XXII DECEMBER 1951 No. 12 Tribute to Dr. William Arndt WE dedicate this issue of the MONTHLY to Dr. William Arndt, honored teacher, beloved colleague, eminent scholar, and humble Christian. Dr. Arndt's name is inseparably linked with the history of this journal since its birth in 1930. From 1930 to 1938 he was one of its co-editors and from 1938 to 1949 its managing editor. But Dr. Arndt was also identified with former theological journals of our Chutch. From 1924 to 1926 he edited Magazin fuel' ev.-luth. Homiletik und Pastoraltheologie, and from 1926 to 1930 the THEOLOGICAL MONTHLY. We thank Dr. Arndt for these services, faithfully and well performed. The present issue of the MONTHLY is in the nature of a Festschrift. Except for the sermon study supplied by a pastor, the entire issue consists of theological studies contributed by members of the St. Louis Fa'CUlty. Since Dr. Arndt devoted the major part of his teaching career to the language, interpretation, and history of the New Testament, the Festschrift is featuring several articles dealing with New Testament subject matter. Nevertheless, the other theological disciplines are not neglected. Each is represented by at least one article. In December the Christian Chutch commemorates the birthday of the Savior of the world. He employed Dr. Arndt as His ()OVAOC;. Him Dr. Arndt served as his KUQLOC;. Therefore, though we dedicate this Festschrift to Dr. Arndt, we are, in reality, laying a trophy at the feet of the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ. May He continue to bless our beloved colleague!
