The Historical Development of Objective Justification by Larry A. Darby
The Historical Development of Objective Justification by Larry A. Darby

Objective Justification is another name for the atonement, right? No. They are not the same. How did so-called “objective justification” arise in the Missouri Synod and WELS? How does it compare to the old teaching of justification? How has the teaching of objective justification changed among Lutherans since 1872? How does this teaching compare to Holy Scripture? Could the modern teaching of objective justification help explain why Lutheranism has grown spiritually lukewarm? The author answers those questions and others in this controversial exposé of doctrinal evolution." — From the Back Cover

The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah (complete and unabridged) by Alfred Edersheim
The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah (complete and unabridged) by Alfred Edersheim

“It is a mistake to regard everything in Talmudic writings about ‘the Gentiles’ as presently applying to Christians… That ‘the heathens’ of those days and lands should have been suspected of almost any abomination, deemed capable of any treachery or cruelty towards Israel—no student of history can deem strange…

“It is to help the reader of Holy Scripture that the series has been undertaken. In writing it… I have wished to furnish what may be useful for reading in the family… More than this, I hope it may likewise prove a book to put in the hands of young men, — not only to show them what the Bible really teaches, but to defend them against the insidious attacks arising from misrepresentation and misunderstanding of the sacred text.” — Alfred Edersheim

An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism by Joseph Stump
An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism by Joseph Stump

This book aims to present both an analysis of Luther’s Small Catechism and a clear, concise, yet reasonably full explanation of its contents. It is an attempt, upon the basis of twenty years’ experience and a study of the literature of the subject… The object of the book is twofold: first, to furnish an outline of teaching which the pastor may use as a guide in his oral explanation and questioning; and secondly, to furnish a sufficiently complete summary by means of which the catechumens may review the lesson and fix its salient points in their minds. — From the Introduction

The Table Talk of Doctor Martin Luther: A Selection
The Table Talk of Doctor Martin Luther: A Selection

“Another quality that strikes us… is Luther’s unfailing sense of humor. Reformers are usually deficient in humor. Their earnestness seldom permits them to laugh. Luther was the most earnest man of his century, and lived in more earnest times than any Europe had witnessed since the close of the first century. But his merry laugh rings through the entire solemn drama of his life. He relieved himself and others by permitting himself glimpses at the ludicrous aspects which human nature presents even in the transaction of its most solemn and momentous matters.
