Forthcoming 2017 HEBREWS John W. Kleinig 2 SAMUEL Andrew E. Steinmann

New ROMANS 9–16 Dr. Michael P. Middendorf (cph.org/michaelmiddendorf) is Professor of eology at Concordia University Irvine, California. Romans conveys the timeless truths of the Gospel to all people of all times and places. at very fact explains the tremendous impact the letter has had ever since it was rst written. In this letter, Paul conveys the essence of the Christian faith in a universal manner that has been cherished by believers—and challenged by unbelievers—perhaps more so than any other biblical book. In this commentary, you’ll nd the following: • Clear exposition of the Law and Gospel theology in Paul’s most comprehensive epistle • Passage a er passage of bene cial insight for preachers and biblical teachers who desire to be faithful to the text • An in-depth overview of the context, ow of Paul’s argument, and commonly discussed issues in each passage • Detailed textual notes on the Greek, with a well-reasoned explanation of the apostle’s message “ e thorough, thoughtful, and careful interaction with other interpreters of Romans and contemporary literature that runs through the commentary is truly excellent. Yet Middendorf listens rst and foremost to the text and faithfully formulates his own answers to interpretive questions. His patient hearing of the text will bring other readers of Romans to do so as well. His cross-referencing and review of earlier sections of his argument is especially useful and will help others to understand the message of Romans as a whole. is commentary will have its impact in the pulpit and in the pew.” —Dr. Mark Seifrid, Professor of Exegetical eology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis 928 pages.

New 1 SAMUEL Dr. Andrew E. Steinmann (cph.org/andrewsteinmann) is Professor of eology and Hebrew at Con- cordia University Chicago in River Forest, Illinois. e Book of Samuel contains some of the most memorable accounts of the Bible: Han- nah’s prayer for a son and trust in the coming Messiah, God calling Samuel at night in the tabernacle, the capture of Yahweh’s ark and the death of the high priest Eli, the anointing of Saul as Israel’s rst king and his subsequent apostasy, the battle of David and Goliath, the messianic promise of the Son of David who will build God’s house, and David’s adultery with Bathsheba followed by his confession and absolution by the prophet Nathan. ese incidents are skillfully narrated so that readers feel the tension, pathos, failures, and triumph of God’s people under their kings. e lowly shepherd David from Bethlehem is anointed to be king of Israel, typifying the life, ministry, and eternal reign of the cruci ed and risen Christ. Even David’s notorious sins provide opportunities for God to demonstrate the forgiveness he freely bestows through David’s greater Son and Lord.

@CPHACADEMIC CPH.ORG/ACADEMICBLOG 5 Historical Theology

THE PASTOR Wilhelm Loehe; translated by Wolf Knappe; edited by Rev. Charles Schaum. Never before translated into English, e Pastor is a practical handbook for clergy who em- brace the Reformation. Encounter newly uncovered perspectives from nineteenth century clergyman Wilhelm Loehe as he explains the how and why of a pastor’s duties in the “one holy catholic and apostolic church.” He clari es not just Lutheran pastoral practice in the nineteenth century, but also what it means to apply the Means of Grace to God’s people in the twenty- rst century, in harmony with the Church of all ages. Topics include the following: • Pastoral practice and ethics • Homiletics • Catechesis • Liturgics • Pastoral care and counseling

“Loehe’s e P a s t o r is of great bene t, especially for Lutheran pastors today. Loehe, a German Lutheran living in the 1800s, was an expert in the pastoral and devotional literature of Lutheranism and of the Early Church. He brings forth these old treasures in this, his pastoral theology, and by doing so he opens a door to areas of divine wisdom that most modern pastors do not even know exist. From pastoral formation to Lutheran ‘ascetic literature’ to Lutheran casuistry (solving di cult issues, cases of conscience) to worship and preaching, the old words of Wilhelm Loehe are new and contemporary to us.” —Matthew C. Harrison, President, e Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

360 pages. Paperback. “When Wilhelm Loehe died in 1872, he le behind a legacy in missions and diaconal work that is rightly celebrated down to the present day. His approach to pastoral theology was eclipsed by clinical approaches 531218 9780758650276 $39.99 to pastoral care, which were long on psychological theory but short on theology. Now e P a s t o r makes his rich and re ective work as a shepherd who cared for Christ’s people available to an English-speaking audience. e wisdom contained in this book was shaped by Loehe’s own life under the cross, which pressed him into the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions. e P a s t o r is a classic work in the care of souls. I look forward to using it as a text in my own classes in pastoral theology.” —John T. Pless, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry & Missions, Concordia eological Seminary, Fort Wayne, IN

“ is book provides an excellent and much-needed introduction to the major writers of Lutheran Ortho- doxy. is is the era in which the theology of the Reformation was nely tuned and developed to meet the challenges of the early modern era, not only in polemics, but also in biblical exegesis and philosophy. e scholars who produced this volume are expert and insightful, and the format of the volume serves well to introduce the Lutheran orthodox and to guide readers into the signi cant aspects of their thought.

New PASTORAL THEOLOGY Edited by Dr. David Loy; translated by Christian Tiews. Walther’s Pastoral eology was the rst confessional Lutheran handbook for the pastoral ministry published in the United States and remains, to this day, a very important work from a historical perspective. It also remains an eminently practical work of careful biblical theology and application of the Bible’s teaching for the Church’s ministry, and therefore will appeal to all who are concerned about the pastoral ministry and how it is practiced in a faithful, biblical manner. Walther explains the how and why of what a pastor does. is is the only complete translation of one of C. F. W. Walther’s most important and in uential books.

“Pastoral theology is the God-given practical disposition of the soul, acquired by certain means, by which a servant of the church is equipped to perform all the tasks that come to him in that capacity—validly, in a legitimate manner, to the glory of God, and for the advancement of his own and his hearers’ salvation.” —From Chapter One 576 pages.

Recently Released ALL GLORY TO GOD Encounter the nal, mature systematic theology of C. F. W. Walther, rst president of the LCMS. In no other work did Walther set forth his own theology as comprehensively as he did here. is volume is especially signi cant for its teaching on predestination and its defense of Lutheran doctrine as that which gives “all glory to God.” ese writings sparked the predestination controversy in North American Lutheranism in the late nineteenth century and reinstated the doctrine of the Formula of Concord, Article XI.

“In this nal apologetic, Walther makes the case for a conservative, confessional Lutheran approach to the major doctrines of Scripture. In deliberative and comprehensive fashion, he calls to the witness stand the testimony of his opponents, contrasting them with the clear words of the prophets and apostles, the Lutheran Confessions, Luther, and the Lutheran Church Fathers. is . . . is a nal legacy—a theological last will and testament—to his beloved church family.” —Rev. Dr. Daniel N. Harmelink, Executive Director, Concordia Historical Institute

Schmidt is professor of sociology emeritus at Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois, and a fellow of the Society for the Scienti c Study of Religion. Lutheran theology survived the last ve hundred years, but will it withstand the next? Ever since Luther nailed his Ninety-Five eses to the church door in Wittenberg centuries ago, Lutheran theology has had to overcome political, religious, and societal pressures that challenged its foundational teachings. But do Lutherans today understand their theological heritage well enough to maintain and defend their unique beliefs when outside pressures dismiss them as irrelevant to modern-day Christianity? Hallmarks of Lutheran Identity sets forth more than twenty important practices, doctrines, and beliefs that distin- guish Lutheranism from all other denominations. Topics include these: • Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Sola Scriptura, and Solus Christus • e Dichotomy of Law and Gospel • Christ’s Presence in the Lord’s Supper • Luther’s Unique Insight on the eology of the Cross

“In this sparkling handbook of Lutheran theology, the author draws on his own experience of popular American Christianity. Yet his focus is not on his own story but on the common impact of God’s Word as Law and Gospel on its hearers. Against the backdrop of its spiritually shallow and super cially biblical claims, he portrays the full counsel of God evangelically and sacra- mentally, with wit and verve, clarity and depth, passion and imagination.” —Rev.

New SEXUAL MORALITY IN A CHRISTLESS WORLD Dr. Matthew Rueger is pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Hubbard, Iowa. Author Matthew Rueger openly embraces the topic of sexuality, providing a framework for Christians to defend their beliefs by rst exploring the relationship between sexual sin in ancient history and twenty- rst-century tangles of the same avor. Topics such as temptation, promiscuity, marriage, homosexuality, natural law, and the church’s role in it all swirl together to reveal our unifying need for a Savior. Rueger writes compassionately with a father’s heart and adamantly with a erce determination to outline the truth about sexual morality from a reasoned Christian perspective.

“In a wonderful, biblically faithful way, Rueger shows what it means to be a confessing Christian in the twenty- rst century as he turns our attention to the bold witness of the rst-century Christians who stood out among a promiscuous society and turned the world to the Gospel. is book will help those su ering under sexual confusion with a biblical sexual morality that is both compassionate and Christ-centered.” —Rev.

Summer 2017 THE LIFE OF CHRIST Rev. John Adam Fahling (1892–1945) Anyone who has read the four Gospels has probably wondered, how do the events of Christ’s life t together? is newly updated volume answers that question, while also explaining why the Church rejected other accounts of Christ’s life that recent manuscript discoveries have brought to light. Author Adam Fahling’s unique commentary describes the most important life, from the most widely read book, from the most in uential religion in history. About the author: Like Jesus of Nazareth, Adam Fahling taught the Scriptures and cared for souls, serving as a parish pastor in Oklahoma and Michigan (1914–45). His research into the life of Christ led to requests that he prepare this book based on history, archaeology, geography, chronology, and Greek philology. Rejecting the modern quest for the “historical Jesus,” Fahling focused on the traditional accounts of Jesus’ life. e result is an unparalleled, readable biography and commentary on the Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. 728 pages.

FUNDAMENTAL BIBLICAL HEBREW AND FUNDAMENTAL BIBLICAL ARAMAIC Dr. Andrew A. Bartelt (cph.org/andrewbartelt) and Dr. Andrew E. Steinmann (cph.org/andrewsteinmann) Fundamental Biblical Hebrew is organized in a manner that facilitates learning and serves as an easy-to-use reference tool, including vocabulary, morphology, and syntax. While it serves as a basic Hebrew textbook and grammar for the purpose of theological study, it is useful for college, university, and seminary courses, as well as a desk reference for pastors en- gaged in the study of the Bible in its original language. Fundamental Biblical Aramaic helps students who possess a working knowledge of biblical Hebrew to gain reading pro ciency in biblical Aramaic. While it is not designed to introduce other Aramaic dialects, such as Old Aramaic, Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, Palmyrene or Nabataean, it is written so that the advanced student who wishes to pursue further study by exploring ancient Aramaic dialects may do so. To that end, from time to time, reference is made to the historical developments in ancient Aramaic.

New TEACHING THE FAITH AT HOME WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? HOW IS THIS DONE? Dr. David Rueter is the director of the DCE program at Concordia University, Irvine. In addition, he serves as the Youth and Family Ministry Facilitator for the Paci c Southwest District of e Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. A er assessing current trends in the faith development of youth, Dr. David Rueter wrote Teaching the Faith at Home to reveal why the historic model of teaching the catechism early in the home is key in keeping families connected to the Church. Part 1 focuses on laying a foundation for understanding the history, purpose, and theological reasons for catechesis. Part 2 is a practical look at strategies and models for catechetical instruction that can be shared at church and used in the home. Catechesis that’s grounded in family life is not a new idea, but it’s one that our fast-paced culture o en forgets and would do well to remember and cherish.
