Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About This Volume On the Ministry I contains the first half of Gerhard's commonplace On the Ministry and focuses on the call and work of ministers both of civil and ecclesiastic power, where the second volume considers the power and duties of the ecclesiastic office specifically. On the Ministry argues for the existence of the office of ministry since creation, with Adam as both ecclesial priest and civic ruler, called directly by God. Gerhard distinguishes between God's immediate call to ministry, such as his direct selection of the prophets or the apostle Paul, and the mediate call to the ministry, present through the calls extended by the church to ordained men. Concerning the specific practice of ordination, Gerhard calls it a good and proper practice, especially based on the exhortation to test and examine ministers in 1 Timothy, but does not regard it as sacrament or divine mandate. Gods call, whether immediate or mediate requirement. Gerhard also covers the methods for investiture, transfer, and-in unfortunate cases-removal of ministers. About This Series The Theological Commonplaces series is the first-ever English translation of Gerhard's monumental Loci Theologici. Gerhard was the premier Lutheran theologian of the early seventeenth century. Combining his profound understanding of evangelical Lutheran theology with a broad interest in ethics and culture, he produced significant works on biblical, doctrinal, pastoral, and devotional theology. Gerhard interacts with the writings of the church fathers, Luther and his contemporaries, and the Catholic and Calvinist theologians of his day. His 17-volume Loci is regarded as the standard compendium of Lutheran orthodoxy, with topics ranging from the proper understanding and interpretation of Scripture to eschatology. Useful for research on Lutheran doctrine, Gerhard's accessible style makes this a must-have on the bookshelf of pastors and professional church workers. Each embossed hardback volume includes the translation of Gerhard's Loci (originally published from 1610 to 1625) - a glossary of key theological, rhetorical, and philosophical terms - a name index - a Scripture index - a carefully researched works cited list that presents guidance for deciphering the numerous abbreviations of the other titles from which Gerhard quotes.

On the Ministry presents the pastoral office as a divine office imbued with power, right, and authority to publicly preach and interpret the scriptures and to exercise the office of the keys.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About This Volume In On the Church, Gerhard presents a robust ecclesiology centered on the doctrine of the visible and invisible church. Brick and mortar communities represent the visible church, which includes both faithful and faithless members. Gerhard calls the true church "invisible" because the faith of its members isn't outwardly discernable. As marks of the church, Gerhard simply proposes the pure preaching of the Word of God and the proper administration of the sacraments. He also extensively refutes the "exclusive" marks of the church proposed by his Roman Jesuit opponent Robert Bellarmine. The discussed marks include the name "catholic", antiquity, long duration, historical consensus, unity, holiness of confession, efficacy of conversion, holiness of life, miracles, prophesy, death of enemies, temporal felicity, and the acknowledgment of the church's truths by her enemies.

This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book of the Bible, Genesis, God creates the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all of its things. It's only fitting that in the last two chapters in the last book of the Bible, Revelation, that He reveals what is to happen at the end of creation and the world. This Theological Commonplace looks at the End of the Word, Hell, and Eternal Death. In this translation of Johann Gerhard's work, the reader will be introduced to the onomatology of different words and phrases at the beginning of each topic before diving into crucial questions about the topic. Pulling from Scripture and addressing questions such as Is there a hell? or Will the end of the world come? the reader will be able to see sound biblical arguments answering these questions. Additionally, the antithesis is given room to be discussed to show how both sides of the argument have come to fruition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About This Volume On Good Works was written both in opposition to antinomianism and to Rome's claims of moral perfection in this life.First, Gerhard makes clear through the analogy of faith the fact that the regenerate faithful are not free concerning whether they do good works or not. Works flow from living faith and are necessary by God's command, the order of reason, and one's duties. These works are both a consequence of and a maintenance of faith. Concerning the works themselves, Gerhard distinguishes between morally good works done in faith and outside faith. In faith, good works are rightly pleasing to God, though Gerhard argues that in this life good works do not achieve perfection. Outside of faith, works cannot please God insofar as the end of these works is not love of God. The longest chapter of this volume "On the Merits of Good Works" concludes that human works are never meritorious for salvation-due to their imperfection--but that God does reward good works.

Book excerpt: "This collection of essays serves as a sourcebook of significant writings on the reception and use of the theology of the two kingdoms. The Lutheran teaching of the two kingdoms, in one way or another, touches on every article of faith from creation to eschatology. It is critical to vocation, as the Christian navigates life as a citizen of this world while simultaneously a citizen of the heavenly kingdom through faith in Christ Jesus. Without the distinction between the two kingdoms, faith is misplaced, and the neighbor is deprived of the love owed him or her. Pastors, church leaders, teachers, and theology students will find in these essays a respect for Luther's confession of God's two kingdoms and a desire to see it fruitfully utilized in addressing the issues we now encounter in the world"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James 2:17 tells us, "Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." When Christians feel obligated to do good works, they are crushed by the Law. It is only through viewing good works as part of God's Gospel promise that doing good works is a joyous expression of one's faith. In this new addition to the Theological Commonplaces series, we learn Gerhard's teachings about the etymology and synonyms of the phrase "good works"; the divisions, cause, forms, purpose, necessity, perfection, and merits of good works; second justification through works; and the loss of faith through sins.
