No Development Of Doctrine For Us, Th. Engelder
No Development Of Doctrine For Us, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
The popular theology of today stands for the development of doctrine. C. S. Macfarland declares: "Christian revelation is not confined to a closed canon, to a stereotyped letter, or a strictly defined confession." (Christian Unity in Practice and Prophecy, p. 27.) The Living Church, of Jan. 14, 1933, declares: "There has always been, and under God there always will be, a continual development of experience and doctrine as the Spirit guides the Church into more and more of the truth about Christ. . . Liberal Catholics believe that it is possible to develop a doctrine of Christ in line with …

The Christian Pastor And Courtesy, Richard C. Caemmerer
The Christian Pastor And Courtesy, Richard C. Caemmerer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Who has not heard this comment: "People are not as courteous as they used to be. . . . Young people do not show thoughtfulness for their elders and employers the way they used to do. Folks don't seem to have the manners of the past." In part these reactions are only a symptom of the march of time; the Golden Age always lies in the past. In part, however, the observations are true. Courtesies are folkways, habits of action, and attitude. American civilization causes folkways to break down; for it is materialistic and puts the emphasis upon acquisition of …
The Salutary Use Of Corporate Prayer With Special Reference To The Community Of The Congregation, Howard E. Claycombe Jr
The Salutary Use Of Corporate Prayer With Special Reference To The Community Of The Congregation, Howard E. Claycombe Jr
Bachelor of Divinity
In the life of the Christian prayer is to the soul as breathing is to the body. We sing in the hymn "Prayer is the Christian's vital breath un-uttered or expressed.” Although we know the reasons for praying, the how and the why of it all, and although volumes have been written on the subject, yet it appears that much of the praying in our church is very formal and awkward. We know how and why to pray but do we really pray? The purpose of this study is to particularly isolate and point up the problem of praying together. …
The Spheres Of Action Of The Inquisition In The Counter-Reformation, Paul E. Krohn
The Spheres Of Action Of The Inquisition In The Counter-Reformation, Paul E. Krohn
Bachelor of Divinity
In this paper, we will endeavor to set down the special spheres of action of this institution in regard to the quenching of various heresies which arose within the church. As we refer to the term heretics at various times, let it be understood that we are viewing people as heretics as those who deviated from the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. This will be done only for the sake of clarity, not to prove that they were either wrong or right in their beliefs.
The Eucharistic Prayer- Its Use And Development, Henry C. Dequin
The Eucharistic Prayer- Its Use And Development, Henry C. Dequin
Bachelor of Divinity
The Eucharistic Prayer was originally the chief and only prayer in the liturgy; it was “the heart of the liturgy.” It derives its name from the fact that Christ “gave thanks" when He instituted the Lord's Supper. Thus it is a prayer of thanksgiving at the celebration of the Blessed Sacrament which states the meaning of the Eucharistic action, "Do this." "Since this prayer was originally ‘the' prayer, the only prayer in the whole rite. It was there that the whole meaning of the rite had to be stated, if it was to be put into words at all in …
Epicurean Catchwords In The Letters Of Saint Paul, Eugene Walter Nissen
Epicurean Catchwords In The Letters Of Saint Paul, Eugene Walter Nissen
Bachelor of Divinity
By way of an historical survey of Hellenistic Greece and of Epicurean expansion, coupled with a comparison of Epicurean and Pauline teaching, this thesis will attempt to show that it is not only possible but very probable that Epicurean catchwords do exist in the writings of St. Paul, and that such terminology was emptied of its former connotation, refilled with Christian meaning, and redirected against the Epicureans.
The Significance Of Baptism For The Christian's Faith And Life, Bernhardt F. Meschke
The Significance Of Baptism For The Christian's Faith And Life, Bernhardt F. Meschke
Bachelor of Divinity
The very fact that Christ instituted and commanded Christian baptism is already enough to make it necessary. However, Jesus never instituted anything just for the sake of instituting, nor did the Master command for the sake of commanding. Baptism was given for the benefit of sinners. It is our purpose in the following pages to show the significance of baptism for the Christian's faith and life.
The Effect Of The Trend Toward Religious Schools On Public Schools, Clarence Peters
The Effect Of The Trend Toward Religious Schools On Public Schools, Clarence Peters
Concordia Theological Monthly
Before investigating the topic before us, it may be well for us to inquire· into the reason why some churches maintain their own schools. The reason is not that they do not appreciate the public school or the advantages which these tax-supported schools have brought to the people of America.
An Outline Of Symbolism In The Bible, Paul E. Schuessler
An Outline Of Symbolism In The Bible, Paul E. Schuessler
Bachelor of Divinity
This thesis proposes an outline for study in Biblical symbolism by 1) submitting a definition of the subject, its Biblical warrants, and revealing its opportunities for employment; and 2) submitting a workable outline for further analytical study.
Ministering To Those In Stress, Edward J. Mahnke
Ministering To Those In Stress, Edward J. Mahnke
Bachelor of Divinity
In this paper we are limiting the area to those whose inner tensions and conflicts resulting from original and actual sins which are disturbing their relationship to God, either consciously or unconsciously, whether they seek out or are sought by the pastor.

The Social Ethics Of St Paul With Implications For Marriage And The Family, Walter Fisher
The Social Ethics Of St Paul With Implications For Marriage And The Family, Walter Fisher
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
In this paper it is our intention to confine ourselves to a treatment of St. Paul’s social ethics. He has a great deal to say on this subject. We shall first of all develop the principles of his social message in general, and then confine ourselves to the implications of these principles for the basic social institution as we see what he has to say about marriage and the family.

Religious Conditions In England, E. George Pearce
Religious Conditions In England, E. George Pearce
Concordia Theological Monthly
Ever since the days of the Reformation the group of islands lying off the northwest coast of the European continent have been a stronghold of the Protestant faith and a city of refuge for suppressed minorities from every part of Europe. True, there were days when the fanatical views of Queen Mary or the despotism of the Stuart kings reversed the process and · drove thousands of nonconformist Englishmen into exile in Holland and America. Generally speaking, however, once the half-hearted politico-religious reformation of Henry VIII was over and the Protestant faith had imbedded itself in British hearts during the …
Sermonic Study On Isaiah 26:19, Theo. Laetsch
Sermonic Study On Isaiah 26:19, Theo. Laetsch
Concordia Theological Monthly
The resurrection of Christ is the foundation on which the faith and hope, the very life of every Christian, is built (1 Cor. 15:14-20). The fact of Easter pertains to the New Testament. But the promise of a future Easter dates back to that day on which sin and death entered into the world and on which the Lord gave to sinful Adam and Eve the blessed assurance of the coming of a Deliverer (Gen. 3:15). This promise served as the basis of Adam's hope and faith, expressed in the name he gave to his wife, Eve, the living, because …
Essays On Sermonizing, John H. Fritz
Essays On Sermonizing, John H. Fritz
Concordia Theological Monthly
When Jesus had called unto Him His twelve Apostles, He said, "As ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand," Matt.10:7. After having completed His work of the sinners' redemption and before He ascended to heaven, Jesus repeated His commission, saying, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved," Mark 16:15-16; "Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto …
Why Emphasize A Bible Study Program Now?, Arthur C. Repp
Why Emphasize A Bible Study Program Now?, Arthur C. Repp
Concordia Theological Monthly
There is little point in belaboring the question whether the Church needs to further the study of the Bible. It has needed such study in every age, and the present is no exception. Whether the Church of today should emphasize such a study in a Synod-wide effort, giving it precedence over other important endeavors, is another question and may be open to debate. Right now when we are interested in opening missions in new outposts, when we are getting our congregations conscious of their own opportunities with an “Each One Reach One" emphasis, when the present problems of finances and …
The Integration Of The Lutheran Service Of Worship, Walter E. Buzin
The Integration Of The Lutheran Service Of Worship, Walter E. Buzin
Concordia Theological Monthly
Among the many activities and developments which engage the attention of the Lutheran Church today the liturgical are by no means the most insignificant. Liturgical principles and practices, policies and activities, have been a matter of great concern to the Lutheran Church throughout the four centuries of her existence, and the various modes and procedures adopted within the Church in dealing with these problems often portray to us most vividly why we at times refer to the Bride of Christ as the Church Militant. It is quite likely that the Church always will be confronted and at times even be …
Essays In Hermeneutics, Martin H. Franzmann
Essays In Hermeneutics, Martin H. Franzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
In the circle of language the interpreter seeks to master the language in which the Scriptures were originally written; in the circle of history he seeks to master the world in which and for which the Scriptures were originally written; he strives to envisage and to keep before himself, as concretely and as plastically as may be, the geographic, social, economic, and cultural pattern in which the original proclaimers and the first hearers lived and moved. This pattern, or complex, includes also the past of which the proclaimers and hearers were the inheritors, for by the very fact that a …
Is Doctrinal Unity A Luxury?, Th. Engelder
Is Doctrinal Unity A Luxury?, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
By the grace of God we have been won for the proposition that the adherence to all doctrine revealed is not a luxury, but a necessity. And by the grace of God we repel, in the first place, all the arguments to the contrary. The argument is advanced that we Lutherans distinguish between fundamental and non-fundamental articles and thus eo ipso declare the non-fundamental articles to be unnecessary. Nothing could be further from the truth. To be sure, there is a great distinction between the fundamental articles and the non-fundamental ones. We say that the fundamental articles are necessary for …
The Universal Priesthood And The Pastor, Richard R. Craemerer
The Universal Priesthood And The Pastor, Richard R. Craemerer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Universal Priesthood. The centennial year of our Synod re-emphasized the doctrine of the royal priesthood. The Missouri Synod, and before it the Saxon settlement, regarded itself as a Church because of the universal priesthood. That principle was given a fresh statement in the Reformation, and is a particular heritage of the Lutheran Church. The growth of our Church and the routinizing of its ministry causes this principle to lose some of its vitality. One would expect the laity of the Church to be more energetic than the ministry in safeguarding this principle. Actually we need not expect this to …
Is Doctrinal Unity A Luxury?, Th. Engelder
Is Doctrinal Unity A Luxury?, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Some time ago this view was expressed in the Christian Century: “In a world like ours, nothing seems to me to be less important than agreement about our theology. . . . Struggling to get such an agreement is a luxury which, perhaps, we can return to when the times are less desperate." (See Conc. Theo. MONTHLY, 1945, p. 569.) Unity in doctrine is here called a luxury; it may be a good thing for the Church to have, but the Church can get along very well without it. Her health does not require it.
Objectives Of Parish Education, Arthur C. Repp
Objectives Of Parish Education, Arthur C. Repp
Concordia Theological Monthly
Every religious educator, whether he be pastor, teacher, or Sunday school superintendent, must be aware of and have ID understanding of the objectives of his parish program of education. Leaders of the Church must have before them specific goals which describe in concrete terms what they are trying to effect through their program of parish education. Several considerations prompt one to make such a broad statement. To begin with, there is a tendency for every one of us to become involved in an agency or an organization to such an extent that it becomes an end rather than a means …
St. Paul's Usus Practicus Of Holy Baptism, John Theodore Mueller
St. Paul's Usus Practicus Of Holy Baptism, John Theodore Mueller
Concordia Theological Monthly
It may safely be said that the average Lutheran Christian does not think of his Baptism often enough and that the average Lutheran pastor does not remind his parishioners often enough of the great value and importance of Holy Baptism. There are, of course, exceptions, but these only establish the rule. If this appears as a rather severe indictment, let the reader bear in mind that due grateful appreciation of the meaning and blessing of Holy Baptism involves a most weighty point in Christian sanctification in which we never become perfect and that, because of our perverse Old Adam, we …
Hebrews- An Exegetical Study, James W. Mayer
Hebrews- An Exegetical Study, James W. Mayer
Bachelor of Divinity
In my sketch of the conception of the Christian High-Priest found in Hebrews. I shall consider in the first part the person of Christ as suited to His High-priesthood, and in the second part Christ as performing the work of a High-priest. I shall stress the special emphasis of Christ as OFFERER and the OFFERING which He Brings. A comparison of the Christian High-priest with the high-priests under the Old Dispensation will not be dealt with in a separate chapter, but will be drawn incidentally as the argument progresses.
