“This
Magazine is designed to supply the want, long since felt, of a Lutheran
periodical devoted to theological discussion. Its aim will be the
exposition and defense of the doctrines of the Church as confessed in
the Book of Concord. Theology in all its departments is embraced within
its scope, though for the present special attention will be given to the
controverted subject of predestination.”

Matthias Loy served as President of the Joint Synod of Ohio, the Columbus Seminary and Capital University, and edited the Lutheran Standard and the Columbus Theological Magazine.
In 1881 he withdrew the Joint Synod from the Synodical Conference as a
result of Walther’s teaching about predestination. In his autobiography
Dr. Loy writes, “The history of the Church confirms and illustrates the
teachings of the Bible, that yielding little by little leads to yielding
more and more, until all is in danger; and the tempter is never
satisfied until all is lost.”

“…there
are many people today who are wandering in doctrinal fogland, and do
not know what they believe; or, if they think they have any real
convictions, they have pared them down to what they call ‘the
irreducible minimum.’ Many people of the so-called ‘modern mind’ have
very small and short creeds. They are determined to accept as little on
faith as is possible, and yet continue to have any faith at all.

“Lutheranism
clings to God’s Written Word. Her motto is the Word of God, the whole
Word of God, and nothing but the Word of God, not as a prescriptive
letter, but as the power of God unto salvation.” – Theodore Schmauk
“[Dr Schmauk] ranks as one of the ablest and most consistent defenders
of the Lutheran faith. His catholicity of spirit enabled him to put
himself in the place of his opponent and see things from the latter’s
point of view… And yet he never swerved from the ...
“Suffice
it to say that faith is faith, and not obedience, or love or delight in
God, or any other distinct grace or virtue. Nor does the Bible say
being justified by obedience, or love, or delight, or good works, but

Only those who will not acknowledge their sin and feel no need of a
Savior — only these are rejected. And these are not rejected because the
Lord has no pity on them and no desire to deliver them from their
wretchedness, but only because they will not come to Him that they might
have life. They reject Him, and therefore stand rejected. But those who
come to Him, poor and needy and helpless, but trusting in His ...
