The aim is to give them a thoro knowledge of the Bible, the history of the Christian Church, the teachings and principles of the Lutheran Church, and a practical training in dealing with the principal questions that arise in pastoral life and in the pastoral leadership of the congregation. As far as possible. the Bible is studied in its original tongues. It is clearly realized, however, that mere knowledge is not a complete equipment of a worker in the vineyard of Our Lord. The all-important consideration is to awaken and foster in the student true loyalty to Christ and absolute obedience to the Holy Spirit, for without these qualities no man can become “a good and faithful servant” in God’s house. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Old Testament Introduction and Exegesis. The Old Testament record of God’s dealings with His chosen people. as well as with the nations in general, stands for all time as tho written in stone, showing clearly God’s infinite love and man’s perverted ways on account of sin. Thru all the centuries we see His never ceasing compassion, and in all His dealings we behold the great aim. the salvation of mankind. The Bible. with its Old and New Testaments, is not merely a book consisting of “two volumes bound in one.” There is a great truth contained in the old saying that “the New Testament lies hidden in the Old and the Old is revealed in the New.” In order to give the students Show less

This does not apply to the theses of the Senior Class in the College. 2. The alphabetical scale is used in reporting the final standing; each letter constitutes a grade and has the following significance: A A_ g Excellent. 3— Good. g_ Fair. D Barely passable. E Conditioned. F Failure. 3. All conditions received in class, as well as en— trance conditions, must be removed within the next quarter. 4.

Systematic Theology. Systematic Theology is the systematic exposition of the teaching of the Bible concerning God and man and their relation to each other. It naturally divides itself into three main branches; namely, Theology, or the Christian doctrine concerning God. Anthropology, or the Christian doctrine concerning man, and Soteriology, or the Christian doctrine concerning the restoration and maintenance of the true communion between God and man. To this part of a Theological Course also belongs the study of Ethics. Practical Theology.* I. H omiletics. This course includes first a survey of the History of Preaching, showing the character of the first Christian witness-bearing and the development of the characteris- tic principles of this preaching as an art; its alliance with pagan rhetoric and oratory; the consequences of this alli- ance upon the form and material of preaching and the efforts made to find a form of its own in more complete harmony with the Word of God.

Show moreEmmi-ital AUGSBURG SEMINARY, the divinity school of the Lutheran Free Church, founded in 1869, celebrated last year its semi-centennial anniversary. It is the oldest Norwegian Lutheran school of its kind in America. From its foundation until 1890 it was the Theological Seminary of the Norwegian-Danish Conference, and from 1890 until 1893 it served as the divinity school of the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America. Since the latter date it has been connected with the Lutheran Free Church movement. For several years prior to 1869 the Scandinavian Augustana Synod had maintained a Theological Sem- inary at Paxton, Illinois. This institution served both the Swedish and the Norwegian churches of that Synod as a union seminary. The founding of Augsburg Sem- inary was the result of a mutual agreement to divide the Paxton school and to establish a separate institution to serve the Norwegian congregations, as_ it was quite evident that the interests of the Norwegian branch of the Augustana Synod would in that way be served to greater advantage. Augsburg Seminary commenced its work in Septem- ber 1869 at Marshall, a small village in Dane County, Wisconsin, and was at first more or less loosely con— nected with "Marshall Academy”. In the fall of 1870 it was separated from that institution, and during the summer of 1872 it was moved to Minneapolis. A pre- paratory curriculum has been maintained from the be- ginning, consisting at first of a one-year course,’ but Show less

Each class in the Academy and in the College is given religious instruction two hours a week, and besides this a voluntary class for the study of mis- sions has been maintained for several years, led by one of the Faculty members. Every morning, except Sun- day, all students are required to attend chapel exercises, which are led by one of the professors. Frequently visiting pastors and others are invited to speak to the students in chapel. Prayer-meetings are held several evenings a week, either by the student body or by smaller groups of students. No Sunday services are held at the Seminary, as the students attend the services in the different churches of the Lutheran Free Church in Minneapolis, where a large number of them also take active part in Sunday school work, young people’s work, and church choirs. The Augsburg Theological Seminary offers to its students a three-year course of study. The aim is to give them a thoro knowledge of the Bible, the history of the Christian Church, and the teachings of the Luth- eran Church, and also a practical training in dealing with the principal questions that arise in pastoral life and in the pastoral leadership of the congregation.
