<p>When the Schmalkaldic League was defeated at the Battle of Muhlberg and the Elector Johann Frederick was captured, the Lutheran Reformation's future seemed precarious at best. In order to avoid persecution or further hardship, some theologians were willing to assent to compromise formulas intended to placate the Roman Catholic emperor and princes. A few others, however, especially those gathered in Magdeburg, a city under siege, refused to do so. With Matthias Flacius, they held that "in the situation of confession and incitement to sin, nothing is an adiaphoron." This book includes translations of four of the important works Flacius wrote to buoy his fellow believers in their resistance and to explain what he and his coreligionists considered to be the proper biblical teaching regarding adiaphora.</p>

<p>Bo Giertz preaches to preachers in a series of ordination sermons and clearly demonstrates the concern for the care of souls that endeared him to faithful laypeople and clergy alike in a collection of essays on pastoral theology. Capably translated and packed with theological and devotional treasures, this work is a substantive contribution to the English corpus of the Swedish bishop's thought and work, edifying for both shepherds and sheep.</p>

Hermann Sasse spoke with a lucid and often prophetic voice in the dark years of Hitler's rule in Germany and its disastrous aftermath. His sermons sounded forth for all who would hear him the heart and core of confessional Lutheran theology: Christ Jesus crucified for sinners. Biblical and timely, Sasse still calls out to the Church today through this translation. All those who take the time to listen will be richly blessed through his faithfulness to the Scriptures, insights into the hearts of men and the grace of the Savior, and his deep knowledge of the history of the Christ's Church.
