Theological resources from the Lutheran tradition.

Compend of Lutheran Theology by Leonard Hutter

9/30/2020

Picture
Leonhard Hutter's Compend of Lutheran Theology was a standard theological textbook for many years following the Reformation. This volume is a short and comprehensive treatment of Lutheran theology. It is written in a question and answer format, and is an especially helpful work for catechesis.

Hutter writes within the scholastic tradition, yet this work is very accessible. He heavily utilizes selections from the Lutheran Confessions, Scripture, and the writings of Luther and Melanchthon. This edition was translated by Henry Eyster Jacobs for use in Lutheran education in America in the nineteenth century.

Leonhard Hutter (1563-1616) was a professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg, and was an early proponent of Lutheran orthodoxy.

The Doctrinal Theology of the Evangelical Lutheran Church by Heinrich Schmid

4/4/2020

​In the contemporary Lutheran church, our rich dogmatic heritage is often forgotten. We tend to privilege Luther and other early reformers over the later tradition that developed through his reforms. The church would benefit from a thorough read of those within the seventeenth century scholastic tradition, along with the reformers, who systematized and expounded upon Luther's ideas.Heinrich Schmid's The Doctrinal Theology of the Evangelical Lutheran Church is a concise summary of the developments of the seventeenth century scholastic theologians in the Lutheran tradition. Schmid compiles citations from the best of that tradition, including Gerhard, Chemnitz, Calov, and Quenstedt. Schmid also includes several historical notes, demonstrating how each particular doctrine has developed in the history of Lutheran theology. This book is an essential read for anyone who desires to understand the Lutheran theological tradition.

The Doctrine of the Person and Work of Christ by Ernst Sartorius (Classics in Dogmatics)

3/13/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
This work is based on the manuscripts of Sartorius’ lectures on Christology which were given at Tartu University in 1831. These talks discuss the person of Christ, the work of Christ, and incidentally touch on several other aspects of Christian theology. He explains the distinction between the law and the gospel, as well as the Christological foundation of justification. Sartorius’ manner of proceeding throughout these talks is devotional rather than dogmatic, though traditional Lutheran systematic theology stands behind Sartorius’ words.

The Church: Its Origin, Its History, Its Present Position by Luthardt, Kahnis and Brückner (Classics in Dogmatics)

3/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
The doctrine of the church is an often neglected aspect of theology. In an age of individualism and do-it-yourself Christianity, this teaching is perhaps more important than ever.

In this classic work, three nineteenth-century German theologians explain the theology and practices of the church from three separate angles. In the first, Ernst Luthardt overviews the Scriptural basis for the church from both the Old and New Testament. In the second, Karl Friedrich August Kahnis discusses the history of the doctrine of the church from the Patristic era through the medieval period, and then in the Reformation. In the final series of essays, Benno Brückner speaks to the problems of the church in his day.

Though first published in 1867, the work of these theologians continues to impact Christian witness today, and the church would be wise to heed advise from these bright lights of its past.

The Doctrine of Justification by Matthias Loy (Classics in Dogmatics)

10/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
The doctrine of justification, the "chief article of the Christian faith," is of paramount importance in the Christian life. This teaching was at the heart of the sixteenth century Reformation, and remains so in the contemporary church of the Augsburg Confession. When many today are seeking to downplay the importance of this teaching in the Pauline corpus and the proclamation of the church, traditional Lutheran evaluations of the great doctrine of justification are needed today more than ever. In this volume, Matthias Loy outlines the doctrine of justification in its classical Reformation formulation. Loy writes in the tradition of Lutheran scholasticism, though his work is not dry or purely academic, but immensely practical. Loy is concerned with the faith and assurance of the average Christian. He discusses the nature of justification, the means of justification, and the effects of justification in the Christian life.

The Doctrine of Baptism: Selected Writings on the Sacrament by Charles Krauth (Studies in Dogmatics)

10/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
No doctrine differentiates Confessional Lutherans from the broader Protestant world more than the conviction that regeneration comes through baptism. This volume consists of three works by Charles Porterfield Krauth on the subject. The fist work is "Infant Baptism and Infant Salvation in the Calvinistic System." Through an extensive look at Reformed divines, Charles Krauth demonstrates that Reformed theology has no grounds for assurance that one's baptized children are saved. He shows that the Reformed tradition has a consistent belief in infant damnation, whereas the Lutheran reformation gives assurance to parents of baptized children. The second treatise, "Baptism: The Doctrine Set Forth in Holy Scripture and Taught in the Evangelical Lutheran Church," is a systematic study of the Lutheran view of baptism in contrast to other perspectives. The final selection in this volume is from Krauth's The Conservative Reformation and Its Theology, in which he explains the teaching of the Lutheran Confessions on the doctrine.

The Atonement and Modern Thought by Junius Remensnyder (Classics in Dogmatics)

10/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
With the rise of liberalism in the nineteenth century, a number of traditional Christian doctrines were rejected by prominent theologians and pastors. One of the central disagreements between liberal and orthodox theologians was over the doctrine of atonement. While confessional Protestants, both Lutheran and Reformed, continued to confess Christ's death as a vicarious satisfaction of sin, liberal theologians argued that this was an outdated medieval concept which should be rejected for other atonement models. In this book, Junius Remensnyder argues for a traditional reformation approach to the atonement in light of contemporary criticisms. Though this work is one hundred years old, the criticisms leveled against the vicarious atonement remain the same today. As contemporary theologians, including some who are popular in Confessional Lutheran theology, continue to utilize these arguments, Remensnyder's book remains a powerful and concise treatment of the work of Christ's on behalf of sinners.
