    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 Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I
    The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I Edited by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel Valparaiso, Indiana The greatest contribution of the Lutheran Church to the culture of Western civilization lies in the field of music. Our Lutheran University is therefore particularly happy over the fact that, under the guidance of Professor Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, head of its Department of Music, it has been able to make a definite contribution to the advancement of musical taste in the Lutheran Church of America. The essays of this volume, originally presented at the Seminar in Church Music during the summer of 1944, are an encouraging evidence of the growing appreciation of our unique musical heritage. O. P.

  • 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.

  • The Bethlehem Volume 8, Issue 6
    Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church February 2020 The Bethlehem Volume 8, Issue 6 Let each his lesson learn with care, and all the household well shall fare. Star As we continue our walk through the Table of Duties of Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, we stay in the realm of the household to see the duties of Parents and Children. Last month we looked at the unique offices and relationship of husband and wife. One of the purposes of mar- riage is the procreation of life as God wills it. Children are a gift from God and both children and parents are called to live in love for on another. In particular parents are given this instruction: Fathers, do not exasperate your children, instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 The passage cited for parents in the Table of Duties explicitly references fathers. This is not to exclude mothers, but it does highlight the spiritual responsibility of fathers as head of the house- hold. What is that responsibility? We see it as two-fold. First, they are not to exasperate, or pro- voke their children to wrath. What does this mean? It has everything to do with how we use the Law. Parents are not to oppressively use the Law with the result that children become embittered against both their parents and the Law of God. As sinful as children may be, they should never be told that they must earn God or their parent’s love or that they are hated by their parents for their failing.
