A Formula for Parish Practice (Lutheran Quarterly Books)

Timothy Wengert takes the Formula of Concord, traditionally used as ammunition in doctrinal disagreements, back to its historical home, the local congregation, giving pastors, students, and theologians a glimpse into the original debates over each article.

Translated Christianities (Latin American Originals, #8)
