The Conservative Reformation by Charles Porterfield Krauth “The history of Christianity… moves under the influence of two generic ideas: the conservative, which desires to secure the present by fidelity to the results of the past; the progressive, which looks out, in hope, to a better future. Reformation is the great harmonizer of the two principles. “Conservatism without Progress produces the Romish and Greek (Orthodox) type.

Read more Luther Examined and Reexamined by William Dau “Rome has never acknowledged her errors nor admitted her moral defeat. The lessons of past history are wasted upon her… A recent Catholic writer correctly says: ‘There is no doubt that the religious problem today is still the Luther problem.’ Almost every statement of those religious doctrines which are opposed to (Roman) Catholic moral teaching find their authorization in the theology of Martin Luther.” – William Dau Contents Preface. 1 Luther Worship. 2 ... Read more The Eisenach Gospel Selections by Richard C. H. Lenski Now available is this encouraging and hard to find volume of expositions by beloved pastor R C H Lenski. Richard C. H. Lenski (1864-1936) is best known for his insightful and still invaluable series of New Testament Commentaries. He served as Professor of Theology at Capital University and President of the Western District of Joint Synod of Ohio and Editor Die Lutherische Kirchenzeitung. Level of Difficulty: Intermediate: Some subject matter knowledge helpful. Dr. Lenski’s sermons are ... Read more Catecismo Luterano 1905 Edición Schwan Este breve y ampliamente utilizado catecismo es evidencia de que los Luteranos del Sínodo de Missouri no hace mucho tiempo claramente enseñaron y creyeron en la justificación por la fe. Heinrich Christian Schwan fue presidente del Sínodo de Missouri durante 20 años (1878-1899), pero ese largo servicio y sus actividades pastorales y misioneras se han borrado de las historias de la LCMS. La presidencia de Schwan se intercaló entre las presidencias de CFW Walther y el sucesor en la enseñanza ... Read more The Seventh Vial: The Past and Present of Papal Europe As Shown In The Apocalypse by James Aitken Wylie “Each party has its own cherished project, which it will strive to the utmost to realize. The Ultramontanes will conspire to lift the Church of Rome once more to universal sway over the nations. The Reactionaries will energetically labor to bring back the palmy days of despotic governments; and the Revolutionists, inferior in numbers and energy to neither of the other two parties, will leave no stone unturned towards realizing their golden dream of a universal republic.” — ... Read more Preaching on John by R C H Lenski “Preaching on John is a series of exegetical-homiletical text studies in which the person of John the Evangelist and some of his choice teachings are treated. After submitting each text to a thorough and satisfying exposition in which applications to present-day life are constantly made, the author presents some sermon outlines and offers homiletic hints.” “There is an abundance of helpful material here for a series of sermons on the disciple whom Jesus loved.” — ... Read more The Story of Our Hymns by Ernest Edwin Ryden ‘This volume has been inspired by a desire on the part of the author to create deeper love for the great lyrics of the Christian Church… To know the hymns of the Church is to know something of the spiritual strivings and achievements of the people of God throughout the centuries. Henry Ward Beecher has well said : “Hymns are the jewels which the Church has worn, the pearls, the diamonds, the precious stones, formed into amulets more potent against sorrow and sadness than ...
