C. F. W. (Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm) Walther (October 25, 1811 - May 7, 1887) has been described as a man who sacrificed his homeland, his health and nearly his life for the freedom to speak freely, to believe freely, and to live freely. He was dedicated to his Church and the faith for those he loved. He was the first President of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and its most influential theologian.

C.F.W. Walther was the first president of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and president of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. He remains the most influential theologian to arise from the Synodical Conference. He is most well known for his book "The Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel," and his contributions to the debate on God's eternal election. Though a dogmatic thinker, Walther was primarily a pastoral theologian. He served at Trinity Lutheran Church in St Louis from 1841 until his death in 1877. This volume is a compilation of several of Walther's sermons. These sermons are edifying as well as theologically rigorous. In these message, Walther shows a great concern for the believer's life in Christ. He is a careful expositor of God's Word, a studied dogmatician, and a caring shepherd of Christ's church.

Selected Letters (English and German Edition)

C.F.W. Walther's "The Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel" is the Missouri Synod theologian's greatest theological work. This book consists of a series of thirty-nine lectures that Dr. Walther gave his seminary students at the end of his life on one of the foundational elements of Lutheran thought. In twenty-five theses, Walther expounds upon the distinction between the Law as God's demands upon his creatures, and the Gospel of God's free grace in Christ. Each thesis is defended by extensive Scriptural exegesis.
