Gerhard was the premier Lutheran theologian of the early seventeenth century. Combining his profound understanding of evangelical Lutheran theology with a broad interest in ethics and culture he produced significant works on biblical doctrinal pastoral and devotional theology. Gerhard interacts with the writings of the church fathers Luther and his contemporaries and the Catholic and Calvinist theologians of his day. His 17-volume Loci is regarded as the standard compendium of Lutheran orthodoxy with topics ranging from the proper understanding and interpretation of Scripture to eschatology.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(9 11 13 1)>Useful for research on Lutheran doctrine Gerhard's accessible style makes this a must-have on the bookshelf of pastors and professional church workers.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(9 11 13 1)> </span></p><p></p>
