  • The Quest for an American Lutheran Theology: Augustana and Lutheran Quarterly by Maria E
    The Quest for an American Lutheran Theology: Augustana and Lutheran Quarterly by Maria E. Erling he Augustana Synod’s 1948 centennial commemorated the Tfounding of its fi rst congregation.1 The seminary’s theological journal, The Augustana Quarterly, marked the anniversary by introducing readers to their Swedish heritage. Historical essays by Hilding Pleijel and others on nineteenth-century church life in Sweden explained how Swedish rural piety shaped personal and social life. Gustaf Aulen and Anders Nygren brought Swedish theology, with its fresh approach to the post-war crisis, to Augustana’s fully Americanized readership. The Augustana Quarterly renewed the relationship between Sweden and America at a crucial time. Lutheran leaders, especially in Scandinavia, were emerging from the crisis of the war with a profound sense that the future of Lutheranism itself depended on a fresh articulation of its Reformation theological heritage. They wanted and needed an American audience, while Lutherans in the United States also sought to participate in this work of theological renewal. American Lutheran relief eff orts had convinced Europeans of the American reputation for activism, but Germans and Scandinavians were suspicious of activism in theology, even though quietism was now demonstrably far worse. A new articulation of Lutheran theology was a part of the reconstruction eff ort needed to restore the spiritual legacy of the churches in the wake of the seeming capitulation of German Lutheranism to the totalitarian Nazi state. The Augustana Quarterly and The Lutheran Church Quarterly (a jointly produced journal from Gettysburg and Philadelphia) both worked to reorient Lutheran theology to address the needs of the hour.

  • Michael Praetorius's Theology of Music in Syntagma Musicum I (1615): a Politically and Confessionally Motivated Defense of Instruments in the Lutheran Liturgy
    MICHAEL PRAETORIUS'S THEOLOGY OF MUSIC IN SYNTAGMA MUSICUM I (1615): A POLITICALLY AND CONFESSIONALLY MOTIVATED DEFENSE OF INSTRUMENTS IN THE LUTHERAN LITURGY Zachary Alley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2014 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig ii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor The use of instruments in the liturgy was a controversial issue in the early church and remained at the center of debate during the Reformation. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), a Lutheran composer under the employment of Duke Heinrich Julius of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, made the most significant contribution to this perpetual debate in publishing Syntagma musicum I—more substantial than any Protestant theologian including Martin Luther. Praetorius's theological discussion is based on scripture, the discourse of early church fathers, and Lutheran theology in defending the liturgy, especially the use of instruments in Syntagma musicum I. In light of the political and religious instability throughout Europe it is clear that Syntagma musicum I was also a response—or even a potential solution—to political circumstances, both locally and in the Holy Roman Empire. In the context of the strengthening counter-reformed Catholic Church in the late sixteenth century, Lutheran territories sought support from Reformed church territories (i.e., Calvinists). This led some Lutheran princes to gradually grow more sympathetic to Calvinism or, in some cases, officially shift confessional systems. In Syntagma musicum I Praetorius called on Lutheran leaders—prince-bishops named in the dedication by territory— specifically several North German territories including Brandenburg and the home of his employer in Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, to maintain Luther's reforms and defend the church they were entrusted to protect, reminding them that their salvation was at stake.

  • LUTHER Historical Significance Can Hardly Be Overstated
    FOREWORD BY ROBERT KOLB LUTHER historical significance can hardly be overstated. CARL R. TRUEMAN MartinKnown as the Luther’s father of the Protestant Reformation, Luther has had an enormous impact on Western Christianity and culture. In Luther on the Christian Life, AFTERWORD BY MARTIN E. MARTY historian Carl Trueman introduces readers to the lively Reformer, taking them on a tour of his historical context, theological system, and approach to the Christian life. on the Christian Life Whether exploring Luther’s theology of protest, ever-present sense of humor, or misunderstood view of sanctification, this book will help modern readers go deeper in their spiritual walk by learning from one of the great teachers of the faith. “This book illustrates again why Martin Luther remains a nearly inexhaustible resource. Trueman explains why Luther can be such a perceptive, encouraging, human, and even humorous guide to the Christian life.” MARK A. NOLL, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame “Carl Trueman has pulled off a tremendous feat: he’s not only given us a volume that is scholarly and historically nuanced while still accessible and refreshingly contemporary; he’s also managed to capture the brilliance and boldness of Martin Luther in a relatively short space.” KEVIN DEYOUNG, Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan “If you think you know Luther, read this book. It is a remarkably edifying and illuminating piece of work. Displaying the interests of a pastor and the rigor of a historian, Trueman provides us with an analysis of Luther on the Christian life that is as ‘human’ as the German Reformer himself.” MICHAEL HORTON, J.

  • THE FIVE FAITH COMMITMENTS Augustana College
    THE FIVE FAITH COMMITMENTS of Augustana College 1 INTRODUCTION: THE COLLEGE’S ROOTS FOR TODAY’S STUDENTS An Introduction by Steven C. Bahls, President of the College The Five Faith Commitments of Augustana College were unanimously adopted by the Augustana College Board of Trustees in May of 2004. They represent Augustana College’s commitment to honor its roots as the college of the Augustana Lutheran Church, but in a way that meets today’s students where they are. This means that the Five Faith Commitments are more than a sentimental retrospective on the college’s relationship with the church. Instead, it is a document reflecting five fundamental values of the Augustana Lutheran Church and broader Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, as applied in the 21st century, which will guide us into our future. During the process of developing the Five Faith Commitments, Augustana was confronted with the issue of what it means to be a church-related college. Roald Tweet, Professor Emeritus of English, has written and spoken about how Augustana “lives with a hyphen.” He writes: “Church-related” is even more ambiguous than “Swedish-American.” Does the phrase imply that Augustana is trying to distance itself from close ties to the church, or does it imply that the College is trying to hold on to that relationship? Grammar texts are no help. One says the hyphen implies separation, another that it unites.1 Part of “living with a hyphen” is to understand that the relationship is respectful of our history and is at the same time dynamic. Though Augustana, like other church-related schools, will continue to wrestle with the hyphen in the years ahead, the adoption of the Five Faith Commitments strengthens the tie between the church and the college in a way that will enable the college to achieve its mission: helping students grow in spirit as well as mind and body.

  • The Church As Koinonia of Salvation: Its Structures and Ministries
    THE CHURCH AS KOINONIA OF SALVATION: ITS STRUCTURES AND MINISTRIES Common Statement of the Tenth Round of the U.S. Lutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogue THE CHURCH AS KOINONIA OF SALVATION: ITS STRUCTURES AND MINISTRIES Page ii Preface It is a joy to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification (JDDJ), signed by representatives of the Catholic Church and the churches of the Lutheran World Federation in 1999. Pope John Paul II and the leaders of the Lutheran World Federation recognize this agreement as a milestone and model on the road toward visible unity among Christians. It is therefore with great joy that we present to the leadership and members of our churches this text, the tenth produced by our United States dialogue, as a further contribution to this careful and gradual process of reconciliation. We hope that it will serve to enhance our communion and deepen our mutual understanding. Catholics and Lutherans are able to “confess: By grace alone, in faith in Christ’s saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping and calling us to good works” (JDDJ §15). We also recognize together that: “Our consensus in basic truths of the doctrine of justification must come to influence the life and teachings of our churches. Here it must prove itself. In this respect, there are still questions of varying importance which need further clarification” (JDDJ §43). In this spirit we offer the following modest clarifications and proposals.

  • SAHQ April 10
    Interpreting One Hundred Years of Augustana History: Fritiof Ander, Conrad Bergendoff, and the 1960 Centennial THOMAS TREDWAY AND DAG BLANCK s the year 1960 approached, two Swedish-American Augustanas—the Synod and the College—prepared to cel- Aebrate their mutual centennial. For the Augustana Synod that anniversary anticipated by two years the end of its life as an independent Church: the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church (commonly known to its members simply as “the Synod”) was to join three other American Lutheran Churches in 1962 to form the Lutheran Church in America. At Augustana College preparations for the Cen- tennial Year included, as one would expect from a place of higher learning, a scholarly look back at the century during which the American landscape, ecclesiastical and academic, had been graced by the two Swedish-American institutions, Church and school. Two Augustana historians, one the president of the college, the other an THOMAS TREDWAY was president (1975-2003) and professor of history (1964- 2003) at Augustana College. He is the recent author of Coming of Age (2010), a history of the college during the years 1935-75, when Conrad Bergendoff and C. W. Sorensen served as its presidents. A graduate of North Park and Augustana Colleges and Illinois and Northwestern Universities, Tredway is currently working on the rela- tionship between ethnic and religious factors among Scandinavian immigrants and their descendants in the United States. DAG BLANCK is the director of the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, and an associate professor of history at Uppsala University, Sweden.
