4 Concordia Commentary Series Forthcoming 2017 HEBREWS John W. Kleinig 2 SAMUEL Andrew E. Steinmann ROMANS 9 16 Dr. Michael P. Middendorf (cph.org/michaelmiddendorf) is Professor of Theology at Concordia University Irvine, California. Romans conveys the timeless truths of the Gospel to all people of all times and places. That very fact explains the tremendous impact the letter has had ever since it was first written. In this letter, Paul conveys the essence of the Christian faith in a universal manner that has been cherished by believers and challenged by unbelievers perhaps more so than any other biblical book. In this commentary, you ll find the following: Clear exposition of the Law and Gospel theology in Paul s most comprehensive epistle Passage after passage of beneficial insight for preachers and biblical teachers who desire to be faithful to the text An in-depth overview of the context, flow of Paul s argument, and commonly discussed issues in each passage Detailed textual notes on the Greek, with a well-reasoned explanation of the apostle s message The thorough, thoughtful, and careful interaction with other interpreters of Romans and contemporary literature that runs through the commentary is truly excellent. Yet Middendorf listens first and foremost to the text and faithfully formulates his own answers to interpretive questions. His patient hearing of the text will bring other readers of Romans to do so as well. His cross-referencing and review of earlier sections of his argument is especially useful and will help others to understand the message of Romans as a whole. This commentary will have its impact in the pulpit and in the pew. 928 pages. Hardback with jacket $54.99 Dr. Mark Seifrid, Professor of Exegetical Theology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis 1 SAMUEL Dr. Andrew E. Steinmann (cph.org/andrewsteinmann) is Professor of Theology and Hebrew at Concordia University Chicago in River Forest, Illinois. The Book of Samuel contains some of the most memorable accounts of the Bible: Hannah s prayer for a son and trust in the coming Messiah, God calling Samuel at night in the tabernacle, the capture of Yahweh s ark and the death of the high priest Eli, the anointing of Saul as Israel s first king and his subsequent apostasy, the battle of David and Goliath, the messianic promise of the Son of David who will build God s house, and David s adultery with Bathsheba followed by his confession and absolution by the prophet Nathan. These incidents are skillfully narrated so that readers feel the tension, pathos, failures, and triumph of God s people under their kings. The lowly shepherd David from Bethlehem is anointed to be king of Israel, typifying the life, ministry, and eternal reign of the crucified and risen Christ. Even David s notorious sins provide opportunities for God to demonstrate the forgiveness he freely bestows through David s greater Son and Lord. 693 pages.

6 Historical Theology THE PASTOR Wilhelm Loehe; translated by Wolf Knappe; edited by Rev. Charles Schaum. Never before translated into English, The Pastor is a practical handbook for clergy who embrace the Reformation. Encounter newly uncovered perspectives from nineteenth century clergyman Wilhelm Loehe as he explains the how and why of a pastor s duties in the one holy catholic and apostolic church. He clarifies not just Lutheran pastoral practice in the nineteenth century, but also what it means to apply the Means of Grace to God s people in the twenty-first century, in harmony with the Church of all ages. Topics include the following: Pastoral practice and ethics Homiletics Catechesis Liturgics Pastoral care and counseling 360 pages. Paperback $39.99 Loehe s Th e P a s t o r is of great benefit, especially for Lutheran pastors today. Loehe, a German Lutheran living in the 1800s, was an expert in the pastoral and devotional literature of Lutheranism and of the Early Church. He brings forth these old treasures in this, his pastoral theology, and by doing so he opens a door to areas of divine wisdom that most modern pastors do not even know exist. From pastoral formation to Lutheran ascetic literature to Lutheran casuistry (solving difficult issues, cases of conscience) to worship and preaching, the old words of Wilhelm Loehe are new and contemporary to us. Matthew C. Harrison, President, The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod When Wilhelm Loehe died in 1872, he left behind a legacy in missions and diaconal work that is rightly celebrated down to the present day. His approach to pastoral theology was eclipsed by clinical approaches to pastoral care, which were long on psychological theory but short on theology. Now Th e P a s t o r makes his rich and reflective work as a shepherd who cared for Christ s people available to an English-speaking audience. The wisdom contained in this book was shaped by Loehe s own life under the cross, which pressed him into the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions. Th e P a s t o r is a classic work in the care of souls. I look forward to using it as a text in my own classes in pastoral theology. John T.

7 Historical Theology LIVES & WRITINGS OF THE GREAT FATHERS OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH Authored by a team of experts and edited by Dr. Timothy Schmeling with an introduction by Dr. Robert Kolb, this is a handbook to the chief confessional Lutheran pastors and theologians from the era of Lutheran Orthodoxy ( ), providing the story of the lives of the great Fathers of the Lutheran Church and translations of their best writings.

The scholars who produced this volume are expert and insightful, and the format of the volume serves well to introduce the Lutheran orthodox and to guide readers into the significant aspects of their thought. A necessary volume for anyone interested in either Lutheran theology or this era in intellectual history. Richard A. Muller, Senior Fellow, Junius Institute for Digital Reformation Research, P. J.

Mayes ON CHRIST Edited by Benjamin T. G. Mayes ON THE NATURE OF GOD AND ON THE TRINITY Edited by Benjamin T. G. Mayes ON THE NATURE OF THEOLOGY AND ON SCRIPTURE Edited by Benjamin T. G. Mayes Fall 2017 ON INTERPRETING SACRED SCRIPTURE AND METHOD OF THEOLOGICAL STUDY Edited by Dr. Benjamin T. G. Mayes, translated by Joshua J. Hayes Holy Scripture is God s Word put into writing through the prophets and apostles. But with several competing confessions all claiming to base their churches teachings on Holy Scripture, it becomes necessary to discuss the right way to interpret the sacred text. In the commonplace On Interpreting Sacred Scripture (1610), Gerhard first shows that Scripture s true meaning can indeed be understood by human beings. In his treatment of how to interpret Scripture, Gerhard explains the rule of faith, ways to remove obscurity from passages, the role of the Early Church Fathers as teachers of Holy Scripture, the literal and mystical senses of Scripture, allegory, dogmatic (doctrinal) exegesis, human reason, and reconciling apparent disagreements in the Bible. Finally, Gerhard explains the three general requirements for interpreting Holy Scripture: prayer, meditation, and testing (oratio, meditatio, tentatio). This volume includes Gerhard s first commonplace, On Sacred Scripture (1610), which he treated more expansively in 1625 in his Exegesis commonplaces (also published in this series), as well as his Method of Theological Study (1620), included here as an appendix COMMENTARY ON 1 AND 2 TIMOTHY Johann Gerhard; translated by Joshua J. Hayes Paul s two letters to Timothy are among his Pastoral Epistles, which explain the duties, powers, and promises given to Christian pastors and the people they serve. This commentary by Johann Gerhard ( ) explains the biblical text, answers doubtful questions, resolves apparent contradictions, and applies the text for teaching, admonishing, warning, and consoling God s people. The translation of the book from the original Latin was commissioned by the class of 2017 of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as their class gift. This group of future pastors decided to give a gift to the whole Church, one that speaks to the vocation upon which they are about to embark, and which instructs and edifies them in service to God s people. 200 pages.

11 PASTORAL THEOLOGY Edited by Dr. David Loy; translated by Christian Tiews. Walther s Pastoral Theology was the first confessional Lutheran handbook for the pastoral ministry published in the United States and remains, to this day, a very important work from a historical perspective. It also remains an eminently practical work of careful biblical theology and application of the Bible s teaching for the Church s ministry, and therefore will appeal to all who are concerned about the pastoral ministry and how it is practiced in a faithful, biblical manner. Walther explains the how and why of what a pastor does. This is the only complete translation of one of C. F. W. Walther s most important and influential books. C. F. W. Walther Pastoral theology is the God-given practical disposition of the soul, acquired by certain means, by which a servant of the church is equipped to perform all the tasks that come to him in that capacity validly, in a legitimate manner, to the glory of God, and for the advancement of his own and his hearers salvation. From Chapter One 576 pages. Hardback $39.99 Recently Released ALL GLORY TO GOD Encounter the final, mature systematic theology of C. F. W. Walther, first president of the LCMS. In no other work did Walther set forth his own theology as comprehensively as he did here. This volume is especially significant for its teaching on predestination and its defense of Lutheran doctrine as that which gives all glory to God. These writings sparked the predestination controversy in North American Lutheranism in the late nineteenth century and reinstated the doctrine of the Formula of Concord, Article XI. In this final apologetic, Walther makes the case for a conservative, confessional Lutheran approach to the major doctrines of Scripture. In deliberative and comprehensive fashion, he calls to the witness stand the testimony of his opponents, contrasting them with the clear words of the prophets and apostles, the Lutheran Confessions, Luther, and the Lutheran Church Fathers. This... is a final legacy a theological last will and testament to his beloved church family. Rev. Dr. Daniel N. Harmelink, Executive Director, Concordia Historical Institute 576 pages.

Lutheran theology survived the last five hundred years, but will it withstand the next? Ever since Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg centuries ago, Lutheran theology has had to overcome political, religious, and societal pressures that challenged its foundational teachings. But do Lutherans today understand their theological heritage well enough to maintain and defend their unique beliefs when outside pressures dismiss them as irrelevant to modern-day Christianity? Hallmarks of Lutheran Identity sets forth more than twenty important practices, doctrines, and beliefs that distinguish Lutheranism from all other denominations.

Whether you are a lifelong Lutheran, a Christian struggling in a pluralistic world, or just someone seeking answers about who Jesus is, this book is well worth the experience of reading. Pastor Tim Niekerk, Senior Pastor, Salem Lutheran Church, Tomball, TX A contemporary presentation of Lutheranism on a popular level that does not stray from this ancient faith. It is an easy read with the depth of the Scriptures and the catechism applied to our very real everyday situations. It covers modern concepts with an unflinching honesty and a clear-cut confession of the truth as revealed to us in Jesus. It is practical and useful to be given as a gift to someone who is looking for some devotional reading. It could be used as supplement to an adult instruction class. I see how this could be used in a congregation as a basic review of the faith in a Bible class setting. This is a doctrinal examination fit for laity to come to grips with why they believe what they do and a help for a pastor to better communicate the living, breathing Gospel of Jesus Christ, a truly Lutheran enterprise.

Those who are already members of a Christian congregation, as well as those who are inquiring about membership in a church, will come to understand the role of a member in the church and being part of its mission. 96 pages.

16 Apologetics HAS AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY FAILED? Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller is pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in Aurora, Colorado. In this sparkling handbook of Lutheran theology, the author draws on his own experience of popular American Christianity. Yet his focus is not on his own story but on the common impact of God s Word as Law and Gospel on its hearers. Against the backdrop of its spiritually shallow and superficially biblical claims, he portrays the full counsel of God evangelically and sacramentally, with wit and verve, clarity and depth, passion and imagination.

17 Apologetics SEXUAL MORALITY IN A CHRISTLESS WORLD Dr. Matthew Rueger is pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Hubbard, Iowa. Author Matthew Rueger openly embraces the topic of sexuality, providing a framework for Christians to defend their beliefs by first exploring the relationship between sexual sin in ancient history and twenty-first-century tangles of the same flavor. Topics such as temptation, promiscuity, marriage, homosexuality, natural law, and the church s role in it all swirl together to reveal our unifying need for a Savior. Rueger writes compassionately with a father s heart and adamantly with a fierce determination to outline the truth about sexual morality from a reasoned Christian perspective. In a wonderful, biblically faithful way, Rueger shows what it means to be a confessing Christian in the twenty-first century as he turns our attention to the bold witness of the first-century Christians who stood out among a promiscuous society and turned the world to the Gospel. This book will help those suffering under sexual confusion with a biblical sexual morality that is both compassionate and Christ-centered. Rev. Gary W.

Paperback $19.99 See also Summer 2017 THE LIFE OF CHRIST Rev. John Adam Fahling ( ) Anyone who has read the four Gospels has probably wondered, how do the events of Christ s life fit together? This newly updated volume answers that question, while also explaining why the Church rejected other accounts of Christ s life that recent manuscript discoveries have brought to light. Author Adam Fahling s unique commentary describes the most important life, from the most widely read book, from the most influential religion in history. About the author: Like Jesus of Nazareth, Adam Fahling taught the Scriptures and cared for souls, serving as a parish pastor in Oklahoma and Michigan ( ). His research into the life of Christ led to requests that he prepare this book based on history, archaeology, geography, chronology, and Greek philology. Rejecting the modern quest for the historical Jesus, Fahling focused on the traditional accounts of Jesus life. The result is an unparalleled, readable biography and commentary on the Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. 728 pages.

In addition, he serves as the Youth and Family Ministry Facilitator for the Pacific Southwest District of The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. After assessing current trends in the faith development of youth, Dr. David Rueter wrote Teaching the Faith at Home to reveal why the historic model of teaching the catechism early in the home is key in keeping families connected to the Church. Part 1 focuses on laying a foundation for understanding the history, purpose, and theological reasons for catechesis. Part 2 is a practical look at strategies and models for catechetical instruction that can be shared at church and used in the home. Catechesis that s grounded in family life is not a new idea, but it s one that our fast-paced culture often forgets and would do well to remember and cherish. 240 pages.

25 Luther Studies Fall 2017 MARTIN LUTHER S BASIC EXEGETICAL WRITINGS Dr. Carl L. Beckwith, editor, teaches history and doctrine at Beeson Divinity School, Birmingham, Alabama, and is associate pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in Irondale, Alabama. Among the areas of current emphasis in the study of the Bible and theology is the history of exegesis and the reception of the books of the Bible. The dissatisfaction with modern historical criticism and modern readings of Scripture have resulted in strong interest in premodern and precritical readings of Scripture. Martin Luther ( ) saw himself foremost as an expositor of the Bible. This book, perfect for classroom and armchair, shows Luther s theology as the explanation and unfolding of Holy Scripture. As an introduction to Luther s interpretation of Scripture for a broad readership, Martin Luther s Basic Exegetical Writings is a user-friendly volume that explores Luther s exegesis in a manageable anthology for the home library or the classroom. This best of the best of Luther s biblical commentaries is perfect for anyone who wants the main points of Luther s theology as explained from Scripture. 472 pages. Paperback $24.99 THE UNHOLY TRINITY MARTIN LUTHER AGAINST THE IDOL OF ME, MYSELF, AND I Dr. Michael A. Lockwood is a pastor and a member of the Commission on Theology and Inter-Church Relations in the Lutheran Church of Australia. Using key insights from Martin Luther, Dr. Lockwood unmasks contemporary idolatry and its futility in order to give pastors, church workers, and theology students a tool to help them understand the spiritual plight of our society. Lockwood shows that God s use of the Law for Christians as well as for non-christians includes the sufferings of life that destroy our self-sufficiency, which is the root of all idolatry. The book is full of practical suggestions for pastoral care, as well as evangelistic outreach, and can be an enormously helpful resource for pastors. Gene Edward Veith, Professor Emeritus, Patrick Henry College 280 pages. Paperback $16.99 PRAYING LUTHER S SMALL CATECHISM THE PATTERN OF SOUND WORDS Rev. John T. Pless is assistant professor of pastoral ministry and missions at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. To pray the catechism is to learn how to speak to God the Father in the name of the Son through the Holy Spirit. Praying Luther s Small Catechism moves sequentially through the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine with prayers developed out of the catechetical material. Commentaries on the doctrine of each passage reflect on how the teaching shapes our praying. Accessible to the beginner but insightful for the wisest, this is a wonderful resource for pastors and veterans of the Church, and for laypeople who serve as the heads (and catechetical teachers) of their households. 192 pages. Paperback $8.99 Fall 2017 DEFENDING LUTHER S REFORMATION Edited by John A. Maxfield, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Concordia University of Edmonton. Martin Luther has been accused of being a religious fundamentalist, irascible, an opponent of personal freedom, an anti-semite, an opponent of capitalism, a proponent of blind submission to the government, and an oppressor of women. Charges like these have increased leading up to 2017, the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Written by an international team of experts, Defending Luther s Reformation assists Lutherans and other Christians in grasping the significance of Martin Luther and the evangelical movement he initiated for the shaping of Christianity; in particular, the teaching and practices of the Evangelical Lutheran Church since its confessional formation in the sixteenth century. It equips readers to defend the existence of Lutheranism as a confession, dealing with both the successes and the failures of the Lutheran Reformation in achieving its goals of reform in doctrine and piety. In particular, it assesses controversial views of Martin Luther that were either broadly received into later confessional Lutheranism or ignored or rejected. The Reformation that Luther started and the heritage from this Reformation still matter today. Defending Luther s Reformation demonstrates this in a winsome and engaging way. 280 pages.

26 Luther Studies and Lutheran Theologians Fall 2017 LUTHERANISM VS. CALVINISM: THE CLASSIC DEBATE AT THE COLLOQUY OF MONTBELIARD (1586) Jakob Andreae and Theodore Beza; translated by Dr. Clinton J. Armstrong In 1586, six years after the Book of Concord was published, Lutheran theologian Jakob Andreae ( ) and Calvinist French Reformed theologian Theodore Beza ( ) met to debate the differences between their two confessions. Their debate centered on the Lord s Supper, the person of Christ, Baptism, and predestination. These are the classic issues between these two Protestant confessions, and this is the classic debate between two leading theologians of the second generation of the Reformation. Their debate shows how Lutherans and Calvinists discussed the differences between them in the sixteenth century. As Andreae demonstrates how to defend the Christian faith in debate, he also gives us a commentary on the Book of Concord, showing how one of its authors understood the distinctive teachings of the Lutheran Reformation. 520 pages.
