The Prophets Of The New Testament Church, Gerhardt C. Asmus Apr 1934

The Prophets Of The New Testament Church, Gerhardt C. Asmus

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this study, therefore, is to find out as much as possible about the prophets of the New Testament Church, to find out who they were, where they were found, and what was their function, and what was their influence in the early Christian Church. The study is so organized as to give the reader a brief overview of the prophetic institution prior to the time of the New Testament Church first, as this will lend to a better understanding of those chapters which speak of the New Testament prophets themselves. Whenever Scripture is quoted, the Authorized Version …


Antecedents Of The Common Order Of Service, Daniel E. Poellot Apr 1934

Antecedents Of The Common Order Of Service, Daniel E. Poellot

Bachelor of Divinity

I have restricted the scope of this treatise to the developments of that part of our Common Service which is commonly known as the Service of the Word, in the Ancient, Medieval, and Reformation Periods, beginning with the Scriptural sources of those rubrics, and ending with illustrations of practices as given in the Lutheran Kirchenordnungen of the 16th century. Later references are more incidental. Furthermore, the ceremonial of the Common Service also lies beyond the scope of this essay, as also the hymnology of the Lutheran Church is a field for itself.


The Musical Rendition Of The Psalms In The First Temple, Lawson Fackler Knight Apr 1934

The Musical Rendition Of The Psalms In The First Temple, Lawson Fackler Knight

Bachelor of Divinity

The song of the congregation is a devotional form of musical art. The singing, to be sure, is not that of mechanical perfection; there is not to be found the delicate nuances of the artist; but when the entire congregation lifts its heart and voice in the praise and adoration of almighty God, the loving Father, there is a spiritual quality in the music that makes the hymns a magnificent setting for the preaching of God's word. The hymns build up to the climax of the sermon; they frame the sermon in beauty. The singing of hymns is an important …

The Catechism In Public Worship, Theo. Laetsch Mar 1934

The Catechism In Public Worship, Theo. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the year 1516 Luther had been called as pastor of St. Mary's, or the City Church of Wittenberg, and at once began to expound the catechism to his congregation. Beginning in June and continuing to February, 1517, he preached on the Ten Commandments, following up this series by another on the Lord's Prayer, February till April.


The Thorough Exegetical Study Of The Sermon Text The Conditio Sine Qua Non For Good Sermonizing, J. H. Fritz Mar 1934

The Thorough Exegetical Study Of The Sermon Text The Conditio Sine Qua Non For Good Sermonizing, J. H. Fritz

Concordia Theological Monthly

The questions, Shall the preacher use a text? and, Shall the preacher preach the Word of God? are not identical. The preacher should always preach the Word of God, but this he might do without the use of a sermon text. The use of a sermon text, however, has not only come to be an established custom, but there are good reasons for continuing this custom: it makes for bettor preaching.

The Argument Of St. Augustine's "Confessions", M. S. Sommer Mar 1934

The Argument Of St. Augustine's "Confessions", M. S. Sommer

Concordia Theological Monthly

The great religious classic of the centuries between Paul and Luther is Augustini Confessiones. The high valuation which was ever placed upon this book of Augustine's is attested by the many editions and translations of it which have issued from the presses. For brevity's sake we refrain from quoting the warm praise which Dr. Walther bestowed upon this work.


The Practical Application In The Sermon, E. J. Friedrich Mar 1934

The Practical Application In The Sermon, E. J. Friedrich

Concordia Theological Monthly

The practical application of the text is one of the most important features of the Christian sermon. In fact, it constitutes its distinctive characteristic, that element which distinguishes the sermon from all other religious discourses. This is what Spurgeon had in mind when he said: "Where the application begins, the sermon begins.''

The article is so important that wo cannot refrain from submitting its main statements to our readers, with a few comments of our own.

Reflections On The Status Of Our Preaching, E. J. Freidrich Feb 1934

Reflections On The Status Of Our Preaching, E. J. Freidrich

Concordia Theological Monthly

While not a few of those who answered our questionnaire stated that our preparatory schools and seminaries cannot, at least not as a rule, be held responsible for poor preaching heard in our circles, the general opinion seems to be that the alarming symptoms evident in our pulpit work do "reflect in a measure upon the training received at our preparatory schools and seminaries."

Denifle Redivivus, Theo. Hoyer Feb 1934

Denifle Redivivus, Theo. Hoyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Romanists like to create the impression that the great "Protestant revolt" of the sixteenth century did not, after all, harm the "Church" much, that they can well afford to look down upon the Protestants with calm disdain and assume the attitude of "Let the dogs bark at the moon." But sometimes the tension becomes too great, and somebody cracks under the strain, and then the world may see that the wound is there, deep and sore. Such an outburst of hatred and fury was Denifle's work, 1904, on Luther and Lutheranism according to his own statement in the introduction. We …

Foreword: That The Ministry Be Not Blamed., P. E. Kretzmann Jan 1934

Foreword: That The Ministry Be Not Blamed., P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

There are grave dangers confronting the Christian ministry, and specifically the Lutheran ministry, in these trying days. We have every reason to assume that we are living in that period of the world's history of which the Savior stated: "Except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved," Matt. 24, 22. The false Christs and the false teachers of our times are proceeding with ever greater boldness, partly by distorting Scriptures and propagating antichristian teaching, partly by according to the various pagan religions a position of equality with the Christian religion and thus practically denying to Christianity …


Beginnings In Indianapolis, H. M. Zorn Jan 1934

Beginnings In Indianapolis, H. M. Zorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

In the mosaic of Missouri Synod history the story of the confessional Lutheranism in Indianapolis ought to be a stone, however small, of some interest. As so often, this story centers upon the spiritual development of one man.

Long Or Short Sermon Texts?, John H. Fritz Jan 1934

Long Or Short Sermon Texts?, John H. Fritz

Concordia Theological Monthly

Taking it for granted that the sermon should be based on a certain text, the question arises, Shall it be a long or a short text? By a long text we do not necessarily mean a text of ten to twenty or more verses. The pericope for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany, Rom. 18, 8-10, although containing only three verses, is not a short text. And speaking of a short text, we do not mean a brief saying of Scripture which is torn out of its context and given a meaning different from that which it originally had, nor a …
