While Biblical Theology is often thought of as a discipline engaged in primarily by Reformed scholars, it was developed as a distinct field of study from Dogmatic Theology by Lutheran authors in Germany beginning in the mid-nineteenth century. This volume is among the first books on the subject published in English, as Weidner summarizes the thoughts of various German Lutherans, while offering several of his own insights.Biblical Theology discusses the progress of God's revelation throughout the Biblical narrative. Throughout, Weidner argues against critics who view the Bible as the product of natural religious development, rather than an inspired text. This first volume covers the entirety of the Old Testament.

This volume covers the book of Genesis. In it, Weidner develops his biblical theology as drawn from figures like Karl Keil, Franz Delitzsch, and Gustav Oehler, as he exposits major themes from the first book of the Bible. He criticizes the historical critical school throughout the text, and argues that Genesis was written by divine inspiration, and that its themes find their end in Christ.

Gustav Friedrich Oehler was an Old Testament scholar and professor at T bingen in Germany. At this time, he was among the foremost proponents of theological conservatism with regard to the Old Testament, rejecting the rationalism of Schleiermacher and the liberal school arising from his work. For Oehler, the Old Testament is an account of real history and divine revelation, rather than a product of mere human development.This two volume set, published after Oehler's death by his son in 1874, contains the contents of Oehler's three decades of lectures on his area of expertise. This early work of Biblical Theology explains the progressive revelation of divine truths from the first chapters of Genesis through the end of the Old Testament. It contains both a history of God's people, and an examination of the theological convictions of the Old Testament authors as moved by the Spirit.

John Tauler (1300-1361) was a German Dominican theologian, preacher, and devotional writer. He had a profound influence in his own time on both clergy and laity. Tauler was a man of profound spiritual devotion, and he preached against a purely external Christianity defined by empty ritual. Faith, for Tauler, included a personal relationship between the Triune God and the believer. Luther cited Tauler as one of the foremost influences upon his thinking. Later devotional writers such as John Arndt and Johann Gerhard would similarly draw heavily on the works of the medieval mystic. The reason for Tauler's popularity, particularly among heirs of the Reformation, is apparent in this work, titled Meditations on the Life and Passion of Christ. This book is a Christ-centered devotional masterpiece, throughout which the author contemplates various elements of Christ's life and passion. Throughout, he expresses the Christian's own sins and sole reliance upon Christ for salvation. This is an ideal work for Lenten devotions.

Johann Arndt's True Christianity was the most popular devotional work within the Lutheran tradition in the century following the Reformation. This book went through a number of editions in Germany, and has been translated into dozens of languages. Through a series of meditations, Arndt discusses the Christian life in practical terms, which were meant to be understood by the average layperson.Arndt's writing was influenced by the Theologia Germanica, John Tauler's sermons, and Thomas A Kempis' The Imitation of Christ, along with the writings of Martin Luther. Significantly, Arndt mentored Johann Gerhard, who continued Arndt's promotion of practical piety, while also providing a rigorous academic defense of Lutheran thought.
