Overview
Since 1904 the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod has published a theological journal, originally called Theologische Quartalschrift, now the Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly. This journal is issued by Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary as a testimony of its theological convictions, as a public witness to the saving truths of Holy Scripture, and in the interest of the theological and professional growth of those whom the seminary is training for the public ministry and of those already active in this ministry.

Top Highlights
“Isn’t the Lord here rather giving a promise to his people, a promise which was to serve the same purpose which all of his promises serve, namely, to cause his people’s faith in him to grow? Essentially the Lord was assuring the potential giver, ‘I will not let you down or forsake you after you have given to me. You will not suffer materially because you have been generous in honoring me.’” (Page 94)
“The destruction of Jerusalem, as was mentioned, prefigured the end of the world and signaled the beginning of that end.” (Page 202)
“This principle of stewardship which the Lord taught his Old Testament people so clearly shows the importance of faith in the Lord and his goodness as an essential ingredient in the God-pleasing offering of earthly goods. And no amount of law preaching, enticements or gimmicks, or the laying out of the needs is going to create such confidence in the hearts of God’s people. It will come only from a patient and loving proclamation of the good news of salvation in Christ Jesus. Only the person who knows and trusts in the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord will cheerfully give of his material goods. That is because he finds security in the Lord’s faithfulness to his promises, not in the goods which he is holding in his hands.” (Page 95)
“Both law and example in the Old Testament show that the Lord taught his people to give when a need existed, whether that need was ongoing or special. And so God’s people ought to give today. The intent of giving is to honor the Lord, but the Lord is not honored if the needs of his kingdom work are not met. Therefore, those needs, ongoing or special, ought to be put before God’s people as opportunities for service. And when our people respond, it ought to fill our hearts with the same joy that filled the hearts of ancient Israel at the building of the temple. The Lord has once again moved his people to honor him with their offerings.” (Page 94)
