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

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

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

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

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

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.

The Basis For Distinguising Moral Law From Ceremonial And Political Law In The Old Testament, George Loose

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this study is to attempt to find an answer to the question, and in doing so, to examine the bases which have been used in the Lutheran Church. Some attention will be given to the attitude toward the laws in Old Testament times, but this is just for the sake of background. It would provide material for another study. Some attention will be given also to the position of other Christian churches, but again only to clarify the position of the Lutheran Church.

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

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

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

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.

Luther Research In America 1900-1960, Walter Tillmanns

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The objectives of this study are to present a detailed overview of the three types of Luther research in America, the Protestant, the Roman Catholic, and the Lutheran, and then to evaluate this research. A Lutheran evaluation of this research must of necessity be Lutheran, but an attempt will be made to be fair in this evaluation to all. In other words, the assumption is that there has been progress in Luther research in America and that in spite of the ups and downs, conditioned by two World Wars and religious and philosophical prejudices, there is a deeper understanding of …

The Validity Of Baptism Performed By The Little Flock, Delbert Williams Gremmels

Bachelor of Divinity

Although there are many errors in the teachings of the Little Flock, the baptism performed by the group should be accepted as valid and re-baptism should not be required before admittance for membership in the Lutheran Church.

The Problem Of Christian And Church Fellowship, Ronald Frederick Blaess

Bachelor of Divinity

The history of the Christian Church from the first to the twentieth century could be written in terms of its struggle to maintain, to demonstrate, or to realise this fundamental unity between the Lord Jesus Christ and His body, the Christian Church, besought of God the Father by Him in His great high-priestly prayer, and declared above by St. Paul. But is this oneness an earthly or a spiritual oneness? Is it a oneness to be manifest in this life and world or only hereafter? Is it a oneness which can exist despite or inspite of divisions, frictions, and refusal …
