Lenski and Schwan - Lutheran Library Publishing Ministry

 Loy, Lenski, and Leupold made the Columbus, Ohio seminary famous and respected,
but their students rejected the Biblical view in favor of rationalism. The Lutheran Library Publishing Ministry and the Lutheran Librarian printed books are the best sources for these authors. Note that the sign highlights Capital three times, Christ not once.

Epistle Selections of the Ancient Church 

by R.C.H. Lenski

A vast gulf exists between the Lutheran laity and the clergy, professors, and synod parasites of ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC and the micro-minies: the Pan-Lutheran Association of Nonbelievers, PLAN.

1. One side adheres to the pseudo-scholars who view the Bible as a book written by man, Jesus as merely a human, and the Church as a cozy place to accumulate wealth and undeserved honors. Their favorite leaders should be in a locked ward or a penal colony.
2. The other side includes faithful pastors, those whose parishes can only be found with help from Google Maps. but whose service is long, difficult, and unrewarded in material ways, but richly rewarded in spiritual treasures. 

Those who expect future generations to belong the second group need to fortify themselves and the younger generations with the works of Luther, Loy, Lenski, and Leupold. Simply put, the Bible is the revealed Word of God, and Jesus is the true Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, crucified for our sins, risen and ascended to Heaven. 

A Short Exposition of Dr. Martin Luther's Small Catechism: 

1905 Schwan Edition by Heinrich Schwan

WELS and LCMS have always taught Justification without Faith - Objective Justification - right? Wrong!

Gausewitz wrote a catechism for the Olde Synodical Conference that only taught Justification by Faith. It is harder to find an original Gausewitz than a sober WELS official.

As Pastor Vernon Harley published in the LCMS (reprinted on this blog), the 1905 Schwan Catechism taught Justification by Faith and did not teach Objective Justification.

Schwan was a missionary, a parish pastor, a district president, and the President of the Missouri Synod. He introduced America to the Christmas tree - another fact not mentioned by those who bend the knee to Presidents Walther and Pieper, who were before and after the 20 year presidency of Schwan.
