"The Glory of the Lord" a Special Manifestation of the Lord's Zeal on behalf of his Word

Abstract

Professor August Pieper under the title, "Die Herrlichkeit des Herrn," wrote on the' special phenomenon which we in English know as "The Glory of the Lord." His outstanding article, which appeared in the Theologische Quartalschrift, Vol XXIX, Nos 2-4 and Vol XXX, Nos 1-2, has been trans- 1ated by Rev. John Schaadt and Prof. Carl Lawrenz and appeared in the Quartalschrift - Theological Quarterly in Vol 52, beginning in No.2. The English translation has also been reproduced in paperback by the Seminary Mimeo Company. In his article Professor Pieper ind{cated that there are additional manifestations of "The Glory of the Lord," which he was not able to treat within the limitations of his article. It is that statement which led to the present study. In order to present all the manifestations of "The Glory of the Lord" under a unified plan, the first three chapters will briefly review the materials presented in Prof. Pieper's article. The primary emphasis of those three chapters will be to show how the manifestations, which Prof. Pieper has thoroughly treated, fit into the overall plan of this study. Consequently the real substance of this paper will begin at Chapter IV. (The superscript numbers that occur in the text refer to the Endnotes, which begin. on page 187. Quotations from the Bible are made from the NASB translation.)
