It was necessary to reach the desired end thru personal experience, and the history of Augs- burg Seminary is, therefore, the story of the trials and struggles and the final success of its founders in their efiorts to establish a school that should meet the urgent need of faithful and earnest pastors in a free Lutheran Church. While the curriculum of the school has been broadened and perfected in the course of time, still there has been no disposition to deviate from its original pur- pose. Altho Augsburg Seminary is primarily a divinity school, established and maintained for the education of Christian ministers, teachers, and missionaries, its leaders have not been unaware of the circumstance that not all the students in the institution intend to become such. For this reason the courses in the College and Academy Divi- sions have been arranged so as to meet the needs also of those young men who seek a thoro education preparatory to other lines of professional work. Augsburg Seminary endeavors to awaken and nourish the spiritual life in all its students. For this reason it not only makes attendance in classes of religious instruc- tion obligatory, but it also seeks to surround the young people entrusted to its care with a truly Christian atmos- phere. Each class in the College and in the Academy is given religious instruction two hours a week, and besides this a voluntary class for the study of missions has been maintained for several years, led by one of the Faculty members. Every morning, except Sunday, 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. The Show less

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.

Show moreHISTORICAL STATEMENT AUGSBURG SEMINARY, the divinity school of the Lutheran Free Church. was founded in 1869. 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 Con- ference, and from 1890 until 1893 it served as the di- vinity 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 evi~ dent 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 connected 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 preparatory curriculum has been maintained from the beginning, consisting at first of a one-year course, but later developed and enlarged into complete Academic and College Divisions. The beginning was insignificant; the congregations supporting the school were neither large nor numerous. Show less

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 student a clear understanding of the Bible as a whole, it is con- sidered of the greatest importance to point out this inti- mate relation and its bearing on the two covenants. NEW TESTAMENT INTRODUCTION AND EXEGESIS In this part of Bible study the first aim is to give the student a clear and concise view of the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This must necessarily form the foundation of the whole study of Christianity and the Christian Church. The study of the Master’s life is therefore of the greatest importance, since it is the full revelation of God’s grace, so often pointed to by the prophets of the Old Testament. In the Gospel record He reveals Him- self as “the prophet mighty in word and deed before God and all the people.” But He also reveals Himself as the Son of God and the Savior of mankind, and only when thus viewing the Master are we enabled to understand both Hiswords and His deeds. As the best means of studying the life of Our Lord, and especially His training of true workers for the King- dom, we regard the Gospel according to Mark. It is studied synoptically; i. e., the history recorded by the three other Evangelists is constantly referred to and taken into consideration. In connection with the history of Christ’s life on earth the Epistles of Paul are studied historically. This means Show less
