Pray Anyway, Raymond C. Schulze
Pray Anyway, Raymond C. Schulze
Concordia Theological Monthly
How Professor Hoyer arrived at the title "Pray Any Way" is an illustration, however poor, of part of today's talk. When we were talking about this on the phone, I gave him the title "Pray Anyway” - and it came through to him "Pray Any Way." As with prayer itself, one wonders: Was the connection poor? When I saw the thing in print, I wondered: Was there anyone on the other end? Did the one who answered hear what I said but then disagree and write, "Pray Any Way" anyway?

The Style And The Mission, John H. Tietjen
The Style And The Mission, John H. Tietjen
Concordia Theological Monthly
Today I set out on an adventure. I invite you to come along. The adventure is the Easter quarter experiment. It's called "'Style of Life in God: Mission in Community." My assignment this morning is to introduce the style and the mission. Let's be frank: my task is to motivate you to participate. The result I hope t0 achieve by this address is to elicit from you a commitment to take part in the experiment. I am happy for the assignment. I intend to participate and hope you will, too.
Life In The Spirit Today, Ewald Bash
Life In The Spirit Today, Ewald Bash
Concordia Theological Monthly
In many ways nothing seems stranger than this moment to me-to be found in these circumstances talking about spirituality. In the years since the writing of Seven Days I have become engaged in almost constant activity. Those who live with me in the building at headquarters of The American Lutheran Church, I rather imagine, would be somewhat shocked to see me standing here; they don't regard me as a contemplative man, and I would be a phony if I came to you and pretended I was some sort of spiritual giant. Many times I have been lost, foundering at the …
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
Spiritual Formation For Ministry, Eugene I. Van Antwerp
Concordia Theological Monthly
Dimiui Shostakovich has described his Fifth Symphony (D Major, Opus 47), composed just 30 years ago, as "the assertion of personality. It is man with all his emotions and experiences that I saw as the focus of design in this work."

Called To Service And To Seminary, David S. Schuller
Called To Service And To Seminary, David S. Schuller
Concordia Theological Monthly
How does it happen? On assignment day the whole world spread out before him… entering the ministry … his own group of people to shepherd … the heady challenge of a world needing both the courage of a prophet and the resounding proclamation of a gospel … the continuity of the holy Christian church. He was about to step into the procession of the Te Deum. His wife's hand squeezed his as his name was called. Not too many years later late at night he sits wondering. It hasn't turned out as he had dreamed. The opposition was more insidious, …
The Interior Warfare, Harry N. Huxhold
The Interior Warfare, Harry N. Huxhold
Concordia Theological Monthly
In a recent bulletin of the Academy of · Religion and Mental Health a psychiatrist quotes a Harvard junior, "Many students turn into themselves and become preoccupied with their own thoughts and emotions to the point of obsession.'' We should not be surprised. Your generation has been more sensitive to the nature of man and his interior struggle than most generations. The era of Freudian psychology and existential philosophy has exposed the depths of man's psyche to the point of nausea. It was not too long ago that we greeted the Freudian view of man as the clinical evidence of …

The Brotherly Task, Paul J. Bauermeister
The Brotherly Task, Paul J. Bauermeister
Concordia Theological Monthly
Between the years 1951 and 1956 I sat out there where you are with enough regularity that no one ever got overly concerned about my spiritual condition. Back in those days, it seems to me, there was less concern about the "spiritual condition" and more concern about chapel attendance. I think that's progress. During those years I sat out there I remembered thinking, frequently, that I did not want to be up here in the chancel-ever! - that the good place to be was out there-not up here. I was right; but as we say: That's my problem.
Editorial: Today’S Challenge To The Church, Lloyd H. Goetz
Editorial: Today’S Challenge To The Church, Lloyd H. Goetz
Concordia Theological Monthly
The church has never had any other challenge than that of the Great Commission, and it ought to anticipate no new responsibilities or opportunities in the decade ahead. Nor could any task be more difficult and meaningful than that of continuing Christ's ministry.

Christian Humanism And The Reformation: Erasmus And Melanchthon, Carl S. Meyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
A closer examination of the relationship between Erasmus and Melanchthon - contemporaries who were both Christian humanists and ecclesiastical reformers, though they never met each other face to face - illuminates several significant aspects of the complex interrelationship between Christian humanism and the Reformation.

Erasmus-Luther: One Theology, One Method, Two Results, Gottfried G. Krodel
Erasmus-Luther: One Theology, One Method, Two Results, Gottfried G. Krodel
Concordia Theological Monthly
Luther and Erasmus were both biblical humanists, both affirmed the grace of God as central, but each constructed a different theological system. Erasmus always regarded theology as a descriptive task, best advanced by continuous disputations. Luther saw the Gospel as the crystal-clear center of Scripture, the saving knowledge revealed by God. Because of this conviction, Luther viewed theology as the task of making assertions, of boldly confessing one's faith.

Early Israel As The Kingdom Of Yahweh, Albert E. Glock

Archaeological evidence indicates that early Israel as the kingdom of Yahweh functioned on the analogy of Ancient Near Eastern vassal states. In the religion of Early Israel both law and warfare were vehicles for the extension of Yahweh's covenant rule.

The Influence Of Archaeological Evidence On The Reconstruction Of Religion In Monarchical Israel, Horace D. Hummel
The Influence Of Archaeological Evidence On The Reconstruction Of Religion In Monarchical Israel, Horace D. Hummel
Concordia Theological Monthly
Early covenant traditions shaped much of Israel’s theological expression even after the wilderness wandering and settlement. The author examines kingship, cult, and prophecy in monarchical Israel and cites archaeological evidence to support his contentions.
The Meaning Of Archaeology For The Exegetical Task, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer
The Meaning Of Archaeology For The Exegetical Task, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The author illustrates how archaeological evidence may supplement, clarify, contradict, or confirm historical and geographical statements in the Scriptures. Biblical theologians and archaeologists need to work together in the exegetical task.
Eschatology In The Teachings Of Jesus, Kenneth Heinitz
Eschatology In The Teachings Of Jesus, Kenneth Heinitz
Concordia Theological Monthly
A study of biblical language about kingdom and life reveals that both terms are eschatological and that both emphasize the quality of Christian living rather than presenting a timetable for the advent of the Parousia. Jesus brings both and calls men to decision. Kingdom and life are present possessions of believers, and the day of judgment will bring their culmination. When Jesus spoke of the signs of His Parousia, He was speaking of the signs that point to the coming of the Son of Man rather than to the actual coming itself. Eschatological hope characterizes all that the Christian does.

Critical scholarship has made many valuable contributions to our knowledge of the Old Testament. A series of examples illustrates this point. We need to be sure that we retain the priority of exegesis over dogmatics.

Sic Et Non: Are We So Sure Of Matthean Dependence On Mark?, H. P. Hamann
Concordia Theological Monthly
Let’s take another look at the view that Matthew depends on Mark, especially at the way in which G. M. Styler has recently defended it. The author then examines the pros and cons of the arguments and concludes that the case for Markan priority is not as open and shut as some would argue.

A Look At The Neb-Ot, Alfred Von Rohr Sauer, Frederick W. Danker
Concordia Theological Monthly
A reviewer of the New English Bible (NEB) is inclined to compare this text with that of the 18-year-old Revised Version (RSV) and the new Jerusalem Bible. Before he compares these three versions, he needs to note the difference in backgrounds in each case. The RSV is, of course, not a new translation, but as the name indicates, it is a revision of the old King James Version. Its purpose is to bring the Authorized Version up-to-date, modernizing words and phrases that might not be intelligible to the reader of the 20th century.

Fresh Perspectives On Matthean Theology, Frederick W. Danker
Fresh Perspectives On Matthean Theology, Frederick W. Danker
Concordia Theological Monthly
In his book The Parables of Jesus in Matthew 13 Jack Kingsbury argues that chapter 13 marks the great turning point in Matthew's theological interpretation of Jesus' life. After 13, Jesus no longer tries to teach the people of Israel, but instead concentrates on the disciples, the true people of God. But Kingsbury's analysis of λαλεῑν overlooks important evidence concerning the use of λαλεῑν and διδάσχειν. The author then presents a new interpretation of the difficult statement by Jesus concerning why He spoke in parables.
