Glad to find it

This is one of CF Walther's key work. An excellent discussion on the balance of Law and Gospel and a must read for those who do not clearly understand the roles that Law and Gospel play in the life of Christians and is an indispensible book for Pastors.

Changed my life

My pastor loaned me this book when I was in confirmation class at 13, but I only found it a year ago Christmas when I was certain that I was going to hell. The insight Walther shows into the bible is astounding, and caused me to return to the Lutheranism I was raised with because of the comfort of the objective word and sacrament. I wish it was in print and available somewhere. But I'm not giving away the copy I have. (And if Pastor Ron Cooke III reads this and wants it back, he should send me an email.)

Will change your view of the Bible.

This book is a summary of the lengthier version of Walther's Law and Gospel. While written over 100 years ago, it is still used by most Lutheran pastors to fashion their sermons. It will give you insights that not only will help you interpret the Bible but also listen to sermons critically. Outside the Bible, there are only four other books that have changed my life as has these theses found in this book.
