En naturlig, men ikke des mindre sor- gelig f¢lge herav var, at skolen gang paa gang kom i financielle vanskeligheter, fordi mange som ikke evnet at se de paagaaende brytningers betydning 0g n¢dvendig- het, brukte dem som en formentlig tilfredsstillende und- skyldning for ikke at stotte seminariet med de nodven— dige pengebidrag. Heri maa man ialfald for en del s¢ke grunden til, at skolen allerede i 1877 var sunket i en gjaeld, der belop sig til $17,000.00. Det maa dog imidlertid ogsaa erin- dres, at seminariet paa disse otte aar siden dets stiftelse hadde faat en eiendom av betydelig vaerdi. Under de ugunstigste omstzendigheter tok man fat paa det tunge arbeide med at avkaste denne gjaeld. Ikke bare var motstanden mot skolen blit stadig sterkere 0g mere maalbevisst paa visse hold indenfor selve Konfc- rensen; men (16 stro’k i de nordvestlige stater, hvor dette kirkesamfund hadde sine fleste 0g mest offervillige me- nigheter 0g skolen sine bedste venner, blev somrene 187 5 —1877 herjet av umaatelige graeshoppesvaerme der Ia aker 0g eng ¢de, som hadde de vaeret svidd av en prairie- brand. Konferensens aarsm¢te i Willmar, Minnesota, 1877, besluttet imidlertid at skolens gjaeld skulde avka- stes; professor Oftedal paatok sig at lede indsamlingen, og f¢r aarets utgang var der samlet $18,000.00, ydet av over 30,000 individer. Naar alle omstaendigheter tages i betragtning, staar denne pengeindsamling vistnok endnn uten noget sidestykke i vor korte kirkehistorie. Men det viste sig snart, at der var fare for, at skolen atter skulde s’ynke i en gjaeld, som vilde true selve dens eksistens. Av den grund begyndte ogsaa de maend som allermest hadde seminariets fortsatte bestaaen 0g trivsel for ¢ie, at arbeide for oprettelsen av et permanent skole- Show less

Betydningen herav er selv- indlysende for alle som med noget alvor har taenkt over vort folks 0g vor kirkes stilling i dette land. * * * Augsburg Seminariums f¢rste laerer 0g bestyrer var professor August Weenaas, der allerede i 1868 var blit kaldt fra Norge til at overta en teologisk laererpost ved den norske avdeling av Den skandinaviske Augustana- synodes presteskole i Paxton, Illinois. Oprettelsen av Augsburg Seminarium var nemlig resultatet av en beslut- ning, fattet i 1869, om at skille denne avdeling ved skolen i Paxton fra den svenske. Seminariet begyndte som ovenfor naevnt, sin virksomhet samme aar i en liten lands— by i Wisconsin, ved navn Marshall. Derfra flyttedes skolen saa i 1872 til Minneapolis, hvor pastor Ole Paulson med stor energi arbeidet med at faa opf¢rt en efter om- staendigheterne tidsmaessig bygning for den. Baade i denne f¢rste tid av Augsburg Seminariums historie, og siden saalaenge han levet, indla pastor Paulson sig store fortjenester ved sit ihaerdige arbeide for skolen. I 1873 blev rand. theol. Sven Oftedal kaldt til profes~ sor i teologi, 0g allerede aaret efter utstedtes kald til dc to teologiske kandidater S. R. Gunnersen 0g Georg Sver— drup. Skolen hadde altsaa nu fire teologiske professorer. Da professor Weenaas i 1876 nedla sit embede, blev pastor B. Gjeldaker valgt i hans sted, men forblev kun et aars tid ved skolen. Professor Gunnersen nedla sit embede i 1883, 0g fra dette aar til 1890 hadde seminariet kun to teologiske professorer, Sverdrup 0g Oftedal. Show less

But He also reveals Himself as the Son of God and the Savior of mankind, and only when viewing the Master as such are we enabled to understand both His words 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 St. Mark. It is studied synoptically; i. e., the history as 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 St. Paul are studied historically. This means neither mere exegesis nor mere introduction. They are studied as historical documents of the greatest value to those who wish to become acquainted with the Apostolic Age and to judge it rightly, especially in re— gard to its conception and teaching of the Gospel of Christ. Both the Gospels and the Epistles are pre-emin— ently historical, and not dogmatic, documents and should be studied as such. But the Gospel record relates not only to Our Lord; as “good tidings” it stands in a most intimate relation to all mankind. It not only tells about the Messenger; it is in itself a message to a fallen race. This viewpoint is given special attention in the study of the Gospel accord- ing to St. Luke, which forms the most important part of the second course of New Testament Theology. Under the same viewpoint some of the Epistles of St. Paul are also studied as a part of this course. There is yet another eternal truth of the highest im- portance revealed in the Gospel record and other New Show less

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. Homilctics. 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 characteristic 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 \Vord of God. Secondly the course involves a systematic study of the essentials of preaching as testifying of Christ, properly designated as Homiletics. It is constantly borne in mind that the power of preach- ing does not lie in human art but in divine authority of ‘ The work in this branch has been divided among the members of the Theological Faculty.
