Focusing on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Elert's classic text analyzes Lutheranism's theology and philosophy of life during this time. By combining historical criticism with dogmatic analysis, Elert examines the intricacies of Luther's theology in his monumental The Structure of Lutheranism. This breathtaking work emphasizes the continuity between the early and late Luther, while seeking to highlight misappropriations made and perpetuated by the later tradition. A landmark study reprinted by Concordia. 547 pages, hardcover.
