The Lutheran Church In The Canadian Northwest, Edwin Regal
The Lutheran Church In The Canadian Northwest, Edwin Regal
Bachelor of Divinity
The Lutheran Church in the Canadian Northwest is made up of believers from all parts of Europe and the United States. In coming to this newly opened last American frontier as early as 1872 and continuing sporadically ever since, these immigrants brought their curious customs, costumes, languages and dialects with them. This strange mixture of prospective Lutheran Canadians was providentially gathered to make a church which "in spite of its confusing overlapping of unrelated synods and without the slightest semblance of compulsory discipline still has an amazing unity in diversity."
The Life And Times Of Hezekiah, King Of Judah, Harold H. Luke
The Life And Times Of Hezekiah, King Of Judah, Harold H. Luke
Bachelor of Divinity
It is hoped that this paper will contribute to a better understanding of those critical days of old, and that the reader will acquire a deeper appreciation of the virtues and shortcomings of the ancient stalwarts who march across its pages. If this thesis fails to do this, it is not the fault of the subject matter, but that of the writer.
History Of Protestant Missions In Nigeria, Arthur W. Machinske
History Of Protestant Missions In Nigeria, Arthur W. Machinske
Bachelor of Divinity
When studying the history of missions in a certain country, it is necessary that a study be made of that country. Without any knowledge of the land, its peoples, and its history the story of missions is not made complete, for these three things are so closely interwoven with missions that they cannot be separated.
The Validity Of A Sociology Of Religion, Samuel Irven Goltermann
The Validity Of A Sociology Of Religion, Samuel Irven Goltermann
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis is not to provide any of these. No attempt has been made to construct a valid and completely methodology, much less system, of the sociology of religion, either by primary research in, or observation of, the religious institutions and groupings, or by careful study or compilation of the theories and principles which have been advanced by other writers. Rather we have chosen to sample the literature of the field in an attempt to break down, plot out, and isolate into component elements many of the concepts which are with greater or lesser regularity used by …
The Philistines, Frederick Schumacher Jr
The Philistines, Frederick Schumacher Jr
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this study is to review the history of the Philistines, special emphasis being placed on their relation and influence on Israel.
John Chrysostom, The Preacher, John H. Fritz
John Chrysostom, The Preacher, John H. Fritz
Concordia Theological Monthly
John Chrysostom - the name Chrysostom, the golden mouth, was given him by the Church because of his oratorical ability. He has been known by that name since the seventh century. He was born of noble parentage at Antioch, Syria, on the river Orontes, in 347 A. D. Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople, and Rome were outstanding cities in those days. Antioch was one of the most splendid cities in the Roman Empire. It had a population of two hundred thousand. Though half of the inhabitants were nominally Christians, their Christianity varied from severe asceticism to almost pagan laxity.
Girolamo Savonarola, 1452-1498, W. G. Polack
Girolamo Savonarola, 1452-1498, W. G. Polack
Concordia Theological Monthly
On May 23 this year, 450 years will have passed since the martyrdom at Florence, Italy, of Girolamo Savonarola, last of the great medieval friars and last of the so-called forerunners of the Reformation. Columbus had discovered America six years before. Martin Luther, 15 years old, was attending the school of the Brethren of the Common Life at Magdeburg when Savonarola died. Thirty years later Luther published Savonarola's exposition of Psalm 51-an exposition written while he was awaiting execution - as an example of evangelical doctrine and Christian piety. To understand the background of the martyrdom of the Monk of …
The Pictish Church, A Victim Of Garbled History, F. R. Webber
The Pictish Church, A Victim Of Garbled History, F. R. Webber
Concordia Theological Monthly
As Thomas Maclaughlin made clear almost a century ago the word "saint" in the early Gaelic language meant "missionary" and nothing more. The Celts were not in communion with Rome, and canonization was then unknown. St. Ninian, therefore, is not a man who has been canonized, but the Celts gave him that title to denote the fact that he was a missionary. Few men have been treated so shabbily by historians. Ninian was the great evangelical pioneer in the North of Europe, and certainly he was as great a man as St. Columba or St. Patrick; yet our leading reference …
The Pictish Church, A Victim Of Garbled History, F. R. Webber
The Pictish Church, A Victim Of Garbled History, F. R. Webber
Concordia Theological Monthly
It seems almost incredible that a powerful evangelical religious body could flourish for almost five centuries and then be all but forgotten. Moreover, it was a denomiation possessed of a form of missionary zeal that puts us to shame today; a denomination that maintained a number of powerful training schools from which Christian missionaries were sent out to evangelize the pagans; and (if we are to believe the earliest historians) a religious body that preached Christ Crucified with apostolic fervor. Such, we are assured by painstaking historians, was the early Celtic Church. The Celtic Church, like our larger religious bodies …
The Consensus Of Sandomierz. A Chapter From The Polish Reformation, Jaroslav Pelikan Jr
The Consensus Of Sandomierz. A Chapter From The Polish Reformation, Jaroslav Pelikan Jr
Concordia Theological Monthly
From April 9 to 14, 1570, representatives of Polish Calvinism, of Polish Lutheranism, and of the Bohemian Brethren met in the city of Sandomierz in southwestern Poland and signed a document acknowledging each other's confessions and doctrines as orthodox and looking forward to the time when all three could be united in one confession and one national Polish Church; that document was the so-called Consensus Sendomiriensis, the Consensus of Sandomierz. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the conditions which produced it, and to explain the circumstances under which it was adopted.
History As A Weapon In Controversy, W. Spitz
History As A Weapon In Controversy, W. Spitz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Eduard Fueter, ascribing the development of modern historiography to the Lutheran Reformation and more particularly to the purposes of polemics, declares that Protestant church history was created solely for the needs of confessional polemics. Ancient church history was to furnish the proof that Protestantism, in contrast to Catholicism, had preserved the original purity of Christianity. Medieval church history was to expose the terrible darkness to which the rule of the Antichrist had led.
Lund, W. Arndt
Lund, W. Arndt
Concordia Theological Monthly
During the first week of July all eyes were focused on the little town of Lund, Sweden, entertaining the World Convention of Lutherans. It is a town that is entitled to honorable mention in its own rights. Pleasantly situated in the maritime plain of southwestern Sweden and twenty miles distant from the port of Malmoe, it is the seat of one of the two Swedish universities and can justly claim to be an important center of scholarship and learning.
The Historical Background Of The Westminster Assembly, Th. Hoyer
The Historical Background Of The Westminster Assembly, Th. Hoyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Presbyterians are this year observing the tercentenary of the Westminster Confession. The Westminster Assembly, the body which formulated the chief Confession of the Presbyterians, was called into being by an ordinance of Parliament, June 12, 1643, for the avowed purpose of establishing a form of church government, "most agreeable to God's Holy Word, and most apt to procure and preserve the peace of the Church at home, and nearer agreement with the Church of Scotland, and other Reformed Churches abroad." To this end it was "thought fit and necessary to call an Assembly of learned, godly, and judicious Divines, …
Ludwig Ernest Fuerbringer, 1864-1947, J. H. Fritz
Ludwig Ernest Fuerbringer, 1864-1947, J. H. Fritz
Concordia Theological Monthly
In the early morning of Tuesday, May 6, the Lord called Dr. Ludwig Ernest Fuerbringer to his eternal rest. More than fourscore years he was permitted to live and labor on this earth. His ministerial training he received at Concordia College, Fort Wayne, and at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. After a pastorate at Frankenmuth, Mich., from 1885 to 1893, he served on the faculty of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, for a period of fifty years. The theological faculty of our sister synod in Australia honored him with the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and Valparaiso with the degree of Doctor …
Thomas Chalmers, The Walther Of Scotland, F. R. Webber
Thomas Chalmers, The Walther Of Scotland, F. R. Webber
Concordia Theological Monthly
The year 1947 marks the centennial of the death of Dr. Thomas Chalmers, perhaps the greatest man that Scotland ever produced. His life and his conflict with a corrupt State Church offer many striking parallels with that of Dr. Walther of our own Synod. Moreover, religious conditions in Scotland a little over a century ago were of such a nature that one needs only to change names and a few details in order to have a picture of religious conditions in Germany just before the Saxon emigration to America.
The Relations Between The English And The Scottish Reformations, Carl Napier Jr
The Relations Between The English And The Scottish Reformations, Carl Napier Jr
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of the writer's original investigation was to find out what influences and connections existed between the two Reformations. The purpose of this study is to show that before Henry VIII English efforts at union were almost wholly political. At least there is no mention of religious-political parties. War and conciliation were the diplomatic weapons. After Henry's break with the Pope by the Act of Supremacy in 1534 and to 1707 when the final union of the crowns took place political and religious relations became closely entwined. Henry and his successors, particularly Elizabeth, used religion in fostering the political …

The Melanchthonian Blight, Richard Craemerer
The Melanchthonian Blight, Richard Craemerer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Luther's Reformation was a movement of truly spiritual vitality. He restored to light some of the most powerful impulses of the Christian religion - salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, the royal priesthood of all believers, the divinity of the Christian calling. Somewhere around 1525, however, this vitality seems to wane. The German princes begin to dominate in the Lutheran movement, and they retain most of the pagan characteristics of their contemporaries. Theologians expend their best efforts in many decades of acrimonious controversy. The German people lag behind their neighbors in cultural and political progress, almost succumb to …

The Formative Years Of Paul, Victor Harold Zwintscher
The Formative Years Of Paul, Victor Harold Zwintscher
Bachelor of Divinity
The aim the purpose of this paper will be to describe briefly the conditions and activities which influenced the Apostle Paul, during his formative years, in the preparation for becoming an ambassador of Jesus Christ. Since the actual historic facts concerning this period of the apostle's life are extremely limited, there is almost endless room for conjecture. However, in the absence of facts, the conjecture in this paper will be limited to the most logical and psychological possibilities.
The Attitude Toward The Confessions Among The Lutherans In The United States From 1800 To 1867, Paul Frederick Maassel
The Attitude Toward The Confessions Among The Lutherans In The United States From 1800 To 1867, Paul Frederick Maassel
Bachelor of Divinity
In the past few years, there have been many discussions concerning Lutheran union. Very often the backgrounds play an important part in understanding some of the problems in connection with Lutheran union. In this paper no attempt is made to connect the past with the present, as space is limited. An attempt is made to show some of the causes for the attitude toward the Confessions of the Lutheran Church which prevailed between 1800 and 1867.
The Political And Economic Conditions In England In Their Relation To The English Reformation, Earl C. Kettler
The Political And Economic Conditions In England In Their Relation To The English Reformation, Earl C. Kettler
Bachelor of Divinity
We are concerned here with the influence that the political and economic conditions in England had on the English Reformation. Although, the actions in the break with the Roman Church covered a period of only a few years, the causes for those actions lie in the previous growth of England, politically and economically, An action, as far reaching, as the repudiation of the papacy, certainly did not come about over night. Its causes lie much deeper than merely a breach of canon law.
The Presbyter John Controversy, Paul H. Heitmann
The Presbyter John Controversy, Paul H. Heitmann
Bachelor of Divinity

The History Of Puritanism From King James I To William And Mary, Weldon Luther Priebe
The History Of Puritanism From King James I To William And Mary, Weldon Luther Priebe
Bachelor of Divinity
In the whole terminology of' history there are few words more difficult to define than "Puritan”, for it was never used by contemporaries with precisely the same significance, and it has denoted very different qualities at different epochs. It is a word that has borne so many doctrinal, dogmatic, political, and administrative, social meanings in the course of the past four centuries that it is hardly possible to present one definition acceptable to all.
The Early History Of The Aramaeans And Their Contacts With Israel Up To The Divided Kingdom, Marlin A. Mentz
The Early History Of The Aramaeans And Their Contacts With Israel Up To The Divided Kingdom, Marlin A. Mentz
Bachelor of Divinity
Of the Old Testament races and peoples, who had contacts with God's chosen people, the Aramaeans, or as the English Bible terms them, Syrians, are one or the most colorful and fascinating. This is especially true because the history and career of the Aramaean people runs nearly parallel with that of the Israelites. They both appear on the scene at approximately the same time, and the history of both Aram and Israel also terminates about the same time.
The Hussites And Their Work Of Reformation In Slovakia, Daniel Michael Estok
The Hussites And Their Work Of Reformation In Slovakia, Daniel Michael Estok
Bachelor of Divinity
In the middle of the fourteenth century central Europe was ripe for a reformation movement. a re-formation of the Church of the day. In consequence of the shameful debasement of the papacy and the deep corruption of the clergy and monks, the influence of the Church upon the moral and religious culture of the people, in spite of the ardent zeal of the homilists and catechists, was upon the whole much less than formerly. Reverence for the Church as it stood was indeed tottering, but was not yet completely overthrown.
The Critical Evaluation Of The Influence Of William Sihler In The Development Of The Missouri Synod, Lewis William Spitz
The Critical Evaluation Of The Influence Of William Sihler In The Development Of The Missouri Synod, Lewis William Spitz
Bachelor of Divinity
A critical evaluation of the influence of a man Like Dr. Sihler upon an active church body presents special d1fficulties. Of the three is essential processes in the art of producing history: the gathering of data, the criticism of data, and the presentation of facts in a readable form, the second in the present instance is particularly difficult for one standing within a certain tradition.
The Life And Work Of Georg Ernest Christian Ferdinand Sievers, August Suelflow
The Life And Work Of Georg Ernest Christian Ferdinand Sievers, August Suelflow
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
It is the purpose of this paper to find out by what process or development the Missouri Synod began to do its work among people of other tongues. When one pages through the old issues of the Lutheraner or Synodal Berichte, he certainly is not swept away by the wave of enthusiasm that the members of Synod expressed in favor of doing mission work.
