Eros And Agape In The Thought Of Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola, John Warwick Montgomery
Eros And Agape In The Thought Of Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola, John Warwick Montgomery
Concordia Theological Monthly
Anders Nygren's remarkable work, Agape and Eros, whose German edition appeared in Carl Stange's monographic series, "Studies of the Apologetics Seminar," and which opposes the interpretations both of Harnack and of Scholz, received from the outset high commendation as a classic theological production. In his review of the English translation of Part Two of Agape and Eros Sydney Cave wrote: 'Dr. Nygren's fresh and suggestive study puts many an old problem in a new light and in particular shows how false were some of Harnack's brilliant generalizations on the history of early Christian thought and piety…. It is some years …
Epictetus, Arthur W. Klinck
Epictetus, Arthur W. Klinck
Concordia Theological Monthly
Some time around the year A. D. 70, about the time of the destruction of Jerusalem, a lame and sickly little slave boy was added to the great household of Epaphroditus, freedman and favorite of Nero. Certainly there was nothing to recommend him physically. Yet it may be that that patience and perseverance of spirit so evident throughout his discourses had already begun to show itself in a certain nobility of demeanor which slave work could not erase and slave clothes could not conceal.

Foreword, J. W. Behnken
Concordia Theological Monthly
When at Langenchursdorf, Saxony, Germany, on Oct. 25, 1811, another boy, the fourth son and the eighth child in a large family of 12 children, was born to Pastor Gottlob Heinrich Walther and his wife Johanna Wilhelmina, nee Zschenderlein, these God-fearing parents could not have imagined that someday this child would be a prominent pastor, a profound theologian, an outstanding church leader in America.
The Distinction Between Law And Gospel, Robert C. Schultz
The Distinction Between Law And Gospel, Robert C. Schultz
Concordia Theological Monthly
The distinction between law and Gospel is one of the clearest systematic expressions of the doctrine of justification through faith without works formulated by the Lutheran Reformation. The reformers' understanding of the bondage of the will, of conversion and repentance, and of the Christian as being at one and the same time a righteous man and a sinner is directly related to this distinction. It is also one of their basic hermeneutical principles.
Walther's Editorial In The First Issue Of Der Lutheraner, Alex W. Guebert
Walther's Editorial In The First Issue Of Der Lutheraner, Alex W. Guebert
Concordia Theological Monthly
The German population of the western part of America is evidently growing day by day. Consequently there is also an increasing number of those who profess the same faith that Luther once proclaimed. Yet the members of no other church body are so forlorn as those of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Even those who still call themselves Lutheran live so far apart and are in such poor circumstances that in many places they are in no position to organize a congregation and call a Lutheran pastor who can minister to their spiritual needs.
The Paperback In The Pew, Donald L. Duffner
The Paperback In The Pew, Donald L. Duffner
Concordia Theological Monthly
To understand contemporary man that we might better reach him with the kerygma, we do well to listen to his spokesmen. A. L. Kershaw points out the need to listen to the "sensitive spirits" among the contemporary poets, novelists, playwrights, artists, and composers of the day, who, he avers, "have been far more sensitive to the judgment of God on the hollowness of our life and society than have the majority of religious leaders."
Three Words In Our Worship: Devotional Reflections, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
Three Words In Our Worship: Devotional Reflections, Arthur Carl Piepkorn
Concordia Theological Monthly
Hosanna is one of three words - the other two are Alleluia and Amen - that the church has taken over from the Hebrew into her worship in mere transliteration and without translation, as a frank and unabashed witness to her roots in the Israel of which she herself has become the successor under the New Covenant.
Pauline Allusions To The Sayings Of Jesus, John Theodore Mueller
Pauline Allusions To The Sayings Of Jesus, John Theodore Mueller
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, (January 1961), under this heading, subjects the problem of Paul’s allusions to sayings of Jesus to a critical but constructive scrutiny, examining not only specific allusions to some logion of Jesus but also entire doctrinal parallels to logia of our Lord, finding a rewarding field especially in the apostle's allusions to Christ's parables.
The Door No Man Can Shut, E. J. Friedrich
The Door No Man Can Shut, E. J. Friedrich
Concordia Theological Monthly
We have come this morning to honor three eminent servants of the Word for their many years of faithful service in the kingdom of God. Being partakers of their joy, we unite with them in thanking God for the manifold blessings which He has for so many years bestowed upon them and upon their ministries. We also take pleasure in commending them for their faithfulness, congratulating them upon their achievements, and thanking God for the enduring benedictions which have come to our church through their dedicated services. And so the keynote of our celebration is joy - the hallowed spiritual …
Rudolf Bultmann And The Sacrament Of Holy Baptism, John H. Elliott
Rudolf Bultmann And The Sacrament Of Holy Baptism, John H. Elliott
Concordia Theological Monthly
In the fullness of time God sent forth His Son, a pre-existent divine Being, who appears on earth as a man. He dies the death of a sinner on the cross and makes atonement for the sins of men. His resurrection marks the beginning of the cosmic catastrophe … all who belong to Christ's Church and are joined to the Lord by Baptism and the Eucharist are certain of resurrection to salvation. . ..

The New English Bible, Frederick W. Danker
The New English Bible, Frederick W. Danker
Concordia Theological Monthly
The appearance of The New English Bible: New Testament (NEB) may mark one of the most significant English religious publications since the Holy Scriptures first went to press. This work is not a retouching of old masters but wears with proud distinction and integrity the title new. Because it communicates in timely idiom and yet with timeless phrase it merits classification with the choicest products of English literary art.

The Theology Of The Word Of God In The Old Testament, Walter R. Roehrs
The Theology Of The Word Of God In The Old Testament, Walter R. Roehrs
Concordia Theological Monthly
In attempting to describe the Word of God we soon become aware of resorting to a process which from a purely logical point of view may be regarded as reasoning in a circle.
Functions Of Symbols And Of Doctrinal Statements, Erwin L. Lueker
Functions Of Symbols And Of Doctrinal Statements, Erwin L. Lueker
Concordia Theological Monthly
The following outline was given to the faculty of Concordia Seminary, Saint Louis, Oct. 9, 1959, as a guide for discussions of the functions served by confessional statements. In this presentation the writer did not attempt to give a complete historical survey of confessions, or to treat the most important confessions and statements, but to concentrate on the study of functions. Selections were made to show a variety of functions. Explanatory notes have been added for the orientation of the reader.
God's Acts As Revelation, Martin H. Scharlemann
God's Acts As Revelation, Martin H. Scharlemann
Concordia Theological Monthly
There Is!" replied Jeremiah to the secret query of King Zedekiah whether there was a word from the Lord for the problem at hand. In this instance it was a message of judgment, "You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon" (Jer. 37:17). Just how did the prophet know this? In what way did God make His will known in this Case? By a dream? In a vision? By some special intuition or divine insight? We are not told more than that "the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah" (e.g., 37:6). We are, however, assured …
Report On Spiritual Speaking. Reprint From The Living Church, Bishop Burrill, William H. Nes
Report On Spiritual Speaking. Reprint From The Living Church, Bishop Burrill, William H. Nes
Concordia Theological Monthly
From age to age the Church, in her fulfillment of the mission committed to her by our Lord, must seek with fervent effort to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. From the point of view of history in its totality, the Church must have made plain the wholeness and the fullness of God's truth and of God's love, and it is our faith that God will give his Church power to do this.
Kerygma And Didache In Christian Education, Richard R. Caemmerer
Kerygma And Didache In Christian Education, Richard R. Caemmerer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The present topic enables the discussion of a number of crucial questions. Kerygma, "proclamation," designates the message of the Christian Gospel. Didache, "instruction," has been employed to summarize the teaching of the Bible concerning Christian behavior. Are these terms employed with due attention to their Biblical usage? What is the relation of the one to the other? How are they to be used in religious education? Is religious education adequately structured by these two concepts in combination and in sequence? If so, what is the sequence to be?
The Geneva Bible, Carl S. Meyer
The Geneva Bible, Carl S. Meyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
On April 10, 1560, the last page of an English Bible was taken off the press in Geneva. To say that it "rolled off the presses" would be an anachronism. The task of printing this Bible had been begun in January 1558. Twenty-seven months therefore were required for its printing - "God knoweth with what fear and trembling we have been for the space of two years and more, day and night, occupied herein," its translator-pressmen testify. This was the famed Geneva Bible, now 400 years old, which only slowly gave way to the King James Version (1611) during the …
Casework Therapy And The Clergy, Robert Devries
Casework Therapy And The Clergy, Robert Devries
Concordia Theological Monthly
In addition to the usual social work services, the social service department of our agency makes available to clergymen casework therapy for parishioners who present problems which seemingly do not respond to pastoral counseling. Helping many people with varied problems during the last four years, therapy has here demonstrated its usefulness as an adjunct to pastoral counseling.
Vicarious Satisfaction: A Study In Ecclesiastical Terminology, Henry W. Reimann
Vicarious Satisfaction: A Study In Ecclesiastical Terminology, Henry W. Reimann
Concordia Theological Monthly
There is no dispute in modern theology on the importance of the work of Christ. Biblical, Reformation, and confessional studies have combined to recall theology to the importance of Christology and soteriology. Even the recent emphases on ecclesiology and eschatology, stemming from our ecumenical and apocalyptic times, have not been unproductive of more vital soteriological emphases.
The Vicarious Atonement In John Quenstedt, Robert D. Preus
The Vicarious Atonement In John Quenstedt, Robert D. Preus
Concordia Theological Monthly
The last decades have witnessed some significant and provocative studies in the doctrine of the Atonement. Two of these studies particularly have stimulated interest by the way in which they have broken with the old Lutheran and Protestant treatment of the doctrine while attempting at the same time to be entirely Biblical in the approach and presentation of the doctrine. On the one hand, Gustaf Aulen classifies the post-Reformation teaching as only a slight and more logical modification of the doctrine of Anselm, a teaching dominated by the idea of satisfaction and the legal motif. In contrast to this, Aulen …

A Quarter-Century Of Interchurch Relations: 1935-1960, Alfred O. Fuerbringer, Martin H. Franzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
In the latter part of 1960 the Synodical Committee on Doctrinal Unity observed the 25th anniversary of its appointment and organization. This would seem, therefore, to be a fitting time to survey that area of our Synod's history in which this committee's activities fall and to attempt an assessment of the committee's activities in that area during the past 25 years.
