Henry Eyster Jacobs Is No Longer Overlooked as a Lutheran Leader
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019
Format: Paperback

I would suggest Jacobs to anyone looking for a clearly written, Scriptural, doctrinal book, faithful to the Lutheran Reformation. The writing is lucid and obviously coming from a genius who wanted to convey the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the simplest words. The book reminds me of the Gospel of John in that respect, aiming at strengthening and creating faith in the Savior. Jacobs' Summary is too easily overlooked by those who followed his era and felt superior and more scientific in their knowledge. Likewise, those outside the General Council were too eager to find fault with its leaders and too sluggish to appreciate their merit.
