Doctrine Is Life Robert D. Preus on Justification and the Lutheran Confessions

Robert D. Preus wrote and taught theology for more than 40 years as a pastor, professor, and seminary president. He applied his analytical and communication skills to the theological task, teaching Christ's doctrine because "doctrine is life." Gathered from his extensive catalog of work, the eighteen articles in this volume offer a cross-section of Preus's research and commentary on the doctrine of justification and on the Lutheran Confessions and their application in the life of the church today. Among other topics, Preus interacts with the theology of Martin Luther, John Quenstedt, and other early Lutheran fathers; reiterates the importance of confessional subscription; and evaluates the realities of fellowship in mid-twentieth-century U.S. Lutheranism. This volume closes with four reflections on the life and ministry of Robert Preus. Considered one of the leading systematic theologians in The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Robert D. Preus ([dagger]) wrote extensively throughout his career, including the two-volume Theology of Post-Reformation Lutheranism, Justification and Rome, and The Inspiration of Scripture (all available from Concordia).
