kshop in Religious Education. — Our committee provided
: ed dollars for this workshop, which studied methods
i terials for the teaching of religion in Lutheran elementary
» The Board for Parish Education has published a com-

ive report on this workshop entitled, “Religion in Lutheran
sdinols.” by Wm. A. Kramer, and the monograph “Leading Chil-
into the Bible” by Allan H. Jahsmann. These two books were
oye developments of the workshop. The workshop also stimu-
lated experimentation leading to the preparation of new materials
of religious education for the intermediate and upper grades.

8. Cultural Institute. —'The Lutheran Academy for Scholarship
conducted an institute on “The Church and Modern Culture” in
co-operation with representatives of the Student Service Commis-
sion, Valparaiso University, and the Lutheran Collegiate Associa-
tion. The project provided a composite study by authorities in
their respective fields on the cultural impact and potential of the
Lutheran Church, with particular reference to the growing influ-
ence of our Church on the American way of life. The proceedings
of this conference have been made available to interested parties

for one dollar.
Progress Report on Projects Previously Reported

1. A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament. — This
project involves rendering into English the fourth edition of
W. Bauer’s Griechisch-deutsches Woerterbuch zu den Schriften des
N.T. und der uebrigen urchristlichen Literatur. Dr. W. F. Arndt
of the faculty of Concordia Seminary, St.Louis, Mo., serves as
director of the venture. Dr. F..W. Gingrich works with him as
lexicographer. The work includes making such alterations and
augmentations to Bauer’s work as the available material makes
possible. ‘

On account of the war, Dr. Bauer had been cut off from sources
of information in the United States, England, ahd other countries,
and some important publications had not been accessible to him.
Doctors Gingrich and Arndt spent the first year assembling this
additional material. In the summer of 1950 Dr. Gingrich made
a trip to Europe, where he met Dr. Bauer and other scholars and
obtained much valuable information for the work that lay ahead.
The actual composition of this manuscript was started in Septem-
ber, 1950. As of January, 1953, about one half of the manuscript
had been prepared. The editors believe that at some time in 1954
the printer can begin his work on the project.

2. A Luther Anthology. — This project involves a careful read-
ing of the 103 volumes of the Erlangen edition of Luther’s works.
The purpose of the reading was to select those gems from Luther
which would give his point of view on significant problems of the
