This small volume of devotional prayers—a translation of a book of 45 prayers—was penned by Johann Gerhard (1582-1637), a prolific writer, professor, pastor, and one of the great Lutheran theologians during the golden age of Lutheran Orthodoxy, while he was in his early twenties.

When you see the beauty and eloquence of these prayers, you will realize there are few people these days of any age that can write or pray like this.

As a theological student in Finland, Dr. Saarnivaara became interested in the question of Scriptural baptism. Which baptism, he wondered, had the most authority: the one a person received in infancy, or the one received as an adult after a conscious conversion. Should he, as one who had been baptized in infancy, be baptized again, after his conversion, in order to be a Christian in the Biblical sense, or was the baptism he received as a child valid?

This is the perfect resource for congregations, and parents, to use as they prepare for a child's Baptism. Pastors will want to give a copy of this book to every family having a child Baptized, and parents will want this book in order to more fully understand the gift of Holy Baptism.

Inside is useful information such as the Scripture's teaching about Baptism, a look at the Baptism service, and everyday activities that can be done with a child to help him/her after the Baptism.

The Conservative Reformation and Its Theology provide the definitive nineteenth-century statement of the unique theological identity of confessional Lutheranism as researched and explicated by one of the era's greatest theologians.

This powerful critique of American Christianity chronicles the spiritual pilgrimage of one man and provides a defense of the pure Gospel.

This unique book is divided into two parts. First, a spiritual autobiography of the author, describing his journey from unbelief to American Evangelicalism and Campus Crusade staff work, to his true home in the Lutheran church. Secondly, a hard-hitting critique of shallow, pop-style worship and theology, The Defense Never Rests sets forth a Lutheran approach to apologetics (the defense of the faith to unbelievers).

This great devotional is a work of genius. It utilizes Luther's Small Catechism and the Church Year and weaves them together to create a rich devotional tapestry that draws you into the rythms of the Christian Life.

After a small but very useful chapter on how to use this book, and a simple explanation of the Church year, the book dives right in with the complete texts of Luther's Small Catechism and the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds.

Creeds have been used by the church since its very beginning. The New Testament Scriptures contain many primitive creedal formulations. Showing that, from the time of the Apostles, creeds have been an important part of the Church’s heritage. One use of creeds is as a confession of faith for those being baptized, which explains their three-part division into articles on the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Apostles’ Creed is an example of a baptismal creed.

Another important use of creeds is to combat heresy. In the early 4th century, a priest named Arius taught that the Son was not God in the same way that the Father was God.

After a journey of years through a variety of religious experiences and frustrations with mysticism and eastern religions, liberal theology and social justice programs, and several branches of Christianity, Dr. Gene Veith found answers in Christianity and specifically with "the first evangelicals [Lutherans]."

Theologia et Apologia gathers together eighteen essays, written by a wide range of scholars, on Reformation theology and its defense. Orthodox theology, grounded in the Scriptures, calls humanity to believe. This same theology must also be presented and defended to a world that has often not attended to its vital message.
