“The name ‘Lutheran’ ought always, in the sphere of scholarship, to designate first of all devotion to exegetical study.” —from the introduction
Luther, Melanchthon, and Chemnitz, while being theologians, were above all else exegetes, drawing the mysteries of Christianity prayerfully and resourcefully forth from the Holy Scriptures. Their calling as expounders of the Scriptures is a time-honored tradition in ecclesiastical Lutheran heritage that still proves itself today. The Lutheran Commentary is a product of that tradition, reverently exegeting the biblical text—not for the sake of generating more systematic theologies and dogmatic treatises, but for a closer devotion to the God who gave us the Scriptures. The rich and lively expositions contained in this commentary were written to stimulate the mind, challenge the conscience, and grow the heart—of Christians of any creed or confession.
