In treating Goethe's poetry, I encountered a dilemma. As usual, I strove for absolute accuracy.

There is plenty of good in his life. And much of his poetry lends itself to positive treatment. I did not treat those that did not. In those cases, I merely...

In this radically different interpretation of the Hebrew text of the Song of Solomon, we do not follow the current fallacious attempts to find a historical basis of the text in the life of Solomon. We treat it as it obviously is: an imaginary romance designed to typify the love of the promised Messiah for the faithful of Israel, which is the Old Testament Church, and by extension, the love of Christ for His Church.

Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary is located in Mequon. Wisconsin. Professors and students tend to be of German extraction, though there are exceptions.As is still true today, our community was conservative during the Kennedy era. We sympathized with the objective of Senator McCarthy and looked askance at the incipient liberal movements that were raising their heads. Some liked the new rock music, but most liked the classics. As far as our lives were concerned,...

According to legend, the apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew preached the gospel in Armenia and became martyrs there.

The Bible was eventually translated into the Armenian language, and devout Christians produced excellent Armenian literature.
