Annotations on the Gospel According to St. John (Lutheran Commentary Series)

12/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Lutheran Commentary Series is the first series of Lutheran commentaries written in English. These volumes were compiled by Henry Eyster Jacobs, who called upon the greatest Lutheran exegetes in America to write a series of commentaries on the New Testament. The first commentary was published in 1895, and the publications continues through the early twentieth century. These volumes cover the entirety of the New Testament.The volumes in this series are unabashedly Lutheran. Each author holds to a firm commitment to the Lutheran distinctives as outlined in the Book of Concord. Yet, the method of treatment is not that of imposing preexisting theological categories on the New Testament text. Rather, these are careful works of studied exegesis. Though over one hundred years old, these volumes continue to be a valuable resource to the church, both pastors and laity, in explaining God's Word from a Lutheran perspective.This volume covers the entirety of the Gospel of St. John.

The True Church and the Holy Ministry: Two Treatises on Ecclesiology by E. Greenwald and Henry Eyster Jacobs

10/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
This volume contains two separate treatises on the subjects of church and ministry. These essays contain doctrines and arguments that remain relevant to the contemporary church, and debates within Lutheranism in particular. The first section is a booklet written by E. Greenwald on the nature of the true church. In this treatise, Greenwald argues that the Lutheran church is the true church because of the nature of its Biblical and apostolic teaching. He then treats two subjects which differentiate the Lutheran reformation from other Christian traditions. First, he discusses the centrality and nature of justification by faith; second, he treats the Lutheran view of Holy Communion. The second treatise is written by Henry Eyster Jacobs on the nature of the Holy Ministry. In this document, Jacobs cites and documents the view of the Holy Ministry as explained by the Lutheran dogmaticians of the seventeenth century.

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 Distinctive Characteristics of the Lutheran Church by G. Luecke

10/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Within the broader worls of contemporary evangelicalism, Lutheran distinctives remain unknown to many. The Lutheran tradition does not quite fit into any particular theological mold that guides theological dialog on a popular level. Lutherans are not Calvinists or Arminians, they are not Roman Catholics, but are not quite Protestant either. Within the milieu, an easy and brief introduction to Lutheran theology and practice is needed. George Luecke's The Distinctive Characteristics of the Lutheran Church is a compact introduction to Lutheranism. He discusses the central themes of Lutheran theology, the uniqueness of Lutheran worship, and the various Lutheran churches in America. Though written in 1920, this book remains relevant to contemporary society.

George Henry Gerberding's "The Lutheran Pastor," is an extensive treatment of pastoral theology from a Lutheran perspective.

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

10/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
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 Baptism: Selected Writings on the Sacrament by Charles Krauth (Studies in Dogmatics)

10/2/2019

1 Comment

 
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.

Christian Theology: Volume 2 by Milton Valentine

9/20/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Milton Valentine (1825-1906) was the most prominent theologian of the General Synod after the death of Samuel Schmucker. Unlike Schmucker, Valentine was committed to the unaltered Augsburg Confession, and argues for Lutheran unity in America based on a quia subscription to the Augustana. Unity was impossible however, between the General Synod and the General Council due to the remaining liberalism amongst many clergy and theologians in the General Synod. Though committed to the Augustana and the historic Lutheran tradition as he understood it, Valentine was still largely influenced by the protestantizing tendencies of his own church body. This should not, however, serve as grounds for dismissing Valentine as a theologian. He was a highly original and intelligent theologian, producing the best theological textbooks to arise from the General Synod. Valentine's treatment of the order of salvation and the work of Christ are especially beneficial. When speaking of the sacraments, however, Valentine is influenced by Reformed thinking. This is the second volume of Valentine's Systematic Theology that served as a textbook for many years at Gettysburg Seminary where Valentine served as president. This second volume covers soteriology, the sacraments, ecclesiology, and eschatology.

Theoretical Ethics by Milton Valentine

"It is refreshing to find a treatment of he psychology of the moral agent, the being we know as man, without beginning with the oyster or the earthworm, and being left as last in doubt whether the human soul differs in kind or degree from the insignificant embodiment of nervous susceptibility with which we began. Dr. Valentine takes man as he finds him, endowed with rational intellect, sensibility, and free will, and leaves the evolutionary biologist to amuse himself with the problem how he came to be what he is. What he is, is all that essentially concerns the ethical philosopher." -Bibliotheca Sacra

Though committed to the Augustana and the historic Lutheran tradition as he understood it, Valentine was still largely influenced by the protestantizing tendency of his own church body. This should not, however, serve as grounds for dismissing Valentine as a theologian. He was a highly original and intelligent theologian, producing the best theological textbooks to arise from the General Synod. Valentine's treatment of the doctrine of God, apologetics, and Holy Scripture are especially beneficial. When speak of conversion and election, however, Valentine tends more in the Arminian than historic Lutheran direction. This is the first volume of Valentine's Systematic Theology that served as a textbook for many years at Gettysburg Seminary where Valentine served as president. This first volume covers prolegomena, the doctrine of God, and the doctrine of man.

This is Valentines major apologetic work. In this book, Valentine defends a robust natural theology, arguing that Theism is the only rational worldview in contradistinction to the materialistic rationalism which pervaded the nineteenth century. Valentine stands within the nineteenth century apologetic tradition among the likes of B.B. Warfield an Charles Hodge. Though some of the science of this book is dated, this work still stands as a convincing rational defense of the Christian faith.

This volume in Weidner's unfinished Christian Dogmatics series expounds upon the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. This book is not, however, a Pneumatology in the traditional sense; rather than simply explaining the person of the Holy Spirit, Weidner emphasizes His work in the individual believer. This book is essentially a treatment of the traditional Lutheran ordo salutis. Weidner discusses important topics such as: the call, justification, sanctification, and the mystical union. Throughout the text he utilizes classic Lutheran writers, along with nineteenth century European theologians. He contrasts the Lutheran ordo salutis with that of the Reformed church.
