Description
No twentieth-century American understood Luther's law-gospel distinction better than Gerhard O.
Forde, who was professor of theology at Luther Theological Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Because Forde kept this Lutheran distinction razor sharp, his theological writings are an essential inheritance for us today.
This volume, The Essential Forde, aims to provide the essence of Forde's writing centered upon LutherAs and Scripture's essential distinction, that is, the distinction between law and gospel.
The editors of this volume have chosen some of the most definitive writings of the renowned Gerhad Forde, whose influence continues to grow.
The list of works trace the contours of Forde's theological argument. Organized around "Law and Gospel," the selections start off with some historical background on that doctrinal locus, but for the most part express Forde's own views of the law and the gospel, including death and resurrection, the bondage of the will, good works, preaching, and the sacraments.
Besides these essential writings, the book will provide a definitive introduction by the editors, which includes a brief biography of Forde, an essay regarding his doctrinal interpretation, and a sketch of the Forde legacy.
Also contained in the volume will be a comprehensive bibliography of all of Forde's published works plus work published about him.
