Pray Anyway, Raymond C. Schulze

Concordia Theological Monthly

How Professor Hoyer arrived at the title "Pray Any Way" is an illustration, however poor, of part of today's talk. When we were talking about this on the phone, I gave him the title "Pray Anyway” - and it came through to him "Pray Any Way." As with prayer itself, one wonders: Was the connection poor? When I saw the thing in print, I wondered: Was there anyone on the other end? Did the one who answered hear what I said but then disagree and write, "Pray Any Way" anyway?

Editorial: Today’S Challenge To The Church, Lloyd H. Goetz

Concordia Theological Monthly

The church has never had any other challenge than that of the Great Commission, and it ought to anticipate no new responsibilities or opportunities in the decade ahead. Nor could any task be more difficult and meaningful than that of continuing Christ's ministry.

Erasmus-Luther: One Theology, One Method, Two Results, Gottfried G. Krodel

Concordia Theological Monthly

Luther and Erasmus were both biblical humanists, both affirmed the grace of God as central, but each constructed a different theological system. Erasmus always regarded theology as a descriptive task, best advanced by continuous disputations. Luther saw the Gospel as the crystal-clear center of Scripture, the saving knowledge revealed by God. Because of this conviction, Luther viewed theology as the task of making assertions, of boldly confessing one's faith.

Early Israel As The Kingdom Of Yahweh, Albert E. Glock

Archaeological evidence indicates that early Israel as the kingdom of Yahweh functioned on the analogy of Ancient Near Eastern vassal states. In the religion of Early Israel both law and warfare were vehicles for the extension of Yahweh's covenant rule.

The Influence Of Archaeological Evidence On The Reconstruction Of Religion In Monarchical Israel, Horace D. Hummel

Eschatology In The Teachings Of Jesus, Kenneth Heinitz

Concordia Theological Monthly

A study of biblical language about kingdom and life reveals that both terms are eschatological and that both emphasize the quality of Christian living rather than presenting a timetable for the advent of the Parousia. Jesus brings both and calls men to decision. Kingdom and life are present possessions of believers, and the day of judgment will bring their culmination. When Jesus spoke of the signs of His Parousia, He was speaking of the signs that point to the coming of the Son of Man rather than to the actual coming itself. Eschatological hope characterizes all that the Christian does.

Some Ancient Documents And Some Current Thoughts, Thomas C. Hartman

Concordia Theological Monthly

Critical scholarship has made many valuable contributions to our knowledge of the Old Testament. A series of examples illustrates this point. We need to be sure that we retain the priority of exegesis over dogmatics.

Sic Et Non: Are We So Sure Of Matthean Dependence On Mark?, H. P. Hamann

Concordia Theological Monthly

Let’s take another look at the view that Matthew depends on Mark, especially at the way in which G. M. Styler has recently defended it. The author then examines the pros and cons of the arguments and concludes that the case for Markan priority is not as open and shut as some would argue.
