6 Finally, Paul Landgraf reviews David Scaer’s recent book, Discourses in Matthew: Jesus Teaches the Church, and finds this discussion of Matthew’s Gospel, which connects the teachings of Jesus to His life, to be an excellent contribution to Matthean scholarship. We trust that this issue will provide abundant food for thought as we come to grips with the challenges of being a confessional and confessing church in our time. EGK Wednesday of the Tenth Week after Pentecost 2005.
LTR XV (Academic Year 2002-03): 7-17 SHORT STUDY: WHY MEN ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE NICENE CREED Thomas M. Winger who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man In the summer of July 2004 the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod gave convention approval to Lutheran Service Book, the culmination of almost a decade of hymnal revision work. At every stage representatives of Lutheran Church–Canada were involved, as it is likely that large numbers of LCC congregations will purchase the new book. During this lengthy process the Lutheran Hymnal Project conducted the most extensive field testing our churches have ever seen. 1 One of the most contentious issues with which the LCMS Commission on Worship and its Liturgy Committee wrestled during the field testing process was the translation of the Nicene Creed (and to a lesser extent the Apostles’). Fierce reactions were received, both in favour of and opposed to various proposed changes. Ultimately the LCMS convention voted simply to retain the LW forms of the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds. Considering the significance of these creeds to our church, this decision was probably for the best. Ironically, it is perhaps the one change not made that will be most controversial in the future. For in retaining the LW translation, the convention chose to keep the contentious phrase “for us men”. In recent years many Christian churches have excluded or revised these words in updating the Nicene Creed, bowing to the argument that they offensively exclude women. On the other hand, in recommending the retention of these words, the LCMS Commission on Worship contended that no adequate alternative could be found. If this is indeed to remain a contentious matter in our church, we need to be well resourced to answer the inevitable questions that will arise when Lutheran Service Book appears in our pews. The following short study is intended as such a resource. It brings together many of the arguments 1 To speak of field testing of The Lutheran Hymnal (1941) would be entirely anachronistic. Although in the 1960s and ’70s the LCMS had evaluated a whole series of contemporary worship proposals, what finally appeared in Lutheran Book of Worship (1978) look very different indeed. And when this book was rejected by the LCMS in its 1979 convention, the rush to bring Lutheran Worship (1982) into print precluded any further field testing.
