Proselytizing, A New Problem, Theo. Graebner Oct 1933

Proselytizing, A New Problem, Theo. Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

Handbooks for Bible classes that througl1out discredit the Bible have not been a rare offering of the publishers' tables of recent years. But here is a text-book for religious study classes which not only cuts doubt upon the veracity of Bible accounts, but which in detail is designed to eliminate the doctrine of Christianity from the consciousness of the new generation. And it is "approved by the Committee on Curriculum of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church.''

Separation Of Church And State, Theo. Graebner Apr 1933

Separation Of Church And State, Theo. Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

American low regarding churches as presented in Professor Zollmnnn's revised edition of American Civil Church Law (now republished under the title American Church. Law*) is a wonderful accomplishment of jurisprudence. While America has borrowed much of her law from England, it seems that Europe must build upon our pattern of church relations the laws which will govern religious societies when the antiquated system of established, or state, churches has been abolished.

The Modernistic Christ, Theo Graebner Feb 1933

The Modernistic Christ, Theo Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The reader of modern theological literature sometimes happens upon a title which possesses significance, not on account of any intrinsic worth as a product of scholarship, but as a typical instance of modern thought regarding the nature of Christianity. From this point of view, Tittle's Jesus after Nineteen Centuries is worthy of more than passing comment. What a subject- the meaning of Jesus and the manifestation of His power in the world to-day! Proceeding from the glorious truth "Jesus the same yesterday and to-day and forever," what cannot be said of the power of the Gospel as manifested in the …

The Shifting Sands Of Science, Th. Engelder Jul 1932

The Shifting Sands Of Science, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Men are colling upon the Christian Church with increasing insistence that it adjust its teachings to the findings of science. The Western Christian Advocate of December 22, 1027, declared: "New discoveries have necessitated new statements of our faith. Our views of the Bible, our ideas as to God's relationship to the world, have got to be reconstructed. . . . The heterodoxies of one day have become the orthodoxies of the next." w. K. Wright, in A. Student’s Philosophy of Religion, demands that he, the student, draw no conclusions in conflict with the dicta of present-day mental and physical science. …

Christian Missions In China Before Morrison, Walter G. Polack Apr 1932

Christian Missions In China Before Morrison, Walter G. Polack

Concordia Theological Monthly

Less than a half century after Augustine of Canterbury began his work of Christianizing the Anglo-Saxons in England; nearly a half century before Boniface, the so-called Apostle of the Germans, was born; fully two hundred years before Ansgar, the Apostle of the North, began his work of founding the Christian Church among the Northmen; and long before Christianity had came to the Moravians, Bulgarians, Bohemians, Hungarians, Pomeranians, Prussians, Poles, Russians, and other people that make up the Western Christian world to-day, Christianity was brought to China, that far-fung land with its teeming millions of inhabitants, which in spite of all …

The Causes Of The Persecution Of The Early Christians, Karl H. Maier Mar 1927

The Causes Of The Persecution Of The Early Christians, Karl H. Maier

Bachelor of Divinity

The popular and traditional view of the persecutions of the Christiane considers them to be ten in number lasting from 64 to 311 A.D. The persecutions are looked upon as fiendish and arbitrary attacks of various emperors against Christianity out of hatred, and periods of comparative quiet appear to be indication that some emperors favored or recognized Christianity. The consideration of the persecutions in this light leads to the opinion that they were all of the same nature, and gives no indication of the real depth of the conflict and the issues involved.

Behaviorism And Christianity, Daniel Coyner May 1926

Behaviorism And Christianity, Daniel Coyner

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of our discussion, however, is not so much to reveal the weak features of behaviorism as it is to place it in juxtaposition with Christianity and point out the incongruities. We have seen that the philosophical basis upon which the superstructure of behaviorism has been raised is a problem that has not bothered many of the behaviorists. Most of them have chosen to remain indifferent to this groundwork - apparently because it is not objective enough for them. But whether it be objective or subjective, Christianity has a very definite philosophical basis and our comparison of the two …

The Christian Religion Vs Philonism And Stoicism, Otto P. Kretzmann Jan 1924

The Christian Religion Vs Philonism And Stoicism, Otto P. Kretzmann

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The study of Comparative Religions and the application of the evolutionistic principle to the field of religion have in the last decades lent tremendous impetus to inquiries into the origin of Christianity and the philosophical background of the New Testament. Every remnant of the ancient philosophic literature has been carefully examined by writers with a naturalistic tendency in order to discover some natural explanation for the thought and phraseology of the New Testament. An examination of these alleged points of contact, which are supposed to have exerted such a tremendous influence on nascent Christianity, together with a critical estimate of …
