What The Liberal Theologian Thinks Of Verbal Inspiration, Th. Engelder Jun 1937

What The Liberal Theologian Thinks Of Verbal Inspiration, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

This is what J. S. Whale thinks: ''The modem man is not impressed by the mere citation of texts; he rightly wants to understand them, in their context. His very certainty that the Scriptures are the fount of divine wisdom - that it is indeed the Word of God which is spoken to him in the words of the Bible - has set him free from the bondage of the letter, the prison-house of verbal infallibility. It is no use shilly-shallying here; loyalty to truth in the shape of literary and historical criticism forbids it.


What The Liberal Theologian Thinks Of Verbal Inspiration, Th. Engelder May 1937

What The Liberal Theologian Thinks Of Verbal Inspiration, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

He thinks it is an obnoxious thing. He abhors the doctrine that the whole Bible is given by inspiration of God, every word of it absolutely infallible. He execrates verbal inspiration. J. S. Whale, a Congregationalist, president of Chesunt College, Cambridge, takes occasion to speak of it in his treatise The Christian Answer to the Problem of Evil, published 1936. He speaks of it in this wise: "The modern man is not impressed by the mere citation of texts; he rightly wants to understand them in their context.

New Revisons Of Comparative Religion, Th. Graebner Sep 1936

New Revisons Of Comparative Religion, Th. Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The three stages of down-town metropolitan real estate: the brick store, the steel and concrete sky-scraper, the parking lot, fitly describe the history of the comparative study of religion. The foundation was laid in philology when Max Mueller together with many a less brilliant, but more profound student of language developed the imposing structure of the science of religion on the basis of etymological study. The structure was laid low less than fifty years later, and on its place was erected the colossal pile of the anthropological study of religion, based on the evolutionary theory. The reconstruction of Old Testament …

The Principles And Teachings Of The Dialectical Theology, Th. Engelder Jun 1936

The Principles And Teachings Of The Dialectical Theology, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Dialecticism, a branch of Calvinism, vitiates the chief article of the Christian religion, the doctrine of justification by faith. It does injure to the cor ecclsriae. The article of the grace of God in Christ, of justification by faith, gives the Church its life; in terms of dogmatics, it forms the material principle of Christion theology. Calvinism, however, makes "the dogma of God's eternal election the cor ecclsriae, the heart of the Church." Furthermore, by taking the heart out of the means of grace in denying that they confer the forgiveness of sins, it renders justification by faith chimerical. And, …

The formal principle of the dialectical theology is not that of the Reformation. What about its material principle? The material principle of Lutheran theology is the doctrine of justification through faith, salvation by grace.

The Principles And Teachings Of The Dialectical Theology, Th. Engelder Apr 1936

The Principles And Teachings Of The Dialectical Theology, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Enthusiasm in its gross form and Enthusiasm in its dialectical form is on evil thing. It is destructive of all assurance, of the certainty of salvation, and of the certitude of the doctrine. There can be assurance only where the objective character of redemption, the objective character of the means of grace, and the objective validity of the teaching is recognized.


The Principles And Teachings Of The Dialectical Theology, Th. Engelder Mar 1936

The Principles And Teachings Of The Dialectical Theology, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The principles ruling the dialectical theology are not those of the Reformation. Brunner repudiates the formal principle of Protestantism, the sola Scriptura. He refuses to accept Scripture as the sole authority, the only source and basis of doctrine. The bare words of Scripture cannot establish a doctrine. “In earlier days this discussion [concerning the Virgin Birth] used to be cut short by saying briefly, ‘It is written'; that is, with the aid of the doctrine of verbal inspiration. To-day we can no longer do this, even if we would." (P. 823.) Brunner is consistent. Since he rejects the real inspiration …

Those who need to inform themselves on the teachings of the dialectical theology and on the claim that the application of its principles will effect the needed reformation of Christian theology and the Christian Church, will find in E. Brunncr's The Mediator the fullest: presentation of these teachings and principles that: has so for appeared. While Karl Barth and E. Brunner, the two outstanding leaders of this school of theology, frequently clash, they are agreed on certain fundamentals.

Present-Day Problems Of Lutheranism, F. Kreiss Jan 1936

Present-Day Problems Of Lutheranism, F. Kreiss

Concordia Theological Monthly

The Lutheran World Convention devoted the greater part of its sessions to the reading and discussion of reports on important problems confronting the Lutheran Church to-day. Unfortunately, for lack of time, the open discussion was frequently reduced to a minimum, so that it was difficult to ascertain what the majority of the delegates thought about the subjects in question.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church The True Visible Church On Earth, W. Arndt Nov 1935

The Evangelical Lutheran Church The True Visible Church On Earth, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

When Dr. Walther, at the so-called General Meeting of our Synod, held in St. Louis in 1866, began the discussion of his essay on the topic "The Evangelical Lutheran Church the True Visible Church of God on Earth," it was realized by the delegates that a highly important subject engaged their attention; and while on account of lack of time only a part of the essay could be considered, it was resolved to print it in its entirety in order that at the District conventions its remaining sections might be studied and discussed.

The Enhypostasia Of Christ's Human Nature, Walter Albrecht Aug 1935

The Enhypostasia Of Christ's Human Nature, Walter Albrecht

Concordia Theological Monthly

Accordingly we teach the enhypostasia of the human nature of Christ, i. e., the taking part of the human nature in the personality of the divine nature. This we find to be the teaching of Scripture. It teaches: "The Word was made flesh," John 1, 14. God become man not by the conversion of God into a man, but by the Second Person of the Trinity adding a human nature to His divine person.


Notes On Chiliasm, Th. Engelder Jul 1935

Notes On Chiliasm, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Chiliasm vitiates the Gospel principle. Salvation is by grace alone. Salvation is by the Gospel alone. This truth constitutes the principle of Christian theology and of all Christian thought. It dominates Christian theology. It is intolerant of the conception, in any form, that salvation can come to man by any other way than by the Gospel of grace.


Notes On Chiliasm, Th. Engelder Jun 1935

Notes On Chiliasm, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Chiliasm is a vicious delusion, in its demands and a strong deluion in that it can enforce it demands; it must therefore be banned from Christian theology. The first count of this grave indictment specified the chiliastic treatment of Holy Scripture, as developed in the two preceding articles of this series.
