Liberal Theology And The Reformed Churches., F. E. Mayer
Liberal Theology And The Reformed Churches., F. E. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The characteristic elements of the thought world during the put 75 years may be reduced to two outstanding and significant movements: science and democracy. Man placed an almost absolute faith in the omnicompetence of science. Science became a cult. The empirical method of science was considered the only means by which truth could be discovered and judged. The "scientific" method attempted to displace revelation; it branded the Scriptural theology as metaphysics and relegated it to the museums; it tended to eliminate the idea of God from human thought and to make man self-sufficient; its astronomical and biological theories questioned the …
A Review Of Moehlman's "School And Church: The American Way.", O. C. Rupprecht
A Review Of Moehlman's "School And Church: The American Way.", O. C. Rupprecht
Concordia Theological Monthly
Which is ''the American way" for the religious training of American children? According to Dr. C.H. Moehlman, Professor of the History of Christianity at the Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, the American way is a different one from that pursued in Christian parochial schools. It is different, too, from the plan of "various religious groups" who "are conducting a vigorous propaganda for the return of the formal teaching of religion to the public classroom" (p. ix). The American way is to let public schools (in preference to parochial schools) and churches exist side by side, and to encourage them in at least …
Election Of Grace A Comforting Doctrine, Ottmar Cloeter
Election Of Grace A Comforting Doctrine, Ottmar Cloeter
Bachelor of Divinity
Martin Luther, in what many consider his “magum opus”, his '"De Servo Arbitrio", has drawn a fine line of distinction between two aspects of God., which he calls the "Deus absconditus" (hidden God) and the "Deus revelatus” (revculed God); "the majestic, glorious God in whom we live and move and have our being, and God manifest in Christ; God 's · unsearchable judgements and ways past finding out, and His merciful promises in the Gospel.
Mariolatry In The Roman Catholic Church Since 1854, Lawrence Reilly
Mariolatry In The Roman Catholic Church Since 1854, Lawrence Reilly
Bachelor of Divinity
The aim of the paper is very ably expressed by Dr. David S.Schaff, of Union Theological Seminary: “To the popular imagination in countries under Papal control Mary occupies virtually the same place of a goddess and the practical result would seem inevitably to be that through the gracious leniency associated with woman and motherhood, sinful habits will be condoned which Christ’s teachings forbid. The wonder is that appeals to another should be commended in view of Christ’s invitation, ‘Come to Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.'' We feel very definitely that …

The Mystery Of The Trinity, N. Friedmann
The Mystery Of The Trinity, N. Friedmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
"I believe with sincere faith that the Creator-Blessed be His name! - is One and that there is no other unity such as He is." These words, confessed by Jews, form the second of the thirteen articles of faith drawn up by Maimonides for the purpose of combating the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. This article of faith is the chief basis of the obstinate opposition of present-day Jewry to the Christian religion. They assert that believing in a Triune God is the same as believing in polytheism, forbidden by God in the First Commandment. It is our purpose to …

Fellowship With God, C. August Hardt
Fellowship With God, C. August Hardt
Concordia Theological Monthly
By way of introduction let me say a few words about the reasons for submitting a paper on Koinonia. It is well known that the word "fellowship" has been very much in the foreground in recent years, especially in connection with the efforts of Lutheran bodies to establish church fellowship. We, too, have had committees at work discussing doctrinal differences with a view to bringing about Scriptural unity as a basis of church and altar fellowship. Some in our midst have looked upon these negotiations with doubts and apprehensions; others, however, feel that we have not even gone far enough …
The Social Gospel, P. E. Kretzmann
The Social Gospel, P. E. Kretzmann
Concordia Theological Monthly
''Why bother about the social gospel?" a man recently told the present writer. ''The social gospel is dead and buried. No one concerns himself about it any more. It has been superseded by the theology of Karl Barth in its various forms, by the religious philosophy of Kierkegaard, by the neo-orthodoxy of Niebuhr and others, and by a number of other movements and developments."
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
"O ye theologians, what are you doing? Think ye that it is a trifling matter when the sublime Majesty forbids you to teach things that do not proceed from the mouth of the Lord and are something else than God's Word? It is not a thresher or herdsman who is here speaking" (Luther XIX: 821). When men prefer those things that originate in their own minds to those that proceed out of the mouth of the Lord, they are doing an evil thing. We shall discuss this matter under four heads.
Karl Barth, John Theodore Mueller
Karl Barth, John Theodore Mueller
Concordia Theological Monthly
For this essay we have chosen a simple title: Karl Barth. We could not do otherwise. As yet it is too early to speak conclusively of Barth's theology and influence. That may be done fifty or perhaps a hundred years from now; all that is written on Barth during his lifetime is only provisional.
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
Satan has brought untold woe upon the Church by inducing the Pope to deny the right of private judgment and suppress the exercise of it. And Satan brings additional woe upon the Church by inducing men to turn the God-given right of private judgment into a license to sit in judgment on Holy Scripture, to criticize and discard it. That is our second proposition: There is an exercise of private judgment which God absolutely forbids and condemns.
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
"Ueber die Lehre zu erkennen and zu richten, kommt allen und jeden Christen zu, und zwar so, dass der verflucht ist, der solches Recht um ein Haerlein kraenkt" (Luther XIX:341). The matter of exercising private judgment is of supreme importance. (1) They commit a monstrous crime who keep God's people from dealing directly with God's Word and judging all doctrine on the basis of it. (2) Blessed is the community where the right of private judgment is recognized and practiced.
The Essential Elements Of A Christian Congregation, William Schuster
The Essential Elements Of A Christian Congregation, William Schuster
Bachelor of Divinity
Our purpose in this paper shall be to determine according to scripture the essential elements of the particular church. We shall attempt to answer the question, What is the local Christian congregation.
Justification In Article Iii Of The Formula Of Concord, John Meyer
Justification In Article Iii Of The Formula Of Concord, John Meyer
Bachelor of Divinity
The doctrine of justification is the article by which the Church stands or falls. It is, therefore, almost impossible to overstress its importance or to understress the danger of error in this most fundamental of all teachings. And so studying an error in the doctrine of justification is profitable for understanding and appreciating the true doctrine of Scripture in other points as well.
The Doctrine Of The Atonement In New England Theology, Ralph Pomeroy
The Doctrine Of The Atonement In New England Theology, Ralph Pomeroy
Bachelor of Divinity
Our major concern in this thesis is the doctrine of the atonement in New England theology. However, what has gone before is essential to a proper understanding, not only of Edwards' views with regard to the atonement, but also of the men whom he influenced. We shall take up now the study of the doctrine of the atonement according to Edwards. For a proper comprehension of the doctrine, we shall consider it both from the development as suggested by Fisher, and also from the excellent and thorough consideration of the doctrine by Franks.
Intercessory Prayer Its Nature And Efficacy, Robert Hoyer
Intercessory Prayer Its Nature And Efficacy, Robert Hoyer
Bachelor of Divinity
Prayer is one of the less controversial subjects, as far as logical sequence of its presentation is concerned. It has been divided on many fundamenta dividomi, private and public, personal and impersonal, for temporal and spiritual blessings, subjective and objective. For the purposes of this thesis, two of these fundamenta have been adopted; we are to treat of objective personal prayer. This has been given the convenient name: intercessory prayer, from the Latin inter: between, and cedere: to pass. To intercede is defined by Webster: To act between parties with a view to reconcile differences, to make intercession; to beg …
Catholic Action, Paul A. Zimmerman
Catholic Action, Paul A. Zimmerman
Bachelor of Divinity
According to well established policy the Catholic Church considers it its right and responsibility to rule in temporal affairs as well as in spiritual. Therefore, the Papacy today is striving through Catholic Action to condition the social and moral thinking of society so that the leadership of the Catholic Church may eventually be accepted in every field of human activity. The tremendous implications of this program demand thorough study. In our discussion of Catholic Action we shall first trace the development of Catholic Action from its beginning to the present day. We shall then consider its theological bases. Finally, we …
Harnack's Theological Positions, W. Arndt
Harnack's Theological Positions, W. Arndt
Concordia Theological Monthly
The inclusion of Adolf Harnack in this series of articles on epoch-making modern theological leaders who promoted error requires an explanation. Strictly speaking, he was not the founder of a school of theology. He did not teach a system of doctrine of his own. In him we are dealing with a church historian, and not with a dogmatician. Still, when the persons to be treated in this series were listed, it was felt that Harnack's name would have to be included because in the period extending from about 1895 to 1920 he was the most frequently mentioned theologian of Germany, …
Circumcision And Baptism, F. R. Zucker
Circumcision And Baptism, F. R. Zucker
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Bible does not speak very frequently on the meaning or the purpose of Holy Baptism and less frequently on the meaning and the purpose of Circumcision, and still less on the mutual relation of the two sacraments or on a comparison of Circumcision with Baptism. What little the Bible has to say on the points could be quoted in very short time. (Col. 2:17; Heb.10:1.)
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
The Right And Wrong Of Private Judgment, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
In his recent book Luther and His Work the Catholic writer Joseph Clayton says: "To this day Martin Luther is praised ... for bringing the gift of private judgment in faith and morals to all believers. On the other hand, among Catholics Luther is held in abhorrence as an apostate monk who drew countless souls into heresy and whole nations into schism; the evil of whose life has lived after him." According to Luther "No one, neither pope nor bishop, has any right to dictate to the individual Christian what he shall or shall not believe. . . The notion …

Ritschl's Theology, F. E. Mayer
Ritschl's Theology, F. E. Mayer
Concordia Theological Monthly
"Ritschlianism is the most highly developed form, that theological empiricism has yet taken." This is the claim of the former dean of the Methodist Boston University School of Theology, Professor Knudson. The majority of liberal theologians hail Ritschl as their champion, because the empirical method is the formal principle, the principium cognoscenti, of American liberal theology. Three German theologians are largely responsible for the wide acceptance of the empirical method in modern theology: Schleiennacher, Ritschl, Troeltsch. Schleiermacher is the father of the modern empirical method in theology.
Schleiermacher, His Theology And Influence., John Theodore Mueller
Schleiermacher, His Theology And Influence., John Theodore Mueller
Concordia Theological Monthly
The Editorial Committee of this periodical has planned a series of articles on leading theologians of modern times who in a preeminent way have influenced and molded theological thought. These essays are to supply the necessary background of the theology current in our time, are to be practical rather than scientific, and are to present the various theological systems in such a way that even the reader unacquainted with technical literature will gain a clear picture of their traits and significance. This objective imposes a limitation on the essayists compelling them to remain within a narrow scope; but this limitation …
The Meaning Of Augustinte's "De Civitate Dei" For Our Day, Carl S. Meyer
The Meaning Of Augustinte's "De Civitate Dei" For Our Day, Carl S. Meyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
An examination of Augustine's De Civitate Dei and its meaning for our day, therefore, needs no apology. During the Middle Ages, indeed, the treatise by St. Augustine had far greater meaning than it has now, for the world of today has been secularized by forces which the fourth and fifth as well as the twelfth and thirteenth centuries did not know. But even for us many of the principles supported by Augustine must enter into our Weltanachauung if we are to appraise the forces and movements around us aright. The twentieth century cannot shrug its shoulders and say, ''Why be …
