The Council Of Trent As A Landmark In The History Of Roman Catholicism, Carl Beiderwieden
The Council Of Trent As A Landmark In The History Of Roman Catholicism, Carl Beiderwieden
Bachelor of Divinity
The Council of Trent is the most important assembly in the history of the Latin Church. To exaggerate the importance of this Council is impossible. On the action of that assembly was to depend whether Europe was to have one religion or many, whether the creed which for so many centuries had shaped the characters of mankind was to continue to speak as the united judgment of all wise and good men, or whether Christendom was to split into factions which would rend and tear each other in every segment of the globe, ‘till the very faith for which they …
The Reaction Of The Roman Catholic Church To The Renaissance And Its Influence On The Lutheran Reformation, John Nieman
The Reaction Of The Roman Catholic Church To The Renaissance And Its Influence On The Lutheran Reformation, John Nieman
Bachelor of Divinity
After this introductory discussion the purpose will be to show the influence of the Renaissance on the Roman Church and the reaction of the Church to this movement, especially the feelings of the Papacy, which was in those days the Church.
The Doctrine Of Justification By Faith The Leimotif Of The Apology Of The Augsburg Confession, Lorman Petersen
The Doctrine Of Justification By Faith The Leimotif Of The Apology Of The Augsburg Confession, Lorman Petersen
Bachelor of Divinity
The purpose of this thesis is not to present Catholic doctrine and refute it, but, self-evidently, to show that the Doctrine of Justification by Faith is the Leitmotif of the Apology. We make no claim that we have accomplished our purpose, or that we have done justice to this great Christ centered Confession of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. We have only scratched the surface of this document so rich in Christian doctrine. Melanchthon was a master-mind, and it takes a master-mind to follow him.
Lutheran Hymns In English Translation Or The Contribution Of Nineteenth Century Translators In England To English Hymnody, Hans Bruss
Bachelor of Divinity
Christian song, as it has been in the past, so it is today a tremendous influence in the life of God’s people here on earth. Next only to the Bible, the Hymnody of Christendom is probable the most influential medium of religious culture that we possess. The Hymnody of the Christian Church can be compared to wells of living water. From these wells Christians drink deeply in public worship. By these wells Christian spiritual life is awakened, educated1, and sustained. From these wells Christians find strength and inspiration for their tasks during the week; they find power to carry on …
The Minor Biblical Prereformers Of The Xv Century, Walter Litke
The Minor Biblical Prereformers Of The Xv Century, Walter Litke
Bachelor of Divinity
We cannot speak of “Pre-reformers” unless we have a clear conception of the tem “reformation”. Too often we leave the Reformation historically unexplained as if it were a sudden upheaval in the life of the church, a change as sudden as the inversion of an hour glass. But no Reformer just drops from heaven. “In spite of its originality and freshness, the Reformation by no means interrupted the continuity of human affairs - on the contrary, it was, on the one hand, preceded and its way prepared by pious and enlightened men, who preached almost the very doctrines that distinguished …
The Blast That Wrecked The Pope's Power, Theo. Hoyer
The Blast That Wrecked The Pope's Power, Theo. Hoyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
Some years ago a writer in the Concordia Theological Monthly (I, 571-581) pointed out that the dynamic of Luther’s Reformation was his clear and powerful preaching of justification by faith alone. By his own experience Luther, by the grace of God, had recognized that the solo fide alone can give positive assurance to the sinner of God's pardon and his own eternal salvation; what he had found he taught and preached to others who were seeking certainty for the eternity beyond the grave and failed to find it in the work-righteousness of the papal teaching; and so Luther became the …
The Church Reform Of Henry Viii A Product Of The Rennissance, Theo. Hoyer
The Church Reform Of Henry Viii A Product Of The Rennissance, Theo. Hoyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
This paper is very frankly on attempt-an attempt to show, by an example taken from history, what kind of reformation the forces of the Renaissance were capable of producing and thus to illustrate, and help to establish, the truth of our assertion, so frequently made and rightly insisted on, that a real and actual reformation of the Church could not be produced by the Renaissance.
Indulgences, Theo. Hoyer
Indulgences, Theo. Hoyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
"One of the stock charges against the Catholic Church is that she sells indulgences for money. First hurled by Luther against the Dominican friar John Tetzel, authorized by Leo X to preach indulgences, this charge has persisted to the present day. While Luther’s blunt assertion that 'Tetzcl sold grace for money at the highest price' has long since been disproven, the impression is still conveyed by many historians that the Church at least in the Middle Agee engaged in wholesale traffic in indulgences… In the minds of vast numbers of our non-Catholic fellow-citizens, the word indulgences stands as the symbol …
The Legislative Sphere Of The Fourth Lateran Council, H. O. Keinath
The Legislative Sphere Of The Fourth Lateran Council, H. O. Keinath
Concordia Theological Monthly
"With desire have I desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer," Luke 22, 15, that was the text of the sermon with which Innocent III opened the sessions of the Fourth Lateran Council, 1215. Employing the allegorical method of Scripture interpretation, which was his favorite method, he found no difficulty in applying the "passover'' to the great council now assembled before him. And it was very true that he had desired this council "with desire.'' For, in a measure, this council and its activity was the great climax of his papal policy, a policy which had made …

The Dynamic Of The Lutheran Reformation, R R. Caemmerer
The Dynamic Of The Lutheran Reformation, R R. Caemmerer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Augsburg Confession is a confession of faith. But through its four hundred years it has become more: it is a witness to the persistence of the Lutheran Reformation. It was in its origin an episode in the growth of the Lutheran movement; it is a testimonial, after four centuries, to the permanent power of its principles. Why did the principles formulated under the inspiration of the Lutheran movement have this quality of persistence, becoming largely identified with the name and personality of Luther, maintaining their distinction through centuries and under varying circumstances? Why did not, for example, the Wycliffe …
The Attitude Of The Lutheran Church Of The 16th And 17th Centuries Towards Missions, Herbert H. Umbach
The Attitude Of The Lutheran Church Of The 16th And 17th Centuries Towards Missions, Herbert H. Umbach
Bachelor of Divinity
In this thesis it shall be our aim to see on the basis of the facts at hand what really was the sentiment of the 16th and l7th. century Lutheran Church as regards the sphere of missions. And of course, in the treatment of a subject like this, aiming at a presentation of historic facts, there is but little room for originality. I have not, therefore, sought so much to be original as to be truthful, and have endeavored to gather from every accessible source all such historic data as tended to establish the object in view. The old principle …
Modern Protestant Missions Before Carey, Lorenz C. Wunderlich
Modern Protestant Missions Before Carey, Lorenz C. Wunderlich
Bachelor of Divinity
The church of Jesus Christ is essentially a missionary organization. She is the product of missionary effort, her progress depends on evangelising endeavors. The very existence of the Church calls for mission, her self-preservation demands it. Missionary enterprise, however, is not the device of man, it is God's thought, plan, and work; it is as old as the eternal counsels of God regarding the salvation of mankind.
