This final volume in the American Lutheran Classics series combines two works of America's first great Lutheran thinker. The first of these is a treatise on the subject of Baptism, in which David Henkel responds to the work of the Methodist Joseph Moore. In it, he clearly and ably defends the Lutheran understanding of Baptismal regeneration against criticisms which are still common in the church today. The second work is a series of articles on the central Reformation doctrine of justification by grace alone, through faith alone.David Henkel (1795-1831) was a pastor, church planter, and theologian who served in various positions in the southern United States. Along with his brother, Philip, he helped to bring Confessional Lutheran thought into America, including providing an English translation of the Book of Concord.

Paul Kretzmann's Popular Commentary on the Whole Bible was written in the early twentieth-century, and continues to be used by both pastors and laity today. He writes on each book of Scripture from a Lutheran perspective with an emphasis on practical and theological application of the text.John Theodore Mueller writes about this work:"Its purpose is to open to the common people the portals to the marvelous treasure house of God’s wisdom, not in order that people might admire the golden portals, but that they might adore the divine fullness of God’s wisdom and truth. The Popular Commentary is a Lutheran commentary composed in the spirit of Luther, whose one paramount desire was to have all people read and understand, believe and live the Bible. It is a commentary such as Luther would have written, had he lived in America today, a commentary of the Bible and for the Bible."

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: The Triglotta Edition

Melanchthon, Philipp

The Augsburg Confession is the foundational confession for the Lutheran faith, and began the process of defining the stances of the Lutheran church. Written in 1530, this document continues to define what Lutherans believe, teach, and confess in the world today. This volume includes Charles Porterfield Krauth's translation of the Augsburg Confession, along with an extensive historical and theological introduction. At the end of the volume, Krauth includes his comments on the Confession, and corrects some common misunderstandings of its teaching. This edition has been slightly modified so that it is easier for the modern reader.

Krauth, Charles Porterfield

In the late nineteenth century, a debate surrounding the doctrine of election erupted within American Lutheranism. One party held to the "intuitu fidei" approach to election, arguing that God's election unto salvation occurs in view of the faith of his people. C.F.W. Walther and others in the Synodical Conference argued, against this, that God's election is unconditional. Francis Pieper's book Conversion and Election is the most detailed defense of the doctrine of unconditional election unto salvation from the Lutheran tradition. He demonstrates, throughout the work, that God predestines sinners by grace alone. Yet, he also demonstrates that God's grace is universal, and thus rejects double-predestinarian Calvinism.
