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. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About This Volume On Sin and Free Choice consists of three of Johan Gerhard's commonplaces: On Original Sin, On Actual Sin, and On Free Choice On Original Sin establishes the existence of original sin from the testimony of the scriptures. Gerhard identifies original sin not only as the loss and lack of mankind's original righteousness but also a newly corrupt quality that adheres to our nature, while not being rightly called the whole substance of fallen man. On Actual Sin presents Gerhard's understanding of committed sins, caused by mankind's corrupted nature, Satan, and the stumbling blocks of the world. He proposes various divisions of sin such as voluntary and involuntary sins, sins of ignorance or infirmity, and sins of omission versus commission. Regardless of their type, sins are mortal in Gerhard's framework, insofar as all sin brings death, even though Gerhard fervently confesses a scale of severity in sin in terms of earthly reckoning. Gerhard also dedicates large portion of the volume to concupiscence, its nature, and its implications. On Free Choice addresses freedom of the will in two realms, civil and divine. Concerning the civil will, Gerhard supports the notion that day-to-day choices and actions are within the domain of mankind's will. The freedom he denies it the freedom to choose righteousness and turn towards God. Gerhard argues that prior to regeneration, the will of man is bound to sinfulness insofar as it is without faith in and love of God.

Book excerpt: In On Justification by Faith, the latest relase in the English translation of Gerhard's Theological Commonplaces, Gerhard defines justification in regard to Calvinism and the Christian life. He draws from Luther and Chemnitz to support his beliefs, which place justification entirely outside of humanity and instead on God alone who saves. This classic work is a necessity for anyone seeking to better understand a biblical interpretation of justification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About this Volume On the Gospel and Repentance includes two of Gerhard's commonplaces: On the Gospel and On Repentance. On the Gospel defines the Gospel carefully as the proclamation of God's promises and forgiveness of sins for the sake of Jesus Christ. Since confusions continually arise on the relationship of the Gospel to the text of the New Testament, Old Testament, and the Law of God, Gerhard carefully distinguishes Law from Gospel and explains how the Gospel is found in both testaments. Against the Roman Catholic idea of "supererogation," Gerhard explains that Christ revealed the same moral Law as had been given in the Old Testament, but did not add to new laws that are supposedly optional for Christians. On Repentance deals with salutary turning-away from sins, which Lutherans commonly define as including contrition (grief over sins committed) and faith in the promise of forgiveness for Christ's sake. Much of this commonplace takes apart the Roman Catholic sacrament of Penance, defined as consisting of contrition, confession, and satisfaction, as well as the concept of indulgences that is bound up with this. At the same time, Gerhard supports and defends private, individual confession and absolution of Christians before their pastors as a practice fully in accord with Holy Scripture.

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.

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.

Download or read book On Creation and Predestination - Theological Commonplaces written by Johann Gerhard and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About This Volume On Creation and Predestination consists of four of Johan Gerhard's commonplaces: On Creation and Angels, On Providence, On Election and Reprobation, and On the Image of God in Man After the Fall. On Creation and Angels presents a day-by-day interpretation of the creation account that argues for a simple six-day timeline, against a variety of astrological interpretations prevalent in his day. Gerhard emphasizes the Ex-Nihilo mode of creation, and he identifies each of the three persons of the Trinity in the action of creation. In a lengthy supplement, Gerhard considers the creation of the Angels. Here, he explores the term "angel" as a title of office, meaning "messenger", rather than a specific nature of being. He dismisses extensive studies of the ranks and orders of angels on the account of the limited scriptural evidence for such pursuits and denies any practice of angelic veneration. On Providence considers the foreknowledge of God, attributing to it purpose, control, preservation, governance, while maintaining that in the case of human sin God foresees sin, sustains the lives of fallen men, and permits their sin even as he limits its extent and uses it for good. On Election and Reprobation establishes the causes of election and reprobation in mankind. Gerhard argues for an election based on foreseen faith while also firmly confessing that faith is a gift of God. In contrast, Gerhard sees human sin as the sole cause of reprobation. On the Image of God in Man After the Fall demonstrates Gerhard's position that the Image of God in mankind was the original righteousness and holiness present in creation before the fall. After the fall, he argues, the Image of God in man is lost until it is renewed in individuals by the Holy Spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About This Volume On the Law contains two of Gerhard's theological commonplaces: On the Law of God and On the Ceremonial and Forensic Laws. On the Law of God delineates the various types of God's law, including the moral, ceremonial, and forensic laws. Gerhard dedicates the majority of this commonplace to the decalogue itself, investigating each commandment individually. He also argues for three uses of the Law, as curb, as mirror, and as guide. On the Ceremonial and Forensic Laws explores the laws of Israel, especially those ceremonial laws pertaining to the holy times, places, and sacrifices of the temple. Gerhard takes the common stance that the forensic law was pertinent to the Jewish political state but abrogated by Christ, unlike the moral law which persists for all nations.
