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.

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 forma- tion 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.
