119 APPENDIX TO LUTHER'S CHURCH POSTILl The Fifth Sermon on the Epistle for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity 2 Corinthians 3 :4-11 Translated by James L. Langbartels ext, you have heard that we should carefully distinguish the two N preaching offices, that of Moses and that of Christ. Moses came with such a shining face so that everything sparkled in his eyes. It was as if his face had rays;2 that is, it was glowing, so that people could not remain before it; rather, he had to cover3 his face when he wanted to speak with the children of Israe1.4 When he climbed up the mountain to God, he took off the cover; but when he returned to the children of Israel, he again put the veil before his eyes [Ex 34:29-35]. 'Luther himself prepared the Church Postils for Advent through Lent. The press of other duties led Luther to entrust the preparation of the remaining Church Postils to Caspar Cruciger (1504-1548). Cruciger's normal practice was to choose a sermon of Luther on the Historic Epistle or Gospel reading, edit it, and publish this as the Church Postil, which met with Luther's full approval. For the Church Postil on the Epistle read ing for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity on 2 Co 3:4-11, Cruciger chose the sermon series Luther preached in August and September 1535 (Pr 1566-1570). In his editing of these sermons, Cruciger chose to omit most of the last sermon in which Luther dealt especially with the veil of Moses. -
The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: a Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament
The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: A Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament by Geoffrey Boyle A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Geoffrey Boyle 2019 The Real Presence of Christ in Scripture: A Sacramental Approach to the Old Testament Geoffrey Robert Boyle Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael's College 2019 Abstract Of the various sense-making attempts to understand the relation of Christ to the Old Testament over the last century, there is a noticeable absence of any substantial presence. Christ is prophesied, witnessed, predicted, typified, and prefigured; but apart from a few alleged christophanic appearances, he is largely the subject of another, historically subsequent Testament. This thesis surveys the christological approaches to the Old Testament since the early 20th century breach made within historicism, introduces a patristic mindset, proposes an ontological foundation to a sacramental (real-presence) approach, then demonstrates this through a reading of Zechariah 9-14. The goal is to bring together three arenas of study—exegetical, historical, theological—and demonstrate how their united lens clarifies the substantial referent of Scripture, namely Christ. The character of the OT witness is thus presented in christological terms, suggesting a reading that recognizes the divine person within the text itself, at home in the sensus literalis. By way of analogy to the Cyrillian hypostatic union and a Lutheran eucharistic comprehension, the task is to show how one encounters the hypostasis of Christ by means of the text’s literal sense. -

3-Step Plan Article #7 the Full Plan
!1 of !71 File Name: "3-Step Plan Article #7 The Full 3-Step Plan"' PART ONE, 22 pages. PART TWO, 49 pages. AN ANCIENT TRIED AND TESTED THREE-STEP PLAN FOR INCREASING THE SPIRITUAL (INWARD) AND NUMERICAL (OUTWARD) GROWTH OF LUTHERAN CONGREGATIONS BY PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL VERBALLY AND NONVERBALLY 24 HOURS A DAY Most evangelism programs do not work, and as a result many Christians feel guilty for not having personally witnessed to more people. This plan is an ancient plan because it was used by Israel of old and by the Christian Church from the day of its inception, and works because it communicates Law and Gospel nonverbally as well as verbally, and does it 24 hours a day year around. Face to face witness is not required, but the Plan enables even small children to do it easily and naturally. There are two parts to the Plan PART ONE is a description of the Three-Steps of the Plan, written by Philip James Secker. 22 pages. PART TWO is a monograph written by Arthur Carl Piepkorn about the architectural requirements of Lutheran worship, and edited by Philip James Secker. 49 pages.

The Spiritual Sense (Sensus Spiritualis) of Sacred Scripture: Its Essential Insight
The Spiritual Sense (Sensus Spiritualis) of Sacred Scripture: Its Essential Insight Francis Martin Introduction: The Background of the Term Sensus Spiritualis The basic meaning of sensus which often translates the Greek term nous is given variously as: intellectus, action de sentir, the faculty or power of perceiving. The notion of “meaning” is found seventh in a list of seven possibilities in a recent dictionary.1 Thus, in patristic and medieval Latin we find as synonyms of sensus spritualis, expressions such as intellectus/ intelligentia spiritualis: “spiritual understanding.” From an epistemological point of view this is important. For the ancients the accent in the phrase sensus spiritualis is on the act of knowing and therefore on the act of coming into contact with the reality mediated by the text. Thus, even when the nuance of the expression would demand that we translate sensus spiritualis as “spiritual meaning,” we may not forget that the phrase comes with the notion of “understanding” always present. This may seem overly subtle, but it will help us avoid one of the pitfalls of modern literary and biblical criticism which often restricts itself to what George Steiner characterizes as, “words about words.”2 It is important to note, then, that nous pneumatikos, sensus spiritualis, spiritual understanding, refer to a Spirit-conferred faith experience of the reality mediated by the Sacred Text, and a perception of how that reality shares in the mystery of the Whole Christ. The New Testament The foundation for the Christian use of the expression “sensus spiritualis” is, of course the view of the New Testament regarding the work of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. -

It is by the “word of the truth, the gospel” (Ephesians 1:13) that the “eyes of [our] heart [are] enlightened” (v. 18); and, the enlightened know that history was not—is not—left to the caprices of men. Allowing for and accommo dating man’s will and folly, the Almighty led Bible history “unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth” (v. 10). “When the fulness of the time came”—not a minute sooner or later—“God sent forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4:4). -
