The Christian And Social Responsibility, Robert J. Werberig
The Christian And Social Responsibility, Robert J. Werberig
Concordia Theological Monthly
What is the Christian's role in the many-faceted, restless, and paradoxical society of the 60s? Should his function as a Christian citizen include more than merely "holding a private opinion" on the issues of our times? Does his commitment to Christ imply something more than "contributing to welfare" in face of the fact that over two-thirds of his generation lives out life under starvation conditions? Is there a valid place for the voice and action of Christianity within the vortex of change, which today upsets whole cultures, often with crushing and dehumanizing effects to people?
Towards An Understanding Of And Pastoral Approach To The Potential Suicide, Allan Bruck
Towards An Understanding Of And Pastoral Approach To The Potential Suicide, Allan Bruck
Bachelor of Divinity
That suicide is such a destructive force in the lives of men is reason enough to undertake a serious study of this problem. For the pastor, however, there is a more impelling reason for such study: in his pastoral ministry, the clergyman will be confronted by the potential suicide and will be forced to influence his course of action, either for the better or for the worse. This paper would serve as an introduction to the problem of suicide, and, hopefully; as a motivation for further pastoral study.
Ministry And Future: Contradictions And Hope, Martin E. Marty
Ministry And Future: Contradictions And Hope, Martin E. Marty
Concordia Theological Monthly
Now men celebrate an event in time: traversing the years from Log Cabins to Luther Tower. Apparent contradictions abound: the cabin, a modest and diffident Statement of an exile group. The tower, an ambitious and almost proud statement of a people with a sense of arrival. Men remember both and looking at them together see what they might otherwise have overlooked: the investment of hope in a ministry.
The Place Of The Family In The Church's Educational Ministry, Oscar E. Feucht
The Place Of The Family In The Church's Educational Ministry, Oscar E. Feucht
Concordia Theological Monthly
Parents are the child's most potent teachers. They provide the all-important environment. Good manners, good English, love of good books and music, life's ideals, in fact, the whole outlook on the world are developed largely in the home. And so are dislikes and prejudices, religious views as well as political views, habits of going to church, of receiving Holy Communion, of prayer and reading the Bible. The paths which adult feet travel find their origin in childhood, and one way is as likely to be traveled as another, if started upon in the preschool days.
Preparation For Discipleship- Discipleship In Jesus' Farewell Discourses, St John13-17, L Dean Hempelmann
Preparation For Discipleship- Discipleship In Jesus' Farewell Discourses, St John13-17, L Dean Hempelmann
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The meaning of discipleship is significant for the church today. As the world changes, the church and the members of the church change, and it becomes necessary for the church to renew her churchliness. In order to be the church, the church must know the meaning of discipleship. If the church wants to understand her divine duty she must know the meaning of discipleship. This thesis presents an investigation of the meaning of discipleship in Jesus' farewell discourses in the Gospel according to St. John (chapters 13-17).
