Why Get This Book

For pastors, seminarians and serious lay readers who want to know why Lutherans read the Bible the way they do. Johann Gerhard (1582-1637) is widely considered the most scholarly theologian of the seventeenth-century Lutheran Church, and his writings have shaped the Church for four centuries. This volume brings his teaching on theology and Holy Scripture into English, part of his great work on doctrine. Honest note: it's dense, technical theology, not bedtime reading; casual readers should start elsewhere. Next step: read 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and thank God for His trustworthy Word.
