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. 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.

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: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johann Gerhard (1582-1637) was one of the leading dogmatic theologians of his time and was the authoritative voice of seventeenth-century Lutheran Orthodoxy. Yet, he also published numerous devotional works and meditations that were meant to be used in the daily lives of ordinary believers. The Handbook of Consolations sought to provide comfort and encouragement not only to those approaching death, but also to those who provided care for the sick and dying. Gerhard himself was no stranger to sickness and death, having lost his infant son and young wife, and faced numerous life-threatening illnesses throughout his life. In this pastoral work, which is the first complete English translation based on Gerhard's original Latin to be published since the seventeenth century, Gerhard brings together his extensive understanding of Scripture, theology, and church history in a practical and easy-to-understand manual that is as relevant and meaningful in the twenty-first century as it was in Gerhard's day.

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. 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.

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.
