The Doctrinal Theology of the Evangelical Lutheran Church produces a comprehensive look at the complete development of Lutheran theology through the turn of the nineteenth century. Heinrich Schmid draws from 10 Protestant scholastics, compiling a dogmatic volume on old Lutheran theology, citing Melanchthon, Chemnitz, Gerhard, Hutterus, Hafenreffer, Calov, Quenstedt, Baier, Hollaz, and König as Lutheranism’s primary post-Reformation theologians.

Experience the life’s passion of the Reformation’s greatest theologians. This selection of sermons by Calvin and Luther demonstrates that these widely-regarded theologians and Reformers were preachers at heart.

Martin Luther is best known for posting the 95 Theses in 1517, in which he argues that indulgences are not acts of penance that can replace true repentance. His stance on the Word and his faith made him one of the key figures of the Reformation. Throughout his life, he wrote numerous letters to family, friends, and the leaders of the day. This collection features a selection of his correspondence—to popes and princes, reformers and humanists, his wife and acquaintances. The range of these letters give us a better understanding of who Luther was and provide a glimpse into a lesser-known side of his life.

Martin Luther was never shy about calling out what he believed to be the excesses, heresies, and depravity of his tempestuous era. In these sermons on Matthew 5–7, he interprets Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in light of the theological disputes of his day. Luther’s take on Jesus’ most famous sermon has become one of the most influential approaches in Christian history, emphasizing a strong dichotomy between the Gospel and the Law—a view heavily influenced by his sharp disagreements with the Catholic Church.

Born in 1582, by his mid-thirties Johann Gerhard was regarded as Germany’s greatest living Protestant theologian. He established the tradition of Lutheran scholasticism and wrote some of the period’s most popular and influential devotional literature. He wrote these Sacred Meditations when he was only 22. In his introduction, Charles Albert remarks that Sacred Meditations, “. . . gained and maintained a deep and lasting hold upon the Church, as so expressing the loftiest devotion, with spiritual insight so just, that all, even those old in the faith, might be guided and uplifted by the meditations of so young a disciple of Christ.” This devotional book contains 51 meditations from the prominent Luther theologian.

Emerging from the heart of the Reformation, the Lutheran denomination, with its rich theological history, has had a significant influence on Christian thought. Its deep German roots gave it the theological and literary backbone it needed to produce high-caliber seminaries, schools, and formal church education programs. As the denomination and its influence grew, many Lutheran theologians found their writings in high demand, and German-Lutheran writers frequently had their works translated or reproduced in multiple languages. Represented here in the Lutheran History Collection are four volumes that were specifically designed to increase knowledge of the Lutheran faith and share with English-speaking ministers the theological treasures being discovered in Germany.

A church’s liturgy and worship is the language directly from hearts of God’s people to the heart of God himself. And while the heart of worship hasn’t changed, the languages of man changes with every passing century. Lutherans have always looked to the history of the liturgy and its translation when updating liturgical, hymnological, and worship traditions to contemporary language and usage. In this unique collection, the fathers of Christian worship are consulted as well—even those from before the sixteenth century Reformation—so that, while the words may change, the integrity of Christian worship is preserved until the end of time. These texts explore and demonstrate the liturgical culture of the Lutheran church between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, so that in the twentieth and twenty-first, Lutherans find the same fruitful edification that has sustained the church thus far.

Focused on the teaching of the Bible, the writings of Martin Luther represent a massive corpus of biblical interpretation and theological articulation. Luther's work was the first attempt to use a critical edition of the New Testament in order to provide exegetical support for Christian doctrine. His writings transformed Christianity and helped usher in the modern world. With this collection, you'll get dozens of Luther's most important titles including commentaries on Scripture and key theological treatises.

Nearly five centuries have passed since Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church in October, 1517, as a response to the corruption of early Renaissance Roman Catholicism. Soon after that, the originally derogatory term "Lutheran" was first used to describe Luther and his followers by theological opposers. The name and doctrine have remained, and James William Richard tells the historical account from Martin Luther and the German Reformation, to the migration of Lutherans to America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the subsequent divisions and doctrinal differences of the denomination.

Take a guided tour of the events, places, and personalities that make Joshua, Judges, and Ruth three of the Bible’s most exciting books.

Consider the place of Christ in the historical books, their practical application, and the depth and richness their stories bring to the biblical narrative.

Presenting a wide number of theological treatises, The Groundwork of a System of Evangelical Lutheran Theology is actually a comprehensive analysis of Lutheran practical philosophy. The groundwork begins in real, practical Christianity, rather than theoretical ideas. It seeks to reproduce scientifically what Christianity has evidenced in practice. The experience of the believer and objective truth are just as important in establishing a theological framework. And uniting these practically evidenced dogmas with the fundamental goals of the Reformation, a historically aware—yet modernly true—Evangelical Lutheran systematic theology takes root.

Each of these valuable texts were widely distributed within the Lutheran church and were even used and referenced by other denominations. These texts were each designed to equip the church with the educational materials it needed to guide and supplement life in the body of Christ. The three texts included here will be especially useful to pastors, professors, and seminary students, particularly—but not exclusively—those interested in catechetics or the scriptural basis for Lutheran beliefs and practices.
