Tale Of Two Synods
Why did the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) and the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) split? A defining moment in American Lutheranism occurred in 1961 when the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) and the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) split apart. What went wrong between these two church bodies? This fascinating book is the culmination of Dr. Mark Braun’s exhaustive research on the history and controversy between the WELS and the LCMS before and after they split. With interviews and surveys throughout, this thorough and thoughtful book will give you a clearer understanding of these two church bodies! The Impact series by Northwestern Publishing House features crucial titles on a variety of topics, including denominations, doctrine, and cultural issues. With practical applications for Lutherans and other Christians, these books provide a greater understanding of our present-day church and faith—all while pointing you to the gospel.
The Creationists
Forty-seven percent of the American people, according to a 1991 Gallup poll, believe that God made man--as man is now--in a single act of creation, and within the last ten thousand years. Ronald L. Numbers chronicles the astonishing resurgence of this belief since the 1960s, as well as the creationist movement's tangled roots in the theologies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Adventists, and other religious groups. Even more remarkable than Numbers's story of today's widespread rejection of the theory of evolution is the dramatic shift from acceptance of the earth's antiquity to the insistence of present-day scientific creationists that most fossils date back to Noah's flood and its aftermath, and that the earth itself is not more than ten thousand years old. Numbers traces the evolution of scientific creationism and shows how the creationist movement challenges the very meaning of science.
Forging New Freedoms
In several landmark decisions during the mid-1920s, the U.S. Supreme Court significantly expanded the scope of the Constitution's protection of individual freedom by striking down state laws designed to repress or even destroy privateøand parochial schools. Forging New Freedoms explains the origins of na-tivistic hostility toward German and Japanese Americans, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and other groups whose schools became the object of assaults during and shortly after World War I. The book explores the campaigns to restrict foreign language instruction and to require compulsory public education. It also examines the background of Meyer v. Nebraska and Farrington v. Tokushige, in which t...

Authority Vested
Like other major Protestant denominations in the United States, the 2.6-million-member Luther Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), founded in 1847, has struggled with issues of relevance and identity in society at large. In this book Mary Todd chronicles the history of this struggle for identity in the LCMS, critically examining the central--often contentious--issue of authority in relation to Scripture, ministry, and the role of women in the church. In recounting the history of the denomination, Todd uses the ministry of women as a case study to show how the LCMS has continually redefined its concept of authority in order to maintain its own historic identity. Based on oral histories and solid archival research, Authority Vested not only explores the internal life of a significant denomination but also offers critical insights for other churches seeking to maintain their Christian distinctives in religiously pluralistic America.
The Bible, Rocks and Time
Davis A. Young and Ralph Stearley seek to convince readers of the vast antiquity of the Earth. They point out the flaws of young-Earth creationism and counter the impression by many scientists that all Christians are young-Earth creationists.
Sober, Strict, and Scriptural
Calvinism s influence and reputation have received ample scholarly attention. But how John Calvin himself his person, character, and deeds was remembered, commemorated, and memorialized, is a question few historians have addressed. Focussing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this volume aims to open up the subject with chapters on Calvin s monumentalization in statues and museums, his appearance in novels, children s books, and travel writing, his iconic function for Hungarian nationalists and Presbyterian missionaries to China, his reputation among Mormons and freethinkers, and his rivalry with Michael Servetus in French Protestant memory. The result is a fresh contribution to the field of religious memory studies and an invitation to further comparative research.Contributors include: R. Bryan Bademan, Patrick Cabanel, R. Scott Clark, Thomas J. Davis, Stephen S. Francis, Joe B. Fulton, Botond Gaál, Stefan Laube, Johan de Niet, Herman Paul, James Rigney, Michèle Sacquin, Jonathan Seitz, Robert Vosloo, Bart Wallet, and Valentine Zuber.
The Healer-prophet
This study of William Marrion Branham's ministry reveals much about the healing methodology of deliverance evangelists. Branham's theology of healing highlights the widely accepted role of evangelists as mediators between God and the afflicted. The dynamic growth of Pentecostalism in the twentieth century is a major feature of the modern religious scene. Branham is acknowledged as a leader of the healing revival movement. Although little known outside of the Pentecostal movement, his work had tremendous influence on today's televangelists and the whole of Pentecostalism itself.
Comentario de Martín Lutero sobre epistola a los Gálatas (1535)
La obra m&á s completa de Mart&í n Lutero acerca de la justificaci&ó n por la fe, su Comentario sobre la Ep&í stola de San Pablo a los G&á latas, se ha traducido y editado desde el lat&í n a un estilo vivaz, equivalente a sus conferencias orales. El fundamento b&í blico para la crucial doctrina de la justificaci&ó n, combinado con la pasi&ó n y la fe expresadas en estas conferencias, se pone de relieve y se expone para una nueva audiencia.El comentario es, adem&á s, un documento hist&ó rico, un registro de un profesor en un aula de 1531, de julio a diciembre, que expresa el compromiso del reformador con las buenas nuevas de la muerte de Jes&ú s en lugar del pecador, y desaf&í a al lector/oyente a comparar la teolog&í a de San Pablo con lo que é l o ella escucha en la iglesia de hoy.
