Have you ever pondered the enduring legacy of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and its century-long journey through peace, growth, and controversy? Reverend Dr. Gerhard Bode joins us to unravel this narrative, revealing the pivotal moments that have shaped the LCMS, especially during the transformative post-WWII era. Dr. Bode's deep well of knowledge brings to life the Synod's pursuit of higher education standards and its commitment to mission work, while also examining the scars left by the Semenex controversy, a true testament to the church's complex history.Our conversation with Dr. Bode ventures into the theological battlegrounds that have tested American Lutheranism, where modern scriptural interpretations have sparked fiery doctrinal debates. We step into the fray of gospel reductionism and higher criticism, pondering the balance between historical veracity and the potency of the unchanged Word. As we navigate these topics, Dr. Bode reminds us how these discussions have shaped ecumenical relationships and challenged the Lutheran Confessions to address contemporary issues without sacrificing the essence of the faith.In a heartfelt discussion about the essence of the LCMS, we reflect on the necessity of doctrinal unity without compromising the missionary zeal that propels the church forward. Dr. Bode underscores the importance of maintaining harmony within the Synod while fostering a passionate outreach, and invites listeners to experience the fervor of Call Day at Concordia Seminary. Join us for an enlightening journey through the past, present, and future of the LCMS, where faithfulness to doctrine and an eagerness for missionary work promise to define the church's trajectory.JOIN OUR NEW ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM!ENTER CODE - 75ULC2023 for 75% off!

"With any kind of history, there's a lot of empathy that has to be involved. You have to try to understand that there are objective issues but there's also the subjective: why people get caught up in this sort of thing, and any good history tries to deal with both." This was a statement from our guest Erik Herrmann on this episode about the controversy that shook Concordia Seminary in St. Louis several decades ago that culminated in a walk-out of faculty and students. This is still a sensitive topic for faithful Lutheran Christians in the United States from different Lutheran denominations, and we pray for the day that Christ's Church may be united in confession, truth, and love. While we could not nearly get to every aspect of the Seminex story in this one episode, we do point you to the following resources (several which we discuss in the episode): The video recordings of the entire course that Dr. Herrmann taught (along with his colleague Dr. Gerhard Bode) on Seminex "Controversy in the LCMS" can be accessed here: https://scholar.csl.edu/controversylcms/ The article that Andrew referenced by Robert Benne near the beginning of the episode: https://www.firstthings.com/article/2011/05/the-trials-of-american-lutheranism Frederick Danker's book No Room in the Brotherhood *This book is from the perspective of a student involved in the walkout who later went on to be a New Testament scholar and professor in the ELCA.

Anna Hoppe was born on May 7, 1889 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She left school after the eighth grade and worked as a stenographer. She began writing patriotic verses when she was very young and by the age of 25 she was writing spiritual poetry. After some of her poems appeared in the Northwestern Lutheran, a periodical of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, they came to the attention of Dr. Adolf Hult of Augustana Seminary, Rock Island, Illinois. He influenced her to write her Songs for the Church Year (1928). Several hymnals include her work, which was usually set to traditional chorale melodies, although she also made a number of translations. She died on August 2, 1941 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.https://hymnary.org/person/Hoppe_ABhttps://www.fortresspress.com/store/product/9781942304333/Anna-B-Hoppehttps://www.amazon.com/Hoppe-Shaping-American-Lutheran-Church/dp/1942304331Today's guest is Elisabeth Urtel.
