Douglas Mc. L. Judisch Two Significant Archival Collections ............................Lawrence R.

("Since You Asked," by Norma and Burton Everist, Lutheran Standard, September 1998, page 21). A layman or laywoman, in a query addressed to the Lutheran Standard, begins with these reasonable observations: "While teaching Sunday school I was surprised to read that Jonah was thought to be a parable. I see nothing in the text that suggests it couldn't be historical." The concerned correspondent then poses the obvious question: "How is it a parable?" A. A Critical View of Jonah In the response to this query the denial of the historicity of the Book of Jonah is, in itself, scarcely surprising. Both of the Everists, after all, are shown in a photograph above the column wearing clerical collars. The "Rev. Norma Cook Everist" is identified as a professor of church and ministry in Wartburg Seminary in Dubuque (Iowa), while the "Rev. Burton L. Everist is pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in East Dubuque (Illinois).

  • The Theology of Due Process: the Adjudication Cases of Robert Preus in the LCMS and Rolf Preus in the ELS
    1 The Theology of Due Process: The Adjudication Cases of Robert Preus in the LCMS And Rolf Preus in the ELS Sixth Annual ACELC Free Conference Redeemer Lutheran Church Nashville, Tennessee April 26, 2016 By Pastor Rolf Preus In asking me to speak about my father’s trials in the Missouri Synod and my trial in the ELS you are not asking for an objective analysis. How could I be objective? Nothing that happened to my father had more of an impact on me personally than his being fired as president and tenured professor at Concordia Theological Seminary in 1989, suspended from the Missouri Synod for trying to get his position back, and then denied his rightful position after prevailing in the church courts. My removal from the ELS and from River Heights Lutheran Church in East Grand Forks in 2006 was also a very significant event in my life.� I am by no means impartial in regard to these events. Justice must be impartial. This is why it re- quires due process. Due process is a given among Americans. We trace it back to the Magna Carta where the king was placed under the authority of the law. Nobody is above the law. The American Revolution – a righteous cause and a just war – was fought on this principle. History, reason, culture, civil law, and natural law all teach due process. It is enshrined in the American Constitution. Both the fifth and fourteenth amendments guarantee that no one can be deprived of life, liberty, or property except by due process of law.

  • The-Doctrine-Of-Justification-In-The
    The Doctrine of Justification in the Theology of Robert Preus By Rolf Preus April 8, 1999 A Congress on the Lutheran Confessions It is a wonderful privilege for me to speak to you today on the doctrine of justification in the theology of Robert Preus. I was asked to present this paper because I know a bit about Robert Preus’ theology, specifically in regard to the doctrine of justification. Now why should that be? Well, I was his student. And that’s a fact. I remained his student long after his call to teach theology at Concordia Theological Seminary was taken away from him. And, of course, I was his student long before that call was first given to him. Most of what I know about his theology I know from listening to him. He was the best teacher I ever had. I don’t say this only as his son, but as a Lutheran pastor who learned to love Lutheran theology from him. I have never met a man who loved Lutheran theology more than he. I don’t believe he ever tired of talking theology. And I don’t believe there was a Lutheran theologian of his generation and stature who avoided theological fads and hobbyhorses as well as he. Now there is really only one effective way for a Lutheran theologian successfully to avoid the various temptations to major in minors or to substitute for the pastoral care which flows through true Evangelical Lutheran theology an academic exhibitionism designed to elevate the theologian himself rather than the gospel of Christ.

Seminex was formed due to the ongoing Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversary that was dividing Protestant churches in the United States.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In late 1958, a brash young seminarian from the Bronx, New York, named Herman Otten stood before the faculty of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, to answer charges that he had “violated the law of love” as expressed by Jesus in the New Testament. Earlier that year, Otten had leveled accusations of heresy against several seminarians. Later, in a secret meeting with synod president John W. Behnken, Otten charged that mem- bers of the Concordia faculty were teaching heresy, denying the veracity of cherished Bible stories, and questioning scripture’s inerrancy and infallibil- ity. Faculty members, soon confronted by Behnken with otten’s charges, were incensed. They demanded not only that Otten admit that he had sinned in making charges without first confronting the accused—a clear vio- lation of the principle of Matthew 181—but that he retract his accusations. Otten refused. And so the faculty stood in judgment: After years of study and a graduate degree, Herman Otten would not be certified by Concor- dia Seminary for service as a minister in the Lutheran church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).
