Gerhard has always been one of my favorite Lutheran Divines. Whether Reformed or Lutheran the Seventeenth Century age of Orthodoxy produced some of the greatest theological minds to ever walk the planet. There was not this preoccupation with specialization that is characteristic of modern theologians almost to a man the theologians of the Age of Orthodoxy were adept in every branch of theological knowledge and ranged over the entire field of theological encyclopedia with ease. Very happy to see this great work translated and in print.
