Concordia Electronic Theological Library: Collection 9 (6 vols.)

This is a translation of Chemnitz’s De Duabus Naturis in Christo, written in 1578. This book concerns the two natures of Christ (the divine and the human), their hypostatic union and the communication of their attributes and related questions. It shows that the Christology of the Lutheran reformers is that of Scripture, the ancient church fathers, and the creeds.

This book is made up of Walther’s Friday evening “Luther Hour” lectures at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis from September 1864 to November 1885. Most feel that this is his greatest contribution to the church.

This is a translation of Chemnitz’s “little book” for pastors. It discusses the Word and Sacraments, ceremonies of the church, and conduct of ministers.

This book examines the nature of church fellowship in the early history of the church. It explores the vocabulary of fellowship in the Christian community and the evidence from agreement in the confession of the faith and church practice in the Lord’s Supper.

This text describes the distinctive Lutheran aspects of parochial education. It explores the historical context of Lutheran education by examining the events and ideas that have contributed to the development of formal educational endeavors within the LCMS.
