Celsor, B.B.A, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2010 In 1998, the theologian Gerhard Ebeling helped to initiate a rancorous, public debate among theologians in Germany over whether the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification presents “a consensus in the basic truths of the doctrine of justification” by co- editing the famous letter of protest. Why would he want to do this? The fact that some argue he held a distinguished position in ecumenical circles during the 1950s and 1960s makes this question somewhat intriguing.

  • The Lutheran Understanding of Chosen
    THE LUTHERAN UNDERSTANDING OF CHOSEN: THE ELECTION CONTROVERSY IN MIDWESTERN LUTHERANISM AND ITS LASTING RAMIFICATIONS by Rev. Jeffrey A. Iverson A Research Paper Presented to the 2013 Conference of the Lutheran Ministerium and Synod – USA Chetek, Wisconsin ©2013, Jeffrey A. Iverson All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION The Election Controversy touched all of the Lutheran church bodies in the United States, but was felt most strongly among those in the Midwest. It generally pitted the recent Midwest immigrants of a more doctrinally orthodox Lutheran persuasion against those who were either less orthodox, or whose orthodoxy was more of a pietistic bent. It generally set synod against synod, but one group, the Norwegian Synod, was split asunder. When Norwegian immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century began to form Lutheran churches in America, two distinct approaches to church life emerged. Some followed the more pietistic tradition of the Norwegian lay-evangelist Hans Nielsen Hauge and eventually formed Hauge’s Synod. Another group patterned itself after the state-church of Norway and formed the Norwegian Synod. The Norwegian Synod found natural allies in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, led by the great theologian C.F.W. Walther. The Missouri Synod, the Norwegian Synod, the Ohio Synod, the Illinois Synod, the Minnesota Synod, and the Wisconsin Synod formed a church fellowship called the Synodical Conference in 1872. The Ohio Synod left the Synodical Conference over the Election Controversy, as did the Norwegian Synod. A group calling itself the “Anti-Missouri Brotherhood” split from the Nor- wegian Synod in 1887. Pulling together some smaller groups, the Anti-Missouri Brotherhood formed the United Church in 1890, mixing elements of both orthodox and pietistic groups.
