Deutschlander's New Book: The Theology of the Cross

The Theology of the Cross: Reflections on His Cross and Ours
by Daniel M. Deutschlander

Are you living under the theology of the cross or the theology of glory? This new book looks at Christian doctrine and reminds readers that all biblical doctrine relates to Scripture's central teaching that God sent his Son to save lost sinners. However, it also deals with the seeming paradox between the theology of the cross and the theology of glory. Sinful people tend to overlook the cross and its demands. As a result they take their eyes off Jesus and turn their attention to themselves. It is a rich study of a weighty theological issue and a worthy addition to a professional or personal library.

GJ - I do not have this book yet, but I know Deutschlander is one of the most respected teachers in WELS. Readers may recall that Ski skipped the Deutschlander presentation to WELS pastors in Atlanta in order to worship with the Babtists and John Parlow. Deutschlander, at the late Northwestern College, had no use for the Church Growth Movement.

I was able to page through a preview of this book at a bookstore, and it seems quite interesting. I happened upon a section entitled "Lutheran Worship reflects the theology of the cross, not the theology of glory" (or similar). Looks like this will be good reading.

The public school students had to take "remedial" doctrine class at MLC, and Deutschlander taught it. But contrary to the 000-level numbering, the class was likely the most rigorous, focused, and confessional class I have taken while in attendance at any Lutheran college. Many future WELS pastors who "escaped" by attending parochial school audited the class anyway. Hopefully some of it rubbed off on them.
