The Validity Of The Sacraments In Reformed Church-Bodies, P. E. Kretzmann
The Validity Of The Sacraments In Reformed Church-Bodies, P. E. Kretzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
The immediate occasion for the writing of this article is found in an address on "Some Thoughts on the Value of Baptism and the Supper," printed in the Review and Expositor for April, 1933, although a request had also been received for the distinction observed by Lutherans with regard to the Sacraments as observed by the Reformed churches. The address was delivered by J. H. Rushbrooke at the General Assembly of the Australia Baptist Union, and it has a very pronounced polemical point directed against the Lutheran doctrine of the Sacraments.

Rejection Of Eutychianism And Nestorianism In The "Genus Apotelesmaticum" And A Short Review Of Reformed Christology, Theo. Dierks
Rejection Of Eutychianism And Nestorianism In The "Genus Apotelesmaticum" And A Short Review Of Reformed Christology, Theo. Dierks
Concordia Theological Monthly
The incarnation of the Son of God for the salvation of the world is the central truth of the Gospel, and since the Church of the living God is the "pillar and ground of the truth," it has the duty to maintain this truth, to defend it against the assaults of error, and to transmit it to future generations. This we must keep in mind when considering the two natures in Christ; for at first we, too, might be inclined to agree with Hodge when he says: "Not content with admitting the fact that the two natures are united in …
Brief Statement Of The Doctrinal Position Of The Missouri Synod Of The Holy Scriptures, F Pieper
Brief Statement Of The Doctrinal Position Of The Missouri Synod Of The Holy Scriptures, F Pieper
Concordia Theological Monthly
We teach that the Holy Scriptures differ from all other books in the world in that they are the Word of God. They are the Word of God because the holy men of God who wrote the Scriptures wrote only that which the Holy Ghost communicated to them by inspiration, 2 Tim. 3, 16; 2 Pet.1, 21. We teach also that the verbal inspiration of the Scriptures is not a so-called "theological deduction," but that it is taught by direct statements of the Scriptures, 2 Tim. 3, 16; John 10, 35; Rom. 3, 2; 1 Cor. 2, 13. Since the …
Concerning The Doctrine Of Inspiration, J T. Mueller
Concerning The Doctrine Of Inspiration, J T. Mueller
Concordia Theological Monthly
Under the heading "The Place of the Holy Spirit in Biblical Inspiration" J. Huebner of Lincoln, Nebr., in the Lutheran Church Quarterly, presents to his readers for renewed consideration and study the doctrine of the inspiration of the Bible. The article is clearly written and challenges the Lutheran Church of to-day to express her mind on "the question of the place of the Holy Spirit in the creation of the sacred Scriptures.'' In spite of the author's efforts to remain conservative, the essay is somewhat imbued with the spirit of modern German theology. While space does not permit a detailed …
Preaching On The Augsburg Confession, Theo. Laetsch
Preaching On The Augsburg Confession, Theo. Laetsch
Concordia Theological Monthly
Preaching on the Augsburg Confession. The four-hundredth anniversary of Luther's Small Catechism, celebrated wherever the name of Luther was known, has undoubtedly been a source of richest blessing. Pastors and people become better acquainted with its history and contents, learned to appreciate this little book the more highly, and thanked God the more sincerely for this precious gift. The sermons preached on the Catechism during 1920 were not in vain, but productive of splendid results, sure as Is.55, 10. 11 still holds good. Let us hope that similar streams of blessing will flow from the celebration of the four-hundredth anniversary· …
