The second book is extremely important because it provides a foundation for Reformed perspectives on human nature, especially the enslaved will.

By now, readers should have noted that Calvin follows the outline of the Apostles' Creed. God the Son is the focus of this portion of the work. Those with a background in churches that have difficulty making sense of the "old covenant" should find Calvin's thoughtful approach to the relationship between the Old and New Testaments fascinating.

In the third book, Calvin's focus turns to the Holy Spirit, as seen through the perspective of the economy of salvation.

Most readers interested in the Institutes will be seeking to understand the distinctive theology Calvin lays out in this book, especially his doctrine of predestination (III.xxi). Nonetheless, one should note from the outline that before discussing election, Calvin considers other doctrines which are essential to evangelical thought.

As most good theologians, Calvin concludes his theology with reference to points mentioned toward the end of the Apostles' Creed.

First, he describes his model for the church - one that differs markedly from the hierarchical model developed during the Middle Ages.

This audio recording of the Catechism, which includes the Six Chief Parts from Luther's Small Catechism, the Daily Prayers, Table of Duties, and the Christian Questions with Their Answers, is a powerful devotional, instructional or memorization tool.

A wonderful devotional or personal study aid, this recording includes the Six Chief Parts from Luther's Small Catechism, Daily Prayers, Table of Duties, and the Christian Questions with Their Answers and the six catechetical hymns by Martin Luther. Also included is Luther's hymn, "Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in Your Word."

Reformation folk are often charged with "having no doctrine of sanctification." To answer this charge, Lutheran theologian William Hordern writes his masterful little Living by Grace.

Much of the book is analysis of why so many of us Christians "measure Christianity" this way. It is to be expected of the non-Christian, because our behavior is all he or she notices (if he or she evaluated by doctrine, he or she would likely become a Christian!) But a lot of the charge traces back to Rome and to Wesley, so the issue is all too often within the circle of Christianity more than it is an issue to the non-Christian (with the exception of the theme that "...the church is filled with hypocrites.")

Dr. Hordern doesn't have a Biblical view of Scripture's inspiration and inerrancy, but you can just "read over" such paragraphs. On what the Reformers called "the material principle [the Gospel]," he is extremely insightful.

Written by Martin Luther in 1529 in question and answer format, the Small Catechism explores the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. Also included are daily prayers, a table of duties for Christians in their various callings in life, and a guide for Christians to use as they prepare to receive Holy Communion.

Luther intended the catechism to be a prayer book for individuals and families and a powerful tool for the Christian life because it provides a brief, clear summary of God’s Word on the essentials of the Christian faith.

Additional reference material includes: books of the Bible; the creeds and confessions; an explanation of Luther's seal; an explanation of the church year; fifty terms relating to worship and God's House; a brief history of the time between the testaments; an outline of God's salvation plan; and fifty Christian symbols and their meanings.

From Martin Luther's Letter to Two Pastors Concerning Rebaptism.

In ever more increasing numbers, Christians who were baptized as infants are having themselves rebaptized as adults. But is a second baptism really necessary? Could it even be harmful?

The great reformer Martin Luther addresses these questions in this short work—freshly translated from German into modern English—and in the process outlines the basics of baptism. It is a must read for anyone contemplating their own rebaptism, or the baptism of an infant.

Formatted into 14 simple chapters along with study questions, this 88 page book is perfect for personal devotion or Bible study.
