By the time it was making waves around St. Louis last spring, it occurred to the Concordia Concordia Journal/Spring 2009 109 Insides MLP:Layout 1 4/23/2009 8:39 AM Page 110 Seminary faculty that Lutherans ought to be in on this conversation. Since, as has been said around campus, Paul is “our guy.” That set into motion a number of actions and events, among them: several conversations with Roman Catholic counterparts at Kenrick Seminary and St. Louis University’s Aquinas Institute, a number of lectures and presentations on campus, and this very issue of Concordia Journal. Perhaps the epicenter of all this activity was the 2008 Day of Exegetical Reflection (in September immediately preceding the Theological Symposium) which centered on Paul and Pauline theology in the after- math of the “New Perspective” on Paul. But more recently, Efraín Agosto deliv- ered the Center for Hispanic Studies’ fourth Annual Lecture in Hispanic/Latino Theology and Missions on “Leadership in Paul.” That March 31st lecture is already available at the Seminary’s iTunes U site (itunes.csl.edu). Yet to come still is the 2009 Day of Homiletical Reflection on “Preaching Paul”, featuring Walter Wangerin. And our recent conversations with the artist Dr. He Qi resulted in his striking artwork “Calling Saint Paul” gracing the cover of this Pauline theme issue. Once again, you can see the whole work in full color at ConcordiaTheology.org. (The Seminary’s relationship with He Qi continues to blossom with resources online, in print, and, God-willing, on campus. Be sure to check out the forthcoming Concordia Journal Currents interview with the artist. Stay tuned for more.) This issue of Concordia Journal celebrates all these events, and more important- ly the Apostle Paul’s abiding relevance to theology, ministry, and mission in the global church today. Two of the articles arise from presentations given at the Day of Exegetical Reflection. James Ware’s article is an urgent call to recover a genuinely Pauline hope, and it is as provocative as it is insightful. Tom Schreiner, no stranger to LCMS theological circles, delivered the Day’s featured lecture, and his title says it all: “An Old Perspective on the New Perspective.” The other article started as a book review. As it turns out, it appears the last remaining manuscript on the desk of renowned biblical scholar Brevard Childs (1923–2007) was a canonical study of Paul’s letters, recently published by Eerdmans. Jeff Kloha undertook a review of that book, but what came out of that work is a sharp analysis not only of Childs’ book, not only of the legacy of the canonical method that he more or less invent- ed, but also of the future of Pauline study in our theological tradition. But this issue isn’t just about Paul. President Dale Meyer offers here to the church a sobering, detailed, yet ultimately confident financial “state of the Seminary” in light of the current recession. Luther Seminary church historian Mary Jane Haemig gives a featured review of a recent work by two of the Seminary’s own, Robert Kolb and Charles Arand’s The Genius of Luther’s Theology. And as prom- ised, Concordia Journal memorializes the passing of Richard John Neuhaus with the thoughts of the LCMS District President who knew him best, David Benke. Finally, we mark the passing of another public leader and theologian in American 110 Insides MLP:Layout 1 4/23/2009 1:57 PM Page 111 Catholicism, Cardinal Avery Dulles, through the eyes of one who sat in his class- room, LCMS pastor (and systematic theologian) Jukka Kääriäinen. This leaves one to wonder: with the passing of these two, who is left to fill the void of public reli- gious leadership in America, either Catholic or Protestant? You could very well see a Concordia Journal Currents podcast on that very topic in the near future. Perhaps you’ve already heard, but it’s also worth noting something new the Seminary faculty has initiated, the Alumni Read . It is one more way the faculty is connecting with the pastors and theologically-inclined lay people of the church. As such, all are invited (not just Concordia St. Louis alums) to read along with the Seminary community John Polkinghorne’s Science and Theology: An Introduction. Polkinghorne is both a world-class physicist and an Anglican priest, so his feet are wet in both pools. He also won the Templeton Prize in 2002, so he can speak to both with depth and dexterity. Polkinghorne’s book is a fine introduction to a dia- logue that will only become more important in the days and years ahead. And his book is also a welcome introduction to the Seminary’s fall 2009 Theological Symposium—“Science and Theology: New Questions, New Conversations”— where that dialogue and its implications for church, ethics, and ministry will be explored. By then, the “Year of Paul” will be long gone. By then, who knows what new ventures and untrodden paths will lie before us? Travis J. Scholl Managing Editor of Theological Publications Concordia Journal/Spring 2009 111 Insides MLP:Layout 1 4/21/2009 8:31 AM Page 112 Stress Test The United States Department of the Treasury has done stress tests on large banks to see if they can survive worst-case scenarios. The recession has turned into a stress test for the funding patterns of seminaries in The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod and the verdict is in: Fail.

  • Rift on Immigration Widens for Conservatives and Cardinals
    March 19, 2006 The Nation Rift on Immigration Widens for Conservatives and Cardinals By RACHEL L. SWARNS The New York Times WASHINGTON THE fierce battle over the future of America's immigration system is spilling from Capitol Hill onto the airwaves, as conservatives accuse Democrats, human rights groups and even some labor unions of trying to stymie Republican efforts to stem the tide of illegal immigration. But in recent weeks, some commentators and prominent Republicans have turned their swords against another formidable foe in their battle to tighten the borders: the Roman Catholic Church. Immigration has long caused friction between the church, with its advocacy for migrants, and conservatives, who want to slow illegal crossings over the Mexican border. But as Congress wrestles with the fate of the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants, that tension has escalated into a sharp war of words, highlighting the divide among some Republicans and Catholics who have fought side by side on other issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. In December, after the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a tough border security bill that, among other things, would make it a crime to assist illegal immigrants, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops assailed it as extremely punitive and called on its flock to oppose it. Church officials have sent lobbyists to Congress and this month parishes sent members to rallies in Chicago and Washington to push for legislation that would legalize undocumented immigrants and put them on the path to citizenship. Some Republicans are firing back. In February, Representative Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican who opposes illegal immigration, took issue with Catholic bishops, among other religious leaders, "for invoking God when arguing for a blanket amnesty" for illegal immigrants.

  • The Catholic Bishops and the Rise of Evangelical Catholics
    religions Article The Catholic Bishops and the Rise of Evangelical Catholics Patricia Miller Received: 27 October 2015; Accepted: 22 December 2015; Published: 6 January 2016 Academic Editor: Timothy A. Byrnes Senior Correspondent, Religion Dispatches; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-703-519-8379 Abstract: White Catholics are increasingly trending toward the Republican Party, both as voters and candidates. Many of these Republican-leaning Catholics are displaying a more outspoken, culture-war oriented form of Catholicism that has been dubbed Evangelical Catholicism. Through their forceful disciplining of pro-choice Catholics and treatment of abortion in their quadrennial voting guides, as well as their emphasis on “religious liberty”, the U.S. bishops have played a major role in the rise of these Evangelical Catholics. Keywords: U.S. Catholic bishops; abortion; Republican; Democratic; voting 1. Introduction While the Catholic Church is associated with opposition to legalized abortion, a review of the historical record shows that the anti-abortion movement was largely fomented by the Catholic hierarchy and fueled by grassroots Evangelical opposition to abortion [1]. Lay Catholics have largely tracked general public opinion on abortion, with just over half of white Catholics saying it should be legal; polls have consistently found that only about 13% of Catholics support the position of the Catholic Church that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances [2,3]. As a result, Catholic voters have been comfortable supporting candidates who favor abortion rights, adding to their reputation as swing voters who have backed both successful Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. However, a substantial subset of white Catholic voters now appears more firmly committed to the Republican Party.

  • CATHOLIC BISHOPS, PUBLIC POLICY and the 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION by Gretchen M
    CATHOLIC BISHOPS, PUBLIC POLICY AND THE 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION By Gretchen M. MacMillan Copyright Gretchen M. MacMillan Preliminary draft; not for citation without permission Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, June 2005 1 CATHOLIC BISHOPS, PUBLIC POLICY AND PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS IN THE UNITED STATES In the recent presidential election in the United States the role played by traditional Christian values gained a great deal of attention. This was primarily because of the link between the fundamentalist Christian right and the Republican Party. Another significant connection between Christian values and the election was the role played by the Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church. The major source of contention arose over the official Church position on abortion, same-sex marriage and stem-cell research and the position adopted by the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry a Catholic whose position on these issues was at variance with those of his Church. The possible role they played in his defeat has major implications not only for Catholics in public life but also for the future of the Democratic Party. At the same time the relationship of Catholic social teachings and the role of the Bishops both in the formulation of public social policy and as moral leaders of the Catholic community are of importance for a group that makes up about one quarter of the American electorate. It is the purpose of this paper to examine some of these implications for the future role played by Catholics and the Catholic Church in American public policy.

    Lutheran News, Inc. _ 684 Luther Lane, New Haven, Missouri 63068 Telephone: (573) 237-3110 March 24, 2016 Dear Member of Trinity, Enclosed is the March 21, 2016 Christian News, the 2,500th issue of this weekly publication begun in 1962. Kurt Marquart is the author of the Statement of Policy on page 4 of every issue. Trinity has at times been mentioned in Christian News. It began in the basements of Trinity’s parsonage and church. Had it not been for the volunteer work of many informed members of Trinity, it may not have survived (see pages 1,2,6,7,). The publication had its beginning when Marquart and Herman Otten, the future Christian News editor, were roommates at the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod’s Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, during the 1950s. This history is told in the 10 volume Marquart’s Works completed last year by Christian News. During their student years, Marquart and Otten opposed some liberal faculty members, who denied the inerrancy of the Bible, the historicity of Genesis and Jonah, the immortality of the soul, the vicarious satisfaction of Christ, direct messianic prophecy, and other scriptural doctrines. The liberal professors promoted such destructive notions of higher criticism as the J-E-D-P source hypothesis, Deutero Isaiah, etc. Since the liberals still claimed to be faithful to the Lutheran confessions, Marquart and Otten recognized the need for a 20th Century Formula of Concord, which reaffirms the ancient creeds of Christendom and the Book of Concord of 1580 but also speaks to the issues of the day: evolution, higher criticism, abortion, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, etc.
