Address At The Opening Of The School-Year In Concordia Seminary, St.Louis, Mo., L. Fuerbringer

Concordia Theological Monthly

''I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord which made heaven and earth." These words of the 121st Psalm come to my mind as I am about to speak the first word at the beginning of our new scholastic year, the 102d year in the history of our institution. I know of no better watchword for our students and for our instructors in these very serious and distressing times in the world, which affect also our Church and may affect our institution to a lesser or greater degree. …

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder Nov 1940

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Satan's paramour is the mistress of a thousand wiles. We cannot conclude this study of the evils of rationalism without studying the more subtle methods by which Satan would beguile us and lead us away from the truth of Christ and the certainty of His Word. If he cannot get us to falsify the Word, he will aim to keep us from applying the Word, from exercising our faith, from putting our sole reliance on the teaching of Scripture and the promise of the Gospel.

St. Paul On Social Relationships, Rthur Carl Piepkorn Oct 1940

St. Paul On Social Relationships, Rthur Carl Piepkorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

There are in visible Christendom two types of social theorists who derive small comfort from a study of St. Paul's letters. The first group comprises the extreme mystical individualists, who think of Christianity as being exclusively an individual escape from the wrath to come, while the second is composed of the social theorists, who insist that the Church's chief reason for existence is to prepare the nations of mankind for the establishment by God through the Church of "a home, in history and in the world, in which men shall be brothers in Christ under the paternal arch of [God's] …

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Rationalism is an evil thing, working untold harm. And harmonizing Scripture as practiced by Lutheran theologians is a form of rationalism. The harmonizers operate with the principles of rationalism. True, they do not apply them as widely as the gross rationalists. They restrict the harmonizing operation to selected portions of the Christian doctrine. But there they are engaged in the evil business of rationalism, in a wicked and harmful business.

Ba∏Tizω, K. G. Manz Sep 1940

Ba∏Tizω, K. G. Manz

Concordia Theological Monthly

It is a sad fact that men, swayed by a fatal bias, will make rash statements about, and posit propositions in regard to, Baptism which can be maintained neither in the face of the Scriptures nor before the forum of history. This is true, for instance, in reference to the question of immersion in the administration of Holy Baptism. The importance of the subject demands that we consider soberly what the Bible and the early history of the Church teach us in regard to the mode of baptism.

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder Sep 1940

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

"It will be seen from the above that our strictures of distinctive Reformed teachings can be summarized under the heads of rationalism and legalism, representing pernicious tendencies to which we all are prone and which seriously impair divine truth as revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures." (Popular Symbolics, p. 223.) We all are prone to rationalistic thinking. We Lutherans, too, need to guard against setting reason above revelation. We need it as much as any. What we have set down in the preceding articles was not addressed so much to the vulgar rationalists and the Reformed rationalists as to …

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder Aug 1940

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

There are more rationalists in the churches than go by that name. While the rationalists openly proclaim the sola ratio, the rule of natural reason, others market their wares under an alias. When the experience-theologians operate with the "enlightened reason" and the Roman Catholics make the church, or the Pope, their authority, they make natural reason a source and norm, the source and norm of theology. But that does not tell the whole story. Even among those who loudly proclaim the sola Scriptura there are many who have come under the sway of rationalism.

Preaching, if it is to serve its divine purpose, must have a very definite objective. This the preacher should not only know, but of this he should be conscious. What is the objective? Why preach?

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

There are more rationalists in the churches than go by that name. It is not a nice name. Rationalism is, as we have shown in the preceding articles, an ugly, wicked thing. It sets itself above Scripture, above God. Who would want to proclaim himself a rationalist? Our Liberals indeed are not ashamed of the name. But the great majority of theologians dislikes it. However, many of them, very many of them, are doing the very same thing the rationalists have been doing, and they do it because they like it. They fall into two groups. The first group, made …

The Passive And Active Obedience Of Christ, Bruno Martinelli Jun 1940

The Passive And Active Obedience Of Christ, Bruno Martinelli

Bachelor of Divinity

In describing the manner in which the God-Man Christ Jesus performed the mission for which God sent Him and to which the Son consented in willing obedience, Scripture speaks not only passive obedience of Christ, but just as clearly of His active obedience.

Reason Or Revelation?, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Making reason the norm, that is, in reality, the source of religious teaching, is a wicked, evil, noisome thing. We have shown that rationalism is engaged in a wicked, evil business. It is, at the same time, and necessarily so, an evil, noisome, pernicious thing.

The Great Reconciliation, E. W. Koehler Jun 1940

The Great Reconciliation, E. W. Koehler

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Great Reconciliation is truly the core and center of the entire system of Christian doctrine. All other teachings of the Bible either lead up thereto, or they proceed therefrom. Thus the doctrine of the Law and of sin shows us the need of a reconciliation. The doctrine of grace and of the redemption through Christ shows us how this reconciliation was effected. The doctrine of the means of grace and of faith teaches us how this reconciliation is made known and offered to sinners and how the individual personally apprehends the same. The doctrine of the Church shows that …

The Doctrine Of Offense, Arthur Weber Jun 1940

The Doctrine Of Offense, Arthur Weber

Bachelor of Divinity

The fundamental thought of this thesis revolves around the word skandalon. For that reason it will be necessary to begin with a study of its etymology in the effort to bring out the full connotation of the word as it is used in the Bible. It is apparent from the following etymological study that the word skandalon means "a stumbling block or trap which causes one to fall.”

This paper is a study of the doctrines of Liberalism. By being thoroughly familiar with these doctrines, the student will not be misled by the sheep’s clothing of orthodox phraseology which Liberalists often employ.

Demoniac Possession, Harold Maleske Apr 1940

Demoniac Possession, Harold Maleske

Bachelor of Divinity

Among the many miracles which the synoptic Gospels record, special prominence is given to the casting out of demons or devils who possessed those unfortunate people commonly known as demoniacs. In order to clarify the Biblical concept of demoniac possession, the following facts concerning the Scriptural doctrine of the devil and his hosts must be considered.

The Prophets And Political And Social Problems, Theodore Laetsch Apr 1940

The Prophets And Political And Social Problems, Theodore Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Any one that even casually reads the prophetic books of the Old Testament will see at once that the prophets took a very active interest in the social problems of their day and pointed out a way to their solution. The question is whether what they say on these problems still applies to conditions in the twentieth century, 2,500 and more years later than these prophets lived. A categorical denial of the applicability of Old Testament prophecy to our present-day conditions would come into conflict with such clear Scripture-passages as Rom.15: 4 and 2 Tim. 3: 16. On the other …

Erasmus's Pictures Of Church Conditions, Wm. Dallmann Apr 1940

Erasmus's Pictures Of Church Conditions, Wm. Dallmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Religious Pilgrimage describes the visit of Erasmus and Dean Colet to the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket, "one of the most religious pilgrimages in the world." In the south porch of the church stand three stone statues of men In armor, who with wicked hands murdered the holy man, with the names of their countries -Tusci, Fusci, and Betri. They have the same honor done them that is done to Judas, Pilate, Caiaphas, and the band of wicked soldiers whose images you may see carved upon stately altars; and their names are added that no one after them …

Defects Of Preaching, J. H. Fritz Mar 1940

Defects Of Preaching, J. H. Fritz

Concordia Theological Monthly

At the present time there is no little complaint about poor preaching, and whether we like it or not, we must admit that much poor preaching is heard from Lutheran pulpits also: sermons that are shallow in reference to their Biblical content, sermons that do not supply the needs of the people, sermons poorly constructed, sermons not well delivered. When people sit through a sermon Sunday after Sunday, they ought to be strengthened in their faith, warned against sin, especially the sins of their time, encouraged to lead a Christian life, comforted in their troubles, advanced in Christian knowledge. But …
