Would you happen to know why so many confessional Lutheran pastors favor Berthold von Schenk and why all I get is a chuckle and the 8th Commandment in return when I complain about it?

GJ - I was not aware of him, except I heard about his group when working on my dissertation at Notre Dame.
Oddly enough, I just volunteered to write a review of his book, which will appear in Christian News in the near future.
From my first reading of the book I would say that someone defending and following Von Schenk is anything but a Confessional Lutheran. Remember that Rev. Richard J. Neuhaus (LCMS, Seminex, ELCA, Church of Rome) called himself a Confessional Lutheran until he poped. His Confessional Lutheran friends have also poped.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the National Council of Churches.
