How Peter Became Pope, W Dalhmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Waiving discussion, let us assume that Peter came to Rome shortly before· his death.

This humble "elder" begs his fellow-elders to feed the flock of God and not to be "lords over God's heritage, but examples to the flock." 1 Pet. 5, 1-3. How· did this humble elder grow into the infallible Pope who holds the place of God on earth?

Rome was the capital of the world, and the bishop naturally shared in the glory that was Rome’s.

All roads lead to Rome, and Christiana from all parts of the world came to Rome and become acquainted with the …

The Place And The Time Of The Captivity Letters, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Four letters ascribed to the Apostle Paul have from ancient times been called the Captivity Letters, namely, those to the Colossians, to Philemon, to the Ephesians, and to the Philippians, and the traditional view is that they were written during Paul's first captivity in Rome, from 61 to 63 A.

The proponents of Caesarea have some difficulty in adjusting historical data, however, …

Concordia Theological Monthly

The word academic is here used in the special sense of something Agreeing with scholastic rules, customs, and usages; for the age in which Luther lived was very particular in its observance of such relations.

In other words, while he was not necessarily conscientious and punctilious about these customs, he took part in their observance with …

In the pursuit of their activity, Paul cast out an evil spirit, from a girl.

The Contacts Of The Book Of Acts With Roman Political Lnstitutions, H O. Keinath

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the Christian Church began to spread, its field of expansion was practically prepared in the territorial extent of the Roman Empire. Beginning at Jerusalem, the Church rapidly extended its borders beyond this city; it embraced all Palestine and the neighboring lands of Syria, Asia minor, and Egypt and soon had crossed into Macedonia and Achaia. Jerusalem did not remain the geographical center of the Christian Church very long; this city very soon found itself on the eastern extremity of church territory, just u it was situated near the eastern extremity of the Roman Empire. A map of church territory …
