Pliny the Younger on Christians
One of the most important primary sources on the early church was included in the Perceus collection - namely the letters of Pliny the younger. Unfortunately, they are in Latin only, for whatever reasons. This brief letter (and Trajan's briefer reply approving the policy) is a witness to how Romans saw the Christians at…

Triumph of the Lamb (by Ted Grimsrud) - a commentary on Revelation
Ted Grimsrud teaches theology and peace studies at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA. His commentary on Revelation, Triumph of the Lamb (Herald Press, 1987) is freely available online on his website (Peace Theology). I converted it to a PB for my own use and then asked him for permission to post it here,…

Schmucker - Inaugural Address
This past weekend we had a discussion about all the great things available on the internet and compared that with the merits of a Seminary education. That reminded me of a potential PB that I had thought of doing in my continuing quest to bring in texts from Lutheran History... In 1826 Gettysburg Seminary opened its doors,…

Little Journeys With Martin Luther
Church disunity is a lamentable fact, and we Lutherans have had a part in it. Sometimes this is for a theological reason. Sometimes it is for a theological reason that no one remembers. Sometimes it is for not so theological reasons... About a century ago a Pastor of the Joint Synod of Ohio (William Nicholas Harley) wrote…

History of the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod - Socrates Henkel
The Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod was founded by supporters of David Henkel in 1820. It was born in controversy, and its view of Lutheran Identity just simply didn't make sense to anyone back then. But it turned out that by going back to the Confessions, they were ahead of their time. They were pioneers. Pioneers in…

Tixeront - Patrology - part 1
Probably about ten years ago I discovered the website http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/ and saw that one of the resources it had online for many of the writers was the section from Tixeront. I found that they were decent, even if quite dated, summaries of issues for these writings from a Roman Catholic perspective of…

The treatise of Irenæus of Lugdunum against the heresies; a translation of the principal passages, w
Irenaeus' magnum opus, his "Against Heresies" is one of the first theological classics. Many of his concerns are with us today, and many theologians of today have learned quite a bit from him. But the actual five books against heresies are a bit rambling, and long winded, at least to us. And so there have been a few…

Franz Pieper - Conversion and Election: a plea for a united Lutheranism in America
Almost one hundred years ago, the Norwegian Lutherans in the USA grew tired of a generation long fight over Predestination and in theological discussions in Madison, hammered out a theological agreement. It outlined two different "forms" used by Lutherans to describe predestination, and condemned some points of view that…

In http://community.logos.com/forums/t/72215.aspx I released the first volume of this work. But that was only books 1-3 of Against Heresies. This continuation includes Books 4 and 5 of Irenaeus' work - finishing it up. Source is http://archive.org/details/treatiseofiren02iren is the source for my PB. Again, I repeat the…

George McCready Price - Q.E.D.
A bit ago, I was asked about Young Earth Creationism, and, to be honest, I have not really dealt with any real attempts to defend this point of view. And so I went to wikipedia to find out a bit more. In the process, I found out about George McCready Price as an early proponent of this, and looked for a work by him which…

The Case for the Existence of God is the website for the pdf to convert into .docx to make a PB. As I read their copyright notice, I cannot offer the .docx file on another site.

I have been playing with this for a while, but seeing that the CP (http://www.logos.com/product/27365/alexander-souter-studies-in-early-christianity-collection) is about to go though, figured releasing a portion of what I did before the collection was offered could be interesting advertizement for the Logos product.…

Justin Martyr - 1st Apology
For some reason, I don't remember exactly why when I was in school I wanted to know more about some of the earliest Christian writings and so made a special order from the school bookstore of Cyril C. Richardson's Early Christian Fathers. My dead-tree edition has been quite heavily used by me over the years. It was with…

UBS6/NA29 coming out soon, How does Logos typically package new Critical Editions?
With the recent pre-order showing up for the UBS6 Readers edition and the Textual commentary on the new edition (both releasing June '25)- it is certain the new editions of the Critical Apparatus and GNT text are just around the corner. It had me thinking, how does Logos typically do the new releases of critical editions…

Schmucker - Popular Theology
In 1826 Samuel Simon Schmucker became the first theological professor for the oldest presently existing Lutheran Seminary in the United States of America. At first he translated a 2 volume Dogmatic work from Germany for his students but found that they didn't have the background for it. And so he wrote one - Elements of…

Why Missouri Stood Alone
In 1922, to celebrate its 75th anniversary, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod released a book covering many aspects of its history. LC-MS is infamous for being standoffish, and this has led to some bad press, especially from a press that does not know where we come from. This is not a new concern. And so one of the essays…

Harkey - The Church's Best State
I thought that, for fairness sake I should release some of the "other side" of the Nevin - no matter how much I am in sympathy with him. And so I picked this book written by Simeon W. Harkey a year before the Nevin tract to let a spokesperson for these "new measures" speak in their own words. Simeon W. Harkey was a…

Nevin - The Anxious Bench - 2nd Edition
This book admittedly stretches the guidelines that I try to follow to not use Logos servers to compete with Logos products. Logos has a collection of works from the great German Reformed theologian, John Nevin in the Community Pricing program. That collection has the original of this tract. I very much encourage you to…

Benjamin Kurtz - Why are you a Lutheran?
S.S. Schmucker was not the only figure in "American Lutheranism". He was probably the major intellectual force for it, but the popular mouthpiece was Benjamin Kurtz. In 1843 he released a book called Why are you a Lutheran? in which he explains his view of Lutheranism in largely non-technical, popular terms. This book was…

Sartorius - The Doctrine of Divine Love
Talking about Ethics is problematical in the Church today... In fact, a significant treatment on this topic, namely, _You Lost Me_ was a vyrso freebie about a month ago. Too many people hear our Christianity as just an out of date ethical system, and when they feel like they cannot relate to that system, just drift away.…

And so I created…

Sartorius - The Doctrine of the Person and Work of Christ
At the risk of forcing out of date, obscure works into the world, I am releasing this. Ernst (or Ernest?) Sartorius was an obscure figure of whom I had not heard of before. But he was quoted a few times in the Jacobs book I recently posted, and I found the quotes moderately interesting. In the Jacobs book his quotes…

Definite platform, doctrinal and disciplinarian, for Evangelical Lutheran district synods: construct
In 1855 this short anonymous booklet arrived in the mail, and set off a firestorm. As the controversy erupted, Samuel Simon Schmucker claimed this work as his own - not to anyone's surprize. The Subject is the title of this work on the Title page. The cover, however, has the much shorter title "Definite Synodical…

Gerberding - The Way of Salvation in the Lutheran Church
