God In The Moderen Novel With Special Reference To The Young Christian Reader, Walter Riess

Bachelor of Divinity

The modern novel carries a potent message. The Church ought make no mistake about that. The time for ignoring the novelist and his novel is over. We shall either or find a means to deal with the novel, or we shall let our Church suffer from it. But we shall not ignore it longer. The baby has grown far beyond expected proportion, and the church has a problem on her hands.

The youth of the Church are not, of course, the only ones involved in this problem. But it.is the contention of the writer that they are the most susceptible …

The Basic Content Of The Christian Gospel, Paul Harms

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

What is the basic content of the Christian Gospel? Why attempt to determine what it is that makes any message Gospel? As a church, we are very insistent that we are a gospel proclaiming people. If that is the case, we need to know what it is that we claim to speak when we speak. The very term "gospel” is used so often that it can readily be used in place of that which it supposedly names--the elements that compose it.

Training The Parish For Christian Citizenship, Richard R. Caemmerer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Citizenship is in the midstream of American thought. The Communist menace bids man review the foundations of government. Party politics utilizes radio and television in addition to earlier tools of press and propaganda. The great social problems of our time - public and social welfare, the racial question, the conflicts of capital and labor, control of economics-are all related to government and citizenship. Hence the questions concerning the Church's place in this program are more insistent than ever. More specifically: What shall the parish do to train its people for citizenship?

The Pastor After The Heart Of God, C. August Hardt

Truth In A Changing World, Leroy C. Rincker

Concordia Theological Monthly

When I survey the beauties of Concordia Seminary and attempt to evaluate its current contributions to the Church, I am impressed with evidences of great changes that have marked the progress of this school during the past thirty years. Its larger enrollment and increasing facilities, its graduate school and mission department, its revised curriculum and wider program, all are evidences of an awareness of opportunities to enter the many doors that are opening to our Church today.

Swedish Episcopal Letter On Sex Problems, F. E. Mayer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Marriage, a legalized union of one man and one woman, has as its purpose the common welfare and care of parents and children. It seeks the development and deepening of their character and is the absolute foundation of community life. The Church wishes to protect and preserve this gift of God.

The Ministry To The Instutionalized Sick, Paul R. Beck

Bachelor of Divinity

In treating the ministry to the institutionalized sick, two approaches are possible. The one is a discussion of the purpose or goal of the ministry to the sick. Simply put, the goal is to reconcile people to God. The entire ministry to souls in every phase of the church's work centers in this; “we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." (II Cor. 5:20) Basic is the concept that men in the ministry are to lead people to a right relationship with God though Christ.

The other approach is a discussion of the means for achieving described …

The Essentials Of Effective Pastoral Counseling, Otto E. Sohn

Concordia Theological Monthly

Pastoral counseling is an age-old art. When impenitent King David all but succumbed under the impact of a terrific sin, his divinely sent pastoral adviser, the prophet Nathan, deftly aided him to find a solution to his problem. By means of a well-chosen parable he first led him to recognize the enormity of his sin, and from there it was but a short step to confession, absolution, and a new lease on life. Scriptural examples of this blessed soul healing function could be greatly multiplied, especially from the ministry of Jesus and the Apostles.

A Survey Of Problems Confronting The Christian Missionary To The Rural Areas Of Japan, Paul H. Pallmeyer Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

In the following pages an attempt has been made to investigate these problems. No effort has been made to discuss the methods that have been used to deal with them, but where these problems have been solved or have been brought closer to solution owing to certain circumstances, the author has tried to take cognizance of this fact. This study cannot be exhaustive as will become apparent especially in Chapter IV, which deals with the religious life of the country people.

The Validity Of The Sociology Of Lutheranism Of Ernst Troeltsch, Eugene Brueggemann

Bachelor of Divinity

It is not within the scope of this paper to treat the theology of Ernst Troeltsch in any kind of detail. Much less is it the intention of this study to pass judgment on his theology as a whole, except in the most general way, and on the basis of the judgment of others. But in order to make the review of his work The Social Teaching of the Christian Churches more understandable, and to provide a background for the critique of his sociology of Lutheranism, a few, paragraphs at the very beginning will be devoted to a rapid overview …
