"Collected from his writings in Lutherische Brosamen, 1876; Ansprachen und Gebete, 1888; Casual Predigten und Reden, 1889; Festklaenge, 1892."

Discover the final, mature systematic theology of C. F. W. Walther, first president of the Lutheran ChurchMissouri Synod. In no other work did Walther set forth his own theology as comprehensively as he did here. This significant volume focuses on the Lutheran understanding of predestination and a defense of Lutheran doctrine that gives All Glory to God.

Matthew Harrison s new edition of this seminal writing by the first president of the LCMS restores Walther s precise language on the doctrines of church and ministry. As the subtitle of the original German edition states, The Church and The Office of The Ministry is a collection of testimonies . . . from the Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and from the private writings of orthodox teachers of the same.

A theological guide to understanding the bible and how to read it.

This is a smaller 6x9 edition of the modern rendition of C.F.W. Walther as Theologian. This stellar work by Dr. Franz Pieper acts as a guide to one of the most important figures in early American Lutheranism.
