Walter A. Maier Still Speaks - Missouri and the World Should
Listen, by Herman J. Otten
A compilation of articles by and about Walter A. Maier which
appeared in Christian News over the years.
To
those who heard him, Walter A. Maier was "the greatest radio preacher of all
time." On the verge of a distinguished academic career in Old Testament
studies, he stumbled upon radio in the 1920s, and through it achieved a worldwide
success as "the voice of the Lutheran Hour."
Maier's
articles on a six-day creation, the J-E-D-P source hypothesis, Messianic prophecy,
Psalm 22, historical criticism, birth control, World War II, socialism,
communism, theological modernism, the Federal Council of Churches, marriage,
patriotism, Russia, economics and labor are now virtually unknown in the LCMS.
