Foreword, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

When in 1855 Lehre und Wehre, the chief ancestor of the Concordia Theological Monthly, made its appearance, it could be compared to a vigorous youth who with his right hand held a loft the Bible and with his left the Confessions of the Lutheran Church. From the very beginning it was apparent to all readers that the editors conceived of their task as consisting in promulgating and defending, with all the theological apparatus and equipment available, "God's Word and Luther's doctrine pure.'' Month after month scholarly articles, pointed paragraphs on current religious happenings, and informing book reviews come before the …

Introduction To Sacred Theology, J. T. Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Nature and Constitution of Sacred Theology.

Theology and Academic Freedom.

Modern rationalistic theology demands that the official teachers of the Church, both in the pulpit and in the lecture chair, should be invested with full academic freedom. That is to say, they should be allowed to assert their subjective opinions without any restrictions whatsoever; oven Holy Scripture must not be forced upon them as the only source and standard of the faith which they are to inculcate.

Introduction To Sacred Theology, J T. Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Nature and Constitution of Sacred Theology.

The Purpose of Christian Theology

In the performance of his sacred functions the Christian theologian must at all times conscientiously keep in mind the true objective of his theological activity. The purpose of sacred theology, so far as it regards lost and perishing mankind, is not the spread of culture nor the establishment of civic righteousness on earth nor the satisfaction of the intellectual craving of the human mind nor the enrichment of human knowledge, but the eternal salvation of sinners.

Has Our Church A Quarrel With Science?, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

He who makes clear distinctions teaches well. So says the old Latin proverb. Or: He whose definitions are clear at the outset, will most likely succeed in presenting his subject in a convincing manner. Let us therefore begin with some definitions, in keeping with the wording of our topic.

Introduction To Sacred Theology, J T. Mueller

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Nature and Constitution of Sacred Theology.

Primary and Secondary Fundamental Doctrines.

The fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion may be divided into primary and secondary fundamental doctrines. Also this distinction is Scriptural, practical, and useful, for it helps the Christian theologian to discriminate rightly between the fundamental doctrines themselves. As we have learned, fundamental doctrines are such as constitute the foundation of the Christian faith; yet not all fundamental doctrines constitute this foundation in the same manner. Hollas rightly observes (53): "All the fundamental articles of faith must necessarily be known, but the grades of this necessity are different." …

High-Pressure Church-Work, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

High-Pressure Church-Work.

There is a very significant article in the New Republic of June 10, 1931, the gist of which is reproduced in the August, 1931, number of the Readers Digest. Its general line of thought is that of a similar article on porch-climbers in the Forum of April, 1931. Both articles speak at some length and with considerable frankness of high-powered salesmanship and of modern selling methods in general. And their conclusions are not at all favorable to this form of selling, with all the machinery that has been assembled to serve the end of this high-pressure salesmanship, which …

The Inspiration Of The New Testament, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our fourth reason for accepting the inspiration of the New Testament on a level with the Old Testament is found in the internal evidence offered by references to earlier writings in the later books of the first century, that is, those contained in the convolute of the New Testament as we now have it, as well as those which indicate that letters or treatises were to be kept, thus acquiring canonical standing in the Church. To begin with the latter point first, we have such passages as Luke 1, 1-4, in which the writer expressly makes the claim that his …

Paul As Citizen, W Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

Does the subject need on apology Paul stands before us as the evangelizer of the Greco-Roman world, the greatest missionary that ever lived, as the preacher of righteousness by faith, as the great champion of the doctrine of grace, as the inspired penman of a great part of our New Testament, and to treat of him in the role of citizen might seem a descent from the sublime to the commonplace. But there are passages in the Bible in which he is depicted in this role. You cannot ignore them; they are there for a purpose and certainly must receive …

The Inspiration Of The New Testament, P E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Inspiration is that miraculous, supernatural process by and through which God, specifically the Holy Spirit, at specified times and for specific purposes, caused certain men, the prophets of the Old Testament and the apostles (and evangelists) of the New Testament, to write down in words of human speech both such historical incidents as they were already familiar with and such other accounts of persons and events, together with immediate revelations concerning future events and the mysteries of salvation, as are a matter of His divine omniscience and wisdom alone, so that every possibility of error, not only in every main …
