Format:Hardcover
This book is essentially a condensation of Francis Pieper's four volume set. However, it is easier to read and contains an extra section (on the Millennial Kingdom). It is also not cumbersome to use since it is a single volume containing about 665 pages. Mueller's secton on prolegomena (pp. 1-89) is one of the best you will ever read from an orthodox evangelical perspective. He upholds the orthodox understanding of the inspiration of Scripture and promotes an uncompromising evangelical theological methodology. This section is one of the jewels of Mueller's work. The rest of the book is a treatment of the standard subjects of systematic theology from a confessional Lutheran perspective (LCMS). Even if you're a non-Lutheran it is worth the time to read Mueller's treatment of the various subjects just to get a good understanding of what confessional Lutherans believe. I heartedly recommend this readable volume.

A fine one volume Confessional Lutheran systematics text. Mueller successfully brings together Francis Pieper's three volume dogmatics into one volume with a complete index.

I am a Lutheran pastor. We were to use Pieper's four volume set in seminary classes. I already had Mueller. My copy of Pieper was the German edition. I had picked it up at a library cast off sale for ninety cents for the complete four volume set. My German was not sufficient at the time to do my reading assignments from Pieper. I was able to use Mueller for all but one worksheet question. I have used Mueller often over the years. My copy is littered with underlinings and notes, as well as clippings I have pasted into it. Sometimes the proof passages he cites are not always the best and I have made notes on some I think make the point better than those he cites. It is, as other reviewers have noted, a condensed version of Pieper's four volumes. Mueller does use Latin, German, Greek, and Hebrew phrases; but usually follows them immediately with an English translation of the phrases. Still, this may be disconcerting to users who cannot read those languages.

Mueller's Dogmatics not just a summary of Pieper's
J. T. Mueller's one volume Christian Dogmatics is not simply a summary of Francis Pieper's Christian Dogmatics (3 volumes plus an index volume). Read more
