Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lutherans in the Movements for Church Union What is offered in this-book is a reprint taken from articles as they appeared in the Lutheran Quarterly (gettysburg, during the years from January 1918 to July 1921. The suggestion for the preparation of these detailed historical reviews was received when in the fall of 1917 we promised to read a paper before the American Society of Church History in New York on the Union Movements between the Lutherans and the Re formed. After having given the matter a little more thought we felt that it was impossible to treat this sub ject with any degree of adequacy in a single paper. We therefore decided to limit ourselves in our reading before the Society to a discussion of the union movements in the Sixteenth century, which culminated in the Witten berg Concord, and then to continue our investigation along the line indicated in the table of contents of this book, thus covering all the efforts at union with the Re formed, in which the Lutheran Church has been engaged. The contents of Chapter V was read at another meeting of the American Society of Church History. The author is grateful to Drs. William W. Rockwell and Henry Preserved Smith, professors in Union Theological Seminary, for their courtesy in making possible for him the use of a very valuable collection of works on Polem ics and Irenics, which was gathered in Germany by the late Dr. Briggs and which is now a part of the library of Union Theological Seminary. He also acknowledges with much appreciation some valuable aid received from the Reference Department of the Lutheran Bureau in New York.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lutheran Church and the Civil War The religious life of peoples and the interplay between religious forces and political and eco nomic forces has too little concerned students of modern history. When church and state were one, when religious differences fostered wars, both national and civil, when the state was free ing itself from the church and the church from the state, religion was politics and the two were often inseparable. But here, in America, where every man may worship God as he wills and the church flourishes independently of the state, we are too apt to overlook the fact that the church exercises an influence on the people, even in matters seemingly political or economic only, more potent by far than is generally appreciated or, ofttimes, even known to any but the most conscious observers. It is with the relation to each other of the Lutheran church and slavery that our author here deals and his study, it is hoped, is the forerunner of many other like con tributions to our national history.

Download or read book A History of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United States Classic Reprint written by Henry Eyster Jacobs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United States Lutheranism is a specific form Of Christian life. The propriety Of the name as a designation Of that form Of life is not for us to determine. Apart from our Willingness or unwillingness to assume it, it has become a fixed term for a definite and well-known Object. As religion is not mere intellectualism, or mere sentiment, or mere activity, so Lutheranism, as a form of the only true religion, Christian ity, is far more than a system of doctrines, or a mode Of worship, or a form of Church organization. The Spirit of a Church is always greater and deeper than its expression; its faith is always greater than its confession. Lutheran ism is a mode Of viewing and receiving and living the truths Of Christianity; or rather of viewing and receiving and living in mystical union with Him who is the begin ning and end Of all these truths. The peculiarities which mark its relation to Christ determine peculiarities With respect to other Objects. The principles underlying the doctrinal position reappear in the spheres Of ethics and liturgics, Of homiletics and Church government. Even the faith Of a great sculptor or a great musical composer will express itself in a different way according to the peculiar ities of the confession by which his religious life has been nourished and trained. Everything that enters into the religious life, or that proceeds from it, is molded and col ored by the specific form which that life assumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Lutheranism, Vol. 1: Early History of American Lutheranism and the Tennessee Synod Word of God. Christian organizations and unions must not be in violation of the Christian unity of the Spirit. Organi zations effected in harmony with the divine object and norm of Christian fellowship are true visible churches, i. E., visible unions as God would have them. They are churches of the pure Word and Sacrament, professing the Gospel and deviating from none of its doctrines. Christians have no right to em brace, teach, and champion error. They are called upon and bound to believe, teach, and confess all, and only, Christian truths. Nor may they lawfully organize on a doctrinally false basis. Organizations persistently deviating from the doctrines of the Bible and establishing a doctrinally false basis, are sects, i. E., false or impure visible Churches. Yet, though error never saves, moreover, when consistently developed, has the tendency of corrupting the whole lump, false Churches may be instru mental in saving souls, inasmuch as they retain essential parts of the Gospel-truths, and inasmuch as God's grace may neu tralize the accompanying deadly error, or stay its leavening power. Indeed, individuals, by the grace of God, though error ists in their heads, may be truthists in their hearts; just as one who is orthodox in his head may, by his own fault, be heterodox in his heart. A Catholic may, by rote, call upon the saints with his lips, and yet, by the grace of God, in his heart, put his trust in Christ. And a Lutheran may confess Christ and the doctrine of grace with his lips, and yet in his heart rely on his own good character. False Churches as such, however, in asmuch as theirs is a banner of rebellion in the kingdom of Christ, do not exist by God's approval, but merely by His sufferance. It is their duty to reform on a basis of doctrinal purity and absolute conformity with the Word of God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christification written by Jordan Cooper and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of theosis has enjoyed a recent resurgence among varied theological traditions across the realms of historical, dogmatic, and exegetical theology. In Christification: A Lutheran Approach to Theosis, Jordan Cooper evaluates this teaching from a Lutheran perspective. He examines the teachings of the church fathers, the New Testament, and the Lutheran Confessional tradition in conversation with recent scholarship on theosis. Cooper proposes that the participationist soteriology of the early fathers expressed in terms of theosis is compatible with Luther's doctrine of forensic justification. The historic Lutheran tradition, Scripture, and the patristic sources do not limit soteriological discussions to legal terminology, but instead offer a multifaceted doctrine of salvation that encapsulates both participatory and forensic motifs. This is compared and contrasted with the development of the doctrine of deification in the Eastern tradition arising from the thought of Pseudo-Dionysius. Cooper argues that the doctrine of the earliest fathers--such as Irenaeus, Athanasius, and Justin--is primarily a Christological and economic reality defined as "Christification." This model of theosis is placed in contradistinction to later Neoplatonic forms of deification.
