Articles in this issue include Church Authority by Matthias Loy, Reason: Its Place in the Kingdom of Nature and Grace by M H Hockman, Martha and Mary by C H L Schuette, and The Doctrine of the Real Presence in the Ante-Nicene Church by C H L Schuette.

A Lutheran periodical devoted to theological discussion has long since been needed…We have the firm conviction that a periodical faithful in all respects to the symbolical books of the Ev. Lutheran Church, setting forth the old doctrines of the Reformation, endeavoring to make English readers acquainted with the treasures of learning and thought contained in old German and Latin folios, exhibiting the solidity and symmetry of the theological edifice erected by our fathers in an age less hurried and more thorough than the present, is what the Church has long since needed and now needs in the English language." - Matthias Loy

Level of Difficulty: Intermediate: Some subject matter knowledge helpful.
