Principles of Lutheran theology

Carl E. Braaten

"First published in 1983, Principles of Lutheran Theology has guided countless students into theological reflection on the landmarks of Christian faith as understood in the Lutheran confessional heritage. Now updated and with an additional chapter, the book sets forth with an eschatological accent the main principles of classical Lutheran theology. Canon, confession, ecumenicity, Christ-centeredness, sacrament, low/gospel, and two kingdoms are examined not only in terms of their original meaning and historical development but also in light of current reflections." --Book Jacket.
