Gregory L. Jackson I really like Bente's Historical Introductions. The crypto-Calvinist section should be a test for ordination.

GJ - There is the cure, fellow Concordians. If Lutherans study their own Confessions and follow them, the problems of today will recede - but not go away. Sinful people will always be drawn to false doctrine and false teachers. The battle never ends in this life.
The leaders of the Olde Syn Conference tried money, and they had boatloads from Marvin Schwan. That did not work.
Believers trust in the Word.
Unbelievers trust in man-made schemes. Unbelievers think the church needs money.
Believers realize that the true Church only needs the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace.
