Lutheranism & the gospel Martin Luther proclaimed

The list author says:
	"The forgiven believe 'Jesus has done everything necessary to save us.' Promoting free will instead puts focus on the one 'who through the exercise of free will contributes to his or her salvation.'"

The list author says:
	"By offering the forgiveness obtained by the incarnation and work of Christ, the good news and sacraments supernaturally enable everything done by the believer, even in his or her vocation, to be lived daily in his name (Col. 3:17), that is, liturgically."

The list author says:
	"Another great place to start. Why the gospel must be kept completely free from pluralism, Arminianism, and Calvinism. Includes questions for study groups."

The list author says:
	"A short introduction to Walther's Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel (described below). Includes questions for study groups."

The list author says:
	"Persuasive overview of Lutheran theology, including excellent material on the perspicuity of Scripture. Used in LCMS seminaries. Index and individual volumes available from the publisher."

The list author says:
	"The author, a founder of the LCMS, cleared up misconceptions & brought assurance. The gospel is not a demand, but the good news that Christ has already accomplished everything needed for forgiveness."

The list author says:
	"Bonhöffer calls antinomians, especially those who bear the Lutheran name, back to the faith of Luther and the Lutheran confessions. However, Bonhöffer was not as orthodox as Sasse."

The list author says:
	"According to Luther, the errors of Erasmus, like those of the Arians, the Reformed, and other heretics, resulted from a disregard of the clear words of Scripture, not from their lack of clarity."

The list author says:
	"Scholarly and clear account of the main controversy between Luther and Zwingli, with a detailed description of their debate at Marburg."

The list author says:
	"Interprets the words of institution as if they were clear, defending them against Zwingli, Calvin, and their early followers, by an author of the Lutheran confessions."

The list author says:
	"Timely information on the lack of doctrinal unity among the earliest Christians, and on fellowship between orthodox and heterodox Christians. Documents Calvin's agreement with the Zwinglians."

The list author says:
	"Why a Lutheran, unlike a Calvinist or Roman Catholic, continues to depend on his or her baptism. Explains why baptismal regeneration occurs by faith alone."

The list author says:
	"Accounts for the observation that the gospel accounts were written for liturgical use."

The list author says:
	"The author takes issue with Luther's reading the Sermon primarily as law rather than as gospel. Includes observations on John 6."

The list author says:
	"What all genuine Lutherans believe, from Martin Luther to the Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church."

The list author says:
	"How each baptized Christian's calling crucifies the selfish flesh, enabling the new man to supernaturally rise in response to the good news to freely serve out of genuine love for the neighbor."

The list author says:
	"Draws a sharp contrast between the atonement theology of the apostles, the early church fathers, and the Lutheran catechisms on the one hand, and the atonement theology of Anselm, later Protestant orthodoxy, and Roman Catholicism on the other hand. The contrast is overstated in the treatment of Lutheranism, but the fathers' emphasis on God's victory over his enemies is explained well."

The list author says:
	"Dispels many misconceptions. Notes that the sacramental controversy led Luther to reject the medieval spatial conception of heaven (beyond the starry firmament) even before science rejected it."

The list author says:
	"More advanced material answering Reformed objections, by an author of the Lutheran confessions. Read this before making accusations of christological heresy."

The list author says:
	"An insightful and well researched critique of  'the new perspective on Paul.' ('Lutheran' therein is defined much more broadly than in the other books on this list.)"

The list author says:
	"My Dawning Realm web site has references to many of the above books."
