The Walkout and the creation of Christ Seminary-Seminex was the culmination of theological conflicts that had been brewing for decades. Rediscovering the Issues Surrounding the 1974 Concordia Seminary Walkout presents the important doctrinal issues that contributed to the conflict and, ultimately, the shattering of a church body.In this book from Concordia Historical Institute, twelve theological scholars examine the causes and issues involved during this tumultuous time. Was it a battle for the Bible? Or was it primarily a contest between two men-Jacob A. O. Preus and John H. Tietjen-revolving around the historical-critical method's approach to biblical interpretation and the understanding of what constituted unionism? Was it primarily a political institutional power struggle? Or was there more to it?Each chapter addresses a different doctrinal issue and explores the historical and theological background of it.
