- W424484940 abstract "This is a fine, fine book. In eleven well-written chapters the authors have covered the basic teachings of the Christian faith in a way which is at once fresh and traditional. Probably aimed at college and first-year seminary students, it is suitable for most laypersons who have done some reflecting on the meaning of their faith. It may be too demanding for a new-member class, but it would be an excellent aid for the pastor or teacher preparing for such a class. The authors are Lutherans, professors at Valparaiso University, who aim to be both catholic and evangelical. They write of Christianity’s major doctrines out of the explicit concern that what the church says will be heard as gospel. Two criteria guide all their statements: (1) that Christ’s death is not “wasted” (i.e., that a statement does not make an assertion about God or faith that could have been made without Christ’s death) and (2) that good news is brought to sinners. They succeed admirably in integrating the major parts of the historic catechism (Commandments, Creed, Lord’s Prayer, and Sacraments) in light of these criteria. The book stresses not so much new information as deeper understanding. It is good in guiding us in how better to think about the faith. There is also some new information, however, in the use of the insights of recent biblical scholarship to illuminate areas such as the doctrine of God, the Commandments, prayer, and the sacraments. Here is one example on the Lord’s Supper:" @default.
