Notes On Chiliasm, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The doctrine that the saints will be raised from the grave at the beginning of the millennium and the wicked at the end of that period is not found in 1 Thess. 4, 16 and 1 Cor. 15, 23 f., but only in the chiliatic glossaries of these texts. Nor can it be found in Rev. 20,1-8. The chiliasts indeed insist thot this text distinctly teaches it.

Notes On Chiliasm, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Chiliasm, a mass of confusion, is furthermore a dangerous delusion, which because of its vicious tenets and pernicious influence must be banned from Christian theology. We shall present this matter under three heads.

Notes On Chiliasm, Th. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

Our pastors, who need to study chiliasm because of the wide and baleful influence this popular delusion is exerting within the Church, will find the larger volume to be a fair sample of the theology of millennialism.

Externalism And Sacramentalism, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

When the worship of God in the Old Testament in the form of so-called public services was first instituted, it had a very simple form. We are told that in the time of Enos men began to call upon the name of the Lord, that is, to proclaim the name of the Lord Jehovah, Gen. 4, 26. This preaching or teaching was clearly a sacramental act, just as the bringing of sacrifices, as in the case of Abel, was a sacrificial act, very likely attended by prayer.

What Is Conscience?, A. W. Meyer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Luther does not offer a clear-cut theoretical definition of conscience, but he speaks very perspicuously on the functions of conscience, and we shall take occasion to quote him repeatedly. Hauff, in his Real- konkordanz, calls conscience "das deutliche Bewusstsein von der sittlichen Guete unserer Gcsinnungen und Handlungcn, den inneren Richter, den jeder im Busen traegt" Standard Dictionary: "Conscience is the activity or faculty by which distinctions are made between the right and wrong in conduct and character." The Schaff- Herzog Encyclopedia defines conscience as "the moral sense of the individual applied to his own conduct."

The Chief Principles Of New Testament Textual Criticism, W. Arndt

Concordia Theological Monthly

In making the somewhat ambitious attempt of presenting in a brief article an account of the fundamental principles of textual criticism with respect to the New Testament, I am aware that many a reader will find some things not touched on which he would like to see treated; but considerations of space simply make it unavoidable that some material be omitted.

A Defense Of Luther Against Edgar A. Mowrer, Theo. Buenger

Concordia Theological Monthly

Mowrer does not write very much about the relation of Hitlerism to Church and religion; still he does permit himself a digression on Luther. which is one of the most unfounded and bitter attacks on the Reformer that has come to my attention. It is such a gross misrepresentation of historical truth that it brought doubts into my mind as to the reliability of Mowrer in other matters.

Predestination And Human Responsibility, Theo Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

The assertion of an irrational factor in the doctrine of predestination has been the reply of our Church both to the Calvinistic and the synergistic antitheses. Reason is incapable of bridging the gulf between special election and universal grace.

Tertulliani "Apologeticum", M. S. Sommer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Tertullian's Apologeticum is justly renowned. It is renowned because of its author, Tertullian, who because of the diction, style, extent, and time of his writings is recognized generally as the father of Church Latin. There is no doubt that later writers, among them men of such importance as St. Augustine, Ambrose, and Cyprian, were influenced by him. Of Cyprian it is said that be called Tertullian simply the teacher. And yet, important as all the writings of Tertullian are, many of them have now lost their claim to the attention of all except the specialist and the historian. But not …

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.

Objective Justification, Theo. Engelder

Concordia Theological Monthly

The lending article in the May issue of The Pastor's Monthly, entitled The Mediator of the New Testament, which was originally delivered by Dr. R. Lenski in the form of an address on Seminary Day at Columbus, contains, besides much valuable material, these statements: "2 Cor. 5, 18-20 is badly bungled by many, notably the Missourians. Preconceived notions violate the highly significant tenses.

Buchmanism, Theo. Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

Why should a movement that in many respects does not differ from the revivalism of the eighties and earlier decades cause as much commotion as the activities of the Oxford Group, or Buchmanism? What is its message? What are its practices? What, if any, are its merits?

This article contemplates no detailed historical analysis of the movement) but would treat it as of 1933, reserving a more complete discussion for a later issue, if it shall be deemed necessary.

The So-Called "Christian Interpolations" In Josephus, P. E. Kretzmann

Concordia Theological Monthly

A number of factors have combined to make a short article on the probability of Christian interpolations in Josephus, especially in his Antiquities of the Jews, desirable. For one thing, the number of recent books on Josephus and his works is surprisingly large, a fact which shows that scholars are taking a new interest in this field of history and criticism.

Separation Of Church And State, Theo. Graebner

Concordia Theological Monthly

American low regarding churches as presented in Professor Zollmnnn's revised edition of American Civil Church Law (now republished under the title American Church. Law*) is a wonderful accomplishment of jurisprudence. While America has borrowed much of her law from England, it seems that Europe must build upon our pattern of church relations the laws which will govern religious societies when the antiquated system of established, or state, churches has been abolished.
