a Master of Sacred Theology thesis on the subject of the fourth of the abovementioned motivations for ethical living, namely, faith in the fact of the Christian's union with Christ and personal participation with Him in his death and resurrection. The opportunity to enter upon a concentrated study of what Paul has to say, in particular, about the sanctifying fear of God presented itself in the same year, when the writer …
The Church's Responsibility In International Affairs, Richard Jungkuntz
The Church's Responsibility In International Affairs, Richard Jungkuntz
Concordia Theological Monthly
The nature of the church's responsibility in this area of concern (as in all others) can be rightly understood only when it is seen in keeping with the nature of the church itself.
The Church's Ministry To People Who Differ On Issues Of National Policy, Richard Jungkuntz
The Church's Ministry To People Who Differ On Issues Of National Policy, Richard Jungkuntz
Concordia Theological Monthly
We ourselves are the church. When we speak of the church's ministry, therefore, we are speaking first of all of our own ministry. We ourselves are also people who differ on a host of issues, including those of national policy. Consequently, the church's ministry to people who differ is in the first instance our own ministry to one another.
Apostolicity As A Church Response To Gnosticism In Irenaeus, Gook Han Bai
Apostolicity As A Church Response To Gnosticism In Irenaeus, Gook Han Bai
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This thesis is based on the praise that both Irenaeus and the Gnostics regarded Christian teachings and practices as Apostolic tradition. Irenaeus regarded Christian teachings and practices as Apostolic tradition, and, accordingly, appealed to the authority or the Apostles in defending the Christian faith. Apostolic tradition, for Irenaeus, must be guaranteed and safeguarded by the unbroken historical. succession from one generation to the next. Irenaeus laid much emphasis on the importance of the Apostles in Christian teachings and practices. However, the Apostles without successors are practically meaningless to him. The concept of being "in the church" also played an important …
